fear that the nomination of General Grant
would mean the defeat Of their party ana the
surrender of the Government to Democratic
hands, Without the votes of these Al dele
gates, General Grant cannot be nomlna-
ted. In fact, his defeat is nearly as certain
as any future event can be, If only the 81
members from this State and PennsylVa-
MIA who have declared against his nomlna-
ton insist upon their right to vote according
to their convictions.
The case stands, then, exactly as 1t stoou
before the Illinois and Alabama Conventions
when it was pointed out that Grant could DE
nominated only by the enforcement OF the
unit rule. That rule can be enforced only by
the majority of the Convention, because 1t
has never yet been permitted in Re
publican National Convention. In voting
upon the question whether that rule
shall be enforced, every delegate IS en-
titled to his individual and independent vote,
and the majority of members, desiring the
nomination of other candidates than Grant, will
vote in the certainty that they secure his
nomination if they permit the rule to be en-
forced. If an attempt is made to put into the
chair any temporary chairman who will
disregard the established usages of Re-
publican Conventions, by denying to the
individual members their right to vote as they
please, that attempt must be resisted at the
outset by direct appeal to the majority, and
no organization contrary to the wishes of the
majority of delegates must be tolerated even
for an instant. The Grant people have shown
in Illinois how they mean to apply the gag
by the selection of n chairman who is capable
e tIa nd
wishes of the majority, but the delegates III
the National Convention will be fOrewarned.
Beside the question as to the unit rule, there
will arise one other which must be settled by
vote of the majority. Eighteen delegates
have been chosen by the State Convention IN
Illinois, in defiance of the wishes of the rep
resentatives from nine Congressional Districts
Their seats will be contested. The men
who were chosen by the districts will
claim their right to represent them, and
q Committee on Credentials opposed to the
nomination of General Grant will report upon
the matter. There is little room to doubt
that the report will be in favor of the dele
gates from the districts and against the
usurpers thrust into the delegation by the
bare majority in the State Convention. The
question will then go to the majority in the
National Convention, and those who do not de-
sire tho nomination of Grant will be very likely
to refuse to sustain the high-handed net by
which IS delegates were stolen, contrary
to the will of the districts. BY these steps
the emancipation of delegates from the unit
rule and the election of bogus delegates never
chosen by their districts-the supporters of
Grant ought to be reduced to about 272 be-
fore the ballOtting begins, not counting the
delegations from Louisiana and Colorado, or
204 if he should secure the whole of those
delegations. His opponents have the power to
prevent his nomination, if they act with unity,
good sense and firmness.

The murderous lemon merngue is again at Its
deadly work. sapping the foundations OF human
life and subjectng to frightful agonies the human
stomach. About all the inmates OF Doardlng-
house in Brooklyn have been made extremely sick
by the eating of this fatal article. Other families
are reported also in Brooklyn, as having been sim
ilarly atfected and it may be seriously suggested
to manufacturers Of meringue that if they go on
using copper vessels for cooking lemons, and thus
disseminating acetate Of copper as dinner-tabie
luxury, they may possibly find themselves indicted
for manslaughter. They cannot say that they have
not had warning. Every cook knows. or should
know that copper vessels for culinary purposes are
always dangerous, no matter how clean they may DO
kept; and that they are especially dangerous when
acids are used in them. The meringue-rnan ID
Brooklyn AYERS that he sold fifty OF these pies;
that his own family had eaten one, and that no
complaint has reached him except from the board
ers in Remsen-st. This only proves that the poison
was unequally distributed and that the victims got
more than their share of it. The meringue has at
tanned such an unfortunate notorety that possibly

