It became generally known and
was on all hands admitted, yester

dividing the preferences of all sections, and
so shaping the local policy of the respective
delegations ai to prepare the way for bring
ing in the Chief .Tustice, at the right mo
ment, without any systematically organized
opposition. ?to this end they have already
made much progress. The Convention
voted that the platform should be adopted
before the candidates were ballotted for. It
was intimated that the platform would be
reported last night, but it is more likely to
be presented to-day. The Convention was
disorderly in the extreme, and its continued
session for several days is regarded as
probable.
A CANDIDATE'S DYING BEQUEST.
Kr. Punmarrop's financial theories gain.
favor daily with the masses of the Eastern
Democracy, but he is himself losing ground,
every hour, in' those high councils of the
party where the masses have little consider
ation and no influence, and where "be is op
posed by politicians who have both public
and private reasons for regarding his propo
sitions with disfavor. The rank and file of
the party in New - York, or the New England
States, have as little direct pecuniary interest
in the mode of payment of the public debt
as the same portion of the party in Ohio or
Illinois. And we should be sate in predict
ing that the greenback theory, practical re
pudiation as it is, will: gain strength more
and more with the Democratic masses of
the:Atlanlic States, the more boldly and per
sistently it shall be''agitated. Nothing
would gave the entire party from the de
moralization so fascinatingly involved in
this new way, to pay old debts, but the fact
that its leading politicians in the Atlantic
States differ fr;om-the mme class in the West
and Northwest in one very important partic
ular—that they arc, individually, wealthier
men and with large means invested in these
securities. It is notorious that, the leading
Democrats in the West, the men who are
the most prominent In conventions and
who publicly and privately control the
party, are, with a very few exceptions, im-
Pecumous adventurers • who live from hand
to month, upon the current plunder of office'
or upon the transient tribute of their
partizans; these fellows are not bond-hold
ers and never will be. If they t b ance at
any, time to come into possession of such
securities, they convert - them into more
convenient cash, and spend the avails as
rapidly as mar be. Not so with the promi
nent leading Democrats of the' Atlantic
States; these are almost invariably men of
larger means,
.who follow politics with an
eye to personal thrift, and lay up their
gettrngs, no matter how goL
Our inference is, that there ,will be no

BRIDGING THE 0111.0.
We are gratified to note the decisive vote
(eighty to twenty-four) by wkich the House
yesterday paned the .ohio River Bridge
bill. Its terms require that all bridges, now
in progress or hereafter to be built, except
that at Louisville, shall have an elevation of
not less than fifty feet above the high-wt
level, and no spans between piers of 1 ,
Akan five hundred feet in
,width. It his
been clearly deMemstrated that these re;
!Trim:tents are not unreasonably at vari
ance with railway interests, and it is also
understood that .tkey are equally satisfsc
- tory to those concerned in navigation. It
is earnestly to be hoped that Senators, who
comprehend the real merits of this question,
and who justly regard the sentiment of the
vast majority of citizens in this Valley, will
see to it that the action of the House Ob
tains the concurrence of the other body, so
that the question may be finally settled,
and upon a basis which' gives general satis
faction. ' •
A CHANCE FOR ALL YOUNG MEN.
One of the West Point mdetships for this
(the XXIId) Congressional District being ,
vacant, the appointment will be conferred
on the young man who may pass highest in
a competitive examination, to be held in
August, by .a competent committee, at the
Western University. Candidates must be
residents of the Congressional District, not
less than seventeen nor more than twenty
two years of age, but any who have served
one year in the army are eligible untiltwen
-ty-fouT. If two or more of the applicants
be found equally qualified, a preferenco
would be given: Ist, to the son of a widow
whose husband fell in the war; 2d, to the
son of a poor parent otparents. The exami

THE following sensible editorial leader
appeared in the Eiening Mail of the 3d, tul

