THE Chicago Tribune now proposes TO
carry the rebellion into the Chicago con-
vention and either rule or ruin. Unless we
are mistaken, that convention will be COM
posed of far different material than the
Tribune develops in this controversy, and
it will never succeed in transferring it's
methods into the action of that body
Illinois will cast her forty-two votes solid
for U. S. GRANT, and that will be in accord
with the sentiment of the state The ma
tional convention will be n loyal body
that is, loyal to the principles and interests
of the republican palty-and it will not
allow itself to be inveigled into any equiv
ocal or unjust attitude toward the best good
of the party which it represents The dis
turbing elements of Illinois will be held
outside the convention TO vent their rebel
lious spirit upon the street corners and in
the hotel corridors, instead of poisoning
that body with their deleterious influence
This is the hope and expectation of the
true and loyal men of the republican
party.

THE rumor of Sunday last in relation to
the loss of the steamer Lady Of the Lake
whilst on her way from Norfolk TO this
city was cruel hoax, and the perpetrators
deserve condign punishment The agony
of those who had friends on board was ter
rble, and there is no excuse for the out
rageous lie. No matter who did it, punish
ment should be meted out to the guilty.

A LATE number of the ArgOndut, the spi-
ciest paper on the Pacific coast, contains an
article entitled "Another Phase of the Chi
"nese Question: The editor commends the
communication to his readers for its " cold
"blooded, inexorable logic" and as an arti-
Gle entitled to consideration from those who
reflect. We have read it., also reflected on
it, and cannot see that it is such very
strong meat for the strong minded" The
writer, who very properly styles himself
NATHAN, the Z .senian, enumerates the OBJ
iections urged by the majority of Californi-
ans against the immigration of the Chinese; (;
tat they are pagnns whom it is impossible
to christianize except in name foreigners
who do not wish to be naturalized and
workers 30 intelligent, skillful and industri-
Gus that our ordinary laborer, with his idle
ness, incapacity and shiftlessness, cannot
compete with them. The mediocre Califor-
MIA mind thinks it sees a remedy for what
appears to it an appalling evil, in an abro-
CATION of existing treaties, and policy of
exclusion. But the writer in the ArgOndm
SAYS this is a narrow, short-sighted view of
great subject; that there can be nothing
permanent in such a policy, because capital
is bound to have efficient, cheap, "non-strik-
cling" labor, therefore will not long see the
Chinese excluded; while the Chinese them
selves will not relnquish these pastures
new for any considerable period of time.
So "NATHAN" suggests his remedy,
namely, communism. In effect, he says,
let the Chinese come, let every Chinese
GREELEY say to his young readers, "Go east,
"young mani" let them embark from China
by the million on new sort of fat boat
which one of NATHAN's friends is about
to invent, land upon our coasts and spread
themselves broadcast over the land, then
"overthrow the idea of private property
rights and the curse of government over
the people and institute the communal
title to all property" Thus the "only effect
"of Chinese cheap labor would be to in,
"crease the common stock, to add to the
general prosperity, to help save the people,
1t is the old story repeated, the old
chimera which has inAamed the imagina
tions of some ever since one man owned
any property and another did not. The
first record we have of it is in ancien
Greece, centuries before the christian era, an(
it has since been tried so often and failed 81
lamentably that it seems odd to have it pu
forward now as practical solution of til,
Chinese problem in this country,

IF we are to trust the New York Tribune,
the only hope the enemies of General
GRANT have of defeating his nomination is
through violation of good faith, the seduc.
tion or purchase of delegates from the south
who have been elected under the promise
of supporting GRANT, and could not other
wise have been elected systematic
of Misrepresentation, and all the agencies
that corruption can invent These are the
only inlerences that can be drawn from
the T'riJune's confident claim of success in
view of the legitimate condition of the case
The convention may be captured by de-
bauching the party, but in no other way
and victory secured by such agencies will
be barren.

A PREPARED table of the
preferences of elected delegates to the Chi
cago convention appears in the New York
Times of yesterday. We think it one to be
relied upon, rs not claiming in any state
more strength for General GRANT than the
facts warrant. The totals of the Time
stand as follows GRANT, 364; SHERMAN
81 BLAINE, 2O9; EDMUNDs, 81; WASH
BURHE, 4; WINDOW, 10; doubtful, "a
Grand total, 732 delegates elected. The
votes of Louisiana, Colorado and Idaho are
not included. The Times does not give any
votes to GRANT in Indiana, and only in
Georgia. We should add 8 in Indiana and
more in G eorgia to the GRANT column
In the Times table the doubtful votes are
13 in Wisconsin, 2 in Texas, 2 in Missis.

2 in Connecticut. OF these 81 doubtful

THE Philadelphia Press has worked up

THE World of yesterday publishes, "The
"story of Oregon rs the democrats will
shave to deal with it in $780," and accom-
panies it with an explanatory editorial to
the effect that they will be obliged to meet
this story only in case TILDEN is the nom
inee of the Cincinnati convention. 1t AYERS
that TILDEN stands alone, absolutely alone,
among democratic statesmen as subject TO
assaults such MS can be made in connection
with the Oregon case. This is none Of our
funeral, but we feel that the World is doing
great injustice to Mr.. TILDEN in declaring
that he stands alone. What democratic
statesman protested against the discomfort
of receiving the CRoNIN vote? Who among
them denounced it as Il fraud while it was
likely to inure to the benefit of their party ?
Which fthem rose in his place in congress
and exposed the baseness of the attempt, OF

taking the vote so purchased? Who among
