An Insult to tine Jews,

Ihe New YORK "Times' says:
Mr.. Austin Corbin, President of tn,
Manhattan Beach Railway company
says that Jews, as a class, have mad,
themselves offensive to those who pat
ronize his road and hotel on Coney
Island; that they are vulgar ana un-
clean; that they find fault and spend
no money, and that he will leave
nothing undone to got rid OF them, in
order to save his business from ruin.
He publicly announces that he prefers
not to have their cnstom.
No formal action in relation to this
matter has been taken by the directors
OF the company, but he says that they
do not oppose his views. Interviews
with some ofthe directors show that the
subject has not been brought before
any meeting of the board, but one di.
rector says that many of the stockhold.
ers agree with Mr.. Corbin in his view
on the subject, although few would
care to express their opinion SO boldly.
Mr.. Corbin's public expression of his
preference has caused considerable ex-
citement and indignation among the
Jews of this city.
Prominent Jews, while iisinclined to
discuss the matter, because they fear,
they say, that by discussion it will gain
a dignity it does not merit, condemn
Mr.. Corbin's action most heartily as an
insult given in most aggravating man.

that Mr.. Corbin has insulted not the

posed to intolerance.
The Jews are defended by their rep.
'esentatives as modest, retiring and
we'll behaved. They generally admit
hat their best course is to treat Mr..
Jorbin and his views with silent con-
empt, and keep away from his road and

met In State Convention at Harrisburg

Butler, of Chester, for state Treasurer.
tialusha A. Grow, who was made presi-
dent Of the Convention, made speech
on the issues OF the day, which was
enthusiastically applauded. In the
Committee on Resolutions, q delegate
proposed that the Convention nominate
General Grant for the Presidency.
| After much debate, the COMMITTEES
concluded that it would be unwise to
take any action at this time. The plat
form adopted by the Convention de.
clared against any change in the pre-.
sent financial system Of the country,
and reiterated. strongly the principles Of
the Republican party on the issues
raised in Congress. 1t also advocated
protection to nome industry. The con
vention was marked by unity and good
feeling.
The Republicans of Wisconsin held
a State Convention yesterday, at Madi
son, and renominated Governor Smith
on the first ballot. All the other State
officers were renominated by acclama
ton. A platform was adopted which
declared in the clearest language for
free and fair elections and the exclusion
of troops from the polls except to pre-
serve the peace, and expressed the con
viction that the Democratic policy is
designed to open the way for fraud and
violence.
The platform also declared for hard
money. Yesterday being the twenty
fifth anniversary Of the formation of the
Republican party of Wisconsin, two
large meetings were held at which
speeches were made by the officers of
the Convention Of 1854, by Senator
Mr.. Garfield and others.
