TiE TEI.'GRAM SENT BY GENEAL,
Bradley T. Johnson in 1876 to the
Richmond Statc, and republished this
morning, is very valuable as relating
to the controversy between Senator
H1ampton and General Gary. As con
teiporalneou's testimiioniy it t.o our
mind very effectually dispels the
clarge that Governor I llamiiptoni was

the contrary lie stuck to Tilden when
his owin seat was ieopordized therebv.

Parson Felton and Mr. Speer. But
lie is head and shoulders above them
all in his fidelity to his party anld his

any nmre pure or self'-sacrilling or

The First Gun For Grant.
The Pennsylvania Rtepulblicanl Con

cording to pr'ograumme, andi, accord in g
also to prIogrammne, elected ai solid
delegationm ple'dged to supp)lort the
-hnominiat ion of Grant, anid to v'ote as a
unit on aill queistionsB. Doni Camecron
hans trmiumiphied again, hbut after a harlid
fought fight. The Blaine mn r'allied
in force. A resoltin protesting
algainist a third ter'm was voted dowvn
atll heted larguimlent. A mlotionl to
insert Blainme's inihe fov that of' Grant
wvas defe'ated by' a vote of 154 to 95,
but the Grant resolutionm passed by thle
comparmatively close vote of' 133 to 113.
Thus Grant secures 27 v'otes out of thle
185 reCquired~ to niomhmiite, bult lie has
sunik to the low level of a squabble for
the noina~i~tlin. It Is expected that
Ne w York with hmer 35 votes will ini a

the boom will iiirly beginl. Shleramn

will suc'eck is ver'y doulbt ful. They'
wvill nevertheless bring about a very
un iseem~ly scrlambllle for thle doughty

D~emocrat Ic party andl a powverfulI Re
p~ublican inrility oppIosed to him,
Grant may lndleed become thme Presl

Geiei-al Gary quotes from his

therefore, personally hostile, though
lie has been provoked w'hen Seiator

General Gary claims also to have t
