THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1872.

Why Inharmonius at First. The liberal and independent press of the country are almost a unit in support of the principles which have called the great Convention at Cincinnati. That they differ as to candidates we are fully aware. This difference, however, is in the natural order of things, and characterizes almost every convention which has ever assembled in this country since the organization of the Government, though in a greater degree than in most cases. This grows out of the fact that there areso many able statesmen, uncompromising patriots, noble and true men in charge of and connected with it that it, is difficult to choose one. This division of mind, however, is being rapidly harmonized, and the "coming man" will doubtless be announced through these columns to-day. That man, we feel confident, willbechosen by the harmonious action of the convention and as the standard bearer of the reconstructed Republican party of the nation, will be harmoniously supported in the coming canvass to its consummation, by not only the Liberal Republicans of the country, but by those Democrats who have accepted the inevitable, if not the entirely acceptable, and are willing to make personal sacrifices for the Nation's weal.

For What Did Mrs. Fair Kill Crittenden? This conundrum, so frequently propounded by the public,and its solution so fruitlessly undertaken by the press, has at last been solved by George Lyoijel Stephens, a "friend" of the California man-slayer, who accounts for the awful tragedy in a memorial drawn up to present to Governor Newton Booth, of California, as follows: "Through impossible intent, and consequent on a aeries of acts of imprudence and a special interview arousing, giving rise to, and causing an absent-minded, agonizing hysterica-passio, to all women under similar circumstancos producing unknown action, mourned over as soon as with its sorrowful results discovered."

Now, all women have not been under similar circumstances and we congratulate that large and importaut element of the world's make up that they have not all been under similar circumstances. If ever there was a coolly calculated murder committed and recorded in the an nals of crime as appears by the court calendars of this country, the shooting of Judge Crittenden by Laura D. Fair, was that one. As appeared by the evidence, that bloody drama was enacted after mature and thoughtful premeditation on the part of the perpetrator of the murder. The motivewas to prevent the return of the victim to the arms of his wife and the bosom of the family he had deceived, we admit. The crime is not thus lessened however.

COLONEL ROBERT N. HUDSON, of Terre Haute, Indiana, the editor and publisher of the Terre Haute Express, is at the Burnet House. Ho is heartily in favor of the Liberal movement.—Cincinnati Commercial.

The Commercial seldom "opens its mouth" ou Indiana affairs "without putting its foot in it." In this instance its blunder puts the Express in so false a position that we are compelled to notice it. Col. R. N. Hudson has had no connection with this journal since 1861.—Express.

The above correction will undoubtedly be as gratifying to Col. Hudson as to our ambitious South Fifth street cotemporary. It certainly is not to the credit of any one to be connected with a paper that has as poor a lease of life as the Express, under present management.

In his absence, we take the liberty of inserting ail the Commercial said in this connection, only a part of which the Repress reproduced. "Colonel Robert N. Hudson, of Terre Haute, Indiana, the editor and publisher of the Terre Haute Express, is at the Burnet House. He is heartily in favor of the Liberal movemeut, which he thinks, it Judioiously managed, and with the right candidates placed on the ticket, the majority against Grant in Indiana will be altogether unprecedented. Colonel Hudson was formerly a member of the staff of General Fremont. He-is a gentleman of taleuts and influence, and one of the founders of the Republican party in Indiana."

THE Cincinnati Commercial and New York World have championed Charles Francis Adams up to yesterday. The Cincinnati Enquirer favored Horace Greeley, whose stock it claimed at that time, was rapidly advancing in the Presidential ^market. All the New York Tribune asks in the premises, pertaining to a candidate, it asserts to be a man who will symbolize the principles for which the convention isratted antH»rry^fa« largest number of votes. All these powerftfl publications and the hundreds of lesser magnitude will, we trust, support the

regular nominee of the party, if any •ound reformer and statesman is selected. So be it!

