Tae Laiior Reformers Tho Labor
U'.lbnn Convention metatWilliamsporton
Wednesday last. It was composed ol dei-
hard-working men, having literally worked
themselves into nnd out of nearly all the
pulitic.il factions iu existence. Mr. Siney
was chosen FrcsiJuut of tho Convention.
Judging from the proceedings published, it
was not very harmonious, ns it is reported
that there was "much w rangling and angry
dispute and accusation." V. V. Sehcll, of.
Bedford, was nominated for Governor',
lion. James Thompson for Supreme Judge t
and Esaias Billingfclt, of Lancaster, for '
Auditor General. The latter gentleman i
was nominated without his consent, aud i
will, no doubt," promptly deolino the empty
hniior. Senator Iluckalew had consented ,
to acu'.cpt tho nomination for Governor, j
from tho workiugmen, if ho was 6ure to re- j
ceive tho endorsement of the Rcadiug Con- ,
volition. He wan not successful, however, j
in receiving tho nomination, nnd the quee-
tiou will now recur -"whnl will he do ;
about it V" - j
J. W. Cake, of this place, was nominated
as ono of the Coiigtesiimeu at large, nud
Rev. J. J. Reinieiisuydcr, also of this bor-
ongh, was selected lor tho Constitutional
Convention.
AN informal conference of the Demo
crats of the House nnd Senate has been
held at Washington, and it was decided to
keep silent as to tho liue of policy to bo
pursued until after the Democratic Conven
tion. It i understood that they will bo
governed somewhat by tho action of the
Philadelphia Convention. Tho indications
are that they will nominate straight-out
candidates wi a Ik'mncHttic platform.
Tub staior editor of the Dtmomtic
(iitanl, who wai also a self-constituted del
egate to the Cincinnati Convention, reports
that it waa one of tho most "liberal," con
ventions ho has ever attended. Democrats,
Republicans, and Labor Union, were al
lowed to participate without any questions
asked. How will our neighbor recoucile

Greelky and Brown the Choice of
the Cincinnati Convention. Tho
mongrel Convention which met at Cincin
nati last week, closed ou Friday, after
placing in. nomination Horace Grooley, of
tho New York Tribune, for President, and
B. Gratf Brown, of Missouri, for Vice
President. ., Tin Convention did not prove
the most harmonious. Tho adoption of
tho platform was tho most difficult part.
It appears however, that in tho beginning
all the factious were ruled by tho Free
Traders and malcontent Republicans. Tho
convention having been summoned by a
body of avowed free traders, advocating
a low tariff, and soma of them no tariff at
all, il wits natural that much dissatisfac
tion would result when it came to tho eroc
tion of a platform whereon the two oppo
site were to take their stand. This, how
ever, was accomplished by a complete) de
fent of the free trado factions which the
convention exhibited. Its material was of
their choosing. It was not a delegated
body that could bo packed by hostilo influ
ences for a particular purpose. It was a
mass convention open to all agrceiug with
its purposes, and thoso who attended were
kaown as malcontents with tho national
administration. The result shows that,
while the protectionist:! as a mass arc satis
fied with the Republican administration
and Congress, tho friends of protection are
so numerous everywhere that no conven
tion, claiming to be composed of mombers
of the Republican organization, can bo
held in which they will not bo powerful.
I In the delegations from New England and
the Middle States, the votes for Free Trade,
in tho Cincinnati Convention, would have
been hardly worth counting.
The nomination of Horace Greeley by
the convention was received everywhere
with a broad grin of merriment, and the
deliberations of the convention, as far as
his nomination is concerned, were looked
upon as a fitting conclusion of a movement
which had its origin iu the bitter notes of
I disappointed nud played out politicians
wllich crowu9 itself wUh fl,rceai efruci. 0f
Mr. Greeley wo cannot say anything disre
spectful, lie is a venerable citizen who

