The following Is a eopv of a protest whlrh was presented last evening In the Fifteenth Ward Convention, but for some reason was not permuted to be read: The undersigned protest agiilnst the nomination of Dr. William W. Jiiirnell as the candidate of ttie t -publican part v of this ward for the Select Council : k Itecause, It. i)urlnar the whole progress or the war against rebellion he was In active co-operation with the Democrat ir; purtv, by whom he was elected by the City Councils a Director of (Jirard College, a member of the Chicago Cotiveutioii, and a Trustee of the City (ias Works, In which latter capacity lie was remarkable for the bitterness with which he pursued those In the employ of the Trustees who were loyal to the Government. 2. Kecause, as a member of the Chicago Conven tion, after the war against the Hebelllon had been In progress more than lour years, he voted "that the war was a failure; Unit the administration of Lin coln was opposed to public liberty and private right, and that justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demanded a change." 3. Hecanse, altogether Dr. Hurnell came to this country after he hail reached manhood, he has already held public office during nearly the whole time since Ms naturalization (If indeed he be a natu ralized citizen), while there are thousands of citizens quite as Intelligent and deserving of coulldeuce vrho have never held public oitlce. 4. Hecau.se his nomination Is an Insult to the memory of the honored dead who gave their lives to save the country from the control of his late politi cal friends, and to the living heroes who carry scars received in defense of the flag of the Vnion. 8. Because we believe an overwhelming majority of Republican voters of the ward will reject his nomination as one not St to be made. Thomas W. Price, (inounK F. Lewis.

The bo ird says It carefully observed the peneral bearing, tone, nnd air of nil connected with the Institu tion, whether on or off duty. During their so journ at Annapolis they critically examined the buildings and grounds, nnd were convinced that the institution is carried on with the greatest thoroughness and regularity. Many Improvements have been made, and 13,1 acres additional have been added to the grounds by purchase, at a cost of sixty-five thousand dollars. The amount of money expended on the Academy since the war for building pur poses amounts to two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

