AFTER THE CONVENTIONS ,
Now that the political Conventions have
been held, and party nominations made for
President and Vice President of the United
States, what, on a calm and candid survey
of the field, is the result and the prospect?
The Republican party came out square.
ly without intrigue, and presented the
names of GRANT and WILSON as their
standard bearers. Upon these men the
Republicans are united. Gen. Grant is
renominated because he is a tried servant
of the people, and has proved himself not
only true and faithful to the important
trusts imposed upon him, but has been
efficient and successful. Senator Wilson
has had more than thirty years experience
in the public service. He has been a hard
worker. He has been honest. Nobody
has ever hinted at a dishonest act on his
part, or charged him with any other mo
tive, in all his public life than that of a
purely honorable purpose to serve his coun
try faithfully. In this he has succeeded,
and as a just recognition of his labors he
has been selected for the second highest
official position in the gift of the people-
Out of the forty millions of people no two
better qualified men, for the positions,
could have been selected. Their election
is but simply a duty which the people owe
to themselves, in connection with the fu
ture peace, security and material prosperi
ty of the country.
Under the most favorable interpretation
of motives, what can be said for the Pre
sidential candidate of the opposition, and
for the integrity of purpose of those who
placed him in nomination at Baltimore ?
Horace Greeley has an almost world-wide
reputation. In the United States his name
has been a household word in almost every
family for thirty years. Co-equal in ex
tent with the knowledge of his name has
always been the conviction that be is one
of the most unreliable public men in the
Union. At one time he is an enthusiastic
Fonrierite; at another a Spiritualist. Again
he runs a saw-dust speculation under a
theory that he can furnish the world with
fuel from saw-dust. After drawing young
Vanderbilt and others into the scheme to
the extent of many thousands of dollars, it
is discovered that the saw-dust fuel is a
dead failure, and the project is abandoned
with the loss of the large amounts invest
ed. Then he is a secessionist, pressing the
Administration to let the Southern States
go out of the Union, and again urging a
:iot pursuit "On to Richmond" after them.
Lt short Mr. Greeley has, been almost
"every thing by turns and nothing long."
One of his aspirations, expressed by him
self and published in his paper and in his
biography was "that it might not be writ
ten upon his tombstone that he ever owed
anything to the Democratic party." And
now in perfect keeping with his proverbial
instability, he renounces his former politi
cal faith and submits to become the willing
tool and dupe of that same party ! Abne
gation so complete comes only of a weak
mind and vain conceit, and never without
creating mingled feelings of contempt and
pity for the individual in his self-imposed
degradation.
But while Greeley has abjured all his
former professions, and in the hope of ob
taining office has, Judas-like, betrayed his
friends and engaged in a conspiracy with
his former political enemies, how much
more revolting is the hypocracy of the
party a►ho have picked him up and accept
ed him as their willing tool in the effort
to work their way once more to the Gov
ernment crib 1 What a spectacle I Greeley,
Iferice Greeley of the New York Tribune,
at the head of the Democratic party; It
was in 1860 that the Democrats in the
city of Baltimore dressed up two young
men to represent Horace Greeley and a
negro wench, who rode through the streets
on mules, greeted with applause. Now
with similar applause, and with as little
love for the man, these same Democrats
have made of themselves mules, or asses,
to carry him into power ! Who has chang
ed ? Which the fool, and which the knave?
EDITOR
Were it not for the National disgrace
that must to some extent grow out of such
a deplorable case of abnep,ation, it would
be of small consequence to the Republicans
and to the country that the Democrats
have selected Greeley as their political head
and adviser. The act only shows the des
perate straits to which the party is driven
in its last stages of. dissolution. And the
only regret in connection with its death is
that it should have been bereft of its rea
son before it expired, and thus afforded the
London Times and other foreign journals
an opportunity of commenting upon the
insanity of the expiring party. The nom
ination of Greeley was no sooner announ
ced than the London Times declared in an
editorial that
"There never was exhibited a more flagrant in
stance of party demoralization. The Demociats
swallowed their opponent's platform and candi
dates, confessing that they had none of their own
to present. = . Nobody believes Greeley
could be President of the United States Icitti
mouths without making some terrible mistake.—
Discretion, prudence and temper requisite for the
proper performance of the functions of President
of the United States arc all wanting in Greeley.—
We cannot believe the American people will elect a
man who ie so deficient in every magisterial qual
ity."
