Onfe week from to-day, the Republican County Convention meets in this city, 5to nominate county officers. Some of the most important county officers are to be selected: Auditor, Treasurer and

Sheriff. These are three of the most lucrative and responsible of the county offices. To select any but the most CGSnpetent men for such positions, would be wrong. Economy in the aflairs of the ,county,

State

and Nation, must be the

watchword of the Republican party, during the coming campaign. This economy can only be effected by putting into office, good and honest men. If the Republican party does otherwise in this county, it will be beaten. The contest, at best, will be a close one, and the fight will necessarily have to be sharp. There is not now, as in years gone by, in the Republican party in this county, an organization so perfect and complete, that the vote of the party can be polled, to a man. We must speak plain, and look Hhe facts full in the face. We will have all we can do to succeed. There is no propriety in disguising this fact. The policy of crying peace, peace, when there is no peace, is a great political mistake. To have our friends to work, and to work well, they must know the truth and the truth is, if Ave do not work, and work well, we will be beaten.

This being the fact, it is necessary that the Convention should not do anything hastily, but only after careful consideration. Give the people good men men in whom they have confidence, and then, if the managers will properly go to work, and work persistently, the ticket will triumph. There is a handsome Republican majority in this county. This majoirty under the management of the last few years, has been flitted ajvay. We lost two of the most important county offices, at the last election. We must «get back the Sheriffalty this time, and the Clerk's office in two years from this fall. But we can not do this, without a complete and harmonious organization.

Organization is everything in politics. Harmony of action and thorough organization insures success.

As parties are at this time, considerably mixed, the Republican party should be frank and candid in the avowal of what it believes to be right. Let us have a perfect and honest understanding among ourselves, eschewing all desire to deceive any one, or carry the election by any otlierthan fair and justifiable means.

The office of County Commissioner is an important one, and an experienced citizen should be put on the ticket for that place. But certainly the most important officer to be selected by the Convention, is the Judge of the Vigo Crimi nal Court. In this court men are arraigned and tried for their lives. It has a jurisdiction in crimes as high as any court in the world. There is no court of higher importance than the one in which the right to life and liberty is determined. No citizen should be deprived of his life, or of his liberty, except in strict accordance with the laws of his country. A full and perfect knowledge of the law bearing upon those particular cases should be possessed by the Judge sitting on the bench of this court. For a man to aspire to this important position without possessing this knowledge, shows an individual unfitness that is unprofessional and disgraceful. How can a Judge, in a capital case, instruct the jury what the law is, unless he understands it himself? There should be no guessing at the law, when a citizen's life is at stake. When a Roman citizen was being tried for a capital offence, he exclaimed before the Judge, "I am a Ro man citizen. I appeal to the laws of my country. I ask to be tried by the law.1 This poor barbarian would have been in a d—1 of a fix, had he expected to have been tried by the law, with some of our Judges* on the bench. It would have been as consistent for him to have asked to be tried by "McGuffey's First Reader."

The Convention will certainly see, with us, the importance of selecting a compe tent man to preside over this court. If men aspire to be its Judge, without being deeply read in the law, it is very evi dent they are after the $2,000 per annum, and care but little whether the law is properly administered in that court or not. We have able lawyers at this bar, and the Convention should select one of the ablest to fill this most important judicial position. Any other course by the Convention, is defeat.

We hope the Convention will be composed of the best Republicans in the county. That it will assemble for the purpose of selecting a good, strong, and deservedly popular ticket, upon which the' Republicans of the county can and will unite. That it will not suffer a few political tricksters to have everything cut and dried, and then put it through at railroad speed. If this course is continued to be practiced, our majorities will continue to be whittled down, until Ave will lose every office in the county.

THE GAZETTE says the greenback issue is lessening in importance as apolitical issue. Can it be possible that the GAZETTE editor is the same man who less than four Aveeks ago was hooted out of a radical county convention because he insisted on a greenback platform? The importance of the greenback political issue has not lessened—it

only

cen

that the backbone of

the GAZETTE editorlias weakened.—Journal'. If a man canH understand anything, or won't understand anything, it is very difficult to ma&e him understand anything.

