Cincinnati Commercial.I
The one absorbing topic of conversation
hes been the action of the Pennsy lvania
Republican State convention of yesterday in
determining to send pledged delegation to
the national convention in the interests oil
Grant.
1t required some waiting to gain &C
cess TO the governor, 80 many were the cal
lers during the day, and his ability 10 give
audience to go many as he does daily. marks
him, as he is SO marked by many othe,
things, as being en- extraordinary maa. He
gave ready ear to the inquiry of the Com,
mercial, and like ready reply. He was first
asked:
"What do you think of the action Of The
Pennsylvania convention, and how will il
affect Grants chances?"
81 deem it great mistake upon the part
of Grants friends. It does not do to force
such matters. 1t is perfectly clear to my
mind that the large majority of the masses
of the people in the State do not favor the
nomination of Gen. Grant. His friends de-
pended very largely for their success upon
delphia and Pittsburgh, and delegations of
that kind are generally very easily controlled
in conventions by those having them in
charge. Yes, it is perfectly clear to my mind
that Grants friends are in the minority in
Pennsylvania
"But, Governor, do you suppose Grant
knew that this was to be done, and he is
really candidate for the nomination."
"There is not bit of doubt about his
having been candidate all along!'
"Do you think, Governor, that this action
is to be construed into boom for Blaine, as
has been done by others?"
"In answer to that, would say that it is
probable that tie feeling of sntagonism en-
gendered by this forcing of matters is likely
to make votes for Sherman and Blaine. 1t
is apt to draw closer together the friends of
the other candidates in other States, where
they have the majority. The minority 81
ways has right to be heard, and generally
will be-
Chow will it affect Grants chances in New
York, governor?'
at is very probable that the convention
there will be manipulated for Grant, Just as
it was in Pennsylvania"
"Well, in that event, and with Illinois, do
you think he can pick up enough Southern
delegations to give him the nomination."
at is possible. but hardly probable. As
have said before, it is clear to me that the
majority of the Republicans in Pennsylvania
and the nation do not want to see Gen. Grant
receive third nomination."

THE NORTH CAROLINA EXODUS

The Senatorial inquiry into the causes of
the colored immigration into Indiana has
developed all that was expected of it, and the
scheme proves to be purely political one,
organized and carried out in the hope that
the political complexion of the State will be
changed at the ensuing Presidential election.
The Republican witnesses examined do not
hesitate to admit its purpose, and with the
air of Boss Tweed ask "What are you going
to do about it?" They admit having distrib-
uted the negroes among the doubtful dis
tricts of the State; to having drilled them in
the duties they we're expected to perform,
and to having contributed literally towards
their support. They admit, also, that there
is no demand for their labor, as thousands
Of white men are out of employment, yet
they still continue to encourage them to
change their place of abode, and seem de-
termined to keep it up until they succeed in
accomplishing what they set out to do.
We do not know that there is any means
by which the present exodus can be stopped
or its pr n,otera punished. 1t if an evil
that will probably cure itself. A few of the
negroes who have reached the Hoosisr State
have improved their condition, but large
majority have been reduced from a position
of practical independence to one Of absolute
want. 1t is probable, as consequence, that
when spring opens counter movement will
set in, and that the bulk of those who have
entered the State in the last six months will
either return to their old homes or move
farther on-probably to Kansas. The
developments made, too, will probably ooun-
teraot the purpose sought to be accomplished,
for working men, whether Republicans or
Democrats, do not relish compe-
tition such as they are subjected
to by the introduction Of the
negroes among them. Indeed, some of the
more candid of the Republican witnesses e1-
amined have acknowledged that they have
overshot The mark, and that for every Re-
publican voter imported three Democratic
voters have been made from the ranks of
the opposition. There has been feeling of
bitterness engendered that promises to make
Indiana more reliably Democratic than ever
before.
1t is unfortunate that in Indiana the pro-
visions of the constitution as to the qualif-
cations for voters are 80 lax. No definite
term of residence is required, and man
who arrives in the State to-day can vote to-
morrow. This encourages colonization-in-
deed places premium upon it. An amend
ment to the constitution remedying this de-
feet is now pending, but can be of no effect
at the ensuing election, and all the voting
cattle which the Republicans may choose to
drive to the polls will be allowed voice in
choosing the next President. We can only
hope for the best results, however, and ex-
pect that the developments made by Senator
Voorhees, committee will create q revolution
Of public sentiment in the right direction.

The board of public works, ali the mem
bers present, met in regular session yester-
day morning, and besides transacting the
following business, entertained, or were en-
tertained by large concourse of citizens.
TORRENT STREET.
In order, the board took up the matter OF
sundry objections to to the assessment fol
grading L'Orient street from Glencoe to
Pennsylvania avenue.
The board had declared an assessment of
800 per foot for property facing on the
street, and SO per foot for sundry lots on
Pennsylvania avenue, Mississippi street and
contiguous thoroughfares, claiming that all
property in this vicinity was benefited, as
the grading would fill up o pond lying on
Torrent street between Glencoe street and
Pennsylvania avenue which had been declared
a nuisance by the board of health.
The property owners off Torrent street
raised objection, the general ground taken
being that they were not benefited, and
should not be assessed. Written protests from
Florence Driscoll, G.. II. and Clara W.
Taensing, Jacob Sommers and dozen others
were read, which we're followed by personal
protest from Hezekiah Hall, who took occa-
sion to go for the board, and was called to
order by President Becker, who charged him
to be less violent in his language, to be
more decorous. Mr.. Hall submitted accord.
ingly, and closed with the declaration that
he couldn't see the justice of the assessment
as proposed. Remarks were made by others
who confined themselves to representing that
they were not benefited by the proposed i'm.
provement which alone was on L'Orient
street and Immediately of benefit there.
The discussion being closed, the board
concluded to postpone the matter to enable
a personal examination of the ground, and q
further consideration of the protests.
After disposing of the above business, the
board proceeded to the consideration of Other
matters, and without interruption disposed
of the following:
The completion of the assessment for
grading of Western avenue from Dayton to
Como avenue was postponed for a week.
The assessment for opening "the Mer-
chants alley' was completed, and tho score,
tary directed to give confirmation notice. In
completing the assessment Nichols & Dean
were assessed one-quarter of what the others
were, and the other property holders had theil
former or original assessments reduced pro
portionately, as Dean & Nichols were moi
included in the first assessments.

lieve that the party will win, no matter who
is nominated, and they want that man NOM
mated who will give them the greatest oppor-
tlpity of benefi!ipg themselves at the e1-
pense of the country, and they will for this
reason support Grant with all their power.
WHAT WE DEMOCRATS FEAR
is that such fight may get up between the
present prominent Republican candidates
that they will all be dropped and some such
man as Elihu Washburne be taken up. He
would be the strongest candidate that they
could nominate, as he would be more likely
to unite all the elements of the party than
any other. The Germans would support him
on account of his conduct during the Fran
CO. Prussian war, while ambassador to France,
while be would also be looked upon with
friendship by the Catholics on account of
his efforts to save the life of the archbishop
of Paris, and the priests who were put to
death by the communist government. But
l think it altogether likely that Grant will
receive the republican nomination, az the
fact that he is able to carry the delegations
from New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois
will have q controlling influence upon the
seekers for federal patronage in the other
States.
"If Grant is nominated will he be able to
carry Wisconsin,
"No. If he is nominated Wisconsin may
be looked upon ss certain for the democratic
nominee, as we will have no difficulty LII
carrying it. The Germans say they will not
support Grant, and when they say that they
will act in any particular manner it is next
to impossible to change Ihem."
