To limber out each stiffened joint.

H8APP0INTED SEEKKRS FOR THEPRESIDENCY.

The divine injunction, "Seek and vehall lind," does not—at least, in all itsorce—apply to all those persons whoesiro to be placed at the head of tho

American Union. As there could havejeen but twenty-two elected Presidentsf the United States between 1789 and877, even had each President beenimited to one term, and as seven Presi-ents were re-elected, it follows that the

lumber of successful aspirants to ourNational Chief Magistracy has been butmall ; while the number of unsuccessfulispirants has been very large, somethingke a legion, when we count not onlyliose of their number who receivedominations or electoral votes, but thoseIso who were "named for nominations,"

or who were pushed forward by admir-ing but not very judicious friends. Per-haps a running sketch of the history ofPresidential asi>iration may not be outof place at this time, when Presidentialaspirants are so numerous, and when thehost of the disappointed is so sure to beheavily reinforced before the close ofthe first century'of the Kepublic's life,not a month lieuce—for there are abouta score of men now aspiring to bo Presi-dent Grant's successor, who have fairpretensions to the favors of the partiesto which they belong ; and yet but twoof these men can become candidates withanything, like well-founded hopes ofsuccess, and but one of them can bechosen to the Presidency. Then thereare twenty Inore, perhaps, who havebeen talked of, or "thought of" inlimited circles, but of whom the greatpublic, the people, haye heard littie inany case, and nothing in most cases.

The first and second Presidential elec-tions were not contested, so far nr; (hefirst office was concerned. Washingtonwas made President without open oppo-sition, receiving oh both occasions all theelectoral votes ; but as the system ofvoting in the colleges then stood, everyman who received a vote was a candidatefor one of the two offices that were filledby the action of the electors ; and therewere no less than ten such persons, withthe following result : John Adams, 34 ;John Jay, 9 ; 11. H. Harrison, G ; JohnKutledge, 6 ; John Hancock, 4 ; UeorgeClinton, 3 ; Samuel Huntingdon, 2 ;John Milton, 2 ; John Armstrong, 1;and Benjamin Lincoln, 1. With twoexceptions, all the men who receivedthese votes were famous revolutionarycharacters ; and Mr. Adams, though hehad not a majority of the electoral votes,was legally chosen to the Vice-Presi-dency, according to the manner of fill-ing the second office in 1789.

Our first contested national electionoccurred in 1796 ; and a very close oneit was, Mr. John Adams being chosen to

I the Presidency by 71 votes, and Mr.Jefferson receiving 68 votes ; and these

| last vctes made Mr. Jefferson VicePresi-| dent. It waa.in that contest that disap-

pointed aspirants began to appear.Some of the Federalists desired thatJohn Jay, of New York, should be theirparty's candidate, and probably he wouldhave been supported by that party, andMr. Adams have been set aside, hadit not been for the circumstance that hewas la)»3ring under the odium that fol-lowed from his having negotiated thefamous treaty with England—"Jay'sTreaty," as it was denominated—andhence he was not available. He can beset down as having aspired to the Presi-dency, though he did not seek it ; andhad he remained Chief Justice of theUnited States Supreme Court, and hadhe taken no part in politics in 1789-'96,in all probability he would have beenour second President, as he was one ofthe very first men of that period in everyrespect. But there was another aspirantin 1696 who failed. Thomas Pinckney,of South Carolina, a promineut man, wasthe Federalist candidate for the VicePresidency ; and it was intended by someof the Federalists that lie should bemade President, they having an invin-cible distrust of Mr. Adams. As Gen.Pinckney must have known what it wascontemplated to do, we must set himdown as having been a very much dis-ppointed man when he found that not

only had he been defeated ior the Presi-dency, but that ho had failed to get theVice Presidency. A number rf theAdams Federalist electors withheld theirvotes "from him, tho plan that had been

! formed for the defeat of Mr. Adamsbeing thus turned against Gen. Pinck-ney himself, with fatal effect. Mr.Adams had 71 votes, Mr. Jefferson 68,and Gen. Pinckney 59. In consequence,as already stated, Mr. Jefferson becameVice President. Mr. Adams, it will beseen, came within two votes of beingplaced at the very head of the long listof disappointed Presidency seekers.Two Southern electoral votes alone savedhim from having that disagreeable po-sition forced upon him. "A singlevoico in Virgiuia," says his grandsonand biographer, "and one in NorthCarolina, prompted by the lingeringmemory of revolutionary services, hadturned the scale. Had these been givento Mr. Jefferson instead, he would havebeen President. South Carolina, on theother hand, steady to neither party,manifested the same sectional biaswhich has ever since marked her policy[thi3 was written in 1856] by dividingher votes between Mr. Jefferson and Mr.Pinckney." It was New England thatdefeated Gen. Pinckney, for she gaveeighteen votes against him, which notonly placed him third on the list ofcandidates, but more than neutralizedthe support he got in South Carolina.He gained a vote in Pennsy^ania, but-lost three in Maryland. Had eleven ofthe eighteen New England votes thatwere given for Ellsworth, Jay and othersbeen given for Pinckney, he would havebeen chosen to the Vice Presidency, ashe would have had seventy votes, or twomore than were given for Mr. Jefferson,and one less than the number receivedby Mr. Adams. Of the sixteen votes ofMassachusetts, thirteen were given forPinckney.

President Adams failed of a re-electionin 1800-1801, and so he must be setdown as a semi-disappointed aspirant;and Mr. Jefferson himself came verynear being placed on the roll of suchaspirants. He and Col. Burr, who wereon the Democratic ticket, received thesame number of votes (73), and so noman was chosen to the Presidency, as theConstitution then stood, and the elec-tion devolved upon the House of Repre-sentatives. After balloting for a week,the House elected Mr. Jefferson, andCol. Burr became Vice President. Hadone of the New York electors withheldhis vote from Jefferson, Burr would havebeen chosen to the Presidency by 73votes to 72. Barr was the first of thedisappointed Democratic aspirants tothe Presidency; and his ruin—whichhas been pronounced " the profoundestand most striking, with more of moralcircumstance in it than that of almostany other man "—was owing, not to hisvices, political or personal, or both, butto the incident that he permitted him-self to be run against Jefferson in thoHouse of Iiepresentatives. Yet his con-duct, though it may not have been hon-orable toward his own party, was instrict accord with the requirements ofthe Constitution and the laws. He hadas good a right to be a candidate in thoHouse of Representatives as Mr. Jeffer-son possessed—exactly the same right—and had he been chosen, he would havebeen entitled to the same treatment asMr. Jefferson received. But it is notthe less true that the Jeffersonian partycontemplated his overthrow by a resortto arms had he been chosen, though theyspoke of their violent intention as if ithad reference to action that the Feder-alists might have taken had the Housefailed to elect any ono to the Presi-dency.

The election of 1804 saw throe Presi-dential aspirants, who were to bo deadfailures, on the two tickets. PresidentJefferson was rcnoininatcd for a secondterm and re-elected. Of the 176 electo-ral votes, ho received all but fourteen,so low had the Federalists fallen. Thefourteen votes were given for Gen.Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, of SouthCarolina, elder brother of Thomas Pinck-ney, and a very distinguished actor intho revolutionary contest. He had beenon the tickot with President JohnAdams in 1800, the anti-Adams Federal-ists hoping to make him President, andmaking no disguise as to their views;but he rah one vote behind Mr. Adame,which was given for John Jay, by aRhode Island elector. Thus he becamethe Federalist candidato in 1804, but hetook nothing by his nomination. RufusKing was on the ticket with him, as thecandidate for the Vice Presidency, andobtained the same support, or fourteenvotes, which were given by Connecticutand Delaware and by two Maryland elec-tors. Tho Democrats had removed Col.Burr from their ticket, and their newnominee for the second offico was GeorgeClinton, of New York, long Governor ofthat State, and tho most influential manin it. He received tho same number ofvotes that were given for Mr. Jefferson.

In 1808 there were a number of aspi-rants for the Presidency. Mr. Jefferson,who had resolved to retire, wished to besucceeded by his Secretary of State, Mr.Madison ; but Jame Monroes thoughthe had "claims" on the Democraticparty, and he and his friends were veryrestive. George Clinton wished to pro-ceed, as Mr. Adams and Mr. Jeffersonhad proceeded, from the Vice Presidencyto the Presidency ; and Nejv York sup-ported his claims. But everything hadto yield to the iron will of Jefferson ;and Clinton ran again for the secondplace under Madison. The Federalistsput up their ticket of 1804, Pinckneyand King, and more than trebled the votethey had secured for it in the earlieryear. Pinckney and King received 47votes ; and Mr. Madison had 122 votes,and George Clinton 113. Quito a num-ber of Democratic votes for the' VicePresidency were diverted from Clinton,nine being given for John Lanedon, ofNew Hampshire, three for Mr. Madison,and three for Mr. Monroe. Six of theNew York electors would not vote forMr. Madison for the first place, and gavetheir Presidential votes for George Clin-ton, These were the first signs affordedthat the triumphant party was sufferingfrom internal dissensions.. Four years later these dissensions hadmuch increased, and a great effort wasmade to turn out the Virginian dynasty,but with no other result than to placeanother disappointed Presidential aspi-rant in the list to which such men be-long. Had George Clinton lived, some-thing effective might have been done ;but he died early in 1812, a disappointedman. His nephew, De Witt Clinton,was nominated by the bolting Democrats;and the Federalists held a convention inNew York and resolved to support him.

After a warm conflict Mr. Madisonwas re-elected, lie receiving 128 votes ;but the 89 votes that were given for DeWitt Clinton showed how strong tho op-position had become, their vote havinggone up, per saltum-, from 47 to 89, al-most doubling in four years. Elbridge(terry, of Massachusetts, was chosenVice President, his vote being 121; andJared Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania, an oldFederalist, had 86.