served distinction., but he will not bear
comparison with tho patriot soldier who
terminated gloriously the civil war iu ono
year after ho was chosen commander-iu-chief
; who has paid off three hundred and
twenty-seven millions of the national debt,
and suppressed the Ku Klux conspiracy at
the south.
Mr. Greeley has made himself notorious
for a siugular want of even temper, nnd a
disposition to use rough, unmannerly epi
thets. In fact, he is a man of sharply de
fined prejudices and personal likings nud
dislikings, full of whims and crotchets, nud
with nu Unaccountable fondness for mak
ing extreme concessions nt the most unfor
tunate crisis. Wo cannot imagino a more
indiscreet or imprudent party leader;
while as the chief magistrate of a great na
tiou he would somewhat resemble a bull in
a china shop. His course iu going bail for
Jefiei6on 11a vis was supplemented by his
severe censures of tho unfortunate Union
ists of the south, duriiv' his southern tour.
ft(1 tukcn t0),cli,cr these instances leave no
doubt that as President his proclivities
would be all in the same direction.
B. Grabs Brown, the nominee for Vice
President by this convention, is ono of the
most radical free-traders iu tho country
an agitator and mischief maker of the
purest quality, and has been for years iden
tilied with the corruptions which have ren
dered Missouri politics so fearfully obnox
ious. How Greeley can cast off his old fa
miliar protective garments aud adopt free
trade Grntz Brown ns his companion is uot
easily understood, unless it is in the hope
of reaching the Presidential chair in his
latter days, to which lie has beeu casting
an eye for a number of years past. But to
expect to place a free trader along side of
him, in a position where he can do an in
jury to the nation, in this ngc, is impossi
ble. The people have not yet forgotten
"Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of '42," and
how they were betrayed by the Vice Presi
dent. It is not likely they will at this time
elect one who it is known would cast his
vote ngaiust them. Breckeuridge, Blair,
nud other friends of Jeff Davis, who per
sonally interested themselves, at tho Cin
cinnati Convention, to secure the nomina
tion of Greeley and Brown, will find thai
their adherents are few, and that tho Lib
eral movement is well understood nud will
end iu smoke.
It would bo folly to speculate ou tho
pmbablo courso of the Democratic party.
Our impression is that they will nominate
a separate ticket iu the hope of electing it.
But if they 6hould not, we Bee no likelihood
that the body of the Democratic masses
can be induced to vote for Horace Greeley
in preference to Ulysses S. Grant. If the
Democratic party is to bo disbanded we do
I uot doubt thnt the majority of them will
join tho Ik-publican standard. Should a
separate Democratic ticket bo nominated,
tho Cincinnati nominees will havo a small
and extremely select body of supporters.
It is most amusing to hear mcii talk of
libor reform who have been advocating the
Democratic policy of opeuing our ports to
the free competition of the pauper labor of
Europe, by which tho laboring men of
America would be brought to tho level of
the agricultural population of England,
where the best field hands do not get above
two shillings a day. Give tho free trade
Democracy power for four years, and men
who uow havo work at wages out of which
they can support their families aud "put
by a penny for a rainy day," will find it
dinicult to get employment by which they
can cam bread.

Hon. John B. Packer. It is very evi
dent, from the tone of the press In this
Congressional district, that the Hon. John
B. Packer Is the unanimous choice for ro
nomluatlon, by the Republican party, for
Congress. The pcoplo are beginning to
sco tho advantages of retaining In office
their best men. Mr. Packer, during his
terra, has sustained the position to such a
high degree, that his constituents will be
honored by returning him to tho Natidtinl
Hall of Legislation. We hopo that the
pcoplo will continue to press his re-nomination,
nnd get him to consent to servo them
longer. Last week wo copied tho senti

Hon. John B. Packer. In to-day's
issue wo fling to the breczo the namo of
Hon. Jolin'B. Packer for re-election to
Congress, from this district. It was a fa
vorite expression of late President Lincoln,
that it was a "poor lime to swap horses in
crossing a stream," nnd so we-regard it, at
this time when tho friends of Freo Trade
aro making a mighty effort to strangle
American Protection, a poor time to refuse
to recognize the services of one who stands
head and shoulders nbovo tho majority of
lits colleagues, in our National Hall of
Ix-gislntion. Mr. Packer is tho strongest
man in the district; his nomination would
be a tower of strength to our Slate Ticket
in this district. We feci confident that Mr.
Packer can carry his own county, nnd
would at least have a majority of 2,000 iu
this district. With Packer success will bo
sure to follow. Mr. Packer is an earnest
friend of Protection ; his voice and volo is,
aud ever will be, raised in defence of his
Stale and Nation. In him the laboring
man has a true, and tried defender. Sny

Fish Way. Mr. J. D. Brewer, of Mini
fy, lias invented a plan by which he claims
mat the obstacles to the tree migration ol
1'ish, up ami down our rivers, obstructed by
dams can he removed. It consists in sc
ries of isosceles, or equilateral triangles ex
tending from tho opposite sidewalk in the
shuteofa dam, aud laid in tho bottom
thereof, so ns to form a zig-zag course and
leaving an open space of about twelve in
ches wide, more or less, between thu trian
gles nnd the walls of tho schuto, for tho
passage of fish up and down said schute."
Tho principle is that the water passing
swiftly over the triangles, forms nueddy of
that between the triangles, aud fish are en
abled to pass up without difficulty. It may,
however, be placed auywherc in a dam.
The foot of the sluice is placed cveu with
the lower side of the dam at tho bottom and
cxteids up iuto tho dead water above tho
dam. But it is claimed Ihat it has advan
tages used as a sehulc as well as a tish
way. The arrangement is such that when
used as sehutu nnd lish way combined, the
water will be higher at the sides than iu tho
centre, nnd then when a craft cutcrs, it
will W held in the ccutro and pass ou
through witheut strikeing tho sides. In
the ordinary schutes tho water has a ten
dency to raise iu the centre, and throw the
craft on ono side or tiiC other. The short
supply of lish in the upper waters of tho
Susquehanna, owing to tho dame in the
river, nas been a subject tnat lias attracted
the attention of the people as well as our
law makors, for some tiiuo past, and any,
thing that can aid in dom" awav with this
evident fact will bo desirable.

