The Milwaukee convention has hml the effect of bring out in IxiliI relief u danger to the country which 1ms hitherto ik-cii kept in alieynnce by the orcnthmlowinp; sentiment of gratitude to the soldiers ol the war on the Federal side, for whom no recognition for services rendered in the couse of country, could lie too generous and ton expansive. The South, lieutcn and impoverished, entered into the spirit of the sentiment which recognized the force of a Soulier's obligations, and Un duly of substantial provision for him in his after days of age, infirmity and miv erty ; and though laid under tribute for the support of their former enemies, and though forced to witness the contemptu ous, even hostile, neglect of their own brave, needy and maimed veterans, sul fcrers in a cause history will not stigma tize as rcliellion, yet coming forward manfully with ungrudging generosity to the provision for those happy in success, and not forgotten in adversity. Hut the So uthern soldier, and the South ern people, heavily mulcted in the com ri butious levied for the comfortable main tenance of those who had subdued them, had a tight to ask for a discrimination in the disti'.bution of national alms; to ask that distinction lie made between tin fighter and the non combatant, between him who had exposed himself to the bul let and the bayonet, and him who had shirked the dangers of the battlefield ; 1k tween him who had boi.ie the heat and burden of the war, anil him who had basely desened his colors; liclween him wholwreon his breast the insig.iia ot distinguished met it, and him who had been disgracefully drumme' . lit of ser vice; above all, lietween him inspired b patriotism, fighting for glory and his countty, and the miserable thieving bum mer, organizing under shadow of o tecting bayonets, nibbing henroosts, pil laging unprotected houses, loading them selves down with spoils to, ,i from help less women and children. Perhaps Slier man sanctified their cause and ennobl'-d their deg.adatiott, when, in his memora ble cntiy into Washington City, after be close ot his vandal march through (leor gia and South Carolina, he emphnsi cd the value of a service achieved as much by rapine and the torch as by valiant ex ercise of arms. I'.tit, at all events, the Milwaukee gathering, commendable anil honorable in many particulars, descended from a lofty plane when it sustained the ruling that dishonorable discharge from the army is no bar to the secui ing of a pension. All distinction is thus effaced between the brave and the coward, be tween the base and thedishou. Table, and the true soldier and the thieving bummer, may press their claims with equal force upon the bounty of the country. The su premacy of Tanner, facetiously called the corporal, is estublished,a"little corporal," in his way, more powerful than Napo leon, because he dominates the President, Secretary Noble, and al' he resources ol the treasury. Sustained by the ( it and Army of the Republic, there is no limit to the drain in the treasuty; and sustained by the easy outflow from the treasury, the Grand Army has it in its power to fortify itself, or the pat ty to which it lx--longs, as imprcgnably and at, imperatively in the shaping ol national policy and des tiny as once did to the downfall of 'he empire the Pretorian Guard of Rome. The danger is apparent that an organized body, with the prestige of past military service, with a claim upon the country for complete and ample reward for that service, however well or ill erformcd. and fastening itself upon the publictreas- ury as the ready source from whtck re ward shall flow, the keys to which arc in the hands of one who lightly defies all law and precedent, all authority above him, has become a source of ril not con templated when it came into licing sim ply as a means of perpetuating the brotherhood of the field and keeping in lively glow the fires of patriotism. When Fred Douglass was appointed minister to I lay ti, there was an outburst of furor from Northeu throats, first that justice was done to the ne,ro, his equality fully recognized, his claim to equal share of public honors and rewards admitted. The negro wasqutte the ci,ual in capacity to the white man, be was equally entitled to recognition of his tal ents. It is very true that it was quiet ly admitted that the rank of a Ilaytien minister was not a vet l'-fly one, that it called forth no special gifts of diplo matic skill or knowledge of the law of nations, tnat it was not even nerssaty for him to know French, the language of the country. '1 that was reU;ved was to strut about in his fine diplomatic cos tume, and keep from Stepping on the banana skins that pave the sidewalks of Potiau Pi toe. But since the nomina tion was made, a change has come over the prospect. One of the .Ival sable potentates has gone to toe waH. Obscure as Havti had become as a eommeecial State there were