TBRRE HAUTE, JUNE 12, 1880

THE CHIC A OO CON VENTJON. On Tuesday, the sixth day of the oon vent Ion, Gen. James A. Garfield, of Ohio, a delegate, and not named as a candidate until voted for, was nomi nated as the Republican candidate tor President of the United States. It was a striking instance of the office seeking the man, and the Republicans are to be congratulated on the result. Though the nomination was unexpected, it was sot untbougbt of. There were hints of it every time he appeared in the convention, or rose to speak. Even when be was so eloquently pleading for Sherman as be placed his friend in nomination, and remarked, "we are here to take calm counsel together, and inquire what we shall do," a voice cried: "Nominate Garfield and great applause followed.

The history of the convention, briefly summed up, is that Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week were occupied with the preliminary work of organization, questions of rules and deciding upon the admission of contesting delegations. Saturday evening the candidates wero placed in noml 'nation, and on Monday the balloting commenced. Ou the first ballot the vote was: Grant 304, Blaine 284, Sherman 93, Edmunds 34, Wlndom 10, Washburne 30, Garfield 1. Ballot after ballot followed with little change until the twenty-ninth ballot, when Sherman's vote swelled to 116. On the thirty-fifth ballot enough votes went from Blaine and Sherman to Garfield to give the latter fifty votes. The break was made, and the thirty-sixth ballot ended the contest—resulting: Garfield 399, Grant 306, Blaine 42, Sherman 3 and Washburne 5. Then followed a soone which beggars description. The Inter-Ocean says the delegates rushed from their seats with a yell of triumph, caught up *one hundred fold by the galleries. They surged around the banner of Ohio, and ohoered with an ardor that seemed to know no abatement. They lifted the Ohio banuer high into the air, and then brought the banner of every other State to the placo and swung it beneath the shield of Ohio. It wu Ohio over everything. Mr. Garfield, who had turned -deathly pale, leaned bis head upon his Shand, and sat in bis scat overcome with the emotion awakened by the stirring scene. The gallery occupants seemed wild. Reason was flung to the winds, and a carnival of mad capers was surrendered to. An aged man on the east side took off his coat, grasped it by the collar with botb hands, and laboriously .waved it up and down during the entire irelgn ef tumult. A delegate lifted the iieavy leather cushion from bis seat and "threw it with violence into the air so that it fell upon the heads of two men

Finally it struck up "Rally Round the Flag," which ©very one Joined in singing. When averse of this was sung and another resounding cheer given, the enthusiasts began to seek their seats, oxhausted with the effort at tempest-making through which they had struggled. Gradually the noise subsided, half revived once or twice by some insatiate occupant of the gallery, until at last quiet came because there was not left force enough to continue the demostratlon. Garfield seemed the only sober man in the whole convention.

He was pale as death, and seessed to be half uncotisciously to receive the eon gratulatlons of his friends. The telegrams then begau to pour in upon him. Turning to the Cleveland Postmaster, as If suddenly reminded of something, be said: "Sherwiu, won't you telegraph to my wife? sLe ought to know of this."

eighth, receiving a majority over his twocompetitorsof nearly 7,000 votes. He is one of the ablest and solidest men in public life. He is a great lorer of books, and a hard student, as well of general literature as of pontics. He is one of the moet powerful and skillful debaters in congress. He has long been the leader of his party tn the house. His political career has been a moat brilliant one.

In the evening of Tuesday, Chester A. Arthur was nominated fpr Vice President. He is a resident of New York, and was formerly collector of the port in that city. He is a warm friend of Conk ling, and his nomination is a concession to the Grant men.