The Midland Railroad.
Ground was broken with due ceremonies
on the construction of the Midland Rail
road at Norwich, Chenango county, on the
afternoon of Tuesday last. We hope and
trust that it is to be vigorously pushed on to
completion.
The Chenango Valley and its 'vicinity
has, since the partial construction of the
Albany and Susquehanna road.'been quite
the most secluded of all the populous sec
tions of our State; while it has a fertile soil,
a thriving industry, and a most intelligent,
energetic people. It needs cheap and ready
access to market; it needs factories and
foundries such AS will follow the iron track;
it needs cheap coal, and ready- intercourse
with the great world—and the Midland
Railroad secures them- all.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
A number of citizens of New York, on
the 24th of June, addressed a letter to
President Johnson, asking permission that
his name be presented to the Democratic
Convention as a candidate for the Presi
dency. Mr. Johnson replied as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. C. July, 1868.—Gen
tlemen : To your friendly inquiry, whether,
if deemed desirable for the preservation
and unity of the Conservative interests of
the country, I would permit my name to be
presented to the Democratic Convention as
a candidate for the office of President of
the United States, I would respectfully re
ply that I am not ambitions of further ser
vice, I may say, indeed, of further endu
rance in that elevated and-responsible po-
Bitten, unless by a call so general
unequivocal that it would be an endorse
ment by the people of my endeavors to de
fend the Constitution and the reserved
rights of the several Commonwealths of
what was once in fact the Federal Union.
Of such approval, in the present temper of
parties, I can perhaps 'have no reasonahle
expectation. All histor proves that
men who, in official GOO, oppose
for any reason the the fished schemes
devised by factions to ace re power, usu
ally find more determined assailants than
open and earnest defenfle . Hence, in re
sisting measures which, though sustain
ed by Congress, I hone.tl believe to be
encroachments neon the natitution, my
task has been made ardno s, and seerning
ly ungracious, by an oppo ition powerfully
weal organized and pons ing a controlling
influence in the ha ,of legisla
tion unprecedented i the history
of the country. Compelled to devote
my entire time to the issues that have
been forced upon me, and to contend
against a majority repreSented by - two
thirds of each House of Congress, I have
been unable, while striving to protect and
maintain the liberties of the people, to
check extra extravagant expenditures for
objects not contemplated by the C4institu
tion, and to lighten the _burden of taxa
tion which now rests oppressively upon the
nation. In tho midst of these embarrass
ments I have not been discouraged. When
from the - public prints, or front
some unusually frank and outspoken
friend, I have heard that I have no varty,
the suggestion has only served to remind
me of a memorable remark, uttered when
faction ruled high in Rome, "that Caesar
had a party, and Pompeii and Cressus each
had a party, but the commonwealth had
one, aiming only, as the representative of
the people to stand by the rights of the
commonwealth." May I :not pertinently
make the application to my own
cue. Constrained in occupying mv posi
tion as the Federal Executive to abide in
silence wrongs and encroachments of the
most insidious as well as desperate char
actera, or, sometimes, when incapable of
arresting them, permitted only to employ
futile protests. Compelled; with only the
privilege of remonstrance, or the terrible
alternative of counter revolution, to resist
revolutionary projects; obliged to stand in
the attitude of a mere spectator whilst the
invaluable time of the nation' has been
wasted in causeless assaults upon
myselfor Ville° for the (meat of a party,
I cannot complain of the people.while wit
nessing have not been able to make my
cause thoroughly their own, the defence of
the Constitution and laWs, their own bat
tle. Until, however, the people's represen
tatives will recognize more plainly the im
perative needs of the country, by lighten-.
ing the burdens of excessive and onerous
taxation and preventing successive impcsts
upon the same article, - beginning with its
crude state and following it through
the successive stages of manufacture to the
final use and cost, the people. being thus
made to pay extortionately and ruinously
these accumulated taxes ; until the time
appropriated in Congress to, partizan
schemes is devoted more to legislating for
the people's wants, the nation will have to
be content.with the mere delusive hope and
promise of better times, since ;mere party
politics will continue to be con
sidered of grafter moment - than the
study and practice of political' econ
omy, the reduction of tariffii, and
making a President of more consequence
than the diminution of national indebted
ness and a return to a sound currency and
specie payments. With - the people then
must rest the eorrention - Or whalever is

as a public servant, and to assure you that
the• approval of the people is all that is
requisite to make me feel that the efforts I
have made to restore the Union, on a basis
of justice and conciliation have not
been altogether in vain. Leaving my
cause and myself in their , hands, should
the continuance and conclusion of the con

cordially acquiesce, as has been my habit,

• CURE OF FISTULA.
Dn. 'Ezra= write to thank you for your kind- fi
ness and scientific management of my disease, for trti
which I called to consult you • some time in January
last. You will remember that I had a complication
of diseases, which finally ended in a terrible fistula. pi
which I had been advised to “let alone, , on ac
count of a harassing cough, which it was feared ri
.might fastest it on my lungs. I knew that the pecn
lair mode of treating diseases like mine was by st
cutting operation, which, if successful at all, would
naturally throw thO4 ll eaentipon the lungs or some
Other vital organ, on account of the auddentiese of
the core and the immediate check to the dischaite,
which I believed was a salutary provision of nature
,to get; rid of some morbid condition of the system. 1-.4
I feel Perfectly satlslied that your method of treat- a
ment, Purifyiug the system, mid loial applicsdarla
to thegstulotta pert, must cure, if anything could. ~,e4

to report myself well in eVerlCJlYlrtlestlar. .#ltn

I would also add that the applications you made
were almost painless, and have left me a new man. N
with all the energies and vigor of restored health. Pf,
