The Militia and the Centennial

Editor Of Rutland Globe Il discovered
at late hour, in The GLOBE of Jan. 9th,
some editorial structures on Citizens

l should expect from that source, that gen.
erous candor, which attributes "honesty of
purpose" To such criticism, that is dis
posed to allow merit, as we'll rs to point
out defect, shall always bow with re-
spect, and shall always be grateful for any
actual corrections. 1t is due TO myself and
to the subject under consideration, to say
that the proposition of taking the whole

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION

Seven cities, in ancient times, competed
for the honor of having given Homer birth
but twice seven cities now compete for the
honor of giving political birth to the next
president of the United States, and the re.
publican national committee meet in
Washington, Wednesday, to settle the
vexed question by naming the time and
place for holding the next republican ma.
tional nominating convention. New York.
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Detroit,
Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Louisville
and St. Louis have long been in the field
urging their claims for the prize, and,
Saturday, the state republican committee
OF Massachusetts selected Ex-Governor
Clafiin to urge the availability of Boston.
On the same day, Washington, not to be
behind hand, held a meeting of her citizens,
raised sum of money, appointed COM
mittees, ETC., in order to secure the assem-
bling of the convention in that city.
In some respects it is of very little i'm
portance when or where the convention
shall be held, for let the place be where it
will, or the time when it may be, there will
be full representation, and, perhaps,
about the same class of delegates will at
tend in any event. 1t seems TO us, how
ever, that an early day is important. 1t
has always been the custom of the republi-
can party and its predecessor, The whig
party, to hold their conventions early in
the year and prior to that of the opposition
their nominations have been made with
out any regard to the real or possible NOM
inee OF the democracy, while the latter
party has always awaited the result of the
wing or republican convention, and have
made their nominations dependent upon
the personnel of the latter We see no good
reason, except possibly the one we shall
suggest, why this custom should be depart
ed from this year. There is, at least, one
reason why it should not be departed from.
The third term matter is pretty effectually
killed, and there is hardly possibility of
Its resurrection but, as the small boys
say, 1t will not do any harm to " kill il q
little deader." We do not apprehend
any possible danger from the matter, but
so long as state republican conventions and
state legislatures deem 1t necessary to con-
tinue ourynG ii, and so long as even a
handful of so-called republican congress.
men take occasion to proclaim their adj
herence to the doctrine of third term, and
the president seems to believe in the proba-
bility OF emergencies " that may require

In the national house of representatives,
Wednesday, Abram S. Hewitt, democrat,
Of New York, was, at his own request,
transferred from the committee on public
buildings and grounds to that on foreign
affairs-one of his colleagues changing
places with him. The reason for the
change, as Mr.. Hewitt stated it, was that
his private and business relations were such
that, if he remained on the committee,
there would frequently arise conflicts
between public duty and private interests.
Mr.. Hewitt's course was very commend
able, and we only wish that there were more
members OF congress, on both sides of the
house, possessed of the same true deicacy.
If there had been in times past, we should
never have heard Of the Credit Mobilier
scandal.

The great objection made to the income
tax-and with democrats it seemed to
overshadow the necessity for raising money
for carrying on the war-was that it cstab-

resolution adopted by the democratic house
of representatives, on the motion of Aylett

r THE fear Of the "Great Unknownu is
not confined to the Republican candi-
dates for the Presidency. Mr.. THURMAN
has been expressing some dread; of that
shadowy parsonage in. regard to his own
prospects for the Democratic nominal
Zion. As matters now stand, ThurmaHs
nomination is among the foremost prob
abilities OF the result of the st. Louis
Convention. He has himself expressed
bis belief, that he is foreordained to a
nomination, with this proviso-"unless
the East and the West get to quarrel
Ing" In this event, he says he fears q

some Great Unknown" But, when com.
promise comes into the game, Thurman
is just the man to show full hand. So
khat, upon the whole, we think he
stands as near to the nomination now

Nor do we think they could get better

old struggle over again, but for prize

thejurisdiction having been interposed,
that forms the first issue to be
determined by the Senate sitting as a
Court. The argument Of this question
will doubtless call forth the best legal
salient found among the Managers, and
Its decision will be waited tor with great
interest by the whole country as well as
by the legal profession particularly.
Should the Senate's decision sus:

trial is at once ended for
the want of Jurisdiction. But, should
Ehe plea be overruled, then the trial will
commence in earnest by the introduction
of testimony and hearing ON the merits.

diction will doubtless consume many