Mnrat Halstead oil the Situation. The New York Herald of Monday, by its representative at Cincinnati, reports the following conversation with Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial: "Mr. Halstead, do you promise to give devout su pport to the nominees of the Liberal Convention?" "That depends upon circumstancos. If the Democrats nominate, I shall support the strongest Republiean candidate. There are some mennamed as the possible nominees of this convention whom I will not support. I will not support Justice Davis. He disgusted me when he took the Labor Reform nomination at the hands of a set of fellows who had their railroad fare and hotel bills paid to go to Columbus. I don't I now whether he paid them or not: but as he was most interested in their meeting he is as responsible as anybody else. I sympathize with the original purposes of the Liberal movement as defined by the Missourians. But il the Democrats nominate a separate candidate, and he bids •lair to get the support of the whole Democratic constituency, I mi^ht be compelled to support Grant, which I do not want to do." .. 'What are you sbjections to President Grant?" "Grant has particularly incensed the people ot this locality, and he has no considerable support here. We are overrun with his kin. The postmaster of Covington, across the river, is his father—a rich old curmudgeon and a nuisance. The assessorover there got his office at the intercession of Mrs. Corbin, Grant's sister.

All the people wanted Rankjn, a man of character, to have this place, but when they presented their petition, Grant replied

4I

promised it to my sister. He

seemed to have no notion that this was an indignant answer. The man who got the office had been in the habit of lending his buggy to the Grants. The Collector ot Revenue there is also a family appointment. The postmaster of Newport is not known to the most obscure or oldest citizen, and he was a cousin. Foulds, the postmaster here—a very good officer—is another relative. Intact, we are overrun with kin. Some people say this is a little matter, but I think it shows that General Grant has no conception of his office or the scruples of his countrymen. It will be very hard work for me to support him." "Is there nothing on the other hand to be said, for the President "Yes. There is nothing sensational nor experimental about him., and it he should sit in that office four years more, the country would probably go on without disturbance and the average prosperity. I think that Greeley, Gratz Brown, Trumbull, and even John M. Palmer, are experimentalists. As to Davis, we take no stock in him hereabouts. Justice ought to be blind, and not to hop down from the Supreme.Bench to the cock-pit. The best candidate to put up is Charles Francis Adams. That is the universal sentiment of Ohio. It is the opinion of the best people in Indiana. It is the voice ot New England. He is the first public man of the country. Before the war came on he delivered the most comprehensive and perceptive speech which was made. During the war he behaved with a coolness and silence of the best European statesman at his post. The English found a man among them as cold and controlling as themselves. He is a faithful American, and we can send him out of Hamilton county with 9,000 majority. I do not know one point which the Grant men can make against Adams, nor the Democrats either."

From the Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Newspapers and "their Editors. It may have been that Mark Twain had it in his shrewd mind to tickle the newspaper men, in order that they might tickle him in return, when hte incorporated in his boolf a practical tribute to their industry and accomplishments. Wheth er this is so or hot, it is very certain that he told the truth when he referred so feelingly to the exhaustion of ptimping their brains dry every day in the week and the year and wlien he said that, while people are assustomed

tQ

regard it

as something wonderful that Dickens, Scott, Bulwer, Dumas and others should have prodaced so many books,—say ten or fifteen for as many years of their lives, —they utterly ignore the fact that news paper editors produce what would be equivalent to six or eight bulky volumes every year in their lives.

The truth is that the good newspapers of to-day, thrown upon the steps ot the house early in the morning or evening, come to their readers with so little apparent effort, present so easy and pleasant an occupation for an hour, have everything so admirably arranged for their convenience—the telegraph news from all parts of the world, the markers for the business man, the editorial expressions for the politicians, gossip for the ladies, the local events for all who are interested, light reading for the tired, and advertisements that are frequently not the least interesting portion of the journal, all these things areso regular, so clear, and apparently so easy that the reader never pauses for a moment to think at what expense of the mental physical forces they have been produced. His gratitude is only attested by grumbling if his paper is teu minutes behind time, by stopping it if there is a siugleexpression opposed to his individual ideas, by complaining whenever the bill is presented to him, or, still more frequently, by reading a paper which somebody else subscribes for, and thus defrauding the editors of the small reward for which they have worked so hard.