But before another election could takeplace, everything had changed. Thesecond war with England wae declaredin June, 1812 ; and most of the North-ern Federalists had so borne themselvesconcerning it as to create the impressionthat they were anxious for the success ofthe enemy. Tho masses are always pat-riotic, and they "frowned upon" thoFederalists, who never afterward made'any figure as a national party; so thatwhen the Presidential contest of 1816begnn, the Democratic party alone hadmuch to do with it. In making theirarrangements there was another disap-pointed aspirant placed conspicuouslybefore the coontry, and another Southernn?an ; and the Federalist candidate madea third, and a fourth had been created afew years earlier. Early in 1813 JohnArmstrong, of New York, had boonmade Secretary of War. He had beena good soldier in tho Revolution, andhis reputation as a writer and author hasremained high, notwithstanding his finalfailure in politics. He wrote the New-burgh Letters, which made him a sortof American Junius. He served in thoNational Senate, and he was Minister toFrance in Napoleon I. 's time. Made aBrigadier General in 1812, ho went soonafter into the Cabinet. He hoped to beMadison's successor in 1817, but thecapture of Washington mined him,though he was not responsible for thatdisgraceful event. It was believed thatthe President wanted to get him out ofthe way, for the purpose of being suc-ceeded by Mr. Monroe, with whom hehad "made up," and who had been ap-pointed Secretary of State, and whoacted as Secretary of War after Gen.Armstrong's retirement.

The New Yorkers then sought' thenomination of Gov. Daniel D. Tompkinsfor the Presidency, he having been veryuseful in supporting tho war when atthe head of their State ; but lie had togive way to Mr. Monroe. Mr. Craw-ford, of Georgia, also had to yield tothe Virginian. Mr. Monroe had 183votes, and the same number was givenfor Gov. Tompkins, who was chosenVice President. Rufus King, sf NewYork, the Federalist candidate', receivedonly thirty-four votes for the Presiden-cy, and the same number of votes forthe Vice Presidency was distributedamong four Federalists.

There was no contest in 1820, Monroeand Tompkins being re-elected with noopposition worth mentioning. Conse-quently there were no disappointedaspirants created' at that time; butat tEo election of ] 824 they cropped outstrongly. There wore six aspirants totho Presidency as Monroe's administra-tion drew to a close; Mr. J. Q. Adams,Gen. Jackson, Mr. Crawford (who hadwaived his "claims" in 1810), De WittClinton, Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun.Mr. Crawford was the "caucus candi-date;" Mr. Calhoun postponed his pur-pose, and became a successful candidatefor the Vice Presidency ; and De WittClinton did not j'ersevere. Tho contestlay between Crawford and the otherthree aspirants. There was no choice,made by tho electors, and Mr. Adamswas chosen by tho House of Representa-tives.

In 1828 President Adams was beatenby Gen. Jackson, and thus he, like hisfather, was disappointed one-half, as hefailed only of a re-election. The contestwas confined to those two great men, nonew aspirants appearing in the field; butin 1832 there were four candidates, twoof whom wero new men in tho Presi-dential business. President Juoksonwas re-elected, and Mr. Clay, who had

been badly beaten in 1824, was beatenin the sarno manner in 1832. Mr. Wm.Wirt, who had becuUuited States Attor-ney General from 1817 tp 1829, was theanti-Masonic candidate, and receivedthe electoral vote (7) of Vermont; andto John Floyd, of Virginia, were giventhe 11 votes of South Carolina.

Them were five candidates at the elec-tion of 183C, and Daniel Webster, per-haps tho greatest of all the disappointedaspirants, obtained the 14 votes of Mas-sachusetts; 26 were cast for Hugh L.White, of Tennessee, an old Jacksonman; and 73 for Gen. Harrison. Mr.Van Buren was chosen President, thenumber of his votes being 170. SouthCarolina gave her 11 votes to Willie P.Mahguiy, of North Carolina.

Tho great battle of 1840 was a square,stand-up fight between tho Democratsand tho united opposition, and theformer were beaten, President VanBiiren receiving only 60 votes, and Gen.Harrison 234. With, perhaps, the ex-ception of the campaign of 1872, thereis nothing liko it in our history. Therewere no new aspirants in it, but Mr.Van Buren was served liko the Adamses,he failing of a re-election. The Whigslost, or rather they failed to reap, theproper fruits of their victory, becausethey had made an injudicious nomina-tion for the second office, so that Presi-dent Harrison's early death was ruinousto them in a short time.

J !ut they rallied bravely, and came verynear to success in 1844, when Mr. Claywas their candidate. A new aspirantwas brought forward on the Democraticside, Gen. Cass, whoso appearance wasfatal to Mr. Van Buren's hopes; but theGeneral himself was 3et aside, and Mr.Polk was nominated and elected. TheLiberty party then came forward andsupported Mr. James G. Birney, andthe Wnigs attributed their defeat to thatmovement, as, they asserted, it tookfrom them more votes in New Yorkalone than would have sufficed to bringabout the election of Mr. Clay.

In 1848 there was a great change. TheDemocrats nominated Gen. Cass, andthe Whigs Gen. Taylor—which led tobolting on both sides, and the boltingBarnburners of New York (Van Burenmen) united with the bolting Free Soil-ers in support of a ticket bearing thenames of Mr. Van Buren and Mr. C. F.Adams. The result was the defeat ofGen. Cass, who never again was nomin-ated. There had been some talk of nom-inating either Judge Woodbury or Gen.Wm. O. Butler, of Kentucky, and it wassaid that both those gentlemen aspiredto the Presidential nomination. Gen.Butler was the Democratic candidatefor the Vice Presidency.

Another change came in 1852. Mr.Douglas had then become an aspirant,but the Democrats nominated Gen.Pierce, and he was chosen. G-en.Scott, who had long been a Presidency-seeker, was the Whig candidate, and howas utterly beaten; and perhaps his de-feat was as great as that of Mr. VanBuren in 1840, save that tne popularmajority was not so largely adverse tohim as it had been to Mr. Van Bureu—nor did it begin to approach the enor-mous popular majority that "was givenagainst Mr. Greeiey at the last election.Mr. Fillmore, who was serving the bal-ance of the term of President Taylor(who had died in office), had soughtthe Whig nomination, and so had Mr.Webster, who was a kind of a candidato,but who died a few days before theelection was held.

The election of 1856, the first inwhich the Republican partly figured,was fought between Mr. Buchanan andCol. Fremont, while Mr. Fillmore ranas the Know-Nothing candidate. Col.Fremont was a new aspirant, but Mr.Buchanan long had sought a nomina-tion, and Mr. Fillmore was an oldseeker. Mr. Seward had sought theRepublican nomination, and was offend-ed because he had failed to get it; andso, it was reported, was the case withJudge McLean, who had been after anomination for years. Mr. Douglas,who had been in the field for sometime, desire* the Democratic nomina-tion.

The campaign of 1860, which was theoverture to the civil war, had an abund-ance of Presidential candidates—Abra-ham Lincoln, John C. Brtckinridge,John Bell and Stephen A. Douglas.That of 1^54 was not so crowded, andMr. Lincoln was re-elected. Chief Jus-tice Chase desired to have the Republi-can nomination, but he failed togot it, as Mr. Soward had failed in 1860.General Fremont continued his aspira-tions, and was nominated for the Presi-dency by a few men, who called them-selves Radicals; but he soon left thefield. General McClellan was supportedby the Democrats, but he succeeded on-ly in being placed high amongthe disappointed seekers of the Presi-dency.

In 1868 the nurttber of the disappointedwas large. Chief Justice Chase sough*-,the Democratic nomination, and so didPresident Johnson—both in vain. Mr.Pendleton also failed to get it. HoratioSeymour got it and was defeated. TheRepublicans were united in support ofGen. Grant. Mr. Greeiey—a good manand deserving a better fate—was the"great disappointed" of 1872, becausehe fell into tho error of accepting ananti-Republican nomination, and becausehe virtually assented to be the Democrat-ic candidate for the Presidency. He hadbeen u, seeker of the Presidency for someyears. He must bo set down as havingattained to the disagrcoable eminence ofbeing the worst beaten Presidential can-didate mentioned in our history, becauseof tho many and various bitter incidentsthat marked and characterized his defeatand fall.

To sum up : There are several classesof disappointed Presidential aspirants,which can be set forth in order :

1. The men who were regularly nomi-nated for the Presidency, and beaten,never reaching the offico. They are :Charles C. Pinckney, De Witt Clinton,Rufus King, William H. Crawford,Henry Clay, William Wirt, Hugh L.White, Daniel Webster, James G. Bir-ney, Lewis Cass, Winfield Scott, JohnP. Hale, John C. Fremont, Stephen A.Douglas, Joh#Bell, John C. Breckin-ridge, George B. McClellan, HoratioSeymour, and Horace Greeiey. Mr.Birney and Mr. Hale received no electoralvote.

2. Tho men who, being regularlynominated, sought to be re-elected to asecond term, they being in office, andfailed. They are: John Adams, JohnQuincy Adams, and Martin Van Buren.

3. The men who, being in office, towhich they had been regularly chosen,sought nominations for siecond terms,and fuilod to get them. They are: JamesK. Polk, Franklin Pierce, and JamesBuchanan.

4. The men who had succeeded to thePresidency because of the deaths ofPresidents", they having been chosen totho Vice Presidency, and who sought

nominations, with the view of beingregularly elected. They are: John Tyler,Millard Fillmore, ami Androw Johnson.

5. Tho men who received electoralvotes for tho office, but who had notbeen formally nominated for the Presi-dency. They are, Thomas Pinckney,George Clinton, John Floyd, and WilHeP. Mangum.

6. The men who were mentioned inconnection with the regular Presidentialnomination, but never received it. Theyare—at least in part—John Jay, DanielD. Tompkms, John C. Calhoun, Will-iam Gaston of North Carolina, JohnArmstrong, William Pinckney, WilliamLowndes, William Smith of South Caro-lina, John McLean, Richard Rush,Louis McLane, Levi Woodbury, JohnM. Clayton, Richard M. Johnson, Rear-Admiral Charles Stewart, Reverdy John-son, Chester Ashley of Arkansas, SalmonP. Chase, Roger B. Taney, Thomas H.Benton, William O. Butler, William L.Marcy, Thomas Corwin, John J. Crit-tenden, Jefferson Davis, Thomas H.Seymour, James Guthrie, William R.King, Cassius M. Clay, William H. Sew-ard, John A. Dix, Henry Wilson, R. M.T. Hunter, George M. Dallas, Albert H.Tracy of New York, Theodore Freling-I u/sen, Gen. Hancock, George H. Pen-dleton, Associate Justice Davis, CharlesF. Adams, Edward Bates, Green ClaySmith, Gen. Sherman, and WendellPhillips. With two or threo exceptions,the persons here named wero "talkedof " in connection with the Presidentialnomination before tho open beginningof the present contest. We do not makea list of the present aspirants, the namesof whom are printed every week in mostof the newspapers, or occur daily in com-mon conversation.