THE RESULT AT CHICAGO. That the outcome of the long contest at Chicago was most fortunate for the Republican party cannot be disputed. Nor is it doing any injustice to the other eminent candidates before the convention to say that the nomination of Sen ator Garfield was the strongest that could have been made. If Gen. Grant had been the nominee, the fact cannot be disguised that he would have enter ed the campaign under serious disadvantages. Whether rational or not, there is much prejudice against the idea ot a third term, and many Republicans would have refused to vote for him on that ground. Then the contest between Blaine and Grant was so bitter that it would have been a source of considers ble dissension and weakness. The same would have been true if Blaine had been chosen. JL

The nomination of Garfield unites and harmonizes all faotions. He is a pure and able man against whom nothing can be said. He went to the convention as a delegate and in the interest, of Secretary Sherman, working for him to the last, but it was evident from the very first that be was the favorite of the eonvention. His modest yet earnest and sincere manner, coupled with the calm and philosophic spirit which be displayed, drew at once the attention and gained the confidence of the vast assemblage. When ho spoke it was never to exhibit himself or to air his opinions, but to say something which he believed ought to be said, and it is a high tribute to the clearness of his bead and the soundness of his judgment, that his suggestions were always adopted. The audience sought opportunities to manifest their feeling towards him, and the applause which he received was spontaneous and not of the machine order.

Garfield has all the elements of popular strength. A poor boy, he struggled for an education and-raised himself by the sheer force of his talents and energy, through successive promotions, to the high position of a senator of the United States. He was a brave soldier in tke war. During his long political career he was the acknowledged leader of his party in the lower bouse of Congress. His character Is stainless his integrity is without even suspicion. He Is a strong and eloquent speaker and surpassed Conkllng himself in the speech he made in the convention. He is a man who possesses "the genius of common sense," and supplements this with a wide knowledge of books and men. He has a broad mind and is a statesman in the higher sense of that word.

With all these elements of strength the Republican party has a leader in every way worthy to lead it co victory, and if viotory could be achieved by it in the coming contest under the leadership of any man, it oan be with Gen. James A. Garfield at the head of the ticket.

A PHILADELPHIA Grand Jury recommends the revival of the whipping post for criminals. "While," say the jurors, •'incarceration to a sensitive nature may be painful and humiliating enough to accomplish all the objects sought to be attained by punishment of any kind, yet in the case of a very large proportion of the dangerous classes of society —the professional thief, the well dressed pickpocket, the adroit swindler and confidence man, together with those of a more brutal nature— short term of imprisonment in comfortable quarters with wholesome food is not adequate to obtain the end required. Criminal punishments should be severe, short and decisive. Then the prison would be sufficient to meet the requirements." Judge Bkidle, who was presiding when the communication was read, said that it would not be for the welfare of the community to revive brutal modes of punishment. He had great faith in the efficacy of hard labor and solitary confinement.

THE Democratic State Convention at Indianapolis on Wednesday nominated for Governor, Franklin Landers, of Marion couuty for Lieutenant Governor, Isaac P. Gray, of Randolph. John T. Scott, of Vlg and A. S. Mitchell of Elkhart were nominated for Judges of the Supreme Court, and A C. Goodwin, of Clark, for Superintendent of Public Instruction. For the other offices the present incumbents were renominated.

Hon. D. W. Voorbees was elected one of the Delegates at large to the National Convention, and George A. Knight, of Clay and Wm. Mack of this city, delegates from this city. John E. Lamb was selected as presidential elector for this district.

The two-thirds rule was favored, and the delegates were instructed to vote as a unit and to support Thomas A. Hendricks for fbe Presidency.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

THJS Greenback-Labor party met in National convention at Chicago on Wednesday and completed its work at fifteen minutes before seven yesterday morning—the nurses being up all night with the rag baby, and they had a bad night of it. Gen. James B. Weaver, of Iowa, was nominated for President, and B. J. Chambers, of Texas, for Vice President. We haven't space for a synopsis of the proceedings, but cannot resist giving a portion of the opening prayer by Rev. Mr. Ingalls, of Dee Moines, in which be tells the Lord that he is there "on his own hook." In the oourse of his unique address to the Almighty he said:

