INDIANAPOLIS proposes to'impose a city- license upon saloon-keepers, in order to aid the city in méeting its fimancial obligations. ' The Telegraph favors the enactment of an ordirance for that purpose, but expresses a hope that sufficient time may be granted to enable saloonists who may not feel disposed to operate under a city license to wind up their business with‘out entirely losing the money paid for a county license.

. SENATOR MORTON has, after all, something upon which to congratulate himself.. The Indianapolis Sentinel will now probably no longer. adorn its editorial columns with those highly inferesting details of the “war governor's” cow feed. Those gigantic tables of startling figures doubtless contained “mighty interesting” reading for the masses, but itis hardly probable that the Bishop will be pressed for a second edition, s

" THE DEMOCRATS of Allen county last Saturday nominated T.J. Foster and C. B. Austin for Representatives, Ed. O'Royrke for Judge of the Circuit ‘Court, Chiarles A. Manson for Sheriff, Fred. Schmetzer for Treasurer. The ‘nomination of Mr. O'Rourke for Judge ‘we deem a most excellent one. *He is a young man of superior ability, and we predict for him an enviable reputation as an able and upright Judge.

TmoMas, of the Vincennes Sun, speculating upon the probable action of the St. Louis Convention, predicts that “on the first hauoz Mr. Hendricks will receive three hund and sixty votes, and the remainder will be divided between Tilden, Bayard, Allen and Hancock, Tilden being next to Hendricks. On the second ballot it - is chiefly expected that Ohio and Pennsylvania will change to Hendricks, making his vote four hundred and ~sixty-two, being thirty less than necessary to nominate. The friends of Governor Hendricks, who claim to be fally posted in regard to this matter, claim that the other thirty votes can be secured in the second ballot when it is discovered that Ohio and Pennw wheeled into ‘line for " This is & very agreeable calcu“ation, but we wouldn't advise any‘body tobetonit. f 5l

- HAYES AND WHEELER. . The Cincinnati convention has furnished new evidence that men of decided “ability and of national reputation cannot cope successfully with those Tucky characters in American politics who are suddenly elevated to ‘prominence by virtue of their. disconnection with important deeds or the achievement of decisive = results. Blaine, Morton and Bristow are noted ‘men. They have figured conspicu- ' ously in the affairs of the nation. Their ability is freely conceded. They were genuine favorites of ‘their respective supportérs. Blaine had the largest following; it was Blaine against the field. The envy of Morfon and Conkling was too great to countenance the success of Blaine; the jealousy between Conkling and Morton was too marked to admit of the nomination of either. The Bristow “reform element” could not support Blaine; it could not consistently be transferred to Morton or Conkling. = What, then, could be more natural than the nomination of .Gov. Hayes?' /He was presented by Ohio; lie possessed i an eminent degree the:elements of a compromise candidate., He had been in public life without making a record that requires either .explanation or justification. "He never originated a measure of public importance nor delivered a speech that attracted “national attention.. His reputation is good; his character unassailable.. If but little can be said in his favor, still less can be said against him. , The truth is, Mr. Hayes is both a strong and a weak candidate. He is strong in consequence of his modiocrity and comparative obscurity, He has done nothing to offend any member of his party. He is one of those easy-going, mild-mannered individuals who possess the happy faculty of going through the world without crossing anybody’s way. A faithful party man, he always followed the path marked out by bolder and more cour‘ageous leaders. When disagreements arose he observed stoic silence. e was content to let others do the fighting; and to artay himself on the winning side, after the disturbance had fully subsided. With the “truly loyal” portion of the republican party these qualities will greatly commend him to their favor. T .. But Mr. Hayes will not— (provided, always, the St. Louis convention does not commit a’blunder)—prove a strong candidate with that important element which, in our judgment, is destined to determine the result of the ‘November election. We have reference to the thousands of intelligent, influential and. determined independent voters scattered all over the country, who will vote for no onein whom they cannot recognize a bold, fearless and determined advocate of thoroughgoing administrative reform. To this element Gov. Hayes can give no assurance that will lead them to his support. There is absolutely nothing in ‘his public career that points to him as a reformer. He lacks bold aggressiveness to grapple with the determined fellows who' constitute what. is termed the machine politicians. He is neither a Bristow nor a Tilden.— While he would doubtless prefer being surrounded by honest men, he would not have the pluek to encounter the opposition and ill-will of the political ringmasters who control the machinery of the dominant party.