The American newspapers are the best and most enterprising that are published anywhere on the face of the earth. There is nowhere else such enterprise and lavish expentiture in gathering news. No other newspapers treat current topics so promptly and exhaustively. Noiie other combine the history of each day of the week with so much entertaining reading matter, literary excellence and material that was formerly only to be found in high-priced books. There are huudreds of articles iu the newspaper press of America every day that will compare favorably in elegance of diction, extent of information, or interest of contents, with books that havegained great fame for their authors. Y^t these articles live but for a day, are forgotten individually, and bring no creditor fame to the plodders who produce them. The anonymous system of journalism, by which a dozen men of talent and ability contribute to make one great newspaper, naturally deprives the individuals of all their share of credit, uo matter how greaff reputation the aggregate newspaper may attain. Or, if the general public thinks about the matter at all, its conclusions are that Mr. Greeley writes all the good things for the New York Tribune, Mr. Marble all the brilliant articles of the World, Mr. Bowles everything of interest in the Springfield Republican, Mr. Halstead all the saucy things of the Cincinnati Commercial, Mr. Story all the slashing and witty articles of the Chicago Times, and so on. They don't stop to think that such a thing would be physically as well as mentally impossible, and that many men, young and old, of as much brain as a p«litician has impudence, ai modestly contributing to the progress of civilization, the development of the country, and the best amusement of mankind without other reward than the living they make at it aud the satisfaction they find in it.

FROM Cincinnati we have the most cheerful reports of the great popular convocation. Out of the chaos of the crude opinions and half-formed preferences which the first arrivals manifested, there are slowly evolving order, harmony, and an intelligent perception of the magnitude of the demonstration which the call for the convention has evoked. It is noticeable that a desire to subordinate all •differences as to nou-ess^ntials has generally prevailed. The necessity for reform, the imperative call for united action against existing abuses, seems to sol-

idify all of the elements of this huge pop­

ular

gathering from all parts of the Republic. Something of its significance is seen in the fact that Louisiana is repri sented by a delegation which comprises all of the men who were delegates to the

Delicate Creatures.—This is the phrase applied by his blackness, the Moor of Venice, to the fair ladies of Italy. It was the lovely complexion of Desdemoua jsuch a radiant contrast to his own, tlvat won his heart and sooth to say, every mari of discernment considers a fair skin, like a sweet voice, "an excelleut 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, whieh literally transfigures a cloudy or sallow skin, suffusing the discolored face, ueck, 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 clog ging the pores, like the sticky enamels, or contracting them, and thus obstructing perspiration, like the astringent cosmetics, it cleanses the skin from all im•purities and wonderfully improves its texture. This peculiarity is particularly appreciated by our rural belles, who find that the coarseness ana roughness, which country air is apt to engender, are speedily removed from their faces, hands aud arms, by this delightful preparation.

I)e .d Men Tell no Tales: if they did, anathemas against the depleting lancet, 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, aud no remedy of our day is so entirely in harmony with this philanthropic logic as DR. WALKER'S'VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTERS. In this powerful, yet harmless restorative, dyspepsia, billious complaints, and all diseases of the stomach, liver, bowels and nerves, encounter an irresistible antidote.

We wa^n the public against shoddy makes of Carpets, pushed off on customers as

"Family Carpets", "Hand-loom" Carpets, &c. "Hand-loom" Carpets are rag carpets. You could make a fine, smooth, pretty Ingrain or Brussels Carpet on a "hand-loom"

about as easy as you could make a watch with a sledge hammer. "Hand-loom," whe

applied to any other kind than rag carpet, simply means SHODDY—a carpet to whic

no manufacturer will put his name. If you wish only good "Power-loom Carpets the lowest prices, buy them out of our New Stock.
