histoiical distinotion before them.
Tht Htnipple of the eight-hour strikers with
their einplnyi-ra begins to grow ominouidy
l.itt.-r. Two thousand men marcbed, yoHter
day, to Meinway & Soiis' faotory, and
hf force of mimbers, though without
n.-t uui viohnce, compolled the moehanics
employed thero to stop woik. Other minor
domnnstrations of the Bame kind were
ina.le, and in two or three cases bointerous
Ktrikers were arrosted and lockod up. It ia to
ba hope.l that the workmen, who have thus
far conducUd their movemeut with creditable
moderation, will Btudiously avoid all riotous
outbreaks, which oannot do them good, but
niupt work them serious hann.

It seems after all that there wero a few
honest and sanguine men who nccepted tho
mandate of delegate to Philadelphia under tho
hclief that the Convention was to be a delib
er.itivo body, meeting to Belcct the bcat and
most available candidates. It has only required
a day to eonTinco soroe of them of their mia
take. Gov. Pierpont of West Virginia, finding
that the Convention was to be run as n. mere
machine in the intercst of Gen> Grant, has
formally resigned his plaee in his delegation,
not wishing to participato in a nomination
which hia congcieace will not ftllow him to
aupport?a Btinging commentary upon the ossi
fication of the party which prevents the play
of any aincere or independent thonght within
the organization.
Tba new aet making cbanges in the taamoa
distilled Bpirits and tobacco, with the altera
tions in the Tariff, may be estimated asefleet
ing a reduction oi npward of $50,000,000 in tho
revenue. As regards tobacco, tho suggestion
of Commissioncr Donglas bas been followcd,
and a uniform tax of 20 cents per pound will
take the plaee of 16 and 82 cents, now paid
on chewing and smoking tobacco, respect
ively. The tax on distilled spirits is in
ereased from 60 to 70 rents per gallon.
The revenue districts are to be roduced, wliile
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue will be
practically the diaburscr of rewards to inform
crs. Tho bill, on the whole, contains many
judicious cbanges, but leaves an important
work uudone in not abolishing the lncome
Tax._
the coyvEynox.
Four years ago a Convention of tho Kepub?
liean rarty nominated Gen. Grant for Presi?
dent of the United States. There had been a
great deal of previons diseussion, and many
who doubtod his fitness for civil affairs, or
preferred other persons to this inexperienced
officer, had opposed the se.ection with con
Biderable energy. Put when it became cvi
dent tbat the majority wished for Grant, dis
semion eeased; tho choiee of the Convention
waa unanimously accepted; and those who had
objected to his nomination worked with all
tht ir might to elect bim. There had been a
fair interchange of views, aud it was nd
mitted on all sides to be rcasonablc that tho
deliberate judgment of the leaders of tlie
party nnd the va>t majority of the voter.s
should overrulc the pcrwnal prvference* of
the objectors.
Yesterdav a Convention met in Philadelphia
to nominato Gen. Grant again. But this is
not like the former patberinp, an nssemblape
of dclcpates fnun tho whole Republican party.
Practically, everybody who want. a new ean?
didate is eicludcd from this body. There has
been no such thiDg, inside the party, as a freo
and frnuk di.-cussion of tho President's claims
to rcelection, but tbe task of dictating tbe ac?
tion of tbe Convention was taken in hand by
a knot of profeswonal managera Iong ago,
and whoever ventured to dissent from their
resolution was iustantly excommutiicated.
Tbose wbo bclieved tliat Gen. Grant bad been
unfaithful to his trust, that he had filled every
department of tbe Government with cor
rnption, that he had prolonged diseord in the
tutb, tbat his Adniinistration bad been ex
travagant, tbat under tbe rule of his Military
King a contempt for law had been introduced
into tho cxecutive brancb of the Govcrnincnt,
and the fundamental principles of Repub
lican.sin had been imperiled, were not
allowed to be heard in supportof a change of
candidates; bnt mountebanks liko Nye, and
proteutious persons liko Conkling, asstimcd to
read them out of the party and eonsign tbem
to tbe linibo of political heretics. Tbe consc
quence is a gitut and growing scbism, and
the "National Couvention" no longer
represents the historic party wbich earried
us throngh the war for freedom and equal
riKhts, but a mere faction, fighting for a man,
not a principle, and ruled by a littlo army of
Civil Service appointees. Wo miss from its
couns-ls nearly all tbc leaders wbu made tho
early earecr of tbe party illustrious. We miss
Charles Sumner, who has been for a'quarter
of a century the apostle of Kepubliean
ideas; Carl Schurz, who is to-day tho most
brilliant Republican orator; Lyman Trum
bull, one of the foremost Republican Btatcs
iin-ii and jurists ; Adains, the ableBt and
moat cultivated of Republican diplomatists.
