OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY Indication for the Ohio Valley Winds shiftina lo north and southeast, viith narthi cloudy taathcr and areas of rain, and generally lower temperature than on If cdnemiv. The proceedings of the Republican State Conventions of Pennsylvania nnd Wisconsin, yesterday, will be found nt length in tli is issue. Also a briefe recital of the National-Greenback La bor party's, of Mississippi, which, witli Secretary Sherman's speech at Port land, made it a political field day. Sir Garnet Woi.selev, Command er-in-Chicf of the British forces South Africa, telegraphs the hoir.e Gov eminent to send no more supplies; that he considers the war virtually at an end. It is probable the victory of Lord Chelmsford, a report of which is in this morning's dispatches, has given the fin lulling stroke to King Cetywayo's resist ance and pretensions. Secrf.tary Sherman's speech, made at Portland, Maine, last night, will be found in full in our columns this morning. It is exhaustive on the subject of which ho treats the finances of the Government, past and present, and the resumption of siiccie payments. It is document which, if thoroughly studied will throw much light on a subject that may have become obscured by the be wildering teachings of such Doctors of Finance as Ewing, Cury and that ilk, It'seareful perusal will aid every honest voter. The Safe Medium Retneen Apathy and Frctfiiliicss. Sunday Afternoon.) Who shall teach us the safe medium between frctfulness and apathy: be- twecn the eagerness that never rests, nnd the sluggishness that never wakes? Complete resignation is not an unmixed good, for there are somethings to which we ought hot to be resigned, some mischiefs that we ought to mend and not tolerate. Wo have seen men who were too well contented ; there is a divine discontent that ought sometimes to in vade and stir us all. Others again are always pushing, fuming, straining to ncuicve tne impossible, to conouer the invincible ; they never know the mean ing of quiet or repose. Somewhere be tween these extremes of stress and stagnation thero is a golden mean in winch the divine impatience never degenerates into the human restlessness, anu tne stupor ot simul sloth givci piace to tne peace ot uou. Singular Instincts of Scorpions, Hannibal (Mo.) Courier. There is a species of stinging scorpion found in the river bottomB of Western Texas. Immediately after the birth of her young the female places them in basket-shaped receptacle on her back, where they nt once attach themselves and begin sucking her blood. Of course, tne mother soon succumbs to this un filial treatment, nnd begins to droop, The young ones are by this time sufficiently nourished to demand more sub stantial food, and they kill their mother nnd devour her. Should one of the young ones bocomo detached from the living nest, it is at once killed and leastcu upon by its mother. Thus it seems that while the female willingly sacrifices her life to her offspring, yet sue noes not ucsuate to Kill tliem should . they be so devoid of instinct as to re. fuso to remain where she places them after birth. While this is going on the maie parent stands around.

REPUBLICAN DAY. State Conventions Held in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Both of Which were Immense and Enthusiastic Gatherings. and Platforms of Principles Adopted, Which Leave Not Even the Shadow of a Donbt, That Far and Near the Clans Have Heard the Slogan. They Ring This Year With No Uncertain Sound. Full Proceedings of Both Conventions. Pennsylvania Republican Conven tion. Harrisburo, July 23. The Republi can State Convention met this morning the House ot .Representatives and was called to order by General Quay, Chairman ot the state Committee. There was a full attendance, and Louis nail was chosen temporary Chair- an, nnd he addressed the Convention Galusha A. Grow was made permanent Chairman, Samuel Butler, of .Chester county, was . ijr n, , m -i nominated for State Treasurer, and ac- cepted the nomination in a brief speech The following resolutions were then adopted : Resolved, First That the Republican party is again forced to stand forward tor the delense of human rights. Alter struggle lasting through a generation it nnds itself confronted by the same loesol ledcral unity, political lreedom and JN a-tional honor which it has so often over thrown in civil contests and armed con flict. Second That we appeal to the Union loving people of Pennsylvania to arrest by their voteB the mad career of the Democratic party, which insists upon placing the National Government under the dominion ot men who lately fought to destroy it, and who arc now plotting to give triumph to the doctrines tliev failed to establish in the field the establishment of Stale sovereignty by the overthrow of JN ational supremacy Third We declare our implacable hostility to the repeal ot the JN ational laws which protect the purity ot the ballot box and secure fair elections, the election of Congressmen and Presiden tial Electors being closely subiect to na tional control, any attempt to throw off that control is simply an enort to estab lish fraud at National elections. Honest suffrage and equal rights, unity of Na tion and supremacy