sklrting a School of Icebergs.


CAPT. VIM. SMITH, of the steamship
State of Georgia, that arrived at this port
on Thursday from Glasgow, reports
passing last Saturday large school OF
icebergs extending from latitude A deg.
% min. north and longitude 4s deg. 10
min. west to latitude Al deg. Is min.
north and longitude 48 deg. 80 min.
west. This is southeast of NewfOund-
land. First Officer A. B. Murray, who
was on watch at the time, said yester-
day: "It was a beautiful day. There
were eight large icebergs and number
of smaller ones. They extended east
and west, and were drifting southwark.
We passed within n mile, and had q
good view of them as we passed one af.
ter another for thirty miles. They were
in sight for three hours. Some of them
were from 100 feet to 200 feet high.
One that was in the shape of q high
bluff was about 800 feet long. Another
was about 250 feet long, and was sur
mounted with towers, spires, and tur-
rets, like vast cathedral. Another was
200 feet long and was wedge-shaped.
The colors were gorgeous in the after
noon sunshine. SEINE of the icebergs
had clear blue streak all the way
around, but the ice was mainly clear
Our course led us very near, but we
were not obliged to deviate. If we had
met such II mass of ice at night it would
have been very dangerous, but with a
sharp lookout, unless the weather is
foggy, icebergs may be plainly seen at
night from the halo of light that gener-
ally surmounts them. The shape of an
iceberg always changes as it is viewed
from different points, and a lively imag-
ination can liken one to many objects,
if we could have towed the largest one
into New York it would have materially
affected the price of ice this summer. -
The bark Ajax, from Rotterdam,
passed nine icebergs on the 90th ult., in
latitude 43 deg. q min longitude 49
deg. 40 min.--N. T. San.

Remarks by the Chairman OF the Ma
tiOnal Committee.

The following were the remarks Of
Senator Cameron on calling the Ma
tional Republican Convention to order:
Gentlemen of the Convention. I ask your at
tentiOn for single moment. During the can
vass just ended there has heen manifested in
many sections of the country consi lerable
bitterness [cries of "LouderH'l which trust
will entirely disappear before entering upon
the grave duties devov,ng upon us.
IT, Loudern'l Let there he but one motive
governing oar action. and let that be IA deter
possible candida Loud applause.l Men
strong in them selves, men strong in the cunti-
dcnce and affections of the people, and III IN
who will command the respect of the civilized
world. [Applause.l
Our country, of which we are justly proud,
has grown so rapidly in population and wealth
and influence during the existence of the Re-
publican party, that We have attained n posi-
tiOn as one of the leading powers of the world.
We can no longer be satisfied With our isOla-
tOn. Recognizing the changed condition we
must place in position men who's familiarity
with other Nations viii enable them to direct
our affairs so that we will take the lead in
commerce, MS we have in agriculture and in
manufacture. Do not for IA moment doubt the
strength of our Institutions. They have been
tried in blood and came from the contest bet
ter, stronger, purer than the most u dent pl-
triot dared to hope for. lApplauscl No com
blnatiOu of CirCuLn stances, no cOterie of indi-
Yiduals, no personal ambition, can ever pre-
vail against the intelligence and the inborn
love OF liberty which a"e implanted in the
breasts of Americans. lAppialisel When the
nominations are made and the Convention has
completed its work. let there he but one sCnti-
meut animating all Curncst, since c and un-
selfish Republicans, and let that be that each

B6y~ Mr.. Bayard's proposition to va
cate the offices of Supervisor of Elec-
tions al over the country, and give the
Senate chance to reject the Presi-
dents appointments thereto, is fitted to
give the Democrats of the Senate a
chance to prevent any enforcement of
the Federal Election law at all in No
vember. The Senate can easily refuse
to confirm any of the Presidents ap.
pointees, on some pretext or other, and
thus keep the positions vacant alto
gether This is only q fresh variation
upon the old theme, and is well calcu-
lated to help the Bayard boom. That
candidate commends himself most to
the Democratic heart in the bull-dozing
districts of the South, and the corrupt
metropolis of the North, who urges the
removal of all safeguards from the
ballot-box, ,-NortOicb Gonna Courier.

Rd~ From our Washington specials ii
appears that Hamburg Butler cannot
yet bring himself to bear gracefully any
reference TO that massacre from which
he derives his pseudonym. When Sena-
tor Rollins, in debate, alluded in fitting
terms TO that atrocity, Butler, who was
chief actor in it, replied with coarse
vituperation, in true bull-dozing style,
as if to give the lie direct or cireum-
stantial could do away with the facts,
which render the massacre, and all re-
sponsible for it, infamous for all time.

National Republican., 1880-11-11

for the night under this treaty. In the
morning the news reached them that both
Indiana and Ohio had gone republican, and
the party were in high glee over it. In
private conversation the happiness was
irrepressible, but the hour of severe trial
had not yet been reached. There was to
be public demonstration, a reception and
some speech-making, and that was LA
bic to test the strength of the treaty
of the previous evening very severely. 1t
fell to tho lot of Secretary RAMSEY TO
make the first speech of the occasion, and
he appeared before the people with his
benign countenance beaming with good
nature and the fruition of Joy. His mind
was full of election news and his heart was
surcharged with gladness, when he broke
silence in the following:
FELLOW. CITIZENS: We arc all very happy
this morning We have heard good tidings
from home and--that is-we have heard from
our families.
He then proceeded with his remarks
without the slightest allusion to politics or
the glorious news that had filed his mind
with profound satisfaction. But fen men
would have kept faith with the treaty Of
silence entered into by the presidential
party under such provocation and tempta-
tion, but the secretary vindicated his iidel-
ity, and his skill at turning sharp corner
as well The president was greatly de-
lighted with the adroitness of his war min
istcr
