The Presidential Nomination. On the seventh ballot of , the Cin cinnati Convention, Governor Ruth erford B. IFhyes of Ohio was nom inated by the Republican party for the Presidency of the United States. His victory was a complete surprise O to the entire country. -For -weeks prior to the convention it-was esti mated by the" politicians of both iar ties that "Blaine" bad already enough pledged delegates to secure hi sue cestC ' It is undeniable that the latter gentleman cariiedaii enthusiasm with him to the convention hardly less potent than the national feeling that for a second time mado Abraham Tjincoln the Presidential nominee of the Republican party. So positive were the Democrats that the "Prince of Parliamentarians" would receive the nomination that their fight has been only against him, to the utter forgetfulness of such an apparently lessev light as Hayes. The Demo cratic press has been storing thunder for months past, with the assured Cintention of hurling the bolts at Blaine as Presidential candidate, when lo! by an unintended ruse de guerre a comparatively "unknown" is "sprung" upon the people, and the'" Democracy forced to hunt for other amunition and new accusations. The nomination of Hayes is but a repetition of au old story. With perhaps two exceptions, and they of a nature readily explained, the candidato for the Presidency who goes into 'convention with the great est number of delegates and the most popular enthusiasm, i3 invariably beaten for the nomination. Lincoln was tho Great Unknown when first nominated; his strength in the con vention being scarcely greater than Ilayes's in Cincinnati. The disap pointed aspirants, the Mortons, the Conklings and Bristows of national conventions, fearing always the popular candidate, join forces to defeat him, lest his strength be too great and they bo forgotten in the o distribution of Presidential rewards. To the fact of not being prominent Hayes owes his nomination by the Republican party. It is true that Mr. Ilayes's success did not create that enthusiasm among Republican voters that would have resulted from the nomination of Jas. G. Blaine, but wo truly think him a stronger candidate to place before tho people. Mr. Hayes is an old Ohio Republican statesman, having defeated that trio of Ohio Democratic 0 giants, Thurman, Pendleton and Al len, in separate campaigns a fact which speaks volumes in his favor and gives testimony to his popularity in his own State. Concerning Mr. Wheeler of Xew York, nominated for the Vice Presi dency, we know very little indeed. We know that he has been for some time a member of Congress from New York, and is spoken of by the X.-T. Times as "possessing states manship worthy of the noblest era of our history and tho highest stan dard of our public life." If we mis take not, Mr. Wheeler was the chair man of the committee sent to Louisi ana to investigate the troubles of the double Legislature there, and in his report gave perfect satisfaction to both Democrats aud Republicans. It is a good ticket, and, as tho X. Y. Herald says, "it will poll the party strength." Tho Republicans and Chinese. We are prepared to treat both po litical organizations with fairness, giving to CVsar what is justly his, but cannot help feeling that the Democratic party is acting a very falscfpart when it pretends to be the tonly champion of the white laborer and that it is entirely owing to Re publican efforts that the Chincso immigration to this coast is kept up. The interests of tho Republican and Democrat, as individuals, man to man, on this coast are identical, aud it is the height of absurdity to say that Republicans are in favor of im porting what is just as much a curse to them as their political opiionents, the Democrats. The laws passed in California for the purpose of making that State disagreeable to the Mon golians have "been recently decided in Washington to bo unconstitutional and void. Consequently we have to look to tho national law makers for relief, our Legislatures being but puppets. In casting our eyes toward Washington, what do we see? Are the Democratic Senators in any way distinguishing themselves by hostile ity to tho heathen? Without mean ing to epeak disparagingly, Senator Kelly is the only Democratic Senator from this coast, and to tho best of our knowledge and belief -lias never onco raised his voico against Coolie immigration, seemingly confining his entire time and attention to the ardu ous task of warming a Senatorial chair. On tho other hand what have Sargent from California and Mitchell from this State been doing? Scarcely a day passes bui one or the other of them does not strike socio blow in the cause of a modification of tho Bnrlingamo treaty. Each of these Senators has made a long and thor ough speech against tho Chinese curse, and is constantly at work with I the aim of ultimately bringing about some change satisfactory to the peo ple on the Pacific coast. .- ly.