it;1l some valuable in terests involved in its trade. They need protection and looking after in the con tusion sure to follow the flight of Legi time and the accession of Hyppolite, And the New York merchants, interested to a man, demand the revocation of toe nomination of Douglassand the appoint ment of a man to be depended on; in a word, of a white man; sentiment gives . A: i place to pracucsu rctuuKs. IDITOKUL POINTS). In the expressions of condemnation for Judge Terry which went out so generally upon his assault upon Justice Field of the Supreme court of the United States, there was no partisanship or personality in the matter. Terry was denounced, a man of known violent passion, for mak ing an assault, not upon the jicrson of Judge Field simply, but upon a function ary of the highest judicial tribunal in the United States. In the person of its jus tices, that court must be honored, protec ted and defended; and if, in effecting those objects, life is taken, then the mo mentous end to lie attained may jus lie pleaded in extenuation. The court of the country is protected, the majesty of the government is vindicated. Hut if this being done, the icrson thus representing one of the grand principles of our system shall come down from his sacred elevation, shall enst aside tlicjitd ciul robes, shall enter the arena of private icrsonalitics, shall become plain M Field or Judge Field in controversies with individuals, he forfeits alibis ail van tages of position, and must abide all the consequences of his private encounters. We have no farther interest in htm these except to await with curiosity the issue of the iibel suit brought against him by Mr. R. Porter Ashe, of California whom Judge Field with total want of dignity, and apparently total want of ustilieation, in most undignified terms branded as a common bar. And the Ashes, from their earliest histoi v, are men if unwavering truth. London, the great heart of the world's business, has almost ceased to lcat with its vigorous pulsation. A paralysis has fallen upon its movements. The aim of labor bangs lisiless'v bv the side, and the tremendous movenicn's whose im pulse were felt to the uttermost parts of thecal ill aie stilled. It is the effect of the simultaneous cessation of all work in the most impoi tt'tit avocations. The ships lay idle, unloaded and descried in the docks or in the stream, and the most crowded pott on lieg! 'bc presents the apiicarance the blight of war or pesti lence might bring upon it. Tlicsii.keis one ol the most tin .ljiilti'.lf tver known. equalled only by the great .-a-'roadsinke in this cor tti.,- a few vca-s ago. It may liecomc a very dangerous ore i' composi tion lietween employe's and employes cannot lie elicited: for 'here is nothing more tet .

The speed of the ocean steamer City of Pai'.s, which made her last wes ern run in a days, l'J hours and IS minutes, may la-real ed by comparing it wi'h 1 he or dinal y sp'-i-d on our raihonds. Wean' inovin,' coml'i'i ably fast when we ru i twen.y mi'esnn hour; not a vc.y rapid ra'e for the sw;'. pascnt,er t-ains, but iv no means slow going. We' I, this lectin steamer, with her length ofueir ly hundred vet, cut through the waves I' i lie occtin with a sustained sjiecd throughout 'he voyage, throvgh light ind darkness, fog and sunsb'tie, of lid fi-fi miles an hour. Fast enough in view o.' ill the pet lis of such sp-cil, but not fast enough for human ambition or human impatience, and the time approaches when the distance w i'l be covered in live days. We judge that Corporal Tanner has the whip hand ; that lie holds the keys of the treasuty, and that money is held to lie the one thing neei'lul. therwisc he would never lie permitted with "npunity to make the foul ?sci sion tiion the w Id ows of the dead Union Soldiers, when, ill asking that pensions!; continued tosaid widows in case of reman inge, he said that the existing law was in effect a pre mium on frailty. Such expression could only fall from the lips of a man lost to a'l sense of decency and nil conception ol female vii -uc; and also from a man con scious of thestrength of his position with full license to insuit and malign. s There appenrs to lie "death in the pot" sometimes. We note two recent in stances of somewhat wholesale poison ing by canned eo.ncd beef, one in Chatta nooga, where twelve or fiT'een suffered severely, nud another in Ph;,adelphia, where seven were po:soned. The stances are so rare in propo, .ion to the quantity consumed that it is scurcely wot ih while to speak of it in the way of caution. s Towns grow up like mushrooms on the soil of lil.ciiy. We nil remember the crowdmg for eibow room in the new Ok lahoma settlement on the first of last April. Room was found for all, and now the board and canvass town is a rela tively substantial ciiy of 10,(1' io p-ople: and for a frontier city, np; arcntly an or derly and well ordered one.
