The 81. Louis Committee An.
nounce 10 Gov. Tilden His
Nomination.

New YORK, July 1.-THE committee
appointed by the 81. Louis Convention 10
notify Governor Tilden Of his nomination
for President by the Democratic party,
waited on the Governor tonight at his
residence. Delegates from nearly every
State in the Union were present, and the
Governor gave the committee cordial
greeting.
General McClernand addressed the
Governor and outlined the work Of the
ST. Louis Convention. It was august in
character, patriotic in sentiment, met at q
time when civil authority was exposed
to fresh encroachments from the military,
when hard money was dishonored and
virtually banished from circulation by
vicious legislation. When peculation and
corruption were sapping the foundations
Of the Government the convention de-
termined to save the country and choose
for standard bearers tried, true and trust
ed men.
Gen. McClernand then read the address
Of the committee conveying official in
formation Of the nomination to Governor
Tilden. Itstated that he.was nominated
because his name is prominently identi-
fed with reform, reduction Of taxation,
maintainance Of the rights Of the laboring
masses, and his record Is one Of untarnish-
ed purity in the eyes Of his countrymen.
Hon. w. B. Hanna, OF Indiana, also
delivered long address TO the Governor
on behalf Of the people Of Indiana. and
pledging him their united and entire
support.
Gov. Tilden replied, accepting the
nomination, and said he would soon
transmit formal letter OF acceptance.
He said he believed his nomination was
not mere personal preference, but
rather a declaration In favor Of admins.
tratiye reforms with which events had
associated him in the public mind. The
demand for reform in all governments
and chiefly in the Federal Government,
have led to- series Of fsurprises in popular
assemblages and perhaps in the conyen.
ton itself. What we have witnessed may
be an augury OF what we may witness in
the election about 10 take place. The
labor OF reforming the system Of govern
ment Is great and II elected should enter
upon It's great duties not as on holiday
but much in that spirit Of conservation II
which soldier enters the battle. We
now see the dawn Of better day for ouI
country. The Republic is yet to be rem
oyated and to live in all the future.
Gov. Tilden wound up by cordially
thanking the members OF the committee
After which collation. was enjoyed.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE National
Educational Association this morning re-
sumed its session and listened to Prof,
Edward Olney, Of the University Of
Michigan, read paper on the country
school problem. -u.-
Mr.. White, Of Illinois, reported upon
the subject Of raising an endowment fund
for the Association. II sometimes hap
pened that the income did not equal the
expenses, so that an endowment fund was
necessary to keep the Association from
embarrassment, and he then proposed to
raise the fee for life-membership from
$40 to $40, and TO admit any friend Of
education to liie-directorship upon the
payment OF Sl0O. The income obtained
from the fund thus raised Is TO be used
exclusively to pay for the publication ol

ARREST OF A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER.
A sensation was created here to-day
by the arrest Of notorious negro named
Frances Thompson, who has figured here
for the past fifteen years as the keeper Of
notorious assignation house, and who
passed for woman. During the sitting
Of the Congressional investigating COM
mittee here after the riots Of 1866 she
figured extensively as witness, and
swore that during the night of the riot
she was outraged thirteen times.
During the past FIVE years Thompson
has been arrested frequently, but always
managed to escape the clutches OF the law,
But the suspicious Of the officers being
aroused, several physicians were called in,
and an examination developed the fact
that Thompson was q. man. He was
made 10 don male garb and sentenced to

business Tor the past six Months

BuStness Tor tne past Stk hhohths
Our Wheeling manufacturers and mer-
chants have been busy since the lst OF the
month balancing their books and making
up their exhibits. The general result is
not, we Judge, very satisfactory. We
take il from all accounts that the mills
have not made much money, nor have the
merchants, as class, had a plelhoric half
year, although the latter have no doubt
done better than the manufacturers. Our
trades people generally have had slow
sort Of business, as regards profits, this
year thus far, but those Of them that
have really not LOST any money have no
reason to be despondent. A man who by
close economy supports his family these
times and keeps his capital 10 business
intact is on safe ground, Let him not
borrow trouble as to the future. He and
the future will get along we'll enough TO-
gether.
Nearly all the principal cities Of the
country show falling.oti in the business
done the last six months as compared
with the corresponding months of last
year. Not, however, 40 much in the
bulk Of business as It's amount in dollars
and cents. The decline OF prices from
May LIST, 1875, to May lsL 1876, is
estimated to have been about 10 per cent.

GheGntslLiasueer

TIE President yesterday requested the
resignation Of Postmaster Jewell, and
that official promptly stepped down and
out. No reason is given save hint that
the removal was for political effect. This
we do not credit. President Grant is not
in the habit Of removing officials per-
sOnally unObjeCtionable to him for mere
political effect. II will be remembered
that Jewell was a candidate for the Cin'
cinnati nomination, and it is possible
that he or his friends may have come !"

count, This looks all the more reasonable
from the fact that Secretary bfiS'0N'
