nearly completed, of carrying it on themselves,
with the assistance of laborers and foreman.
This is what Mr. Olnsted's dismissal means and
must come to; but / doubt very much whether
the public, when it understands the matter,
will be disposed to acquiesce in it. do not
think it disrespectful to the Commissioners 10 say
that if they have any qualifications for such task
the taxpayers have yet to hear of them. They

real estate lawyer, and have DO doubt knows about
real estate, and about law; but not one of them
was selected for his place because he knew about
parks and gardens, or, indeed, because he was well
known to the public. If am not mistaken, two of
them owe their places to "reminiscences of happy

You will surely agree with me that, considering
what this city has passed through in the way of bad
management it is little bold for gentlemen tbusse

Of their own heads. So little perception of their
responsibility, too, do they seem to have, that
not one of the three has Mr.. Omsted ever been
able to induce TO 90 over the Park with him and

The changes in the Park Commissioners have
been so frequent and numerous since the beginning
of the enterprise, that Mr.. Olmsted has,
/ am told. made practice of taking
the new corners through the Park with him
for this purpose, and they have generally
felt it their duty to go; but this duty Messrs Wen
man. Conover, and Wetmore have successfully
evaded. The only explanation Of this omission |
have heard offered is Mr.. Couovei's announcement
to The H0 aid reporter Dir. Conover is the most

Egypt was the land visited by Abraham
in search of food, when there was
famine in his own Countrywide land to
which Joseph was carried as slave. and
which he governed as prime minister.
From Egypt Moses led the Israelites
through the waters of the Red Sea. Here
Jeremiah wrote his Lamentations. Here
Scion Pythagoras, Plato, and many
other Greek philosophers, came to study.
Here Alexander the Great came as con-
queror. Egypt taught the world the use
OF paper made from its rush. the papyrus.
In Egypt was made the first public libra
~ and first college Of learned men,
namely, the Alexandrian Museum. There
Euclid wrote the Elements of Geometry
and Theocritus his Poems. and Luoien
his Dialogues. The beauty of Cleopatra,
the last Egyptian Queen, held julius
Cesar, and then Marc Antony. captive.
In Egypt were built the first Monasteries,
the Christian fathers. Origen and Athan-
asian, lived there. The Arian and Athan-
asian controversy began there. The
buildings which now remain are the
Oldest and the largest in the world.
On the bank of its great river may be

seen almost all its great cities and tenn

County Platform.

Resolved, That this Convention heartily en-
dorse the Platform and Resolutions adopted by
the Republican State Convention, September
10th, 1878.
Resolved, That we require pledge from our
nominees for the Senate and Assembly, that
they will oppose any repeal or modification of
the bullion tax; that we recognize as an un-
alterable principle of the Republican party that
provision in our Constitution, which declares
that all taxation shall be equal. and uniform;
that, therefore. we depreciate most emphatically
any and every discrimination in favor OF cap
itsl or class. or any measure Of legislation tend
ing to affect or disturb this principle.
Resolved, That the Republican party is OPP
posed to any and every discrimination in freight
or fare, by any and every railroad, corporation
or company. and that our Legislative nominees
are required to pledge themselves to use their
most strenuous efforts, to secure or promote
such legislation as will compel those companies
to remove the unjust grievance, which has for
the past operated so injuriously and adversely
to the best industries, and industrial progress
OF this State.
Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed
to the diversion OF any moneys raised BY the
taxation OF the whole people to the use or bene-
fit Of any sect or religious denomination.
Resolved, That the General Government
should immediately take such steps as to abso-
lately prevent or stop the further immigration
of Asiatica to our country; and that such just

those already among us to quit our shores at
the earliest practical moment.
