Chicago haa become convention crazy She imagines that she is to bo the scat o all conventions from now until the cracl of doom , In all probability when Oabriu sounds the last trump ho will blow hi horn in Chicago in the morning. It is about time that such political ol < timers aa George "William Curtis , Oar Sohurz , ox-Governor Potts , Prosiden I * * Sooloy , Andrew White , and others of i \l \ like character , all verging upon three score and ton , coaic to call thomsolvo "young republicans.

" ' AT the prost-nt time it is safe to sa ; that there will bu at least six prosidcn tial candidates voted for on the first bal lot at the republican national convontioi Arthur , Logan , Edmunds , Sherman Blame and rUwloy.

The artists , the painters , the sculptors , and the ilres < nakcrs , have always found this class ol [ leoplo to bo their moat liberal patrons , flioy have lavished their money lik < water in patronizing the fine arts in ordci o impros-i others with the idea thatthoj were refined and cultured people. Amoiif .hose wlio have thus been the most ox : ravagant with money is Mrs. Mackoy wife of the bonanza millionaire. Wit ) icr immcnno and brilliant diatnonds- , ho purest gems and her magnificent drcs.ics , aho has been the envy of nil tin shoddy aristocracy of the gay Frond capital. At the coronation of the Ilus sian cz.ir the hoinnzi queen , with all no : finery , shown roiplondont among thi sprigs of nobility , and so long a she observed the rules of proprio she was admired at least for her rcga munificence. With unlimited wealth a tier command , she was enabled to assutm and maintain the airs of the codfish aria tocracy. It has 'boon the fashion among th California monopoly millionaires , win arc in the habit ofviaiting Paris , to hav their portraits painted by some distin guishnd artist. Those Californians hav mostly patronized Moissonior , who , n < doubt , has often congratulated himsol upon his good fortune in this respect Governor Leland Stanford had his pot trait painted by Mcifiaoiiier. Mrt Alackoy , in looking about for an artist t nproad her features upon canvass , iiimll concluded to favor the distinguishoi Moisaonior with her order. She accord ingly sat lor her picture , and the artia dovotcd himself faithfully tw the work lie produced n picture which , in hi jcdgmont , was a life-like and faithfu representation of the subject. What therefore , must ImvabconhiHastonishmon and diatnay , when upon presenting tin portrait of Mrs. Maokoy for her accept mice , to hear her , after a brief examination tion ot the work , break forth in angr ; Lonon of denunciation of the picture upoi which ho had applied his utmost skill The picture , it seems , was not llnttcrin ; enough to her vanity. She had oxpootci something gorgeous somothiig tlm would magnify her beauty spots some thing that would cover her wrinkles- something that \YOuld conceal her crows feet something that would make ho appear as a fresh , beautiful young wu man. But that something the oonecion tioun artist had failed to produce. II liad painted painted her on canvas jui aa she appeared before the mirror tru to nature. Her rage know no bounds Paying Moissonior his price , aho armci herself with a hatchet , and proceeding ti the utudio of the artist , she deliberately hacked the portrait to pieces. Shi handled the hatchet with the same skil and vigor that &ho did when aho used ti cut her own kindling wood in the dayi buforo her husband struck a bommzi. Thia unladylike and costly divorsioi created a genuine sensation in Paris. I ia considered an insult not only to th ; rrcat artist Moissonior but to French ar generally. The unexpected always hap pens. Moissonior is to bo compliments by u banquet from the leading artists litoratourg , and military celebrities. Th Fiyaro , in commnnting on the Mackoy Moissonor incident , says ; "Foroigi millionaires have rights to bo receivoi amongst us so long aa they employ thoi wealth in purifying the artistin genius o Franco and not in destroying its produc lions by ax blows. Ono might avong onoBolf on his bootmaker by paying hi bill and throwing the goods in the fire but to treat in this fashion a great artist an illustrious old man with an irruproacl : able artistic conscience , is to attack th genius of the country and its roapect fo the men who make it illustrious. " Sr.NATou VAN WyoKof Nobra8koani Congressman Anderson , of Kansas , wor the only western representatives wh were hoard at the banquet of the Nov Yorx board of tnuto and transportation Senator Van Wyck responded to tin toast , "Our Public Domain The Pee plo'a Heritage. " After paying a tributi to the board of trudo and transportation ho said that the line of the old BOU which declared that "Undo Sam has lam enough to give us all a farm , " will sooi bo declaratory of a fact of the paat uni not of the present. Our rulora had beei prodigal of the country's vast patrimony , and greedy monopolists were sohomin ) to absorb what remained of it. Leader of both the great political parties wcti helping in the spoliation. "Tito national capital , " continued Senator Van Wyck , . ' "seems paralyzed by the boldness of th demands and the celerity of the move ments of barons tncro exacting am grasping than those of feudal times. Tin executive departments have become to < often the inoro creature * to record th will of those vrho are fast becoming at aoluto masters , who boldly enter th gloomy rocoBscs of the supreme court and , with bewitching smile and subtl logic , reverse decisions long established It will bo well now for rulers to hood th rumblings of the coming storm. " O.NK of the threat drawbacks of Omah is high rents Ono of her greatest need is a largo number of tenement blocks am cheap residence ! for wage workers , Sucl accommodations are soarco in Omahaam consequently rents continue too high and make it exceedingly difficult for a pee mau earning from § 1.50 to $2.00 a day t live comfortably hero with his family The city is growing very rapidly , and th boom of the present year will bring t Omaha thousands of people , most o whom will demand houses at roajoiiabl rents. This demand should be eupplioi by those of our capitalists Y'ho have th money to spara for investment in choa ] buildings that will unquestionably rotuvi thorn ton for cent not , and this certainly ought to bo enough to satisfy thorn. There are quito a number of rich men in this city who can each oroot a largo num ber of Bin all houses without missing the money. They have made their fortune ? In Omaha , and many of them have been enriched by the rise in real estate , They certainly ought to do something towards cheapening rents , which they could do with profit to thoimolvos , and at the Bimo time benefit the