The Original Garfield Men.
IChicaoO Tribune. June 9.


The magnificent total of 399 which nomi-
mated Gen.. Garfield Oh the thirty y-sixth ballot
grew from single modest vote which was
given him on the second round Tuesday
morning. That one vote grew on the sixth
ballot to two. On the thirty-fourth it grew
to seventeen, on the thirty-tifth to fifty, and
on the thirty ty-sixth and last to the total
which told the final story and made the gal
liant soldier from Ohio the Republican can
didate for President of the United States.
That one vote was about as small political
acorn as ever ripened into an overtopplng
oak.
The man who cast it was
Mr.. ". A. Ii. GRIER, OF HAZELTON, Pa,
one of the two delegates from the Eleventh
Congressional district. He was the lion OF

came evident in the grand victory, and was
congratulated on every hand as

of his experiences in going it alone for so

were, when he was afterwards joined by an

N. Taylor, of Bristol, Pa.

The failure to nominate General Grant is
also to be regretted, because it has lessened
the chance of success at the polls. Wehave
an abiding faith in the success and perpetua-
tion of Republican principles, but we believe
that success could have been made more Ger
tain and that perpetuation more assured by
the nomination OF General Grant. We can
not now hope to obtain single Southern
electoral vote. Our only hope is in solid
North. This We believe possible, and even
probable, but its attainment will require the
most Jealous efforts and systematic work.

The Postal Card.

The postal card is little over six years
old in this country, yet it is doing as we'll as
could be expected for its age. It has only
two enem1es-the man who receives duns on
it and the manufacturers of writing paper.
The little postal causes a decrease of from
$12,O0O,OO0 to $15 100000 every year in the
business of writing paper trades in this
country. Postal cards are made at Holy
oke, and forty men are continuously en-
ployed at their manufacture. The cardboard
is furnished in packages of 5000
each, and every sheet is made into
forty postals. Three persons are kept going
night and day. A machine slits the sheet
into strips of ten cards each, and these in
turn are cut into single cards and dumped
into piles of twenty-five cards each, when
they are packed by girls in pasteboard boxes
containing 500 cards. A government officer
is constantly on hand to see that 10 pilfering
of cards is done. The Holyoke (Mass.)
mandatory now turns out about million
of cards day. Last year there were used
in this country 246,063,060 cards. OF the
new international card introduced few
weeks since there have been 100000 used
already. The government keeps on hand
$4,000, 600 of the postal cards.

THE FIRST STEP.

The manifesto of the San Francisco
committee Of safety is supplemented
by the arrest, for melting to riot, Of
the boss hoodlum, Denis Keagney.
The police who made the arrest, and
perhaps the city judges before whom

under the control of Kearnev and
bis baser tool, Mayor Kall)ch; bat
the fellow will probably be prosecuted
with vigor, and the courts, IN view OF
the action recently taken by the law
abing people, viii hardly dare stretch
the Law very much in order to favor
the accused. However the action
may result, the arrest is q good
sign, ard cannot fail to have a
beneficial efscl. Il shows that
the determination to put & stop to the
destructive agitation that hes been
going On 50 long, is earnest, aud not
mere IDLE talk. There Is 10 danger

pale Of law. He has done all ttat he
could do to abolish law, overthrow
the rules that govern society, and
reducs civil government to chaos,
hence he can expect only tina: treat
ment that society gives to lis enc

which the court below overruled. on
the ground that the officer took no
part in the deliberations, and did not
even converse with the jurors. The
count held tia! his mere presence
could not affect the action of the jury.
An appeal was taken 10 the supreme
court, which has roW overTuled the
decision, and held that the mere
presence of any person, when q jury

lewiol, because such presence operates
as a restraint upon the freedom of ac-

court says that the sole object OF the

also amended so as to provide that

Withdrawn from disposal around the
site of each of these wells, until

amendments were sgreed upon be-