When gold was selling at a premium of from 35 to 40 per cent., and the Secretary .of the Treasury was redeeming some of th^ y»-20 bonds, dollar for dollar, in gold, then it became a very important question whether he should do this or redeem them in greenbacks. When the prejnium on gold fell down to 10 and 15 per «r:

t.f then it was not so important, and the interest in that issue was "lessened." the Supremfc Court of the United *had decided that all contracts i'^made prior to the law creating the legal tendernotes had to be paid in coin, anda iS^laige portion of our bonds were issued prior tq that law, then again the green'^back question became less in importance. ."\Doeai the astute and profound editor of •the Journal get these ideas through that -part of his physique where the "wool ouglit to grow"

The County Convention.

new

Constitution of Illinois

an election for Judges is to take place simultaneously with the voteon the Constitution itself. A convention of the attorneys of Chicago was held on Thursday last, and three gentlemen selected for recommendation to the voters of Cook county for the judgeships in that county, the first of whom is Judge Gook ins, so long one of the most prominent of our citizens, and one of the most able and distinguished members of this bar. Illi nois can get no better lawyer and more incorruptible man, as one of her Judges, than Samuel B. Gookins.

The Chicago Tribune of yesterday very justly says: ..., ,•

Judge Gookins is well and favorably known. For many -years he was one ol the Judges of the* Supreme Court of the State of Indiana. As a jurist he has already achieved a high distinction. For many years a resident of Chicago, actively engaged in the practice of the law, he has won the esteem and the sincere regard ©f his professional brethren. Of his ability as a lawyer, it is not necessary for us to speak. His published opinions while upon the Supreme Bench of- Indiana, and his practice at this bar, have settled that question beyond cavil. As a man and a citizen, he is beyond reproach. Prominently identified with benevolent and religious enterprises, the public knew him to be an upright man and a Christian gentleman.

THE Detroit Post has this paragraph in a notice of the speeches of Degener and Finkelnburg in reply to the contemptible insult to the Germans and Irish, offered by Mr. Voorhees in the House of Represent a tives: "We do not suppose that Voorhees is susceptible .of understanding how severely he was rebuked for his boorishness nor how he overreached himself in his attempts to excite the prejudices of the Germans, by not concealing his partisan contempt for them by calling them opprobrious names and by insinuating that they are at the beck and call of any party that wishes to use them, and are so serville and ignorant that the Republicans can trade them off' for ''Niggers." Mr. Voorhees and his tribe evidently thinks they are "voting cattlefor he would not dare to say let the "American, Irish and Dutch voters go," because that would have extinguished his sneer by making it ridiculous. The person who supposes it a good joke ana a piece of excellent poilitical strategy to treat welleducated, cultivated, intelligent men as if they were boobies and stupids, has much to learn of statesmanship as well as of politeness.

THE Journal announces that Mr. Voorhees will speak in this city to-night. Is there nothing for that gentleman to attend to at Washington As the representative of this people, does he think it consistent with his duty to leave his post, and come here to press his individual interests, and ask that his constituents continue their confidence in him?

THE Indianapolis Sentinel says only eleven Democrats voted for the North Pacific Railroad bill, and these could not have defeated it if they had voted against it. The Cincinnati Gazette ciphers as follows: The vote was 85 nays to 107 yeas. Take 11 from 107 and 97 remains add 11 to 85 and it gives 96. The 11 Democrats, therefore, had it in their power to tie the vote, and if Straderand other Democrats, who were absent, had been in their seats, the iniquitous measure might have been defeated. This does not help the Republicans Avho voted for the bill, but Democrats had better not talk too loud on the subject. The Republicans should hear from their constituents in terms they cannot misinterpret.

THE Fenians having now failed for the second time, it is'to be hoped their leadwill not continue by Hi-advised and illegal efforts to bring contempt Upon the race which they claim to represent. The absurd failures and repeated quarrels of this organization ha\re done incalculable injury to the Irish race by creating and in part justifying the opinion that Irishmen cannot govern themselves, and are therefore unfit to have an independent Government of their own. It is not a general idea in the American mind, but do not the Fenians suspect that it is likely to be made contagious by their conduct Americans extend little sympathy and still less practical assistance to people who betray the unfortunate temperament which the Fenian leaders illustrate in their disagreements, and hasten, unjustly perhaps, to conclude that those who do not know how to strike the blow do not deserve to be free.—New York Tribune. rr-«.v

CUBAN AFFAIRS. s.f .5 House Foreign Affairs Committee R«port.

