The Omaha r. has Liberalized, and henceforth will be known as the preat Liberal Republican orjan of the State of Nebta-ka. Tht fact alone ha? caused the few honest Republicans "who felt a little anti-Graut, to renounce their new found faith and return to the o!d party which will epe-k at the Phila delphia Convention. The Legislature of Town lias nboli-hed the death penalty in that State, and here after no man in Iowa is to lose his life though he fake th life of his fellow-mau but in all th'p caees where thft penalty was death, it is now superceded by ira riisotiraent for lif :, and in all such cases the Governor is not permitted to crant a psirdon. except on the rccocameoJation if the 5Berl Armbly. slspf.asion or a poirrmw or the BtATB K I, - urt lt'E HI SINKSIS. The Registrar and Heceiver of the Land Office at Beatrice received notice from Commissioner Drummond, on the 20th int, notifying them to immediately suspend all business "looking to the dis posal of land.?' in that portion of the Beatrice Land DNttict lying weet of range four west of the feixth principal meridian. This is the result of the crea tion of the Republican Valley District. We are not advied a to where the new office will be located, bat we tbibk Lowell on the B. & M. R. R. will be the point. The least delay in establishing this cEce will materially retard tetlle ment in t?e western portion of the State, and we presume the authorities will an nounce the establishment of the now of fice immediately. The effect of the or der will su?peud neatly all the business of the Beatrice Land Oaiee, binoe but little is done inside the limits of the re maining te-rritorv. The Cincinnati Convention is at work, but at lat accounts was making but lit tl headway. The Fee Traders and Profpcfioriii-ts are having trouble about the TariiT plank in the platform. Ir. Greeley i trying to settle the difficulry, an 1 succesf? that that plank he left out, and l't the people make the issue cn that matter, at home, in their Congre? Monal Di-tricts. Palmer, Davis and Trunibull are the prominent candidates for the Presiden tial nomination, though others may come to the surface before the nomination is made. The New England delegation ot into a little fuss because the Massachusetts inomhers wanted to monopolize the whole business of the delegation. The differences were at la? Fettled, and the delegation will cast the first vote f6r Sumner. The Illinois delegation also had s-iiue difficulty about who it should vote for, but was settled by dividing the vote one half f r Davis, and the other half divided between Palmer ami Trumbull. It i- claimed by some that the Conven tion will be harmonious throughout, and a plat form adopted which will gain th-? full and hearty support of the Detiioc racy as well as Liberal Republicans. The city is full of visitors. jrilB sx';KirY k the ritrsi i:.vr. From the Christian Union. The recent meeting at the Cooper Un ion was. in numbers and enthusiasm, un doubtedly f-ucces.-fiil. The reputation of the orators announced was month to secure the former element, and their elo quence maintained the latter. But the real influence of the meeting mu.-t de pend on the impression produced by the speeches of S nators Trumbull and Sehuiz; and this impressifn we l ave endeavored to analyzs. fr; t ly admitting both the earnestness and the ability ol the speakers. We find no measure oP reform advo cated by cither of them which we d not heartily a prove. The one term princi pie was indeed insetted i:j the resolutions read to the meeting (but not voted upon) Neither Senator Tiumbull nor Senator Schurz. however, vouchsafed it am at tention. What they u'ge is amnesty, civil service reform, the faithful exer tion of the laws, and the preservation of the rights of local self -government. To all this we say, Ameti Rut their accu sations in these respects, it seems to us. .e against Congress and not again.-t the President. He has put himself upon the record repeatedly in favor of amnesty an 1 reform. A personal crusade against him can only-be based on one of two a siertons Either it must be asserted that he is in-in ;ere in his professions, tint he deliberately iuocks the people wih pr-'inise which he does not mean to f VuM. or el-e it must be assorted that hj is well meaning but weak, and that uri-cnV'ilous politician? control him in spite of his wishes. The first of l!i- se accusations appears to have been pre ferred by Messrs. Schuiz and Tiuni lu'l. They charge that the Pre identis him self responsible for crying evils in the civil service, wmch he does not earnestly deire to remove ; that he connives for political reasons at corrupt inisgovem ment in the South; that he overrides the laws, pemiits hi? nearest subordi nates to override them, and netoacbe more and more upon the rigTits of citi zens, communities, and