Let there be bu t one motive governing our action, and let that be a determination to place in nomination the strongest possible candidates--men strong in themselves, men strong in the confidence and affections of the people, and men who will command the respect of the civil­ ized world. Our country, of which we are justly proud, has grown so rapidly in population, wealth and influence during the existence of the Re­ publican party that we have attained a position as one of the leading powers of the world; and we can no longer be satisfied with our isolation. Recognis­ ing the changed condition, we must place in position men whose familiarity with other nations will enable them to direct our affairs so that we will take the lead in commerce, as we have In agricult­ ure and in manufacturing. Do not for a moment doubt the strength of our situir tions. They have been tried in blood t and came \ through the contest better, stronger and purer than the most ardent patriot dared to hope for. No combination of circumstances, no coterie of indi­ viduals, no persona] ambition, can ever prevail against the intelligence and the inborn love of lib­ erty which are implanted in the hearts of Americans. When the nominations are made and the Convention , has completed its work, let there be but one sentl- I ment animating all earnest, sincere and unselfish I Republicans, and let that be that each shall vie With i the other iu carrying our grand old party through ! the coming contest to victory.

The framers of the constitution expected that the President would be chosen by electors, who were to assemble in their respective States, and, on consulta­ tion with each other, cast their ballots for a Chief Magistrate, and, in case of a failure by the electors, the House of Representatives voting by States were to make the choice from the four who had the high­ est number of voices in the colleges. So far from direct popular representation did the constitution , ( remove the choice of the Executive. But the people, mittee had only finished its business ten min- to oppose tlia mMtou.

Mr. Hoar addressed the convention as fol­ lows : GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION : In the choice you have made for permanent presiding officer, and the disposition to a wise economy In the matter of opening speeches, one good reason occurs to me, and that is that, having heard one speech from me, for reasons entirely satisfactory to each delegate, you have no inclination to hear another opening speech. Mr. Frye, of Maine, said that the Committee on Rules and Order of Business were ready to report, and he moved that it be called upon. Carried. Mr. Sharp, of New York, said that tho com- aa in his breast. Garfield got up. Mid, after the prolonged ap­ plause had ceased, he defended the right of tho Virginians to vote no if they thought tho motion inopportune. The gentlemen had stated that tMjf intended to vote for the nomi­ nee, and that was all that should be asked of them. An allusion by the Ohio orator to the right of delegates to represent their constitu­ ents was cheered. He suggested that the gen­ tleman from New York withdraw the resolution. Mr. Colliding did so amid cheers and hisses. The chair announced that he would clear tho galleries from which hisses came. He was very properly indignant, and denounced the biasing as an outrage. The report of the Committee on Bules was read, also a minority report. The consideration of tho report was postponed until after the Crt.'Jv .ui.UiiB Coijujuuitfco h>|»aU.tl. which tho uuiiti oijUiuiluOvd »uuiil iw tu uau <ui hour. At the expiration of the half-hour the chair called the convention to order, it being now 1 o'clock. He immediately introduced Hon. Omar D. Conger, Chairman of the Committee on Credentials, who on behalf of the committee apologized for delay in deciding cases before tnem. He represented the difficulties under whi6h they labored. They had been almost con­ tinuously and laboriously in session for over two days. The committee had considered all cases with candor and fairness, and without dispute, ex­ cept on the merits of the various questions. Toe committee report a roll of members. In the Louisiana contest, they recommend the ad­ mission of the Warmoth delegation and the ex- elusion of the Beattie delegation. The report discusses the organization of the convention of the State of Louisiana. They find that the bolt w*s without cause. They recommend the admission of James T. Bapier in the Fourth Congressional district of Alabama. This case is also traversed. They also advise that Smith and Warner, who were duly elected by the District Convention, should be admitted in place of Arthur Brigam and It. A. Mosely, of the Seventh Alabama. In the Illinois case the committee recom­ mend the following changes : In nine Congres­ sional districts the contestants are admitted in ValtauaMe for * Idwge Claon •* Patients. The chief part of the cure lies witk the patient. Change, exercise, fresh air, met, tonic--all these together will I not cure any one wijo gives up and gives- ' way.

