National Ecptibltcan AUOUST4. <»A . SATURDAY MORNING May 1«, IM* For PRESIDENT Or tur United Status: I I.VSBES -8. HKt»T, REPURLtCA vV PRESIDENTIAL CAN DIDA TES. Tbe National Convention of the Repub lican Party 'till meet in Chicago on next Wednesday, the 20th infant, for the pur pose of nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. The nomination of General Grant for the Presidency has iieea already made by the almost unanimous voice of the party, and as to that otHce the Convention will have little else to do than confirm that nomination. It is true that when the sul>- ject first la-gnn to lie agitated an important section of the party adhered to Chief Justice Chase, but his friends have yielded their predilections, and the party with an unanimity unexampled, are now centred upon General Grant, nnd his nomination may be considered certain, beyond a doubt. The contest, if there is a contest, will be concerning the nomination for the Vice Presidency. Os tin- many eminent men spoken of, Messrs. Wade, Colfax nnd Wilson seem to be the most prominent. The sole objection to either of the two first mentioned is, that l>oth are Western men, as is Grant, and a long established custom demands that the candidates lor the Presidency and Vico Presidency shall be taken from different sections of the country. This rule may be considered of lorce now, and if so. Senator Wilson will, in all probability, receive the nomination. For ourselves, wo would gladly have the nonii nee for the Vice Presidency come from the South, and it would be hard to find a more true, more patriotic, and fitter man tor the position than the lion. Joshua Hill, of our own State, but in our present anomalous condition, neither in the Union or out of it, we fear such an attempt to make such a nomination would be hopeless. Taking the tacts, therefore, that there are sectional objections to almost every other candidate fir the Vice Presidency, we think the choice of the Convention will fall upon tlie lion. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts. Whoever the choice falls upon, he must be a reliable Republican. The party lias learned this much wisdom, that when the Vice President succeeds to the Presidential Chair, whether by the assassin’s bullet or peacefully, and in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, he shall not again be one who will betray the party and the country, and prove false to all his previous professions and promises. KCKf.rX BLOWING. In speaking'of the late election in this State, the windy Athenian of the Macon Journal <{• Messenger declares that, “as soon as the people are freed from their fetters and the galling chains which now clang around their limbs, they will drive the Goths and Vandals from their land, and overturn all their idolatrous temples." If there be a class of men whom the world holds in supreme contempt more than another, it is the modern, gascon ading tribe, who, in times of peril, “roar you gently as sucking doves”; but who come forth when war lias smoothed his “wrinkled front," with great big sounding words full of froth anil fury, signifying nothing. PfcßTiNExr Qubrv. —lii the matter of Military government, our readers arc aware of the fact that we Imve urged such action as would soonest admit of the withdrawal of every soldier now in the Southern States- But ought the troops to be withdrawn while widely influential journals boast that on such withdrawal whole classes of people, guilty of no conceivable offence, would be driven from the country, or murdered il they refused to go ? That’s the question. Financial. —A short method of settling a grave and an important question is proposed by Mr. A. A. Low, formally years President of the New York Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Low says that a simple resolution, passed by both Houses ol Congress, that the live twenty bonds, none ol which are due till 1882, will be paid in coin, would do far more to establish confidence than all the gold that can by any means be heaped up in the Treasury. Reform. —A great many Reform move ments arc on the (ajax in England, and the aristocracy of that land bid fair to have their hands full shortly, and it may take some thing more than Mr. Disraeli's power, assisted by his Grace, the Bishop of Canter bury, and other dignitaries, lords spiritual and lords temporal, to keep down Reform and to conserve ancient abuses. Republican ideas are spreading. White Tickets. —The Ohio Legislature has passeo a law requiring all election tick ets to lie hereafter printed upon while paper. The regulation had been suggested by the practice of proprietors ot large factories and workshops forcing all their workmen to vote their wray by printing tickets of peculiar color, and watching their men deposit them in the box. It Uas been the practice of these gentlemen for years to promptly dis charge any and every man who did not vote to suit them, and yet they have never been arrested by the military for it.