ATTOUNKV-GKNKUAL NASH, the official who delivered a binding opinion that women are Ineligible to the offlco of Notary Public, Is a bachelor, and, after thin decision, is likely to remain so. He may as well make up his mind to fasten his garments with patent clothes pins during the remainder of his natural life, and if he values his health, he will keep clear of hot water tanks which may be commanded by women.—Cincinnati finrt'r.

IN view of the many reports a* to what the New York delegation will do at Chicago the New York Time* has addressed a note to each delegate asking information as to his course. Answers arc published from thirty-two, twenty-eight of whom they say will vote for Grant, three declare that they do not consider the in structlon* binding, and two say they do not know what they shall do until they get to Chicago. Taking these replies as a fair

test

of the views of the enlite dele-

cation. it appear* that the Blaine managers hive largely overestimated the probable

defection

from Grant. The vote

of the delegation seem* to be practically solid.

G£X. 7. B. ORAHT.

cut at this period the name of General Grant Is In the mind of every Republican, as well as the population of the whole country. In the mind of the Democratic party, no because be Is the apparent candidate of the Republican party for President of the United States, bat formerly in the mind of the Democratic party by reason of his being the man, and the only man, on whose shoulder at one time rested the maintenance and preservation of this Union. This party is really now to heap upon him every charge of rascality that could be made against any mortal man charges that are not new. They have been made over and over again. The Democratic party made these charges when Grant captured Fort Donaldson. when he captured Vicksburg, when he planned and fought the battle of Mission Ridge, when he was transferred to the Army of the Potomac, wtien he fought the bloody battle of the Wilder nc-ss, when he was on the road to Richmond to conquer, when he was "pecking" away at Richmond, when he took Richmond, and who that was living then, can forget how the Democratic party abused and denounced Grant when he was in pursuit of Lee's Army, and at last captured St "horse, foot and dragoon." Then the)' availed themselves of every epithet and abuse, and heaped it on -liim with dirty and unstinted hands. That belittlelesss, abuse and slander they heap on him now is old, very old and have been spread on with as foul a mouth as ever characterized a John Morgan, a Wade Hampton, or any other Southern disunionist or guerilla. At that time the Republican party never changed their faith in the generalship or patriotism of General Grant, lie was the pole star of every decent lover of his country, in the broad land and every soldier looked upon him as the common savior of the country. And when the last enemy was conquered, the last rebel flag was captured, the patriotic people of the North stood in unison for the great hero of the age, as the leaves of the forrest when swayed by the breeze.

The Democratic party, in this thing, as in every other, barks at the old hole, although the game has long since escaped keeps in the old rut, though the paved road is near by, and keep the sign up: "wheat for sale," although the mill has long since rotted and decayed.

But wherefore has the patriotic people, the soldier, tho great Republican party, tho party for the union, lost that living, strong faith they once held in Gen. Grant? Who doubts his patriotism or love of country to-day? Not one who is honest. Gen. Grant has tilled position after position, civil and military, and of course has enemies, has made enemies and who has not? There Is one here and there who fights for this cause, against him,«on this ground, but we predict that when the hour comes for the Republican party to fall in line under the old Commander, it will stand shoulder to shoulder, and its face toward the enemy.

WORK FOR tHK NOMINEE.

The big day for presidential candidates is now over. Illinois delegates will go to Chicago for Grant and the Blaine bureau in that State is now for sale. The Republican# of Illinois will now settle themselves down and quietly wait for the Chicago Convention, after which they will work harmoniously for the support of the nominee. The Republican party cannot afford to go into this fight divided. Tho interests of the people demand unity. And the magnitude to which a faction can extend itself is illustrated by the Farwell Hall delegation to the Springfield Convention.

There is a spirit prevading all minority gatherings which must rule or ruin, an«l our Republican friends should carefully guard against such feeling growing up in our ranks. The presidential election of 1880 is no less Important than that of 1801. To be sure the cry of war is not ringing in our ears, but there is a silent, under current working in the rebel element of our National affairs that must be stopped, else the whole country will be cncaicd into the vortex of political rutn. This cannot be evaded by party dissentions. It cannot be evaded by individual bureaus scattering and disseminating seeds of political discord among the people.

There Is but one way, and that is to await the Ch cago Convention and then bind up the wounds of individual preferences. and go to work earnestly for the nominee.

THE L08DTO DELEGATUS.

The following editorial from the InterOcean, 1s so very applicable to the situation of affairs to-day that we reproduce it in full, and recommend every one to read it carefully:

We have no disposition to add to the chagrin of the Farweli Hall delegates. They have made a bold fight, bu a witless one they have been outgeneraled from the start, and the result is their discomfiture at Springfield.

