OF GRANT, The late of Grant and his corrupt followers is scaled. \The- indications from every port of the Union show that the ablest men of the.Kepubilcan party are deserting the present-taker,' and looking out for a new man upon whom they may concentrate their strength.— Nor is this “departure” confined to such men as Greeley, Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, Logan, Gov. Palmer, of 111., ana Rrowm The defection is wide spread, and Includes men of the great est influence and the most commanding abilities—-men who made Grant what he is, and who. can as readily unmake j him. The office-holders at Washington and elsewhere are trembling in their boots, as they begin to realize that their -tenure of office is most precarious. The coming Clnclnfaatl Convention, which but a few weeks ago they affected to despise, has opened their eyes and shown them the perilous position in Which they stand. Instead of the dele gates to that Convention being, what they stigmatized them,a band of disaffected and disappointed • men,” they will, on the contrary, embrace the brains and energy, and patriotism of the Republican party. Men of thereat exalted public vlrture will be there; men who, like Bumner, and Governor Blair, of Michigan, will bring wisdom to its counsels and strength and consis tency to its action, and make it what it really will be, a great National Muss Meeting. The people of the north-west, disgusted with the imbecility, nepotism and reckless extravagance of the Grant administration, have thrown hlm over board and have appointed their best men to represent them at Cincinnati.— The Middle, the Easterd dud the Western States will be fully represent ed by men prominent alike for ability, and for their life-long adherence to Republican doctrines. It will Indeed be a mighty outporing of the Republi can masses, whose action and verdict will be the death of the corruptionists; but whether that action will'save the Republican party remains to be seen. In the meanwhile we, as Democrats, will- hide our time. We will watch narrowly the progress of events, and whi'e preserving our unity and organi zation.as a party, will give ‘ aid and comfort” to those who have for their, object the prosperity of the country and the perpetuity of our freo Institu tions. Our liberties must be preserved, let whatever else perish. To secure this, our course is a plain one. In the coming Presidential contest, the mission of the Democratic party is a very sim ple, thohgh vitally important one. It is to press the issue of reforming the cor ruptions of awry department of the Government; to purge out the rascali ties that have prevailed and still pre vail ; to expose misdoings, and to place the affairs of the nation on the same broad basis, financially and othe-wise, that it occupied before the Republican party secured the control of the govern ment. To accomplish this, we must wage unceasing war with the Grant administration, expose its corruptions. Its usurpations and abuses, and never cease until the military usurpers and corruptionists have been driven from place and power, and the government [ placed in the hands of honest and pure I men. THAT SEVEN THOUSAND DOLL AES. Will somebody please explain that little matter of $7,000 between Hart ranft and Evans? ;Evans was, ns we. all know, ft credulous kind of a fellow, and ready to do a good turn whenever in his power; but letting Hartranft have a loan of $7,000, when, according to Mr. Kemble, Evans himself , was particularly hard up, is a little too much of a good thing. It is asking too much of public credulity to expect that people will believe this. And then again, why was it that Hartranft never thought of returning it to Evans until the Philadelphia Bulletin brought the transaction to light ? The only legitimate inference to be drawn from this little transaction is that Hartranft, like Forney, of the Chronicle (and, by his own admission, Forney of the Press)-, Dunglinson, Geary’s Secretary, and several others, was.entitled to a slice from the $190,000 loaf; that he received it without any compunctions of conscience, and that he made restitution, or pretended resti tution, only when ho found the affair had become unpleasantly noised abroad. The, device is too thin. It can be seen through as readily as a prelty girl’s face through a beautifler, with thls.dif ferehce, that,- instead of a pretty face being seen, a very ugly transaction is disclosed. How about that $7,000 ? Let the astute editors of the Carlisle Herald try their hands at an explana tlou. No New 'Convention.— There is talk hero and there of calling another Republican State Convention and set ting up a new ticket. Those who make this demand are unquestionably among the best and purest men of the party, but they will find that they are utterly powerless.' For years the Republican party of this State has been used merely ua a means for registering the decrees of Simon Cameron. He has virtually owned it, and the only rival he has found has been the Pennsylvania Rail road. That corporation has beaten him on one Or two occasions. The nominees put forward by the recent convention will remain on the track. They dare not decline, and would not be permit ted to do so if they should desire it.— They must be beaten at the polls. Only in that way can the power of the cor rupt ring which put them forward be broken. Col. Forney’s Last Cry.— Colonel John W. Forney is dissatisfied with the action of the Pennsylvania Republican State Convention. He says: “The Harrisburg Convention was notoriously packed by a ring of unprincipled, self constituted party mansgen.” He adds; " The State Convention yesterday ap pointed a set of delegates [to the Na tional Grant Convention] Cor the Phil adelphia districts, most of whom ore utterly .without character or influence except with toughs or bummers of their own stripe.” Col. Forney ought to have added, that this game “ Bing of unprincipled, self constituted party managers" instructed the delegates, 11 meat of whom are ut terly without character except with roughs or bummers of their own stripe,” to vote for Grant’s renominntion.