States. This arraignment is as unwise as it is wek. Not one of these accusations against General Grant is new; not one of them has stood the test of examination. They are all baed upon fief ? so trivial as to make the alarming deduction' ridiculous. The people have watched their Presi dent, neting many mistake? in his course, but noting a? well a steady purpose to 'o riht. and a ier-nnal honesty which has d'-fiod the storm? of slander. We regret extremely th" a'iena'ion from hint of some of ih p-t men in the Senate, who should be his cordial supporters and counselors; but we feel that this nnf ir tunnte result is not altogether hi fau't. It i? sad indeed that some of the Presi dent's mfa-ures should be r.ppospj by the President's prof -sional friends ; hut is it not cqnallv sad that the same meas ures should be advocited in a sriritof hostility to him? Amrety, for instance, wis stranu'ed in Congress by the com bined folly of its friends and its foes. But the question arises. How much shou'd tie? Executive do toward influenc ing legMa'ion? Andrew Johnn was deno'ineed f)r havirg a policy, cn 1 f r -incto force it upon Congress. Now, Grant is denounced for not forcing hi? policy upon Congress. And the leader? of the Cincinnati movement, ignoring apparently the necessity of a change in C ngress. which defeated Amnesty and Reform, propose to assail the President who recommended these measures. This part of the isue trims wholly on the per sonal character and sincerity of the Pres ident. These gentlemen have lost faith in him. We hnve not; and we think the reoj le have cot. Tln.tL the whole difference. On the other supposition, that he i3 well-me-ining, but unable to control the party leaders in Congress, there i3 a stronger case to be made. Otdy. we may fairly inquire, is it the President's busi ness to control the party? And if it were could any President do it? If Senitor Trumbull, for instance, were President, , could he make the country politician? of the two houses give up their hold on political patronage? Could ho make reformers out of carpet baggers ? Could he legitimately do any thing more than propose mea-urcs in Congress, and quietly submit if .they were defeated? And has Gen. Grant done les;s than this? The logical weakness of the Cincinnati movement has been its element of per sonal hostility to Grant. This has brought the movement into the dilemma we have indicated ; and the only way of escape leads to an alternative which Mr. Schurz has boldly adopted. Declaring hostility to Grant, he also declares the impossibility of reform within the Re publican party as it now exists, and dis tinctly announces the creation of a new party. That party will need a platroriu ; and that platform must be made up of hostility to Giant, j.'w advocacacy of Grant'o measures. Outside of this there is only kft revenue reform in the direction of free trade, which, as a party measure, is too dangerous; and the "one term" principle, which is too ri diculous to be adopted by skillful mana gers Is it necessary to attempt the destruct ion of the old Repu' iieati party on such gioundsasthe.se? Only incase; if Gen eral Grant is a hypocrite, a plunderer, a military despot, a deceiver and destroyer of the people ; and if such a man is to be forced upon an unwilling party as its can didate for office, then, indeed, the party should be rent to atoms lather than per mit rue!' iul'auiy. Rut if our faith and the faith of the eomun n people in Geu. Grant is not a delusion, it is the duty of hotiest Republicans to rally around the President and reform the party. To that end, we want a. I our good men to stay with us and stand by us; and we hiive not seen ihe thadow of a suf ficient reason why they bbouid depart and joiu our enemies. Whatever the Ciucinnatia convention does for itself, we tru;.t it will do this much for the Republican party lead to i lo insot tinn in tlo Pliilaildirihi r!i- form of clear and unmistakable declara tions in favor ofunivtrsal amnesty and a fair trial of the President's plan of civil service reform. We want to see the party irrevocably committed to these steps of progress; we want to seethe politicians who hinder, delay and ridi cule them, rebuk d and confounded tir.sf, In cause the measures themselves are right and necessary; second ly. be cause the coreial indorsement of them by the convention of the party and by all the nominees and orators iu all the States would remove the only tangible grounds for any desire in the minds of irue-hartfed (even if wrong hea led) Re publicans to destroy the organizati n in a hich still rests, as we think, the hope of the country. i iir. coopi.it i.nhii h i i: .n F.cnxi. These celebrated meetings are regarded as the opening guns of the Campain, and are creating much excitement throughout t he land. From ail we can learn of them, they amount to rothingmoi e, than at the n'rst meeting Messrs. Schurz Greeley and Tiumbull explained the , reasons i!r the Cincinnati movement, and why they were participating iu the game. At the Seeoud meeting Messrs. Morton and Wil.