eral Grant was started out on a tour around
the world. By the aid of consuis and in in
Jsters at various points, who"were parties to
the scheme, grand ovations and reception
were gotten up for tho benefit of theex-Presi

tho General who brought the war to a close
and the returned ex President, not knowing
that in so doing they were but canying out
the programme of the third term managei
in starting a Grant boom. In all the great
cities his reception was hearty, and when he
reached Philadelphia, the point from which
he started two years before, the demonstra

opportunity. He could have endeared him
self to the whole people by the utterance of
a single sentence. "I am not a candidate
for President. Tho unwritten law of the
land recognizes nd third term," Did he say
that? No, he kept silent attbe command of
his managers, and though he never said he
was a candidate ho turned his young and
foolish son loose, and be proclaimed it Irom
'the house tops. Ulysses S. Grant sought
the nomination for the third term. lie stale

can people as the great soldier who led their
armies to victory (because no other General
was permitted to do it) but now he will go
down to future ages as tho man who sought
a crown, at the expense of the nation's life.
Like Cieser, he was ambitious, and Blaine
and Sherman and several other Brututcs
ilew him.
The Democrats of South Carolina have
been consistent and trua to theirjecord. In
their last state convention they nominated
for all the principle State offices the men
who figured promptly in the butcheries ot
uegros in the campaign of 1870, or who sub
sequently played prominent parts in the at
tempt to steal the Electoral votes of tbat
stato for Samuel J. Tilden. They are tho
men who ought to reap the fruits of Demo
cratic supremacy in South Carolina, liamji
ton and Butler already have their reward in
the shape of teats in the United States Sen
ate, and the other leaders of the red bliirtej
ruffians will now come in for tbeir share of
the plunder. South Carolina ie a Republi
can state, but as only a very small portion
of the Republicans are allowed to vote, the
Democrats will of course continue in power.

Illaine, Sherman and K Imunds, and the sup

to secure the nomination for their favorite,

He requested all others than members of the
convention lo withdraw from that part of

to Ohio immediately from New York. Af
ter considerable of a etrugglo with the ru
dimentary branches, young Garfield enter
ed Williams .college, Massachusetts at the
age of 23 and two years later in 1850, he
graduated carrying off one of the honors
In early life he connected himself with th
Disciples or as it is commonly called the
Campbellite church, a religious dennraina
tioo quite numerous in that neighborhood
and though not ordained, was recognized
as a minister ot that faith, preaching
to several congregations In the neighbor.
hood of his borne. In his struggle to get
an education, it is generally believed that
the members of the denomination who
could afTord to do so volunteered assis
tan co to him, with a view to thereby bet
ter qualify him to discharge his ministerial
duties and advocate the doctrlnesof the de-
nomination.
During the period of Garfield's absence
at college a email academic establishment
was built up at Hiram, Ohio, called Hiram
Institute, under the auspices and manage
meot of the Disciples church. Upon re.
ceiving his diploma he returned to Ohio
and at once assumed the Professorship
Latin and Greek in this struggling institu
tlon. Two years later ho was made Presi
dent of the establishment, and in both
capacities he labored assiduously and in
telligently to advance the interests and pro
mote the growth of the institute.
As sympathy with his surroundings brought
him witbin the pale of the Disciples church
be also joined the popular clamor of the
Western Reserve against slavery. His first
prominent Identity with politics was in 1859
when he was.cboscn to the Ohio State ben
ate from the district comprising Portage and
Summit counties. At the breaking out o:
the rebellion he entered the army as a Col
onel of the Forty-second regiment Ohio vol
unteers, and was speedily promoted to the
rank of Brigadier General. In the fall of
1662 he was nominated by the republicans of
the Nineteenth Congresssonal district and bis
election followed without much opposition.
He entered '-'ongress in December, 18C3, and
has served during each succeeding Congrens
as a renresrntative of the same district. In
the exposures of the Credit Mobiliertho ex

meot against Mr. Garfield tbat ne secured
the re-nominaiion oniy aiicr a ciiwo cuttiest,
and at tho election his voto fell several
thousand behind the strength of his party.
In 1870 and 1878, though he succeeded in
tbrowinc tho mantle of obscurity over this
and other charges which have from time, to
time been made against his Integrity, ho has