7. I t only remains to mention thatj Aaron Burr forms a class apart from' other disappointed aspirants, as he wasvoted for in the House of Representa-tives for the Presidency, for which officehe had not been nominated.—BostonJournal.

THE FATE OF CHARLEY BOSS.

" The riay'g the Thing in Which to Catchthe Conscience."

[From tho New York Sun.]A few weeks ago, a Boston detective

called at the Fifth Avenue Theater, andexplained to Mr. Stephen Fiske that hewas in confidential communication withMrs. Monher, the widow of the man whohad stolen Charley Ross ; that she wasevidently exercised in mind in regard tothe secret of tho boy's fate ; that she hadheard of the stolen child in " Pique,"and was anxious to see the play if shecould come to the theater unobserved ;and he believed that, under the influ-ence of the play, she might be inducedto make the confession which she hadhitherto refused.

These facts having been representedto ;Mr. Daly, he placed his own privatebox at the service of the detective, and thenext evening Mrs. Mosher was broughtquietiy to the theater. She was a plain,elderly woman, neatly attired in black,and was accompanied by a female friend.During the progress of the trial shelaughed and cried with the rest of audi-ence, but did not exhibit any specialperturbation until the last act. The sor-row of the heroine, Miss Fanny Daven-port, then appeared to move her strange-ly. When Miss Davenport exclaimed :"He ' s dead!" Mrs. Mosher rockedherself backward and forward and re-pouted : " He's dead ! Yes, he's dead !"The joy in the Renfrew family when thostolen child was restored also affectedher deeply.

At the close of the performance Mrs.Mosher and tho detective left the theateras quietly as they had entered, the detec-tive whimpering to Mr. Fiske as theypassed, " I think it has been a success."No farther revelations were vouchsafeduntil Wednesday, when Mr. Christian K.Ross, the father of the abducted boy,visited Superintendent Walling, and helda long conference in reference to somenew clews which have been discovered.It is believed communications have pas-sed between Mrs. Mosher and her broth-er, Wcstervelt, now under sentence inMoyamensing Prison, and that the fateof Charley Ross is shortly to be clearedup.

Marvelous Progress of Civilization inJapan.

The rapidity with which the Japaneseare assimilating the habits and scienceof the West is ono of the greatest mar-vels of the age. Civilization, until now,has always taken the opposite coursa tothat of tho sun, and tho change goingon in these far eastern islands is notmere external imitation, but an absoluteinternal transformation. A few yearsago an Imperial College of Engineering

j was established in the principal island,I with the view of educating native engi-neers for the Department of PublicWorks. Admission is obtained by com-petitive examination, the course of in-struction is very complete, and the col-lege is at present under the managementof English professors, the English lan-guage having apparently been adoptedas tho scientific tongue. In connectionwith this institution there are well-fittedlaboratories and workshops of variouskinds. The special courses are civil andrnec'ianical engineering, telegraphy, ar-chitecture, practical chemistry, and me-tallurgy. The number of students at

J h e close of last year was 272. Ener-1 %etic measures are being adopted by the

Government for introducing the im-proved manufacture of iron into thecountry. With this view, two charcoalblast furnaces and other works are incourse of erection, and it is expectedthat by the close of the present yeartwoivo puddling and seven reheatingfurnaces, forge train, plate, rail, bar,guide and mills, with steam hammers,four different shears, saws, lathes,cranes, and all other necessary appli-ances of the most modern construction,will be in operation.

Revolting.The journals of Sweden publish de-

tails of a revolting scone at an executionin that country. Two men named Hjertand Fektor were guillotined for thomurder of a railroad engineer, whosecarriage they had mistaken for the mail,which they intended to rob. A largecrowd of spectators assembled aroundthe scaffold, and aftor the criminals hadbeen dispatched drank or licked theblood, taking it up with spoons or withtheir fingers from the wood of the plat-form. There appears to exist among thopeople a belief that the blood of a crim-inal is a remedy or a preventive againstmany diseases.

A TERRIBLE DEED.

A Young Man Poisons his ITathcr audMother and a Boarder at their House.

[Easton (Pa.) Cor. New York Times.]The mystery attending tho deaths

which have occurred in the Laros familywithin the last few days, by poison, liasat last been cleared up by the confessionof the murderer, Allen C. Laros, theson of two of the victims. On Wednes-day last the family of Martin Laros, re-siding on the Delaware, at a place calledMineral Spring, about five miles aboveEaston, consisting of himself, his wife,six children—Allen, Alvin, Erwin, Alice,Clara, and Flora—and Moses Schug,who boarded with them, were takenmore or less ill immediately after supper.Ono of tho younger children, who wasnot so much affected, was sent to seekassistance, and she at once sought outan elder brother, Clinton J . Laros, whohad not supped with tho family, andasked him to go with her to the house.He did so, and upon his arrival %.e sawthat the greater number of the familywere desperately ill, and immediatelysent for medical aid. Dr. A. K. Seem,of Lower Mount Bethel, was called, and,finding that all the symptoms indicatedthat they had been poisoned, adminis-tered eineticH aud applied other reme-dies to relieve their sufferings. Towardmidnight they all grew worse, however,and Dr. Junkin, of Easton, was sent for.At his Suggestion other antidotes wereadministered, but they did not proveefficacious in all the cases, as Mrs. La-ros, the mother of the family, died at 7o'clock tho next (Thursday) morning.Mr. Laros, the father, died at 1 o'clockon the same day, and Moses Schug, theboarder, at 3 o'clock on Friday after-noon. As it had been remarked at thesupper table that there was a strangetasto about the coffee, the vessel inwhich it had been prepared was exam-ined, and a heavy white sediment wasfound at the bottom. An analysis ofthis substance was made, and it wasfound to be arsenic, and tho quantitywas stated to l»e sufficient to kill 100persons. No cause could be assignedfor the act, and for some days the wholeaffair was enveloped in mystery. Atlength it was discovered that a secretaryin which Mr. Laros was known to havedeposited a sum of money had beenbroken open and tho cash stolen, anilthat Mr. Schug's trunk had also beenrobbed of a pocket-book containing $150in United States currency. When thisbecame known, suspicion was directedtoward Allen C. Laros, one of the sonsof the family, a young man about twenty-one years of age, who was engaged inteaching school at Schneirnortown, nearby. His character was known by manypersons to be bad, and they had no hesi-tation in expressing their belief that hewas the murderer. This opinion, how-ever, did not seem to be borne out byby the facts, for he had supped with hisfamily on tho night which they werepoisoned, and he himself complainedof having experienced the effects of thepoison.

At tho Coroner's inquest, Dr. C. A.Voorhees, of Eastou, said that, a fewdays before, a man had called at hisstore, and purchased fifty cents' worth ofarsenic for rat poison. Since that occur-rence he had seen Allen C. Laros at hisresidence, and to the best of his know-ledge ho was the person to whom he hadsold the arsenic in his store. The jury,after a short deliberation, returned thefollowing verdict:

" We find that Martin Laros came to his deathfrom the effects of arsenical poison, adminis-tered iu coffee, on Wednesday evening, May31, 1876, and that we believe the same was ad-miuietered by Allen O. Laros."

A separate verdict was brought in foreach of the victims. A warrant was im-mediately issued for the arrest of AllenC. Laros, and officers of the law went tohis r.oom, where he was lying in bed,and informed him that he was their pris-oner. Clinton Laros, a brother of theprisoner, asked him if he knew anythingabout the affair, and he replied that if heknew anything about it he would tell.The officers then began to search thehouse, and, while they were engaged inthis, about ten minutes after the arresthad been made, Laros suddenly calledout, " I did it." Mr. Sandt, ono of thejurymen, and the officers then wentinto the room, and the prisoner madetho following confession, which was re-duced to writing and signed on thospot:

I aid i t : tho money is out between the pri»nd eheep-stable; this was done on Wednesdayevening, the same night that I put the poisoniu the coffee-pot; I knew he (hia father) hadmoney, but did not know how much ; I tookthe money before I put tho poison in the coffee-pot ; I took Schug's money, too, but don't knowhow much : I took none of his papero ; I didhis so that they might all be dead, and I could

do with the money whatever I pleased—thatnothing more would be aaidabout i t ; I confess,also, that tho monoy taken from the place along time ago I took, too ; I don't know howmuch it was, but I think it was $50 or •'SCO ; Itook swallows of the coffee, too ; I was just assick as I pretended to be ; I only drank iu so asto throw them off Bnspicioning me; I took a falseoath this afternoon ; I know it is very wrongwhat I have dono ; I want you to pray for me,and ask all of God's people to pray for me ; Ihave no wife nor children ; my name is AllenC. Laros ; 1 took tho silver out of my father'sdrawer and put it in Moses Schug's pocket-book ; I found Schug's pocket-book in hia chestin the garret; Bohttg's pocket book was a newone, and father's is an old one ; this is myconfession, truo and faithful, made in the pressence of Samuel Sandt, Jr., William liittors,and George Bchooley. ALLEN C. LAUOS.

The money was found where the pris-oner said he had placed it. Mr. Laros'pocket-book contained in all $91.80, andthat of Mr. Schug $250. When takenwhere the bodies of the victims lay, thesight did not seem to make much im-pression on the murderer. He attemptedto kis? the faces of his parents throughthe openings in the ice boxes, but notbeing able to reach them he passed hishand over the faces, and shortly afterleft the room. Ho was then taken k>Easton by the officers, and lodged in jai1.In personal aypearance, the murderer israther prepossessing, and might bo calleda handsome young man.

Alvin Laros, ten years of age, wasworse yesterday, having quite a high le-ver, and was disposed to rest the greaterpart of the time. The two stOl sick arenot quite out of danger, as ulcerationmay set in, and the patients may diewithin a week or ten days. The othersseem to be well and entirely out of dan-

GOOD news for tho boys. They haveinvented a patent machine for curryinghorses. I t is said to save time and dotho work far better.

A coRBEsroNDENT of the New Centurycontends that farmers should keep butone breed of poultry. I t will not pay tohave all tho trouble of keeping variouskinds separate. Select a choico breed,and then keep them pure.