of the National Gov ernment in all matters placed by the Constitution under its control, can be maintained only by the Republican par ty, which is alone committed to their de fense, Fourth That the Democratic party, having committed itself to break up the Government by relusing to appropriate moneys already collected from the people to sustain the Government, unless the executive shall sanction a measure intended to foster fraud, violence nnd corruption in National elections and to mpair the constitutional supremacy ol the Nation, deserves and invites the condemnation of every law-abiding nnd honest citizen. Fifth That we are in favor of the pay ment of the National debt in coin, ac cording to the understanding between the Uovernment and the lender, and ot a pa per currency redeemable in coin. We longratulate the country upon returning National prosperity and upon the accomplishment under a Republican Na tional Administration ot successful re sumption of specie paymenls. Our cur rency ib restored to its par value; the Na tional credit has been maintained and strengthened and the burden nf the Na tional debt largely reduced, lo com plcte what has been so well done, we de mand that our present nnancial Byntem remain undisturbed. Sixth That to the policy and practice of protection to home industries nnd home production inaugurated and sus tained by the Kepublican party, we are indebted for the growth and development of our domestic and loreign commerce. and for the prosperous condition and strength of the National finances; and that to the continuance of that policy must we look in lutitre tor assured prosperity and peace throughout the country Seventh That the firm stand of the President in vindicating the prerogatives of the co-ordinate departments of the Government meets the hearty approval of the republican party ol Pennsylvania. Eighth We cali on the veteran sol diers of the war for the Union to join us in resenting the unjust expulsion ot their wounded comrades from office bv the Democratic Congress, and the transfer of , .. . , ' . . icuiuiiiciiuuiiuii rccuin lu uc uiiii-pi-imiiii treason and unending hate ot the JNation. Ninth That we earnestly sympathize with our Southern Republican brethren, who are now passing under the harrow of political persecution. We bid them be of good cheer; fraud nnd force cannot al ways triumph, even in a region where fraud and lorce hnd a congenial home. If a Solid South now deprive them of their first rights, a Solid North will not tail in due time to secure them that per fect freedom which is the birthright and inheritance of every American citizen. Tenth That the United states of America is a Nation, not a League. Its Constitution and all laws made in pur suance thereof are the supreme law of the land, anything in the constitution or laws of a state to the contrary notwithstand ig. Eleventh That the tribunal estab lished by the Constitution to determine whether laws are made in pursuance thereof, is the supreme Court of the United States. All laws once enacted, unless repealed by the lawmaking power, or declared void by said Court, ncilher lawmaker, citizen, nor state has a right to nullity, Twelfth--Tliat we pledge ourselves in favor of such legislation as will prevent unlawful and unconstitutional discrimi- nation of freights by earn ing companies of the country. Thirteenth lhat the success of the administration of the State under the management of the Republican party; the steady reduction ol the state debt and enforced compliment ot the present Democratic Treasurer that not one dol lar of public funds has been lost or mis placed during seventeen years of Repub lican custody of the funds proves that official integrity and financial skill have been tho benefits conferred by our pnrty on the taxpayers of the State, and merits the approval ot the people ot Pennsylvania,Fourteenth That we heartily endorse the administration of Governor Hoyt and the stalwart attitude of Senator Cam eron and Republican members of the House of Representatives in resisting the revolutionary riders so persistently pressed by Democrats in Congress. A resolution commending the nominee of tho Convention was adopted, Ad journed sine die. WIseotiNln Republican Convention. Madison, Wis., July 23. The State Republican Convention was called to or der in the Assembly Chamber by Horace' Rublee, Chairman of the Stale Committee. promptly at 10 o clock. David Atwood was elected temporary Chairman, Filetus Knight and A. J. ihompson were elected Secretaries. While the Convention was waiting for reports of committees Congressmen rounds, Williams and Humphrie, K W. Keys and others were called out and made brief felicitous speeches. At 12:30 the committee on Credentials reported full delegations present entitled to two hundred and Bixty-two votes. The committee on Permanent Organi zation reported for President, J. B. Cassa- day, of Kock: and Vice Presidents lrom each Congressional district; Secretaries, M. H. McCord, ot Lincoln, and A. a. Heart!, of Iowa. Mr. Cassaday took the chair and spoke briefly, reminding the Convention that, inspired by the glorious achievements of twenty-five years, the party was expected to maintain its lofty attitude, as the exponent of