laboring class and the city generally. Our capitalistswhile investing their thousands in largo enter prises that will draw to Omaha many hundred families , should not forgot that hnv must provide accommodations fet bin increase of population. The discussions that have nrison in vu < rioiis states regarding the advisability ol continuing the contract labor system in the penitentiaries are at last producing good results. The fact that it is unfaii to permit convict labor to compote with free labor is rapidly forcing itself upon public attention. The question has boor generally agitated , and stops have been taken this winter in several slates for the abolition of the contract system. The passage of the Comatock bill in Now York practically abolishes the contract labor of convicts in the prisons of that atato. The legislature of Now York has thus solved a difiicult problem , and hae put an end to the agitation which had begun with the trades unions and wa ; taken up by the laboring claaaos in all the leading cities. The Comitock bill forbids the state authorities from furthoi contracting for the employment of penal labor. The commissioner , who was ap pointed to gather information and statis tics on the subject , found that nearly all the contracts in the largo prisons wore invalid , they having boon made in t looao and illegal way. The commissioner - or , , in commenting on the information obtained by him , said : "I feel certain that I will bo indebted by your honorable body and by ovorj honest citizen of the state , when I ontoi u most solemn protest against the loose , unbuainoM-hko , if indeed not criminal , management that has characterized the state's officials in making thcaocontracts ; and if the stito is to continue its present policy of placing its convicts in competi tion with its free , honest citizens , I sub mit that it shall do so only by virtue ot and in strict compliance with the require ments of the law , etc. 'Add to this the fact that the citizens of the state , through the disgraceful ac tion of their &tatp and county officials , are to day supporting , free of all charge to the national government , nearly two- thirds of all the United States pnsonort in the Union ! To thus have the groal state of Now York made a penal colony , to which the criminals of the entire nation are transported , is , to say the least , placing us in a f.tlso position before tha uyos of the civilized world. " These conclusions are verified by the commissioner by columns of statistics , and plain showings of the grounds fron whence the deductions are drawn. The fundamental principles that underlie penal servitude as a punishment foi crime are laid down by the Now York commissioner in the following proposi tions : 1. The ol'joct of the law in the punish ment of crime by imprisonment is not tc wreak vengeance for a wrong , but to pro tect society. 2. In the enforcement of the penalty of the law the reformation of the priaonoi should bo kept in view as of the first im portanco. It. The convict , when not physical ! } disabled , should he kept employed at productive labor. 4. The state has the right to use the labor of the convicts to make the prison self supporting ; but the labor should be so utilized as to cause the least possible detriment to any industrial class. 5. In the management of the , prison and in utilizing the labor of the convicts it is of lees importance that the prisono be made a source of revenue than that the convicts should be reformed and the burden of the competition of their labor bo distributed ns widely and as equitably as possible. ( ! . The state should have absolute con trol over the disci ) line of the prison and the employment of the convicts under all circumstances. 7. The state has no right to permit the making of profits out of the labor of convicts at the expense of their reforma tion. THE monumental .cranks are not all dead yet. Jumos Davicss , of Dakota , general agent of the National Homestead Monument association , wants congress tc make an appropriation of n township ol land to aid in the building of a monument mont in commemoration of the homestead < stead law and its authors. The menu inent is to bo ICO fout high , ono foot foi every aero of land embraced in a homo , stead claim. Why not erect a monument U10 foot high , a foot for every ncro ol land in a section , ami surmount aucl a monument with the statue of Mr , Daviesu ? IK an alleged interview Conkling li reported to have said that the domocrati would elect the next president , "lie- member , " said Mr. Conkling , "I do not say ho will bo a democrat , but I do sa ; that that party will bo a determining fac tor in the result. " Can it bo that Lord Roscoe expects to bo the dark horse of the democracy ? If the democrats should nominate him they might succeed bottoi with him than they did with Horace Greoloy. If elected , who knows but what Lord Hoaeoo will make ox-Govern or Sprague , of Oanonohot , secretary ol war , with his little double-barreled shot gun. . . _ . _ _ HKHKAFTKII it will coat only ono con to send any newspaper weighing up ti four ounces from Onmha to Texas 01 Oregon , but you will still have to pa ; two cents to have the same paper carrioi from the post-oflloo to Oroighlou block. Mu. HEWITT has bean lot out of hi unpleasant diloimna by the refusal of tl liouto committee on foreign affairs t proceed further into the resolution charging Hewitt with having apologized to the Bri'ish minister on account of thi O'Donnell resolution. The democratic members came to Howitt's relief just ir the nick of time to save him from din' 3'raco , Ho no doubt feels easier now. Foil sublime cheek Chicago stands un rivalled on the continent. Having cap tured the two national conventions , hoi ambition now is to become the capital ol the United States. The Tribune refers , seriously of coursu , to Chicago as "the future national capital. " The selection of Chicago as the locality for the mooting of the republican national convention , followed by its selection as the locality nl the democratic national convention , with out any serious dispute of the claims ir cither case , not only shows , says the Trilntnc , that the country has como u regard Chicago as the only available placi for holding conventions , but unmistaka bly indicates the drift of its progress in t direction which must end in making i the capital of the republic , and as the country qrows and develops the demand ) of that growth will make thopisolvos fell in a call for the removal of the [ capita' from its present aito to the great contn of the country. There is nothing smal about Chicago. Her ambition evidently knows no bounds. POLITlOAIj NOTES. The Koxwoll 1' . Flower bourn Is n dcllcnti plant.