The Mcchanicsburg Journ it is ia a very bad hutrior over the n imination of the Rlnp. candidate, Hnrtranft. — The Journal speaks the naked truth when It says that the nomination of this man Is ’* a shameful disgrace,” and was made for the express purpose of covering; up “fraud and villainy.” Mr. Ritner, editor of the Journal, having come to this conclusion; can he, or will .heask his readers to support Hartranlt ? Ho lms his name at the heail of his col umns, which, we fear, is “ a shameful disgrace” to himself and His paper.— Here,'is what- the Journal says of the thieves candidate: .j ' • [Fmm the Meohanlcsbnrg/onmaf.J The Ticket.—lt is, with’ the greatest reluctance that we raise the name of Qeheral Hartranlt to the head of our columns for Governor. Not that we have any doubt as to the justice ol the principles of the Republican party, not that, we have lost fa(th in the in- tegrity of the masses; but bi cause we feel that the Evans scandal wraps him round like the shirt Of Nemesis, and we deplore the odium of the swindle, and the necessity that makes it a shroud for the whole party. We regard the nomination as a shameful, disgraceful, and fatal act upon the part of a few un principled ring leaders, to cover up their own tracks, and ultimately choke off a thorough investigation of the whole fraud. It is n< t only this, but was a palpable violation of the wishes of the rna-sea, and a manipulation by that notorious scoundrel, W. B. Mann, even after the delegates had assembled at Harrisburg; and it is only our life long devotion to the principles of the party, aside from, men that induces us to lend our aid. In the hope that if successful, those principles will curb to some extent, the licetions abuse of pow er, and' the reckless disregard of the wishes of the people. With such men as ,W. W. Ketchum before them, noth ing but the grossest and most shameful disregard of all that was dear and trur to the party, could have induced such action. We regard the nomination as an un fortunate one in another view. By it, the imputation is cast that material is scarce to the parly. Looking at it from the stand-point of the machinery that induced and controlled it, and no other conclusion is apparent than there is fraud and villainy to be covered up, and that lie is the only man who could be trusted to act cats-paw for the vul tures that gathered around the carcass. How the Decrees of the Bing Were Enforced. One exceedingly obnoxious feature of the recent .Republican Slate ’Conven tion, says the Lancaster Intelligencer , was the arbitrary manner in which the decrees of the Cameron Treasury Bing were carried out. The minutest details of business were arranged in the Hart ranft caucus. It was decided that small compact committee of seven should settle all claims to contested seats and that a similar committee should name the delegates to the Na tional Convention, and make up the electoral ticket. The com mittee chosen to name candidates to the Constitution al convention was made a little larger, being raised, to thirteen. To these three committees the most important busi ness of the convention .was intrusted. — Not only were they appointed by the. Chair, but the men who were to const!*. tute them were carefully chosen by the conspirators in advance. When Mr. Kutan took the chair, the men who had been selected to move the appoint ment of the time important commit tees we have named, were stationed at points designated by him, so that his eye could turn instantly from one to the pther. It was predetermined not to 'permit debate, and Mr. Rutan ap plied the gag law most effectually. The motions were made, put, and declared to be adopted before an objection could be Interposed. A gentleman who had served two terms in Congress, managed to secure a moment’s delay by rising to a pointof order. Of course Mr. Rutan decided that the point of.order was not well taken, and the resolution was' put and declared to bo carried, while the ex-Congressman was announcing his determination to appeal from, the arbi trary decision of the chair. We sat and looked on at the scene presented in per fect apnaremen t. Nothing of that sort could have been attempted in a Demo cratic conventiou, without exciting a storm which no chairman would like to brook. Not only was the minority in the convention denied any rights, hut the work of the majority was rudely and arbitrarily done. The audacity ist Mr. Rutan might have excited admira tion if his conduct had been less rascal ly; yet he Is not a man to stand up against a storm and