GREEL'EN'S NO:IINATIp!V
The nomination of 'Joiner Gam=
LEV by the Cincinnati convention,
took everybody by surprise,and puts
the democrats, who aro expected to
furnish the votes to elect the ticket
in a " tight place." The leaders of
that party will, have hard work to
induce the rank and file to support
one who has always been a bitter
opponent of their principles. Equal
ly unpleasant must it be for 11r.Garr.-
LEY, to find himself in the embrace
of those who have traduced him for
a quarter of a century, but his great
desire for the Presidency- will un
doubtedly reconcile him to any per
sonal hiunillation which the eiders of
treason and rebellion may require of
him.
Personally, We believe Mr. GREE
LEY to be honest, but his political as
sociates, the 'men through whose in
fluence he has been nominated, are
among the most notoriously corrupt
men in the country. Ex-Governor
FENTON, ofNew Tork,the Brants, and
ALEN Mcaunr., are too well known,
to able to deceive true Republicans.
They . are all men ivho When placed
in power by the party, have brought
reproach and shame upon it through
their corruptions. Could GREELEY,
if elected, honestly administer the
governthent with such men as his
advisers? Besides, ithe receives the
support Of the democratic party, the
leaders of that party, JEFF ; DAVIS and
all, must be admitted to his councils,
and 'will have great influence in shap
ing his policy.
We have no fears however, that
Mr. GREELEY will ever occupy the
Presidential chair. The loyal people
of this country cannot so soon forget
the services of the man who saved
the nation. But for the services GRANT
rendered the country, when a large
portion of the democratic party were
attempting,to overthrow the govern
ment we should not now have a
country to govern. Gen. GRANT...is
not only the choice of the Republican
party,but of the loyal people through
out the land.
TILE NOMINATIaNS
The 'Ducks county Intelligences•
says the ticket norain..ted by the Re
pul)lican State Convention "will give
general satisfaction, " aitd,adds :
"The-three gentlemen who have been select
ed to head the ticket arc widely and favorably
known, and have all had great experience in
public business. Their reputations are good
and pure, and the voters of the State may safe
ly rely upon them for a faithful and intelligent
discharge of their official duties. The Republi
cans of the State have the strength to elect
these candidates, and they will do it if they are
not hopelessly disheartened and divided by thu
selfish folly of would-be lea•lers.
There is no (ling' er of the Repub
lican masses being-"disheartened" or
"divided " by the, " selfish folly of
would-be leaders " whose disappoint
el ambition has made grumblers of
them.. The masses of the party are
too devotedly attached to its princi
ples to be led astray or paralyzed by
the efforts of a few embittered
"would-be leaders."
=OLT=
Efir The soldiers who underwent,
all the hardships and privationsin
eident to camp life and especially the
survivors of the'prison pens at An
dersonville, Florence, Saflisbary and
Belle Isle, will hardly vote for'the
man who made a journey to Rich
mond to bail JEFFERSON DAVIS: The
prisoners of war who suffered the
untold cruelties perpetrated upon
such of our soldiers as fell into the
hands of the rebels, understand per
fectly well that their inhuman treat
ment was part of a deliberately con
trived plan on the part of the Con
federate GUI - eminent, and that such
poor wretches as Wniz were but the
tools in the hands of DAVIS and his
Cabinet. HoitAr.. Car.m.tycould eas
ily have satisfied himself on this
point had he thought it worth his
while. He evidently considered more
deeply the inconvenience of confine
mentsto one leading rebel than the
unheard-of misery of the thousands
who yielded up their lives that he
might bid for the votes of their per
secutors in a united country. Verily
he shall have his reward.

pilE ciNctxxAil TICKET
The New York Eyniny Post which
has beeJi an earrestj, advocate of the
Cincinnati Inovemet,• is not satisfied
with the ticket. Li speaking of GEr..l:-=
Lty says :
Greeleys political associations and
intimacies are'sb Lad that we can ex
pect nothing from] him, in cake, to
his misfortune and ours, lie should
be elected, but "a co rapt administra
tion of affairs. Er , rybody is aware
of his intimacy with Fenton of the
Senate. If there is a corrupt and
dishonest politician! in the Itind,there
is nu man who has a better claim to
be so considered than Reuben E.