THE plan of harrowing potatoes afterplanting and before they are far ad-vanced is growing in favor. This allowstho crop to have a good start of theweeds, and tho potatoes are not in theleast injured by the harrow.

IT is said that the wild grapevine willtwine itself from tree to tree. Tho corallioneysuckle is desirable for plantingnear the windows, as it Is one of the firstvines to unfold leaves and flowers, andthe last to retain them. Its pretty flow-ers are favorites with the bee and hum-ming bird.

M. I. PIERBB calculates that, in a lifeof sixty years, an apple tree removesfrom the soil 60 pounds of nitrogen,:qual to 11,500 pounds of farm yard

manure. To maintain tho soil in con-dition, therefore, he estimates that about175 pounds of manure ought to bo au-niially given to a tree during the fiftyyears' that it is in bearing.

THE Executive Committee of theMichigan State Agricultural Society arereported to have declared that the trialsof speed at their annual fairs could notbe attempted without bringing in all thoobjectionable features of gambling inci-dent to regular horse trots, and havedecided to abolish it accordingly. Illi-nois has followed suit.

THE cause of "foot rot," or "hoofail" in cattle is generally muddy ordamp yards. Cows that are kept in dry-yards, and are not obliged to wadethrough to get their drink, are seldomtroubled with fouls. The cure is easilyeffected by cleaning the sore feet out,thoroughly scraping off all disorganizedskin or flesh, and rubbing in well a salvecomposed of finely powdered blue vitrioland laid ; equal parts by weigiit. Thefeet should also be kept dry.

THE London Live Stock Journal ofMay says : When Bright Empress wassold at Mr. Torr'ssale for 2,160 guineas,there was much cheering, from the factthat the figure was tho highest ever paidfor a cow in England. The price has,however, now been capped, 2,500 guin-eas having been obtained for GrandDuchess of Oxford, 29th,- which hasjust been sold by the Duke of Devon-shire to the Hon. George Brown, ofCanada.

IT is of importanca that we set onlyfresh eggs, so that there may be no wasteof eggs-or of effort on the part of thohen in endeavoring to hatch out old orfitale ones. The practice too often is togather the eggs from day to day, andplace them in a basket, box or someplace of general reception; and when ahen is to be set, the eggs on hand arepicked over, with a view to get those ofa certain color, shape, or kind, regard-less of nge. Consequently some whichare set are freshly laid, while others aremuch older acd perhaps stale; these un-doubtedly would not be sot if it wasknown how old they were. This diffi-culty would be entirely overcome bymarking with lead pencil on each egg,at the time of collection, the date whenlaid, and if it is known by what hen,note that also; then, in selecting eggsfor a sitting, those of too great age arereadily excluded.

A coiiitEsroNDENT of the PrairieFarmer says that any land that will raisogood Indian corn will raise broom corn.The ground should be well pulverizedwith the harrow, then planted with aplanter made expressly for the purpose,either by itself or attached to a commontwo-horse corn-planter. Care should betaken not to get the seed too thick, as inthis case the brush will bo small, or toothin, as it will then grow too large formarketable brush. About two and aa half quarts of soed will be sufficientfor an acre. Plant any time between thetenth of May and the 1st of July, in thislatitude, 41 deg. When the spires areup about two inches go over it with aharrow, especially if it be too thick.Don't be afraid of hurting the growingplants. Then go over tho ground witha roller. It is a good plan to roll as soonas planted. Treat it as you would Indiancorn by cultivating till the blades shadethe ground.

BBEAKFAST MUFFINS.—Two eggs wellbeaten with one cup of sugar and a lumpof butter the size of an egg; to this, addone pint of sweet milk, with two tea-spoonfuls of yeast powder worked thor-oughly through one quart of flour; bakein muffin rings on top of tho range or ingem pans in a quick oven.

BOSTON BBOWN BBEAD.—Three andthree-fourths cups of Indian corn meal,two and one-half cups rye meal, not flour,two-thirds cup molasses, one quart milk,either sweet or sour; two even teaspooL-fuls soda dissolved in milk; steam in tinpudding-boiler five hours; take off thocover and set in the oven with the beansto remain till morning.

WHERE all other means have failed toexterminate bedbugs, sulphurous acidgas has succeeded. Take everythingout of the infested room, plug up all thewindows tightly, close all chimneys, andempty about ono ounce of powdered sul-phur on a pan of hot coals, placed in thomiddle of the floor. Shut the doorsand cover all cracks; let the sulphurburn as long as it will. Where the roomis large, it is a good plan to fasten a bitof tin tube to the bottom of the pan, andto this connect enough small rubberpipe to lead out of tho nearest door. Byblowing into the end of the pipe withthe bellows, the sulphur will be causedto burn more quickly by the draft cre-ated, and to give a denser smoke. Afterthe sulphur has burned, paint all thocracks in the floor aud around the mobboard with a strong solution of corro-sive sublimate, and treat the furniture tothe same before replacing it. We have.seen a room frightfully infested, com-pletely freed by this plan.—/S'cientifioAmerican.

Democratic National Ticket.

For Pretident—

SAMUEL J. TILDEN.For Vice President—

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.

TILDEN AND HEtfDRICKS.

The Democratic National Conventionwhich met at St. Louis on Tuesdaycompleted its labors on Thursday. I tswork was done deliberately and well.Differences of opinion existed upon theplatform and candidate, and Demooratshave a r ight to differ pending tke actionof a convention, but the decision oncereached it was unanimously concurredin.

SAMUEL J . TILDBN, of New York,

was nominated on Wednesday after-noon, on the second ballot. The twoballots taken stood :

1st. 2d.Tildeu, 403 1-2 508Hendncks, 103 1-2 84Hancock, 96 61Allen, 66 MBayard, 31 11Parker, 18 18Thurman, 3 2

Total vote, 738 , necessary to a choioeunder the two-thirds rule, 492. Onmotion, the nomination was niado unan-imous.

Samuel J . Tilden was born at NewLebanon, New York, in 1814, and isnow in the sixty-third year of his ageHis career as a lawyer, as a writer onfinancial and political questions, and alegislator is well known. But especial-ly so is his assault upon and destructionof the rings of thieves which were fat-tening upon the city and State of NewYork. Elected Governor in 1874 hisadministration has been a wholesomeone, and has resulted in a great reduc-tion of taxation and in securing theconfidence of the masses throughout thecountry. He was a War Democrat fromthe day the first gun was fired uponSutnter until the rebellion was a thingof the past. His messages and speecheshave proved him a master of the sub-jeot of finance and taxation ; and honestmoney, economical government, andthorough reform in all departments findin him their champion. His name issufficient platform, and his knownopinions will be a sufficient interpreta-tion of the good and sound platformupon which he was placed by the con-vention. We congratulate the Democ-racy of the State and nation on his se-lection, and rejoice in the convictionthat after the fourth of March next aPresident will have a home in theWhite House who having dared to con-front and put dowa evil doers in hisown party, will administer the gfmeraigovernment on oorreot principles.

THOMAS A. HKNDKICKS, now Govern-

or of Indiana, was nominated for Vice-President (the vote not being.known tous a t this writing)- Gov. Hendricka isa native of Ohio, being born in Septem-ber 1819. He is one of ablest and pu-rest men in the country, and his experi-ence has been large both in legislativeand executive offices. Six years servicein the Senate of the United States gavehim a reputation broad as the UnionHis financial views, though not so pro-nounced as thone of Mr. Tilden, give as-suranec that he is neither an inflation-ists nor a soft-money man. He believesin gold and silver as the basis of a soundcurrency, and opposes the increase orperpetuation of the irredeemable green-back.

Gov. HATES, the Republican candi-date for President, visited his old homeat Fremont, Ohio, a few days ago, andwas enthusiastically received by hisfellow citizens of all parties. He madea speech in excellent taste, saying somegood things in a modest and sensibleway. The following sentences indicatethat he isn't the least in doubt of theway and why of his nomination : " Iunderstand very well that it was not byreason of ability or talents that I waschosen. There were accidents and con-tingencies that caused this result." Itis well to know the character of one'sfoundation, and Mr. Hayes seems at noloss to discover and appreciate it.

THE news of the nomination of Til-den was received too late for a ratifica-tion meeting Wednesday evening, butgave great joy to the Democrats of thiscity. The satisfaction displayed andenthusiasm manifested were in greatcontrast to the " cold comfort" withwhich the nomination of Hayes was re-ceived by the Republicans. A rousingratification meeting was held last even-ing. The ball is rolling.

IN 1872, Gen. John A. Dix, thestrongest candidate the New York Re-publicans could put in the field, waselected Governor of that State by amajority of 53,451. In 1874 Samuel J.Tilden beat the same John A. Dix by amajority of 53,315. In the face ofthese figures will any Republican ven-ture a prediction that Tilderi will notcarry New York over Hayes P

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.

Returning Seniors, the influx ofalumni, with a large number of visitingstrangers, were the indications on Sat-lrday last that another University

anniversary week was near atland. The exercises of the week com-menced at 4 o'clock P. M. of Sunday,at which hour, despite the swelteringneat, a large audienoe gatheied in Uni-versity Hall , to hoar President Angelldeliver the

BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS.

His subject may be called, "The du-ty and obligation of all educated menand women to actively and systemati-cally engage in holding up both them-selves and others to a higher standardof life, to the highest ideul of honorboth in private and public life." Itwas one of Dr. Angell's happiest efforts,both in manner and matter, and wellcalculated to impress noble and rightsentiments on the minds of the youngmen and women just closing their college course and going out to enter uponthe active duties of life. In conclud-ing, Dr. Angell referred to the deceaseof two members of the olass, Miss Het-tie Sykes, who recently died in the in-sane asylum at Kalamazoo, from theeffects of a pistol shot; and Miss Clara

B. Woodruff, who died last winter ofconsumption.

Preceding the address the Soripturelesson was read by Dr. Cocker, and ex-oellent music was furnished by thecollege choir.

THE CONCERT.

OQ Monday evening the Senior Con-cert, which has become a feature inthe commencement season, was given.The attendance was large, and the pro-gramme good and well executed. TheGlee Club was assisted by a quartettefrom Spiel's Orchestra, of Detroit; alsoby C. H. Thompson, of Detroit, a pop-ular tenor.