— Exchange. If our Legislature should pass a similar law, it would play the mischief with the Disunionists of Georgia, who did the same thing at the recent election. ■ A private dispatch from a trustworthy source, received at 2.16 this morning, as sure* us that two of the remaining doubtful Senators will vote for conviction, and thus rid the nation of its only obstacle to peace and prosperity. —A’. Tribune, 1 'ith in the building of yaehls an improvement is announced. Tito masts are surrounded in the “step” with India-rubber springs, instead of being fastened by wedges. This plan is said to diminish the strain on the mast, and also to increase the speed of ihe vessel. It would seem to be applicable to ail sailing traits all well as yachts. Comuißnieatad. TUE BANK HITT ACT. No honest man can avail himaalf of this act owing to the enormous eteponae attend * ing it: first, ‘seventy five dollars must be deposited to pay the clerk nnd marshal, neat from seventy five to two hundred and fifty dollars for attorney fees, Aliy honest man with that much money would feel bolter by paying a just debt than to give it to oyiers to keep him from paying. That man who is an honest bankrupt should have nothing to pay. lie just before you ure generous. Can there be no change in this matter? In justice to my own feelings I could not giv# ono dollar to any person, other than a creditor, beyond the necessities of my family, and yet I am a Baxkripi'. THE SOUTHERN TRESS ASSOCIA TION. Wo find, in the Atlaula Era, the follow ing sensible remarks relative to the meeting in this city of the “Mutual Admiration Society,” sometimes called the Southern Press Association: The organization known as the Southern Press Association, held its annual conven tion in Augusta on the 6th and 7th of the present month. This Association had, we believe, its origin during the war, and was a decided benefit to its members. Since the war it has been kept up, for mere form’s sake, without materially liencfitting any of its members. Its chief duty seems to bo to hold annual meetings, reward it3 officers with votes of thanks, have a baiupiet gotten up for the benefit ol its members when practicable, and then adjourn to some other place for the following year. It is, perhaps, well to inform our readers, that wliile*tbis Association lias a bona fide existence, the reading .public of the South is entirely dependent upon the New York Associated Press for every item of telegraphic news they get. This Southern Association is by no means an auxiliary to the New York Association. It dues not restrict, pr direct the latter, nor is the latter in any way influenced or controlled by it. It claimed one privilege, however, which was conceded by the New York Association—that of naming the Washington reporter. Farther than this the duties of the Southern Press Association are nominal (or social), while its benefits to its members are purely visionary. in tbc convocation at Augusta, there were twelve daily papers represented. Nine of these were Georgia papers, one Alabama, one Tennessee, and one South Carolina. There were no Mobile, New Orleans,‘Vicks burg, Jackson, Richmond, Lynchburg, Petersburg, Norfolk, Wilmiugton or Raleigh papers represented, yet this handful of editors went forward, bearing on their few shoulders the machinery of an organization that is presumed to cover the whole South. They did the wholo work manfully, how ever, even to the banquet and the customary votes of thanks. There were present at this meeting seven editors of daily papers who do not reside in Augusta. Several of the papers outside of Augusta were repre sented by Augusta editors. In fact, Augusta controlled the affair, and had it all its own way, which fact, perhaps, accounts for the exclusion of the Augusta Ukpcbmcan. This paper was not shut out by the voice of the Association, blit the caucus was held in the editorial rooms of a paper that is not friendly with the Reituucan ; hence it amounted to a virtual exclusion of that journal, notwithstanding it pays as heavy an assessment for its news as either of the immaculate journals of that oily which were admitted to, and, doubtless, controlled the councils; and each of which papers, if we remember correctly, and we think we do, received a bonus of live hundred dollars for admitting the Her i/ih.ican* to the benefits of the New York Associated Press, which admission jiossibly included the benefits of the Southern Press Association as well. Happily, however, the organization, after two days’ silting, a banquet, and the cus tomary vote of thanks, has adjourned to meet no more until sometime next February. Its next meeting " ill he held in Mobile. \\ <- protest that it ought to he held in Montgom ery. for flic benefit ol the unlv Alabama paper that was courteous enough to come over and be sociable; besides, it would have been more convenient for the provin cial Georgia editors who aspire to indulge io these little “mutual admiration societies.” ®lt was the Daily I’iiess that was compelled tu pay the bon>t. — the predecessor us the Kerri: Lie Ax. Amounts to tho same thing, though— Kn. The “Sharpest and Quickest’’ Yet.