Of Mr. Wheeler it is needless to speak at length. - He is a man of very fair ability and,’so far as we know, of honest- intentions. . The worst that can be said against him.is, that he has been the steadfast supporter of railroad subsidies and land grants. The most creditable act of his congressional career is his conduct in the adiustment af tho Loaistald qitgculties. In! that matter he rose above the partisan and proved: himself a discreet, ‘conscientious and fair-minded legislator. o = {

‘lt devolves upon the St. Louis convention to determine whether the ticket nominated at Cincinnati shall be one of strength or of weakness. With the right man at the head of the democratic ticket, Hayes’ weak points will be made so conspicuously apparent as to leave no doubt of the result. We have the material to defeat Hayes and Wheeler; it is only a question whether the representatives of the party have the sagacity to avail thiemselves of it. - o , ’

THE DEEALB DEMOCRACY.

The Democrats of DeKalb county met in convention at Auburn on the 10th inst. C. A. O; McClellan officiated as chairman. Dr. W.H. Madden, of mear Butler, was nominated for Representative ; ex-commissiouer Daniel Gonser, of Smithfield, for Treasurer; J. A. McClure, of Butler twp., for Sheriff; Michael Boland, of . Cerunna, for Recorder; J. J. Van Auken for Surveyor, and G. H. Dunean, A. D. Goetsehius and B. F. Blair for county -commissioners. The ticket is regarded a strong one, and as the Democrats have an undoubted majority in. DeKalb county there: ought to be no doubt of its trinmphant election next Ootobes., - i -

The resolutions adopted by the convention re-affirma the State platform; recommend Gov. Hendricks for President and Freeman Kelley for Congress; favor mass = county comventions; recoramend the holding of judicial and. senatorial conventions at Auburn at some future day, and discountenance the canvassing of aspirants for nominations, © - . y

It was a subject of universal remark at Cincinnati -that in that great Convention of 1,512 Delegates and Alternates there was not an intoxicated man.—Dayton Journal. S :

It is a well-known fact that the republican party is the party of Temperance. The bar-keepers at the various Cincinnati hotels, whose .arms are still tired from shaking up lemonades, will testify fo this. A great many Delegates seemed to be suffering from loss of sleep daring the Convention, but nebody was drunk.—Cincinnati Enquirer, = P 2

The Western Democracy would be content with a ticket which would place Hendricks first and Tilden for thesecond place. It would | thus prove representative in every respect. To reverse it would place a minority of ;lllg. party in advance.—Franklin Her-

Tae Baxxer 'is not partieular whether the ticket reads Hendricks and Tilden or Tilden and Hendricks. Either will answer, . . :

LET US HAVE MEN OF ABILITY, 'THE BANNER ftransfers to_ its €olumns, with more than ordinary pleasure, the -following extiact from a leading editorial in the Indianapolis Sentinel. -We cordially endorse the sentiments enunciated therein: * °

The country is weary of mere nobodies in the Presidential ehair. Men' of character and reputation is the demand of the hour. The country hashad enough of such men at the head of affairs. The management of our complieated finances, so ‘oppressive to the country, by reason of the incapacity of its administration, which has been conducted by imbecility. instead of wisdom, loudly demands statesmanship at the helm. Every subordinate department must be filled with men of like character. A ‘weak, hon-’ est nobody in the -Presidential chair is the opportunity of reckless, unscrupulous and ambitious men. The worst elements of .the republican party, would dictate and control Hayes if elected President. Either of the men who were set aside would have possessed enough individuality to refuse such, control, bad as their own administration might have been. Ng such mistake must be made at St. Louis. No unheard-of man, :Lfmbolized m. popular.phrase as the dark horse, must for’a moment be thought of. - Let the representatives of the party at once ‘determine:at St; Louis that they are not called there simply as the champions of some man, but to select the best and most capable man of the party for the Presidency of the nation, and the. people will ratify their work with an overwhelming majority. _ If the delegates to the. St. Louis convention will be governed by such considerations, the Democracy will be furnished a ticket .of which-every member of the, party will have reason to feel proud.- . L ]

