The first ship ment last year woe received on .the 22d .nf March.” CINCINNATI NOMINATIONS, In our Inst we published, without comment; the proceedings of tire, great Republican Convention held at Cincin nati., Beyond question it was tho lar j&t. Apolitical gathering that ever as sembled in our country. It was largely composed, too, of men -of intellect — tho. Wains of,the Republican party—the men of character, who feel alarmed (as well they ‘ may,) -' at "the- unsurpassed Villainies of the wdaK and treasonable Grant administration. .These mon hes- itated ' long before they consented to break from the party they loved—the party they had made. They, therefore, remonstrated with the administration, reminding it that its wanton disregard of tho laws of the land—its usurpations of power not granted by the constitu tion—its notorious corruption— its use of its powers to enrich relatives and rascals—its tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States.and munici palities— its acceptance of thousands of valuable presents in exchange for lucra tive offices—its, deplorable weakness and want of dignity—in tine, its' bo aban : . doned. These defects in the adminis; tration, il ‘ was ; contended,'-must be remedied, and a higher I 'standard !6f morality and patriotism practiced. Did Grant—tlie poor, greedy creature of circumstance—did he heed these ad monitions? Did he give oar to the advice of those upright and unselfish men of bip party ? Not he. Ho sent for such political buzzards and pap- suckers as Cameron, Morton, Ben But ler, Wilson, Scott, brother-in-law Dent, and' the Ring politicians about the Custom-house of. New York, and to them he gave ear, and by them he was encouraged to go oh in his usurpations. It is the interest of bad . men to keep up a constant irritation be- tween the North and the South; it is to their interest—but at the same time death to the country at large —to harrass, annoy and bedevil the South at all times and under all circum stances, to deny representative men the elective franchise, disqualify them from holding office, ami to place their rich and powerful section of our country in the hands of uneducated niggers and carpet-baggers, who are not only per mitted but instructed to steal. It is the Interest, we say, of such men as Came- ron and his allies in crime, to keep up this speculative scoundrelism; and Grant is their willing tool, listens to their advice and shares their stealings. The statesmen of the Republican party, finding entreaty useless and their advice scoffed at, finally concluded to draw out from the foul political conspiracy and to set up for themselves- Hence the Cincinnati Convention. , ' The nominees of this Convention; as our readers are aware, are Hon. Horace Greeley, of New York, and Gov. B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri,— They are both great men. Not only are they great In intellect find states manship, but they are honest,and God knows honesty has had a hard time of it of late years. Mr. Greeley is confess', edly the ablest editor in America, and his influence and fame have become, world-wide. Mr. Greeley, then, will | be enthusiastically supported by tons of thousands in every State of the Union, because the people, believe him to .be an honeSV man and ripe states man, whose skirts have no smell of I corruption. Ho might, iiad he felt dis posed, and been governed by the same motives that governed Grant, been worth his millions. During tho war merchants and brokers vied with, each other in a daily game of cheats politi cians and soldiers played into each others’s hands, prolonging the war un neeessararily for place and profit •, the pulpit became the arena for blowhards and casuists! the press, already parti san, became sectional, and tho very Devil of misrule held absolute Sway ajl over the land. Grant was elected, and the chair which has known gentlemen, statesmen and patriots, became the scat of a low-born, ill-bred fellow, -whose every thought is selfish, who sprang from poverty to sudden affluence, who spends his lime in low pursuits, and has done more- to disgrace our country in the eyes of the world .than all his predecessors combined. His policy nettles the entire'South, keeps finance in a ferment, dissatisfies tho great thinkers who framed tho party by which he was elected, and has led it to the brink of.destruction. Mr. Greeley will be supported be cause he has ideas of his own, and knows how to express them. The people have been mortified long enough by the “man who smokes,” and they (the dissatisfied Republicans,) feel like giv ing their votes to a man who don’t smoke.’ With many of Mr. Greeley’s theories the people do not agree, but for all that they respect him as one who, at all events, understands what he wants, and is not indebted to subor dinates for his brains. What will the Democrats do? We have been asked this question hundreds of times d uring the last ten days.. We can’t answer it at present. No- man can tell what the Democratic National Convention (to assemble at Baltimore on the 9th of July,) may dol Many of the most prominent Democrats, North, East, West and South, favor the adop tion of the Cincinnati ticket; thousands of others, again, “ good men and true,” oppose this policy. One thing, we think, wo are safe in saying. Should the opinion prevail in tho Baltimore Convention .fliat Mr. Greeley is the only man who can defeat Grant, then Greeley will bo taken as a choice of evils. If elected at all, he must be elected by receiving the votes and tive support of the Democrats of tho country, and the Liberal Republicans must appreciate and admit this fact. •For ourself, we shall be governed in our course by the aetloh of tho Demo cratic National Convention. Wo feel sometimes like adopting as our motto, ‘‘anybody to dofeat Grant,” for wo consider the country iii'imiiiinent per il. The Baltimore Convantlon, we doubt not, will bo largely composed of the best men in America,' and under the guidance of an all-wise Providence, will bo ablo to arrive at conclusions that will give satisfaction to the great body of the Democratic family, and peace to the country. So mote it bo. —iiurtranft, tho Radical nominee for Governor, joined that party in 1855. Ho ir/ac immediately nominated for Auditor General; re-elected in 1858, and now ho is pvt forward as tho “ring” candidate for Governor DBFAMING THETfEAD. However meritorious tho Young Men’s Christian Association may be, os an organization, it is Very palpable that some of its more noisy members and outside representatives are fools, who have no intelligent conception of what Christianity'means. We do not refer alone to those members of this Association who go smelling about ■ drinking saloons, - on-Him days, for'the purpose of inducing tho saloon keepers to violate tho law, that they maybe prosecuted and convicted. These self constituted Christian missionaries man ifest their unchristian-.feelings and fdl-: ly in various other ways, too numerous to mention', and do more to injure the cause which they profess l to loyo than the open enemies Of Christiany. A notable instance of the meanness and malignity of these ‘‘Young Men” oc curred at tt redent local option meeting at Germantown.' ' Ait '.this meet.-ng,. otto George D. Strouds a prominent member of tho re ligious organization referred to, in a speech said that the decision in the case of PeVKer iw.,the. Commonwealth (in volving tlie constitutionality of. the Legislature's- delegating its powers jo people) could be explained by tlie fact that “ a bottle of brandy was passed tip to the Gltief Justice (Gibson) on the bench, durlny the argument , and the■ liquor dnmh publicly Such was the declaration-of Stroud, according to a teport of his speech printed in aGer- raantoWn paper. Tills George D. Stroud is a lawyer, and a son of rho estimable Judge Stroud, and that he should thus have slandered the memory of the late Chief Justice Gibson is, therefore, the more wonderful. Ho not only asserted that Judge Gibson publicly drank brandy, on the bench, during an argument, but insinuated that, in consequence of hav ing done this,,or from partiality to the liquor-selling int erest, lie rendered a decision against t|io constitutionality ol the law in question. A more, foul im putation against the character of a judge could scarcely be'conceived, not to say publicly uttered. And when we con sider it in connection with the well known character of Chief Justice Gib son, as to high moral integrity, and profuud' knowledge of and respect for law, this slander assumes the character of absolute moral atrocity. A more base or cowardly act could hardly havo been committed than this of defaming the character of a pure and good mail, sleeping in his hitherto uni, vorsally honored grave, to say nothing of; the unparalleled meanness pf thus wbuudmg the surviving relatives of the deceased Chief J ustiqe. Is there a man outside of the Young Men’s Christian Association capable of thus baseiy.standeri ng the dead and wound ing the living ?• Wo hope not. What [good does the Association in question Ithink such men as this Stroud cau do- the ca use of Christianity and morality ? Are slander, falsehood and a disregard of common decency uec,s sary to the successful propagation of re ligion. Even the Local Option people ought to know '.hat such advocates of their cause as this follow muse bring it into public contempt. This young Stroud, we are informed, edits the organ of the Young Men’s Christian Association, the seini-blas phomous motto of which is “Stand up for Jesu, 1” We submit that lie is a beautiful specimen of a Ch ristian to fill such a position. ‘ THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. For months passed the Federal ad ministration has kept up an excitement about “ consequential damages” de manded from England. These dama ges wore of untold amount, and em braced mainly what was lost by the shipping interests of the country jn consequence of the ravages of the Con federate man of war, the famous Ala bama. As that vessel was built in an English dockyard and sailed on a hostile mission from English waters, it was agreed in the treaty; formed by the “joint high commission” that Great Britian should pay whatever damage she had done. As our commerce was entirely