The Meeting of the Convention.
The election of Lynch, of Mississippi,
for temporary Chairman of the conven
vention. at Chicago yesterday, was a sur
prise. It is usual ta adopt the recom
mendation of the National Committee,
and the committee recommended Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas. The recommen
dation did not meet the ap
proval of those opposed to Blaine,
and they refused to acquiesce in. it.
Lynch is a colored man and stands well
with both races in his State. He contest
ed the seat of Gen. Chalmers in the Forty
seventh Congress and was successful.
There are few colored men in the country
who possess more ability. To a certain
extent the vote on the temporary chair
manship indicates the strength of
Blaine and Logan, as the sup
porters of these two candidates
voted tor Clayton. It is evident, however,
that some of the colored delegates who
voted for Lynch can be depended on to
vote for Blaine, and it may be that some
of those who supported Clayton did so be
cause they wanted to sustain the Na
tional Committee, and not because they
were Blaine men and Logan men. The
vote that Clayton received, therefore, can
not be accepted as measuring the com
bined strength ol Blaine and Logan. The
reports indicate, however, that the tide is
running strongly towards Blaine, and
that his chances are much better than
those opposed to him are willing to admit.
Arthur’s canvass does not appear to be
ably managed. Appearances, however,
may be deceitful. The first ballot will
probably take place this afternoon.
The Tariff Issue.
A few of our State contemporaries
opposed the Morrison bill. They did this
in face of the fact that nine-tenths of
Georgia’s Representatives in Congress,
and. perhaps, nine-tenths of the people of
the State, favored the bill. Cne of the
points that they made against the bill,
and which, apparently, appeared to them
to be the strongest point, was that it
provided for a horizontal reduction of the
tariff. They regarded such a method of
dealing with the tariff as unprecedented
and unjust. They evidently had not in
formed themselves respecting tariff legis
lation. One of the ablest speeches oi the
tariff debate was that of Representative
Hammond. In his speech Mr. Ham
mond said: “Some of our friends dis
prove of horizontal reduction. We have
had a horizontal reduction of 10 per cent,
in each of the years 1833, 1835,
1837, and 1830, and 20 per cent, in 1842.
We increased horizontally 20 percent,
in 1865, and a2O per cent, decrease, hori
zontally, was made in 1866. In 1872 we
reduced 10 percent.,and in 1875 increased
10 per cent., all horizontally. A horizon
tal scale is often applied to wages; why
not to taxes? It might in some instances
work unequally, but these, as well as
other instances of wrong, can be and will
be righted while the bill is under consid
eration by sections. The horizontal plan
is, therefore, usual, and it is simple.
Special cases of hardship can be better
taken care of under it than under a bill
specifying every item in the tariff lists,
because it will give more time to consider
those special instances. Such a bill be
ing shorter allows more time for other
matters of public and private importance.
And it is doubtful whether we would
have time to pass a bill in any other
simpe. We tried it last Congress, and af
ter spending weeks in its discussion, had
to take a bill originated in the Senate and
pass it in the House without its details
having even been read by the representa
tives of the people."
These same State contemporaries urged,
and still urge, the advisability of drop
ping the tariff question and of doing noth
ing with respect to the tariff until the
Democrats obtain possession of the gov
ernment. On this poiat Mr. Hammond
said: “It is not even certain that we shall
have the House in the next Congress. It
is certain that we will not have the next
Senate. But suppose we should have
both, and also the President. May our
majority not come from the protected
States? May the President not be from
one of them? Shall the large Democratic
majority in this House confess to the peo
ple that it dare not now even originate a
bill for their relief? Verily one feels like
asking the questions of Patrick Henry,
which, as school boys, we were fond of
declaiming:
“Shall we gather strength by irresolu
tion and inaction? Shall we acquire the
means of effectual resistance by lying su
pinely upon our backs and hugging the
delusive phantom ot hope until our ene
mies shall have bound us hand and foot?”
By many Mr. Hammond’s speech was
regarded as the best that was delivered
during the debate. Every Georgian who
feels an interest in the tariff question,
and it is doubtful if there is an intelligent
Georgian who does not, should send for a
copy of it and read it. It shows that the
position occupied by the Morning News,
that th? necessity for reforming the tariff
is imperative, and that it is the duty of
the Democratic party to inaugurate the
reform at once, is correct and impregna
ble. Mr. Hammond’s argument makes it
clear that a large surplus revenue is full
of danger to the country because it in
vites official corruption, encourages cor
rupt legislation and threatens the coun
try with financial disasters.
Tiie Canvass for the Nomination.
The canvass for the Republican Presi
dential nomination has in some respects
been rather remarkable. What there is
known about it has been made public by
Republican journals. The Democratic
journals have had very little to say re
specting the merits of the candidates.