NEW YORK, June 3.—The Herald publishes the forthcoming report of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Cuba, of which the following is a synopsis:

The report opens by referring to all the numerous petitions in behalf of Cuba, signed by nearly 15,000 people of the United States, and then, after the recapitulation of the early stages of the struggle, the delusive promises of Spain to speedily crush the rebellion, and the immense effort made by the Spaniards and volunteers, continues as folioAVS:

The Cubans had at Yara, October 11, 1868,149 men 4,000 on the 12th of October 9,7000 in November, and 12,000 in December. They have now 20,000 well armed men. There are 60,000 enrolled and drilled, but without arms. They claim that, with a supply of arms, they can put into the field 200,000 fighting men. The citizens former and the emancipated black men of the country are fighting for its liberty. These hostile forces have not forgotten the objects for Avhich they were organized.

From the declaration of Cuban indepennence at Yara to this hour, there has not been a week, scarcely a day, which has not been marked in the calendar of war by fierce and bloody contests. No revolution presents a more constant and determined struggle. Although the Cubans were, undisoipliued, and unaccustomed to the use of arms, of which in the beginning they had feAV or none, and their enemy was composed of the best troops of the army and navy of Spain, whose places in the military posts of the island had been supplied by Spaniards, organized as volunteers.

The Cubans, nevertheless, have been ready to meet their foes in skirmish, combat or battle, and have shown themselves as brave in attack as defense. A record of nearly all the raids, skirmishes, combats and battles occurring from the 11th of October, 1868, to the defeat of Puello and Goyensche, which terminated the campaign of December, 1869. and January, 1870, give an honorable distinction to the struggle of the Cubans for independence that would in no wise discredit a people long accustomed to self government and trained to the use of arms.

It is unnecessary for the purposes we have in view to speculate upon the a'dvangained by the Spaniards or .Cubans, in these constantly repeated hostile encounters. The record is presented as an indisputable proof of the long continued existence of civil war in Cuba. But we recall incidents of the campaign of last winter, in which, after exhaustive, preparations by the Spanish Government, and most confident assurances of ihe speedy termination of the war, her best Generals, Puello and Ooyahafihe, in a concentrated campaign under Valmazeda, were both defeated, the former with a loss of 1,300 out of 2,700 men, as" evidence of the spirit and capacity of the Cubans for a successful war.

The report details at lengthfficial in

formation as to events in Cuba, received by our own Government as well as Spain, and condtinues that the immediate proximity of Cuba to the United States gives to these grave events an importance which cannot be fully appreciated by another State, European or American. The Cubans appeal to our people for sympathy and support in their unequal struggles for liberty. The Cuban question becomes, therefore, an American question, and the Government of the United States is constantly compelled to interfere in behalf of its citizens against the decrees of the authorities and people of Spain for the protection of the lives of the innocent and unoffending Americans, as well as to justify, by agreement, a universal sympathy which is felt ana in part expressed byj^e American people.

In the cause of liberty in Cuba various acts of aggression upon our commerce are narrowed down to the case of Lloyd's at Aspinwall, for which no refraction bad been made in answer to. the .demands of our government. Harsh and cruel decrees have been issued by the Government of Spain during the progress of the war, which are sufficient to stain the character of the struggle and mar the direct interest which the people of the United States, at home ana abroad, have in the grave issues to be decided, in Cuba, notwithstanding the constant protests of the United States Government, these decrees stand substantially, as they were issued and are executed, not according to the instructions of the government of Spain, but in the ferocious spirit of the Catalonian volnnteers, without regard to the conclusions to which the Spanish or American Governments may arrive. The American Consul-General at*Havana recently received from British naval officers assurances of their protection, and the offer of a file of marines to protect him, and an invitation, whenever it becomes necessary to seek his safety on board a British man-of-war. And still later, the American Vice Consul at Santiago, Cuba, Avas called to account for dispatches sent to this Government, which Avere published by order of Congress, by the unauthorized and irresponsible volunteers who govern Cuba, and under the advice of the Spanish Governor, who was unable to protect him, he sought his safety from personal violence by taking refuge on board a French frigate, under the protection of French naval officers, •. ••., •.