Thou knoweet that the exalted aristocratic preachers of this country declined to pray for us Thou knowest that they agreed that on the last Sabbath of Hay they would pray for the two great conventions at Chicago and at Cincinnati, leaving out the Greenbackers. We come to Thee, O Lord, on our own hook, rejoicing in the love of the Lord Jesus Christ above all the priests and the Levltes and the Pharisees of the world. [A voice: "Amen." Loud applause.] We rejoice that we may come to Thee under the glorious truth that the rich and the poor meet together before the Lord as the Maker of them all. Oh, do Thou bless thLt Greenback convention. Do Thou give to us to see that God and humanity are joined in a glorious partnership to break the shackles of oppression and rescue American liberty |aAmen," and general shouting.] from the bonds of the ungodly. [Loud smiles.] Oh, do Thou bless this people, for which Thou didst raise up Washington and Lincoln. [Applause/) Bless us. North and Sooth ["Amens'l, East and West. Make us to be of one mind, and prosper Tbon our hnlr nrnrb* AniMi." [ApplaUSS, COOtlnholy work* Amen.

ulna for some time.]

NEVER was there a wider contrast between two speeches than between those which plaoed Mr. Blaine in nomination before the Cincinnati and the Chicago conventions. The former, delivered by that prinoe of orators, Col. Ingersoll, was a masterpiece of brilliant eloquence and furnished a precedent which bids fair to be followed by all subsequent national conventions, of elaborate oratorical efforts on these oooasiors. The speech of Mr. Joy, on the other hand, in placing Mr. Blaine's name before the Chicago convention, was probably the worst specimen of the kind that has ever been furnished on such an occasion. It was open to almost every criticism tbat can be made against a speech, and fell so flat upon the convention that the friends of poor Blaine were horrified and dismayed. The circumstance affords a forcible illustration of the foolishness of a man who possesses no oratorical ability in attempting to make a speech before such an assemblage. It probably be many a day before Mr. Joy oan be again seduced into attempting to play the role of orator. V'

THE flour production of the Minneapolis mills is amazing. In i860 the annual production of flour was only 80,000 barrels. Now it is nearly half that much every day. The increase goes on rapidly. In 1873 there were but twelve mills valued at $50,000 each there are twenty five valued One now in course of constr have a capacity of 3,000 barrels a There are several others which produce from 1800 to 2400 barrels per day. In 1879 the Minneapolis mills grtfand, upwards of 1,800,000 barrels and this production will no doubt be materially augmented the present year.

FOUR years sgo the Republicans required the votes of three southern States—nineteen electoral votes—to elect Hayes. This year it is not probable that the party will carry a single southern State. Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Indiana went Demo cratic in 1876. For Republican success in the coming campaign it will be necessary for the party to add New York to the list or New Jersey and Indiana or Connecticut and Indiana. The votes of Connecticut and New Jersey alone could not supply the number.

ONE of tbe proudest men tn the

United

States is probably Mr. Grier, of the Chester distriot, Pennsylvania, who voted for Garfield first, last and all the time. His was the solitary vote cast on the first ballot. After the nomination, when asked what office he expected to have under the next administration, he said: "I want no office, but I do want General Garfield to write me a letter that I oan hand down to my children's children, to show them what I did at the Chicago convention."

THE Democrats in their State convertHon followed the example of the Republicans at Chicago, in compromising the dissensions which existed among some of the candidates and their friends.

JUNE maintains its reputation as the month of conventions. Not speaking of those of a religious, educational or scientific character, the present month has already given us the Republican National convention, the State Democratic convention, to be followed next week by the State convention of the Republicans and the week following by the Damo cratic National convention at Cincinnati. Politically speaking, we have been busy.

WITH expensive railroad fares and hotel bills of from four to five dollars a day, continuing a week or more, the honor of berng a delegate to a national conventions 'rather an expensive luxury, partlvmrly to a poor man. The precedent of long conventions ought not to be encouraged.