Poor misled Greeley! Desperate De
mocracy ! Weak human nature! "Lead
us not into temptation."
But there is a brighter side to the pic
ture. The noise and nonsense witnessed
at Baltimore was not participated in by
the solid, sensible portion of the Demo
cratic party. They were not there. Nor
will they be found voting for Greeley, the
dupe of tlic demagogues.
All Democrats outside of the soreheads
and hungry ofiice•seekers are strongly op
posed to the election of Horace Greeley,
and will vote for Grant, or stay at home.
Again: All Democrats connected with
manufacturing, railroad, and other corpo
rations ; all Democratic capitalists, bond
holders, and heavy owners of real and per
sonal property are opposed to any change
in the present policy of the Administra
tion and prosperous condition of the coun
try, and not only prefer Grant to Greeley,
but prefer Grant to anybody else.
Yet again : The vast number of Dem
ocrats actively engaged in mercantile bu
siness,and in banks, banking and exchange,
in every State in the Union, seriously hope
that the financial policy and the tariffs on
importations may not be disturbed by
Political changes at the present time. Ev
erything relating to these is now well reg
ulated and running smoothly. Business is
prosperous, and they wish to let well
enough alone. They dread a change in
the Ildministration. They will not only
not vote for Greeley, but a large propor
tion of them will vote and throw their
influence for Grant. The safety of the
purse has, after all, much to do in shaping
public sentiment in the canvass; and pub
lie sentiment will produce more influence
on the final result of the campaign than a
thousand hollow, heartless Conventions
like that at Baltimore.

g€ 9,„ We found an aged gentleman, the
other day, seated in the midst of a score or
two of newspapers, the very picture of
weariness and fatigue, who had read the
proceedings of the Baltimore Convention,
at least twenty times over, read all the
correspondence from Baltimore and all the
comments, critical and otherwise, of the
Baltimore papers, for the purpose of find
ing a report, or at least some allusion, to
the speech which he was assured Hon. R.
M. Speer would make in favor of the no
mination of Mr. Greeley. But he could
find nothing; nothing but a motion to
amend that the States be called alphabeti
cally. This was all. No speech after so
much labored preparation. It was too bad.
The sweat came out in great drops upon
the old gentleman's intellectual brow. We
pitied the old man; but we could only re
fer him respectfully to Mr. Speer. He
alone could tell how it was he didn't make
the :speech and yet—lived ! There be
strange results in this world.
doer A Democrat, talking over the Con
gressional election, a few days since, said
it didn't make much difference to him who
was sent to Congress so that he got his
share of garden seeds. He thought the
present member understood the sowing of
seed broadcast very well. He, for his
part, wanted a garden seed man !

NEW ORLEANS, La., July 9, 1872.
DEAR JOURNAL :—I promised in my last from
Florida, that I would let you hear from me
when in this Southern metropolis. Well by
doing considerable "swing around the circle,"
I have landed, and now enjoy the brilliant
rays of the old Sol of "the sunny South." In
fact I am latterly of the opinion that I have
about as much of the "good thing" as consti
tutes under ordinary circumstances, the "too
much."
New Orleans was so-called by its French
founders, in honor of the Orleans House, once
powerful in France. It was founded by the
French Creoles, and its population number
to-day about 192,000, of a general mixture of
all nations, shades and colors. The chief pro
ducts of the soil, upon which the city stands,
was frogs, snakes and alligators, the former,
probably, had a tendency to intice the French
men to locate here. Grain was from the first,
grossly neglected by the populace,so that some
of the highest officials havenever been able to
exhibit a grain of common sense in the dis
charge of their official duties. The soil is of
two kinds, high and low ; from which circum
stance is supposed to have originated the two
phrases, "How is that for high ?" and "Lo, the
poor Indian," (Creoles I suppose). The cli•
mate is extremely southern, but northern
winds, when long drawn out, like norther pol
iticians, reach this city without difficulty, and
are very welcome visitors these hot days in
July.