The Spanish volunteers, the authors of atrocities of war, who thus appear to be masters of the island, number 40,000 men. The Spanish troops are inferior in numbers and fraternise with them. The volunteers are supported in their policy by national clubs and committees representing Spaniards of wealth and influence, and to these it is now proposed to add volunteer reserve corps, composed of persons not hitherto enrolled in military organizations, holding the balance of the ower. This force is absolute in the Cua. The policy of the Government at Madrid must conform to its views. If the volunteers strike for independence, the authority of Spain is destroyed. They compelled the resignation of Captain General Dulce.because he was too lenient in the conduct of the war. They boldly threaten the removal of General De Rodas if he fails to satisfy their demands. They secured the promotion of Valmazeda at the very moment our Government was receiving assurances from Spain that the cruelties to which he owed his advancement should be suppressed. They disregard all laws and all authority which is not in accordance with their sanguinary principles and purposes. Few or none are natives of Cuba they swarm from every part of Spain in search of wealth. None remain in the land they plunder, to live among the people they have wronged. Small fortunes generally satisfy their desires but they often accumulate great wealth according to their aspirations and capacity. They are un accompanied by families and unrestrained by social ties, and represent the most desperate classes of Spain. Our consular officers in Cuba are commercial agents, without the'diplomatic power of authorities. We can not of right insist upon the condition of our political interests in the government of the islands, our diplomatic relations are with Spain, not with Cuba. Our inquiries and protest must be communicated to Madrid reported to Cuba, returned to Spain anc transmitted to the United States, a circuit of many thousand miles and wasting months of time, before either party can appreciate or comprehend the views of the 6ther and then the circuit is to be repeated. Now are we required to shut our eyes to the facts which are patent to all the World, and endure indignities never before practiced on any na tion? Such grave events concerning a period of 18 months show an established condition of the affairs, injuriously affeeling in every way therights, the inters estsand thejumor of the American Government.

is unnecessary to assure

that this disregard of authority and decency is in accordance with the wishes of the present Government of Spain, or that it makes the profession of a regard for the rights of the United States at Madrid, which it does not intend to observe in Cuba. On the contrary, the character of the military force in Cuba, from the official declarations of officers of the United States and of Spain and the record of current events from the beginning of the war, prove conclusively that the Government of Spain in Cuba is unable to conquer the people of Cuba, to suppress rebellion, to enforce its authority, to secure observance of its orders among Spaniards even, to supporting its own officers, to protect the rights of foreign nations* or to punish crimes Avhich the civilized world must condemn It is no longer a civil commotion, as it has been hitherto regarded by us,nor a mere domestic question as it is represented by the Spanish Government. It is a protracted and atrocious civil war. Our first duty is to treat it as a war, and, in accordance with the law of nations, to declare and maintain, in regard to the parties engaged thereiny a. strict neutrality. The record would justify our Government in recognizing the independence of Cuba, or a declaration of war. But we propose only to provide for an emergency, and specify measures to the extent required, but not' further. We ask only that in the armed contest in Cuba, the. existence of which it would be a crime to question, the neutrality of the United States shaU be proclaimed and enforced."

The foregoing is but a brief synopsis of the report, but embraces Its salient points. It appears it was completed last April, and adopted by a majority of the committer after which the accompanying resolution was presented to the House, and a day fixed for its consideration, but that day has long since gone by, and Gen. Banks made but feeble efforts to have the resolution again brought before the attention of the House for final action. The reply makes no recommendation regarding the murdered Americans, although it denounces in strong terms the cruelly and cowardice which caused the death of Wyeth and Spealman.

Messrs. Voorhees and Logan will, it is believed, be prepared with a resolution, additional to that reported by Mr. Banks, authorizing and instructing the Executive .Committee to demand a prompt indemnity from the Spanish Government.

Referring to the charge publicly made and frequently reiterated, that Horace Greeley was grossly a profane man, the New York Standard says "We know of no charm that could be more essentially unftir and we speak from the daily and&ihiliar Intercourse of years, when we say that Mr. Greeley always observed the laws of that pure, direct, earnest and proper conversation which always denotes the gentleman. It seems to be almost an impertinence for us to make a statement which seems like officiousness but it is the truth, and when slander fills the air, it is never untimely to speak what is true."
