people, and war has been rare episode
in our National history. 1t is gratifying thaC
among the many monuments which adOrn the
Capital City, there is, at last, to be one erected
in memory of a man whose pursuits were
peaceful. and whose victories were won upon
the bloodess fields of science. We refer to the
statue of Professor Joseph Henry, for which
Congress- has lust voted $4,000. The work
is assigned to the competent hands or MT W.
w. Story, and the statue will be appropriately
placed in the grounds of the Smithsonian In
stitutiOn.
A letter from our Washington correspondent
shows that in the organization of the Chicago
Convention, the framing of its rules and the
disposition of contests the Third-Termers will
exercise no power at all-the temporary chair
man will be selected by the Ma
tional Committee, a majority of whose
members are opposed to Grant. The
Committees on Permanent Organization,
Rules and Credentials will be made up
by the several State and Territorial delega-
tiOns, each naming one member. The anti
Grant men have a majority in 81 of these
delegations, while the Grant men have only
TO- the remaining 6 being equally divided
Controlling, as they inevitably will, the action
of these committees, the anti-Grant men will
provide the Convention with a permanent
chairman, report q rule giving to each dele
gate the right to his individual vote, and
determine the Illinois contests in favor OF
the delegates representing the people, and
against those representing General Logan's
machine. Thus, on every important question
the Grant men will have the organization OPP
posed to them, and will be forced to make
fight against the reports of the regular COM
mlttees. These are stubborn facts, which are
not to be got rid of by loud bOasting OF tic-
titious strength.

If thorough investigation of the city chart
table institutions can be made by the State
Board of Charities, as contemplated IN Mr..
Vanum's resolution, 1t will result in one of
two things, either some institutions will be dis
covered which ore unworthy of receiving fur
Their aid from the city funds, or, none such be-
ing found, the current suspicion In the public
mind will be removed. The investigation is q
good thing to have, whichever way it may turn
out.

The talk about Senator CamerOn's success in
his late efforts at sOlidifyinR the Pennsylvania
delegation turns out to be talk, and nothing
more. Our correspondent in Philadelphia tele-
graphs that Cameron has accomplished moth
ing, and that the anti-third-term delegates are
urwavering in their determination not to vote
for Grant. Sanguine third .termers would
save themselves much disappointment If they
would consult THE TRIBUxEs estimate of the
first ballot at Chicago, and pay no attention to
such stories as that recently set aflOat concern
ing the Pennsylvania delegation. Our estimate
Of tho vote Of that delegation is, Grant, 80 /;
Blaine, 10; and il there should be occasion for
revising it the change Is not likely to be in
favor of Grant.

A feroclous onslaught on Nephew PeltOn appears
in The World newspaper. PeltOn is not Reform

Brother Henry. Besides PeltOn confessed to all the
nanghtincss he was up to in 1876, was elected

earned peace If not forgiveness
Tho Republican press of the country is against
third term by an overwhelming majority. With
the exception of The Boston Adrertiser, there is
scarcely morning journal Of eminence in the party
which favors tho denomination OF General Grant.
The advertiser is also almost alone in the arduOus
business OF defending Logans work in Illinois, but
il makes up in zeal what it lacks i'll sympathy, for
il has the assurance to say that Ill the Springfield

consideration and fairness as to take away any

The third termers are distressed with an idea
that The TRIBUNE is whistling to keep its courage
up Not bit Of it. The TRIBUNE isn't thinking
half so much about itself rs it is about the Repub-
lican party. That organization has lived too long,
and been of too much service to the country, to
allow itself to be forced into the commission of o
bunder for the sole benefit of the Democratic party.
AS for THE TRIBUNE, 1t generally eOntriyes to take
care Of ITSELF and is used beside, to having Its per-
verse opponents appealing to las the present
have done very Oftenl, to help them up out of the
swamp.
1t is admitted by the Grant journals In this State
that nine members Of the New-YOrS delegation
will vote against third term at Chicago That
shows that The TRIBUNE's claim Of fifteen is not
far from the truth.
The Illinois Convention will not start stampede
to the thrd-term camp. So much is evident now.
1t Is good deal moro likely to start one in the
opposite direction.
Senator Logan's refusal last week, to let all tho
Districts Of the minority to select their own dele

At each poll tho managers, after they had ascer-
tanned the amount OF the excess proceeded to draw
from the ballot-bON and destroy II number Of bal
lots equal to the excess, 80 as to make the number
of ballots correspond with the number Of voters.
In this way 8,i7I ballots were drawn out aud de-
strOyCd, OF which 23l7 were republican and llG0
democratic. by this process the democrats gained
2,3l7 votes and the republicans lost like number
No loss was occasionCd 10 the democrats by the
drawing out of ,lG0 democratic tickets. because
these were only aportiOn-Onc-third-Of the ballots
they had stuffed into the ballOt-boXes. while the
23l7 republican tickets drawn out and destroyed
were the ballots of 2,3l7 voters The number OF re-
publican ballots drawn out and destroyed would
have been much larger but for the fact that at
several polls the excess greater than the whole
number ofrcpublic0u ballots In the box, and CON
sequcnlly the managers were forced to draw out
democratic ballots after most of the republican
ballots had been destroyed. such was the case at
the Hope Cnglnchouse, ward 4, where the number
Of republican tickets in the box was only 5g7
while the excess of ballots over voters was OIL.
After drawing out and destroying 594 republican
ballots, tie managers, seeing that there were only
five republican tickets LETT, were compelled to
draw the remainder of the excess, 47O, from the
democratic tickets, which had been stuffed into the
box.

THE TOWPATH CLUB,
An Interesting Discussion Regarding the
Coming Inaugural Ceremonies.

At the meeting OF the Towpath club last night
Captain Barber read communication from the
executive committee In charge Of the Inauguration
ceremonies inviting tho club to send two repre-
scntatycs TO corporate with said committee.
This communication started as lively commoton
as has ever been witnessed OH board the Evening
star" Captains Clerk Barton offered resolution
that the preliminary and final arrangements for
the Inauguration Of President Garfield should be
non.pGrtisan in every respect and that the com
nisslomers Of the District be requested to call
committee Of citizens, irrespective Of politics,
to make the necessary arrangements. This gave
rise to a most lively discussion IN which the "in-
auguul executive committee" wus styled self
constituted ommttce and most severely criticized
Some sharp words were spoken also about the
political leaning Of the commissioners.
Dcck-haud ClCphGne remarked that the Tow
path club did not care to be the tags on The tail Of
auyone's kite and proposed that they should ignore
THIS executive cummittc. entirely and appoint II
committee IN cooperate with other republican as
sOciatiOns IN reference to the inaugural cerc-
monies. Captain Barber was Of the opinion that
the executive committee" was "a little "preyiOus,"
but asked IN the interest Of harmony that the crew
take no hnsty action. Finally amotOu was made by
Mr. Trimblc that n committee be appointed, con-
sisting of The rSt five officers Of The crew aud two
additional members, 10 consult with other state o.
socatons IN reference to the inaugural cerc-
monies beCk-hands Clcphane and Trlmble were
appointed to act on this committee with the first
five officers. Tho boat was tied up until tonight