THE CONTESTANTS of the will o# the late A. T. Stewart have.made their first move on ‘the property of the millionaire. They are Turneys and Baileys, numbering seventeen, | and claim to be collateral relatives of the full blood, heirs-at-law and next of kin of the decedent. Their petition, presented ‘to the Surrogate of the county of New York, alleges that the document purporting to'be the will of | Mr. Stewart was procured by the undue influence of Henry Hilton or some “ other-person unknown to the pdﬁ'itio‘h- | ers; that the ducument was presented for probate hastily and seeretly in the night of day of’ dg{ceased’s funeral; that no citation was issued to the petitioners or to the Attorxiey General of the State, as required by law, and that no opportunity was given to examine the witnesses to the alleged will or to request that other witnesses be called. Wherefore they request that the so-called will and its codicils be declared void, and be revoked, vacated and set aside. The Surrogate has issued an order on the executors, devisees and legatees to appear before him June 15, to show cause why the prayer of the petitioners should not be granted. The lawyers.are going to have a good thing out of. this—the contestants having ample meéans to prosecute their claim and.the will side having Stewart’s immense fortune to resist. 8 s 1

-Hon. Charles 11. Reeve, of Plymouth, who renounced his allegiance to the Democracy some years ago, and whose commpnications were deemed g 0 heretieal and dangerous by the LaPorte Argus, that it refused to publish them, has been nominated for the State Senate by the Democrats of Marshal and Fulton counties; and this, too, in face of the fact that Char‘ley has never shown dny sorrow or professed any repentance for his sin ‘against the party.—LaPorte Herald. What does this ‘prove? Sinply, that the Democrats of that Senatorial District are not the hide-bound Bourbons "which republican papers would have their readers believe them to be. Charley Reeve is a man of acknowl--edged ability and of sterling integrity. ITe is an independent thinker, and a fearless defender of what hé conceives to be. right and proper. Like. everybndy olee, hie-1s 11able to take a wrong chute once in a while; but there are good reasons for the belief that he will prove a useful member of the Indiana Senate. A few original, inde“pendent thinkers like Charley Reeve ‘will not come amiss in our legislative 'assemblies. :

- Ry, The Supreme Court Troubles.

: Aspecial dispateh to the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated Indianapolis, June 16, says: “An adjourned meeting of the Democratic Central Committee was held in the Senate Chamber to-day to take action in regard to _the Siuipreme Court imbroglio. Several distinguish,ed Democrats from out counties met with the committee. A resolution was adopted ‘giving Judge Pettit the | grand bounce and declaring a vacan‘cy from his District on the State ticket because of his abandonment of the democratic party and his childish vow to vote the republican tieket, and of his disgraceful conduct at Lafayette a few weeks since. At the request of Judges Buskirk, Worden and Downey a - committee: consisting of Messrs. Wadsworth, Lyle and Scott, was appointed to investigate the accounts of the Supreme Court, and report to another meeting of the Central Committee, to'be held July 6th. Arrangements .were made for an organized raid on St. Louis on the 23d inst. in the interest of Gov. Hendricks.” - -

I EARLY conventions are net always productive of the most good. If the State Convention had ‘not been held until now the party would have been saved the embarrassment of having to reconstruct a portion of the State ticket. = Grave charges have recently come up against the Judges of the Supreme Court who are candidates upon the democratic ticket. It has come with such force upon/them that they must, either resign or be forced off the ticket and new and honest men put in their places.—Rochester Sentinel. ? ' e

Early conventions are an unmiti-

gated nuisance. They do nobody any good except professivnal | politicians who vegetate on political excitement. No State ought to have a campaign of greater length than three imonths, at farthest. 'We hope to see a reform-in this respect, in the near future. = -

The Demuerats will not have the support of Pomeroy’s Democrat if Tilden is nominated for President. “Brick promises a bitter,opposition to him, before and after nomination.”—~South Bend Register, . - P 2-giaeq w

- The opposition of such blatherskites as Brick Pomeroy is always creditable to -a public ' man, Abové all things that commend Tilden to our respect and confidence -is the fact that his most virulent : opponents are to bel found among the Brick Ppietoys and the New York canal thieves, G

