The CIarksburg Convention.
We received at late hour last nigh
the proceedings of the Clarksburg Con
vcntion held yesterday, which are pub
lished in another column. These pro-
ceediugs are so fully reported, and speak
so clearly for themselves, that iri' mol
necessary TO add anything by way
Of exegetical comment in this issue
Of our paper. The delegation to Cincln-
natl Is one that includes several names
well known to the people Of the Stale
particularly those ofeI.GOysraoF steven, :
son, ex-senator Wiley and General
Col, and no doubt as to the others it is
unto the average Of delegations sent from
other states. R. ". Simmons, very re-
.nec,,blc and intelligent colored citizen
of porkcr.bnrg, i. given the post Of honor
=. Jslcrale at large from the State. Thi.
commitment that no doubt the colorcd
pcopIe will highly appreciate, and one
that under the circumstances was both
right and judicious on the part Of the con.
yenlion.
While no formal resoludo Of instruc.
ton was passed, yet strong Blaine reso'
luton was adopted, one almost tanta'
mount to an instruction, inasmuch as ii
nGirms that the first choice Of our people
i. for that distinguished gentleman.
Ex-senator Wiley is understood to be
Bristow man. Perhaps he is sandwich
ed in, like the complimentary resolution
to the Secretary, for the sake Of a little
yarilty, 10 sweeten the Bristow brethren
a trile and let them down as
gently as possible The ex-senator
isagood exhorter, and we are not with
out hope that Ire will exert salutary
influence at Cincinnati in case il becomes
necessary to save the country, or even
the party, by scattering the vote u little.
In addition to the compliment to Bris.
tow and the expression Of preference for
Blaine, the Convention passed several
other resolutions, all Of them iron clad
and unexceptionable. We do not see any
place where the joints OF the armor arc
open to incision, unless it be the tariff
resolution. Some people, who are sensi'
tive on such subjects, think tariff for
revenue, and incidental protection is {
contradiction in terms, inasmuCh as il
cannot yield revenue by free importa'
tions, and protection at tho Same time. |
we remember right Senator Sherman
took some such ground as this not yer!
long ago. On the whole, however, every.
body must admit that the resolution
are we'll pat. We do not think our Dem
ocratic brethren, who meet at Charleston
next month, can very we'll take issu'
with them. No doubt, but for the SAX
Of originality, they will almost feel lik
adopting more or less Of them themselves
We think it was quite as well on the
part Of the convention to leave over tn
appointment Of Presidential electors Il
the next convention. This will saw
possible embarrassment on the part o
those who might have been appointed
yesterday, in case the great and goo

ship, and are entitled 10 full and equal

tlon anu laws IN all the rlRhts ol cltlhen'
ship, and are entitled TO full and equal
protection in their exercise.
8. We favor an honest and economical
administration Of the government, and
also retrenchment and reform in the
public service. Integrity and fidelity
should be required Of all officials, and
when they are found to be dishonest and
corrupt they should be prosecuted and
punished, and We cordially commend aud
demand the vigorous prosecution OF pub
lie offenders by the present National Ad-
ministration.
4. The National credit and honor musi
be sacredly maintained. --
8. We are In favor Of the most liberal
National legislation looking TO the pro-
lection Of labor in Its broadest sense un.
der the provisions Of the Constitution oI
the United States.
Q. To the soldiers and sailors who
fought for the Union, the nation owes q
debt Of gratitude, and tRey and the wild
ows and orphans OF those who have fallen
are Justly entitled to liberal bounties and
pensions.
Z. We favor tariff for revenue, with
incidental protection to American in
dustry.
8. The Hon. Benjamin H. Btistow, for
his persistent and successful warfare
against corruption, deserves the thanks Of
al friends Of honest government.
0. Without detrimcnt to the claims Of
other distinguished Republican states
men whose names are before the people
as suitable candidates for the Presidency,
we proclaim the strongest expressions, OF
confidence in the Hon. James G. Blaine,
Of Maine, whose career in Congress for
fifteen years has endeared him to the
hearts OF the Republicans Of the country.
Distinguished as he has been during all
this period as an eminently able and
tried exponent 81 the principles Of the
party, as an advocate OF honest govern
ment, Of the purest and most exalted per.
.sonal charactsr, and possessing all the
qualities which would add honor TO the
Office Of President Of the United States,
he is the first choice OF u majority Of the
people Of this state for that position.
DISCUSSION.
After the reading Of these resolutions,
during which very decided interest was
manifested by all present, especially dur
log the reading Of the last resolution, a
considerable discussion followed. They
we're however adopted by majority vote.
Alter they we're disposed Of the Conven-
tion resolved that it is not expcdient at
this time to select Presidential Electors,
and on motion adjourned sine die.

Gun dispatches yesterday morning an.
nounced the CAUCUS selection Of VIM. II.
Barnum (Democrat) to represent Con.
nectlcutin the o. s. Senate. The Spring.
field Republican sums him up as follows
Mr.. William H. Barnum is rich rail,
road man. He owns an iron mine. He
is engaged in manufactures. He has so
much private business on his hands, in.
deed, that he has been unable TO spare
much time to his public business as q
member Of the House. lie is one Of the
wealthiest men in the State, and spends
his money freely for his party-and him
self. lie thinks the time has come for q
return from these liberal Investments,
and presents himself before the Demo.
cratic Legislature at Hartford as a can.
didate for the United States Senate-a
trust for which probably scores ofhis own
EN- ployes are better fitted, intellectually
and morally. The Democratic party has
proiessed to be party OF reform; also, a
irec-trade party. Yetgood judges on the
ground profess to regard the election oi
this high.tariif iron man, with his no.
toriously loose political morals and prac'
ticcs staring the Democratic legislators
in the face, as foregone conclusion.

united action BY the profession Of the

ture to abolish the Homeopathic College

ability to exunguish homeopathy without
the assistance Of their brethren II the

made in Salonica. The bodies Of the
victims remained unburied yesterday,
The assassination is not an isolated oc'
currence. The Musselmans' were preyi'
ously much agitated over the news from
Herzegovina, and had assembled several
times Tor the purpose Of preparing for
the massacre Of the Christians. The
French Consul at Salonica had been in
suited several times. Dispatches from
Salonica as late as yesterday evening say
that fresh disturbances arc apprehended
there. The Christians have closed their