The elector to-day is but a scribe. The conventions of the great political parties designate each man for whom the people vote directly through their agents, the Presidential Electors, and to a choice between whom they are practically restricted. The function of this convention is, therefore, to name one of the two men from whom the people of the United States are to select their President. If it performs its duties wisely, fearlessly and freely, it is to name a man whom the people will make their | President. Your term of office is but brief, but scarcely any duty is intrusted to the most honored | citizens of the republic which, in dignity, in author- j ity, in far-reaching public importance, equals it. j It is twenty years since the Republican Convention m«t in thiB city, which, after a stormy but friendly j contest, put in contest Abraham Lincoln and Hunni- i bal Hamlin.

The Report of tho .Went Point iconrt •f Inquiry* < The conclusions of the Court of Inquiry iti the case of Cadet Whittakcr are as follows: 1. The court la unab!e to believe that such slight wounds as Cadet Whittaker received could have been inflicted by persons in the manner and under the ! circumstances described by him. 1 X It does not see why a man with his surroundings and in his condition and frame of mind, as shown j by his own evidence, should have submitted to an i assault such as is alleged without summoning assist- j ance during the assault or immediately thereafter. 3. It believes a person tied as he was and left as he ! claims to havS been could readily have released him- i self had he exerted himself to do so. i 4. From the testimony of the Post Surgeon and ! others the court is compelled to believe Cadet Whit- | taker was neither asleep nor insensible when he was ! examined on the morning of April 6, 1880, but that i he was feigning. I 5. The court is not able to discover any motive that j any person, other tlian Cadet Whittaker, could have i had in making assault, and there is no evidence j whatever that any person did it. i 6. It believes ^hat the hair-clipping, flesh-cutting ! and binding cou!d all have been accomplished by j Cadet Whittaker himself. | 7. The theory that the note of warning is an imita- i tion of Cadet Whittaher's handwriting is, iu the opinion of the court, untenable. The severe tests to I which experts in handwriting were subjected, (Hid their positive testimony, place it beyond a doubt that | Cadet Whittaker himself wrote the note of warning, | and therefore that he is not ignorant of the person or persons engaged iu the affair. This latter couclu- the nation was poor, its treasury empty, and its 6-per-cent bonds below par. Our unprotected man­ ufactures contended at fearful odds with the pauper labor of Europe, on whose workshops we depended for a large portion of the accessaries and comforts of life. Our little navy was scuttered over the four quarters of the globe; 4,000,000 of our countrymen were in hopeless bondage; to them every new State, as it took its place in the great family, but added a new dungeon to thet&gloouiy priaon-house.

Destructive Influences. Doubtless countless myriads of living- creatures come into existence, of which by far the greater part must be de­ stroyed. One aphis may be the parent, of 5,904,900,000 individuals in five gen# erations, and when these are swallowed, up by lady-birds and other enemies in- mass, it is no minute individual variation, that can avert their fate. The unchecked the Committee on Credentials larger area than usual has been planted with j gj0n is strengthened by the faet that one-lialf of the " T" ' " ' sheet of paper on which this note is written was found in Cadet Whittaker's possession. The opinion of the court is as follows : From the strong array of circumstantial evi­ dence, from testimony of experts in handwritiug, and from the conflicting statements of Cadet Whit­ taker and lack of veracity evinced by him in certain cases during the investigation, as shown by the evi­ dence, the court ts of the opinion that the imputation upon the character of Cadet Whittaker, relerred to !n the order convening the couit and contained in the official reports of the C< mmandant of Cadets and I'oet Surgeon, is fully sustained.

In Louisiana and Mississippi it is the accomplice of the White League and the Ku-Klux. In South Carolina it takes the honeBt ba.lot from the box, and stuffs tissue ballots iu its place. In New York it is­ sues fraudulent naturalization papers, three score thousand in number, In Maine its ambitious larceny tries to pilfer a whole State Government. In Dela­ ware it Btands complacently by the whipping-post. As in war it found in the constitution nothing which could protect the national life, so in peace it finds nothing there which can protect the national honor. Can you find in the history of the Democratic party for sixteen years anything that it has either fane or tried to do, except to break down the legal sedguards which make free elections possible ? Yes, my friends, the Republican party has 110 such miser­ able history. It tells you of rebellion subdued; of slaves freed; of great public ways constructed; of rivers and harbors opened to commerce; of home­ stead laws for the settlers; of treaties protecting the rights of our naturalized citizens abroad; of public credit re-eetablished; of sound currency restored; of a flag floating everywhere, honored and respected, over peaceful seas and welcomed everywhere in friendly ports.

The findings of the court have been forwarded to the War Department. Prof. R. T.