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. i iv”WM D. C., Tuze 16, 181& - = (EBO POLITICAL. _ Before this reaches you, the question of who is to be the republican candidate for President will have been answered. The excitement here now is very great among men of both parties, the Democrats being anxious to know whom they have to fight. As regards the St. Louis nomination, it isa very noticeable fact that the opposition to the nomination of Governor Tilden, which formerly found expression ‘herg, has almost entirely ceased. Men, who, a few weeks ago, were un-. willing to admit the possibility of Tilden’s nomination; inform you now that it is quite possible. There is hardly a day passes that some journal, | in the West #and Southwest, does not announce its advocacy of Tilden, which formerly opposed him. And there is no evidence of his losing’ strength anywhere. The New York Herald, speaking of the remarkable growth of Tilden sentiment, says that it is owing largely to the opposition made to him in his own State. The Sun and T'ribune take the same view, agreeing that the fact that the Tweed -and Canal Ring men- are fighting Tilden is accepted by the country as an evidence that the corrupt element eof the democratic party in New York, over which he has gained a complete ascendancy, will have no voice or influence in the management of affairs | if Tilden is elected. = Some of the lead-ing-journals of the South are supporting Tilden on that very ground; and it cannot be doubted that the efforts to defeat him, on the part of the New York corruptionists, have resulted in greatly increasing his strength.

' _THE BLACK HILLS, ° - Of éourgé accounts will differ as to’ the auriferous character of the Black Hills, and -t is difficult to form any accurate judgment on that point. Mr. Jenney, who was sent out by the Government, last year, to examine the region from a geological standpoint, reported in substance that while gold could not be picked up by thé shovelful, it yet could be found in paying quantities in certain parts of the hills, Hundreds and perhaps thousands of persons have undoubtedly gone to that locality under the supposition that they would be able to make their “etarnal fortins” in a few weeks, and have been, grievously disappointed. Not only have they been disappointed in not finding the precious metal in large quantities, but they have been obliged to run the gauntlet of large bands of hostile Sioux, who ‘have laid in wait for them witlug view of obtaining scalp locks. Hundreds have already been murdered by the Sioux; and it is quite probable that hixhdre‘ds more will meet with violent deaths in endeavoring. to get away from the land which.they once imagined was an Eldorado. Apropos of this,iwe give an extract from a'létter recently received in this city from an old miner, which puts the situation in the Black Hills as regards their capability for gold production in quite a favorable_light. ,The writer reports “the Black Hills a success, and says he is where the boys are taking out gold by the pound. He was at Deadwood on the 21st of May. Dr. Overman is recorder of Deadwood’ and Whitewood, and reports the country good, with a population of from 4,000:to 5,000. A large party has started to:prospect the Big Horn mountajns. The Montana boys say that Deadwood will beat Alder Gulch. I don’t believe it can, as it was the best paying guleh on record, and was worked ’for‘ twenty miles.” It is a little singular that the writer makes no allusion to Indian hostilities. o }

. REPUBLICAN HARMONY., The Washington Star has the following: “It strikes us that the republican factions, in ‘their .zeal for their own particular candidate, and their efforts to kill off the rival republican candidates, are manufacturing considerable campaign material

for their adversaries. Thus we have the curious spectacle presented of republican papers laboring to prove that Mr. Blaine is a shallow trickster, corruptly mixed “up with-land-jobs and subsidies; that Mr, Bristow is a Jonathan Wild, detective'candidate,

whose war record- consisted in his running away from the battle-field at Fort Donelson after the bursting of a shell near him, though heé was not wounded; that Mr, Morton ‘is bad in morals and a demagogue in politieg; that Mr. Conkling is a vain, pompous, empty-headeéd aristocrat, and hater of the poor people; that Mr. Washburne is a hypocrite, pretending to war upon jobs ‘and subsidies, while taking bribes from the Trans-continental railway company; that Mr. Hayes is no better than he should be; and so on through the list. In fact the republican"papers 80 much surpass their opposition cotemporaries in-the fury of their assaults upon the entire field of possible republican candidates, that the democratic papers shrewdly content themselves with maintaining a post of observation, in the back ground and egging on their heatéd adversaries to self-destruction in this Kilkenny fight. - It:must be an amusing spectacle for the lookers on.”