A SURVEY - OF THE SITUATION.
Cincinnati, May 4. After the adjourn
ment of the Liberal Republican Convention
yesterday, tho delegates wero not long iu
finding tlioir way to the hotels and bos rd-Ing-houses,
which have, since the com
mencement of the week, been filled to reple
tion. Tho reception rooms were soon
crowded with excited delegates and friends
of tho Liberal movement, who wero busy
discussing the results of tho day's work.
In soma of tho hotels speeches wero made
by enthusiastic delegates, approving tho
courso of tho convention, while everywhere
the nomination was the solo topic of con
versation. Tho larger number of delegates
appeared decidedly satisfied with tho issue
of iheir labors, but tho excitement at tho
termination of the convention was not all in
THE SHAPE OF RATIFICATION.
At College Hall a meeting of Ohio dele
gates was hold, which comprised about
half of the Ohio delegation to the Liberal
Convention, and which turned out to bo
very stormy. Judge W. B. Sloane, of Port
Clinton, was called to the chair. The
larger number ol delegates made speeches,
and Bomo of them wero denunciatory and
exciting, while others counselled modera
tion and consideration. Among the most
prominent were Judgo Hondley, who was
ono of tho Committeo on Resolutions. He
said that Judgo Stanley Matthews, -the
temporary President, John W. John, as
well ns himself, had left the convention in
disgust.
Judge Sloano said he had been originally
an Adams man, but there was no evidence
that Greeley aud his friends had practiced
fraud upon the convention, and until he
had such evidence lie should adhere to tho
nomination. Ho believed it was for the in
terests of the country Hint there should be
a complete change in the administration of
the Government. He counselled them to
be calm and considerate, and to act delib
erately, like men.
Thomas E. Powell, of Delaware count,
said ho was dissatisfied with the nomina
tion, but would support the ticket.
J. Henton, of Columbiana, Ohio, said he
was dissatisfied, but urged moderation.
Judgo lirinkerhoff said bo would not be
mado a victim of a choice between two
evils. Men came to tho convention from
New York and Pennsylvania who were as
much intruders ns the devil was when ho
intruded himself among the sons of men.

further inquired if Greeley was not an lion- !

Colonel Parrot, of Montgomery county,
said there never was a more shameless 1
trade made by men than that made hy
Gratz Brown in the convention. t
Mr. Fry, of Clark county, said tho bar
gain and sale were evident.
Some member asked where was tho evi
dence V
Mr. Fry replied that the evideuce was in
Gratz Brown's speech.
Mr. Ayers, of the Fourteenth district,
urged them not to judge too harshly, anil
counselled moderation.
General Brinkcrhoff announced his resig
nation as a member of the State Central
Committee ; lie was not willing to abide the
determination of the con veution.
General S. I-arue also declined to sup
port tho ticket, and resigned his position as
a member ol the uontrai uomnutteo.
Judge Spaulding, of Cuyahoga, and Mr.
Smith, of Columbia, came to tho defence of
tho convention. Tho latter, in his re
marks, said Mr. Greeley was among tho
first to fight Tammany,whcrcunou two or
three persons arose saying that ho did not
ho rather defended thoni.
Judge Iloadley again got the floor,
charging that Tammany had triumphed,

after men to punish them before they got
their hands in the public Treasury. But
ho was not in favor of abandoning their or
ganization, lie said they should remain
together, maintaining their organization
until the time should arrive when their
principles could prevail.
Several other members Ppoko for and
against the nominntiou, and finally, after a
loug session, a motion to adjourn prevailed.
And uow comes the announcement that
Dr. Livingstone, the African explorer, is
safe, sound and hearty at Bombay. His
safety v.'ltl bo good news to .!l the world,
for his re-tippearance is like a dead man
coming again to life. He has been more
obiluarizcd by the whole press thau any
other living man. He will doubtless bring

ho has Icen long enough domiciled thore to

habits. Who knows but Sir John Franklin
may yet turn up In the land of the living,
since livingstouo has come to the surface?
Tiik readiness with which tho unrecon
structed rebels of the South havo endorsed
tho Greeloy and browu ticket is sufficient
to cause every loyal man to spurn it. The
Blair family have trust their cousin on the
ticketi and should it be successful in No
vember, tho rebles would soon flud some
way to retire its impracticable bend and,
then wo should have another instance of
Tylerism. The scheme is a deep one, aud
well worth watching.
The voters of the Urncd States cannot
complain of not having a variety of candi
dates for President from which to choose.
In the order of their political strength they
aro, so far as nominated, as follows : David

New York, May, 6. -At a few minutes
bofore eight o'clock this morning a fire
broke out between the roof nnd ceiliug of
the auditorium of Niblo's Theatre. The
flames spread rapidly, and before there pro-
rcss was checked tbo whelo theatre was
cstroyod. Helmbold's drug store is badly
damaged, the roof of tho rear part being
burnt, aud tho Interior flooded with water.
The Metropolitan Hotol escaped almost
without any injury. The loss is estimated
tit not less than half a million. The partic
ulars of the insurance aro not at present
known, but it is certain the insurance will
not nearly cover the loss. Tho building
was tho property of A. T. Stewart. The
origin of tho Are is not known. It Is said
that four firemen are missing, and it is fear
ed they perished in tho flames.
