our State and the success of our party.
It was eminently fitting to confer
upon him the position he has filled so

and oriticise the affairs of the nation,
and to impugn the motives of the Pres-
ident. It ill becomes the high calling
of an attorney to outrage truth and
propriety alike to attacking an inno-
cent man wholly unconnected with
the case. We care nothing for Grant,
and do not propose, by any means, to
assume the role of his defender, but we
do insist that Henderson, as a lawyer,

Tims unanimous nomination of

enthusiasm. The selection is one of
the best and was not wholly unanti-

friends in the most graceful manner,
and the vote of the caucus was thus

our continued fidelity to the interest of
the State and people.

maintaining an efficient system of ed-

Thirty years ago, in June, the con-
vention sat, which forteed our present
Constitution. It was, called into being
chiefly to impose restraints Ml the
power of the government of this hiate
to contract debts. The purpose of the
people to establish these guards
against their agents was the result of
years of animated discussion. The
restraints were carefully devised. They
have been useful, and, ia the main,
effectual. In 1846 our state debts were
nearly twenty-four millions. In 1876
they will be reduced to ten and a quar-
ter millions. The convention eng

Among some personal reminiscences
related by Mr. Stuart in his speech was
one connected with the peace negrtia-
tions of the late Confederacy that have
never been made public. He read a
note from Hon. Judah F. Benjamin,
dated, March 25, 1864, asking him to
come to Richmond for an interview
with President Davis on business, the
subject of which was too important to
be committed to paper. He went, and
was informed by President Davis that
Congress had voted a secret service
fund of three millions of dollars in
gold to be used in creating a peace sen-
ument gt the North. After looking
over the whole country, the President
had selected Mr. Stuart as the man for
the mission. He was to sail for Nas-
sau and thence for Halifax, and the wre,
from the border of Canada, could o pe-
rate on prominent men. The fund ef
three millions was to be at his abschi ate
