TUESDAY, APRIL 30,1872.

The Convention.

No political event for years has created more comment than the Cincinnati Convention. The newspapers of the country, from the mammoth metropolitan dailies to the six by eight rural weeklies have been filled with facts and fancies in regard to the movement for many weeks. J\o papers have had more comments on the movement thati the Administration journals. They hav# assailed men and measure with undirmdished fury from the very inception of the movement. The past history of the originatorsaad indorsers of the Cincinnati Convention has been carefully hunted up and all the misdeeds of their career have been held up to the public gaze in the public prints ofthe Administration ring. Notonly this, but the vile tongue of slander has been busy, having been inspired by a desire to serve the great master to whom the disreputable slanderers owe some trifling oflice, the emoluments of which furnish them their bread and butter. What has been the significance of this great effort on the part ofthe Administration organs and men? Simply that the Cincinnati movement is a "power in the land," and they know full well that its ol ject to purify the government, and place a statesman in the place of a military chieftain in the executive chair of thenation, and honorable men, and men of brains, in all places of public trust,now disgraced by the Dents, their descendants and sympathiers. Yet they have asserted day by day, through the public prints, that the Cincinnati Convention is but a convention of sore-heads growing out of personal feelings against the Grant administration, and amounted to nothiug.

Now the question comes up in a thinking mind, that if the Cincinnati Convention amounted to nothing, why fhis terrible opposition and bitter personality agaiust the greatest statesmen of the nation who originated and indorse the movement? In the mild language of the great and pious Greeley, "they lied and they knew it" when they asserted that the Cincinnati Convention was made up of nothing, heuce would amount nothing. Cincinnati to-day, as indicated by our dispatches, appearing in another column, is crowded with supporters and sympathizers with the great Convention which is convened for the purpose of cleansing the great system of our national Government of the scrofulous taint of corruption.

Just who the standard-bearer of the new party will be, we kuow not as yet, but expect to anuounce to our readers very soon, the selection of a statesman and an honorable man for it is our sincere sentiment that the body of statesmen now in convention assembled, at Cincinnati, have at heart the best interests of the nation, far more than they have personal advancement and aggrandizement. We present the public of this city with all the dispatches from the convention, which we can obtain, and let them form their own conclusions. We have the advantage of our own dispatches and those of the Associated Press from the convention, which do not appear in the great Grant organ—the Express.

Square Out.

The Danville (HI.) Times, perhaps the most ably edited Republican paper in that district, has at last come squarely out against Grant's renomination, and says that—

Ou the ISth of May the Republicans of Vermillion county will hold aconveution to appoint eight delegates to the Suite Convention to be held at Springfield on the 22d of the same month.

Our county convention, for the purpose of reconciling the conflicting elements of our party should choose delegates who will uot give their consent that the State Convention should instruct for Grant.

It is useless and foolish to jeopardize success by bull-headeduess. What is there about Grant that any Republican should want him for President when his nomination would aleuiate a large per cent, of our party

Why take Graut, when, by taking some one else, entire harmony might bi restored

Ivoerner, Fred. Hecker, and Other prominent Republicans, whose names pould not be crowded into this column, declare they will not support Grant.

From the Journal.

St. Agnes Purchase.

In the Express of Saturday last a correspondent asks certain questions of the Board of Trustees of the public schools, which I propose to answer.

It is to be regretted that the person who addreses the Board did not see proper to sign his or her name to the communication for certainly there is nothing in the discussion of this question that any tax-payer should be afraid of, as it is a matter about which every citizen of this city has aright to express themselves freely.

The correspondent of the Express propounds three questions to the Trustees 1. What was the rate of taxation ls*st

yTanswer,

for special purposes, 25 cents

on theSlO0 for tuition purposes, 20 cents on each $100, and 50cent-on each poll. 2. What is the present financial condition of the city School Board

I will answer this question more fully than we have been requested to, and will endeavor to give the approximate financial condition of the treasury at the close of the schools, say July 1, next: There is now in the treasury S 1.7.11.00 I estimate the receipts for tuition at the

May distribution, at 21,000.00 I estimate the receipts for special purposes at the May distribution, at... 21,000.00

Total ...S-lT.ttll.tJO The indebtedness of the Board at this time, exclusive of its bonded debt, is I $17,000.00 It wlli require to pay teachers and janitors to the close of the schools, say 7,0*10.00 School bonds falling due July 1st, next UOOO.OO Interest on bonds 3,000.00

Total 8W.600.00 Leaving balance

111

trea-ury, July 1st... $8,151.0!)

Of this sum there will belong to the tuition fund f,037.54 To the special fund l,104,yt

The Board of Trustees will then 0*1 $24,000 in bonds due in one, two and three years from July 1st.

A tax of 25 cents (which is the rate assessed last year for special purposes) on the $100, will realize on the present value of taxable property within the corporate limits of the city about $24,000 t&X6S«

It will require next jrear $10,400 to pay principle and interest on the bonded debt, and about $9,000 to pay incidental expenses of the schools, which will leave a balance in the treasury of special school funds of about $6,600.

I come now to the question of the purchase of St. Agnes Hall, and it is proper that I should say here that the Board have never had any meeting on this subject, nor have they come to any conclusion about it. The members of the Board have examined carefully the grounds and buildings, and have had a proposition from Mr.. .Early in regard to the purchase. As to the legal rights ofthe Board to purchase this property, and institute therein a course of study on collegiate principles, I presume there is none. Nor was there any right in the Common Council issuing $20,000 bonds a few years ago, and donating the proceeds towards the erection of the Normal School not did said Council have any right to donate said grounds for Normal purposes, as there was nothing in the law to warrant these acts and yet they have been done and the people are satisfied, and do not regret the outlay or regret the gift of the land.