Fenton. His aura ter is well known
Co Greoley, yet is h Greeley's-bosom
friend and coups llor in politics.
Without a siEgle is ea .of what public
virtue or principl means, lie is a
most shrewd andi skilful political
manager. It was probably through
his intrigneS more than through any
otter influence,that Greeley succeed
ed in obtaining the nomination.
The same facilities for entering in
to close association with dishonest
men has marked the whole of Gree
ley's career. Greeley has no settled
political principles with one excep
tion. It is a serious objection to any
candidate for any office of high polit
ical trust, that he has no well defin
ed standard'of right in his own mind
by which to try any measure of any
course of proceeding that may be
proposed. This is one of Greeley's
great deficiencies. Any aspect of a
public measure which looks -plausi
ble satisfies him, and he drifts back
ward aid forward upon the shifting
currents of expediency. It has been
said of him as -a politician, and we
believe with some truth, that ho has
been on every side of every public
question that has come up save one,
and that brings us to another objec
tion to him as a candidate.
The Port concludes as folloWs
" With such a head as is on his
shoulders, the affairs of the nation
could not under his direction be
wisely administered. With such
associates as he has taken to his
bosom, they could not be aihninis ;
tercil with common' integrity."

Ulm of Tbethitd day formulated
the labors , of tbe convention, and re
lated in the nomination of "BOUM
Gala= for President,- and Gam
IfiloWs for Vice Preaident. The an
ti-Gaut sy element is greatly dissat
isfied with the nomination, and the
Philadelphia Age, New York World
and other leading democratic jour=
nails say that the democratic party
cannot support him, but wiliplace a
I ticket of their own in nomination.
The following platform was adopt;
ed: -
it Gf Republican
We the Liberal ,Republicans of the United
States in National Convention assembled at
Cincinnati, proclaim the te n ting principles as
essential to Just Governme nt
First. We recognize the na li ty of all men
illTig
before the law, and hold th at tis the duty of
Government In all its dealings with the people
io mete but equal and exact justice to all, of
whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion,
religious or polit.- 1. :- -
&cond. We pledge ourselves to maintain the
Union of these States, emancipation and en
franchisement, and to oppose reopening of
the questions settled by the thirteenth, four-.
teenth, and fifteenth amendments of the Con
stitution.
Third. WO demand the immediste and abso
lute removal of all disabilities imposed on so-
count of the rebellion, which was finally sub
dued seven years ago, believing that universal
amnesty will result in complete pacification of
all sections of the country.
Fourth. Local self-government, with impar
tial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citi
zena more securely than any centralized power
The public welfare requires the supremacy of
the civil over the military authority, and free
dom of peraon under the protection of the ha
beas corpus. We demand for the individual
the largest liberty consistent with public order,
for the State self-government, and for the na
tion a return of the methods of peace and the
constitutional limitation of power.
fifth. The civil service of the Government
has become a mere instrument of partisan tyr
anny and personal ambition, and an object of
selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach up
on free institutions, and breeds a demoraliza
tion dangerous to the perpetuity of Republican
government. We therefore regard a thorough
reform of the civil service as one of the most
pressing necessities of the hour. ' • that honesty,
capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid
damns to public employment; that theoffices
of the Government cease to be a matter of ar
bitrary favoritism and patronage, and that
public station become again a post or honor.
To this end it is imperatively requrotr that no
President shall bo a candidate for te-election.
