Thursday, June ~, 1880.

The withdrawal OF Samuel J. Til
den, on his own motion, LETT the party
almost at sea in regard to n nomina-
ton, as his had been the only name
prominently before the country. II
has therefore been extremely hard
TO arrive at any correct idea Of who
will be the nominee, there being al
most as many opinions rs candidates.
Hancock has developed great strength,
but the knowing ones say that he
cannot get the necessary twothirds.
The wild voting Of the first ballot
shows that there is no decided choice,
and il is hoped and believed that after
enough ballots have been taken 10
prove that no other man can get it, a
rush viii be made to Tilden, and he
will he declared the nominee with a
whoop. The fact that his name can
not he mentioned In the Convention
without creating the widest cheers,
leads us to the opinion that he is the
coming man, notwithstanding his
withdrawal. Hancock may get
through on the next few ballots, but
il he does not. then count on the
above. I give below an abstract of
the proceedings so far.
The Conven ton was called TO order

which included Judge Lindsay on

On the conclusion Of this ballot the
Convention, after being in session
eight continuous hours. adjourned till
lOA. NJ. Thursday. The Tammany
crowd is here in large numbers, and
il is a fearful looking set of cut
threats. They seem TO be on the
look out for rows, and create them
right and left. Their exclusion from

How to Get a Dinner.

A gentleman who had travelled
about pretty extensively was greatly
perplexed to understand how it was
that other persons were waited upon
promptly and well served at the
hotels, while he was almost entirely
ignored and could scarcely obtain a
square meal-complain to the waiter
as be might. At last his eyes were
opened to the dodge of feeling the
waiter literally, and being of an in
genious turn of mind he determined
to improve upon the plan. The next
hotel he dined at he took his seat
very pompously at the table, and
took out well filed pocket book,
extracting therefrom a ten-dollar
bill, which he laid on the white
cloth beside his plate, aud placed his
goblet upon it. In an, instant, al
most, he was surrounded by walters,
who seemed to vie with each other
in attentions. Every wish was an
ticipated and all the delicacies of the
kitchen and pantry were placed be-
fore him in tempting array. Having
Jared as sumptuously as a prince-to
the envy of many of the guests-he
took up the greenback, and, beckon-
ing to the nearest waiter, was imme-
diately besieged by half dozen or
SO. Holding the bill in one hand, he
pointed to it with the other and in.
quired, of the crowd:
ssDo you see that bill?"
s.Oh, yes, sir" they all exclaimed
in chorus.
saThen take a good look at it, he
replied, "for you will never see it
again"
Saying which he departed, leaving
the walters aghast.

An s.old turkey ralser," who has been
experimenting as to the effect of charcoal
upon turkeys, says he shut four turkeys
up in pen and fed them on meal, boiled
potatoes and oats, while four others from
the same brood were given the same
food, except that pint Of finely powder
ed charcoal was mixed with it every day,
and liberal supply of it was placed in
the pen. The eight were killed the same
day, but those given charcoal weighed a
pound and a half apiece more than the
others, while their flesh was much ten
derer and better favored.

" inaugurate its President, we Will meet as a
"subject and conquered people, amid the ruins
" of liberty and the fragments of the Constitu-
" ton"
These are the principles-the rawlings OF
Northern Copperbeads, Southern rebels and
Western Repudiators-to which General Han
cock subscribed so heartily that it made him
indignant to be doubted. Horatio Seymour
presented himself to the country as the
candidate of these ideas, and sustained
terrible defeat. Is there any reason
why General Hancock should fare betterY
These are General Hancock's principles; he
said so, and it is fair to presume that tNy have
not changed. The same set of men nominated
both candidates. The same Wade Hampton
was influential now and then. Both represent
the same party, the same rebels, the same
regulators. The election of Seymour would
have been the election of the unreeenerate
Democratic party, the election Of Hancock
would be precisely the same thing-nothing
more, nothing less. The people Indignantly
rejected the one will they accept the otherT
We believe they will give their answer III his
own words-"Never, never, never! "

modelled closely upon the Rochdale plan
so successful in England, which was
explained by Mr.. Holyoake In the
lectures delivered during his recent tour
in this country. The store seems to be en-
trely successful, but its usefulness is limited
by location too far from the homes of its
patrons. Cooperative stores should not seek
central location or expect to draw custom from
a large extent of city territory. Each should
be organized to supply only n limited area.
Its members should be found among the
people living close at hand, and it should be
as convenient as the corner grocery. in order
that it may have no disadvantage to contend
with in getting start. If the working-peopie in
any section of city want to secure the adj
vantages of a cooperative store, which are
cheaper prices, better goods and feeling OF
self-help and fraternal regard among the
members, they have only to move in the mat
ter themselves. They need no philanthropIsts
to aid them. and they require no capital save
what they can themselves furnish.

COOPERATION IN BOSTON.

A Boston letter printed on another page de-
scribes the success in that city of the Phila-
delphia system of cooperative building and
loan associations. This system is by no
means experimental. 1t has been In opera
ton in Philadelphia for many years, and
has enabled thousands of clerks and
mechanics working for small salaries
or weekly wages to own the houses
they live in, and thus be independent of
landlords. The monthly payments required
of members of these associations who obtain
loans for the purchase of homes are only
little greater than the rent they wonld pay
for houses not as good as those they buy.
In few years. without making any sacrifice
of ordinary comforts or changing their mode
Of living. they become possessors of neat, at
tractive little houses, and can enjoy in later
life the feeling of security which the
ownership of roof-tree alone can give.
This system is hardly adapted to New-York
City by reason of the excessively high price
of building lots, but 1t can DO successfully in
troduced in the suburban towns in New
Jersey, in Westchester County, and upon Long
Island. To some extent it has already been
copied In those towns, but It's merits are not
half as well known as they should be.

Court as affecting other persons. and that tne
decision of Judge Swayne as TO these other
persons had been applied to General CARRIED
by the Circuit Court in Chicago. This was
equivalent to charging Judge Swayne with
dscreditable bubble. II was intended. II we
may Judge from appearances to convey tne
impression that in some way the Circuit Court
IN the Chiitenden case had applied TO General
Garfield the opinion which Judge Swayne had
pronounced in the Trist case so that, although
The World had COMPOUNDED the doctrine OF
"Judge Swayne in the case of Trist VS.. Chlld
with n direct opinion of Judge Swayne on
the case of General Garfield" the original
story of The World was substantially true
after all, and the question was only question
of which case and which Court. This is the
late st of the series of lies. The familiar doc
trine of Judge Swayne in the Trst case (Which
arose out of a claim for services in connection
with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in
1S4sJ, that lobbying is not a legitimate occu-
patton, was never applied to the conduct OF
General Garfield, by the Circuit Court in
Chicago or by any other Court That doctrine
was cited by the counsel of DE Golyer ara
Mcclellan az a reason why the firm should be
excused from keeping Their agreement with
Chittenden. and their counsel alleged III his
argument that the services rendered by General
Garfield were of the character which the
Supreme Court had pronounced illegiimate.
Whether they were or not was a question
of fact, which never was tried. The allegations
of brief are rather different from the deci-
sions of Court The argument was on a
demurrer; and the Court simply Inled, as
letter IN The World explains, that the pleas of
the defen dauts awere good If the .tacts were
as therein stated" There the case stopped. 1t
is gross falsehood, therefore. TO say that the
doctrine of Judge Swayne has been applied by
the Court to the conduct of General Garfield.
We wonder how the lie will appear in The
WOrLG today.