In their plaees we havo Pomeroy and Chand
ler and Flanagan, Thonias Murphy and Charlcs
BL Spencer. Of the journalist- who had moro
to (ln with the formation and euecess of the
party than even tbe politieians, almost every one
of eniinencc is abstnt. For While, and Medill,
and Halstead, aud Bowles, and Godwin, and
Bryant, and Greeley, we bave Ibe editors of
The New-York Times and Tlie New-York Stand
ard, and many a Bcore of villngo publioi.ts
who swell their incoroe from po-U-oftlces and
?flBcanortihipr. with the protits of a eountry
printing offlee.
It i* prepoHterous to pretend tbat n oepara
tion liko this can bo tho result of personal
j. alousiea and disappointments. The Republi?
can party proved its willingness in 1808 to
. uerifice individual prefereuces for tbe com
mon good; and if the Liberals in 1S72 are not
williug to be drapooued into votinp as Gen.
Grant dictates, it la beoause experience baa
shown the misgivinpa with whieb tbey regarded
him four years ago to have.been well-founded.
He has proved hiiiiseli inconipcteiit
aa a civil administrator. He bas de
veloped a sbameless disregard of con
Btitutional r.straints and nn alanninp
fondness for personul government. Hc hua
aurrmindct. himself with corrupt favoriU-s and

THK DRFEXSK OF TUE BIXG.
Tho dec.ision of Judge HofB-JOOIB in the
casea of Tweed, Connolly, and Kielda yeater?
day announccd U one of the most important
successca gained for tbc people in tbcir detor
mined crusado againat the Ring. lt ia pfir
ticularly enco.iraging at tliis time, aince it
aignnlizea tbe renewal of tbe prosecution of
tho Ring roguea, which many people biul begun
to fear had been nbandoncd. It is dear that
tlie Ring, BfaBT Bll ita bravado nnd boasts that
it had nn ntnplc dcfenao, hns no mind to be
tried if delaya can poaaibly prcvent it, unleas
it be in courta under ita own rontiol nml under
prosecution by offlcers of its own crcation.
llappily all eannot avoid tho issuo by rcsign
ing as Judge Oardozo did, or by mnning
away aa Connolly and Woodward nnd the
loaser burglnrs of the Contiollcr's office have
done; aud some day thcre wlll bo n comlu
aion to tho Bnita ngainst Tweed, Connolly,
Ingeraoll, and Eields, just renewed at Albany.
Mii.h legal verbiage iu the reportH of tbe
hearing of the demurief, which iu licii ki
their "ample defense " tho Ring criniinala
havo prcBcnted, aorves to comphcato tbe iasne
just tried, and it is not bo cleur ns it ahoulil
be to tbe goncral publie what isinjjular tS-B-B_B
tbe Ring has uot up. Wo cudcuvor to mako
this plain to nll.
The flgbt juit endod was upon tho point
wbether tho Ring oriiiiinal* shall 1)0 prosecnted
l.y tho Corporution Counael of this city, whom
it ia notoiious tbey own, or by the Rureau of
Municipal Corrcction, whoao counael have dc
tocted aud iudictod tbem; and wbether they
ahall be tried in courta whose Judgcs the
Ring create.l for its own piirpoaes, or in those
of districts in which tho bancful political iuflu
enco of Tweed haa not been felt. The question
prcsented was wbether Riehard O'Gormnn's
sh.iiii anit or the earnest ono of Charlea
O'Conor ahouid l>o tried. The ground was
l.oldly aaaumed at Albany, and wo auppoao, in
spiteof thia revcrae, will be reitcrated in tbo
Suprcmc Court, that the State haa BO interest
in recovcring the atolcn nioney of tliis county,
and hence tbat the Attomey-Gcneral of tbe
wbole BUte baa no right to institute proceed
iiiKa in the name of all the people to recover
millions filcbed from only a part. In this ex
traordinary claim, which common aenso re
pudiatea, whatever common law may deorce,
the Corporntion Couiisel himself concun-ed,
and eomewlmt iutrusivoly demanded from the
Court that tho right of prosecution bc con
fided absolutoly to him. If ho had nppeared
at Albany ns Twccd'a counsel he eould not
have dono better [ffcoofh happily ineflective)
service. to the man ho MMM auxious that only
be himself ahonld prosccute. Thiia every in?