Before the delegates began to gather at
Chicago the records of Blaine and Arthur,
the leading candidates, were pretty thor
oughly overhauled and everything that
was bad in them was published to the
world in the most sensational style.
Arthur was held up as a sympathizer
with the star route thieves, and the charge
was openly made that he was anxious for
Dorsey and the others to escape. Blaine’s ■
money making schemes while in Congress
were explained and commented on
iu a way to make that
eminent author and politician
wish that he had never been born. Since
the delegates began to gather at Chicago
the Republican journals have been full of
reports that both Blaine and Arthur were
spending money freely on the purchase of
delegates. If these reports are to be
credited these two candidates have done,
and are still doing, their utmost to buy
the great prize for which they are con
tending. This is certainly not a pleasant
spectacle to contemplate, and it must
raise the question in the mind of every
self-respecting Republican whether the
Republican party hasn’t outlived its use
fulness, and whether it is safe for the
country to trust it with another lease of
power. Those who buy their way to
power expect to get their money back.
The party whose leaders will offer and
accept bribes is certainly not the party to
have control of the government.
A New Trouble for Majionc.
It looks as If Mahone, Gov. Cameron,
and other Coalition leaders in Virginia,
had been guilty of practices wholly in
consistent with their professions for the
welfare of the State. A Richmond special
says that when they got control of the
State they changed the Stale de
positories. One of the banks selected
as a depository was the Planters
and Merchants Rank of Petersburg. It is
alleged that the State funds deposited in
that bank were used by the Mahone lead
ers without security. During the late
financial flurry in Wall street the bank
suspended. It is not stated whether ths
State lost anything by the suspension or
not, but it is the purpose of the
Democrats to institute proceedings
for the purpose of discovering to what ex
tent the State funds were used by the Ma
honeites through this bank. Mahone hav
ing thrown off the Readjuster disguise,
and having appeared as an out-and-out Re
publican, there will next fall be another
bitter struggle, doubtless, for the control
of the State and the State’s electoral vote.
If Mahone is beaten as a Republican bis
power in Virginia will terminate at once
and forever. It is probable that he can be
beaten as easily as Republican as be was
as a Readjuster.

Pension Bills.
Thinking people are beginning to won
der when Congress will cease to increase
the pension list. The amount that is now
annually paid out for pensions is enor
mous. It is estimated that to meet the
pension charge from $50,000,000 to $•5,000,-
000 a year will be*required for the Dext
five or six years, an<f* after that time at
least $30,000,000 a year. The present
House has reported bills, which, if passed,
will, it Is thought, take from the Treasury
$150,000,000 In the next five yearp, in ad
dition to the amount required to pay the
present pension charge. Why is it that
Congress is constantly trying to find
ways to increase the pension charge?
Is it because there is anxiety to get rid of
the surplus in the Treasury, and thus
make it impossible to reduce the present
war taxes, or is it because both parties
are trying to curry favor with
the ex-soldiers and sailors tor the
purpose of controlling their votes? The
taritf reformers certainly do not want the
expenses of the government 90 increased
as to make tariff reduction impossible,
but it is easy to see that the protectionists
would gladly adopt tbatmethod of serving
the protection monopolies. The truth is,
probably, that the bills to enlarge the pen
sion list are introduced by those who
seek to advance their political fortunes
through the favor of the ex-soldiers and
sailors, and neither party dares to raise
its voice in opposition to them for fear of
losing the soldier vote. This is certainly
a condition of affairs that calls for the
condemnation of the country. Some of the
pension bills which have been introduced
thi6 session would draw every dollar out
of the Treasury if passed. They may not get
through this Congress or the next, but they
will keep coming up doubtless until they
are passed, unless the people protest so
emphatically that their representatives
will have to heed the protest.
It cannot be said that the ex
soldiers and sailors have not been
treated liberally. No other nation has
ever shown such liberality. The ex
soldiers and sailors have been shown
every consideration. It is about time to
consider the rights of the people who
furnish the millions for pensions.

What the Great Arthur Organ Says.
Sew York Herald ( Ind.). .
The. Republican delegates at Chicago have
a grave responsibility upon them. The ten
dency of the country is undoubtedly toward
a change of parties. There is au impression
that the Republicans have ruled long enough.
\\ e should be satisfied, in conunou with the
great mass of tho voters, to see another four
rears of the wise, conservative, peaceful,
honest rule of Arthur; but if the Republican
leaders do not want that, the country will
reasonably suspect them of unpatriotic de
signs, and it will be difficult for them to dis
sipate that cloud of suspicion. AVe suspect
that the soldier candidates, one-armed or
otherwise, and the many who wanted to carry
the Union or Confederate flag, we forget
which, from Maine to Texas, are both about
played out.