Hilton.
Oen. Hancock.
I wish to mention some reasons why Gen
Hancock eeems to be the most available
candidate of his party:
1st, He is generally known and esteemed
throiiirhout the whole country. The differ
ent states sometimes have a very good ma:
thuy want to honor and immediately re
commend him for President. If every State
should set up their bet man for President
perhaps we would not get any at all.
2nd. He is known to be a Union man
and all would put confiJetfce in him. Hi
would probably unite the different sections,
better than any other caudiJate; indeed h
seems to have no enemies anywhere.
3rd. He has never sought the office. There
are men in both parties who spend a pood
bit of money for their own election. The
people ought not to countenance this. "Let
the people choose the men, and not the men
the office." Perhaps Mr. Tilden is spoken
of as a candidate, more than any other man
He is not as popular as he was four years
ago. It is doubtful if the South would give
him their vote at all. They have no confi
dence in his success. They prefer a Union
General, and believe Hancock to be an hon
est. eood man, such as they want,
This speaks well for the South, and con
tradlcts some of the reports of leading radi
cals. I think the Republican party would
like to have Tillen nominated, thinking
would be easy to beat him. It is a wonder
he does not withdraw his name from th
list. One woull think that with his wealth,
and being in poor health, he would prefer
life of ease, trying to improve his health
instead of doiug the very thing likely tJ in
jure or destroy it. Probably he is led on by
his friends, or those he considers as such
Rjraeraber. Gen. Hancock is not a man to
extend the term of office. If this party hope,
or expect to succeed, they must all unite in
the tame candidate; they must ba willing to
give up a favorite, for the present, and give
their influence to the most available one. It
is to be hoped that this whole party will
strive fjr the eame one; and that he will re
ceive an overwhelming majority, so that
none can doubt that he is elected.

A special dispatch from Quebec says: The
greatest excitement was created hero when
it became known that a discovery had been
made of Cuban filibusters, nnd that a vessel
bad been seized ou her way down the river
from Montreal to Havana with a large
quantity of arms and ammunition for the
Cuban insurgents, supposed to be hidden
away beneath her cargo. Count de Premio
Real, consul general In Canada for Spain,
and Judge Chanveau, with Collector of Cus
toms Dunscomb, were noticed all the after
noon upon the wharves, and about eight
o'clock were seen to hall a tug and put off
in'great haste for two ships which were towed
towards the sea from Montreal by the
tug Hercules namely the Atalya and the
Moselle. The depai ting vessels were over
taken with difficulty just before reaching
tli9 Isle of Orleans, when It was found that
both bad deck loads one of grain, the oth
er of timber. Darkoixs so soou came on
that much search was impossible ; howev
er the Atalya was detained and two guar
dians p'aced on board. Ibo grain cargo
will be tborougly overhauled, when doubt
less the expected discovery of arms will be
made. Canada has no desire for more Ala
bama claims, and the official aid rendered
tbo Spanish consul general In this case is
in sccord with a proclamation issued In
August, 1872, with special reference lo
Cuba, under the regime of Lord Dufferin.
Count de Premio Real has acted with
much ingenuity and diplomacy In this im
portant business. Already aware that an
insurgent leader named Castro and some of
his friends bad come on to Montreal he
learned through the Dominion detective
agency that the Atalaya had receiyed ou
board at tbat city 500,000 cartridgos and a
quautity of fire arms, for Cuba, and was to
proceed to sea at once. Meanwhile, on
Sunday one of the Insurgents, thinking to
divert from the Atalaya the attention of the
consul-General until she was safe at Bea,
came here and called on the Count, pre
senting telegrams purporting to be from
a well kuown Spanish loyalist in Cuba, and
representing himself as a secret emissary
intrusted with the surveilance of Castro and
his party, The consul General Ingeniously