destroyed by the Alabama and other confederate cruisers, the adminis tration set up the pretence that tho troity eimpollejl tho English to pay all the damages. Of course the British protested, and enough high sounding words passed to at least threaten a war. But, ns was maintained by all who had studied the character of our officials, when the crisis came they backed down —backed clear out—and have with drawn their entire “ consequential” claim ! Oh, brave and belligerent Ra dicals ! How bravely you use high sounding words! The truth is, the administration nev er were in earnest. The whole thing was gotten up for political bunkum—to get up a war excitement among the people to distract attention from the thieving and other bad conductor tho administration. When driven to tho wall by the British statesmen they had no other means of escape than an abject and disgraceful withdrawal of their pretensions. That they have disgraced the country, they do riot seem to care for, that they have, failed in making political capital for tho'mttetved, they no doubt deeply regret. Who Stole the $4,000,000? Seeking after an answer to tho ques tion “ Who sold arms to Prance?” has developed the fact, that between the amount haul by tie; Prouob Govern ment and the sum accounted for in the National Treasury, there is a‘difference of four millions of dollars. The matter resolves itself to this: Prance paid our Government fpr arms and munitions of war which belonged to our Government four million dollars more. than Our Government received. This' four mil lion dollars stuck to the fingers of the gentleman to whom the administration entrusted the business of grossly and basely violating tho neutrality laws.— This dirty business is rendered still more dirty by tho fact that urant promised to maintain a perfeoMieutral ity. If a low more ugly features,ofthia selling 1 arms- business are discovered:, the people will begin, tq understand why tho 'President and his adherents are so strongly opposing Investigation.' Thefo tyah a military ring ; Franco was robbed of four million dollars i the Uni ted States wif!> . robbed of four million dollars; the lawjs were violated, and at the very moment tho llepuhlicun party was boasting its sympathy for Prussia, the Administration was selling guns, powder and shot with which to kill Prussians ? Wtio stole tho four million dollars? Can Grant and his relatives exclaim, “ Not.I!” rioi.li is quolcd,in Phlladelphia-at I.M " INSTRUCTED FOS GRANT,” Every delegation : yet nhcwen to the , Republican 'GonveriUon which is to meet in Philri. Juno rieit, lias 1 been “in structed to vote for Grant lor the Pres idential nomination. It might be in ferred from this that the masses of the Republican party are quite unanimous ly iu favor of remlectiug the/man who now occupies the “White House.” And ■that would boan'dntircly falrirtfcrefico,' provided the several State delegations were really chosen and “instructed by the people. Hut the notorious fact is,:- that the delegates, In every instance, have been appointed by those Who hold office under the Administration, and that these office-holders have “instructs eel” their croatiires to nominate their patron and master for the first placoon the Administration ticket.' Now, as the office-holders raako'arid control the delegations to the Philadelphia June .Convention, and as Grant owns and rules the office-holders, it follows logi cally, on the principle that he who acts through others acts himself,,that Grant practically elects and instructs the Con vention to nominate him for a second term. " Is not this a strange and disgraceful proceeding? ‘ Woilld it not be more in accordance with the theory of our ■political system if those Who are to ex ercise so grave a trust as that of naming a candidate for the’Cnief Magistracy of tlie nation, were to consult the people of their respective districts and States, rather than the professional dema gogues and subservient dependents and villains of th- Administration at Washington and throughout the coun try? Whom do the people of the United States want to preside over them and their affairs ought to bo the question ; not who the politicians may prefer.- But in forming a Presidential , ticket the inquiry with those who make it is not—who ,is fittest for the first 'place in the Government, the man best qualified arid disposed to care for and promote the welfare of the people—but .who is the man we can jjest use fqr our selfish purposes—whom can We make most out of—who will be most subject' to our control in the dispensation of Executive patronage and furtherance of our private and partisan interests— who, in a “word, will be the merest pup pet in our hands for all the ends of persorial and party aggrandizement and public plunder? This is the way our Presidents are made. The people are not consulted about it—the popular Welfare is not considered. The whole thing is settled by sordid, self-seeking, unconscionable knaves, who profess the profoundest respect for the 'vox populi, but with whom it always is, vox et proilerctt nihil! 1 The peoplewOte, arid that is all the lot and part they have in the matter.