the three months’ stay there, took such a lik
ing to the proprietor’s handsome dog Pietrino
that she begged it of him, and carried her
prize with her to Vienna. In less

Pietrino was back in his old quarters again,
having traveled 800 miles across strange
countries, over mountains, through
towns and villages, only to die at his master’s
feet five days after his coming home.
Recently an Irish member of the House
of Commons complained that the public notice
attached to the coronation chair in West
minster Abbey had been altered by the omis
sion of all reference to the old legend that ths
coronation stone was first used in crowning
the Irish kings, whereupon an explanation,
written by Dean Bradley, was offered. Many
years ago an inscription in Latin was attached
to it stating that the stone was the pillow on
which Jacob rested his head at Bethel, and
the legend went on to say that it was carried
from Palestine to Egypt, and thence to Spain.
Front Spain it was said to have been conveyed
to the Hill of Tara, in Ireland. In 1851, in
order to meet the convenience of the
visitors of tlie Great Exhibition, the
head guide wrote on a label a notice to
the effect Limit the stone had been
used at the coronation of the ancient Kings of
Scotland and lreland.bnt omitted all reference
to the legend relating to Jacob’s pillow, while
retaining the closing part referring to Ire
land. The laliel having become dusty and
dirty, the guide, who has considerable anti
quarian knowledge, turned it over recently,
and on the back wrote simply the historical
fact with regard to Scotland, and ignored the
legend entirely. Dean Bradley adds that geol
ogists have conclusively shown that the chair
is of Scotch limestone, and that no stone of
the kind is to he found in Palestine or Egypt.
There arc in the Maryland Building at Druid
Hill Park, Baltimore, two flying foxes, often
often wrongly styled vampires. They
really have nothing in common with
those dreaded animals. They are strict
ly vegetarians, not living on any kind
of animal food, except, perhaps, noc
turnal insects. The different species of
flying foxes, of which there are a great num
ber, are natives of the tropical portions of
Africa, Asia and Australia, and are not found
like the vampires in South America. The
flying fox is a large hat, spreading from 3 to
4 feet, usually a black color, with brown or
yellow back. They are social in their habits,
and immense numbers of them frequent cer
tain groves of tall trees in such numbers as
to make their resting places very offensive.
Such places are much more readily discerned
by the nose than by the eye. The
peculiar position during sleep hides their
form so well that they are only discovered by
accident. When asleep they are suspended
by one of their hind legs, while tlieir wings
are wrapped around them like a shawl. The
wings are so wrapped as to leave a small pas
sage for breathing, and the ears are so placed
as to catch every sound. Soon after dusk
they leave their sleeping quarters singly, but
in asteady stream. They then visit cultivated
plantations, where they do much damage by
eating bananas, plantains and similar fruits.
After satisfying their hunger they fly about
for some time in a playful mood, and towards
morning they return long before
their sleeping quarters. In captivity therl
are very fond of the same food they get wlie*
free, and also milk and bits of raw meat.

hurst visiting Eugenie,from whom lie expects
to inherit considerable money, and who stimu
lates him with the pre]>osterous prospect of
some time or other sitting on the throne of
somebody else’s fathers.
Robert H. Terrell is a bright young ne
gro who began his Boston career by being a
waiter in Memorial Hall at Cambridge, but
who was persuaded to enter Harvard College
and will graduate this year, taking one of the
6even speaking appointments.
Rev. Edward W. Bacon, of New Haven,
who is an army veteran and now is Chaplain
of the Third Connecticut Regiment, has
preached and will preach a discourse de
nouncing in severe terms the latest scheme to
stretch the pension laws, which he pronounces
an infamous swindle to take money from the
public Treasury.
“Charles Nordhoff suddenly disappeared
from his office here the other day,” says the
Washington Capital, “and before his friends
at the Capitol knew he was out of town he had
arrived with Mrs. Nordhoff in Paris, where
lie had been nailed by a cable dispatch to con
sult with Mr. James Gordon Bennett. Mr.
Nordhoff is Mr. Bennett’s principal political
adviser, and also lias charge of many of his
larger business interests in this country. For
this responsible service Mr. Nordhoff receives
the princely salary of 310,000 a year.”
.James Pays, the novelist, allows himself
hut one exercise—laughter. He never walks
when he can ride, and hates athletics of all
kinds. Of medium height, and what is called
wiry in build, Mr. Payn suggests the constitu
tion of an active physical capacity, notwith
standing his confessed indolence of body.