— We heard, yesterday, of a decis on by which the Democratic Senator elect from the Thirtieth District, composed of the counties of Madison, Oglethorpe ami Elbert, was ousted and his place given to his scalawag opponent, one Jim McWhorter. For the benefit of genii-men engaged in similar business elsewhere, hut who have not been favored, like Hulbcrl, with such special aptness for manipulating election returns to suit the wishes of their employers, we give the modus opeiandi: Mattox, Democrat, from the district afore said, was elected by a small majority— twenty, perhaps, and so the returns sent to Hulbert showed. Ilis opponent failing in all other measures to defeat the wishes of the people, and get the seat, got a lot of negroes to make an affidavit that they had voted for Gordon, while intending to vote for Bullock. This document was laid before Halbert, and upon its authority lie throws out Mattox’s majority, mid declares McWhorter elected I Comment upon the chief d’tenure of Radical rascality would be like gilding refined gold, or painting the lily, and we tncrefore make none.—Journal A Messenger. The above is not so—as we happen to know. Mattox never was elected to the Senate from the Thirtieth District, even counting the miserable abortion of an election held in Elbert county—but McWhorter was elected by the legal voters of the District, ns was abundantly proved before Colonel Hurlbcrt and the Board of military gentlemen assem bled in Atlanta. ♦♦ * A Back-Haxdkd Slap.—Brother Clisby of the Macon Telegraph —who always speaks to the point - publishes the proposition made for a State Convention by the rival Demo finite presses of Augusta, sintl then, in his iiiimitnlde sarcastic way. adds : We agree decidedly with our Augusta friends that n State Convention should bo called, if only for the purpose of organizing the party in their section of the State, a 'inly whose sad negleet has cause*l us a most mortifying defeat, and brought inexpressible humiliation upon the whole Stile. When the t all shall he issued, we hope the Augusta press will be diligent to hold up to its people the disastrous consequences of their past indifference nnd inaction; and wlmn the Convention and its duly authorized agents shall take action in future, we hope the snine press will overcome all personal objections, and give Unit action a cordial support, and not aequiese with a protest, and thus paralyze the power of Iho party and chill its spirit, aii it has done in the past. AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC , Lice as Chickens.—A Massachusetts poultry raiser gives his mode of banishing lice, thus; For a number of years past I have kept from 20 to 50 hens, and they ulbd to bo much troubled with hen lice; and though I kept rajr ben house (as 1 thought) pretty well whitewashed, at times it was orerruu, I was told if 1 made roosts of tho sassafras wood, it would surely drive the lice off. Not being able to got that kind of wood for roosts, 1 set about devising a substitute. Ono day I came across a large bed of common tansy. 1 gathered a good quantity, took it to my henhouse, ami made several nice nests. This was done in the summer of 1564. Last season 1 renewed the tansy. When the lice left 1 know not, hut this l do know, I have not seen a louse, or the sign of a hen louse about the premises tor more than a year, and I have examined the hens pretty often and thoroughly. Preserving Fugs.—The following recipe is from a work on “Game Fowls,” by Cooper & Vernon, of Media, Pa.: Dissolve some gum shellac in a sufficient quantity of alcohol to make a thin varnish, give each egg a coal, and, after they have become thoroughly dry, pack them in bran or saw dust, with their points downward, in such a manner that they cannot shift about. After you have kep*. them us long ns you desire, wash tin* varnish carefully oft’, and they will ho iu the same state as they were before packing, ready either for eating or hatching. Tho author of this work states tiiat lie has been engaged for thirty years in raising (he best of game fowls, and he has frequently imported eggs from Europe which he directed to he packed according to this recipe, and from such eggs he has raised chickens. This is certainly a very simple mode of preserving eggs, and very superior to the common method of laying them down in milk of lime. Mr. McPherson, a firmer of Parkersburg township, has brought to our office a lusus ncturtv in the shape of an egg