Stith. We demand a system of Federal taxa
tion, which shall not unnecessarily interfere
with the industry of the people, and which
shall provide the means necessary to pay the
expenses of the Government economically ad
ministered, pensions, the interest of the public
- debt, and a moderato reduction annually of the
principal thereof; and recognizing that there
ate in our =list honest but irreconcilable dif
ferences of opinion with regard to the respect
ive systems of protection and free trade, we re
mit the discussion of the subject to the people.
in their Congressional districts and to the de
cision of Congress thereon wholly free otExec
alive interferences or dictation.-
&Tenth. The public credit must be sacredly
maintained, and we denounce repudiation in
every form and guise. -
Eighth. A speedy return to specie payments
is demanded alike by the highest considerations
of commercial morality and honest govern
ment.
VENTI.ON.

Ansoss and S
Ninth. We remember with gratitude the he
roism and sacrifices of the soldiers and sailors
of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever
detract trom their justly earned fame or tho
full rewards of their patriotism.
Tenth. Wo are opposed to all further grants
of lands to railroads or other corporations.
Tho public domain should be sacred to actual
settlers.
Rierehth. We hold that it is the duty of the
Government, in its intercourse with foreign na
tions, to caltiVate friendship and peace by
treating with all on fair and equal terms, re
wading it ahko dishonorable either to ask
what is not right, or to submit to what is
wrong.
Twelfth. For the promotion: and success of
these vital principles, and tho 3 support of the
candidates nominated by this' convention, we
invite and cordially welcome the co-operation
Of all patriotic citizens, without regard to pre
vious political affiliations.
The opponents of Gen. Herrutxrr,
in the Republican ranks, and the
democratic press of this State,togeth
er with the N.Y. Tribune, are contin
ually referring to that gentlenian in
connection with the EvAxs steal, in
the face of the fact that a. committee
composed of Republicans and demo
crats, appointed by the last Legisla
ture made a report fully exonerating
him from any complicity in the mat
ter. In further answer to these elan
ders wo copy the following statement
of the facts connected with EVANS'
transactions from the Bearer Radical:
"THAT Evans Bcsums.—ln 1867 the Tenn.
Sylvania Legislature authorized Gov. Geary to
appoint an agent to collect the war claims of
the B:ate. Gov. Geary appointed 'George 0.
Evans. Ile waivauthonzed to charge a commis
sion not ex ...ceding ten per cent. Gov. • Geary
required him to report progress every six
mouths to him. do such trpoit was made.
In 1867 Gen. Hartranft was Auditor-General
as he is to-day. W. IL Kemble was State Treas
urer. On May Ist, 1868, W. W. Irwin succeed
ed Kemble. On May Ist, 1800, Mackey succeed
ed Irwin. On May Ist, 1870 Irwin succeeded
Mackey. On May Ist, 1871; Mackey again suc
ceeded
No - information had been communicated to
the Treasury, or auditing departments, that
any large amount of money had-been collected
by Evans, until it was developed in August,
11171, that lie held some 3320,000. No report of
tnis was filed; but attention was attracted to it
by the final settlement at Washington.
Evans being called - upon to pay over, gave a
check for the sum of 330,000, and claimed the
right to retain the bilance, 3201,000, as his
commission of ten per cent. upon his collections.
Of this commission, • 3200,000 accrued upon a
Inpudation of an account stated between the
State and the UnitectStates, in the adjustment
of which no money passed, and upon which the
State officials claimed that no commission could
accrue. The State authorities demanded that
the entire amount of money in the bands of
Evans should be paid into the Treasury, and
that the question of his compensation should
subsequently be judicially ascertained. Evans
refused.
ilartranft at once . instituted proceedings
against Evans, both and criminal. Coder
the latter Evans was arrested, imprisoned two
mentha.and flatly released upon tail by Judge
Pearson. Loth cases aro still pending, and
were continued by Evans at the last term of
the Dauphin county courts.
lii4anuary last a committee of tlie Legisla
ture, of xineli William A. Wallace, Chairman of
the Democratic Mate Central Committe, is a
member, Was appointed to investigate the mat
ter.
