ENDORSEMENT
The several Republican Conventions of
Allegheny county met yesterday and
placed in nomination the very excellen
ticket which finds welcome place at the
head of our columns this morning. The
proceedings of the different bodies were
marked with dignity and decorum, the
only departure being elsewhere noticed,
and, taken altogether, the delegates rep
resented their constituents well riazd faith-
fully. No citizen having the welfare
Of the county at , can justly
ciomplain that unfair or dishonest prac
'tees were,resorted to in any manner
to advance the interests of any gentle
man over those of &rival. Thedelegatee
seemed deeply hnfreesed with the import
ance of selecting the very beat material
offered s tutd peed the ntemst care and cau
tion intframing tke ticket. Indeed, the
candidates presented fornomination were
generally of_ a much higher order than
usual, and a very bad or injudicious se
leotiort 4from among them would have
been difficult to make. •
We are prepared to lend cordial and
hearty support to every gentleman on the
ticket; thiahing sae h to eminently merit
the suffrages of all Republicans, and to
be amply well •nealifiell for the proper
disClutrge of the , duties ef the Position
for which nominated. The resolutions I
adopted we believe fully embody the sen
timents entertained by every good citi
. ien in the eouiity, and form a platform
• on whieh the port) , can safely rest inkthe
important political canvass about
opening•
A RESOLUTION7AND WHAT CAME
OV IT.
In two of the , three Conventions peter
a resolution was regfilarly reported
from the Joint Committee on Resolutions,
which had been `sanctioned by a majority
of that Committee, and which, as adopted
by the County Convention, is numbered
the twelfth in the series. The tenor of
this resolution expresses, in behalf of our
Republican fellow-citizens, their approval
of one of the soundest principles of law,
common to, all Englip-speaking peo
ple, to wit: that no man accused of
misconduct shall be held to be guilty
without adequate proof. In effect
this resolution acquits certain citizen s,
who haire held office at the hands of our
people, of the wild, vague, sweeping im
putations, altogether unsupported by
proof, which have of late been presented
by an unscrupulous journal of this city.
But nevertheless, the equity .r.nti manly
candor of this express reiteration, of a
legal ,principle which has had the con
senting approval of civilization for many
centuries, must, no matter when and
how it presently applies, commends itself
to enlightened and just men, and to all
men who like fair play.
If, incidlitally, the resolution were
also a condemnation of unjustifiable as
saults not only upon personalrepntitions,
but, as well, upon the intelligence and in
tegrity of the entire Reptffilican party of
this county, that was not the fault of the
clear principle which it enunciated: the
pinch would be rather with the slander
ous malignity which has stumbled under
its application. The principle is right,
hit whom it may, and, very- obviously,
only they will complain whom it hits.
The resolution presents a simple truism;
it names no names, it embodies no speci
fications, it neither assails nor defends
any person or party, in its literal terms.
Not a deftgate in either of those Conven
tions could deny its abstract justice.
The. County Convention adopted tha
resolution with a ringing and unani
mous aye; the Judicial Convention omit
ted it from the series, adopting all the
rest, and the Legislative Convention were
not permitted to take any vote upon it
whatever. The action of the firstnamed
body-will meet tbe hearty approval of
every 'Republican who is : honest at
heart and man enough to' say what
he thinks. The second Convention
declined to endorse it by a feeble
vote, at the close of a long and in
teresting dilcussion of which we give a
faithful report, showing which of the del
egates actively opposed this:fair and tem
po:ate expression of Republican: senti
ment—and. why. It will be seen that
District

might be applicable to his always

adroitness which his professional experi
ence and the criminal law has often made
serviceable to an endangered client. On
this point, we have no regrets to express;
we can only confess our surprise that a
Republican Convention in Allegheny
county should have allowed itself to be be
trayed into a glaringly false p os iti on
by such an unsafe leader. Their grave
midst ° is in part to be explained by the
tact that A. J.'s official , friend talked
against , time and until everybody was
Wearied out. But when Mr. LB.
nattsp so far forgot the; proprieties of the
Idtitstlopf of parlisateritity tor, of