National unity and progress. At one o clock the Convention ordered an informal ballot tor Governor. The names of Messrs. Smith and Ludington were presented with eulogistic cheers. Ihe vote was taken by tellers without roll call. Total 261 : Smith 170, Luding ton 85; scattering 6. Smith'B nomination was then declared unanimous, by ac clamation. The other State officers were renom inated by acclamation, as follows: Lieu tenant Governor, Jas, M. Bingham; Sec retary ot state, HanB li. Warner; ireas-urer, Richard Grenther; Attorney Gen eral, Alex. Wilson; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Wm. C.Whitford. The committee on resolutions reported, and the report was adopted, as follows The Republicans of Wisconsin, by their representatives assembled in State Convention, declare their adhesion to the lollowing propositions: rirst Ihe .Republic ot the United States is a Nation, not a confederacy of sovereign States, and a Government .u-.i ' . r. .t. viuiuvu Willi ueilllilllCUb UUllluuiV 1U1 luc i,: t n i,u,,a t ,;-) regulation of all subjects of national con cern. Second The elections of Members of Congress are National elections, and as such, the whole country is interested in having them fairly and peacefully con ducted, eotliat every voter may be afforded an opportunity to exercise his right of suffrage freely and without fear of personal violence, to vote once and only once, at a given election, and to ha7c his vote honeBtly counted and returned. It is the duty ol the JN ational uovernment to enforce this right. The Republican party is opposed to any military interference with elections, except when it is necessary to maintain the public peace and protect the constitutional rights ot citizens, in no instance under a Republican administration have United States troops interfered with the exercise of f ree suffrage on the part of the people. The Democratic party, by the votes of their Representatives in Congress against the proposition to pro hibit the presence in tne vicinity ol tne polls, not only of United States troops but of all men armed with deadly weap ons, have clearly shown me oau iann and hypocricy of its affected horror of bayonets at the polls. It would permit an armed mob of its own partisans to snr round the ballot box, but would prohibit the employment of United States soldiers to protect peaceful citizens from intimidation and violence at the hands of the mob, Third The refusal of a mere maionty in Congress to make appropriations of money for the ordinary and legitimate expenses of the Uovernment, with the purpose of compelling the President by such refusal to approve a measure which ne regarus as nnwisu nuu wrong, is revolutionary in principle, subversive of the Constitution, and deserving tho condem nation ot all good citizens. rourth Ihe practice ot attaching what is popularly termed "political ri ders to appropriation bills, is retarding legislation and should be prohibited. lutlh ihe thanks and gratelul recog nition of the people are due to President Haves nnd to the Republican members of Congress, for their firm and sticcesfnl resistance to the attempts made by the Democratic party to disarm the jSational Uovernment on election uayB nnd to re peal all laws tor protecting the security of the ballot box and providing for the detection and punishment of fraudulent voting. sixth Ihe successful resumption ol specie payments has vindicated the wis dom of the Republican policy on that Biibieet, nnd anorden a signal illustration ot the lack ot honesty ot statesmanship which led the Democratic party to oppose resumption and to declare that it was impossible. It has already borne precious traits in enabling the uovernment to Hind its debt at lour per cent, interest economy of many millions per annum in promoting a leeiing ot contidence and security that is already giving a powerful impetus to business industry and en terprise. The interests of all classes of people ore best promoted by a currency possessing or representing intrinsic value, such as we have at present, and bearing a fixed valuation to the world's money of commerce. All attempts to modify ex isting laws in a way to introduce depre ciation or fluctuations in the value of the money of the country should meet with a firm and determined resistance. Seventh That it is the duty of Con gress to enact laws to carry out the provisions of the Constitution, with its amendments, and to sectiro to the people uuu innt iiiws rvneu eniicicti uro suureim and must be obeyed and enforced, and the recent attempts of the Democratic Congress to repeal and striko from the statute books such laws (some of which were placed there by our forefathers and have been enforced nearly a century) han no parallel in the history of the country. Eighth That our Governor and State officers are entitled to the thanks and ap proval ot the people lor their wiso and luithful administration of the public trusts committed to them.

The Tribune's Quincy, Illinois, special says: A band of determined men entered the jail where Frank Hobbs, colored, was confined on a charge nf outraging and nearly killing Mrs. t-erguson, at Heading, fike county, and shot him dead and dragged his body, riddled with bullets, through the streets.