-: a haudsojne vote at the recent Cincinnati Convention, the Republi can party decided to "inquire into the effects of the Mongolian on moral and political grounds." This plank, being opposed by Pierce of Massa hcusetts, Jones of Nevada and Axtell of New Mexico, lost no time in dem onstrating in sound speeches how thoroughly is the heart of the Pacific const, - Republican--opposed - to any conservativeism or half-way measures on this vitil subject. We do not say tl.at the entire Republican party is opposed to the importation of Coolies, for many in the East, from very dis tance, are disinterested and indiffer ent and the same may truly be said of the Democrats, but wo do insist that the Republicans of this coast, if not more active, are equally so with tho Democrats in their efforts to place barriers before the Mongolian influx, j and it is a piece of rank injustice for the Democrats to take all the credit to themselves whn the Republicans aro working just as hard and are just as much opposed to the Coolio traffic as the oldest JefFersonian in the State. The 3iarssiiy Editor ExTrnrmsz: In a com munication published in tho last issue of the Enterprise, headed "A Councilman on the War path, "in an swer to an article which appeared a few weeks since in tho Portland Standard, tho writer says that I was Dot approached and threatened by two of the Councilmen of this city, and that in my capacity as Marshal I disregarded tho sale of whisky on election day. In answer to tho first statement, I will say that two of our Councilmen did approach me and give me to un derstandthat by working for the Democratic candidate for State Sen ator I was endangering my best in terests, plainby intimating that my office as nightwatchman depended on my course during that election; and should those Councilmen desire to see their names in print, I shall be most happy to sendj them to tho Enterprise for publication. In reply to the second accusation, I have to say in my defense, that it is not the duty of the Marshal to go about hunting for transgressors of the law. My duty being to arrest all wrong-doers known to me person ally or on complaint of third parties. A man who had been engaged by one of the Councilmen in question to discover if liquor was sold on election day informed me that a certain saloon in town was hospitably disposed and that tho ardent was being dealt out. I asked him to make out a complaint that I might immediately make tho arrest; but he demurred, and acted as if anxious to first hold a consulta tion with the Councilman employer. Later in the day this individual came to me and expressed his willingness to make the necessary charges. I immediately accompanied him to the Recorder's office, and found that tho Recorder did not have jurisdiction, and then and there, of course, I be came powerless, and the matter was dropped. If this was being derelict in my official conduct, then I am unable to interpret the City Ordinances or to understand the duties of a Marshal. Granting, however, for the moment, that I did fail to enforce the law, irlt did tho Council discharge me as nightwatchman for Ip.x conduct as City Marshal? That they had the power to dismiss me, I freely admit, but that my discharge was just, 1 shall never cease to deny. John Hansen, Citv Marshal. Tho rioneers met in annual con clave at Salem on tho loth, and their festivities extended over until the evening of the ICth. We are glad to know that the brave spirits who en tered this goodly land in the days when it tried men's souls to peril the privations and dangers of the jour ney, now sit down together in annual conclave, and recount their struggles and triumphs, and make their chil dren acquainted with the valor of their action, that the same spirit may be emulated in them. The pioneers are growing old, and one by one are missing from the living muster roll, as they are gathered to tho bivouac of the dead. Honor the old pioneers, and when they lie in cold obstruc tion, let not oblivion enfold them, but recount them as jn-iceloss jewels in the casket of memory, who helped to emblazon one more star on the field of blue, the brightest, the fair est and the best of the galaxy, Ore gon. But a short time aud it will be said of them "How some they have died, and some they have left vis, And some aro taken from us ; all are departed ; All, all are gone, the old familiar faces." Tho Tribune's Washington corres pondent draws a startling picture of what may be the result if the Ap propriation Bill is not finally passed by both houses in less than ten days. The features are that our Ministers and Consuls abroad will be recalled, the Army annihilated and the Postal service stopped. Experienced persons estimate that the surplus crop for shipment in Walla Walla valley this year will be equal to 1,000,000 bushels. Evident ly there will be work for the railroad and all the teams in the country. Last year hop roots sold in the EcfstforSS per bushel; this season for 35 cents. There are SO orphans in the House of Providne at Yanoonver. The Cincinnati Contention. j The Cincinnati Convention met on i the 14th General Morgan calling the convention to order and, Rev: Dr. I "Miller delivering the opening prayer. Theo. M. Pomeioy, of New York, an old convention president, was nom inated for temporary chairman. Speeches were then made by es-Gov. Noyes, Gen. Logan, Fred. Douglas and Gen. Hawley. The permanent chairman-: was then . balloted for, which resulted. in the election of Edward McPherson, of Washington. The committees on resolutionscre