IT cost |28,000 to contest the seat in Congress from the Twentieth Pennsylvania district. Mr. Curtin spent $15,000 in trying to get the seat and Mr. Yooum, |13f000 in retaining it. It was about as profitable to both parties as some lawsuits are. _________

THE opinion of Grant's ex-Secretary of War, Belknap, as given last Tuesday: "Garfield Is the most corrupt man in America, and would steal Heaven's livery to serve the deviL in," is interesting at this moment. -i

THE zeal with which the enthusiastic Grant men turn to Garfield, calls to mind the couplet:

The man who plays the bugle May think that ae is 'some,' But, Lord! he ain't a patohin'

To the man who beats the drum."

NAKKDNB88 18 ABT. Philadelphia Sunday Mirror. It is common in the homes ofwbat are considered our best people, to sse ornanaments, statuettes and pictures, repre senting naked, women. Often, we also notice the counterfeit presentiment of men under the same circumstances, but for some cause, presumably .r*rtistic, those are much fewer and less conspicuous than the other. It might prove interesting to ascertain the reason of the Caste for this nakedness generally, and scarcely less so, for the distinction in favor of females in psrtioular. It migbt be likewise profitable to learn whether the art sense which must feed on su--commons, is not open to question.

The usefulness of art as an instrument of refinement and civilization, is beyon doubt. But what good purpose is accomplished in any sense, by a painthg or statue which presents to the eye and mind of men and women, old and young, married and unmarried, boys and girls, youths and maids, together and alone, a naked picture The law makes personal exposure a penal offense, but why does It permit the artist to expose himself, or others, bv proxy?

From the earliest dawn of art, nothing beneficial has ever occurred through this vicarious exhibition of nature. Rsphsel is no greater because many of his infsnts are painted with strange fidelity, nor ia Praxitiles more entitled to our plaudits tbat he has observed strikingly anatomical minuteness in his Apollo or Venus. Art would be no less msjestlc or divine if it gave us Jove without the usual carefulness of detail.

If any necessity existed or could be shown why objects representing nsked men, women or children, should be permitted in parlors, or exposed for sale In our stores, that, of course, is sufficent excuse for their being. But this Is Impossible. A woman cannot look upon such a thing with art feelings alone, no matter how refined, well bred, cultivated, or sesthetlo she may be while the case is even worse with man, and worst of all with a child. Even taking them as ideals anyone able to think knows tbat tho ideals must always be Interpreted by the real.

A modest man or woman cannot well stand beside each other—be their relations what they may—and examine or comment upon a nude picture or statue with unruffled minds. Possibly there will be no outward indications of any peculiar thought, but it is there nevertheless, and it influences her and him. And tbia lnfluenee is certainly not a good one. "Venus Rising from the Sea," "Lady Godiva," "Susanna at the Bath," "Fatima," etc., whioh may be taken as aversge specimens of this class, appeal to nothing in the observer either artistic or moral. They are Intended to satisfy some sense, and what sense do they satisfy or even please? The Intention of the artist is foul, snd the eyes that admire his wofrk bardlv less so.

There are some pictures of Hogarth's condemned for coarseness. Nobody denies tbey are so, but many hanging in our parlors are little better. The English painter only erred in filling out, sotbattbe spectator's fancy need supply no omissions. The present school of artlstio coarseness does not do this, but cunningly omits such features as the observer, by bringing his imagination en rapport with the artist's, may supply. The modest suggestlveness of the ng leaf shows the dirt of the idea, and the

When a woman is about to be strangle!, she Is made to kneel down, and the cord (a strip of nstive cloth) is put around her neck, She is then tola to expel her breath as long possible, and when she can endure no longer to stretch out hands as a signal, whereupon the cord is tightened, ana soon all is over.