Decisive Victory of Chelmsford Over Cetywao, Kecapliirlug His Lost Cannon, Many Zulus, Etc. An American W'luu the Albert Prize. The Dominion Orangemen Oelebrate in Peace. A Disunion of the Bonaparlists Probable. SOUTH AFRICA London, July 23. The detailed official telegram from Lord Chelmsford concern ing his engagement with Cetywayo, sayB: Cetywayo not only failed to comply with my demands for the return of the cannon, etc., but fired on our watering parties. 1 consequently returned the cattle he had sent in and ordered a reconnoiBsance by Colonel Butler's horse. This caused the Zulu army to advance and show itself. On the morning ot July 4 my force, con- sisting of General Newdigate's division election frauds. The affidavits which ac-and General Wood's column, aggregating companiedthe memorial which wassent'to four thousand Europeans and one thou sand natives, with twelve connon and two Gattlings, crossed the Umoolosi river at 6:loa.in. Ihe torce reached an excel lent position between Enadwengo and Ulundi about 8:30 a. m. The Zulu army had been observed leaving its bivouacs about 7:30. The engagement was shortly after begun by tho mounted men, and by the Mhi attack was lully developed. 9:30 the enemy wavered, and the LancerB, followed by the remainder of the cavalry, attacked them and a general route ensued. Prisoners state that iving Cetywayo was present commanding, and witnessed tho fight from a neighboring kraal. Zulu prisoners state that twelve regi ments, aggregating 20,000 men, partici pated in the attack. Lord Chelmsford estimates that the Zulu loss could not have been less than one thousand men Ulundi was burning nt noon. Ihe steadiness ot our troops, who atone time during the engagement were under a complete belt of fire, was remarkable. The daBh and enterprise of the cavalry was all that could be wished. Our fortified camp had been left in charge of nine hundred Europeans and two hundred and tmy natives. A portion ot the tiiii lorces at one lime threatened to attack it, A large body of Zulus surrendered after the battle. Ihey are also coming in large numbers on General Crcalock's line ot advance. ' The dispatch concludes as follows: As I have fully accomplished the object for which I advanced, I consider that I shall be best carrying out sir uarne-t Vt olse-ley's instructions by moving immediate ly toward Kambawasa. I shall send back a portion of this force for supplies, which are now ready at tort Marshal. Kambawasa appears to be about thirty miles south of Ulundi Sir Garnet Wolscley telegraphs from Durban July 8, as follows: "I havo halted all reinforcements here, as I believe the war ia over. Do not send any more men or supplies till you hear from me. I expect to meet the great Zulu chief about the 16th instant and discuss terms of peace with him." A correspondent at Ulundi, under date ot July 4.

Detroit Froo rreas.l There was a marriage at the upper end of tho Detroit, Lansing and Iorthcrn road the other day. A great big chap, almost nhlo to throw a car load of lum ber off the track, fell in love with widow who was cooking for the hands in a saw mill, and after a week's acquaintance they were married. The boys around the mill lent William three calico shirts, a dress coat and pair of white pants, and chipped in purse of nbout $40, nnd the couple started for Detroit on a bridal tour within an hour after being married '11ns ero lady, explained William as the conductor camo along tor tickets, "are my brido. Just spliced fifty- six minits ago. Cost $2, but durn the cost I She's a lily of the valley, Mary is, and I m tho right hower in a new pack of kcerds. Conductor, sa-luto the bride!" Tho conductor hesitated. The widow had freckles and wrinkles nnd a turn up nose, nnd kissing the bride was no gratiiicauon. 'Conductor, sa-luto the bride or look out for tornadocsl" continued William, as ho rose up and shed his cont. The conductor sa-lutcd. It was the best thing he could do lust then. "l never did try to put on Btyle be fore, muttered William, "but 1 am hound" to seo this thing through if I have to fight all Michigan. These 'ere passengers has got to come up to the chalk, tncy lias. The car was full. William walked down tho aisle, waved his hnnd to com mand attention, and said: "I've iust been married; over thai- sots the bride. Anybody who wants to sa-luto tho brido kin do so. Anybody who don't want to will hcv cause to bclicvo that a tree fell on him I" One by one the men walked up and kissed tho widow, until only ono was left. Ho was nslecp. William reached T A X-E S over and lifted hirn into a sitting posi tion ar, one movement anu commanded: Ar' yo goin' to dust over thnr' an' kiss the bride?" Blast your bride, and you tool" growled the passenger. William drew him over the back of the seat, laid him down in the aisle. I tied his legs in a knot, and was making a bundle of him just of a size to go through the window, when tho man caved, and went over and sa-luted. iSow, then," said William, as he put on his coat, "this bridle tower will be resumed as usual, and, if Mary and me squeeze hands or git to laying heads on each other's shoulders, I shall demand to know who latted about it, and 1 11 mako liim e-magine that I'm a hull boom full of the biggest kind of saw- logs, an more comin down on the rise. Now, Mary, hitch