THE NEW YORK CONyENrION

The Republican State convention
met at Rochester, New York, on
Wednesday, and the day was devoted
to speech and platform making, The
convention was controlled by Senator
Conkling, and to give our readers a
correct idea of what was done we
quote from the editorial comments OF
New York journals.
The Tribune says: "Conkllng has
answered the question which every
body began to ask as soon as 1t APP
pesred that he owned the convention.
He has made of the gathering a dem
onstration against the President, not
only hostile, but contemptuous. Not
a minute was lost in formal civilities.
The attack began with fierce speech
and lasted all day. 1t was agra
waited in every possible manner by
rancor and studied insults, made so
malignant that no friend Of the ad-
ministration could avoid resenting
them; made with vast parade and
trumpeting, as if the universe was
invited to come and see how Re
publican convention could hate Re-
publican President.
The Times Says There was deal
too much of Senator Conkli1g at
Rochester yesterday, and goes on to
denouuce him. 1.-THE platform, and
even the convention itself, are re-
markable. Thus the Republican cam
paign, begun under such auspices is
bereft in advance of its most effec-
tive weapons, and is brought down to
down to the level OF the knaves and
schemers who head the Democratic
cohorts of ignorance, superstition
aud vice."
The Commercial! Advertiser says:
"We are sorry to say that Senator
Conkling has not exercised the power
and influence given to him by the
Republicans of the State with that
wisdom, which the party had right
to expect from the foremost states
man of the Union. In the judgment
of some of his best friends he has
made great mistake"
After til. reading of the platform
George William Curtis, editor of
Harper's Weekly, offered substitute
for one of the resolutions, affirming
the title of R. B. Hayes to the Presi-
dency to be clear and perfect, in
dorsing his Southern policy, and ia
voring civil service reform, which he
advocated in speech of considera-
BILE length. The reply to Curtis re-
marks is not telegraphed, out the
Express says of Conkling's speech !;
"All the cowardly epithets he could
think of we're spit out at Curtis head
for daring to defend the President
and his administration, AMI his
speech was a downright declaration
of defiance"
At the evening session the Conk-
ling platform was adopted, without
taking vote on Curtis amendment.
On Resembling Thursday the con-
ventlon made the following nomina-
tions: For Secretary of State, John
C. Churchill; Controller, Francis Syl'
vester; Treasurer, VIM. l.. Bostwick
Attorney General, Greenvi'le Ire
maine; State Engineer, Howard
Soule.

Russia,s Christian Motive.

Berlin, May st is stated that
Gortschakoff has instructed Russian
representatives, in communicating his
circulars to the powers, to declare that
Russia's only object is to compel Tur-
key to accept the measures necessary to
insure internal peace; that such meas
ures are to be determined at the proper
moment, not by Russia but by concert
ed action of the powers. In this mat
ter the Gar will limit himself to insur-
ing the reforms agreed upon between
the powers. Count Schwouvoloff was
especially instructed to declare to Great
Baitain that Russia entertains no plan
not intended exclusively for the i'm
provement of the condition of eastern
Christians.

London, May 5.-The Times says
Gladstone's resolutions threaten to do
something worse than throw the Liber-
al party into commissions. In ordinary
times the breaking of party bonds
might doubtless be borne with serenity;
but these are not ordinary times. The
government must oon come to de-
cisions of incalculable Importance, and
make peace secure, or cease counting
IN that slippery incline of menace
which too often ends i'll war. Bitter
personal animosities are enlisted in ia
vor of a course which would bring dis
aster and crime. Political rivalries are
aiding reckless advisers, and it may be
that the d~issensions of Parliament are
not entirely absent from ministerial
councils, although the good sense of
the public will, we believe, defeat the
promptings of passion. 1t certainly
cannot afford to lose the parliamentary
influence which has been most power
fully eXerted OF the side of peace; yet,
by destroying the effective force of the
Liberal party at this critical moment,
Gladstone has put his great authority
at the command of leaders in the pas
sions of war. The Liberal party is
split into factions, some of which will
vote for Gladstone's resolutions and
others for the previous question. The
split may easily grow wide, n section
becoming more and more ready to COM
bat against Turkish misrule, while an
other may drift toward those Conserva-
tives who are in the hands of the gov
eminent. The immediate effect of
this disunion must not be only to give
the ministry q great majority-which is

Pinney Puts in an Appearance

San Francisco, May George NJ.
Pinney surrendered himself to the au-
thorities to-day, and was held in bail
in the sun of $4,000, to answer to
two charges of forgery of government
certificates of Indebtedness. Pinney is
very %reticent, and declines to be inter-
viewed, but District Attorney Murphy
and Capt. Lees detective state that he
arrived in Oakland a week ago yester-
day, coming from Montreal. AS to
the object of his return, it is admitted
he comes by the intercessiOn of prom
inent bankers and capitalists of this
city, who hold certificates of purchase
bearing the alleged signature of Pay
Inspector Spalding, and the intimation
is given that contractors, political as
%sociates, etc., had no connection with
the negotiations for his return.
Pinney avers that he was directed to
issue the certificates produced in evil
dence at the trial of Spalding before
the naval court-martial. So far as the
certificates which he (Pinney) hypo-
thecated are concerned, he says he left
money for their redemption, and the
trial will show in whose hands the
money to take them up was placed.
This is one point he is anxious to es-
tablish. He wants the public to know
the facts, and wants the bankers to get
their money. Capt. Lee says Pinney
took away with him about ten Thousand
dollars. s2EEy
Pinney says that all stories to the
effect that he has returned with the
purpose of getting ever on his enemies
and stirring up a terrible tempest in
political circles, is all nonsense. He
has a story to tell, but declines to make
it public until called upon to give his
testimony in court. 1t is also stated
that he has entered into no negotiation
with the United States except so far as
to obtain assurances that the charge
of desertion should be dropped, which,
he claims, is his only offense against
the government. ir.
United States District Attorney
Coghlan says he has received no in
structions to proceed against Pinney,
and is cognizant of no negotiations be-
tween the government and Pinney for
the suppression of suits. 1t is under
stood, however, that the government
has given Pinney of protec-
ton, provided he became a states wit
ness in the suits for the recovery of the
amounts loaned on certificates. He
knows who got the money, and can
render valuable aid in recovering it.

England Agitated.

London, May 5.-Thomas Carlyle,
on the Eastern question, says the rumor
prevails that Disraeli, despite the
Queens neutrality proclamation, in
tends to send the English fleet to the
Baltic, or do some other feat which
shall compel Russia to declare wal
against England. Latterly the rumor
has shifted from the Baltic, and be-
comes still more sinister on the Eastern
side of the scene, where a feat is con-
templated that will force not only Rus
STA but all of Europe to declare wal
against us. This latter, he says, he
has come to know as an indisputable
fact. Carlyle protests against newspaper
cutlery.