Chicago, Juno 9. Ine national green
back-labor convention was called to order at
12:30 o'clock, by F. B. Dewecs, of Pennsyl
vania, chairman of the national committee.
who asked "It ev. Mr. Ingalls, of Dcs Moines,
to open the proceedings with prayer.
Mr. Ingalls referred to the fact that prayer
had been offered in New York for the two
great natiooal conventions at Chicago nnd
Cincinnati, omitting any reference to the
great greenback convention, and said:
"We come to iiiee, U Lord, on our own
hook." Applause. He asked heavenly
direction in the convention's proceedings,
His prayer was interrupted by applause am
cries of "Hear. Hear." and Amen."
Tho chairman then read the call for the
convention, acd then nominated Gilbert A
De La Matyr, of Indianapolis, for temporary
president. Ho was unanimously elected,
Charles II. Litchman, of Massachusetts, nu
Perry P. Maxsom cf Kansas, were appointed
temporary secretaries.
About 050 delegates, representing all tt
states of the Union, were present, aud nearly
1,000 spectators.
Chairman De La Matyr, on taking the
chair, explained the principles of tbo parly
and spoke of General Garfield's reference iu
cougrcs to the Weaver resolution as tn
lad spawn of a dying faction, as a false fciui
lie and au untruo statement. .
Tho convention then proceeded to the ap
pointment of committees. During the call o
states.all of which except Oregon respondcd.a
delegate from New York moved that a paint
ing of tho late Zach. Chandler, conspicuous
over the stage, bo removed as obnoxious to
the fielings of tho convention. The chair
man ruled that the motion was out of order,
hut promised the removal of tho obnoxious
portrait
Unanimous consent was given to the read
ing of a memorial from thu Woniau s nation
suffrage convention. Several women del
egates are prescut in tbo convention.
While waiting for reports of committees
the couvention was addressed by Wallace
and Wtlght, of Cauada, on the currency
question, and by Denis Kearney on the re
publican nominees. He thanked God that
even the republican convention had the
grace to reject iniparialiim in the candida
cy of Grant. He prophesied that Garfield
in consequence of the weakness of the re
publican platform on the suljrct and his
record on the Chinese immigration bill,
would uot receive one third of the vote of
California.Nevada aud Oregon, while Blaine
would have polled twn-thlrds of the votes
of those states had he been nomiuated.
A strong anti-Chiuese resolution was of-
ferred and referred, wheu the couvention
arliourned until to-morrow morning. The
Pomerov faction resolved to disband and
merge itself into the regular organiza

In every Department, and propose lo distribute such bargains among

TAKK PARTICULAR XOTIlft :
We do not claim to have reduced everything, for there are certain
goods in such limited supply that we can scarcely meet the demand,
Such Goods Will Not Be Reduced. But outside of the.-ea
radical mark-down has taken place, and many goods that are helling
well are marked away down to insure their immediate clearance. The
opportunity to secure bargains is it very unusual one, and buyers of
Dry Goods the country over should promptly put in an appearance at
our house
All who need Dry Goods or who can be mduccd by the certainty of
saving, to anticipate their wants should visit us in person, li'rom
present indications the gopds will be sold too rapidly to insure in all
cases perfect satisfaction in tho filling of orders through tho Mail Or
der Department during the continuance of this great closing sale.
Discarding all sensational or exaggerated statements we throw upon
the market this immense stock of Dry Goods, determined to sell the
amount named at whatever sacrifice may be necessary to accomplish
object.
Our organization and our facilities for distributinsr larcro quantities
of goods are believed to be unequaled, but every effort will be made
to strengthen it mid increase its efficiency during this closing sale, so
that all who visit us may be waited on promptly and to their entire
satisfaction.