CLASS DAY.

The exercises of Class-Day occurredon Tuesday, the attendance beinglarge. At ten o'clock in the forenoonthe oration was delivered and the poemrecited in University Hall. The oiatorwas B. J. Young, his subject " Isola-tion," and his effort was spoken of asappropriate and scholarly. H. S. Har-ris was poet, his subject " The Hero-Martyrs," and the poem was well received. The afternooon exercises wereheld at four o'clock, on the campus. JH. Steere read the Class History, tell-ing his hearers some things they knew,some that had been suspeotud, andsome that had the flavor of fictionC. A. Blair, was the prophet, and un-folded tke hidden mysteries of the fu-ture very much as other prophets havedone before, and probably with the sameamount of shrewd guessing. TheClass Song followed the prophecy, com-posed by W. W. Burt and sung to" Hail Columbia-" We give the words :

Hail, our Alma Mater dear !Ne'er agaiu we'll greet thee here

In one resounding chorus joined ;Thou who hast led us, day by day.Where fairest flowers decked the way:And eagerly we've plucked them, rare,Blooming fresh and free as air;Gratetul we would bind them nowIn a wreath for thy fair brow.Chorus—

Firm united we will be,Alma Mater, dear, to thee.Loud thy praises we would sound,Till they ring the world around.

Joyous years at lenth gone by.Lovely as the morning sky

Before the break of open day!When knowledge seen iu darksome

lightDawned ever clearer on the sight,When fresh instruction broad and freeBound our hearts in unity,Kindled in them one desireThat shall be our beacon Are.

Chorus—Firm united, etc.

Hail, our Alma Mater dear,Be we either far or near,

We'll proudly honor thy great name;O may the richest blessings fallUpon thy sons and daughters all.Farewell, a last, a fond farewell,E'er the music of thy bellWill awake in memoryLoyal Seventy-Six and thee.

Chorus—Firm united, etc.

The literary exercises closed with abrief address by the President of theClass.

THE SENIOR RECEPTION.

The annual Senior Reception wasgiven Tuesday evening, and was a bril-liant affair. The attendance was large,including many guests from abroad,and promenading, and dancing was en-joyed until a late hour.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

The anniversary meeting of theAlumni Association was held on Tues-day, at 3 o'clock P. M., in UniversityHall. The attendance was large, inthis respeot being a great improvementon any meeting held for many years.Another improvement was the presence,prepared for duty, of both the oratorand poet.

The orator was Prof. M. L. D'Ooge,class of '63, his subject "The Value of^Esthetic Culture in Our Education."It was an appeal for fine art culture inthe University curriculum. He re-viewed the attempts made to establishan art museum, congratulated thealumni that the Board of Regents hadtaken the incipient steps towards theerection of a library and museumbuilding,—hoping, we presume, that itmay approach a work of art. He al-so complimented H. C. Lewis, of Cold-water, for what he has done for art inthis State, and pronounced him a publicbenefactor.

The poet was D. B. Taylor, class of'67. His peem humorously called] upsome college customs, paid a tribute tothe memories of old teachers and stu-dents, especially those who had goneout to battle for their country, sacrific-ing their lives for its preservation. Inpassing he spoke of the most notableinnovations : the admission- of womenand the homeopathic medical attach-ment. As a whole his poem was wellrelished.

COMMENCEMENT.Ttie exercises of Commencement day

—the day which is the goal of all students—took place on Wednesday, at 10o'clock A. M. The elements were pro-pitious, clouds obscured the sun's per-pendicular rays, the streets were freefrom dust, and a cool breeze fanned thebrows of father, mother, brother, sister,lover, sweetheart, as they wended theirway towards the center of attractions—University Hull,—which was well filledat an early hour, save the seat* reservedfor graduates, alumni, etc. The pro-cession formed promptly at 10 in fromof the law building, swung out at thenorthwest oorner of the grounds, upState street, and through the broacwalk in front of the main entrance tothe hall, preceded by Spiel's LightGuard Band, of Detroit.

" A REPUBLICAN " writes to the Tecurnseh Herald advocating the nomination of J. Webster Childs for CongressHe says that " Hillsdale and Lenawehave been honored with the representative for many oonsecutive years," anthat Monroe had ought to be satisfiecwith Senator Christiancy (a resident oLansing). Conceding the candidate tWashtenaw, on the above ground" Republican " proceeds to locate Cutcheon's business and interests in Detroit" outside the limits of the district," anthus " claims the floor " for Childs, anbrings him out as the farmers' candidate. And now the Courier and Cammereial can " sail in." Are they foChilds or are they not? Since thfailure of Chandler to control thMichigan delegation at Cincinnati perhaps Childs will be forgiven and reoeivod again into full party commanion.

OUR NEIGHBOR, of the Ypsilanti Commereial makes very wry faces over thnomination of Hayes. He says: "ThMichigan delegation did not expresthe voice of the people of Michigan ingiving its vote for Hayes, although thvote will be gracefully acquiesced inNine-tenths of the rank and file of tinStrtte wore heart and soul the middle olast week in favor of Elaine's nomination. His nomination would have beenreceived with enthusiastic rejoicingsHis defeat caused great disappointment." Aud much more of the samisort.

THE Monroe Monitor formally nomited Hon. Human J. Redfield, late Mayor of the " Independent State," and nowthe Democratic Senator for MonroeCounty, as the candidate for Congresin this district. In a recent oonversation with Mr. Redfield that gentlemanexpressed himself pointedly and unreservedly in favor of another gentlemanwhich leads us to ask whether or no thMonitor speaks with a knowledge of hiswishes? There should be no lookingone way and rowing another,

TlIE Michigan delegation at St. Lou-is organized on Monday by appointingHon. Wm. L. Webber chairman, ancnamed the following members for posi-tions in the convention : Vice-Presi-dent, Peter White; Secretary, F. ANims; Committee on Credentials, MV. Montgomery; on Organization, J.D. Norton; on Resolutions, Wm. LBancroft; and for member of the Na-tional Committee, Edward Kanter.

ON Monday evening last C. H.Richmond, Esq., of this city, wrote usfrom St. Louis, saying : " My opinionis that Tilden will be nominated onsecond or third ballot." The resultproved his prediction well founded.Getting a majority on the first ballotthe necessary two-thirds vote was re-ceived on the second ballot.

ACCORDING to the Manchester Enter-prise, C. Walbridge, Esq., who writes P.M. after his name had a 50 foot poleraised in front of tho postoffice on Sat-urday last, from which the stars andstripes are to float Wider a Hayes andWheeler streamer. And when willPostmaster Clark imitate his " loil'example.

REPUBLICAN Congressional Conven-tions have been called to bo hold as fol-lows : Second (this) district, at AdrianAugust 8. Third district, at Albion,August 2. Fourth district, at Niles,August 8. Sixth district, at Mason,August 2. Eighth district, at SaginawCity, August 1.

A DEMOCRATIC State Convention,:or the nomination of candidates forState officers and Presidential Electors,las been called to be held in Whitney'sOpera House, Detroit, on Wednesday,August 9, at noon. This county will beentitled to send twelve delegates.

TlIE Republicans are hoping for adead-lock on the appropriation bills,and are already seeking to make capi-;al against the Democratic majority ofthe House. The country will under-stand that the House has been workingarduously and faithfully in the inter-st of economy and lower taxation, andhat the Senate has worked as industri-

ously and arduously to keep up the ap-)ropriation?, and it cannot evade its re-ponsibility by whatever inconveniences

may be caused by a dead-lock.

HURRAH lor Tilden and Reform.

Political Clipping*.Over and over again the radical pa-

pers say Rutherford B. Hayes was m.-v-er beaten. He was beaten by HenryBanning in 1872, when the two ran forCongress ; aud he was beateu in a dis-trict that had previously givon over1,000 Republican majority. —HartfordTimes.

The way to secure reform is to Beethat the different districts elect goodmen to Congress. There is where re-form will begin. We give the Presi-dency too much importance. We cannever have a good administration untilwe keep the bummers and strikers outot Congress.—New York Herald.

A Republican paper says the actionof the House, in its retrenchment, is" to cripple the government." As itsappropriations are .sufficient for nilhonest expenditures of the governmentfor a year, and as Congress will meetagain in five months, there is no dangerthat the government will be crippled.But the.action of the House tends onlyto " cripple " the thieves.—Hnrttord limit.

A correspondent of the ChicagoTribvne telegraphs from South Bend,Ind., that Schuyler Colfax heartily in-dorses the Ciuoiumtti ticket. That iswell. Let us hear now from the rest ofthe names that were on Oakes Ames'little book.— at. IMUU liepubhlum (Dein.)

The great evil of the day is Grautism,and Grantism does not necessarily diewith tho retirement of General Grant.If the whole gang of official plunder-ers are to come again into office, cloak-ed by the good repute of two honestmen, the evil will remain to fasten astronger hold upon the institutions ofthe country.—A~««> Orleans Picayune.

Mr. Carl Sohurz says of Gov. Hayesthat he was not born to be a leader,but on the contrary, requires one.This is a sound analysis of the man,and Hayes has already found his leader.It is old Simon Cameron, the Winneba-go chief.—N. Y. Sun.

It is said by some of Senator Mor-rill's friends that he personally is notftiendly to the political aspirations ofJames G. Blaine, and that is one of thestrongest reasons which have inducedhim to consider the political proprietyof declining the Treasury portfolio. Itis certain that many of Mori-ill's friendsin the Senate have strongly urged himnot to accept the Secretaryship, for thereason that his acceptance would proba-bly admit Blaine to the Senate, whereConkling and Morton are not anxiousto wolcomo him as a political co-workerduring the next four years.—BostonHerald.

The interest takon by this progressive SouthAmerican republic in our exhibition justifiesmo in giving a synopsis of the condition of thetepublic. Tho Argentine Eopublic sends usipocimeus of silver, a largo collection ofminerals, ores, crystal rock gypsum, cements,•rtifloial rnnrblo, load, mineral wators ; also,wool and hiden, and the products, salt, beof,uul tallow. Fow of our people tako notico ofho condition of our sistor republic;, henco airiof note of this interesting country may bo.nstructive.