AREA AND CONDITION OF COTTON. "The June returns of the Department of Agriculture indicate a slight reduction of the area in cotton. The largest local reduction’ of area has been in Louisiana, caused by overflow and wet weather in the planting season; the next largest is in Tennessee, where the season has been cold and wet. In certain districts 1n Texas there has been an effort to.substitate corn fer cotton, but in onefourth of the counties there has been -8 positive increase, and in nearly half the remainder no decrease, while the enlargemeut of the total area of arable crops is rapidly increasing.

GENERAL ITEMS,

The sixteenth annual meeting of the National 'E\ducut.ional Association will be held ih Baltimore, beginning July 10 and|centinuing thrée days. The time will be spent in reading essays on educational topics, and discussing the various questions germane to the general subject of education. . In Dawson county, Nebraska, last Saturday, Deputy Sheriff Smith,.in company with another man, attempted to arrest one Howell ‘at his homestead, when upoxr entering the house. Howell shot, instagtly killing Smith and ‘seriously woudgding his ‘companion. Howell was taken from the Plum Creek jail that night and hung by a mob. g

~The suicide of the late Sultan of Turkey is xpt believed by many on this as well” as on the other side of the ocean. Several -of. his predecessors were put to death, and tlie matter put to the world not as it existed. It will require stronger proof than has yet been' given. to convince the world that Abdul-Aziz committed suicide by opening the veins of his arms with a pdir of scissors. . A Tondon telegram.dated June 17, says Barr, the overseer of the woolen works at Ayr, where the twenty-four: women lost their lives, and who wase himself burned to death, locked the door of the room in which the women were, thinking that the alarm of fire was false.. A :girl who jumped from a window states that she fisst endeav--ored to escape by the door, but a man pushed her back. / St The President has notified Congress by special message of the near approach of the fiscal year, and the embarrassment which must ensue should it expire before the appropriation for the next year shall have been made.

. A correspondent says it is not at all improbable that most®of the North Adams (Mass.) Chinamen (the first with whom the experiment of Eltl‘Oducing Chinese labor into Massachusetts was made) will be sent back to San Francisco this summer. | The town is suffering. severely from the temporary stoppage of large manufacturing establishmeuts, and Mr. Sampson, the employer of the Chinese, feels that it may.be for the interest of the town not to re-engage his imported help, thus ehabling him to give employment to residents of the place.

A German Republican View. (From: the lilinois Staats-Zeitung, the|leading : German Independent 'Republican paper . in the Northwest,) 1 But who and what is Hayes? The fact tlrat this question will be asked by at least ninety-five out of each hundred of our readers, lies already a part of the answer. A man of great national reputation,. either in war or peace, he is not. = Millions of citizens hear his name to-day for thp first time. With no great deed, with mo leading historical event, with no memorable transaction in the Councils of the nation, with no important measure for the destiny of the public life is his name associated, | In this regard lie stands before the people of the United States as did Franklin Pierce in the year 1852, who was then,—as the phrase is, first discovered,—to be nominated as the compromise candidate. Of course, at that time the democratic party won:the election with that unknown man, and the rememberance of this has probably been looked upon by Bhose who assembled ‘at Cincinnati as a lucky omen. o e

After giving a history|of Haye_’s’ life: and services, the Staats-Zeitung goes ‘ on as follows: .. @ i

General!—Member of Congress!— Governor of the State! . It sounds ap-’ parently very well! But in none of these positior:: has Hayes earned a reputation wl 'ch penetrated far over the borders of Ohio.. Generals like ‘him, other States have by the dozen; ‘members of Congress-of his Kind it, takes sixty to make a bushel; and as regards the position of Governor, it iS only necessary to'say that it amounts to hardly more thun that of a Councillor of commerce in Germany, for the Governor; has not even the right of veto, and the.only way in which he can make a show is as a wholesale pardoner. To learn more par- | ticulars about Mr. Hages we have to seek . the aid of reliable authorities from Ohio. 'Mr. Fr. Hmssaurek must be looked upon as such. - A few days ago he wrote as follows: “Hayes is made out of the wood of which already several American Presidents have been whittled. Not obnoxious to any faction of interests, not entangled in any fights for principles, without-any sharp eorners or knots, Smooth, pleasant and plausible, he might just be, the man upon whom, after-a long and .fruitless battle, the friends of 'the leading candidates might unite.” : - - After quoting an article from the ‘Anzeiger des Westens, of St. Louis, the

