impress one as being man of any great force
of character. George 0. Jones, of New York,
who is heading the opposition to Butler, is
portly gentleman, of evident intelligence
and shrewdness and the discourteous treatment
accorded HIM by the convention, apparently did
not greatly disturb him. Lee Crandall, Of Wash
ington, secretary Of the committee, was very
active in the proceedings and did a great deal OF
work. He smiled rather uneasily when null
titude of Kisses greeted his suggestion that he he
appointed one of the temporary secretaries. He
survived, however. Charles Roberts, of Texas,
a young man and a forcible speaker, was promi
nent in all the debates, and the majority was
generally with him.
Other leading members of the convention are
Mr.. Powers of Massachusetts; Gov. Begole of
Michigan Charles Armstrong of Plttsburg and
W. W. Hubbell, of Virginia.
A mistake was made in the selection OF Gen.
Tyler for permanent chairman, as he had neither
the experience nor parliamentary knowledge
necessary for the position. During the greater
portion of the afternoon he was totally unable
to control the delegates and the noise and tur-
bulence displayed ratified" him perceptibly, 1t
was "a genuine relief, both to him and the
convention, when General Weaver took the
chair. AS was expected would be the case
the great fight in the convention was over the
question whether or not the full vote of a State
in accordance with the official call, should be
cast by the delegation, whether or not it be com
plete, and in settling this there was much ex-
element. At times a dozen men would be on
the floor, each yelling at the top Of his voice,
while the presiding officer raped vainly for
order. Innumerable questions of privilege and
order were raised, but no rulings were given
and for about an hour and half confusion
reigned supreme. Occasionally, some gentleman
who was popular personally would be allowed
to speak briefly and then the trouble and noise
would be resumed. Men yelled themselves
hoarse in their efforts to get a hearing, and
considerable bad temper was displayed Finally
the chair arbitrarily ruled that the motion for
the previous question had been sustained, and
that the proposed amendment permitting the
full vote of each State to be cast was lost and
paid no attention to the excited demands for a
division vote by States The adoption of the
report of the committee by an overwhelming
majority was positive victory for the Butler
men, and rather crushing defeat for Mr. Jones,
of New York, and his scattering follow ers.
After this was settled the convention was com
paratively orderly and business was transacted
with more expedition. A pleasing relief to the
monotony Of the proceedings the speeches
of Mrs. Bristol and Mrs Haggart, both of which
were enthusiastically applauded

At the beginning of the afternoon session,
while awaiting the report Of the committee on

force and logical effect. She alluded only Incl

THE national Greenback convention, yester
day, was an extremely noisy, turbulent and
unbusiness-like mob under the utterly inef
fcient management of Mr.. Tyler, the
temporary presiding officer. By ruling
that had no symptom of common sense in it,
he delayed the work of the convention several
hours, and so prolonged the scene of confusion
as to force the permanent organization off UNI
til very nearly o'clock in the evening.
When General Weaver, of Iowa, took the
chair, change came over the spirit of the
convention, so that it was entirely different
assemblage. Dignifed, clearheaded, able,
prompt and impartial, Gen. Weaver handled
the convention like veteran, and its work
proceeded smoothly and with satisfaction I'M
der his guidance The night session was
largely given over to speeches, simply to fill
in the time, awaiting the report of the
committee on resolutions. This was mere
matter of form; for it was evident from the
very beginning that the nomination of Gen.
Butler was a foregone conclusion. The fight
was made upon that question over the report
of the credentials committee The contest was
bitter one, but when it was over the anti

Among the delegates present were a number
of women, and several of them made addresses

say that these lady delegates were an honor to
speeches made by women, particularly those
of Mrs Bristol of New Jersey, and Mrs Todd,
of California, were among the best things ut
tered during the day.

A BOOMERANG.

The st. Louis Republican makes the
following very strong assertions about
the respect paid to the Civil Service law
by Republican leaders, who express re.
greet at the defeat of Mr.. Pendleton:
The Republicans are deeply moved
that Mr.. Pendleton, the putative author
OF the Civil Service Reform law, should
have been defeated in Ohio. Within the
past few days the Chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee of Indiana, in
violation of the letter and spirit Of that
law, made his demands on the Indianans
in the public service to contribute money
to carry that State at the approaching
elections. In no part of this wide land
has one Republican, who has one single
dollars worth Of patronage to dispense,
paid or offered to pay the slightest at
tention to the law for the reform of the
Civil Service. From President Arthur
to the smallest county official every one
is . partisan and puts his party interests
before the public interests. And this is
true of the Civil Service Commission it.
self and every agent it has authorized to
act in it's name and behalf. 1t amounts
to the very sublimity Of impudence,
therefore, for these people to sit up and
whine and groan over the defeat of Sem
ator Pendleton on the ground Of his
connection with the reform of the Civil

OHIO CANDIDATES..