fluenee tliat Tweed eould command, na well
as every urguniont tliat his counsel eould ad
vanco and every quibble they eould dovise,
were cmployed to transfcr these suits fr.nn
the hands of O'Conor to thoae of O'lioiiiian,
and from coiirts where Twcod's inlliiei.i e is
not felt to thoae in which his nod <>r lio'wi
aflecta eveiy decision.
lt is caay to scc that tho wbole people, who
are roally the prosecutors in tbe.so suits, would
deoide vrith Judge Uogeboom that this brazen
deMBIIM to nvoid a plea and trial was to
lally unleniible ; nnd there is no doubt as to
which ofthe two men they would prefer to trust
with the conduct ot the cases. To be plain, all
New-York reoognizes that any prosecution of
Tweed l?y Mr. O'Gorman in any court of tliis
county or l1lB.ll.ll would be a legal faree?an
insult to which tho people and pressof New-Yoilc
would not paticntly aubmit. Of course the
f-uits will be carried by tho Ring to the Su
preme Court, and perhaps thenco to tho Court
of Appcals, with tbc object of gaining timo if
liothing else. But how delay is now to help
tht- defi nilaiits is a mystery ; and tlicy nppear
to fight for it with no wcll-defined pnrpose,
trusting, appare.iitly, that somcthing will turn
up unexpectedly to aave them. Twenty days
aro given them to nnswer tho complainta or
a).peal. Wo trust they will bo promptly pros
c(uu d wbenevcr they consent to try isauea of
fact. In the mean time tbey eannot hope for
liiucli rclicf froni the hupreme Couit, to which
thoy will now. doubtless, nppeal.
FLOWERS OF PHILADELPniA.
The entbusiasm which wo promised for
Pl.iladelphia does not fail. There has never
Ik'cii a more loyal Convention. The oflice
bol.lera and candidates atrivo with each otber
for the aake of proving themselves atronger
Grant men than any of their neighbora.
There is no aemblance of deliberation?no
pretenso of anything like free choice. They
eome to rccommend themaelvea to power by
slmwing devotion to Gen. Grant, nnd the only
struggle ia to be flrst in uttering tho common
j.laces of eulogy which all have proparod.
Th.- apecchea thus far made at the
Convention are not likely to make any
permanent addition to tho political litera
turo of tbe time. They have no aignificanco,
unless perhapa in their unconacious admia
aiona. Thua Mr. McMichacl aaid that Gen.
Grunt had ao many privations during tbe war
that tbo people are willing that he shall
apend the period of his Presidoncy " with
" horses and cigara and aea-side loiteriugs,'?
and thcy intend to givo him four yoars more
foi tho aaine diveraions. This is franker Ian
guage than eould be possiblo in any conven?
tion of free men. It is probably tbe Iirst timo
it was ever aeriotisly proposed to givo any
man the Preaideney for his own amusoment.
Mr. Logan made a proposition which woul.l bo
atiil more atartling if anybody attached any
mcaning to what tbo gallant General
aaya. Ho projwsed that the eountry ahouid
say to Gen. Grant, " Well done, thou good
"and faitbful aervnnt; thou hast been faith
" ful over a few things, we will make tbee
" ruler over many." The few things are tbe
roattera now within the eontrol of tho Presi?
dent ; and Mr. Logan would like to widon the
Bphere of Executive eontrol. Ruler over mauy
?will the Honorable Jobn explain what are
the many things over which he wishen bis new
iimster to be mnde ruler. Rut perhaps he
meant nothing at nll. Tlie quotation IBBM
into hia head, and be usod it to exercisc his
fluo voicc. But if this were tho caae. tbe
wbole Convention was eqnally carelcas or igno
rant of tlie mcaning of worda, for it received
Mr. Logau's daring suggestiou witb cheers.
