A Paris dispatch to the London Times
of the Goth ult. brings out some new
features of the late troubles in the fam
lily of the Russian Emperor. The pop
ulace attribute the troubles to the stu
dents of st. Petersburg, and threaten.
if any criminal act occurs on the COM
ing anniversary of the Emperor's ac-
cessiou to the throne, that they will
burn down the university, and lynch
every student who falls into their
hands. The government has already
had to take measures to protect the
students. The Emperor has received
several anonymous letters, bordered
with black, and are known as the
"biaek letters" and how they came up
on his table is a mystery. Word is
given ont that the government need
not take pains to illuminate the city

New York Convention.

The Republicans of New York met in
convention for the election of delegates
to Chicago next June, at Utica Feb. 25.
Gen. Grant was recommended for
nomination. Senator COnkling made an
able speech in his favor. The Blaine
men were full of vigOr, and were led by
Senator Forster and Gen. Curtis. There
vas lively skirmishing all around, but
in the end good feeling and harmony
prevailed. The general sentiment
seemed to be, that while each faction
would do all it could for its favOrite,
whoever was finally nominated should
receive hearty support by all. The
delegates at large are Senator Conkhng,
Gov. Corueu, Gen. Arthur and j. r
Warren OF Buffalo. The action OF the
delegates here leaves pretty clear as
pect of the New York campaign senti-
ment.

New Presidential Feature.

Having a call this week from Hon.
B. N. Davis of Danville, who was in
New York city when the news of the
Utica convention was received, this
gentleman says that it is claimed there
that Grant is as good as laid on the
shelf already. That the results of the
convention are nothing but defeat.
That in all probability Grants name
will never be presented at Chicago.
But that Elihu Washburne stands the
best chance to-day of all the men who
have been mentioned for the presiden-
cy. That Conllling will go for him to
defeat Blaine. In short, that Washburne
is our ablest statesman, and will unite
the party stronger than ever before,
while the party would be likely to die
under the administration of Blaine.

Senator Edmunds.

1t would not be the strangest thing
that ever happened. if Senator Ed
munds should, in the course of things,
take the inside track in the political
campaign. He stands well in Congress
with both parties, has rendered good
service, been consistent in speech and
action, and more still, he is every way
a solid, strong man. MI. Lincoln took
the sudden attention of the country, as
did also Mr.. Hayes; and when the End
of June comes, it may he that our ''fa-
vorite SOM will not be far in the rear.
Let US hope not.

The Troubles in California.

Fresh troubles have broken out in
San Francisco, resulting Ostensibly from
the Chinese question. What is to be
the upshot of all this business no one
can tell, but one thing is pretty plain,
and that is, Dennis Kearney is No help
to matters there. One ward of the city
lately passed resolutions offering armed
men to aid the authorities in destroying
"Chinatown." Kearney was around
there. He loves to reiterate the phrase,
"the Chinese must CO." If there is a
public gathering anywhere near the
city, Kearney is around. 1t is said the
city and country are Overrun with la
borers, and that at this time there are
great numbers of unemployed men, and
that also they are getting to he exceed
ingly uneasy and demonstrative. Kear-
ney steps in and sympathizes with
them, and it seems just now that the
mayor is coaxing them to behave for a
little while. The seat of wal has been
removed now to the Legislature at
Sacramento. Kearney is there also.
The chambers have already had a
squabble over the matter, and so it goes
on. Now, under the constitution of the
United States, have not the Chinese
rights here, if they behave themselves
and obey the lawsq What kind of a
''free" country is this, that seeks to
abuse and destroy foreigners who come
to our shores to better their condition

Tilden's Hopes.

1t is said that Tilden and his friends
have more hopes now, than for six
months, for another nomination to the
presidency. He evidently believes
that the Republicans are about to make
a grand mistake in the third term bus
mess, and that he will sail in upon a
new popular tide, resulting from Re-
publican blunders. His favOrite argu-
ment is to try and convince the people
that Grant means Empire, while he,
virtuous soul, is the clear representa-
ton of popular rights, and the liberty
of the Fathers. Uncle Sammy" may
yet take a longer jump in the dark
than he did in 1876.

Senator Edmunds.
WHAT HE DID.