he would soon have quailed if he had been fearlessly op posed. What was needed by the minority was the presence of one or two good and resolute men. One man oi the right stainp eould have checked the arbitrary action of. the chairman, even if he should nave proved power less to prevent the programme of the ring from being carried out. Thu following Is an extract from the report of proceedings of the Republican State Convention which nominated Hangman Hartranft, on the JOth Inst., for Governor of Pennsylvania ; Itwrti moved that General Hartrnnrt be de dared the unanimous choice of the convention! The yeaa were loud and deep, b. l the nayt were numeroM and emphatic, and it twu notao declared. It is an unexampled thing for a nom inating convention to refuse such an indorsement of its nominee as ■ wag here asked, but Grant’s dictation has outraged the honest Republicans of I’ennsylvanla beyond all bonnds. • Gen. Graft has declined to remove the corrupt Federal office holders of South Carolina, and one of the office holders has removed himself. B. J. Donaldson, Collector of the First Dis trict, is reported to be a defaulter in the sum of $lO,OOO. While Special Agent Yarln was engaged in looking through Donaldson’s accounts, the latterquietly removed him-elfto Washington, where ho will doubtless bo able to prove that he is the victim of a ku-klux con spiracy. The Cumberland Valley (rep.) Jour nal puts the following query, to which the Herald may bo able to supply the answer: Who wrote Hartranft’s speech accepting the nomination ? It was imwjred about the streets of Har risburg four hoifrs beipre the conven tion met, in printed form. The “ Golden Age” points to the fact that we have before us to-day “the gad and emulous spectacle of an Amer ican President forcing his own re-nom ination by acts, and artifices, and the use ot governmental patronage, fur whlah he plight to bo Impeached,.” THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, ' The Constitutional Convention blll t which,was sent back and forth from one branch of the Legislature to the other until the reading public were unable to comptehend its full provisions,' has at lust been published in the form in which it is supposed to have passed the Leg islature. The following is a brief out line of this bill, which has been a.very troublesome and expensive, ns well as a very unnecessary piece of-buslness i The convention, , is, to consist of 183 members, of whom 28 are to bo elected at large, each voter to vote for not more than.H of the npmberl the 28 receiving the largest'number of'votes to be de clared elected, Among the senatorial districts 99 delegates are appointed; be ing three, to each Senator, each voter to vote for two candidates only, while the three highest are to be declared elected. In the double and triple Senatorial dis- tricts, each voter is'to vote Tor four and six candidates, and the six and nine highest are to be declared elected. The remaining six delegates are allotted to the city of Philadelphia, each voter to vote for three candidates, the six high est to be declared elected. Taking the result of the last elections for State Sen ators fora basis, the political complex ion of the convention will probably be .68 Republicans to 65 Democrats. The delegates are to bo elected on the second Tuesday of October, at .the_Ume_bf the general State election ; and the conven tion Is to assemble In'the Hall of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg at noon on Tuesday, November 12, with general' powers of .adjournment as .to time and place. The convention is pro hibited from changing in any way the “ Declaration of Rights,” and from cre ating courts with exclusive equity ju risdiction. It may, however, propose for the ratilication of the people an entirely ni)W Constitution,,or amend ments to the present Constitution, or sped tic amendments to be voted sepa; rately, and one-third of the members have the right to demand the submis sion of any particular change proposed to a. separate and distinct vote. The convention is empowered to designate the time and manner of submitting the proposed amendments to a vote of tho people, and ail such amendments as re ceive a majority of the votes cast shall become henceforth a part of tho Consti tution. Shameful Insult to a Dead Hero.—President Grant did not attend Gen."Anderann , a funeral, although he was in New York at the time. He dis played the same want of patriotic feel ing at the time of the’funerai of Admi ral Parragut. 