Gen. Logan was not alone iu his aiiKgoations
of widened rule for tbc President. Mr. Morton
alao claimed for him vaat and far-reachin^
powers. He wauted " a bold, atronir Govern
" ment, to protect our fellow-citizena abao
" lutely, juat as we insiat on the protection of
"the livos and liberty of American citisens in
" ioreign lands." It is generally aupposed tbat
an Amcriran citiBon is entitled to aomo pro?
tection unde.i bis .Stato laws, in ordinary times,
witlioiit any interferciico of Mr. Mmton's
"bold, Hliong governinenl." Mr. Moiton
doea not spoak yf ggggg-gUti MJMJ
he holds and ronstantly expreasea imporial
views of the relation of tho Gcnoral Goyern
ment to the State-. Hi? simile in thia instance
is unfortunate. The Federal Government can
afTord no protection to a citizen abroad except
by diplon.iitic repreBontations, or by war. We
believe bi otttt not propose any such means
of iiitorfi-reneo wilh our dome. tie statuto law.
Hesid.s. if that "bal-k strong government"
of which bo ia so foud can afford no moro
protection to people at bome than it does to
eitin-ns abroad, we hope, in tho intere.it of
pul.lic, saiely.that it may never bo called upon
to proteet us. The snfest man to shooi, or

been mado in tho iutcrest of some rival
eandidate for the Vice-Presidency. But wo

TIIE XEtY TARIFF.
It is uratifying to bavo nt lcngth the tcxt of
tlie Tariff bill, for in the rccent confused legig
lution tbere was reason to fear that Congresa
might make many ill-considorcd cbanges. Tho
principal reductiou of tho Tariff is, of eourse,
mado in tbe section wbich lowers tbo duties
10 per ecnt on all articles composcd of
wo?l, cotton, tbo metals, paper, india
mbber, glasfl, nnd leather; aa well
as on tbo raw matcriais used in Buch
manufactiires. Thia measuro evinces an un
skillful manner of regulating duties, and is al
most without parallel in tho _L;cal history of
any other nation. It acts uneriually, for whilo
some branchos of tho ditlerent industries will
not be materially nfletted, othera, as iron
rsme.Ring and wool-producing, will suffer, and
ought not to have again to experienco the m
stability of tbe Tarifl*. Tho aiblitions to tbo
froe list .ccin ou tbo wholo judicious,
confisting mainly of commodities used in tho
nrts or in medicino wbich we do not produce
at hi.nie. Tbo duty on bituniinous coal has
H en le.lucrd from $1 50 to 75 cents per tuu?
a cbango wbich will put to a practical tesL tbo
Vtuo Trnde assumption tliat tho price of both
tbe bome and foreign product is enbauccd to
tho full amount of tho existing duty.
BaU in bulk is to pay in future 8 cents
iiiht.-ad of 18 per 100 pounds, while in bag* it
will pay II inatead of 24 cents. This c!i.ni<?.
will remove a convenient pretext for assailing
tho whole policy of Protection, and ought to
securo a valuablo indu. try from constant mis
representation. Tbat salt will be sold to
tho great bulk of our peoplo at less
prices than formerly ir> not probable, for expe?
rience proves that it has advanced in prico in
pruportion nu its munu fact ure was retarded by
unrcstrained foreign compotitiou. Coiibidering
that Congresa was in no mood to give duo
care to iii(lu.trial legislation, and was deter
mined to make a heavy rednction, it is fortu
nate, on the whole, tbat tbere is so littlo to
complain of in tbo prescnt bill, which is as
near an npproach to proserving tbo prescnt
Tariff as was coiiBistent with a dimiuisbed
rovenue. _
RATIFICATIOSS.
We did not cxaggcrato wlien WB said yes
tiniay that the meeting on Monday evening
was "a more empbatic ratification than that
" of Grant in 1808 or of Liucoln in 1804." Gen.
Grant was nominated without any serious
opposition, aud the great meeting to ratify tho
cboico of tlio Convention was held at Cooper
lnstitute on tho 2?th of May. 'Hie
lunial party machinery was extensivcly
employed to mako au iniposing denion
stration, and a Iong list of spoakcr.
was advertised, including tlie namesof soveral
popular orators. By contrast, however, with
tbo meeting of this week thero would not ap?
pear to havo been any extraordinary en
thusiasm. The lnstitute ?f eourse was filled,
and there was the usual applause and cbcer
ing; but of strictly popular manifcstatioiis
there were absolutely none. Mr. Charlcs S.