In the first place, the Blaine-Washbume delegation made a blunder when they undertook to disfranchise the Grant voters of Chicago. It was not only illegal and unjust, but unwise and foolish. The at tempt at once transferred the sympathy of Uie people to the Grant side, and to be on the side of equity in such a contest is generally to be on the side th^t wins.

The Farweli Hall managers had it in their power to place the supporters of Grant in a dilemma without any seeming attempt to violate the terms of the call for the convention, or to rule out the friends of Grant from their pro rata represents tion. This would have been gained by giving Grant delegates to the Senatorial districts which he carried, and then sending all delegates tinder instructions to vote at Springfield for Washburne or Blaine, or both together. The Grant men, while fighting for the binding force of instructions, could not have easily escaped from obedience to them, and if they had declined to recognize such instructions they would have set a most unfortunate precedent for themselves and their friends in the national convention. The Farweli Hall managers, however, failed to perceive this.

But the management "since has been still more impolitic. In the first place it is not wise for men to go ardund threatening to bolt in case a certain course is pursued by- a body to which their own claims must be submitted for consideration. A convention sits as a judge, and does not feel disposed to be told that if its verdict is not agreeable to one of the parties that party will proceed to disregard it.

It is not surprising, therefore, that the convention to)d the Farweli Hall delegation that they must agree to submit* their case, and abide by the decision, before they could come into court.

The balance of the performance of the beaten delegates, as reported up to the hour in which we are writing, was more ridiculous than anything else. The State Committee had agreed that neither of the contesting delegations should take seats in the Convention until their claims had been considered and adjudicated. This course was adopted without opposition, but after its adoption, and when too late to present their case, even if they had one, they met and resolved that they were entitled to seats,' and must have them. The report says:

Mr. Schaffner moved that this delegation proceed in a body tothedooror the convention and dumand admlwion to their seats that, if admission bo refused, they return to the Senate Chamber in a body and await the action of tho State Convention.

Mr. Dbcon thought Judge Couch »houl{l notify the temporary Chairman of the convention of their presence, and await an answer.

Mr. Schaffner—The gentleman misunderstands me. 1 want the delegates to demand admlunion at once, and take part In the election of the temporary Chairman, and participate ina'.l of the temjjorary organisation, and if we are refused admission I want to know why, and who is responsible for that rcfnsal.

Mr. SeliafTner'g motion was adopted.

Thereupon the bold ninety walked to the door of the hall of the convention, and demanded admittance. course thev were refused, and they then walked back again. It was a very ludicrous sight, and reminded one of ihe 20,000 men who "walked up the hill and then walked down again." Mr. Schaffner, who seemed to have been able to make a bigger ninny of himself in this whole bustuess than any other one man, wanted to "go in anyhow," bnt his fiery and untamed spirit* was checked, and, on motion, a committee was anpionted to confer with the Chairman. The committee "conferred," and the ninety waited. Of course, General Ilaum had no power to override the action of the committee, or admit one delegation without admitting the other, and so the committee broke up. By that time the galleries were full, and the foolish virgins of Farweli Hall were compelled to sweat and fume on the outer wall of the temple. The whole performance was stupendously absurd, and whoever was directing the movement deserved hissing for his stupidity.

To conclude, the gentlemen who xindcrtook the business of beating Grant by disfranchising the 5,000 men who voted for him in Cook County, lacked the ability to compass so large an undertaking. They talked too loud and too much. They were badly handled from the outset, and, with alamc cause and bad counsel. could not have~reasonably hoped to win. Now, if they will come home and be good boys, accept the inevitable, and go to work for the winning man. they will show that however much they have lost, they have learned more than they ever knew before.

That General Streigbt, of Indiana, has ample provocation for shooting somebody connected with the Inter Off an we freely confess. A few weeks ago the CuriotUy Shop announced that the General was killed during the war. That was the fault of a reference book. Yesterdav It Vas stated in these columns that he had engaged quarters at the Palmer House for convention week, and that he was the "Independent candidate for Governor of Indiana." This absurd mistake was not noticed until the paper had gone to press Now, the fact is that Gen. Streight is a great big stalwart Republican, who is prominently named id connection with the Republican nomination for Governor of inaiana, but "Independent/ never. He would make a tremendous race, and the InUr- Otmn would be glad to see him nominated, and it take* the first opportunity to set ibe General right, before the putiltc.—Inter Otmn.

The Inter Qem* Is quite right when it says that General Streight I* not an "Independent," for It is well known thai General Streight nn "Squealer and should he be defeated for the nomination for Governor he will support the nominee with as much grace and teal as If he himself had received it. We don't like "Squealer*.'"