'the Sun states that no ceremonies were accorded to the remains of Gener al Anderson at West Point; no troops drawn up, no music, no salute, and not a man raised his hat. The caisson on Which the coffin was placed was drawn from the steamboat- landing by four spavined horses, one of which nearly died before reaching the Academy grounds. General Huger stated to the iSm re porter tnat he had spacial orders from the War Department to pay no funeral, honors to General Anderson, at West Point I ! ' Such treatment of the Illustrious dead is a disgrace to our government and an insult to • every soldier in the United States., Gross Outrage and Speedy Eetribution. 'Nashville* April 17.—Monday night last four negroes and a white man, nam ed Walter Winfield, entered the house of Mr*. W. A. Wilson, in Limestone Co, Alabama, during her husband's absence. The lady ran out, but was pursued, over taken and brutally assaulted. Winfield, in endeavoring to escape, was drowned in the Tennessee river near Decatur, Ala. The negroes were arrested, audplacediu the custody of the sheriff of Llmeslonfc county. While on their way to Athens and at the juncture of the Nash ville and Decatur and Memphis and Charleston railroads, the prisoners were taken from the tralnby a band of armed men and carried off. What was done with them U not known, though it is supposed they were killed. They confessed U» the sher iff that they were guiUy of the crime.— Mrs, Wilson will probably die of the in juries received.

POLITICAL NEWS ITEMS. The Pennsylvania Labor Reformers expect to nominate a State ticket on the 7th of May, at Williamsport. . .Since the Democrats have assumed the ascendency in North Carolina, taxes have been reduced to less than four mills on the dollar. Lawrence county, Pennsylvania,, has a bonded debt of three hundred and thirty three thousand dollars, (♦383,000.00.) and gives 1,200 Radical majority. ■ The Democratic Convention of Alle gheny county appointed delegatee to tlie Democratic State Convention and Instructed them to ..vote for Gen. George W. Cass for.Qovernor. The State Journal says there Is not a “vulnerable - spot” in the Radical State ticket. How about tho $7,000 Har tranft borrowed from Evans? . The New York Herald favors Grant’s renomination, which: ought to damage him as much as the Cincinnati Convention. The Republicans of West Cheater with Hon. John Hickman nt the head, have called a meeting to oppose Har tranft's election. i The Negroes’ National Convention was held in New Orleans last week.— They are for Grant, and would like the Vice President. The Liberal Republican Convention will convene in Cincinnati, on the Ist of May, for tho purpose of nominating a President and Vice President. • The declaration in the Radial plat form made hy the “roughs and bum mers” at Harrisburg, that “the public lands belong to the people, and should be preserved for the people 1 ," is a fraud. The Radical Congress is giving them away to corporations by millions of acres. . F.'B. Penniman, of Wayne county, formerly, editor of the Pitts burgh Gazette, and one of the ablest Republicans in the State, has consented to attend the Cincinnati Convention in the Interests of reform. It is a significant circumstance that St. Louis, which in 18G8 gave Grant a large majority, at the late municipal election went Democratic by 3,722 mae juiity. Only one Republican out of the twelve alderman was chosen, and he is an anti-Grant man, Who Retire.—The terms of the fol lowing state senators expired with the late session: Messrs Brodhead, Dechert, Brooke, Warfel, Biilingfelt. Findlay, Rutan, Buckalew; Mumma, Furman and Allen i five Democrats and six Re publicans., A Nigger Senator CoVicted op Bribery.—A letter dated Tallahaue, Florida, says: The judgement of the Leon Circuit Court,- sentencing C. H. Pearce, pastor of the African church. a member of the Senate and a prominent Bepulican politician of the State, for bribery, to six. months in the c .unty Jail and $lOOO fine* was confirmed. The Harrisburg State Journal couple* Horace Greeley and John. W. Forney together, denouncing .them both, a* enemies to the Republican party. — The truth is that the Republican party in, Pennsylvania haa ceased to exist for any other purpose than to register, the decrees of Cameron and to keep in place the creatures who compose the Treasu ry Ring. ■ The Washington Patriot estimates thestealings of Grant’s administration — from data furnished by Mr. Garfield and the report of the, civil service com mission—at 1125,000,000 per annum, making a total of *375.000,000 in Hire* years. This stealing