The Danger at Cincinnati.

.
An ably written article appears in
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, of
Monday, touching the approaching
convention at Cincinnati, with the
sentiments of which Republicans
generally will heartily coincide. 1t
treats specifically of the straightfor-
wardness which ought to character
ize the proceedings of that body,
national in its representative charac-
ter. That the seven hundred dele
gates there to be assembled will
nominate the next President of the
United States there is no doubt.
The necessity, therefore, of thor
oughly fit nomination need hardly
be mentioned. With the opinion Of
the Globe Democrat we coincide, that
the destinies that hang on the result
are momentous, and if the Repub-
lican convention shall fail to meet
the universal demand for some in.
dication Of a change for the better i'm
the line of politics, our whole system
of government by the people will
receive "a shock second only 10 that
which it received when the Demo
Gratis put its State rights theory in
to practice. The delegates ut Gin
cinnati will be beset by snares, and
the temptations of bargain and sale.
Confidence In prospective victory
may perhaps prove a temptation to
carelessness. But the delegates TO
the convention ut Cincinnati ought
to understand that the people whom
they represent desire no trades or
bargains, no compromises for the
sake for mere expediency, but nom
nations Of men whose names are
sufficient guarantee that the affairs
of the country will be honestly ad-
miBistered. AS an illustration Of the
disposition not infrequent in con
ventiens, and which leads to results
not desirable, our cotemporary has
the good sense to say:
at will not avail to lelect Toni
then let him combine with Dick 10
beat Harry. This is the short road
to political ruination. The vote is
powerless by itself; its strength can
be made palpable only in combina-
ton with others, and to combine
with others it passed from the hands
Of the delegate, to whom alone it be-
longs into the hands Of the mercena-
ry wire-pullero ta&

An incident recently occurred in
Washington city which clearly illus
trates the bitterness of political feel
ing among the Democrats Of the
South, and the extent and cruelty to
which persecution is carried OH ac-
count Of political differences. Bruce
p. Thomas, young man of good
family, resided atSeima, Ala, which
is embraced in the Congressional dis
trict nowrepresented Ivy .Jere Haral-
son, a colored man, formerly slave.
Thomas was native of Alabama,
and served with credit in the rebel
army during the rebellion. His
mother was widow and married
second time, her present husband.
Thomas stepfather, being a man Of
wealth and influence in his section.
At the last Presidential election the
young man voted for General Grant,
and in consequence his stepiather
turned him ont of doors. lie soon
became an object for derision and
scorn among the chivalrous people
who had hitherto given him social
recognition and welcome, and it was
with great difficulty that lie was able
to procure livelihood in Alabama.
Mr.. HARRISON, knowing the cruel
persecution the young man had been
subjected to because he hid followed
| his convictions and voted in accord
ance with what he believed 10 be his
duty, presented his case to Secretary
Bristow, and succeeded shortly after
| the opening OF Congress, in having
him appointed to clerkship in the
Treasury Department. A short time
ago Thomas was Frustrated with
hemorrhage of the lungs. At his re-
quest Mr.. HARRISON called frequent y
to see him, and furnished him with
all possible assistance. Finding he
was beyond human aid, Mr.. Haral-
son telegraphed his parent, md also
informed the Hon. Taul Bradford, a
member Of Congress from Alabama,
a cousin of the young man, OF his
dangerous condition. No response
was received from the parents, and 1t
Is not known that Mr.. Bradford ever
called to see his dying relative. On
Friday night last this victim or
Southern prescription and ostracism
breathed his last, with no friendly
face near him save that OF the negro
HARRISON, who once toiled unrequit-
ed for white men in Alabama, but
who now represents a constituency
in the American Congress.
Mr.. HARRISON, upon the death Of
Thomas, telegraphed to his parents,
and asked whether he should send
the remains home. a reply came,
Bury him in Washington" Moth
ing was said in the dispatch about the
expense Of burial. Ascertaining that
Thomas belonged to Masonic lodge
in Selma, and Knowing some Of the
members, Mr.. HARRISON telegraphed
them the facts, and the Selma lodge
telegrap!ied the Masonic brethren
here to give the body Masonic burial,
which was done aud the friendly
offices OF Mr.. HARRISON prevented the
remains of Thomas being handed
over to the city authorities for inter-
ment i'm a pauper's grave.

Head, body and arms are entirely lost to
view. They never turn TO look al ira in.
Indeed, the very animals seem to share the
phleginatic German temperament. They
EaZed at US in such lauguIi way it was
positively amusing.
AT Oottingen a crowd of students were on
the platform, awaiting some one WHO came
on tie train with US. There seemed 10 be a
few representatives from every one OF their
many societies, for there were an infinite
variety OF colored caps. If a person can con-
5 ier interesting the many marks OF honor
they bear upon their faces, / suppose they are
hne-!ooking fellows. i, who only look. d
UPON the aforesaid marks of honor as disdg-
appearance OF The students.
AT CasSel there was a fine view of the ceIe-
DRAFTED Wilheimshohe. After this the dark
ness began to close in around us. We strained
our eyes watching the field works trudging
nome with their families over the long miles
OF hard white road until we could see no
more Then we resigned ourselves TO gazing
into one another's sleepy faces by the dim
lantern light OF the coupe, for the darkness
was intense outside.
At Frankfort a thunder storm com.
menced. which was at its height when
we rode into the Weisbaden depot. Tired
and sleepy, we traversed the long covered
platform after the carriage driver. Half
bllnded by the many lanterns that flashed in
our faces, deafened by the thunder and the
ears, we tried to collect our scattered senses
TO the realization that we were in our new
home. Five minutes after the carriage door
banged To on us we were at the hotel, happy
that we were al least in Weisbaden.