Staats-Zeitung says: Lo Enough. All that is known of Hayes points to the fact that there can be 1o talk about a real honest enthusiasm. With those who, as party ‘.}ools, are subservient - to the laws of discipline, that drtificial enthusiasm will be created which consistsin deafening cheering and hurrahing, and nothing else; but the ‘independent, thinking men will remain very cool and before all things will wait and see whom the Democratic National Convention will nominate. If it is a man like Hendricks or Allen, then they” will prefer Hayes; but should the Democrats be sensible enough to nominate Tilden then we would advise no one to bet a nickel on Hayes. For the number of independent men who, though they would vote against every other Democratic candidate than Tilden, and for Hayes, but would .vote for Tilden is -very large, .especially among the Germans in ‘those Western States in which the German wyoters have the. -balance of power. Sir i “The hind legs of the Republican ticket are & little stronger than the front legs. The candidate for VicePresident has a certain national reputation as the author of the compro‘mise between the Republicans and the Democrats in Louisiana = through which the peace, at least scantily, was again restored in that State, and ‘he ‘belongs to theablest and irreproacha‘ble Repiublican members of Congress.

INDIANA NEWS ITEMS, The Grand Rapids road will sell round trip tickets froni Kendallville to the Democratic National Convention -at St. Louis, from J?ne_ 23d to 27th, for $13.00; and also July 3d and 4th, to any place on their line for one fare. - Judge. Pettit should now retire to that familiar doggery in Lafayette, ~and study over that clause of the stas .tutes which requires him as a “con‘servator of the peace,” to rally forth, loaded to the brim with. whisky, profapity “and obscenity, to assault a street 'preacher.—Columbus Democrat. " General ;ieub. Williams:ihas purchased a half interestin the Northern Indianian, of Warsaw, from Mr. Carpenter, and will shortly resume his old position as editor of that paper. He has gone to Washington for the purpose of resigning his position and settling up his accounts with the Government. fred

- A new disease has broken out among the hogs in portions of this county. They are attacked with tender or sore feet, become lame for a few days, then their joints become stiff, and in a few days more they die. |We have heard of several deaths in this (Ohio) township, from this di?ease._-—-Rockport Democrat. ; - | ZouE

The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad will give the shopmen at Ft. ‘Wayne an excursion to- Rome City on June 24th, at a very low rate. The tickets are printed, ‘“Good for employes and their families only,” and if présented by any other than an employe, will be taken up and the holder charged full fare. “

The “lien-law” of |lndiana works. sometimes very qu‘eérly, and is causing a good deal of ‘dissatisfaction. ' A few days a%o a womanq bargained with a man for the. painting of her house, and atter the work was doné_paid him in full. - Since then the dealer who sold! the man his paints has brought suit against the woman for the debt, and will pr#bably have his. elaim allowed.—Rockport Democrat.

The Lafayette Dispatch asserts that, there is- now :about $lOO,OOO of fhe Venezuela bonds hel(ﬂ by parties in Lafayette, which were purchased for 20 cents on the dollar, and that extraordinary efforts have been made by the owners to have. Venezuela forced to pay or fight.; !The inference is strong that Godlove S. Orth is the original owner in that city -of those bonds, and that they are part of his pay for his political sérvices to secure legislation to confirm the swindle by which the:money ;was to be realized on these bonds. {Stand up, Godlove, and be catechised by your neighbors at Lafayette.—Franklin Herald. Again there-is another |period in the history of Rochester and Fulton county in which" there is not a licensed liquor saloon’ within its borders. The County Commissioners’ Court adjourned on Wednesddy evening, having been in session nine days, the full limif of the law. Most of that time was occupied in/determining the fitness of the eleven!applicants for license. Every day, from the beginning of the cases until the court was forced to adjourn, the court room was filled with ladies, all the preachers of the place and many curious spectators.