laid by one of his Shanghai fowls. When not phveed under the direct rays of light, its color is that of the ordinary Shanghai egg, hut under a strong light, either that of the sun or of gas, it presents upon every part of its surface all the colors of the rainbow very clearly atul beautifully depicted. Mr. McP. says the only way he can account for it is upon the principle by which children arc marked through some strong impression received by the mother. Thus her pensive henship must have been romantically impressed with the sight of a rainbow. —Parkersburg Times. It is a curiou- fact that the fine particles of partially carbonized matter, which give the peculiar hazy or smoky appearance to the atmosphere of the Atlantic States, during the Indian Summer, come from a region entirely across the continent. These minute atoms, examined by the microscope, are found to belong to vegitahle organisms which are only produced ou the plains at the base of the Rocky Mountains, and the atoms are wafted hither through some wonderful mete orological agency. Avery remarkable story comes from Exeter, England, about a cab horse. The cab came into collision with a cart, and smashed it-, nnd for four hours the cab was driven about the streets. At last, when it. reached home, it was discovered that a piece of the shaft of tile broken cart, fifteen inches in length, had pierced the animal’s breast, and still lay there. It was extracted, and the horse died a short time afterwards from exhaustion, no doubt the result of the agony it had#ndurcd during the lour hours. The Newport Mercury says there may lie seen, at a liouso on Narragansett avenue, between Spring street and Bellevue avenue, a very domestic old cat fulfilling the duties of a guardian to young chicken. She hail formerly three chickens under her charge, hut two of them died, and the surviving one is cared for as tenderly as if it were a kitten. Pussy carries food to it, and when she retires for the night the chicken finds a soft bed at her side. To Keep Insects out ok Bird Gages.— lie up a little sulphur in a silk hag and suspend it in the cage. For mocking birds this is essential to their health, and the sulphur will keep all the red ants and other insects from the cages of all kinds of birds. Red ants will never be found in a closet or drawer if a small hag of sulphur be kept constantly in these places. A Good Cement.—Alum and plaster of Paris well mixed with water, and used in a liquid .Male, will form a very useful cement. It will be found quite handy for many pur poses. it forms a very hard composition, nnd for fixing the brasses, etc., on lamps, nothing could he better. Thu Chinese have a wheelbarrow in com nion use, which is an improvement on our harrow. The wheel is in the middle. It is not uncommon to sec a sail set on this wagon, and if the wind is fair, they can make six miles an hour easy. This is a hint the Yankees ought to he able to profit by. S. C. Herring, the safe manufacturer, lias a horse six years old, nineteen bands high, weighing one ton. It comes of Canadian stock, and is said to Ire tho largest horse in America. A blue horse with a buff face is exhibited in London—not by Barnum either. Air. Thomas G, Crutcher, near Shelby villc, Tenn., has a cow which has produced six calves in the last twenty six months. Five are living and doing well. *• When the Pacific Railroad is finished, the tour of the world can be made in two mouths and a half. From New York lo San Francisco will take seven days ; from San Francisco to Hong Kong, liy way of Yokokaraa, twenty days; from Hong Kong by steamer to Suez, thirty two days ; from Suez to Paris, siS days ; front Paris to New York, ten days ; in all, seventy five days, This can only bo done, however, by continu ous travelling and successful connections everywhere ; and the adveutuums voyager who undertakes lo accomplish the whole distance in the time we have mentioned, will be pretty well used up when he gets back to New York again. We advise him rather to ntnke his arrangements so that he can stop awhile at the chief points of interest on his way, such as Yokohama, Hong Kong, Manila, Bombay, Cairo, Malta, Leg horn, Marseilles, Paris, and London. This will require about twice as much lime ns he will spend in actual travelling, and ten times as much money ; but he will be well repaid for his outlay, and in after days can 101 l his children td’ the wondrous sights and strange people he saw in his famous journey around the globe. We are favored with a pamphlet ‘Rnll ol the Black Dupes and White Renegades who voted in Mobile city and county for the Menagerie Constitution for the State of Ala bama,” which is announced us “Published by order of tho Constitutional Club of Mo bile." Tbe object of this publication is unquestionably to proscribe ami persecute these voters, s i that they shall be starve I or buttled out of the State. This is an old dodge, but it seldom wins. We cite this pamphlet as no argument for tho admissitm of Alabama by Congress under this "Menag erie Constitution.’’ If seventy thousand men, nearly all poor and dependent, would brave the consequences of voting to ratify it—many of them knowing full well that they did so at the cost of their children's bread -they ought lo bn sustained and strengthened.