would have been larger; but, then we must rememb*r that there wasn’t anything, more to steal. There are $11)0.000,000 in the treasury. This would take up $130,- 000,000 of bonds and so save to. the peo ple about 18,000.000 a year In interest. But Secretary Boutwell prefers to have the money lay idle in the treasury from one year’s end to another. Pri vate individuals dont do business in that manner. They would think $8,000,000 worth saving. At the time of the‘meeting of the Republican State Convention a delega tion of Radicals, headed by a band of music, called upon Governor Geary, and asked for a pardon for ex-Treasurer Marcer of Philadelphia, who is serving out a term in the Penitentiary for “misapplying” the funds of the city.— Theives have a fellow ftollng for each other. A number of prominent Philadel phia lawyers recently addressed a let ter Chief Justice Thompson of the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania, whose term of office will shortly expire, re questing him to bo a candidate for re-election. Judge T. replied “that if the people of this Commonwealth de sire ray candidacy for the Supreme Bench, my name is at their service.” President Grant ie"to .occupy a new cottage at Long’ Branch this sum mer. It is not staled who .made him a present of it, or whether it is the Joint purchase of Leet and Stocking from their surplus stealings, but it is quite probable it is the latter. But with Mrs. Grant and the whole family abroad we don’t see why the “old" cottage by the sea would not have fur nished sufficient aicommodatione for his excellency. Col. A. K. McCldke visited Wash ington recently and had a consultation with the loading Republican Congress* men. He reports that Pennsylvania Is Irevocably lost to Grant, and that Hartru nit's defeat is inevitable. He says that at the proper time an inde pendent candidate will be brought into the field, around whom nil good and honest men will rally, in October next, without regard to party name or ties.

Tho following responses of Republican newspapers telf us how the nomination of General Hartranft is received : (Lancaster Express.) . The nomination of Hartranft, known to he a member of a ring which stinks in the nostrils of all honest men, himself under a cloud of suspicion, in connection with the Evan's fraud, was bad enough, and of itself a greater load Ilian any par ly would be able to carry, but it was com pletely eupplemonled by the iiomlnatlan of Senator Allen, wlio-e principal dls-. tinclinn was. his championship of that gigantic.fraud:known as the “ uine.mil lion steal,” and which was ao thoroughly ventilated In the Republican newspapers .of Lancaster at tho time that boldschonie for robbing the Treasury was attempted. To ask the readers of the Express to sup port a ticket like this, amt nominated under such auspices, would be a grossand unpardonable Insult. (beranton Republican ) With Hartrauit as the standard-bearer of the Republicans, we shall for the sake of the party support him lor the position for which he has been nominated. We realise, ae musl all thinking Republicans,, that we have a campaign bslore us that promises little enthusiasm for the braises of the party in many sections of the Stale, and especially the northeastern counties are sadly disappointed In the work of the convention. The lukewarm Repuhli -cans and tin se who “ vole for the best ptan” will be difficult to secure. (Pittsburg Despatch.) It is useless to ignore the fact that there is Intense hostility lo Hartrarift's Domin ation, considered by itself. The question at this writing Is, whsther the other combinations will quiet tbe excitement, and lead to a general suppoi lof the ticket. (Pittsburg Leader.) The clique In management have had rebukes that ought to have opened their eyes ere now, and from which It would have been wise for them, to have taken warning, it is not safe for them to cal culate 100 strongly on the expecla'lon that because of the important bearing, well understood, of the October elect ion on the one that follows In November, a therefore undivided rally can be counted on at the former—that to save Gr.intthe party will certainly stick to Hartranft.— Tne day for that style ot tactics Is oyer— ‘ Organs” are already well played nut.io sinimenis, and don’t control things as they used to do. (Pittsburg Gazette.) A mueh heller, stronger, and less ob jectionable selection mould have been made from tho party ranks fo the high office of Governor than 'hegenteman to whom the nomination has been awarded. (Pittsburg Chronicle.)