dentials, ,etc, were then elected. On the 15th, it was the order of business to make nominations for the Presi dency. The several presenters of names for the consideration of the convention prefaced their motions with laudatory remarks on their nominees. Postmaster-General Jew ell was nominated by Kellogg, of Cincinnati; Thompson, of Indiana, presented the name of Oliver P. Morton, Pinchback, of Louisiana, seconding tho motion; Gen. Harlaw, of Kentucky, amidst much enthusi asm, presented tho name of Benjamin II. Bristow, Judge Poland, of Ver mont, seconding the motion; Richard II. Dane, of Massachusetts, also sec onded for Bristow. Ingersoll, of Illinois, presented the name of James G. Blaine amidst much cheering, seconded by Turner, of Georgia, and Frye, of Maine; Woodford, of New York, nominated Roscoo Conkling; Noyes, of Ohio, presented the name of Governor Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio; Bartholomew presented the name of Governor Ilartranft, of Penn sylvania. The following platform was then presented by Gen. Hawley: Mr. President You must bo aware that your committee on resolutions upon assembling, found itself consti tuted of men of somewhat differing sentiments and widely separated lo calities, and mostly strangers to cacli other. We have in general agreed upon the sentiments wo are about to 2resent to you, and respectfully sub mit it for your consideration, and for your amendment if you choose. It is as follows: When in the economy of Provi dence this land was to be purged of human slavery, and when the strength of the government of the people, for the peoido was to be demonstrated, the Republican party came into pow er. Its deeds have passed into his tory, and wo look back to them with pride. Incited by their memories and high aims for the good of our country and mankind, aud looking to the future with unfaltering cour age, hope and purpose, we the repre sentatives of the Republican party in National Convention assembled make the following declaration of principles: 1. The United States of America is a nation, not a league. By tho com bined working of the National and State governments under their re spective constitutions the rights of everv citizen aro secured at home and protected abroad, and tho com mon welfare promoted. 2. The Republics party has pre served those governments to their hundredth anniversary of tho nation's birth, and they are now embodiments of tho great truths spoken at its cra dle, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Cre ator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that for tho at tainment of these ends governments have been instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the government until these truths are cheerfully obeed. or, if needed, to bo vigorously enforced, the work of tho Republican party is unfinished. . The permanent pacification of the southern section of the Union, and tho complete protection of its citizens in tho free enjoyment of all their rights, are duties to which tho Republican party stands sacredly pledged. Applause. The power to provide for the enforcement of the principle embodied in the recent constitutional amendments is vested by these amendments in the Congress of the United States; and all declare it to be the solemn obligation of leg islative and executive departments of the government to put into immedi ate and vigorous exercise all its con stitutional powers for removing any just causes of discontent on the part of any class and for securing to every American citizen complete liberty and exact equality in tho exercise of his civil, political and public rights. Applause. To this end we imper atively demand a Congress and a Chief "Executive whoso courage and fidelity to those duties shall not fal ter until these results shall be placed bevoud dispute or recall. Applause. In'the first act of Congress signed by President Grant, tho National gov ernment sought to remove any doubt of its duty to discharge all just obli gations to public creditors and sol emnly pledged its faith to make pro vision at the earliest possible period for the redemption of U. S. notes in coin. Applause. Commercial pros perity, public morals and national credit ' demand that this promise be fulfilled by a continuous and steady progress toward specie paj-ments. Loud and long continued applause. Under tho Constitution the Presi dent and heads of departments aro to make nominations for office, tho Senate is to adviso and to consent to the appointments, and the House of Representatives is to accuse and pros ecute faithless officers. The best in terests of the public service demana that these distinctions be respected; that Senators and Representatives who may bo judges and accusers should not dictate appointments to offices. Tho invariable rule for ap pointments should have reference to the honesty, fidelity and capacity of the appointees, giving to the party in power those places where the har mony and vigor of the administration requires its policy to be represented; but permitting all others to bo filled by persons selected with sole refer ence to the efficiency of the public service and the right of all citizens to share in the honor of rendering faithful service to their country. G. We rejoice at the quickened conscience of the people concerning COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA ' BERKELEY. naT.TcriDrTT. ' political affairs, and we will hold all public officers to a rigid responsibil ity and engage that the prosecution and punishment of all who betray official trusts shall be speedy, thorough and unsparing. (Cheers). 