-on gave the first three named gen tlemen such acomph-te skinning that the Dr. Greeley has now to fall back on his quili and explain the difference between actual skinning and just scraping up the hide. He intimates that he only suffer ed the latter but, all the city of N. V. think olhetwise and are making much sport of'our latter Fiar.klin. The celebrated volcano Vesuvius is undergoing the mo.-t violent and active etuptiun it has undergone for a eenturyr Several towns, with the inhabitants, at the base, are already destroyed by the lava and ashes, and the end is not yet. On the 27th'of la-t month the stream of lava had reached Sebastiano, and threatens other towns. Explosions in the volcano are con-tantly heard in Na ples. Coustcrnatiou am ug the iuhabi tantsof the villages and towns increases. It is rear..-erted that many tourists were su round.d by the lava and perished King Victor Emanui-1 .sent aid to those who were compelled to flee from their homes for safety, and encamp in fields. Liter telegrams say : The villages of San Sabastian and Mas.-a lissomma are. almost entirely destroyed, but the in habitants succeeded in getting away safely. Lava is now advancing toward the villages of Ponticclli, Cercali Saint George and Portici, which have been abandoned by the iuhabitants, and those of Torre Del Greco, Resina and Basca treeaie also fL-d from their homes as those places are threatened with.de sttuction, and hid been provided with temporary shelter. Yesterday the lava advanced at the rate one kilometre an hour, Lut it has slackened to-day, while there Las bten a number of heavy ex plosion on the interior of the volcano. To-diy there has been no trembling of the earth. Mr. Merina of New York, introduced a bill in the House directing the Secreta ry of the Treasury to call in the 3 per cent certificate and issue instead legal tender notes The amount of out stand ing certificate? is about 14 millions, and the redemption will amount to an expan sion of the Currency that much. He holds that there i? a scarcity of currency in the country and unlers the Govern ment furnish relief a great stringency will exist next Fall, one of the chief caus es which he gives is the Chicago fire. There is a strong probability that the bill will pis. "NasLy" is to lecture next season in opposvtmu to the Woodf ull theory of uiurriage. Uu title is "llaiiiiah Jane." David A. Wells, who has gone off af ter the Cincinnati Convention, wrote a letter to Charles Francis Adam?, desirou? to know hi? views and fishing tobj spokes man for him, at the Convention. Adams replied as follows : Boston, April 13. Mr Dear Ma. Wells. I have re ceived your letter and wdl answer itfrank ly. I do not want the nomination, and couid only be iu iueed to consider it by circumstances uuder which it might pos sibly be made. If the call on me was unequivocal one bas"d on conSd.uce in my character eat ti ed ia pubhc life and the belief that 1 would carry out in practice the princi ples which I -professed, then iudeed would come a test of my courage in any emergency ; but if I am to be negotiated for, and have assurances given that 1 am houett, you will be so kind as to draw me out of that crowd. With regard to what I understand to be a declaration ot the print pies which have been made, it would be ridiculous in me toi-tand hag flitu over them. Wit h he single ex ception of ambiguity, I see nof hing whicii :.ny honest Republican o; Democrat would not -icci pt. indeed, I should wonder at &jy one w ho denied them. 1 J he d fliculsy is not in profession?, it lies elsewhere. It is only in the mir.ner in which thry arc.eatrieJ in'o practice If I have succeeded in m iking myself understood, you will pereoive that 1 can give no authority to any one to act or to speak for me in the premises I never had a momeuts belief that when it cjuw to the point, any one so entirely isolated as I am from all politi al association of any kind could be made acceptable as a candidate for a public office, but I win so unlucky as to value that independence more highly than the elevatioti wlii-di is brought by the sacrifice of it. This is not inconsistent with the sense of grateful recognition of the very fl ittering esti mates made of my service in many and hith quarters, but 1 cannot ccn-ent to peddle with them for power. If the good people who meet at Cincinnati real ly believe that they need such an anomo lous being as I am, which I do not, they mu.-t express it in a manner to envinee n5e of it or all their labor will be thrown away. j Iaiu, wilh great respect, yours, &c. i Chaki f.s Francis Adams To David A.