The decrease by tho Reading alone has been
49S, 39S tons, while all the other companies
have moved only S1,O1G less than they did
in the samo time last year. This is the most
conclusive answer to the statement often
made by those interested in the coal business,
that the main trouble has arisen from the ex-
crssivc shipments and sales of the Reading
Company In order to meet its necessities.
The Reading Company appears to be almost
the only one that has materially restricted
its production. Instead Of S,147,580 tons
moved last year. and 100000 tons expected
by President GOWen to be moved this year,
the company has thus far moved at the rate
of only about 100000 tons yearly and,
moreover, it has not been able to realize tho
expected advance of 81 so per ton on any
considerable part Of the coal sold The nOmi-
nal advance has been only about 81 per ton
since November last, and the latest issue of
The Engineering and Mining journal says:
"The public disbelicvcs in the stability OF the
understanding between the companies, and
"is consuming the large stock purchased
"last year. or is only buying in
n hand-to-mOuth way. The iron trade is
&c in such n demoralizcd condition that makers
" are unwilling to put i'll stocks until the
d" future of the trade becomes more clearly
defined. These causes account for the
" abnormally small demand" 1t would per-
haps be simpler to say that it is not possible
for American producers to make or manu-
facture iron largely in competition with Great
Britain, if present prices are to be charged
for anthracite coal used as fuel. The coal
monopoly, therefore. in trying to eXtOrt from
the public an increased profit Of 81 so per
ton. will stop the consumption of coal in the
making and working of iron to such an ex-
tent that some of the companies, at least, will
be unable to pay their fixed charges. What
other companies are substantially in the pO-
sition of the Reading in this respect, this is
not the time to inquire that some are, the
managers well know. Their wise course is to
move Immediately for policy in harmony
with public interests.
President Gowen sinned against light He
well knew, and had clearly demonstrated in
his published reports, that the monopoly policy
WAS an injurious and dangerous one to his
company. In his report for 1873 he enumer-
ated "the injuries suffered by tho company
lowing to tho combination of last year. as
compared with its independent position of
the previous season" included AMONG them
an absolute failure to realize in increased
"prices for coal or increased rates Of
transportation sufficient to Overbalance the
"increased cost due to restricted production"
and added that this policy involved ga loss
q of net profits to the two companies, as
compared with the previous yeas; Of

ELISE TRIRD. TEN CONFIDENCE.

The attempt to stampede the opponents Of
the third term is based entirely upon an asser-
ton that ninety-One members Of the COnvcn-
ton will be forced or frightened into voting
as they openly declare they will not vote.
This seems a strange foundation upon which
to rest positive assertions that the nomination
of a candidate is certain, But it is important
to have IL we'll understood that the hopes Of
the friends of General Grant have no other
basis.
AS to States Conventions which have
instructed for Grant, what are the facts :?
In Pennsylvania 10 delegates have declared
that their choice is not Grant, and that they do
not mean to vote for him. In New-YOrk 10
have made the same declaration, in Virginia
12, in Texas 8, and in other States 81 in all.
If the votes of all these members can be cast
without their consent, and against their will
and convictions of duty, by the chairmen Of
the State delegations, then the supporters
of Grant can count 378 delegates, or,
with few yet to be chosen in LOuisi-
ana or Colorado, enough to nominate
him. But il these votes cannot be so cast,
then his strength will be smaller, sand not
enough to nominate him. Everything de-
ponds, therefore, upon the enforcement of the
unit rule in convention majority of whose
members are opposed to that rule. The hope
of Grants nomination rests entirely upon the
notion that about 90 delegates of the ma
iority will vote to dIsfranchise themselves. Is
this sufficiently probable to warrant very
loud-voiced and positive assuranceF
BulldOzing has been somewhat effective
among ignorant colOred voters at the South.
But we have some doubt whether it will sue
coed equally well with the intelligent and in
dependent representatives of the Republican
party in Convention. Just 90 of the dele
gates who are expected to be bulldozed into
voting for Grant are from the South, it is
true. But if not one OF them should have the
manhood to assert his convictions and
to insist upon the independent vote to
which the common Jaw of Republi-
can conventions entities him-a thing by no
means to be belieyed-there would still remain

The note which the Great Powers are to
send to the Porte, calling on it to settle the
Greek, Montenegro and Armenian questions,
may be expected to have more effect than the
half-hearted representations of the BeacOns-

that it has little favor to expect from the
Gladstone Government which initiated this
note, and that its only security lies in the
prompt fulfilment of its engagements.