7 The public school system of the several States is the.bulwork of the American Republic; and .with a view to its security and permanence, we recommend an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, forbidding the application of any public funds, or. property, for : the benefit of any schools, or institutions, under sectarian control. " Great cheering, continuing for , several minutes. In response to repeated call", Gen. Hawley read this plank a second time, and the delegates and audience repeated their cheers. 8. The revenue necessary for meeting current expenditures and the obligation of the public debt must be largely derived from duties on importations, which, so far as possible, should be adjusted so as to promote the interests of American labor and advance the prosperity of the whole country. 9. We reaffirm our opposition to further grants of the public lands to corporations and monopolies, and demand that the national domain bo devoted to free homes for the people. 10. It is the imperative duty of the government so to modify exis ting treaties with European govern ments that the same protection shall be afforded to the adopted American. citizens that is given to tho native born; that all necessary laws should be passed to protect immigrants in tho absence of power in the States for that purpose. 11. It is tho immediate duty of Congress to fully investigate the effect of tho immigration anil impor tation of Mongolians upon tho mor als and material interests of tho country. Applause. 12. The ltejmblican party recog nize with approval the substantial advance made towards the establish ment of equal rights for women by many important amendments affec ted by Republican legislatures, in tho laws which concern tho personal and property relations of wives, mothers and widows; by the ap pointment and election of women to the superintendoncy of education, charities and other trusts. The honest demands of this class of citizens for additional rights and privileges and immuni ties should be treated with respect ful consideration. Applause. 13. The Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories of tho United States for their government, and in the ex ercise of tho power it is the right and duty of Congress to prohibit and extirpate in the Territories that relic of barbarism, polygamy; and we demand such legislation as shall secure this end and the supremacy of American institutions in all their Territories. 14. Tho pledges which tho na tion has given to our soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled. The grate ful people will alwavs hold those who periled their lives for their J country's preservation in t lie kindest j remembrance. !.". We .sincerely deprecate all sectional feeling and tendencies. We, therefore, note with deep solic itude that tho Democratic party counts as its chief hope of success upon the electoral voto of a united South, secured through tho efforts of those who were recently arrayed against tho nation, and we invoke the earnest attention of the country to tho grave truth that a success thus achieved would ro-open section al strife and imperil the national honor and human rights. 16. We charge the Democratic party as being the same in character and spirit as when it sympathized with treason; with making its con trol of the House of Representatives the triumph and tho o)portunity of the nation's recent foes; with reasserting ami applauding in the national capitol the .sentiments of an unrepentd rebellion ; with send ing Union soldiers to the wall and promoting the confederate soldiersto front; with deliberately proposing to repudiate tho plighted faith of tho government, with being equally false and imbecile; with' overshad owing tho ends of jnstico by its par tisan mismanagement and obstruc tion of investigation and with prov ing itself through the period of its ascendency in the lower house of Congress utterly incompetent to ad minister the government. We warn the country against trusting a par ty thus alike unworthy, recreant and incapable. 17. Tho national administration merits commendation for its honora ble work in the management of do mestic and foreign affairs, and Presi dent Grant deserves the continued and hearty gratitude of tho Ameri can people for his patriotism and his immense service in war and in peace. After speeches by Messrs. Pierce of Massachusetts, Axtell of New Mexico, Senator Jones on the Chi nese question, by Tarbox on tho Central Pacific Railroad, by Hooker on general politics and carpet-bagging in the South, by Frcse on the admission of New Mexico, and by Lawrence of Ohio on tho Hallet Kil bourn habeas corpus case, the ballot ing commenced.

Hayes, Columbus Ohio: I congratulate 3-011 and feel the great est assurance that you will occupy my present position from tho 4th of March next. U. S. Grant. Hon. Wm.

