recent spceoh of Mr. Gboksbeck, delivered tit Stoubenville, Ohio. tho 11 idiea journalists disposed of it with thi.-s brie telegram : " Hon. W. S. Groeibeck dolivored a politieal speoeh at Steubcn villu yeêtciday lio donounoed tle FourteobCh ind Fii tecneh Atnettxlmentü to the Constituton.' Mr. OiionsiiECK did no auch thing. IIi onsured the inanner in wliich these amcndmontg were forced into ti:c Coiisti tution, but conceded their yulidity, n advised against any cífort to ot febeo asido or rovoko thcm. He cldiniod tlia tho Suproiue Ct'urfc had no jurisdiction and could uni ba gat tu ruit; agains i.lii'in, nd said, w may not Uok to th " people to ooin?bino to ovorthrow thim " in sorac oüier way."

I approvo thi action of our "recent convention on this subject." - What kind of donunciation is that 'r1 Mr. Guoesbeck truly representa tlio position of the Democratie party of the Union. Tho amendments aro not now a issue. Beforo th'ir adoption opposition was legitímate, but it is not opposition to dissent froin the method adoptad tose cure their adoptian. In, tho Constitu tion the Democracy recognizo theuj binding, bnt insistthat they be eonstruof as constitutioml provisiong havo al way been construed, so as eijually to proteci national, SUto, aud individual riglits Thai i now the issue. Let the intelligon citizen mark it and study it while it is yet to-day. ■ t m m - - Tira aggregato cost oL the tour ycars o Bucn.vifAx's administrittion was $2(:i,(561,197.76, or mi average yearly cost o 138,915,249.44. This was cxcIusíto of interest and principal of the public dobt, or in other words, for the ordinary expenses of the national government. llnderstating the then population of the nation at 30,000,000 and the cost per boad for each yoar wae f2.19. During the first year of Gravt's administration, the ordinary expenses - ex cluding payraenta on account, of interes and principal of the public debt- were $190,796,355. Overstating the population at 40,000,000, the Guant administration for his first yeur cost the people, per hcad $1.76, or $2.57 por head in excess of tha Buciiaxaji administration. Wouldn't it bo well for Republio.an journalists to duvoto just a little timo tn thesu figures instead of giving so muc.l to the financial condition of Now York City? At the Illinois Republican State Convention, held at Springflold on Wednesday, Gen. J. L. Beveridge, of Chicago was nominated as candidato for member of Congress at large, tice LoQAN, protnoted to the Senatc. Eesolutions endorsing the Grant administration and commend ing it to tTie approbation of the entire country ; bgainst a continuation of political disabilities " longer than the safety of the Republic requires," meaning the perpetuation of the Republioan party in power ; in favor of adjusting the duties on importe so " as not to prejudice bul promote the interest of every soction and branch of industry," which raeans anything or nothing, incidental or direel protection, as suits placrsand aulionces in fíivor ni freo coal and salt ; and in denunciation of the New York frauds, saying nothing of Federal ofTice-holding dctaulters and ïroasury plaaderer.. Caul Schurz spoko at Nashville, on Wednesday, and of his speech the telegraph siys it " was of great length, canrlid, impartial, and well recoivod." Also that " he was emph ntic in his disipprobabion of the policy of the present, ulniinistrution, and in his frequent espressions of apprjhension of the result to our republican institutions to follow its perpetuatiou in piiwer." But as Gen. BCUTJBZ ieclared that he could not act with the Democratie party, and that all hope of leliverance centered in a new party, ho rniy as well mako up his mind to go in for Gkant, for there is no hopo in oustng him except through co-operation with the Demoeracy. The New York City irabroglio stil] continúes - in the leading dailies, and disputchrs and rumora and predictions burien the telograph, and afford a fine field for a display of taste and talent in gotting np sensation headings. To us it looks, just now, more like a personal eontost, or perhaps a contest of ring with ring than any thing else. No doubt there has been peculation and fraud and stoaliug, but the effort seoms to bo go get at n-hat is left in tho treasury rather than to punish in a legitímate way tho plunderBrs. HaRVEY Jewell, of Boston, onc of the prominent ltopublican candidates for the Massachusctts gubernatorial nomination, has withdrawn from the coutest. He thinks that to defeat Butler, which ho considera a pararaount npcessity, Boston should present an undivided front. HU withdrawal is in tho interost of Hon. A. H. Ekk, and his letter vigorously repeis the assaults made by Gen. Butler apon the legislativo andexecutivo roliey pursned duriug the last half-dozen years, Tho contest narrows, and Bult,er now has one tho less hoad to hit. The Fair at Grand Eapids last wrfi was a great succoss. Thore wiis a lurgo show in cvery departraont, and that of fruit was novor oqualod at any Fair evor huid in the State. - Tho State Fair opened at Kalamazoo on Tuesdaj'. and tha roportsspeak of it as progrcssing finely, with well-fllled dopartuients and a larg attendance. The first rcports of a Itadical victory in New Mexico were " but the baseless fnbrie of a visión." Later intellignnoe givos assurance of the elootion of Gallegas, Democratie candidato for dulogato to Con.;ress by a majority ut 2,600, being a gain of 4,-10!) in two yoar.
