The New York Republican CoIlven-
ton met at Rochester, Wednesday.
Mr.. T. C. Platt was temporary chair
man. Senator ConkIing was selected
for permanent President, but declined
in favor Of Mr.. Plat, who was on SEN
ator Conkling's motion made perma-
nent President. The Committee on
Platform, Of which Senator Conkling
was chairman, unanimously reported.
The platform favors a sound currency
of coin and paper convertible into
coin, and resumption at the period now
fixed by law. It also contains an elab-
crate argument against the doctrine
that national oficer-holders are to be
prohibited from taking part in politics
George William Curtis moved to
strike out the part Of the platform re
ferring to civil service reform, and in
sert an amendment commencing the
President. Senator COnkling opposed
the amendment, and after a long and
animated debate the amendment was
lost, 1O9 to 295. The platform was
then adopted without division, and
the Convention adjourned till this
morning.

WAsmxeroE, D. O., Sept. 2sth, 1877.
AS the trip Of Mr.. Hayes and his
friends draws to a close, it is proper to
note the unvarying enthusiasm with
which they have been everywhere re-
ceived. From Louisville to Lynch
burg, in every place SO far visited, the
people have turned out in large num-
bers and, speaking through their best
men, have heartily welcomed their
benefactor. Indeed, so warm and so
general has been the reception given
him that even the most infatuated
HAYES man" will know better than to
ascribe any political significance to it.
A dozen or 50 of wild Indians ar
rived here lately. They come to treat
with the Government. I don't know
what a wild Indian on the plains or in
the mountains with his war paint on,
may be like, any more than General
Howard does, but these now here are
as dirty and low lot Of creatures, I
should think, as the sun shines on
Some Of them make treaties by day,
and turn a civilized penny by night at
a variety theatre, exhibiting them
selves. It is found to suit the taste Of
q large class to look upon the possible
murderers of Candy, Custer, and the
hundreds of other soldiers who have
been killed in the last few years, and
the show prospers.
Damage was yesterday done to the
Patent Office building to the amount
Of about 100000 by fire. The lower
stories Of the building were fre-proof

Fortunately the Land Records, most
of the Patent Records and many
models Of inventions, were in the un,
burned portion Of the building. The
Indian Bureau also located here, saved
its papers. The worst result Of tht
fire will probably be interminable liti
cation growing out Of the loss 0
models. In many cases they canno
be accurately reproduced, and th,
, future Senator Conkling, who gets
large fee for arguing that particula

this greater confagration renewed an

The Patent Office at Washington

done in that part Of the building re-

believed that at least 10000 models Of
patents we're burned. Such relics as
the original draft Of the Declaration
Of Independence, Gen. Washington's

saved. The damage to the building

RUSSIA AHD TURKEY.-The recent
and several defeats Of Russian troops
by the Turks are quite notable in view
Of the supposed superiority in Russian
resources Of all kinds. There is quite
Al anomaly between the boasts and the
achievements Of the Muscoyites, while
the Turks. without any boasts, have
accomplished pronounced success and
are for the present masters Of the sit
nation. It is true that the Turks
have great advantage in a geograph-
ical view, while the Russians are at
reciprocal disadvantage; but even this
status does not satisfactorily account
for the preponderance Of success to
Turkish arms. While the Turks, with
inferior resources Of all kinds, have
been using the best modern appliances
of arms and officers, the Russians are
notably deficient in both these inn
portant matters. Their generals are
comparatively ignorant, their army
organization is singularly imperfect,
their arms, artillery and means q
transportation Of supplies are crude
and inferior. and in the matter of com
mand Of troops there is utter reckless.

have ascendancy over military ability

much to DO with the recent disasters

refrain from exposing what he cannot
conceal if he speaks.
General McClellan's return to poll

Al TREMENDOUS SwINDLE-Phila-

he announcement that John S. Nor
ton. President of the Market street
passenger railway company, with sew
eral Of his under officers, had commit
ted a gigantic swindle upon the stock
holders Of the company by the fraud
ulent issue Of surplus stock. Investi-
cations were Immediately made result
inc in the discovery that II, 900 shares
had been thus fraudulently issued,
over and above the legal capital Of the
company, amounting, at the present
value. of the stock, to the enormous
sum Of 81, 100000. The announce
ment created great sensation. Mr.
Morton had always occupied high
place in the estimation Of the people
and was looked upon as a strictly
honest and honorable man. He was
President Of the Permanent Exhibition
Association, and held other high posi-.
ti0ns Of trust.
On Wednesday Of this week, Mr.
Morton, Samuel P. HUM, late secre-
tary, Benjamin F. Stokes and George
Vickers, under officers, we're arrested
On the charge Of conspiring to deffaud
the company by the issue Of fraudulent

TIE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

"There is a good time coming is an
old promise 50 oft repeated that it is
almost threadbare and its verifcation
has been so frequently postponed that
people generally despair of ever seeing
its ful6lment. We would moi. like to
undertake to say that good times or
even better times, have actually ar
rived, or are about to come. Yet the
business outlook on every hand il de-
cidedly better, and there are abundant
indications Of a revival in trade, and
of a healthier tone in the industrial
/. interests Of the country. In the large
cities business has perceptibly picked
up, and business men of every class,
but particularly the merchants, are
up to their eyes in work. The coun-
try merchants are pouring into the
cities for their fall goods, and the
wholesale merchants and jobbers are
as busy as bees night and day, while
the retail stores are daily filed with
ladies engaged in their favorite pas
time of shopping In the country
the time for the fall trade has hardly
arrived being delayed by the warm
weather, which causes people to defer
tha n11rehase Of their winter sl1nnlies
but the healthy condition Of things in
the cities viii soon reach the towns
and we may confidently look for a bet
ter and more lively season than We
have had for several years.
In speaking of the business outlook
in that city the New York Worlc
says Among the merchants anc
jobbers Of the city the universal opin
ion was found to be that trade ha,
shown an unmistakable movement
and that business was more brisk thar
had been the case at this time Of tn,
year for several years past. Some re
serve was exhibited in speaking on til,
topic, and the Improvement was rathe
understated than exaggerated, " andth