The death of a young wife has brought the foundation of a Hudson river palace to the ground. The bereaved husband on his return to Cornwall gave orders for the immediate cessation of operations on the new residence In process of construction, the discharge of all employed on the work, the destruction of the walls already up, and the filling up of the extensive oellar which had been walled out for the front and back building. The walls of the rear part of the structure had reached the second story, but no bricks had been laid on tbo front walls. It is estimated that the mason work of the building, ss it stood, bad already eost 910.000. As soon as the wails are razed the oellar will be filled up, and the site turned over and ploughed into a field. The probable cost of the mansion would have been folly 9100,000.

Now, girls, that yoa are going to the seaside for the summer, see tbat you return in the fiall without your bousebleached complexions. Never mind a little tan if you can get a permanent blush of pure healthy blood red on your .cheeks with. it. You are too much a house plant, and a hot house plant at that, in the city, and that white face, if not a sallow one, proves it. Your limbs, young ladles—your, In faot, legs—are in far too many cases good for nothing sa\e'-' to help you get in and out of oarriaaes. You can't walk any respeotable dls-,» tance. You laugh at the little, crippled 5' feet of the Chinese women, yet, lnjolnt» of fact, you are not muoh better oft than they, YOU are too often crippled la the 4lungs with tight oorsets, In the feet with tight shoes, and all about the waist and shoulders with those beautifully fitting,* tight dresses, made to wear but not to§|^work In. Some of you are obliged to* carry yonr arms in a position to suit the dress, forthe arms must give way to the requirements of the dress and not the dress to the arms. You look well outside, but If a capable, honest doctor should make a truthful report of tho condition of your motive, vital and other s* f#.: powers within you, it would be an awful story. Too many of you are really cripples, for a girl may be a oripple^« without being lame, halt or blind, al«L though to an anatomical eye your gait now, fettered as you are from foot to neck, is very much that of a cripple.

And if you go to the seaside, only to dress for breakfast, lunch and dinner, only to walk from the hotel door to the beach, and always to be hauled about in a carriage when a mile or two ofc ground is to be traveled over, you will f_ return cripples. Selah! and to Jt. and don't you forget it f|?

SHOPPING. Chicago Alliance. u*

Shopping Is the art of wearying one's self In the attest to find out what one does not ws^t, pleasant fiction obtains in centals fashionable circles that whopping 1* the labor attendant upon providing tbe children and madam with clothing and tbe houie with furnishings. Bdt no gentleman who has escorted a lady or two through a four hour shopping tour and st the end carried as the net result six towels, a few, handkerchiefs, a ribbon or two and forty three dress patterns, will dare to maintain tlast shopping is business. It is woman's pastime. It is to her what a shooting match or a fishing excursion is to the sverage msn. He does not hit the bull's eye, or cstch the big .fish, to any great extent, but be has tbe tramp, be gets tired and secures a good appetite for bis dinner. In botb cases, it is not ,||| tbe result, but the pursuit tbat pleases. How much fun there Is in ranging through a score of shops, snd pricing things that she has no intention of buying, in hunting for bargains tbat are never accepted when found, and in allowleg the imagination to clothe ber in "purple and fine linen," at tbe cost of gingham and calico, no man ever has or will comprehend. A man is a nulsancetos shopping lady, and shopping is a nuisance to a man. Where tbe fun comes in be fails to understand. When be has occasion to buv anything, be rushes into store, asks for what he wants, inquires tbe price—to show tbat he is wide awake-"Dolt up," pays the money, and is gone. She asks for tbe goods, feels of them in a knowing way, asks the price twice, tba second time as ft, though she felt sure she had misunderstood the first time, and immediately becomes convinced she can do better elsewhere, or begins to doubt whether it is what abe wants She rushes wildly into the next store, prices tbe same goods and ficda them higher, goes t' store after star?, Jwfeicg at other tbing-e thst she tblci' tia rsay sometim» want, gets let c,r fsJte scents, and cornea back t*ff #»i»t3ie, to find tbat all tbe goods at in tbe morning are sold, and finally goes home with a few patterns and a paper of pins, without tbe goods she came out in tbe mornfng fully Intending to buy.