Spencer preaided over tho meeting. Gen.
John Cochrane, of whom Ihe Time* now en
tertuins tho most coutemptuous opinion, mado
tho principal uddress, and tbe only otber
speakers wero Chauncey M. l.epew, Major
Jame. Hagtferty, and L. H. Chandler of Vir?
ginia. There was no outsido meeting, and ?
full report of tbe proceedings oeeupied ouly
two and a half coluinns in Tiie Tiuulne.
The ratification of Mr. Lincoln's second
nomination in 1804 was held at Cooper Innti
tute, June 15. Mr. Spencer preaided on thi
occasion also. Mr. Henry J. Raymoud m..do
an excellent speech, and was followed by ex
(.ovcuior Wdfbt of lndiana and Mr. S. Mat
tbews of Baltimorc. There was no necessity
for out-ide stands, and three or four coluinns,
much .-hoiter and narrower than those Wt now
BM) werq ample for tho account of all that
was said and done. There wa. ceituinly no
moro than the custoinary entlnirtiasm evoktd
ut all political gatherings of this natuic.
Tbo meeting on Monday was uianaged by
no clubn aud Miinulated by no i-xpeuditure of
money; yet our readers know how far it
exceeded its twoprcdecessors. The peojilecamo
in thiongs to tc-*tify their syni|.athy with tho
Liberal cauae and its candidates, and not only
was tl.o ball tilh-d to overflowing, but cruwds
k'alhi-it-d urouud -be platfonnn in tbe Mjuure
in far gtatttt aaa_bM than thi* licnt spouker's
voico eould reach, nnd ut tiinc. seeir.e.l to
bloek the thm-tkk about the lnstitute. lt wa?
cstimnti .1 tbat as many as twolve or fift.-en
(hon .an.l peoplo took part in this impoHJng
demoustration. We printed twenty-four bioa.l
columna of the speeches, and even tben eould
not iimi lo.iui for all. Tbo pnhlic can Araa
it-. own conclusions from the contrast.
TUE LEOIBLATVEE ASD REH'-YORK CITY.
We publish to-day a careful summary of thr
lawrt passed by the preaent I-eginlatun- m. hich
spccially affect the City of New-York. ln r.
gurd to tho flnaucea of tho city and county.
tho Legialnture has aeted with good inten
tions and aecording to tho httt knowledgc
within ita reach. lt is lo l>?. regretted tlmt
the inri.a-u. of th.< debt of tlie cor
]ioiiltiun c.ilinot bo htoppiii foi a
-ovr yottrs by w_u.l--.o_uv. Ims. Tbil
may bo dono by requiring monoy for ?pocial
objocts to bo raiaed by taxation instoad of by
the iaane of bonda acoording to tho preaent
pemicioiis ctistom. Had the I.c^shtiire. h??w
ever, inereaaed the tux-rate so as to pmvido
tho money required for extcnding the distri
l.iition of I'roton water, improving the parks
aml tbe balf a acore of otber ol.jocts for which
tho issuo of bouds is still aiithoiized, it would
bave had uo thanks for its tmuble. This iaa
reform which must be accoinplished by our
own citizeiis, jf it ever ia acconiiilish. <1.
U/ifortunately, there seems to be evi-rywliere
n iiinnia for runuing into debt. Counlics waiit
authority to iaaue bonds for every new coii.t
lioii.se, jail, or alms-housc they are required to
l.uil.l. It nlrcady costa this city one-half aa
inn. h to pay the nnnual intere.^t on ita in
dcbtedneag aa to meet all the ordinary ex
jm naes of governnient. With an intcreat cbargo
of over $8,000,000, we etill aee the Controller
inviting propoaals every month for fresh bonda.
Aaide from tho auma required to meet tho de
iiciencies under tho oldJTamniauy govcrnment,
tho Legislature, to ita crcdit, authorized tbo
IMM of bonds for only two objccU ; but tho
opportunitica for thia aort of extra va^anc.
un.ler IBWI paaaed iu 1870 aud 1871 aro ainple
enough.