I am greatly gratified at the nomination of Gov. Hayes. I feel sure of vic tory and a clear and pure adminis tration. B. II. Bristow. Columbus, June 17. Shortly af ter the result of the 7th ballot was announced, tho following telegram was received; To Gov. Hayes, Col umbus I offer you my sincerest congratulations on your nomination. It will be alike my private pleasure, as well as political, to do the utmost in my power to promote your elec tion. The earliest moments of my ! returniug health will be devoted to j securing yon as large a vote in Maine as she would have given for mj-self. (Signed) Jas G. Blaine. Gov. Hayes replied: Columbus, Juno 1G. Hon. J'. G. Blaine, Washington: Your kind dispatch has touched mo most deep ly, and I hardly know how to res pond in fitting terms. Tho assur ance of your help and support nerves me for the contest upon which we are about entering. With your re turning health and strength, I see an omen of Republican success. I trust that all trace of your recent illness will speedily disappear, and that you may speedily bo restored to your family and country. I send you my first dispatch since tho nomination. (Signed) R. B. IIayus. Washington, June 17. Secretary Bristow, in a letter to the President, written this morning, formally ten ders his resignation of the office of Secretary of the Treasury, to take effect Tuesday next, 20th "inst. The resignation has been accepted. The reasons assigned for his retirements aro the same that have been already stated. The Senate appropriation commit tee yesterday voted to recommend, and the Senato will undoubtedly agree, to increase the item contained in the House Indian appropriation bill for incidental expenses of Indian service as follows: For California, from 83,000 to 00.000; Arizona, to 20,000 to 05,000; Oregon 10,000 to 65.000; Washington, 5.000 to 25.0-00; Idaho, 3,000 to 10,000; Montana, 50.000 to 20,000; New Mexico, 15,000 to 40,000. These increased amounts contemplate not j only a more liberal provision for j miscellaneous expenses, but al-.o j cover the pay of employes under the S present system which the House j proposed to abrogate by turning , over tho whole management to tho War Department, and by requiring the work to be done by soldiers and employes of the army. The Sonato i committee will insert the customary appropriations for pay of agents aud interpreters, and increase tho item for Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico from 400,000 to'.450,000. The House provision that any person ob taining certificate of good character from a U. S. judge should be grant ed license to trade with the Indians, is entirely stricken out by tho Sen ate committee, and is not likely to become a law. Nkw York, .Tune 17. In a formal meeting of the Democratic aldermen and their clerks, held at their rooms yesterday, to consider the propriety of going to lit. Louis in a body, it transpired that all tho alderman ex cept Lewis and Lysaght are to pro ceed thero and work against Tilden. Two Democratic clerks will accom pany them. The departure of these gentlemen will leave the board of al dermen without a quorum. The Tribune says editorially: Tho outlook at St. Louis shows that Til den will have 1G2 of i5G'.) votes. He will need half as many more to se cure tho nomination; but there are 48 votes classed as unknown, and 35, besides, of delegates not yet elected and it isarathercuriousV-ircunistanco that these undetermined votes, if cast for Tilden, would just give him a two-thirds majority in the conven tion. Washington', Jnne 19. Bristow's place has not been congenial to him for tho past year. While thero was no break in personal relations be tween him and the President, there has been for a long time a mutual reseive and undefined feeling of dis comfort when together. Tho Presi dent will be quite as good as' his word, and if the Democrats continue in their obstinate course the entire machinery of the government will probably bo suspended on July the 1st. As tho situation looks now it is not possible for the House to pass tho appropriation bills before the end of the fiscal j'ear. It is believed that other important changes will follow the retirement of Bristow, though this may, in a meas ure, depend on who tho new incum bent shall be. Treasurer Xew will certainly retire by the end of the fiscal year. Assistant Treasurer Wyman might possibly succeed Xew, he having been favorably mentioned to the president. Xrcw Yokk, June 18. A Herald special from Sidney, Nebraska, dat ed June 17th, says the Indians killed forty men on Thursday, the 15th, at a point sixty miles south of that place. They belonged to Colorado. Over one hundred men have been killed in this section within one week. The Indians belonged to Cheyenne Agency, Indian Territory. Malone, Xew York, the home of Wheeler, was brilliantly illuminated last night, while bells were rung and cannon fired in other towns and cit ies. Throhghout the States Repub licans showed their satisfaction with the ticket by the tiring of gnns.
