Shipping Interests Seriously Affected.

constantly arising at the Treasury De-
partment under the operations of the
Dingley shipping bill, and action on them
is delayed because of the absence of the
Commissioner of Navigation. The de-

Patten, the gentleman appointed to that
Office, and it is not now known whether

action on them is important, they have
been referred to Mr.. Dingley, the author
Of the bill. for such suggestions as he may
deem proper. The business of the new
division created by this bills represented
TO be most urgent, and the delay cOnse-
quent on the existing state of affairs is
said to be seriously affecting the shipping
interests of the country.

The Survivors Rapidly Regaining Their
Old-Time Health and Strength.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Rear Admiral
Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy,

Commander Sehley, dated at st. John, N.
F., July 81: ''The Surgeon controls all
matters affecting diet and diversion of
Lieut.. Greedy and his party. Acting
under his advice Lieut.. Greely and his men
only leave the ship when he prescribes it.
The men are always required to be on
board at 8 O'Clock at night. Lieut..
Greedy is spending a day or two in the
quiet enjoyment of Consul Muller's house,
under the surgeons counsel. All of the
party are well and gaining strength.
Lieut.. Greely has never complained of
intrusion. The surgeons are especially
careful and attentive to everything
touching their health"
THE DESTINATION UNCHANGED.
An effort was made by Gen. Hazen to
have the Greely party brought to Bos-
ton instead or Portsmouth, n. H., as had
been decided upon, on the ground that it
would be more agreeable to the members
of the party, and more convenient to their
relatives and friends to welcome them.
The proposition was laid before Rear Ad-
miral Nichols and Secretary Lincoln.
who decided that there was not
sufficient reason for changing
the destination. They will therefore pro-
ceeG direct to Portsmouth, according to
the orders to Commander Schley. Secre-
tary Lincoln had a conference with Gen.
Hazen this morning as to the disposition
of the bodies of the dead of the expedition.
1t is probable that they Will fe taken to
Governors Island, N. Y, and placed in
charge of Maj. Gen. Hancock until de-
cision shall be reached as to their final
disposition.

The employees, at a meeting to-day, ap-

the condition of affairs at a meeting this
evening. The strikers denv that three

that as soon as certain buildings are COM

demand for nine hours will join their col

thought that they could succeed, nOtwith-

The Republican nomination has for the time
superseded all other issues, by raising the
question Of Official honesty. This question
can't be avoided except upon the plea that the
official character of the candidate need not be
considered, and that in order to secure the
party the present members Of the party ought
to vote for any candidate who has been regu-
larly nominated. This is plea beyond which
party madness cannot go. Acquiescence in it
would require the surrender of the self
respect Of every voter. There could
be no candidate SO unfit that this
plea would not demand his support, and Re-
publican success justified by an argument
which defies public conscience, would be the
overthrow of the vital principles of the party,
and show that the spirit and character which
created lis great traditions are rapidly per-
ishing.
THE REAL ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
: Upon the practical questions Of the tariff
and finance, and other questions upon which
both parties are divided within themselves,
we also are divided in opinion. We shall
vote, therefore, IN the choice of Representa-
tives and other officers according to our indi-
vidual opinions of their political views and
their personal character. Divided on other
questions we are united in the conyie-
ton that the foundation of the Office
and the holder should be pure, and
that the highest Office in the country
should be filed by man of absolutely un-
suspected integrity. As there is no distinctive
issue upon public policy presented for the
consideration OF the country, the character Of
the candidates becomes of the hig hest import
ance to all citizens who do not hold that partv
victory should be secured at anv cost
While the Republican nomination presents a
party whom we cannot support, the Demo-
cratic party presents one whose name is the
synonym of courage and honesty, and Of ad-
ministrative political reform. He has dis
charged every!oficial trust with sole regard to
the public welf are and with jnst disregard Of
mere partisan and political advantage which:
with the applause and confidence OF both
parties, have raised him from the chief execu-
tive administration Of great city to that Of a
great State

FOR BUSINESS.

We are assembled to-day to confer together
and to consider what practical action we shall
reasonable men we desire to act together; but
we shall not, l think, make any attempt to
demand pledges or to bind consciences. What
ever is done here-a man Is free to follow his
own course-no pledges will be asked, and
certainly none will be given. For myself do
not hesitate to say that the defeat of Blaine
should be cOmpassed by all honorable means.
1t seems to me that the cause of good govern
ment. of pure politics, of American character,
requires it to be done. There is but one way
to do it, and that way must be obvious to us
all. We desire first of all President that is
incOrruptble, and il. beside that, he is able
and independent, so much the better. We
have not far to go to find a man who is all
this. 1t has been said recently by some of the
supporters of Blaine that no Democratic
President was ever able to resist the pressure
OF the marty managers.