along, an' let me git my arm around yel Corns. Corns are nothing more than thickened condenced scarf-skin, which, rising above the general surface, produce pain anu pressure, ihey are always the re sult of an unequal pressure, made by an ill-fitting shoe or boot. A tight shoe, simply, never proAiced a corn, provided the Bhoe fit well, is equally tight at all points, so as not to produce unequal pressure. A tight shoe, however, should never bo worn, as it impedes circula- ion and causes results equally as bad as corns, A shoe or Boot too large is productive of corns, especially if the leath er is hard anu unyielding, buch a Bhoe will be very, apt to produce a corn nercver it touches sensitive parts ol the foot. The proper way is to have boots and shoes made to fit, neither too large or too small, but just right and then bathe the leet frequently m warm water, to remove the scarf-skin. This the best cure, also, for corns. Bathe the feet every night in warm water, and remove all the scarf-skin possible. and only wear well-htting shoes or boots maue oi son, pnaoic loainer. ignore insinon, nna use common sense m select ing your shoes or boots, and corns will never trouble you. Preservation or Meat in Japan. Shanghai Courlcr.l The Japanese method of keeping meat fresh during hot weather is just now attracting a good deal of attention in European circles. It consists in placing the raw flesh in porcelain vessels, and pouring on it boiling water, whereby the albumen on tho surface is quickly coagulated, and forms a protection against tho further action of tho water. Oil is then poured on tho surface of tho water, so as to prevent the access ol air, and consequent putrefaction of the meat. The system of protecting animal substances by securing coagulations of their albumen and the exclusion ot air is of course no novelty; nnd it can hardly be supposed that we are indebt ed to the Japanese tor its original adoption. But undoubtedly their method of applying it is far preferable to that practiced by ourselves in the process of preserving tinned meats, which appears to consist in boiling them for such a length of time that almost all their flavor is destroyed, and the ultimate re sult is a mass of tasteless shreds of mus cular fibre. Lean Meat What Is Wanted' There are not a few people on this side of the water who havo become grumblers on this subject, and insist on receiving meat lor their money instead of having thrust upon them a mass of indigestible and disgusting tallow. It is sate to predict that the time is not far distant when the fashionable cattle will be those which will give the greatest growth of lean, marbled, tender meat in the least time, There are cat tle well fitted to supply the demand for just this kind of meat, nnd they are rapidly growing in favor with breeders in the West. When the flesh of these cattle shall have been sold generally in tho Bhops, so that people may learn what is possible in the way ot good beet, the consumptive demand will quickly increase the popularity of the breed among stockmen, and lean meat of good quality will no longer be a rarity in the markets ot the greatest meat-producing country on earth.

The track was cleared and ready for trains by eleven o'clock. The accident was caused by the spreading of the track. The damage was slight. The Pennsylvania railroad and the Baltimore, and Ohio have joined hands to beat Vanderbilt's new Western outlet via tho Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad. The tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Penusylvunia railroads at Pittsburg were united after midnight, Sunday, The joining of hands by these two roads, which heretofore have been bitter rivals, will bo a serious blow to Vanderbilt's Pittsburg line. During the session held on July 15 of the New York Legislative committee, charged with the investigation of railway affairs, Mr. Depew, a representative of tho New York Central, said that "the faro from London to Paris, a distance of three hundred miles, is more than twice as lnrge as the fare from New York to Chicago, a distance of one thousaud miles." Similar contrasts exist between other prominent European and American points. Mr.Wiseman.of the Scioto Valley railroad, says business has never been better than It has within the past week. They run two trains each way daily, and are compelled to haul such large trains that they have to cut the trains in two and after hauling one-half over tho grade to Kingston return after tho other. They averago forty cars to the traiu. During the three days previous to Friday they had transferred to the M. & C. railroad fifty-seven cars of grain for Baltimore. They have handled 325 cars within the past week. Vorttmovlh Tribune, The Ohio aud West Virginia railroad has made contracts for the completion of the two uncompleted tunnels on that line, One of these tunnels is about 900 feet long and has about 700 feet, and the other is about COO feet with about 300 feet to finish. Ten miles of tho road from Logan out has been sublet to responsible parties, and they havo already commenced work along the line. The balance of the road w.ll be let in a few days to partios who will push the work during the summer. There is a strong probability that Columbus will be enjoying the benefits of this road before 1830,