The Argentine Republic—tho confederationif thoEio do la Plata, or Eivorof Silver, South

America—is a federal union of fourteen prov-inces and throe large territories, covering analmost unbroken plain of 1,200,000 squaremiles, with a population of about 2.000,000 in-labitants. It extends from 22 deg. south lati-.ude to tho straits of Magellan, and from 51)le t west longitude to the Andes.

l-'.aeh province has its own Legislature, courtsif justice, mid political government; but nivil,penal, and commercial laws are common to all;he provinces, codos of such laws having boenssued by tho Congress of tho confederation.

The President of the republic is elected for aorm of six years by the representatives of the>rovincoa, and is not eligible for re-election.

The Vice President, elected in the same man-ner, fills the orlico of Chairman of the Senate,but has othorwiso no political power. ThePresident is communder-iu-chief of tho troops,;uul appoints to all civil, military and judicialoflices ; but he and his ministerHareo responsiblefor their acts, and liable to impeachmont be-foro tho Senate by accusation of the House ofRepresentatives. Legislative power is vestedu a Senate, of members elected by tho provin-cial legislatures, two from each province, and aHouse of Representatives, elected by the peo-ple, and apportioned to each province accord-ing to population. The Senators hold theiroffice for nine years, and the Representativesfor three.

All this with thoir side armson and in full uniform. If this is not libortjand the extension of national courtesy to foreignore, I don't understand the term.

THE OltKilXTAOR OF THE CENTENNIAL IDEAis the Secretary, Hon. John L. Campbell, whoin suggestions, followed up by stirring, epis-tolary appeals, formed the first original thoughtsto the grand project that is now one of the won-ders of tho world. The honorable Secretary isa man of quick perceptive faculties and Boundjudgment, and a man every way worthy toreceive the praise duo nirn for his sagacity inpresenting the world with one of its moststartling beauties, and certainly one of its mos:Instructive thoughts.

Onefourth of the money invested in legitimatnewspapers would produce ene hundred timeigreater results than the circular system.

It is with extreme regret that I am now calle(upon to announce to you that Her Majesty'iGovernment haffiinally released both of thes<fugitives, Wiuslow and Brent, and set them ailiberty, thus omitting to comply with the pro-visions and requirements of the treaty underwhich extradition of fugitive crimiuals is mad<between the two Governments. Tho positionthus taken by the British Government, if ad-hered to, cannot but be regarded as the abrogation and annulment of tho article of htreaty on extradition. Under these circumstances, it will not. in my judgmont, com-port with tho dignity or self-respect of thisGovernment to make demands upon thaiGovernment for the surrender of fugitivecriminals, nor to entertain any requisition othat character from that Government under tl:treaty. It will be a cauuo of deep regret iftreaty which has been thus beneficial in itipractical operations, which has worked so weiand »o efficiently, and which, notwithstandingthe exciting and, at the same tuno, violent andpolitical disturbances of which both countrieshave been the scone during its existence, haegiven rise to no complaints on the part oeither Government against either its spirit aitx provisions, should bo abruptly termina-ted. It has tended to the protection o)society, ami to tho general interests of botlcountries. Itw violation or annulment woiililbo a retrograde stop in international inter-course. I have been anxious, and have mad<efforts to enlarge its Bcope, and to make a ne\treaty which would be a still more ciucicnagent for the punishmont and prevention ocrime ; at the same tune I have felt it my dut;todcrlino to entertain a proposition made b;Gnat Britain, pending its refusal to execute^th'existing treaty, to amend it by practically conceding by treaty tho identical conditions whiclthat Government demands under itw act oParliament.

In addition to the impossibility of the UnitciStates entering upon negotiations under themenauco of au intended violation or a refusato execute tho terms of an existing treaty,deemed it inadvisable to treat of only tho onamendment proposed by Great Britain, whi]tho United States dosires an enlargement o:the list of eriraos for which extradition may be

[From t)ic> Chicago Timed.]CBOOK'S EXPEDITION, KOHK»UI> CIIKKK OAMIO

Montana, Juno 17, via Fort Fcttcmiau, >Wyoming, June El. )

Pursuantto order, this ontire command,sxcepting 100 men, left with Maj. Furoyto defend onr wagon train, broke campin Goose Creek, at dawn on Juno 10,,nd, accompanied by the Snake and Crow

Indians, marched over forty miles thatday, and halted for the nightui MontanaTerritory.

Our whole force, including tho In-dians, was in the neighborhood of 1,200men. We had been halted about onehour, our horses unsaddled and grazing,when at 8:30 this morning tho report of(ireiirms was distinctly heard from be-hiud the northern bluffs in tho direction

f th Shiud the northern bluffs in tho directionof the canon. Soon afterward the Snakeand Crow scouts came running over tliehill to inform Crook that Sitting Bull,with his whole available force of Sioux,was advancing in quick timo to attackus in camp. Two companies of theSecond Cavalry and the samo num-ber of infantry were ordered to deployas skirmishers and support the Indianpickets. Hardly had they reached thocrest when volley after volley from theSioux announced that the tight had com-menced in earnest. From our camp we:ould see the enemy swarming in crowdsupon the higher range of bluffs in overydirection on a line of at least two milts.They were all mounted, and fired withwonderful rapidity. Maj. Randall, ourChief of Scouts, aided by Lieut. Bourko,rallied our friendly Indians and led themto attack the center of the Sioux. Thelatter received them with successive vol-leys, and, after a gallant fight, Randall'sredskins wero compelled to keep withinshelter of the lowor range of hills, thenumber of Sioux opposed to them beingoverwhelming.

Observing this state of affairs, Col.Royall ordered the first battalion of theThird Cavalry, consisting of A, E, I andM corupaniesunderCol. Mills, to advance,mounted, and charge the central bluffs,so as to drive back the enemy in that di-rection. This order was executed witha brilliancy and celerity seldom equaled,under a sweeping hostile fire, whichmado a volcano of tho plateau betweenthe lower bluffs above our camp and thehigher ones occupied by Sitting BulJ.Tlie battalion charged at full gallopwith fierce ringing cheers, halted for amoment to pour in a withering volley,and then galloped up the ascent tothe creBt of the ridge. Despite theirgreat numbers and splendid position, theSioux center broke and ran like a pacfcof wolves, taking shelter on other bluffs,1,200 yards behind, for this battleground is a succession of ridges formiles on miles. The battalion then dis-mounted and deployed as skirmishersalong the position they had carriedWhile this was being done on tho cento:and right, tho second battalion of theThird Cavalry, consisting of companieiB, D, F and L, under Col. Henrywas ordered to attack Sitting Bull'iright, which they did, driving iback even with tho Sioux centerand left. The third battalion o:the same regiment, companies C and Munder Col Van Vleit, was ordered to oc-cupy tho northern bluffs in our rear, soas to checkmate any attack from tha1

point. The fight now became generaland continued until past noon almosiwithout interruption, the Sious provingthemselves the best fighting Indians thaever fired a shot. Beaten on one ridgithey retired behind another, so that wewere compelled to keep following themup, exposing our line all the time. Fir-ing from their ponies, their shots wcr,generally a little too h 'gh uutil late inthe action—a fortnate thing for us.

At a quarter past 12 o'clock Millsbattalion, excepting one company, detached after the first charge to supporthe left, was ordered to vacate its position on the right center, and make eastward first, and then north down Rose-bud creek, through the canon, at theend of which, seven miles distant, wassituated the Sioux village. To entethe canon, the left of the hostile linehad to bo forced, and Mills orderedCompany E, of the Third, under Capt.Alex. Sutorius, to charge up the bluffand carry the position, which was speedily accomplished. The Indians, however excellent as skirmishers, havenot yet learned the art of standing a cavalry charge. Mills thenmoved down the canon rapidly towartho village, according to orders. HL,place on the bluffs above the camp wassupplied with only a few infantry, as theSecond Cavalry were detained to sustainhis movement. Crook now determinedto charge along this whole line, and forthat purpose ordered Henry's battalionto fall back and got their horses, lefsome distance in the rear. Fortunately,yitting Bull mistook this preparatorymovement for ft retreat. Henry retiresacross an exposed hollow, and the Siou?fought desperately right into his command. L company, of the Third, CaptVroom, was rear-guard, and somo meidid not hear the order. They were immediately surrounded, and almost in Lsecond fifteen of our bravo fellowslay dead and wounded on thebluff. F , I, B, and D companies of theThird instantly countercharged, and thewounded, except one man, were rescuedby Capt. Andrews and Lieut. Reynoldscommand. At that momont tho braveHenry, a most accomplished officer, whowas an Acting Brigadier during the civiltrar, was shot in the face, the ball enter-ing above tho right cheek bone and com-ing out at the left. He was mounted,as nearly all the officers wero, and was aprominent mark. His wound is dan-gerous, if not fatal. Sitting Bull nowdiscovered the advance of Mills andNoyes on the village. At least 50warriors and 100 of their ponieslay dead along the ridges. The num-ber of wounded embarrassed the Indianchief. He had most of tho killed and allof tho injured strapped to horses andcarried oft'. The Sioux then broke andran in a northwesterly direction, but de-spite all their efforts tho Snakes andCrown took thirteen scalps. Informa-tion reached Crook that the Indian vil-lage was deserted, and ho immediatelysent Capt. Nickerson, of tho staff, tocountermarch. Tins was dono very re-luctantly. Tho command faced south-ward once more. Sitting Bull fo.ught tocover the retreat of his women and chil-«ln II, which was rapidly accomplished.He also hoped to beat Crook in openfight, but tho command slept on the fieldof battle.

Our ammunition was failing, our ra-tions nearly out. The Indians couldnot then be sui prised, so it was decidedto rely on our base of supplies and re-cuperate. Gen. Crook is now satisfiedthat the Sioux can and will fight. Theyare better armed than his own soldiers.Of the latter it must bo said that bravermen neverfaced an enemy. They wouldcharge tho Sioux to the gates of hell hadthey been allowed. The action occupiedfive hours. Following a list of our killedand wounded:

D Company—Sergt. O'Donnell, se-verely wounded. I Company—Sorgt.Meagher, seriously injured; one privateslightly wounded.

Total, including Indians, ten killedand thirty wounded. Several of theslightly wounded are not mentioned.

We also lost nineteen horses killed, andthe same number more or less injured.Between 15,000 and 20,000 rounds ofammunition were fired by this command.The Sioux havo expended twice thatamount—ono cause, doubtless, of theirretreat. Thus we celebrated BunkerHill.