George F. Edmunds was the father Of
the electoral law, which solved the
presidential tangle of 1867. 1t was
the greatest triumph of remedial legis-
lation known in our time.-[SpringfelG
Republican.
Edmunds is a very able, clean and
courageous man and statesman. While
we do not think he would run as well
as Washburne, we should gladly sup
port him.-IAdams (Mass.) Transcript,
Edmunds might as well be the can
didate of New England, since it is evil
dent that outside of Maine Blaine is
weaker in New England than anywhere
else. Edmunds could carry New York
if any Republican could he is a can
didate upon whom Grant and anti
former enough for the reformers, radi-
cal enough for the radicals, fair and
honest enough for the independent.
Above all he has availability, notwith

not "a Republican in the country who
could not heartily vote for Edmunds
against any democrat that can be nom
inated.-[ Waterbury Comm Ameri-

HOW THE VERMONT NOMINATION is RE-
CEIvED IN WASHINGTON.
Ben. Perley Peore, the veteran Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Journal telegraphs that paper as fol-
lows:
The endorsement of Senator Ed
munds by the stalwart Republicans OF
Vermont is especially gratifying here
to those who recognize in the party
name of Republican truth and princi-
pie, not a mere partisan sound. The
first of the articles of belief in the Re-
publican creed has been a steadfast
confidence in the intelligence and integ-
rity of the loyal North, and it is evil
dent that in Vermont that creed has
not been forgotten. The calm voices
Of freedom and of patriotism have not
been lost in storm of partisan shouts,
and a name has been presented for the
first Office in the gift of the people,
mostly of popular confidence, affection
and support. The election of Senator
Edmunds would be u death blow tC
subsidies, corruption and jobs during
his administration, and mercenary pol
iticians would be forced to occupy back
seats.
Although Senator Edmunns of Yer.
mont is us yet clark horse" in the
presidential race he is not so clark" a:
was Gov. Hayes before he was nomi-
mated in 1870 Haverhill Gazette.

The State Convention.
THE WAY COL. HooKER's ELECTION Il
TAKEN AT HOME.

THE WAY COL. HOOKER'S ELECTION is
TAKEN AT HOME.
We thought it very singular if the
election of Geo. w. Hooker us dele
gate to represent Vermont in nation
al convention was passed in silence
where he was the best known. Below
we give the comments Of the Brattle-
boro Ph9nir, the oldest and one of the
staunchest Republican papers in Wind
ham county. Sooner or later the Re-
! publican perty has got to come upon
this ground-political morality aud
freedom from machine management.
Here is what that paper says on this
subject
We believe it to be iu oIder for us to
say that if the Windam county delega-
ton in presenting Col. Hooker's ns."'e
to the convention, felt that they were
carrying out the wishes of their cOnsti-
tuents, they were much mistaken. We
see no reason why whole regiment OF
old and tried Vermont Republicans
should have been passed by, in Colonel
Rockers favor. If delegate was to
be taken from Windham county, there
are IL hundred men of actual residence
and long service here, and of sound po-
litical principles, who might have been
selected, and the ordinary fitness OF
things not have been outraged in the
choice. That such men were passed
by, and man taken whose residence
in the state is only nominal, whose
business interests are entirely outside
the state, and but fraction of whose
time is spent here, cannot be excused
on any ground of expediency or politi-
cal morality. The present is a time
when all the better element of the Re-
publican party is making a fight fol-
clean politics, but, with Col. Hooker's
well known ideas of political manage
ment, his election by the convention
cannot he regarded as other than IL tri-
umph of the "bummer" element. Three
stronger and more acceptable men, of
more commanding influence. than are
ex-GOvs. Smith and Stewart, and Mr..
Billings, could not have been elected to
represent us at Chicago, and it is not
gratifying to the pride of Windham
county that she has furnished the man
she has, by no intentional act of her
own, to fill out the delegation.
More than this, Windham county is a
unit for Senator Edmunds, first and
last and all the time but in the face of
this fact is the well-knOwn one that
Col. Hooker is not an Edmunds man.
He may, indeed, have met with a sud
den conversion at Montpelier, but in
Brattleboro his choice has been openly
avowed for Blaine, and he is the only
man who, to us, has ever expressed a
decided opposition to Mr. Edmunds {;
this he has explicitly done in a CONVEX
sation with us during the present win
ter. These comments and structures
we make from no personal hostility to
Col. Hooker, but because in this cam
paign the Phoenix will stand infexibly
for political morality and freedom from
"machinen management.

bers of the republican state convention

Immediate object of that campaign is
to elect republican candidate. That
candidate should therefore be chosen

There are two prominent aspirants for
the candidacy whom many republicans
