THE REPUBLICAN, CON-
VENTION.

In our last issue we were unable to
finish the account of the Republican Con-
vention, and add few words here. The
presentation of the names of the various
nominees was made on Saturday night,
but no ballot was taken until Monday.
The speeches in nominating and second
ing were generally good, though some
failed. Mr.. Blaiue's men, except Frye,
made rather lame work of it and his
friends were greatly disappointed. Conk-
ling presented Grant in his remarkably
eloquent manner. He was exceedingly
severe in his illusions to Blaine. Sem
ator Edmunds was nominated by Fred
creek Billings in most felicitous man.
ner. Gen. Garfield presented the name
Of Sherman in superb manner, and
doubtless made an impression on the
Convention that had considerable to dc
with the final result.
On Monday at IL o'clock, the con
ventiOn convened and voting commenced
at once. The result Of the first ballo
was quite surprise to all, Grant having
the lead by twenty votes over Blaine
his leading rival. In some manne
Blaine had lost about twenty votes, anC
Washburne developed unexpectedly. Tn,
result of the first ten ballots was an
nounced last week. The voting wen
on with very little variation on Monda,
and Monday evening. On Tuesday tn
first ballots showed little change, bu
soon after. the Edmunds men of Massa
chusetts went on to Sherman, and hi
figures run up to about 100. On tn
34th ballot Gen. Garfield of Ohio re
ceived seven votes, and there were sign

If Senator Edmunds has any feelings
of pride in his standing and success in
the world-he never seems to manifest
any-he can but be grati6ed by the
high honor that has been conferred on
him during the past few months, while
he has been talked of as presidential
candidate. There is little that is good
that has not been said of him, both by
the press and by distinguished men,
partisans and non partisans. So far as
honor is concerned, he has reaped full
measure. His sagacity, his integrity,
his ability, his craftsmanship have all
been highly extolled. Really he was
too perfect man to be universally pop
ular. A man needs some failings to
set off his virtues. Vermont has re-
ceived considerable honor through heI
distinguished citizen, and she will con-
tinue to honor herself, as she honors him
in keeping him in the Senate as long
as he desires the place.

Last Wednesday evening, some person
or persons entered the band room Of the
White River Junction band, and after
piling the instruments in one corner of
the room, trampled upon them and of
course ruined them. The instruments
were all good ones-sOme of them very
valuable-among them tuba worth 1925.
No reason can be assigned for this das-
tardly act, and the perpetrators are I'M
known.
The farmers of Fairfax and Georgia,
VT, have become much alarmed at dis
ease that has broken out among the cattle
of several herds at North Frirfax. 1t
first appeared some two weeks ago among
the cattle belonging to Ransom Stevens,
and has since spread among others pas
tured near his. The symptoms are, first,
signs ofweakness, dropping; then violent
trembling and difficulty of breathing,
swelling of the throat, followed by a
whitish mucous discharge from the mouth
and nose, and death. In attempting to
skin one of the affected animals Mr.. Ste.
vens became inoculated with the poison,
| and was soon taken violently i'll. For
| some time the doctors expressed no hope
of his recovery, though at last accounts
| his symptoms were more favorable; but
he will probably lose some of his fingers,
and perhaps hand.

valiantly and wisely. as long as there
was any possibility of a break in his
favor, and then had wisdom sufficient to
take position on the winning side. Yer

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIToR.1
WASHINGTON, June z, 1880.


WASHINGTON, June z, 1880.
Until recently | never knew how
much I was blessed above all men when
| was country editor, revealing, yes
fairly rolling in wealth, with plenty of
cord-wood and vegetables, simply for a
subscription, and always the opposition
paper, miserable sheet to goad me on to
glorious thoughts. My dear brother
Quill, you never will have due appre-
citation of the many blessings showered
upon you, until you have had an exper-
fence as Capital correspondent. No
one but he who has tried it knows the
trials that beset the Metropolitan corre-
spondent in his search after items. Not
that there is any dearth at times of
items that comes down to us from that
"Cave of Winds" the Capitol, bat such
items are prosy facts, and what does
talented, driving correspondent want
with facts? The only thing your CORE
spondent can do. is to fall naturally, as
it were, into style reviewing the events
as they pass in panoramic display before
us. But little has been done the past
week in Congress owing to protracted
labors of the Chicago Convention. The
member from Skowhegan introduced an
amendment appropriating hundred
thousand dollars of money, yours and
mine, for the improvement of Catfish
Inlet, and was bitterly opposed by the
talented member from Oshkosh who had
just introduced and lost an amendment
to the same bill for an appropriation of
two hundred thousand dollars for the
removal of distractions at Frog Harbor.
But all this vast amount of work has
been done in listless sort of way,
Democrats and Republicans vieing with
each other in trying to do as little as
possible, that is doing nothing that
would in the least decrease their chances
of reelection. The proceedings at Chi
cago have absorbed nearly if not all the
attention of the people here during the
past week, even the high priced thou
sand dollar clerk has been ubiquitous
and the corridors of the several depart.
ments have been damned with politicians,
who rushing franticly from room tc
room, impress the verdant reporter with
the idea that without the presence and
services of these peculiar magnetic indi
viduals the days of the nation would be
numbered. The colored population have