The weather during the past week has been
very changeable, some days the mureury
would run up as high as 105° at certain hours
in the day, then again down to probably 55 or
GO° before sunset, iu fact has been very
pleasant at times for hours. Frequently a
fine breeze commences in the evening from
the direction of Lake Ponchartrain, which
blows generally dying the night, making it
comfortable, but woe to "human form divine"
if no breeze, the mosquitoes will torment the
life out of the weary sleeper; notwithstanding
bars, they will find their way through.
Money matters are rather at a low ebb in
this city, as well as throughout the south.
Everybody is complaining of the tightness of
money, and many merchants have their ware
houses and stores, full of goods and produce
laying for a more plenty in money circula
tion, while they are up north at some of the
fashionable watering places, neglecting their
business to the loss of commerce.
Cols. Scott and Forney, accompanied by
Gen. Dodge, arrived in this city, on the ad
inst., and had a magnificent reception by the
merchants of the Cotton Exchange. On the
4th inst., Col. Scott delivered an address to
the memers of the Cotton Exchange Associ
ation, at their rooms, which is highly spoken
of by the press of this city. The Times says,
"The remarks of Col. Scott deserve snore at
tention from his not being a mere theorist,
but posSessing practical knowledge, and view
ing the subject he discusses in a business
light. He has nothing to say about the trade
with the Indies, which is often the staple topic
in discussing the advantages of a Southern
railroad across the continent."
Col. Scott proposed to the citizens of New
Orleans if they would raise $2,000,000, he
would guarantee a railroad from New Orleans
to Shreveport, thence to the Pacific. They
are trying hard to raise the $2,000,000. Sub
scriptions are already in circulation, and in a
week or two they expect to have the amount
raised. This will open a line to the Pacific
that Uncle Sam will have no trouble getting
his mails through, owing to "blockades," and
"snow drifts," as was the case last winter on
the Union Pacific road. It will also open up
northern Texas to emigration, and as soon as
the Indians can be persuaded to abandon a
hostile life, and live in peace with their white
and black brethren, then it will be safe to go
to Texas, as it would not give these bandits
and Texas robbers such` a chance to commit
crimes, and blame it on the Indians. Bat I
am straying away from New Orleans, let me
return.
On Sunday last, I visited several churches,
being a kind of a Sunday ehristian I always
make it a rule to go to church on gunday, no
matter where T am. On this occasion at 11 a.
m., I went to the First Baptist church, situa
ted at the corner of Magazine and Second
streets, it is said to be the coolest in the city,
and in fact we suffered but little from heat.
The Rev. J. M. Lewis, delivered an eloquent,
forcible and impressive sermon, from the text
in Genesis, "And God said let there be light
and there was light."
The pastor spoke of the duty of the chris
tian to aid in diffusing the Gospel, bat they
must do it through the church. The church
was the great light that must send its rays
abroad, until the world was all bathed in
them.
In the afternoon and evening I visited Sun
day schools and other churches, which I find
in quite a flourishing condition, and many
scholars of all creeds and conditions present,
except the black, they have theirown churches
and Sunday schools.
It is almost an impossibility to find two
papers in this city, or in the Stale of Louisiana
that express the same sentiment on the politi
c cal question of the day. They all agree that
the Baltimore Convention should ratify the
Cincinnati nominees. I said all, but there is
one exception, and only one, The National
Republican, published in this city, it has Grant
and Wilson at its masthead, and for State
officers Kellogg and Antoian, while the New
Orleans Republican supports Greeley and
Brown, and Warmonth and:Pinchback. The
Picayune supports Greeley and Brown, and is
on the fence, just now, for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. The Times, the most influ
ential paper of the State, is kind of a neutral
sheet,but strong against Grant and Warmouth.
The Bee, (a French paper) of course is against
everything American, and not of French
origin. It has influence only with the French
population.
The subject of a change in the sugar cane
plant in Louisiana has been generally agitated
among leading sugar planters. They think
that the "old Louisiana plant" is being under
a process of degeneration. They have sent
agents to other sugar growing countries to
examine a species of sugar cane that it is
thought will thrive in Louisiana.
