CINCINNATI CONVENTION.

The national executive committee Of the
Democratic party has selected Cincinnati as
the place and June the 22nd the time fol
holding the presidential convention. In the
meanwhile the friends of the distinguished
candidates whose names have been used in
connection with the exalted position OF
president will increase their efforts in the
advocacy of their favorites, and the public
mind will he kept in a constant state of ex-
citement.
1t cannot be denied that the occasion pre-
sents material for profound consideration and
anxious solicituds. The campaign of 1876,
with its hard fought ballots, its telling memo
ries and its eloquent and brilliant triumph
10 the Democracy, give us renewed hope and
encouragement in the coming contest, whilst
the bold, colossal and hideous fraud perpe-
traied by the defeated party fills the public
mind with overwhelming amazement, indig-
nation and shame.
The Democratic party cannot afford TO
lose sight Of the fact that the men who origi-
h-ti5l and executed the crime Of defrauding

our BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Evidence Of the permanent revival of bust
ness continues to reachu from every quarter
Of the United States, and 10 judge of the fl-
ture by our past il is fair TO presume that,
provided Congress permits the financial
question 10 rest where it is at present, trade
and every branch of industry will soon be
in full and healthy state of progression
In a financial article last week, New York
daily, stated that the hotels in that city was
crowded with merchants who had come
there 10 make purchases for their spring
and summer trade. Such an influx of bust
ness men had not been witnessed in New
York for over "a decade Of years. The same
paper, taking this as an omen of good iniers
that business, Phpnix like, has arisen from
its ashes, that the hum of machinery, the
clanking of the busy hammer, and the gen
eral resumption Of all industries give evil
dence corroborative Of that fact
But, while we rejoice in this apparent
good fortune, and fondly hope soon To bask
in the full sunshine ofrovived prosperity, we
find that spirit OF growing discomfort is
maniiesting iiselfin the ranks OF our mechan-
les and artisans in large cities, and strikes,
either in active progress Or in contemplation.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The signs Of the times most clearly indi.
cate that the fight is waxing warm and in.
teresting between the friends of Blaine
Sherman and Grant, and that the Chicago
convention will have high old time with
its candidates for the presidential nomina.
ton. Blaine and Sherman are fighting each
other most desperately, and at the same
time both are fighting Grant most bitterly
The Grant pageant is still on the go-junk-
citing around the world, whilst its represen-
tatives at home, Senators Cameron and
Conkling, are taking special care of its
occupants third term. The contest promises
well for the country, for when rogues fall
out honesty comes to the front, and the peo-
pie will not be slow to appreciate the motives
that have animated the Republican leaders
to obtain and maintain power. Sherman
and Blaine are shaking their rattles at each
other, whilst the Grant adherents not less
venomous, but more discreet are content to
work more secretly.
|. If We are to have another Republican
administration, we are inclined to the opin-
ion that we would prefer Grant to either
Blaine or Sherman. If in the blaze of pro-
gress of the 10th century, whilst literature,
science and art are developing its treasures,
and the blessings of liberty are being show
cred upon us, change is desired and the
people want taste of limited monarchy,
let it come with the advent of Grant into
power, 1t would come with better grace and
much greater force In the history of the
world there are TO be observed different eras
which have always attracted the attention
of men from the interest of the events which
they present and the importance of the con-
sequences to which they have led. The
same age which witnessed the military glo-
ries of Wellington and Napoleon beheld the
completion of the astronomical investigation
by Laplace, and the hidden recesses of the
heart unfolded by Sir Walter Scott Earth
told the history of its revolutions through
the remains buried in its bosom, and the
secrets of material composition yielded to
the power of philosophical analysis; sculp-

of Conova, and the genius of Torwaldson
again charmed the world by the fascina-
tons of designs; architecture displayed its
splendor in the embellishments of the French
metropolis, and the capitol of Russia united
to the solidity of Egyptian materials the
delicacy of Grecian taste-and why not, in
this age of christian philanthropy and after
we have been sounding for more than a
hundred years with cannon and drum mans
fitness for self-government, organize a limit
ed monarchy upon the ruins Of Repubi-
can government The most stupendous and
glorious editice Of liberty which has been
erected on the foundation of human integ-
rity in any age or country. Who could
better crystalline the formula of monarch
al government than Grant? Is he not a
Cromwell without his ambition; Sylla
without his crimesp Is he not modest with
out diflidence; sensible to the voice of fame
without vanity; Independent without as
perity or pride; soldier from necessity
rather than patriotism Think over it

20, Tempora! O, Mores =

Mr.. Editor Il heartily concur with the
divine in his letter Of last week in the above
exclamation, but think his perceptive quail
ties failed in its application to the true points
of the public school imbroglio
When it is known TO the public that the
overweening influences which induced the
Legislature to place in the hands of the
Judiciary the appointment of School Com
missioners, were, that the public schools
might be far removed from the banefll in
1uenees of political knavery and religious
sectarianism, and in the face of the avowed
purposes we find a Judge making these ap-
pointments, to use his own language, "to
unite and strengthen the Democratic pdrty,"
well and truly may we exclaim o, times |
o, customs and he might aptly add, O,
Judge where was that "tO0 much rega1d for
the dig7ity Of mig ODn position" when from
your own lips had fallen confession like
the one above. Is it dignified in Judge to
perform such duty for any political party
or purpose? When we find that same Judge
saying that in the appointment of two of
these School Commissioners he had consulted
with no one, and we find that the same divine,
by his own confession, even before the APP
pointment of these gentlemen was seeking
and soliciting from each of them a promise
or pledge to appoint him Examiner, &c,
well, might such deceit and underhand
work so shock his nervous sensibilities as to
make him cry out, 0, times o, customs
When our court leaves our own county
and its residents and goes all the way to the
City Of Baltimore to select a gentleman who
lives in Baltimore, but votes in Montgomery
county, one who has no interest either d.
rect or indirect in our public schools or our
people, who has no children to educate, and if
he had, would never send them to our pub
lie schools to be educated, well may our
sensibilities be so shocked as TO cry out, o,
times o, customsl
When it is proclaimed under the signature
of responsible party that the Examiner
lately selected is not qualified to fill the
position; when we are informed that the
commissioners who appointed him did not
resort to any examination or to use any
means to ascertain the qualifications of one
to perform the duties of so important a
trust, well may we cry out, o, times o,
customsl
1t is of very little importance to the pub
lie whether Mr.. Whites examination papers
were shown in a court house or bar-room,
the dignity of the one or the levity of the
other could have no bearing upon the ques-
ton as to his competency, and whatever
these examination papers show the public
are entitled to it. If they show competency
in Mr.. White then Capt. Anderson has been
guilty of great wrong; if they show his
incompetency then the Commissioners lately
appointed and Mr.. White have been guilty
of great wrong and injury to the public for
which they are and should be amenable--
the Commissioners for appointing him and
he for accepting an office which he was in
competent to fill JUsTITIA.