The mo-t terrific rain and hail storm ever witnessed in this section of the State paid its respects to us this afernoon. It commenced about six o'clock, and it was. in a few moments, as dark as night. Hail stone? came down like snow not as it Usually does, mos all small stones with an occa-ional largo one, but it was revers ed, the greater number being from the size of a hickory nut to the size of an egg, many of them measuring over seven inches in circumference. One measured over (ei inches arouid. The grou d looked as though it was covered with small snow ba'Is. The hail storm lasted about fifteen minutes, doing grent dani a, e. Over f rty large glus were broken inthe AtWuod llou.-e. The photogtaph galleries suffered iiv st, one of them hav ing a sky-liy Lt with forty-nine large glass in. had only nine whole ones left. In fact, almost every building in town suf fered. The rain came down in torrents, flooding the streets and beating in through the holes in the windows that the hail had made. Some persons who were out were struck and nally hurt by some of the large hailstones. An -rroiieMi Slap.

Ttis statad to day by the friend? of Gratz Brown that le has decided not to be present at the approaching convention. ) The city is fast filling with delegates and visitors to the two Conventions which tueet here Wednesday. Fuli delegations from several 'States an 1 a portion of those from others arrived to-day. ; Tne subject of the platform, particu larly the tariff plank, is engaging the attention of caucuses. Revenue reforms predominate, but the protectionists in sist that the tariff question must be left out or carefully handled, or they will lose a large vote East. They say the New York free-traders are frank. It is thought, however, the question will be satisfactorily settled by to morrow. The platform will not differ essentially from that presented by the Missouri Conven tion, under which this convention was called At a meeting of the New York dele gation, Whitelaw Reed presented II. Greeley's views on the subject of tariff plank which are briefly to leave the sub ject to be decided in the election for Congressmen. The struggle for the nomination 6t.ll appears toe between Adams and Davis, and the present situation is not changed from heretofore stated. WMfclilncton. Washington, April 2'J. James M.

He says Massachusetts will be ably represented by such men as Francis Bird, Kiison. Er licott and others. The Patriot of this morning publishes an article understood to be the result of an informal conference of leading Demo cratic S nators and Representatives last ni:ht, denying Adams as being the first or even second choice of the Democrats, or would be accepted by them more readily than Browu.

Thomas A. Scott of the Penn sylvania Central and John W. Garrett of the Baltimore and Ohio, lately locked horn? in Wa-hington, and the former, after a protracted, desperate contest tri umphed. He asked of Congress per mission tn run his trains (over a subsid iary road) into the heart of the Feder; 1 City, through public grounds of decided value, wi hout paying a cent for the privilege: and Congress give him all he wanted. So he can run from Philadel phia into Washington, asking no odd? of the Baltimore and Ohio or of its Wash ington branch. We now hear that Mr. Garrett has countered this rap by getting the late New Jersey Legislature a charter fira fchort, apparently iniguificant road j .kiwi.ith ii mm whereby, through connections already bargained for, tie Baltimore and Ohio may run it? train? right into Jersey City, in utter independence of the Pennsylva i ia Central and its henchman, the Cam. den'and Amboy. More succinctly, each of the two railroad king? has secured a clear trak from the Hudson to the Po tomac, and will' soon bn running through trains from the Commercial to the Po litical Metropolis in nnembara-sed con - petition with Lis great rival. Ai York Tribune. From an editorial iu the Omaha Re publican, in reply to an article in the Chicago Tribune, we clip the fo lowing in regard to the Trunk Road We be lieve that this road will be built and trust that work may commence soon. The people of this reetion are prepared to give aid as soon as a responsible com pany can be found willing to build tl e road. "We tell Chicago plainly and unrqu' voeally that the Trunk road will be built. The organization to effect this will be made on Wednesday of this week, and without doubt the work will be com menced immediately. And what is more, we say that with the road ot d river, freight w II average lower to S . Louis than to Chicairo, even if Iowa was spanned with a dozen roads instead of four. And we tell them just as p'ain'y that with this done, her merchants and Linkers will discriminate very carefully to know who have been her friends in this contest for her lights. The Q i -- ot itic fast A cry has reached America from the perishing children of a once proud city, now destroyed, asking ft r aid. Antioch, once called by Pliny the "Quten of the East," or the remnant ot it which lingered on the earth only, as it were, as a memorial of ancient glo ry has been swept from the face of the earth, and the descendants of those who, twenty eetituties ago, illustrated the highest civilization and the most luxu rious social life of the world, plead tor succor fiom a people whose life was not to begin for at least two thousand years aftei wards.
