GRANT TO BE NOMINATED.

The result Of the contest in the Hi
nois Republican State convention be-
tween the friends Of Grant aud
Blaine-a decided victory for the
former, giving them solid dele
CATION Of forty-twO members Of the
National conyention-has made it
reasonably certain that Gen. Grant
will be nominated for President on
the first ballet taken in the Chicago
convention. The twenty votes Of
Alabama were added to the Grant
column yesterday, and Lonisiana's
sixteen will be similarly placed if the
convention which, assemblies next
Monday is q representative body and
gives expression to the nDdoubted
preference of nine tenths Of the Re
publicans of this State.
The prospect Of the nomination Of
Gen. Grant is cheering one TO
Southern Republicans. It will create
more interest and enthusiasm among
the voters Of their own party and
provoke less bitter opposition from
the Democracy of their section than
the selection Of any other aspiraDt
conld do. In fact, be is the only can
didate who offers them a living
chance Of breaking through the
-phalanx Of "the solid South" and
eliminating sectional issues from the
contest.
We believe that Grant will be cleo
ted over any candidate who may he
placed il the field against him, and
it would give us pleasure to see Lou
isiana and other Southern States con
tributing to his success. Should Til
den, or some creature Of his, be nom
mated at Cincinnati, the result Of the
contest would bv a ksregone conclu-
sion and our aspiration with refer
enee to the States Of the South would
no doubt be abundantly verified. We
are not sorry to say that the proba-
bility Of Tilden's nomination at Gin
cinnatj is almost as great as that Of
Grant at Chicago.

Alabama Republicans send a Grant
delegation to Chicago.
Tue Minnesota delegates to the
Chicago convention are instructed to
support Senator Window Of that State
for Presidential nominee, Blaine is
said to be the second choice Of ma
jority Of the delegates.
New Jerseys delegation to the Gin
cinnat convention is instructed, but
is favorable to BayaM. CALIFORNIA;
delegation is said to stand 8 for Til
den, 2 for Thurman, for Seymour,

The first choice Of the Virginia del

Judge Stephen ]. Field Of California.
Blaine captures the Nebraska and
Dakota delegations.
The Workingmen's State conven-
ton in California split into two
bodies. The Kearney faction pre-
dominated.
Greenback State conventions have
been held in Mississippi and Vermont.
The Iowa delegates to Cincinnati
are said to be unanimously for Tilden.
Hancock of Pennsylvania and Field
Of California are the only prominent
presidential candidates who have not
secured favorable delegations from
their own States. On the Republi-
can side Maine is for Blaine, Vermont

nesota for Window and Illinois for
Grant; on the Democratic slle New

Bayard, Ohio is for Thurman, and,
peradventure, Indiana for Hendricks.
Tilden has a majority Of the Pennsyl-
vania and California delegations.
The anti-Tilden papers had better
begin to hedge. It is pretty clear
that the old man will either capture
the presidential nomination for him

SENATOR GORDON RESIGNS.

Gen. Gordon Of Georgia has 1e-
signed his seat in the United States
Senate by reason Of press Of private
business and to escape the cares and
anxieties Of public life. After vainly
trying to induce Gen. Gordon to with
draw his resignation, Gov. Colqnitt
appointed ex-Gov. Jos. E. Brown to
fill the Senatorial vacancy. The APP
pointee has accepted and will proceed
to Washington at once to assume his
duties. A meeting held at Columbia
adopted resolutions strongly con
demning Coy. Colqnit. for appoint
ing Mr.. Brown and denonncing tile
latter as Il traitor to the interests
of the Democratic party. This is an
outcome Of Il bitter partisan fight that
has been waged in Georgia for some
time past between factions led reepec-
lively, we believe, by Gov. Colquitt

The Grand jury Of TerreboRne de-
Donnced the editor Of the Houma
Courier in very severe terms for adj
vising the formation Of 4 vigilance
committee il that parish. The fol-
lowing is an oxt:act from the Jury's
report;
In our opinion the people Of this parish
have always acted with a strong respect
for it's court and officers Of the law They
have at all times eyinced an inclination
to obey the mandates Of the law, and we
can not take the dwelling bosh Of crazy
Journalist, as authority that our citizens
will at this late date, blot the bright
record they have made il tile past by
patience and endurance, through many
scenes Of tumult and disorder.
While we regret that member of
the journalistic brotherhood has made
himself liable to such harsh criticism,
We heartily approve the motive and
principle which actnated the Grand
jury in recording vigorous protest
against the incendiary advice given
hy the Courier. 1t is only most ex-
c4ptional state Of affairs that can 10
any measure Justify an attempt to
snpcrccde legal forms in dealing with
the law breakers Of a community, and
we are satisfied that no such condition
Of society has at any time existed in
Terrebonne. The Couricr's counsel
was reprehensible 10 tie extreme and
deserved singing ,ebuke.