committee-room, and c.ff the well-bred
gentleman, as to state that the resolution
ban written by the editor of the Gnarl's,
it was left to us only the duty of regretting
that he did not state the whole truth. If,
instead of invidiously , singling out the
one resolution as the work of that
writer, he had stated ' that the entire
series were prepared by the same
hand, he would certainly have been more
truthful,. even if he had damaged his case.
The law, with which he is familiar, holds
that the suppression of apart of the truth
is equivalent to the asaerrien of a falsehood.
We leave the applidation of the maxim,
to his juridical mind, and to the opinion of
hit and our fellow-citizens.
The third Convention were not per
!bitted to take any action upon the reso
lution.,l Its sub-committee, of th.ree mem
bers appointed to join similar committees
from the other bodies, to constitute a
Joint committee on Resolutions for all,
consisted of litessrs.Thomas Steel, John
E.*Paike and I James A. Taylor. The
two latter tottended the joint meeting
and approoed the resolution, - voting with
the majority for its adoption. They hand
ed the • joint report to theft
I 1240-Clialrgifillf Mr. Steel, who' read
it attentively and said to them that he
did not like to report it, adding some con
-1 siderations upon paTty policy as he under
stood it. JudgePessx and , Mr. Tavion
„remonstrated with him, dwelling upon
the fact that the whole series was adopted
by the authorized Committee, that they
individually supported this resolution,
and that he had no option but to submit
it to the Convention. Mr. &am., nev
ertheless, saw fit to take upon himself the
right of revising' the work of a
Committee which he had not 'found it
worth his while to attend, overriding, the
, judgment and" instructions of : his two
colleagues, eitherpne of whom is qulte his
1 equal in perional privilege, Intelligence,
[ probity and the public respect, and
mothered the resolution by putting it in .
his pocket and keepivit there. Evidently,
he felt that he could not trust the judg
ment of the Convention, any more than
of his colleagues, upon the plain maxim
I - ,•
of lustice, and the vindication of Repub-
Hain integrity which the-resolution em
bodies. He submitted the other rescilu
-11 tions, wholly suppressing this, which,
for reasons, did riot meethia approbation.
His colleagues had no suitable oppor
.unitY for piesenting it afterwards t and
it remained, smothered by Mr. Srs.s„,tv.
They were indignant at his treatment of
them perSonally and of the trust confided
to him and them by the Convention.
,
Subsequently, they authorized a delegate
to offer the resolutions with a
lull statement of these fact%' but
it was then late, the Con
vention almost st the sama moment
ae.journing. Nor ' this all of a needful ex
plarramn. Mr. Srszns was a delegate
from the Second ward. He was avowed
ly friendly to a particular candidate for
the Senate. That resolution would have
done to his frit:nd but a himple justice.
Before the Convention closed, 'he was
made aware that its suppression was re.
garded as among other things an inten
tional betrayal of that friend. And he
was left wholly without even the
shadow of a defence against this
exposure, the facts of which are stated upon
authority. Mr. Smut has thus made a
grave mistake. He has assumed quite too
much of authority,_ with his equals on
the Committee, and with the Convention
which gave to him no such power's: They
will know how much to confide to him
hereafter. And Aso , will -the . candidate
who trusted fatally to hisfritindship. Did
.. , . ,
it require that abuse of a high trust, or
that - betrayal of a friend, to feed fat his
ancient grudge against another?
POLITICS are necessarily cruel. Many.
disappointments are in store for those who
enter the arena, and the adept in the sci
ence acquires, as his first and most useful
lesson, the art of receiving defeat philo
sophically and with good humor: Yes
terday before the Conventiona assembled
there were many gentlemen who entered
the lists for nominations with ibll hope
and rosy expectation, but who, in - the
end, retired with the one crushed and the
other set to rest in the reality of a reverse.
To their credit, however, be it said, tha
without exception, they gracefully accep
ed the situation and acknowledging the
will of the majority, whesitatingly en
(lmbed the nominees and promised' to
work diligently to accomplish their elec
tion,

CoL. JOSEPH Bitowxs, the gallant
soldier who was nominated for Clerk of
the Courts, yesterday, over an equally
worthy competitor, is confined to his bed
from sickness contracted in the army.
His nomination was fresh evidence that
the great Republican party does not pro
pose toi Lenore' the claim of the gallant
soldiers who fought our battles, but, is
prepared to award them that full recogni
tion due their services.
Tan Legislative ticket
_nominated by
the Republican Donvention is one of the
strongest that could be made. Messrs.
Ilusinutzys and TAYLOR, of • the last
Legislateiehwere renominated, while all
the remaining candidates are new men—
not new in experience, however. No
Republican can bolt the ticket or Borstal
a name from it, if he is desirous of being
fully, fhirly and honestly repreiented at
narrifS.blll7..
IB TIIE College of the Apostles, or the

offices on the Democratic ticket in the

not vote for them.- I Post.

TEAT "Wonderful Physical Medium,"
named Read, who has been giving seances
in Springfield and other places, going
through remarkable performances with
ropes, etc., wasn't sharp enough to de
ceive the Yankees in Connecticut. Sev
eral citizens of Waterbury who went to
his exhibition put some printer's ink upon
the ropes, and afterwards discovered that
none of it had'been rubbed off on Read's
hands. ' It had been noticed that 'Read

Committee, prior to placing the same on
his arm through one sleeve. Mr. Mer

chair beside the "medium. The gas was

the gas flashed over Munson's head, the
"committee" sprang upon_ the platform,

him by the arm, and although he cried at
the top of his voice "No light! no light!"
and worked with the energy of despera

was overpowered and held in stain guo.
He had succeeded in inserting his fingers
in the rope, bat his thumb and hand were•