The San Francisco Call has no faith In
the future of Ohio as the mother OF
Presidents. The signs, at present, are
certainly not favorable to a Buckeye
candidate on either ticket this year.
SAYS our contemporary:
The tenacity with which some politi-
clans cling to the idea that the OHIO line
OF the Presidents is not yet run out re-
ceiyes an illustration almost every week.
The notion seems to be shared as well cy
the Democrats as the Republicans
When Hoadly was elected Governor re-
Gently he was at onoe made TO pose as .
Democratic Presidential candidate. 1t
was said of him that he was the friend
and associate OF Tilden, a that the
mantle of the latter would surely
descend upon him. Bat recently Hoadiy
has been thrown in the shade by Payne,
who has Just been elected to the Senate
of the United States. 1t is only IN Ono
that a man chosen to the Senate becomes
Immediately available for the Presidency.
The notion cannot be traced to any other
source except that a Senator elect
James A. Gar6eld-four years ago was
elected to the Presidency.
tits supposed, perhaps, that what hap
pened once to the Republicans may hap
pen a second time to the Democrats.
There is in addition in the background
the rugged form of Thurman, who,
though not frequently spoken OF as a
possible candidate in his own State, has
certainly a following in other places.
There appears to be a corresponding
activity among the Republican politicians
in the same States. John Sherman. it is
thought, is figuring to secure the nomina-
tion for his brother, the General. Per
haps he is wise enough not to aspire to
the place himself. He had about 100
votes in the last National Convention,
because he was Secretary of the Treasury,
and the weak administration OF Hayes
had no choice. The number OF dark
horses that are browsing around Ohio,
besides, is very large.

CIVIL RIGHTS.

A very troublesome question agitates
the British residents in India. The rela-
tive rights of the native Indians and the
English are In dispute. Snail the latter
be subject to civil and criminal courts IN
which native Indians are judges and
Jury? A bill is now before the British
Parliament which, If it becomes a law,
will establish such a system, making the
native and the foreigner equal In prlyl-
lege before the courts of the country.
A dispatch from Calcutta says: "A ma
jority of the natives In British India dis
approve the concordat that has been ar
ranged between the Indian Government
and the Anglo-Iudian Association, where
by no native, except . District Judge,
shall exercise criminal jurisdiction owe
European British subjects, who shall be
entitled to be tried by a majority OF Eu-
ropean jurors. The concordat also con-
fers the right in non-jury districts, even
in cases triable by a European District
Magistrate, thereby securing the princi.
pie that the right of Europeans shall be
safely guarded by a verdict OF men OF
their W race. The opposition OF the
natives to the concordat is based upon
the ground that it will cause a constant
failure of justice, and create rights
which British subjects never possessed
or claimed, and that similar rights are
not to be given to natives.-New York
Observer.
Such are the mild regulations against
which the native Indians complain.
What would they do if treated as the
Democrats of South Carolina were at the
late trials.
Republicans trumped up charges
against them for election frauds; Repub'
lican Marshals arrested them; Republi
can Judges and attorneys tried them
and Republican and Greenback witnesses
and jurors declared them mot guilty
Such are the chances meeted out to Dem
ocrats in the Federal Courts of tbt
South, where it is deemed necessary tt
convict the accused of corrupt practices
in elections, of perpetrating ''blood,
outrages against the Republican voters,
in order TO give some semblance of trutf
to the ''bloody shirt" canards SO indus
triously manufactured and circulated tx
fire the Northern heart.

The denial of the colored members OF

laration of the school-boy that ne had just
seen a thousand squirrels up one tree
and who finally reduced his estimate 10
the point that he had only seen hll-O
shake. Perhaps Mr.. Wise might modify
many other statements he made WINE
on the witness stand. He was evidently
mad and excited, and was hardly respoh-
sible for what he said. Mr.. Wise Is lar
above the average of the witnesses exam

himself before the country, and has GER
tainly lost the respect of both the white
and cOlored people of Virginia. what ne
needs now is vindication. Let him resign

a reelection. There is no doubt, should
he do so, that they would give him all the

New York city is about to have new
source of trouble. The body Of suicide
was tished out of Central Park reservoir
the other day, and il was estimated that
the people of the metropolis had been
drinking water in which this corpse had
lain for three or four days. The reservoir
is so admirably situated and adapted to
the shutting off of the mortal coil that it
may become popular for this purpose. 1t
seems that something must be done to
prevent the water from being cOntaminat-
ed by suicides who will not take the trou-
Bile before jumping in to battle themselves
and put on clean apparel. 1t is respect
fully suggested that the city might con-
struct public drowning pool at the foot
of the hill, or place an officer at the reser-
voir with supply Of car tickets, so that
those who are tired of life can get free
transportation to the river.