What is more bewildering still is that he finds
time to play whist nearly every day of his
life, and goes to bed as a rule by 10 o’clock.
Should you have the privilege of being re
ceived by him at his office, you will find him
busy with a pipe in his mouth. If you are a
friend he will get up from his desk and run
his hands over a collection of other pipes upon
his mantelpiece, with an invitation to smoke.
If you do not care for a pipe, he will find you
cigars and cigarettes.
CON V ENTION N < >TKS.
How Blaine Lost Little Khody—Gar
field’s Gliost—The Typos—Petit Lar
ceny—Building on the Booms.
Chicago, June I.—The Rhode Island
delegation will be solid lor Edmunds, out
of compliment to Senator Anthony, but
after that the vote will be firm for Ar
thur first and last, Blaine could have
had the delegation, but on the day of the
State Convention they telegraphed him
asking certain questions, lie did not
deign to answer, and hence they will give
hint no support at all.
At the Blaine headquarters this morn
ing there was a sentimental touch in the
parade of E. L. Lampson, the delegate
from.
GARFIELD’S OLD DISTRICT.
Mr. Lampson is a tall, broad-shouldered
man with a flaming red beard and droop
ing moustache. As the representative of
Garfield’s district, he urged upon his
Ohio friends the importance of indorsing
Garfield’s old friend and chief counsellor,
lie was almost the only man who men
tioned Garfield’s name, outside of the
Ohio delegation, except the vigorous ene
mies of dark horse candidates, who would
occasionally express the fervent hope that
there wonld be no Garfield business this
year.
A DELEGATION FROM TYPOGRAPHICAL
UNION NO. 6
of New York has arrived here for the pur
pose oi presenting to the convention a
protest against any recognition of White
law Iteid in the granting of any patron
age to the New York Tribune. The pro
test is based upon the allegation that Reid
broke a written contract with the Union.
They demand that the Tribune’s advocacy
of protection shall mean something more
than an assertion. The Chicago Union
and the combined trades unions of the
city are in harmony with them, and they
are supported solidly by the Knights .of
Labor. A parade and mass'meeting will
be held on Monday. The delegates de
clare they will boycott the Republican
candidate, no matter who he may be, if
their demands are not complied with..
They furnish a list of 105 trades unions
of New York, which they say are support
ing them. Fifty thousand copies of their
paper, the Boycotter, will be distributed
around the convention.
THE ARTHUR MEN WERE RELYING
upon the assistance of some of the Ed
munds men ou the second ballot, and it
was said by them that nearly all of the
Massachusetts delegation would vote
for Arthur if the nomination of Blaine
should appear to be imminent. “We
know all about that,” said a Blaine man,
and we want to keep Edmunds in the field
as long as possible.” On the other hand,
the Edmunds men generally declared
that it was their intention to stand by
their candidate to the last, and that they’
had been encouraged by reinforcements.
Senator Aldrich who is regarded as a con
trolling force in the politics of his State,
said that while the eight votes of Rhode
Island would be cast for Edmunds on the
first ballot, on the second they would be
cast for Arthur. Blaine could get none of
them.
THS EDMUNDS BOOM
sat down on a dozen hard chairs in the
narrow headquarters of the Vermont del
egation at the Palmer this afternoon.
The gathering was a strong one—a good
deal stronger than Edmunds’ vote.
George F. Hoar,|worn-faced and acidu
lous, sat on the edge of a chair, and
George William Curtis, with his graving
side-whiskers and mobile face, Ailed his
comfortably. Horace White was there
looking ten years older for the last troub
lous year of panic in Northern Pacific,
and so was Carl Bchurz, with a weazen
face and square red hoard which no years
seem to whiten.
There were others, among them Roose
velt and John D. Long. The Edmunds
group included more men equal to the
work of nominating a man on a platform,
and fewer men capable of getting votes
for him on the floor than any other group
here. The “claim” of the Edmunds boom
is for 80 votes—its real strength seems
about 60, and its workers have failed so
far in [acquiring votes or in impressing
this floating, rushing throng with the first
article of Edmunds’ creed—that Blaine
can’t carry New York.
The usual crank has turned up. At the
last convention bis name was Guiteau.
The crank of to-day is a William 8 . Froth
ingham, of Boston. He savs he has been
promised SOO,OOO in aid of his candidacy
by a merchant, and he has been hard at
work all day canvassing for votes.*
It is a fact which can be proven by a
single trial, that the flavor given to cakes,
puddings, creams and sauces by Dr.
as natural as the fruit from which they
are made. Dr. Price’s for creams, cakes,
'rtgi, are as much unlike, in delicate fla
vor and strength, the cheap extraos, as
tan possibly be imagined.
