UNTONTICKET. “(MOR PRESIDENT, GENERAL ULYSSES 8. GRANT. For Vice President, SCHUEEER COLPAX. Men or oun Trmes.—We have before us a volume of 575 pages, entitled “Men of our Times” by Harriet Beecher Stowe.. It contains well written sketches of the prominent public men in the country, and iswell worthy of a reading. Mrs. Stowe is an excellent judge of character, possessing a’ faculty of seeing . . men as they are and not as they ap, pear. The book contains interesting sketches of Grant and Colfax, who are now the standard bearers of the loyal men of the nation. She gives some of the qualities’ which’ fit Grant to be a rulerof men. She says: “Among them are some plain and common place virtues. Such is his unflinching adhera ence.to what he thinks right. Such is} his unconditional public and private honesty. the solicitous care with which he kept the cotton business outside of his command in the West as long as possible, . from a well founded dislike of its immense corrupting power. When at “last he had to consent to the progress of the $rade in territory taken from the _ febele, he specified that it should be “beets in the hands of honest, trusty and. undoubted Union men. He was asked to name such men. He replied, ‘I will do no such thing. If I did, it would appear in less than a week that I was a . partner of every one of these persons trading under my authority.’ Another * guch virtue is, that scrapulous official economy by which General Grant has ~<glready saved our overtaxed country five millions dollars a year, by cutting --@own the expenses of the War Department. * “He also possesses: other very noticeable qualificatious of a more special sort, and so much rarer among public men, that they must be named. even in the shortest inventory of Gen. Grant’s character. Two of these are, the broadest and most. generous justice in attributing the credit of doing well where it belongs, and remarkable wisdom in judging and selecting men. Of the former, his letter to Sherman-at the time ofhis appointment as Lieutenant General, is a good instance. * * # Of his wisdom in selecting and trasting assistants and sub-ordinates, the list of theirnames is very sufficient evidence. The proved possession of this one faculty goes very far to. prove that its posseasor is competent to govern,and where @ strong will and stainless public and private morals are added, the presumption grows very much stronger.. A gigantic power of minding his own business and holding his own tongue is even ‘@ greater wonder in General Grant than his being honest and just. An instance of his successful resistance of the most violent pumping of him for a epeech has been given ; and other such brilliant “flashes ‘of silence” as Sydney Smith would have called them, illuiminate his whole career during and since the war. : The sketch of Colfax concludes as follows: “Continuing in Congress Mr. Polfax served with effect and patriotic favor in his place, and in December; mained Speaker. In this extremely responsible, important and laborious . ii. place, h‘s official career has been openly visible to all men, while only those among whom he presides can competently a te the rare personal aid acquired which he hasso ably exercised =~the ever good temper, the exhaustless patience, the calm and prompt presence. of mind, the immense range of honest questions and uly quibbles of jaw which he must have tongue’s ead; ever the vigorous, and enduring physical frame, which enables him to set through after session, day after day, wi peireesdinnsnatsiangts This was well exemplified in . " His duties have not been in the nation so brilliant asthe deeds of our great’ prominent as the labors of some civil-~ ian officials; but they have been such as to require the greatest and most solid and useful of the civil virtues, courage, Eateorwrn _. integrity, forethought, “justice; and steady inexhaustible industry.” Such _. Vice President, and there never was a better ticket before the country.’ Both men possess in an eminent degree ex-, cellent administrative ability, and are in every way worthy of the support of ‘the people of the country. THe Nominations.=~-The following are the proceedings of the National Convention in reference to nominations. The Chairman announced that nominations were in order. Logan said: “In. the name of the loyal citizens, soldiers and sailors of this great republic, in the name of loyalty, liberty, humanity, justice, in the name of the National Union Republican party, 1-nominate as—-our ‘candidate for Chief Magistrate of this] nation, Ulysees 8. Grant,” ‘The nomination was received-with a perfect frenzy of applause and cheers. The roll of States was called, each State casting its vote solid for Grant. When Stratman cast the vote of . California, he said ten delegates had come six thousand miles to mint this vote for Grant. Six hundred and fifty votes were cast inall.~~ Nominations. for Vico President Were then in order. Virginia nominated Renates Wilson. Indiana nominated Ben. Wade. New York nominated Fenton. Maryland -hominated ex-Senator Creswell. Pennsylvania nominated Governor Curtin. lowa nominated Senator Harlan. Maine nominated Hannibal Hamlin. Kansas nominated Pomeroy. Kentacky.nominated James 8 oe The first. ballot resulted ‘as follows: Wade, 149 ; Fenton, 125; Wilson, 119; Harlan, 16; Speed 22; Creswell 14. On the bi Speed 98: Wade got 170; Fenton, 140 ; Wilson, 118 ; Colfax. 145; Curtin, 40; Hamlin, 80. California voted for Wade 5, Fenton 2, Wilson 1, Colfax 2 On the fifth ballot a break occurred in favor of Colfax, Iowa leading off, followed by Pennsylvania, others falling rapidly into line, until his nomination wa 8 made unanimous. ade’s strength had gradually increased until it become evident that the contest was between these two. The Convention, after this, very soon adjourned)» Wisconsin Minz.—This ledge, says the National, situated on Wisconsin Flat, and mostly owned by Grass Valley men, has been leased to a party of ten miners, who agree to pay the company 80 per cent. of the net profits. The 870 feet, and the rock has yielded handsomely, while the sulphurets have turn. ed out better than was anticipated. In the bottom of the shaft a beautiful,well . defined ledge, two feet in thickness is to be seen. From 200 loads of rock crushed at one of the custom mills,near that place, 900 ounces of amalgam was obtained, which is worth about $7 per ounce, quuktlon of suffrage in all ‘loyal States properly be’ ongs to the people of those The resolution leaves the question of . ¢ suifcage out of the contest and to the several States, and every loyal man in the country can indorse this even though he opposes negro suffrage. The platform also justifies the impeachment of the President ; deplores the murder of Lincoln; favots tion of naturalized citizens ; denounces all forms of repudiation, ‘and favors equalization of taxes and an extension of time for ee of the national a & and .upon such principles, debt.
