His Comment ON the Speeches Placing

For four days the convention had been
struggling to effect an organization On the night
of Saturday June ), the selection of candidate
for the Presidency was i'll order. The following
are extracts from the speeches:
"The tempest burst upon the country, and the
ensued, which ragged for four long years Fortunately
for there the helm of the ship of state the
right men. and it manned by the right crew.'-.
Joy, Of Michigan, placing Blaine IN nomination.
L storm at sea in the night time--a
stanch old ship fighting its fury-the wind shreking
and bowling through her rigging-the huge waves
dashing against her sides-the lightning flashing and
thunder rolling all around Frye, Of Maine secoadiHg

Infdelk.

Colonel Ingersoll defines an infidel as
"a man that has had new idea absolutely" and
an orthodox man as "a man who is petrified in
his head; who is through; VINO is walking around
an intellectual corpse to save the funeral expenses
OF his SOUL" He says that infdels have been the
generous spirits of the unworthy past the victims
on the battlefe:dS of thought; the men who have
made the world fit to live in. Without them"
he says, I" the human brain would be as empty as
the churches will be soon. Why he asks, should
we believe that honest men have fearful death
while those who believe in slavery, polygamy, and
all sorts of crime like the murderer on the scaf3Id
look smilingiy around and beg US to be evange-
lized?" He says it is joy TO him to see = The
brand of inferiority on the orthodox brain," aud
to see that among the advanced thinkers of to-day
are men like Huxley, Darwin, Tyndall, RenaE,
Spencer, Heckel, and Hclmholz

Lessens' Intentions.

Lesseps' Intentions.
" How is work on the De Lesseps canal
advancng?' asked reporter OF John NJ. Wilson,
United States Consul at Panama, who has lately
arrived in the city.
1T is making very little progress was the reply
How many men employed, and what are
they doing"
There are about forty Frenchmen down there,
about half of whom appear TO be running lines in
various directions, while the other half are COM
missaries and so on. There are besides about
hundred Jamaica negroes engaged in cutting
brush. Wyse has returned to France"
Then nothing like serious work has yet been
attempted ?"
"NOne whatever. Six stations have been estab-
lished on the proposed line across the Isthmus
but no houses have been built, and the men are
living in tents. Tie rainy season has begun, and
the men will soon be driven out of their tents by
the storms. The truth is, it does not look 10 me as
though De Lesseps ever intends to dig canal
there. He estimates that it will cost 500, 100000,
when everybody else who knows anything about
such matters says it will cost ten times that
sum- that he canal will be finished in ten years. and
that in the meantime people who buy stock shall
receive five per cent interest upon its par value.
Thus interest alone will add from five to forty per
cent to the cost of the canal. But don't believe
any canal will be built there. De LessepS great
diplomat but poor inancier; and if he really in
tends in good faith to dig a canal think he will
fail.

Notwithstanding the great political
services of Senator COnkling to the Republican
party in the late presidential campaign, he is not
as much as consulted as to any of the Federal ap-
poinments in his own State, while one of his most
nveterate enemieS-one Judge" Robertson who
was at one time county judge in one of the rural
counties of the State of New York-is aD-
pointed to the collectorship as a mark
of the contempt OF the President toward
Mr.. Conkling. No change has been demanded
in the New York collectorship at this
time, all the leading merchants and The presidents
ofeveIy national bank i'll New York City protesting
against this man RObertson'S appointment. The
present collector, General Merritt was q gallant
soldier in the Union service, and has two years
more to serve. Why, then, remove him? That is
an inquiry that very naturally arises in every
Stalwart Republicans mind. If any change was
demanded in this Office, should tnDt be made upon
the recommendation of the Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the State of New York
of the business men of the great city for which
the appointment is made? The United States
Senate vii! doubtless hold an executive session
next week. The Committee on Commerce will
dou':tless report unfavorably upon the Robertson
appointment, an animating debate will occur, and
ifthe nomination is rejected whose fault will it be
thus to ignore and Snub the representative Repub
lcans of New York? Certainly not Mr.. Conklings
but that of his enemies aud the foes of Republican
union and harmony, a small faction of boting
New York politicians, who are up early and late to
some political mschiefOr other. We are for union
and harmony in Republican councils everywhere,
not only in New York and Indiana. but in Ohio
and Michigan. Ifsuch an obnoxious appointment
as that of Robertson made by the President in
Michigan would our political brethren look upon
it with any more favor than the New Workers do -?
Most certainly not.-4Hcgan (Nich.J Journal Friday,

THE remarks of Judge Smell in the re-
cent case of girl arrested for enticing
prostitution by policeman who had laid
aside his uniform that he might more
easily act the decoy will be commended
by all right-thinking persons, Our police
force has enough upon its hands to attend
TO its legitimate business of guarding
property and conserving the peace with
out acting as special detectives for the
purpose of entrapping unfortunate
women, driven, perhaps, by absolute want
into sacrificing that which they should
hold sacred to obtain bread. God pity
them! Their lot is hard enough without
being " run in" by a policeman, dressed
in citizens clothes, SO that he may the
more readily play the part of sneak

The President and virginia Republicans.

Some of the Repu blican leaders in Vir-
ginia still refuse to ccalesce in the movement in
that State against the Bourbons. Jorgensen is the
leader Of this class. He and Dczendorf called upon
the President again few days ago and protested
against Fed eral recognition of the Readiusters.
The Pr osident read them severe lecture. He told
Jorgensen that his refusal to go into the amalga-
m alton movement was simply aiding the Bour-
bons that under the circumstances every vote
cast for straight Republican ticket was one ballot
for the Democrats that if the Republicans insisted
upon a triangular fight they would simply divide
the anti Bourbon forces and give them the State
by plurality. The liberal movement must be
encouraged and helped on against a common

Encircled by roun d. dimpled arms, sweetly bare,

A-takng it off for The night
There's pair Of brown eyes rather sleepy, its true
Red cheeks that outTival the peaches in hue;

Bent hair pins tween teeth pearly white.
There's futter of white angel wings, suppose;

Then darkness-a ghost kneeling down by the hcd

A SOUTHERN United States Senator made mis-
take few days ago in referring to sheet pub
ished at Sacramento, in this State, as O Repubi-
can paper" The sheet itself says it "ls not
subservient party organ" This is true. 1t is not
subservient to any party or to any principle. In
the interest of its owners it has violently defended
the most extreme State Rights doctrines. This GER
tainly takes it out of the pale of the Republican
party. IfGeneral Burnside had been as well in
formed US Senator Miller he might have informed
the Senate that the sheet represents the interests
of the Central Pacific Railroad corporation, and
that it has no rpolicy-San Francisco Chronicle
The paper referred to by the Chronicle
is the Sacramento (Cal.) Record Union. 1t
is Republican in Republican years, and
Democratic in Democratic years, and