" This proved an effective turn for that meeting. The Indiana republican state central coin' mitteo have made a bold and complete break from the unit rule in the matter of choosinc delegates to the coming stata convention. On April 10 conventions nre to bo hold in the various congressional districts , at each ol which U\o delegates and two alternates will bo elected.

The representation at this convention will bo on c basis of ono dolccnto for every 500 votes cast for Porter in 1SW ) , and for every fraction ovei 3UO. An Innovation IB also proposed in regard to the selection of the members of the next state central committee , who have heretofore been chosen by the district delegates to and at the Btato convention. This , year the selection will be made at the various district conven tion. tion.Tho The Boston correspondent of tha Springfield llapubllcan writes : "The determination is tc select unpledged delegations to Chicago rep resenting the st'to nt largo and the various congressional districts. It is also proposed to attempt to strike a fairly high standard in whatever platform may bo adopted , BO as to invite thosupportof the Independents.

Since the diaaentim ; opinion of Justict Harlan , of the United States supromi ourt , was rendered in the civil right case , several newspapers have prlntce the tatomont that ho resigned his com mision in the army during the civil wa ; because of President Lincoln's proclnma tion of emancipation. The manifest pur pose of this wrm to belittle nnd eliminisl the force of the opinion by making i appear that it came from ono who hae preferred the cause of slavery to the cansi of the Union. Thia , although untrue acoinod of importance enough to bo trulj answered. Accordingly , The Ilepublicat made inquiry concerning it of Justici Harlan himself. Uia response was that his letter of resignation from the army on the files of the war department , is iti own best answer to the statement refer red to , aa it clearly recited the onlj motive that actuated it. Yesterday we obtained this document , duly authcntica ted by the adjutant general , and it ii given below aa a complete refutation ol the injurious tale put in circulation for t sinister purpose : LAVEHDNE , TEN.V. , March 2,1803. Brigadier General GarGcld , Chief o : Staff of the Army of the Cumberland , Murfrecaborn , Tonn. General : I hereby tender my resignation tion as colonel of the Tenth JContuck ] volunteer infantry. I am not indebted to the govcrnmonl of the United States , nor have T any gov eminent property in my possession. ] have not been aba'ont any time witliou leave , nor are there any charges ngains mo which can affect my pay. I have beei paid to January 2 , 18GU. It is duo to my superior officers tc thoBp with whom I originally entered thi service , and to the cause in which"wi alike labored for nearly sixteen months that 1 should atato explicitly the roaaoni which have induced mo to to take thii stop.Tho The recent sudden death of my fathei has devolved upon mo duties of a privati nature which 1 cannot with propriety nog lect , and which the exigencies of the pub Ho service do not require that 1 ahal neglect. These duties relate to his un aottlpd business , which demands my im mediate personal attention. I deeply regret that I am compelled ai this time to return to civil life. It wai my fixed purpose to remain in the fedora army until it had effectually sunprenscc the existing armed rebellion and restored the authority of the national government over every part ofi the nation. No ordl nary considerations- would have iuducee mo to depart from this purpose. Ever the private interests to which I have alluded would bo regarded aa nothing , ir my estimation , , if I felt that my continuance anco in or retirement from the iervic < would to any material extent affect tin great strugfjo through which the country is now passing. If , therefore , I am permitted to retire from the army , Ii beg the commanding general to feel assured that it is fronvnc want of confidence' either in the justice or the ultimate triumph of1 the Unior cauao. That cauao will always have the warmest sympathies of my heart , fpi there are no conditions upon which I will consent to the dissolution of the Union , Nor are there any conditions consistent trith a republican form of government which I am not prepared to rrtnko ir ordpr to maintain and pjrpotuato thai Union.