Louisiana I believe has more conventions
for political purposes, than any other State in
the Union, and like its public papers, no two
appear to agree upon the same system or pol
icy. Between the State and National politics,
they frequently get stuck. The most of these
parties deem it wholly inadmissible to think
of any sort of combination and bargain to
which Governor Warmouth openly orcovertly,
directly or indirectly would be a principal
party invested with the leading agency, while
on the other hand, they do not dream of car
rying the State election, much less the Na
tional election, against the re-united elements
of the Republican party, including the solid
negro vote, and bScked by all the political
influence of the Grant party. In short, the
opinion has been steadily gaining ground
among these deqvientions and clubs, as among
the mass of the nloce honest and intelligent
citizepts x thaim&ediate mission to which
they elhobltel . m ci e r t i is to subordi
nate, collateral Or N ult ol'tical considera
tions, on tke , heat ter .12os e, to the special
object ' of rbleuhirthe tate from the misrule
of Gov. Warmouth and sociates ' who hay
plunged 4\e StaV,lnto an ormous debt.
For several mohtlispitst the city railroad
companies, and dealerkin different parts of
the city, have been seriously annoyed by find
ing, from time to time, a large number of
counterfeit nickels in their cash boxes. Some
time since a detective was set to work, who
soon discovered the parties to be two Sicilians
operating at No. 107 Cypress street. They
were detected owing to the great amount of
antimony and block tin, purchased from
hardware stores. They were arrested, and
upon the premises were found several thous
and dollars of the bogus nickels, with dies,
moulds, etc., etc. It is hoped, and generally
supposed, that they the only parties, and that
the circulation will stop. They will be tried
at the - next term of court. The evidence is so
strikingly correct, that they will undoubtedly
be committed to prison for a term of years, as
the penalty is quite severe for offenses of this
kind.
The Board of Health's Secretary, of this city,
reports a total number of deaths, from all
causes, during last month to be 133, as fol
lows whites 75 ; blacks 49 ; mulattoes 9 ;
total 133. Of this number 76 were males, and
57 females.
The mortuary report for the week ending,
July 7th at 5 o'clock, p. m., shows 120 deaths
from all causes.
Mr. Editor, was you ever in this city? if
so you probably have some idea how exten
sively gambling is carried on here. Talk
about "Rogues and Rogueries" of New York,
they can't hold a candle to the little swindling
games in this city, and among the most ex
tensive gambling and swindling concerns in
the State of. Louisiana, if not the 'United
States, is "The Louisiana State Lottery," run,
worked and owned by Howard & Simmons,
who are thrmost notorious swindlers on rec
ord. Taking into consideration their facilities,
being legalized by the State laws, they swin
dle the poor out of the last dollar that they
possess, and if redress is sought through law,
"Oh its a legal concern, and no law can touch
them," and it so proves, from various cases
that I have heard of. The Lawyers, Judges,
Jurors, Mayor, Chief of Police and the entire
city government are under the influence of
these legal gamblers. This I have tested, this
I have found out to be true, and defy a denial,
as many cases are noticed from time to time,
by the National Republican, the only paper in
the city that dare attaok them, the other pa
pers are controlled by tho gamblers them
selves. It is a disgrace to the city, to the
State, yea the United States, to have laws en
acted legalizing a stupendeous system of
gambling and swindling.

Minnesota Correspondence,
Now llcm, MINN, Juno 6, 1872.
Editor of the Jonrnal According to promise we
are going to give you a short accOunt - of our trip
to the North-West. We left your ancient borough
at 7 o'olock, on the morning of the 29th of May,
and arrived at this place on Saturday evening,
June 1. We stopped some two hours at Chicago.
It is a very confused place. The burnt portion of
the city is being fast built up. It is said that
there are 25,000 laborers there now, and that the
population has increased 60,000 since the fire. It
certainly is the great metropolis of this western
country, and from present indications it will only
be a matter of a few years. till it will far surpass
its former greatness. We left this city by railroad
for Milwaukee, at 10i o'clock, a. m. Some seven
miles from Chicago, we passed Rose Hill Cemetery,
a beautiful place, and here, and for ten or fifteen
miles from the city, are many grand residences,
owned by the wealthy of Chicago, and are kept
for summer resorts. Along this road we passed
some very fine looking farms and gardens—some
gardens containing fifteen or twenty acres.
We arrived at Milwaukee at one o'clock, p. m.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin,is situated on the west bank
of Lake Michigan, and is quite a large business
place, containing some 70,000 inhabitants, and is
noted for its elevators and great wheat market.