April 15.—The Coroner's Jury In the case of Mrs; Emily Lloyd, charged with poisoning her husband and tour children, have returned a verdict of guilty of murder. Prof. Toney of Balti more, tlie chemist who was sngaged In the Wharton case, inside an analysis of the stomachs, and discovered Hie pres ence of arsenic lu quantities sufficient to have produced death. It appears train facte elicited that Mr Charles E Lloyd, who was an Intemper ate man am) cruel husband and. f.ther, died suddenly in the spring of 1870 of pneumonia. The following summer the two boys, aged six and eight years, died suddenly of what the physicians su( posed was conjssllon of the stomach. In Feb ruary of tills year the third child, a girl of some five years, died, as was supposed, ot the same disease? On the 23d day of March last the fourth and last child died suddenly of apparently the same disease. No suspicion attached to the mother or any of the household, as she had evinced a devotion for her children and a pride lit their appearance that excluded such aa apprehension; their nurse bad seemed even us kind and loving as the mother. After the death of the last child it was remembered that ail the children died of the same di-ease, and that just prior to the death of each nurchases of araeuic had been made by the lumber.— Thereupon Mayor Bentley determined to hold au inquest. The investigation was begun on the 25th of March. The mother could give, no plausible account of what she did with the arsenic she had purchased. Assoon ~s the result of analysis was ascertained she was locked up. When arrested she wept bitterly and protested her innocence.— The opinion Is that she committed the murders on account of a man who has been courting her, and who, It 1- said, in duced her to get rid of her ohildreu- Bhali, fGo West-A Nebraska cor respondent or the Springfield, Massachu setts Republican, answers the above question thus : That depends on circumstances. If a young imin lias $21101), or even $1,500. so (hat he can put $OOO Inina house and $3OO Into a team, gnd from $350 to $5OO into a second hand homestead, and then has patience, industry, colonial lon, doclliiy in hearing advice, and ■ economy, he will do well enough.

Ruch a young man so olroum ■danced will ho sure, in five years, to have e property worth $B,OOO or $lO 000 It la fqr him to Judge whether he can make bis $1 500 realise that amount in New England at that lime. If a man has nothing, lie can earn more money at the East than at the West, The Indus tries hers are few, wages low, money Is scarce. A young man coming hem with nothing can do little more 1 than make a living. If hs has a family he must econ omize as few eastern people do. Within ten miles of this nlace there are families living In so-called houses fourteen by sixteen feet, built of sod, selling their oorti -for fifteen rente per bushel and their pork at four, cents per pound, going without tea,.coffee, sugar and other east ern necessaries of hie, unable to raise money enough to pay their taxes.' They hope.for belter times, and that hopesus-' talus them. If those times come, and they cau bang on by the skin of their teeth till they do come, they will be bet' ter otf than If they had remained East.-r- But some of them wouldn’t hold on, and some will die in the,struggle.