What the Board of Trustees have thought of is this: that they possibly could purchase the St. Agnes property at a fair price, on along time, at low interest, and that a commencement might be made there of a high school, where every boy and girl of this city might obtain an education that will quality thera for any position in life, and be under the protection and care of their parents and guardians. It must be apparent to any person who has given thesubjectany thought or attention, that at least seventy-five per cent, of all boys and girls that are sent from home to colleges and boardirig schools are simply ruined.

The boy that leaves home at the age of eighteen or nineteen years, goes at that stage in life, of all other times, when he needs the advice and protection of his parents. There are two kinds of education at all our colleges: One is to improve the mind and the other is to leSrn to chew and smoke tobacco, drink whisky, and play all kinds of games, to say nothing of certain other accompaniments that go with these these last accomplishments, as a usual^ thing, the students become very proficient in,' and graduate with high honors and as to the first and great object, as I said, in seventy-five cases in a hundred they know less when they come out than they do when they go in.

As to female colleges, or hoarding schools, th,ey simply have turned themselves into'dress-parades and followers of fashion aud the girl who is to be a wife and mother would be far better off to never see the inside of one of these socalled institutions of learning. I admit there are exceptions to these, but they are few in number.

I can not to-day speak of the action of our Board it may abandon this project and think it too heavy a burthen at this time for the people, but as certain as the sun shines so certain will the people of this city at no distant day demand a- further step and more progress in our schools, and I hope to see the day when every boy and girl in our city can be educated to the highest standard that their parents or guardians may require. And if the law to-day will not sustain this advancement, the people will see that it is made to. If I was asked how hiuh in learning I would go with the common schools of the country I would answer, "just as far as the people would let me."

E. B. ALLKN,

Secretary of the Board.

Voirhces and the Mormons. The New York World is rather severe upon "our Daniel." It says: "We are more surprised than pleased to find that a conspicuous member of the Democratic minority in Congress, Mr. Yoorhees, of Indiana, is taking an active part in the more than questionable work of legislating* the {Mormons into monogamy. The busiuess of moral crusading which has been carried on for so many years in this country, with more profit to the crusaders than to American freedom or the morals of the American people, might well, it strikes us, be left to the original patentees in New England. It certainly can not be necessary that a Western Democrat should bid for a share of this business by such propositions as Mr. Voorhees has embodied in bis 'bill to aid the enforcement of the laws in Utah.' The very title of the bill awakens suspicion."

THE St. Louis Democrat, a paper which is managed by that intrepid hunter and daring athlete, Joseph B. McCullagh, gives the following graphic account of a scene incident to the recent change in the proprietorship of the Journal office:

The dashiug Hollo way has laid aside his powerful pen doubtless with an apostrophe to the same, like that of the author of Don Quixotte—and will hereafter devote himself exclusively to the Indianapolis postoffice. He found itimpossible to edit the Journal and the postoffice and as the Rev. George C. Harding has resigued as assistant, and will devote himself exclusively to the Journal, we shall look for vijior tb»re also. The parting between Hollo way and Harding is described as very impressive, not to say sad. Hollowaypresented Harding with a gold watch sis a toke^P of his esteem for the value of his services as assistant postmaster and a half iiour afterward Harding presented this same chronometer to Holloway as a memento of their pleasant editorial association. After which Holloway returned the timekeeper to the confiding jeweler who had loaned it for the double-barreled purpose of affectionate regard.

THESmithsonianInstitutehas just received a curiosity of great novelty and -value for the national museum. It is a battle trophy of a race of natives living near the headwaters of the Amazon river, and is the head of a captive, condensed "by some unknown process to a size not more than three inches in diameter, the original proportions of the features bein^g preserved. It looks like the head of some ptemy. These trophies are esteemed highly by the natives, and they are difficult to obtain.

Delicate Creatures.—This is the phrase applied by his blackness, the Moor of Yenic-e, to the fair ladies of Italy. It was the lovely complexion of Desdemona such a radiant contrast to his own, that won his heart aud sooth to say, every man of discernment considers a fair skin, like a sweet voice, "an excellent thing in woman." Now this is a charm which can be acquired. There is a healthful and odoriferous toilet article, known everywhere as HAGAN'S MAGNOLIA BALM, which literally transfigures a cloudy or sallow skin, suffusing the discolored face, neck, arms and bosom with a soft, pearly tinge, and imparting to the surface a smoothness and a gloss like that of polished marble. Instead of olog ging the pores, like the sticky enamels, or contracting them, and thus obstructing perspiration, like the astriugent cosmetics, it cleanses the skin from all impurities aud wonderfully improves its texture. This peculiarity is particularly appreciated by our rural belles, who find that the coarseness and roughness, which country air is apt to engender, are speedily removed from their faces, hands and arms, by this delightful preparation.

Dead Men Tell no Tales: if they did, anathemas agaiust the depleting laucet, the drastic purge, and the terrible salivants of the materia medica, would arise from every graveyard. The motto of modern medical science is "Preserve and .Regulate, not destroy, and no remedy of our day is so entirely in harmony with this philanthropic logic as DK. WALKER'S VEGETABLEVINEGAR BITTERS. In this powerful, yet harmless restorative, dyspepsia, billions complaints, and all diseases of the stomach, liver, bowels and nerves, encounter an irresistible antidote.