Grant is a candidate - for the Republican nom
ination for President. Hartranft was a candi
date for the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. - The New York Son and
New York Tribune are bitterly hostile to the
former, and regarded the latter as his favorite.
Evans and his friends determined to strike at
ifartranft and Mackey in return for what they
termed relentless prosecution, and did it by
charging through the columns of these papers
that these gentlemen and others had them
selves been partners in the profits of the Evans
claimc. Ac. The friends of the rival candidates
for th e Gubernatorial nomination accepted the
-charges as the best method of disposing of a
formidable competitor.
The Legislative Committee laid its hand up
on the Sun, the Tribune, and the Evans gang.
It appeared from- the testimony of gentlemen
connected with the two newspapers, that the
charges were false, amp were concocted to coin
plicate the Evans case, and for political
Geo. 0. Evans, himself, finally swore that no
State official had, received, or had anyconnee- -
tion with any of the profits of his collections.
The legislative committee reported that there
was nothing to cast a shadow of don upon'
Gen. Hartranft, and that the s • 'newspa
per charges against him were se, Mi. Wal
lace, the Democratic Chairman, signing the re
port.
A general retraction from the press followed,
though the newspapers in the interest of his
rivals, were loth to let go their only hope for
BUCCeRS.
The newspapers in the Republican party
which still endavor to raise a cloud of suspi
cion; or make trouble otherwise, aro of three
classes—
First. Those who gokso deeply into the mire
in' endeavoring to defeat Hartman's nomina
tion, that it requires some time and science to
get out.
Second. Those that are really against Grant
and Hartranft, and are looking to the Cincin-,
Uti Convention u their guideburd.
Third. Those that aro in the EVIIII interest,
-and, having got their share of the plunder or
been otherwise benefited, have been upon the
side of the robbers all the time, acid have never
tittered a word of denunciation of them.' The
latter aro readily detected, if their readers can
int
recollect their course when t the rubbery
was discovered.

Up to the present, ten prisoner, hug been
arraigned before the Court. Of tttete, six:
pleaded guilty of conspiracy. The Jury in two
cue; brought in a verdict of" guilty; one for
conspiracy, and the other for conspiracy iitd
litlinkc. In the remaining two caws, it failed
to agree. - -
Of the prisoners so far arraigned, all belong
tothe lower class.. la appearance, they aro
anything but Prepossessing, sallow-complex
ioned, long-haired, unshaven, and wit/i. faces
stamped with a vacancy of expression which
tells of en utter !rant of - culture, mental or
moral. Clad in dirty bonitaspun gray, they are
counterparts Of the rank/and-file, who fought
the battles of the confederacy at the bidding of
their betters, and having failed in that, have
since, at the same bidding, been striving to
retrieve their defeat by means which raise their
former alerts almost to the place of heroism..
Yet, in looking at these ignorant and.repul
sire specimens of humanity, overtaken at last
by long deleyed Justice, one's feelingitare those
of pity rather than resentment. That they
were the tools of others, loons - intelligent, no
one /ail' doubt. , Their bands did the work, but
their brains never conceived such a systematic
crusade against all law, human *Anil divine, as
that just brought to a summary end.
As to the testimony, it was the old story c a f
armed and disguised bands ; of midnight raids;
of scourging' and whipmngs and murders ; of
converting Radical negroes into orthodox dem
ocrats by a judicious application of ramrods
and hickories applied to the bare back; of oaths
of renunciation exacted with a rope around the
neck, or a revolver at the head ; -of nameless ,
outrages worthy only of fiends.
The murder of ono Charley Good, a promi
nent bririnfluental negro Radical, illustrates
their method of doing this kind of business.
