Marion township Democratic convention to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon, at 2 o’clock. The Indianapolfs News (republican) says of Ingalls, in his tirade against McClellan and Hancock: “He is now very much like a volcano that has blown itself out, and is noted chiefly for a bad smell.” The bad smell was occasioned by the bad whisky imbibed. Wool is protected. Hides and leather are on the free list. The woolen industry in the Uiited Spates was never in a worse condition than at the present time, having no export trade and not now controlling the home market. — The boot and shoe and leather industries, on the other hand are in the most flourishing ’condition, monopolizing the home market and exporting to an enormous extent-

The rlatest answer tc the cha ge that Democratic revenue reform means reduced wages for the American laborer, is reported by the Providence (Rhode Island) Journal as having actually been made by an Irish-American citizen of that town to whom a Republican mill owner said: “Pat, don’t vote the Democratic ticket. It is a Cobden free trade ticket. If the Democratic party wins, your wages will be cut down.” “Devil trust ye now,” exclaimed Pat. “If that’s so ye’d vote the Democratic ticket yourself!”

In the “Personal Memoirs of US. Grant” on page 539 of Vol. 11, Gen. Grant writes thus: “Hancock s ,ands the most conspicuous figure of all the general officers who did H>t exen ise a s parate command. He commanded a corps longer than any other one, snd his name was never mentioned as having committed in battle a blunder for which he was responsible.” It seems Grant entertained dis—- • ent sentiments from those expressed by Jackall Jackass Ingalls and silently acquiesced in by republ’can organs generally, with reference to the patriotism and 1 jyalty of Democratic soldiers. The Kingman (Kansas) Courier, republican, cauterizes Ingalls, of that State, in the following mann *r:

‘When Senator Ingalls denounced Generals McClellan and Hau-’ cock he hid the knife to his throat. The Courier is everything orthodox in Republicanism, but we wo’d be false to th® n emory of our heroic dead who died for the cause of nationality were this malignant slanler to pass unrebuked.— Whatever may be said of McClellan’s military career, history has inscribed about his name on her storied pa »e the word patriot.— And for the memory of the chivalrous Hancock no word need be written. The world knows his brilliant career by heart. His name will be remembered along with the Grants and Meades, with the Sheridans and Shermans, when John J. Ingalls lives only in the memory of politicians.” And the lowest strata at that.

Republican newspapers generally denounce Mr. Bayard’s fisheries trea y. They declare he has sunendered America’s rights, curt died the privileges of Amencad fishermen and backed down generally. The English press is of g tite a differont opinion, the Pall Jail Gazette stating the “surrenler” was by the British representative, Mr. Chamberlam, substantial ng the statement by the following arguments: First —The right of American fisheries to touch and trade in Canadian ports is denied by Canada. Mr. Chamberlain concedes it Second — Canada refuses to allow American fishers to ply their calling in bays more than six miles wide at their mouth. Mr. Chambe/lain grants this right in bdys more than eight miles wide. Third —Canada claims the rignt to import fish free into the United States. This Mr. chamberlain has refused. And Canada is compelled to drink agnm “the bitter cup” to satisfy imperial interests.