He Is on Another Tnck YVhnt be Snv ofthe In (liuiiM nnd the Pacific Railroad. From the A nti-Htavery Standard. All hall and farewell to the Pacific Railroad. The telegraph tells us that the Indians have begun to tear up the rails, to shoot passengers and con ductors on this road. We see great good In this. At last the poor victim has found the vulnerable spot iu his tyrant. "Thank (iod Ame.-lca has resisted," cried Lord Chatham. Our feeling is the same. For seventy years and more the Indian has begged this great nation to attend to his wrongs. His cries have been unheard. Ruthless and unheeding, wo have trampled him down. To-day the worm turns and stings us. Last year Indians destroyed locomotives and shot conductors. Timid IJurant forbade tho telegraph wires to repoit the fact. He trembled for lcs road. To-day in,uno warriors on the war path a thousand miles of exposed road; this railway the pot play thing of the American people! Would our words could reach every Indian chief. We would tell him, lay down your gun. but allow no rail to lie between Omaha and the mountains. "The accursed code" i O'Connell's best weapon, said Nhe'l. The Pa-ille Railway Is the Indian's Alabama. Every blo.v struck on those rails Is heard round the globe. Haunt that road with such dangers that none will dare use it. Some men may think us needlessly aggressive. No, citizenship, they may say, would be'a better remedy. Yes, by-nnil-by. At present citizenship means littie. Heaven forbid that we should betray the Indian to such protection as "citizenship" gives' to the Georgia negro and loyalist. No, we are thankful the Indian has one defense the negro never hail. He is no citi zen, and bus the right to make war. Well may he use that last right, and never yield it till "citizen ship'' means something more than it does now. An Abolitionist may well glory In these red men. When. In ISC'), General Sanborn 'carried to the Senii noles the news of emancipation, they instantly set their slaves free. Hut, more Just than we, they pro ceeded at once to divide their possessions with' them fairly shared with them their pension money, and last winter, in Washington, were specially earnest to secure such a teacher as these emancipated men would prefer. When two or three years ago Sher man's Commission met the Indians, the Navajoes refused to come into conference unless their women could be admitted on equal terms with themselves to share the debate. Could these men be persuaded to undertake, for a few years to come, the task of re eonsti notion! What a saving of time! What a saving of honor! Earnestly do we wish that this nation could rise to the level of once doing an act of Justice from pure and simple motives of honesty and duty. Hut it does not seem as If this level would ever be reached iu our day. In default of that, we rejoice to see the na tion scourged to its duty. Long and weary were the years of blood and misfortune that finally broke us into willingness to emancipate the black. May our stubboruess yield sooner and easier In this matter .f the Indians. It seems probable. Hy the time Con gress assembles again, we think its members will be ready as they never have been to listen on this topic. The sad and ponderous ilocnment8 stored in the Capitol will, at last, be read, and we shall learn that a nation by Its own confession always In the wrong, must seek some other path out of Its trouble than by sending butchers to waste treasure and blood in the vain eltort to "exterminate" a braver race than ours. Wo spent a hundred millions really llfty confessedly to "exterminate and remove'' the Semlnoles f-'oin Florida. Put there are everglades In Florida to-dav where no white man euters, and which the Seminole r.till holds. If this be the ease in Florida with a thousand Semlnoles, how likely are we to "extermi nate'' twenty thousand such, spread over the bound less West? Sherman is bartering the glories of At lanta for deleat, utter and sluuneful and we'l deserved, on the prairies. Wknuki.i. Pmixirs. YE X S V L V AM A PO LITICS. Why IJenry Wont to VnNhinton Yesterday. The X. V. Heralds Washington correspondent writes yesterday : Geary, of Pennsylvania, arrived hern last night, and to-day had a private interview with the Presi dent on the coming fall election 111 that State. Geary is anxious to be re-elected, but there is considerable opposition to htm among some prominent Republi cans in Pennsylvania, such as Alexander McClure. Not a few of the Federal olllcx'-holders in the Key stone Stale have been Induced to take si les with JlcClurc and his friends against Geary's nomination, on the ground that he cannot carry the State, mid that they are bound to go for some man who will lead the party to victory, and thus sustain Grant's administration. It is understood that Geary's mission here was to complain to the President of the conduct or tnese general oliiceholders. unary assured the President of his popularity iu Pennsylvania, and Inti mated that he was about the only man who could cany the State next fall against the Democrats. Grant is not inilill'erent to the success of the Repub lican ticket ut the coming fall elections, but whether hi! win make the naughty Federal oliiceholders in Pennsylvania rally to the support of Geary agiiinst inuneiii remains to ne seen. Thus far lie has only given his usual promise, viz: "To look into the matter." Tills is a phrase invariably used by the Pr.) slilent on all occasions where his mind is not fully uiaue up.

Washington, June 10 A telegram dated at Baltimore, from gentlemen connected with tho railroad company, says only one person was seriously hurt, and he not dangerously.

Reports prevail that the Secretary of tuo Trea sury lias changed his policy of selling gold and buying bonds; but on Inquiry at tho Treasury Department, there is authority for saying the reports are untrue. There Is no indication of such change, nor is it true that any gold has been sold or bonds purchasud outside of the present policy. The Naval Academy Further Extrnrtafrom the Hour it ut Visitor's Kcnort. The Hoard of Visitors of the Naval Academy also express gratification at the successful ex amination in gunnery and admirable target firing with the heavy pins of the Santec. They condemn tho text-Wook on steam used at the Academy (Main and Brown upon the steam en gine) It being a work prepared in England, and think that further efforts should bo made to carry into effect the spirit of the net of Congress pro viding for the education of Naval Constructors and Engineers, eo that Cadet Engineers bo ad mitted to the Naval Academy during the year. Out of nearly four nuudrcd students and of ficers, there has been an average of only about two per cent, excused from duty by reason of ill health. '1 hey also reeommetd that the prin cipal naval oillcers of the Academy's stall bo kept on duty for four years instead of tliree, with a change of one-fourth of the detail an nually. It is persisted that the Academy may soon furnish annually more oillcers than the diminished navy requires in time of peace. They would, nevertheless, maintain at least tho pre sent number of Btudcuts. Iu case of a surplus above the immediate necessities of the service, the rules restraining resignations might bo re laxed, and some plau might be devised of giving an indefinite leave of absence without pay, sub ject to a call to duty in an emergency.