~ After reading the Cincinnati Con--vention prayers the Pittsburg Leader comes to the conclusion that prayer in a convention composed of a sweltering, seheming, swearing crowd of intriguers is a farce. Correct. Bty If the Radical leaders have any idea that Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stanton and their followers will be happy over that little “plank,” they will sqon find out their mistake. Those women are not chickens to “peep” joyfully over a little mush. . il :

Mr. Bowles, forced to release one Adams; seizes another by the coat collar. Says Mr. B.: “Now for. St. Louis! Hayes would beat Bill Allen or H%— dricks easy, and Hancock with almculty; Tilden would make a dogbtfj_ul canvass, - with the chance in favoripf the Democracy; but with Judge Davis, and John Q. Adams for Vice, the country would be exposed to a reyolution.” . : e L j

The Mexico (Mo.) Intelligencer says that it is generally admitted in that State that Tilden and Hendricks would be the most available ticket that could be placed in nomination by the St. Louis convention. The Intelligencer - thinks Mr. Hendricks would not decline the second place, and that “his acceptance would make:him the next President, if‘ﬁhe ticket. should sueceed.” : bl S 8

Though there are several democratic statesmen who might be hamed whose candidacy would go far to assure-the people of the earnestness of the party it seems toj us that only one has beeil brought{ jprominently forward who has been 8o thoroughly identified with political reform as to/be able to lift the party up dinto the confidence of the people.- That man is Gov. Tilden. The feeling of the people is that the country would be.safe 1n his hands as the executive.—N. Y- Tribune.

The strength of the “Hayes and Wheeler” ticket will chiefly depend on the acts of the St. Louis Convention. The Republicans have ignored the demand of the country for administrative reform, and in this respect their ticket is weak. Should :the Democracy also disappoint the just expectations of the people, such a course would strengthen the republican cause and might lead to the election :of the Cincinnati candidates.~— Our Trepresentatives at St. Louis will remember that Rutherford B. Hayes is indebted for his present position as’ Governor of Ohio and standard-bearer of the republican party, not to the strengtly of that party nor to his own personal merits, but to the mistake committed by the Ohio Democracy in 1875. In like manner Democratic ~blunders alone can make him the next President of the United States.—BufJalo Courier. - g S AR

J A FABLE. The Beasts Choosiug a King. The Beasts, having to choose a Monarch, meét in'Convention to canvass the claims of the respective Candidates. The Courage of the Lion, the Strength of the Tiger, the Cunning of the Fox, and the Sagacity of the Elephant, were all dwelt upon, and on the Seventh Ballot the Mouse was nominated as a compromiSe Candidate. “Though,” said the party Organ next morning, “our Candidate may not be as strong ds the Lion or Tiger, his Record cannot be impeached on the ground that he has ravaged the flocks .of the Herdsman or stained his Claws with human Gore. As a Parliamen--tarian he is perhaps inferior to the Fox, but his relations with the Henroost have never challenged Investigation, ‘and, though he cannot pull down the strongest Trees, like Asia’s favorite son, the Elephant, it takes: much less to feed him.” This Announcement filled the Elephant with ‘such Enthusiasm that he resolved to take the Stump for the Mouse, ahd, waiving his trunk above his Head, he trumpeted, - “Hurrah for the Mouse!” Unhappily;in his Excitement he inadvertently stepped on the Mouse, killing him instantly. = ? e The Moral of the Above is Obvious to the Meanest capacity.~~V, ¥, World. |

. . Bristow Going to Europe. ' WASHINGTON, June 18.— Secretary’ Bristow’s resignation has been accepted, and he will probably leave the Treasury on Tuesday next. The Presideng knew long ago that Mr. Bristow: contemplated leaving the Cabinet immediately: after the Cincinnati convention, whatever the result of that convention might be. Bristow’s successor /is probably already selected, but the President has.kept his® own counsel and the name is:not known. It is Col. Bristow’s infention to leave Washington on Tuesday next, and; after a short visit at Louisville, he expects to spend some months in Eu‘rope. Mr. Bristow has been under great mental tension for two years in. the treasury department, and has been antagonizéd by so many important political influences since the whisky ring raids begun that he feels( the, need of rest before entering actively upon the duties of 'his profession: ;.