POLITMAL AS A FINE ART.

THE FESIASS' ESCiPE.

European Keport* of tho Escape of theConvicts from Australia.

[Dublin (June 8) Cor. Now York Herald.;]The readers of tho Herald know al-

ready that about four weeks ago a memo-rial, signed by 138 members of Parlia-ment (the great bulk of whom repre-sented English and Scottish constituen-cies), was presented to Mr. Disraeli,praying him to advise the Queen topardon the remnant of Fenian convictswho are still detained under sentencepassed in 1867 and 1868. Mr. Disraelirefused to comply with the prayer of thismemorial, alleging substantially thatthese men wero not political prisoners atall, but convicts under charges againstthe ordinary laws. There were, he said,about oleven of them soldiers who wereundergoing punishment for mutiny.Eight of those soldiers had been sent outto Australia, but two had been since lib-crated ; so there only remained six "whoaro not free in that courtry. They aroin a position very different from that ofother persons undergoing sentence ofpenal servitude." Mr. Disraeli's refusalcaused great disappointment to the IrishNationalists. But we are not concernedwith that just now. The most interest-ing feature of tho case was that at themoment when he was so doggedly refus-ing to release thoso unfortunate menthey were quite, beyond his control.They had, in fact, escaped.

Last Monday the rumor reached Dub-lin, but it was received with absolute in-credulity. Confirmation, however, camequickly from tliree distinct sources. Thonews has reached the London Times;tho Plymouth Western News, a well-informed paper on colonial topics, hadi t ; an Irish priest, stationed in the col-ony of Western Australia, at Freeman-tie, the very scene of the occurrence,had written home to his mother an ac-count of it, which is evidently truthful.

The substance of all* three narrativesis this : On Easter Monday, April 17,during the temporary absenco of thechief officers of the convict depot atFreemantle, six Fenian prisoners BUC-ceeded in withdrawing to a place about amile off. Here they changed clothes,and, getting into fast traps, which werein readiness, they drove off to Rocking-ham, a place on the sea-coast about nine-teen miles from Freenuvntle. A boatwas waiting for them, and in it they wereable to reach and get on board the Cat-alpa, an American whaler, that was lyingto twelve miles off the land. A revenuecutter came off to the whaler, but wasnot allowed to search her. And so, it ispresumed, that the prisoners whom Mr.Disraeli passionately refused to let gowere already far beyond the- clutches ofBritish law.

Here among the Nationalist partythere is great exultation, not merely fromthe escape of the prisoners, but also atthe fact that fate had beforehand giventhe haughty Premier such a slap in theface.

The New Secretary of the Treasury.Grant has gone into the Senate for a suc-

cessor to Ben Bristow, as Secretary of theTreasury. Morrill, of tiaino, was Chairman oftho Senate Committee on Appropriations, is ahumdrum party man, and has been a faithfulupholder of a faithless administration. Underhim the treasury will fall back into the old ruts,and the energetic work of Bristow, which hasgiven Grant so much trouble, will bo broughtto an end. Ho will be a far more serviceableman to ths party during the Presidential cam-paign than Bristow could havo been. Ho willuse his department as an electioneering ma-chine ; he will subserve the interests of thoparty at the expense of tho public servico ; audhe will not stir up tho opposition of tho roguesby interfering with thoir operations.

Morrill is no reformer. Ho has not soughtthat kind of a name during his long period ofservice in the Senate. The whisky thieves andthe other rings of revenue plunderers will en-joy a period of rest during the remainder ofGrant's administration. Nor will Morrill bor-row any trouble from the cry for retrenchmentand economy. These are not matters in whichho has concerned himself as a Senator, or asChairman of the Committee on Appropriations.Nor will Morrill have anything of consequenceto put out or suggest in the way of financialpolicy. In short, the machine, as a whole, willrun in his hands very much as it ran in thoseof Boutwoll.

With the Treasury Department undor Mor-rill, the Interior under Zach Cnandlar, thePostoftico under Jowell. aud the Wai1 andNavy Departments undor Camoron and Kobe-son, Grant has a working Cabinet for theelection, and all the powor of the Administration can now be turned, withoutobstruction, into tho service of tho partyof corruption. Bristow was an obstruc-tionist ; he irritated the President;. heattacked his friends ; ho foil foul of tho riDgswhich he net up ; ho endangered the party, andrefused to saorifieo overythin? for its sake; heattended to his proper business, and tried toperform it in a creditable way. Morrill will boa safer man. Ho will suit (iriint bottor thanBristow did : he will suit his colleagues in thoCabinet better—and ho will suit theIlennblicanparty batter; but ai for-reform aud tho profes-sions of the Cincinnati platform, wo shall Boeabout them.

Railroad Jobbers in tlie Senate.Tlie election of E. H. ltollins to the Senate

from New Hampshire adds another railroadjobber aud tool of the great corporations to thorepublican majority of that chamber.

His predecessor, Cragin, was submissiveenough' to the dictation of this interest inall his votes and action. Still ho was notTreasurer of tho Union Pacific, nor owuod byits Board of Direction, nor did he ever pay outof the funds belonging to the stock and bond-holders and the Government, 4<!4.000 for -f 75.000of worthless Littlo Rock and Fort Smith bonds,which panned into Blaine's bauds, and was used"in forty-eight hours" to rcdooiu the bond-) hohad sold in Maine.

A large part of the Republican majority inthe Senate is now composed of counsel, agents,bondholders, aud ring dependents of tho groatrailroads which woro subsidized by Congress,and havo failed to pay oven tho interest on thecapital which they received.

1 his is the Question,What does the citizen who is scrupulously

giuuding his owu expenditures mid lossouiughis luxuries, in theso days of umull proliW anddiminished incomes, think of the course of theSenato in resolutely standing in the way ofeconomy in tho expenditures of tho Govern-ment ?

Of what avail are the lino promises of theCincinnati platform if the Republican Presi-dout, Senate, and rings havo bunded togetherto defeat the economy rendered possible by thoreasonable reductions in appropriations madeby the Democratic Hou*o ?

' 11 ere is an issuo already presented for thePresidential campaign. It is economy againstcorrupt extravagance;—Bmfumge.

Kow the Republican Party lta« failedtd |K-I-|I Its Public Kiifragement*.

(Frf'ln tho New Yrrk World:]Tho men appointed to irrite the platform of

the Republican party at ("ihi'iilntitl seem tohave complied it according to tho maxim o* thodancing jester who speaks the epilogue to thesecond part of the play of " King Henry IV.,"" bate me some apd I will pay you somo, and.as most debtors do, promise, you infinitely^'Every four years the enterprising managers ofthis party come boforo tho pooplo with a newedition of tho most alluring specifics, warranted,like " Itadway's Ready Ilbliof pills," to assuageevery acho aud infirmity of the nation. It doesnot matter at all, in the Judgment of these char-latan practitioners on the public credulity, thatthe intervals between each Republican Na-tional Convention are filled up with the oponand deliberate violation of the party's solemnengagements. There is indeed nothing goldenabout the irredeemable promises of tho Repub-lican platform-builders, though in ono rospectt must be admitted that these specious engage-

ments do closely resemble the golden treewhich stood, in tho classic fable, at the portalsof Inferno, from which a twig could not boplnckod without another's coming instantly totake the vacant placf. As soon as the Repub-lican party breaks one of its promises it straight-way replaces the violated vow with a fresh as-sortmentof juggling phrases, devised especiallyfor the occasion, much as a bankrupt creditoris always ready to settle au old scoro by renew-ing his worthies* notes for the unpaid balance

If any value should be attached in this cen-tennial year to the precept* aud oxample of aRevolutionary sago like Patrick Henry, it is^lito plain that his venerablo shade, if per-mitted to revisit tho glimpses of the moon,would be exceedingly out of place at a Hayosand Wheeler "ratification meeting." " I havebut ono lamp," exclaimed tho Virginian oratorin a notable emergency, "l»y wuielamy feet ar»guided, aud that is the lamp of experience. Iknow of no way of judging of the future butby the past." He who suffers experienceto bo a lamp to his feet and a light tohis path will certainly bo guided at a safe(lintiiuco from the newly-ornamented gull-trapwhich has just been sot up at Cincinnati andsprung upon the country. He who judges ofthe future of the Republican party by its past(and it is only in the Paradise of Fools that adifferent criterion is adopted), will bo apt toniako a vory short shrift of the woak inven-tions with which it is again proposed to amusothe people, now that promising has becomeonco more " tho very air o'tho time." Lotusfor a moment turn " tho lamp of experience"upon only a fow of tho past promises of thoRepublican party, that wo may discern themeasure of faith" that should be meted out toits latest evangel.

In its national platform for tho year 18C0 theRepublican party declared that "the main-tenance inviolate of the rights of States, andespecially the rigiit of each titato to order andcontrol its own domestic institutions accordingto its owu judgment;oxchwively, is essential tothat balance of power on which tho perfectionaud endurance of our political fabric dopond."This promise tho party has kept by its " recon-struction acts" in Congress ; by tho militarydomination of Sheridan in Now Orleans ; bytho organization of tho Louisiana Legislatureat the point of the bayonet, in the mouth ofJanuary, 1875, aud, as if to cap tho climax ofits iniquity under this head, it has jnst nomi-nated as its candidate for the Vico Presidency% gentloman who counts it among kn highestmerits that ho helped to reconstitute that Legis-lature by an " adjustment" effected in a NewYork business office !

In this samo early platform the Republicansof 18C0 inveighed against "the reckless ex-travagance" of Mr. Buchanan's administration,and clamorously demanded "a rotnrn to rigideconomy aud accountability." In 1868, withevery department of the Government undertheir control, and with tho hand* of PresidentJohnson tied behind his back, they had theimpudence to reassert that "the Governmentof tho United States should be administeredwith the strictest economy, and that the cor-ruptions which have been so shamefully nursedand fostered by Andrew Johnson called loudlyfor reform." How this brazen piomiao hasbeen kept may bo read in the history of themultiplying villainies which have disgraced theadministration of President Grant, and which,beginning with Santo Domingo speculationsin naval stations and Black Friday speculationsin gold, have run through an unexampledcareer of railroad rings, whisky rings, munici-pal-improvement rings, real-estate pools, Em-ma-Mine Bcandals, Sanborn frauds auaCustom-Houso pillagings, until at last the carnival ofpublic profligacy has ended in the impeach-ment of one member of President Grant's Cabinet, and the voluntary or coerced retiremenof that Secretary upon whom the patrons o;"reform in the party " had built their evanescent and now evanished hopes.