His only offence seems to have been that ho
was a Republican in politica, and at the same
time possessed considerable influence among
his sable brethren. He had been previously
visited by the In-klnx, severely beaten, and
told never to vote again the Radical ticket. A
few drys after the whipping, he was indiscreet
enough to tell some of his neighbors that be
thought he knew some of the men who had
beaten him. The sequel can easily be imagin
ed. A few nights after he was waylaid near
his own house by a disguised band of these in
defatigableapostles of Democracy, taken to an
ont-of-thearay place, tied toe sapling with his
own suspenders, and shot In cold blood. Bul
lets not fielebing the work quickly enongh,they
ended the tragedy by smashing in his skull
with their gun-stocks. Two days after, all the
Mans in the neighborhood were ordered out to
bury the body; and thus, by implicating all in
tbe bloody deed, prevent 'any from disclosing
the dangerous secret. They carry his body to
th 3 river, load it with some old plow-shears
and throw it into the stream ; and then,. to
Make assurance doubly sure, one of their num
her jumps upon it and with long, sharpened
stakes, pins it and their guilty secret to the
bottom of Broad river.

Number of Firemen injured.
FIRST DISPATCH
Nan• Yonx, May G-Noon—A fire
broke lent in Niblo's Theatre at_ au
early hour this morning, and was first
seen at 7:90 A. m, when it had gained
considerable headway.
The Fire Department were quickly
on the ground butrwere unable to
save Niblo's Theatre, Which is entire
ly.clestrdyed inside.
The store lately eccupied by Heim
bold was also completely destroyed.
There was some damage to the
Metropolitan Hotel and to three or
four dwellings, but it was slight.
It is said that three or four firemen
are missing and it is feared that they
perished in the flames.
It is impossible at present to give
the loss.
SECOND DISPATCH
NEW YOIIR, May 6-Ir. u.-It is now
estimated that the loss of the Metfo
politau Hotel by the fire this mor
ning exeeZd $300,000. Loss of Jar
rett fi Palmer, lessees 'of Niblo's
Theatre, over $200,000 and loss on
the Helmbold building very heavy.
The fire originated ii the dome,
where.some repairs were being made,
and.eatehing among the scenery of
the stage, soon enveloped the wlible
building in flames.
The heat was so intense that the
gas pipes melted and an explosion of
gas ensued causing considerable
confusion. Captain Clinchy was
seriously injured and four fireman
were .nearly suffocated.
It is believed that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.
THIRD DISPATCH
NEW YORK, May, G-a- r.
one wall' of Niblo's theatre is left
standing. A contract was made
this noon to have it re-built by Au
gust. All the scenery of Lalla Roolib,-
belonging t o the Grand Opera Thea
tre, which had been transfered to
Niblo,s was burned, entailing a loss
of twenty five-thousands dollars.
The building was owned .by Stewart,
the dry goods man.
The different actors and actresses
at Niblo,s lose from one hundred to
one thousand dollars worth of prop
erty each. A meeting of the dramat
ic profession will be held to morrow
to adopt measures of relief for the
sufferers, and the various theatres in
the city have alredy tendered bene
fits.
The loss to the Metropolitan Hotel
was entirely by water, and amounts to
about fifty, thousand, dollars. The ad
joining building owned by H. Beadel
was damaged ten thoniand dollars.
Several Masonic and other lodges
of secret orders loss heavy by the
destruction of the hall over Niblo's
Of the seven Republican Sena
tors'who voted against the deposition
of Andrew Johnson when impeached
by the House of Representatives,
three—Grimes, Fessenden and Van
Wrinkle—have passed away, while
the remaining four—Trumbull, Ross,
of, Kansas, Henderson, of Missouri,
and 'Fowler 'of Tennessee—are all
enthusiastic supporters of the Cin
cinnati movement.
And Horace :Greeley, who traveled
all_the way to Fortress Monroe in
order to bail Jeff. Davis from prison,
has been kindly remembered by Mr.
Davis' friends with a nomination for
President. John C. ' preekinridge
was the personal advocate of Gree
ley's aomination at Cincinnati.
Perin 1861 about ono third of the
Republican members of the National
House of Representatives, headed by .
Henry Winter Davis, opposed the
nomination of Mr. Lincoln. It is a