The railroad here is built across a corner of the
lake.
Left at 3:30 p. in., for Winona, Minnesota. From
Milwaukee to Winona, we crossed the Wisconsin
river, and passed a number of email lakes, some
covering two or three hundred acres; also numer
ous towns, some of tbem quite lively business places.
We arrived at Winona et 2a. m. Winona is situ
ated on the northeast bank of the Mississippi river,
about 100 miles below Ft. Paul, and has 15,000 in
habitants. There we cr,,,,e.1 the Mississippi r i ver
from La Crosse, on an iron draw-bridge. We find
quite a number of these draw or turn bridges in
this western country. They certainly aro a great
invention. One or two men can turn and adjust
them in a few minutes, either to let railroad ears
over or steamboats pass through. We wore rather
surprised at this place to tied goods of every kind
much cheaper than we could buy them anywhete
east. Here we had the pleasure of bearing(to us,)
a new musical instrument, called Acatiope. It is
constructed on the Pipe Organ principle,
propelled
by steam. It made grand music and might bs
heard two or three miles. - If you had One of them
instruments in ye ancient borough, it would make
music enough for the entire town.
We left this place at 9 o'clock. a. m., on the Wi e
nona and St. Peter R. IL, by way of Owatoutna
and Mankato City. On this route we passed thre'
some fine farming country. The farmsin this part
of the State are generally well improved. The
wheat crop is very good. The farmers nearly al!
have beautiful groves planted around their build
ings, and this gives them a grand appearance.
I Th e y are planted in rows, tastefully arrangel.
The kind of trees they plant are the cottonwood,
bass, the soft and hard maple, and silver maple.—
It is astonishing too, how fiat they grow in this
soil. They grow sufficiently large in two or three
years to shade and protect buildings. According
to an act of the Legislature of Minnesota, settles
are allowed a certain amount in payment of tax tr
money, for planting trees. We think this a wise
act, and other Western States should do likewise.
New Ulm is a town of some 2,400 inhabitants,
beautifully situated on the Western table lands of
the Minnesota river, at an elevation of some thirty
feet above the level of the river, and was first tot
tled by foreigners, all infidels, and as they Ind
purchased the site, they refused for some timeto
sell a lot to any person unless theywould join their
society. So for a time, Infidelity flourished hols
and spread heresell like a green bay tree. In
1802,they had got to such a length of wickedness,
that erected an altar on which they hued
Christ in effigy. Some Christian man witnessing
this, said to them, "You will pay for this." do
just in three days, the Sioux Indians came on than
and killed the most of them, and destroyed neatly
all their dwellings in town. It has never been as
certained how many were killed. The poptdatina
to-day is made up largely of Swedes and Norm
glans. There are four churches : German Metho
dist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Presbyterian.
The latter was only organized a few weeks ago.
We are sorry to say, while they havefour churelvs,
the great work of evangelizing remains to be dose,
and think any minister who will begin a good
work here now, cannot he charged with building
on any other man's foundation. The stores ire
nearly all kept open on the Sabbath. We saw cue
man sell two cook stoves and all the 'lectures, in-
eluding a complete outfit for housekeeping, flotr,
sugar, coffee, tea, she., all before breakfast on Sale-
bath morning. There are a number of large stows
here, and all doing extensive business. We par
pose going out on the prairies to-morrow, in nag
one, some seventy miles. The Infidels of St. Peal
purpose having a pic-nix here next Sabbath, and
if we get back in time, we tnay give you an aceotnt
of it. - sill

FARM AT PRIVATE SALE.
The undersigned, in consequence of the sad
accident which befel him in December last, is
obliged to abandon farming, and now offers his
farm, at private sale, situated in Franklin town
ship, on Spruce Creek, adjoining the town of
Franklinville, four and a half miles from the
Pennsylvania Railroad, (Spruce Creek Station)
the turnpike leading therefrom past the farm, said
farm contains one hundred and twenty-five acres,
and one hundred perches, about twenty-five acres
of which are well timbered. The farm is in a good
state of cultivation; last year,about seven hundred
bushels of number ono wheat were raised on the
farm, said wheat brought in market this spring,
delivered at Spruce Creek, $2.15 per bushel. The
buildings are a large frame dwelling house about
as good as new and is a number one house, which
commands a beautiful view of the town of Frank
linville and the pike for one mile, also a good
tenant house, bank barn, wagon shed with corn
cribs, Blacksmith shop, and other outbuildings
necessary. A spring of never failing limestone
water which supplies both house and barn with
abundance of water, also a new cistern in the yard
of the mansion house. There is a splendid orchard
of Apple, Peach, Pear and Plumbs close to the house.
