Tne Cincinnati Convention-Ita Flat?
form.
The committee of arrangements for
the convention, which ?B to meet in
Cincinnati on the first of Hay.Jiave
issued a oiroular announcing the con?
vention, and calling upon the people to
sustain it, as representing the following
political principles: The constitution aa
it is, oivil eervioo reform, a tariff for
revenue only, general amnesty for past
political offences, and local self-govern?
ment. Assuming that the call is a genu?
ine and authoritative publication, it ia
safe to pr?same that the principies it
enunciates have been settled upon by
the conounent judgment of the leading
spirits of tho movement, Gratz Brown,
Sumner, Greeley, Schurz and Trumbull,
and that they indicate, with a reasonable
certainty, even if they do not precisely
set'forth, what will be the nature and
{?cope of the platform which the eon
- vention will adopt, and upon which the
liberal Republican candidates will lay
their claims to tho suffrages of tho peo?
ple. "The constitution as it is," which
means the constitution with tho four?
teenth and fifteenth amendments, con?
ferring equal oivil and political privi?
leges upon the colored people of the
country, wo take it, is Mr. Sumner's
particular plank-a sine qua non with
him-a condition precedent to his
taking any part in the movement. But
this is a point npon whioh, at thia day,
at least, not even the staunchest old
line Demooratp will differ with Mr. Sum?
ner.
As to tho balance, tko National Demo?
cratic Convention itself will be unable
better to embody the views and desires
of the conservative elements than ia
hero done. The Grant Wing of the Re?
publican party-or, in other words, the
office-holders and jobbers-will, doubt?
less, make loud professions of the ne?
cessity for civil aorvioQ reform, and an?
nounce it in the platform of tho Phila?
delphia Convention as one of their chief;
aims; but the people will fudge them by;
their works in the past, rather' than by
their specious promises of futhre amend?
ment. They have had a trial, and the
swindles in the New York Custom House,
and in the Navy and the War Depart?
ments, and the unprecedented cost and
profligacy of the Government in every
respect, shows what may be expected of
the Grantites in tho way of economy.
The Grant .faction, will, moreover, not
dare to make a square issue upon the
question of local self-government.
Though they have never scrupled to
over-ride the rights of the States to effect
party ends, they are fully aware that the
specific declaration of any intention in
that direotion would meet with a storm
of denunciation from the masses of the
people, to whatever politioal party they
may huve heretofore been attaohed.
Perhaps tho only issue that will be
acknowledged by the Philadelphia Re?
publicans, thu only proposition which
will be emphatically advanced on the one
tilde, and clearly und unequivocally de?
nied on the other, will bo that of reduc?
ing thu tariff to a strictly revenue basis.
There ia a real substantial difference of
opinion on this point among the people.
We did not expeot, on aooount of Mr.
Greeley's connection with the liberal
Republican movement, and his well
kuown devotion to a protective tariff, to
find the Cincinnati Convention so direct
and outspoken in its advocacy of virtual
free trade. It was presumable that, in
deference to Mr. Greeley, and with a
view to harmony and conciliation, tho
tariff would have been left in the back?
ground for the protont, and tho struggle
mude Bolely against congressional usur?
pation and Grant's despotio proclivities.
But if tho liberal Republicans can
agree to strike for a redaction of the
tariff, it certainly is not the part of the
Democracy to object. The South, from
time immemorial, has been bitterly op?
posed to a protective tariff. It hos al?
ways been our ohief complaint against
the General Government, as evinoing
unjust and intolerable discrimination in
favor of the manufacturer, as opposed
to other industrial pursuits, and being
altogether an agricultural people, we
were a unit against it. We have now a
mighty ally in the struggle against the
No n England manufacturer. The great
Wost, like the South, is injured by tho
tariff levied solely for the benefit of a
few wealthy New Englanders, and sooner
or later the oombined strongth of the
two sections and tho innate justice of
their cause must prevail. This matter
of the tariff is, at least, a fair, simple
and intelligible issue, und we shall bo
glad to have it made.

TH? Election To-day.
We have, done all wi thiu the soo po of
oar humble endeavors', to' Aro uso tho peo?
ple to a sense of the importance of a re?
form in per city government, and to aid
in the election o? efUoiqnt and reliable
men to effect the muoh desired reform.
We shall have tbe comforting conscious
noes, in common with the good people
who have heartily joined in the work,
that we baye done on r du ty,.'no matter
what the .result moy be. If what we
hear be true, it is nut every-oitizon in
our city that can say tho same for him?
self. We learn tbut there are a large
number of white votora who have shame?
fully neglected to register, an .he pro?
bability is that their inertness and Gri?
minal indifference wiil throw tho city
into the hands o? those from whom,
taught by experience and common sense
em well, wo can expect nothing but loss
and ultimately ruin. It is alarming no
less, (han provoking ip not?: tbi?> utter
want of public spirit on tho part of'mon