Aa illustrating the growing wcalth and mag
nitudo of corporationa and associutioua, it is
iutereating to noto that a dozen companies of
vaiioua kinda havo obtained leavc to incrcaao
their capltal or enlarge their buaineaa. Sev
eral charitablo and religioua aocietiea have
found it neccaaary to have their charters
nmended ao aa to allow them to hold
jiroperly far exceeding in value the
amount to which they wero orig
inally limited. On tbo other hand,
thero has been no lavish distribution of the
publie nioney among private charities and
(?ectarian eatablishmeiits, aueh aa wo have
been accustomed to witneas in previous years.
Two rapid tranait charters have been granted,
two atreet railroad extenaiona authorized, and
one atreet railroad franchiso haa been revived.
Tliis ia all that haa been aaved from tbe
wn ck in which three or four dozen schemca
of a 6imilar kind went down.
Want of spaco yeaterday compellod the ntnission
of a full report of tbo proceodings at the Sixth Dis
trict Court-bonse over the oontracta whose pay?
ment, but for TnE TainiiNE'a exposures, would
.1,,u l.t l.-ss have been ordored before this, withont con
sultation witb tho tax-payera and proporty-ownere
who havo to foot the bills for worthUss paveuienta
laid by contractore who chargod such ruinous ratea
that thoy eould pay tho bribea demanded by tbo
Ring and still make a pmlit. Fortunately souio of
the other papera which havo hcretofore uegl.-et.-.l
to exposo and tbus provrnt thia threat.-ncd swindle,
whilw devotiug wbole pages to the relation of storios
of fraud taken froiu auciout hiatones of the Brook?
lyn and Tammany Kings, found room for a fullcr
raport than wo eould givo. Thcir readcrs were,
th. rcforo, able to onjoy a wn lation of thoso distiu
Kiii-.hi?l legal luminaries, Judge Gcirgo ti. Barnard
an.l his Gi.it/. Coleuian, in a now light. It opyoara
fn>nilh- t.-.titnonyof one "Iin- ky'' Moore, at one
limedear tn tlie bnart of Tweed. that it was bal.it
eal for Ocorgo and his Gratz to stand in threatening
attitudo over the " Boes " and rompel him to award
contracts to thcir friends, tho highest biddors, to the
neglectof his own, who were the lowest biddere.
The story laeks pn.hal.ility in one respeot. Wo can

iam-1 by hii oncraies tbat he haa beea convictod of
deliberatfl ialsohood in bis repetitionof a remark
?ade t-, l.irn by Mr. stanton. We fail to aee it. It
isshown tnat Mr. Stanton dil uudoubtedly inako
lepeeted referencea to Gcn. Orant in his spoechea.
In tho convcrsation which Mr. Sumner reports Mr.
Stanton said: "I spokc, but I never intrnduccd tho
name of G, n. Grant. I spoko for tho Kepublican
party and tbo Kepublican cnuse." The most tbat
can bo charged against Mr. .Sumner is, that what be
reports Mr. Stanton ns saying on his death-bod doce
not accord with Mr. Stantou'a speochea. It ts at
least aa probable tbat the dying man's memory would
fail bim as tbat Mr. Sumuer's has, and it is porfectly
wt-U known that Mr. Stanton waa not in the habit.
in privato c.nvnrsation, of indulging in warm
culogy of Gou. Grant.

Wo in New-York are not so good as we ahouid be,
bnt really we are not ao bad as souie people think
us. Etea is The Afontreal Seict inforuiing its readcrs
ihat " every one in New-York pppears to earry a re
volvii." But New-York, it seetns, is, after all, no
worue than the reat of the eountry, for Tke _Mb_B
propouinls Ihe following grave conundrtim: " Wo
wisb tnti < (iniinoiitator on tho Constilution of the
1'iiilcd Statee wonld explain wby, nn a general rule,
every one iu the Kepublie deems it bis duty to earry
:t rnvolv-T." The bent answor which we can give to
Ihi.-i is, ihat every one in tho Kepnblio docs n't deem
it his duty to earry a revolver; or, if it is so deomed.
it is I duty which a majority of our citizeiis habitu
ally neglect.
Yarious are the nictho.ls adopted in England of
prevciiting as many deaths by Ntarvation as pos