This farm is truly noted by all passers by as being
a heartsomeplace to live. The buyer can have his
own time to pay the farm in, can have ten years
if desired, and payments can bo made on May lst
instead of April, which is a great item. The per
sonal property, including farm implements, ma
chinery, and stook can be bought with the farm if
desired, or tho farm separate. A daily mail is
brought here and a coach run on the pike daily.
The above farm is in sight of School, Church, and
Blacksmith shop, only three-forths of a mile to the
mill. For further information call on, or address,

SURPRISING.
It is really surprising how rapidly
Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines
are becoming popular all over the country.
Thousands are daily praising them for their many
virtues and say they would not be without them in
their families. To you who have never tested
them, we would soy if you have Force and Are
you cannot do better than use
DR. WENGERT'S
MOUNTAIN - HERB BITTERS.
For Lirer Complaints, Scrofulous Affections and
Diseases arising from Impurities of the Blood, use
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE
Restorative and Blood Purifier.
Dr. Wengert's Magic Balm
has no superior for the speedy and effectual cure of
Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis and Diseases of the Re
spiratory Organs.
THE SAMSON OIL
reel only to ho tried to convince the most incredu
lous that it will cure Nurcous Headache, Cholera
Mottos, Colic, Cramp*, Sprain*, Bridles, &c.
Dr. Wengert's Hepatica Pills
are an Alternative Cathartic,and can be used for
an ordinary Cathartic or hysic, and should al-
ways be used in connection with the MOUNTAIN
HERB BITTERS in severe cases of Fever and
Ague. We know that there is continually being
palmed upon the people some wonderful prepara
tion that is without merit or virtue, therefore the
people lose confidence in preparations that do pos
sess virtue. Yet it would certainly be unwise and
unreasonable to cendeinn all the various remedies
offered to the public because corns are aisgraceful
humbugs. All we ask is for you to give
Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines
a fair trial, and if they are not deserving of your
praise and confidence, then denounce them in your
Strongest terms.
Fouse's I. X. L. Horse and Cattle
Powders

TO THE PUBLIC.
, Th, North-Western (Babcock,
guisher Company having brought suit against the
Philadelphia (Gardner,) Firs Extinguisher Com
pany, for alleged infringement of the Curlier and
Vignon Patent, (dated April 13th, 1869,) which
the said Babcock Company professes to own, in the
use of water impregnated with Carbonic Acid Gas
as a means to extinguish fire, we desire to make the
following statesments all of which, we are prepared
to fully substantiate by proof:
First. The so-called earlier and Vignon Pat
ent is invalid for want of novelty, in that a patent
was issued to W. &Phillips in England, in 1844,
and in this country in 185 d. Carbonic Acid was
used as the extinguishing agent.
Second. The said so-called Curlier and Vignon
Patent has no legal existence, no legal application
ever having been made for it to the Patent Office ;
and its issuance therefrom was accomplished by
gross fraud.
Third. The lawyers conducting the suitagainst
us, brought suit for the sane clients on the •nine
Patent, against one Duryea, in the U. S. Court in
New York, 1810, and the answer of Duryea being
filed, setting forth the facts herein alluded to, said
unit teas dismissed at the cost of the plaintiffs.
The Babcock Company expects to destroy the
sale of the Gardner Extinguisher, which has so
seriously interfered with their long-enjoyed mono
poly, by extensively advertising this suit, and
thus intintidaing the public. It is our purpose to
defeat their fraudulent design, and to this end, we
will shortly publish a history of the matter, which
will undeceive the public and expose the worthless
ness of that sham, called the Cartier and Vignola
Patent.
Copies will be mailed to any address on appli
cation. This Company will give guarantees
against all loss, damage or trouble for use of the
Gardner Extinguisher, and will, at its sole expense,
defend all suits that may be brought against it.
