Garfikui is to he the new United States Senator from Ohio, having been nominated by the Republican Legislative Caucus by acclamation Tjik Republican State Central Committee has issued a call for the meeting of the State Convention at Indianapolis, on June 17, 18SO, to nominate a State ticket and select Presidential electors. Under the basis of representation Putnam County is entitled to eleven delegates. The call directs the chairmen of the va-

funding the outstanding debt into bonds of this character, and will re-introduce it at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Wood will oppose the passage of any law to increase the funding operations of the Government that does not reduce the rate of interest. There are some persons who believe that Mr. Wood is encouraged in his scheme by holders of large blocks of four-per-cents., as a favorable consideration of it would give this class of

bonds a vigorous boost.

It seems that there is an opinion abroad in the land that hanks arc making too much money. Here is some Washington news to the point: Senator Reck is determined to investigate the affairs of the First National Hank, of New York. He says he does not believe that nay hank can honestly make sufficient money to pay a dividend of 250 per cent.on its capital stock, us this hank has done, besides adding a great deal to its surplus. The Senator thinl s the hank was enabled to declare this extraordinary dividend because of favors received by it from the Government, and he holds that its business relations with the Government as agent for the sale of bonds, are a proper subject for investigation.

severe in bis disposition toward them. He is not charged with being in direct sympathy with them, but of leaning in that direction rather more than is agreeable to the administration, which is becoming decidedly stalwart in this particular. Emery’s commission expires January 11. He would probably have been reappointed some time ago bad Secretary Evarts given bis consent, but he has taken a good deal of stock in the charges against the Governor, and diJ much to influence the Resident in the same di-

Tin Cincinnati Commercial publishes the following special from Washington City: The anti-Grant feeling, particularly in the North, is being felt hero in a marked degree within tho past few days. The Grant men are becoming alarmed. They disclaim any intentions to force the nomination of Grant if against the better judgment of the patty. A well known Ohio Republican w ho has just arrived in the city, and who lately ran for Congress in the Fourteenth District, says that Grant is nominated the Democrats will almost certainly carry Ohio. Such testimony as this and much other of the same sort is having a dangerous effect on the third term boom. Ohio is regarded as essential to the Republican success, nnd Ohio Republicans ire in a situation

to make themselves heard.