Th? uneducated and inexperienced
colored man, who unwittingly sooxifices

bas no knowledge of. governmental af?

cated and intelligent white man, who, in
au emergency like this, when he dearly
sees that tbe whole material interesta of
the city are jeopardized, will not give
five minutes of his time to an effort to
save himself and his noighbors from the
threatening danger? Suoh people are
but little less culpable than the corrupt:
demagogues themselves. We by no
means, however, despair of the election.
Let every mau who bas registered, re?
cord his vote to-day, and we will crrry
some of tho wards, at least. A largo

AN EMDAJUIABSINO SITUATION.-An ox
ohangeiuformsns that the oldjphilopouu
trick has been revived again in Alabama,
where "the young lady takes a double
almond in her teeth and the young man
bites it off." That sort of thing used to
.be popular in Doylestown, Po. ; but it is
hardly ever tried any. more; sinoe the
painful accident : which occurred at a
.philopona party last wiuter. The lady
who held the almond between ber teeth
wastfiomewhat advanced in years and uot
a little dilapidated. Tho almond was
uncommonly tough, and tbe man who
nibbled Was in deadly earnest. He
closed, his teeth on it and pulled. It
would not give. He pulled border, but
made mo impression. He clinched his
jaw%upon it and gave u desperate wrench.
It is unpleasant to relate what followed;
but, as truth crushed to earth will cer?
tainly rise again anyhow, whether we
try *o keep her down or not, wo may bo
pardoned for saying that, as a conse?
quence of tho violent efforts of the
young man, be found himself standing
up in that room, holding in.his mouth a
nut, in which were fixed a doublo set of
porcelain teeth, belonging to the alore
said maiden. It was embarrassing in a
certain sense for all parties; the young
man thought it would ho soothing to tho
feelings of the compnny it he weut
home. Other and less perilous gomes
are in vogue at Doylestowu this year.
A VALUADLE DIAMOND FOUND IN A
SHAVING BKUSU.-About eighteen years
ago, two gentlemen of this city-well
known in the mercantile circles-pur?
chased two shaving brushes from tho
drug house of Plumb & Lcituor. Thc
brushes were of the ordinary kind, aud
oost, wo suppose, about tiffy cents each.
The brushes were kept at tho barber
shops and at the homes of tho purchasers
until about two years ago, when they
seemed worn out, and woro used by lbs
children as plaything?. Ono of th?
brushes was lost, but a fow days ngo a
singular discovery was made iu relation
to the other; while a little boy was play?
ing with it the top beoame unsorowed,
and in tho hollow handle n valuable dia?
mond was discovered, set in the wood
and carefully covered with pink cotton.
There aro many conjectures as to how
the gem came to bo in tho handle of tho
brush, the most plausible of which is
that it was placed there by smugglers.
Before tho war, some importer of pre?
cious stones, who wished to evade the
heavy import duty on suoh articles,
placed thom in shaving brushes, and in
this way'brought them under tho nose of
the oustom bouso officers without creat?
ing the suspicions of the latter. After?
wards, the enterprising jeweller forgot
to remove some of tho jowels, and thu
brushes went into the bands of tho drug?
gists.-Augusta Chronicle.

objects and tho promotion uf tho general
welfare.
Tbis convention has been culled for
tho 1st of May, because it hus been
thought that by the terms of the call of
tho convention of liberal Republicans,
only Republicans were invited. While
the groat objects to bc attained of both
tho ro-uinion and reform organization
and that of the liberal Republiouus are
similar, yet one of the chief and especial
aimS of the organization for re-union
and reform ia to unite members of all
parties, and from all sections of the
country, in thu- support of those princi?
ples so vital to tho welfare of tho peo?
ple.
The purpose of this oircular is to set
the above facts clearly before tboso who
desire to come to tbo convention, and to
inform them that a committee of ar?
rangements, with authority to act for
both conventions, has been appointod,
whose duty it is, among other things,
to facilitate the transportation of those
coming to the convention, und to uosiut
them to And accommodations which ure
in every way ample while here.
It may be stated that arrangements
have already boen made with some of
tho railroads, and probably will bo with
all, by which persouH paying full fare to
the convention will receive, through the
Committee of Arrangement?, free pas?
sage to their homes.
Any information concerning these con?

principles, whioh wo deem vital to the

adopt when a permanent organization
has been effected:
1. The only legitimate purpose of a
tariff is to provide necessary revenue.
2. The support of tho Constitutum, us
amondod, and thu protection of tho
rights of every citizen under it.

ration of fraternal feelings and relations !
among the people of the different States. I
.1. A stoutly return to gold and silver
as the only sound and safe basis of cur?
rencies.

ness, whenever or by \yhomsocver com?
mitted.
9. Aud that as our country progresses,
tho General Government should more
and more, within the limits of tho Con?
stitution, bo confined to that which is

their labors to all end on tho 17th of