Lowry and General Allen, the Radical candidate for Auditor General, met at the Read House in that city the other day, wiieu the following conversation ensued : Gen. Allen—“Ah, Senator,” grasp ing him with both hands, ‘‘glad to see you, very glad to see yon.” (After some complimentary remarks.), “I expect to see you in my seat in the Senate next year.” Mr. Lowry—‘‘No, sir ; I wont be in. your seat, I.bavo more respect for my self than to take a seat you have used. You needn’t come your oily gammon over mo, sir. I shan’t vote for you for Auditor General. You are not .fit for it, and the Republican party was dis graced by your nomination.” Morrow B.

Propagation of Forests and Encouragement of Tree Farming,. The bill introduced into the house by Hon. Richard J. Haliioitmn of this Dis trict, for the preservation atiil'nliintlng of trees on the public domains, was de feated on Tuesday by the close vote of-'Bl yens to S 3 nays. The Philadelphia Rec ord, referring to tho matter, matte- the following interesting remark!):;. Tho debate Was ablo and Instructive.— .Mr. HuUlomuu eviuued a practical to promote the purposes of the bill by accepting all tho proposed limoiidmeiits. The remarks of Mosers. Banks, M’Oor-. mlok, Bingham, Storm,. Hawley -and. others in support of'thd bill, as reported in Hie Qlobc, are strikingly Just; and the adverse vote is, doubtless, to be ascribed to Him intrinsic difficulties surrounding any attempt to legislate on the subject, the expeuae-of carrying odt tlie law, (he in terference it might create with laud grants, cities to real estate and laws, and the burdens which it would impose upon settlers. Mr. Banks, nevertheless, de clared that he believed that the great de serts between the Mississippi and the Rocky mountains might be reclaimed aud fertilized by the processes, which would follow the .enforcement of this measure. The natural 1 effect of ■ forests was to retain water in the soil, but by the destruction of forests the , laud, was drained and the water turned into tor rents, which'swept away bridges and de stroyed property. Perhaps another sioh may secure tlie-passage of this oom -, mendable measure,.in some shape, after raatnrer thought and such modifications' as may obviate all objections.. ■ TliO'speeoh of; Mr. Haldeman has been republished In pamphlet form, and sets forth <9vidly tlie importance of the sub ject. He declared that besides the con siderations affecting the navigation of rivers, the rainfall, the fertility ol the soil and the health of the community, we are threatened with a want of timber tr> meet necessities.. Ho declares.that, as to building alone, "twenty million peo ple me living in dwellings chiefly con structed of wood; and nil these are per ishable with time." Mr. Haldeman also notes that our UO,- 000 miles of railroad consume annually Immense quantities of. timber; 21,000 cords of wood are daily consumed in run ning railway trains 00,000 miles of road require 2,500 ties to the mile, and us they must be replaced every live years, an an nual consumption of 30,000,000 ties are (o be added tb this reckoning; : ■ ' ];t is certainly not extravagant to estti mate the future railway, construction as amounting to 10,000 miles a jleaf, which would involve annually i 20,000,000 netV ljea. We shall therefore be ;able to .ap preciate Mr. Haltlempn’s, correctness in declaring that "when we add to all that sources of forest destruction the woudre quired in’ the fencing of these railroads the half million telegraph poles which each year will be required, and the vast amount of destruction of forest by flood and Are, we must be absolutely startled with the conviction that whole provinces of woods which have required a hundred years to grow,' are each.year sweptaway, while nothing is being done by either public authority or privatezeal, to supply the place of that which is destroyed, or protect iu any measure that which ex ists.” It should be added that, besides the interest which we in Pennsylvania have In the subject, as an integral part of the Union, there are certain local in-- dioations 1 which to ‘ us make the subject specially important. It has been Jy asserted and apparently upon unques tioned authority, that the lumber fields of tho atato are annually becoming, un productive, ineomuoh 'tbat in a very few years ,we shall he forced to depend on the .West and the Pacific railroad even for our regular supply of boards. To a man ufacturing State like burs; no calculation of the future date of exhaustion of any important material consumed by, us can be unimportant. We need have no anx iety regarding our coal, our iron, our oil —it would be strange if the, wood requir ed by us should turn out to be our real source of trouble. Anything practical that can be done by congress to cheek the wholesale waste now suffered will be prudent legislation. ■ POLITICAL JOTTINGS, —tlartranft is briefly described . as the man who “borrowed seven thous and dollars from George, O.