Ia this same platform of I860 tho Republi-cans declared that they were ' ' opposed to anychange in our naturalization laws." Thispromi«e they kept by passing the act of July14> 1870, which did make changes in our nat-uralization statutes; aud subsequently (b}treaty stipulations with certain German states'they have bargained away the rights of ourGerman naturalized citizens until, in this yearof grace Ib7(i, wo find the party managers re-duced to the Humiliating necessity of declaringtheir own condemnation in the tenth plank oftheir latest platform, which pronourices it—the imperative duty of tho Government to ecmodify existing treaties with Kurope.an Govern-ments that the samt- protection Bliall be afforded t<adopted American citizens that ifl given to nativebora, aud all necessary laws be passed to ptotecemigrants in tho absence of power in the State fo:that purpose.

The " adopted American citizon" who con-fides in ttuit "promise, after his experience othe performance made under the promise o1860, will need to be supplied with instruction!how to use tho lamp of Diogones as well asPatrick neury's "lamp ol experience."

In the platform of 1808 tho Republicans de-clared that ' ' they recognized the great principies laid down in the immortal Declaration o:Independence as the true foundation of Demo-cratic Government." In the new Cincinnatiplatform they instruct Congress to inquire immediately whether thoso principles apply toMongolians, or should be restricted to men ofEuropean and African descent.

In tho platform of 1872 the Republicans do-clared for Civil Service Reform. What tkeyhave done in this direction during the last fouryoars, is pretty well Known—indeed, is so wel"known that tho political phrase-mongers hav<judged it prudent to reaffirm thoir faith iu thisbeautiful aud beneficial renovation—until thonext Presidential election is over.

In 1872 the Republicans " confidently expected that our excellent national currencywould bo perfected by a speedy resumption olspecie payments." This promise they havokept by twice inflating the volume of our papermoney, aud they now propose still further tokeep tho word of promise to the car until Jan-uary, 1879, that they may break it to the hopeof the people for an indefinite period after thatdate.

Iu 1872 the Republicans rejoiced in the"growth of peace and fraternal feelingthroughout the land." Since that date theyhave tried to push new "forco bills" throughCongress, and during the present session theyhave followed the lead of Blaino against uni-versal amnesty. Tho " bloody shirt," thoughtorn to tatters from long service, and mangyfrom contact with the scurvy political scala-wags who havo worn it to hide thoir plunder,has again beon reinstated as tho "gonfalon1'of tlIO party.

In 1872 tho Republicans favored "such ad-ditional legislation as will extend the bountyof tho Government to all our soldiers andsailors." Ot courne no »uch "additionallegislation" has been passed, and aftor BUCIIadditional legislation had been defeated by theaction of President Grant, it was iu order forthe Cincinnati Convention to declare that"tho pledges which our nation has given toour soldiers and sailors must be fulfilled."When our soldiers aro urged to "voteasthoyshot," it might bo suggested that they shouldfold these broken promises along with theirballots; seeing that they can no longer nsothe counterfeit paper as wadding for thoirbullets.

But wo are wearying tho patience of tliereader by this detailed enumeration of thecases in which the Republican party has failedto keep its public engagements. The casos,moreover, are " too numerous to mention," asthe auction bills say, aud we must abandontheir further recital to-day, with tho simple re-mark that, however true it may be, as Shako-upeare hath it. that promising ' ' opens the eyesof expectation," it is very certain that thebeatitude promised to those who "expect noth-ing " m the only kind of blessing which a Re-publican platform of tho modorn era can insurefor ita votaries. It might be well enough forII:• mli-t "to eat the air, promise-crammed,"but, a.1 that wise prinoe remarked, ' ' you can-not feed oapons so."

Hayes is HH candidate for the most impor-tant and ro»ponsiblotm-<t of the civilized world.The party that of all othors was tho ofTuprjof patriotic conviction; that commanded thofirst intellects of the country as it* champions,and that has achievements to point to in man'snoblest struggles for man, which are as richestjewels in the diadem of enlightened liborty, hasjunt groped aud crawled through oightyears of stubborn incompetency, aud now"makes the confession that Us highest coun-cils must tako refugo in littleuoss agaiu tosave it from itself. That Gov. Hayosis a respectable citizen, of average attain-monts among the politicians and rulersof tho day, as are tens of thousands of othersiu tho republic, U the simple truth, and thewhole truth respecting him. He was a bravosoldier, a faithful Congressman, who left littleolse than the record of his votes aud receiption tho pay-roll to tell that he had been a rep-resentative, aud has tlirice been chosen to thegubernational chair in his own State, an officethat in Ohio is shorn of all control of Legisla-tion and of patronage, and is a purely orna-

jf tho delegates why he ohould bo nominated,and even ex-Gov. Nbyeu, one of the most mag-netic of popular oriitors, failed in his addresspresenting the name of Hayes, forwant of somo semblance of foundationon which to fashion an inspiringKpentlb, And yet he was ««ninatcd, nnd why ?His Sttit <• did not want him, for BenWade led the vltnl partisan clement of the dele-gation for the partisan le&dor of Maino, andthose of the Ohio delegation who aimed at abetter destiny for Republicanism wero hunger-ing for ISristow. But in the conflicts of ambi-tion mediocrity was the open door to whichoach disappointment turned, and a State washeld to the support of it« owu nominal caudi-date because tho uccidont of hopeless entangle-ment among tho leading competitors premisedsu''ces3 to the one of respectablo position whowas nearest without a record. And that manwas Rutherford D. Hayos.

Tho Cincinnati Convention was like tuu coun-cils of tho lieutenants of the Macedonian chief-tain when ho surrendered his crown to de-bauchery and left them to struggle for thesuccession, Hero wore those who had beonobedient to despotism in nil its moods andcaprice", and ISlaino aud Morton and Conklingeach" claimed the scepter, combating oachother, and each resolved to fall only with hiarivals sharing Ills discomfiture.

It recalledthe Republican standard of other days, when itwas unstained by shame of the thiefand the jobber, and proposed to eroct itagain ovor the Republican altar, andagainst it the legitimate heirs to theGrant sueceesion male common and deadlywarfare.

H. A. Tremaine &(8ucce4?or« to H. W. ELLIS k CO.)

ANN ARBOR, MICH.

Rutherford I>. Hayes.The Republican candidato for President is a

respectablo citizen of Ohio, who, like thou-sands of other?, has plodded his way on in life,without sufficient poBitiveneas of character tomake enemies, or to attach tbo devotion of anygreat number of friends. He had tho goodsense not to aspire above mediocrity, and wasalways sufficiently negative to bo adopted in anemergency, in place of men of higher abilityand moro pronounced opinions. Consequentlyhe has never done anything to excito jealousyor rivalry.

Tneso qualiti«s served him efficiently atCincinnati, when tho party chiefs werebrought into sharp competition, and nei-ther could surrender to tho other without a lossof pride and position. However much theymight be opposod to each other, they were, atleast, agreed in accepting a compromise bywhich ncne of them would be elevated or de-pressed, and which all might gracefully adopt.

For these and other reasonB, we were longago convinced that Hayes would be nominated,because it was the logic of the situation. Paradoxical as it may seem, his verywesknops was hia strength in the conven-tion. Had he beon strong enough tobo KCTiounly regarded as a competitor withConkling, Morton, Bristow, or Blaine, he wouldhave shared their fate. The necessities of theparty required that tho conspicuous chiefsshould be sacrificed, and tho tall poppies werecut down without a eigli of regret.

If Hayes could be elected President, hewould bo little else than the automaton of theleaders who made tho combination at Cincin-nati. They would own him absolutely, makehis Cabinet, shape his policy, direct his nomin-ations, and control tho patronage exactly asthey now do under Grant. There would bea change of names and nothing more. Onomonosyllable substituted for another as Preeident. 'That is all.

Left to his owu feoble will and sluggish na-ture, Mr. Hayes would have the desire to doright, to discountenance open corruption, andto carry on the Government decently. But he-has neither tho capacity, nor the will, nor thepower of resistance necessary to meet the do-mands of the present time. Morton, Cameronand Conkling would take the reins in their owrhands, and drive tho machine in their own way,without the least regard to the wishes of thoman whom they made what he is.

Reform under such circumstances would beas impossible as it now is. Hayes would belittlo more than a minor sovereign iu the handsof a regency—a President in name, but not insubstance. For a time, he would Beem to beexternally an improvement on Grant; buwith his hands tied by tho machinery of partyand no sufliciont moral force to break thebonds, he would soon become the tool of hissuperiors and the instrument for executingtheir behests.

" Disappointed and Disgusted."[Boston Cor. Chicago Journal, Sep.]

It is no uee to disguise the fact, Massachusetts is sorely disappointed at the result of tinCincinnati Convention, and disgusted with tinconduct of its delegation—but more of this before I finish my letter. Here, as elsewherethere was great excitement over the resultPeople went almost crazy over the announcement of the several baliotings, and when th<word came that Hayes was nominated that excitemont suddenly subsided into an expressioiof disappointment that was almost painful Ubehold. Surprise aud disgust strange);intermingled on tlie faces ol thoso who hadrailed at the headquarters of tho Bristow Club,but after the epoch passea away, a feeling ofrelief found itself in the expression, "WellBlaino is Deateu, anyhow." Outside of tilBristow followers, however, there was no littl<disappointment at the defeat of Blaine. who .efriends had made such a tenacious and honor-able fight up to the last moment. Curses woreheaped on the heads of Conkling and Cam-eron, and the air was filled with anathemagenerally.

I N 1819 Prince Torlonia, tho Romanbanker, advanced 200,000 francs to aNeapolitan on a diamond so large anlimpid and piercing in the polish of itemany faces that none bnt the keenestconnoisseur could distinguish it fromthe famous "Regen t . " At the Hot<lDrouot, in Paris, Hie self-same "prec-ious stone" was sold early in April of thisyear for twenty francs lifty centimes, orabout $i.

A CHINAMAN spoke all the English hoknew, in Indianapolis, tho other dav,and was lined $7 for profanity.