In tho spectacular performance ofHumpty Drnnpty, now running «t tho Olympic, a small mule is introduced, and u made to appear quite comically by tho dexterity of hiß heels. About a fortnight ago the regular animal fell ill, aud an amateur was substituted. When ono of tho characters touched the new mule to make him kick, he began in admirable style. Ilu kicked off the fellow and kicked him twice before ho touched the boards. Then be ran toward several of the others, dramatis personae, nnd kicked them. Every object on the stago, whether material or mental, lie kicked oft Next he began on the scenery. He kicked down a whole forest, three good sized cottages, a pietur esquu cascade, a granite prison, a robber’s cave, a royal palace, the Rialto, and Vesu vius in eruption, and was about to attack the “ grnna transmutation scene” from “Midsummer Night's Dream,” when a rope was thrown around his neck, aud he was dragged off by • lie whole strength of the company, assisted by nil the able bodied supernumeraries. The audience, many of whom supposed the obstreperous mule’s doings a part of the per formance, were delighted at his energy, and demanded, with deafening plaudits, a repe tit ion of the scene. The uproar was so great that the manager came out aud said that an intermission of fifteen minutes would he given to enable some of the actors to recover the breath that that d—d mule had kicked nut of them, and pledged his honor that tlje brute should never make another appearance on the Olympic stage. At this the audience roared louder than ever, and for nearly an hour tho perform ance was suspended by the universal guffaw. Every night since, the kicking mule has been called for, and the manager of the theatre has, in consequence, inserted an advertisement in the daily papers that the animal was mysteriously knocked in the head the same night of his highly successful debut. —A tic York Taper. The Democratic party, after a long resistance to the party of freedom, was at last beaten at the ballot box in the election of Lincoln, But its love of power and its devotion to human slavery was such that it drew the sword rather than yield to the decision of the people. Beaten again in war, as before at the ballot box, it has touglit hard siuce the close of the rebellion to regain possession of the Government. It has assassinated one President, and the treachery of another has given it the active aid of the Executive branch of the Govern ment. Its principles are base, and it uses the baser passions of men to accomplish its ends. Treachery has again been enlisted in its service, and this time a few Sena tors, defying the wjl! of their constituents and utterly regardless of the claims of their party or their country, are doing their worst to throw the Government again into ils hands. Its appetite for power has been sharpened by the deprivation of it which it has suffered during the last eight years. If through the perfidy of a few men it succeeds in regaining what it lias lost, it will resort to any means to retain possession. Conscious that its principles can never command the approbation of the people, it will rely lor the perpetration of its power on fraud or force, and will not relinquish it while these or any other means enable it to resist the popular will.— Washington Chronicle. Heavy Rains—Wheat Crop.—There were heavy rains iu the first half of this week, and serious apprehensions are felt as to their effect upon the wheat crop. This grain is now in a very critical condition, and too much rain—particularly if it turns oil’ hot and sultry afterward, will be likely to induce so numb rust as to nearly ruin it. Up to this time*he crop, generally, in this section of country promises well. Its fate will he decided in the next ten days. —Rome Courier. A bill has been introduced into the English House of Commons to protect the property of married women. It proposes that a woman, after her marriage, shall retain complete control over tier fortune and over her earnings, with liberty to sue and he sued ns it she were single. The suit of the widow Lyon .against Home, the Spiritualist, lor the recovery of $600,000 obtained from Her under “magnetic influ ence,” is progressing in London. The revelations made in court are curious, do noting the progress of the new ritualistic dispensation of raps, table tips, leg touches, knotted handkerchiefs and talk of dead persons. »wii_i EJLL-L_ 1 ■■ *< FOR RENT AND SALE.
