w We are sorry that Senator C. N. olds
has ielt it his duty to resign his seat in the
senate. No one was more beloved, was more
respected, or whose absence will be more re-
GREETED by all parties. A gentleman in the
highest and best acceptance of the term, his
place will be difficult to fill.
RESIGNATION OF Hon. G. N. OLDs-By a
communication from this gentleman in another
column in will be seen that he has forwarded
to the government his resignation as n senator
in the Ohio legislature.
We regret that illness in the family of Mr..
Olds has compelled him to take this course.
During the recent stormy proceedings of the
legislature. Mr. Olds rendered efficient service
and proved reliable advocate of law and or
der.
Had he been permitted to have taken his
seat in the senate. the ensuing winter we
would doubtless have found him discharging
faithfully his duties and looking with an eye
single to the interests of his constituents, and
the state generally. We trust the health of
his family may be fully reinstated and he be
prepared TO enter upon the duties of either
private or public life, as occasion may demand.

The labors ef the Democratic constitutional
convention may with truth be summed up
thus:
Met!
Talked and quarrelled for 90 days!
Spent $35 900 of the peoples money!

Settled not single principle defnitr ly

There has never come under my observation
any deliberative body that evinced a better
working spirit than this convention. and if we
have not accomplished as much as we might
have done, it has been because of EE THE
CONFLICT OF OPINION; for we have
been in session hours enough to have done a
great deal of work.

The following is his letter to the President: !:
Buffalo Commercial
Ny DEAR SIR-T most respectfully tender
to you my resignation Of the Department of the
Interior, to which you did me the honor of call
ing me. This determination has not been
reached without the most serious and anxious
deliberaton
A eociousness of my peculiar temperament.
which too readily responds to causes ef excite
ment and depression, would have prompted
me in the first place to decline the offer. but
the kind manner of the appointment. accolnpa-
MED by the good wishes of the Cabinet and
backed by the pressing urgencies of friends,
made so strong an impression on me as to
leave no alternative but an acceptance.
A brief experience of the arduous labors
and onerous responsibilities, however. in con-
nection with considerations of private and
domestic nature which press with great force,
have brought me to the conclusion that n due
regard for the interest of my family and N.Y.
self, require my withdrawal. In thus dissoIv-
ing my brief official association with you. per

ance upon the patriotism, capability and worth

To this end, no effort of mine in my retire

shameless manner in which they were diddlpd
by the SaDduskiaDs in reference 10 the juno

their uniting with us, they turned their back
upon them. without even SO much as formal
apology. In consequence of the shappy
treatment received, the Milauese express fx-

SuperIatiyely Ridiculous.

The most superlatively ridiculous thing late
Iy witnessed in these parts is the action ofthe
Directors of the junction Railroad company,
in making Toledo poilat in their road, when
their charter only extends 10 Fremont
Again, BY the express letter Of their charter,
Fremont is not only made point but the ter
naia.ss of their road! Notwithsland all this,
the arrogant junction Directors have refused
to make Fremont point. except upon certain

with their hot hast in pretending to let con-
tracts from Elyria to Sandusky. before their
estimates and surveys are made.or at least com
pleted, clearly and evidently with the view to
frighten us from pushing on our road. They
understand full well the superior feasibility OF
our route over theirs and the imminent dam
ger in which they are placed. which sufficient

Of our Sandusky neighbors. Ifthe lake shore
route is really so much more feasible than ours,
as some of IFS friends SO boasfully pretend,
why such precipitation? Why not complete
their surveys and estimates, and exhibit
them to the public !? For the very best reas-
on in the world. they would look shockingy

Tomato CaaSup.

Mrs Swisshelm. in the Pttsburg Saturday
Visitor gives the f'Ilowing:
Our plan Of making catsup is to have the
tomatoes ripe aud fresh off the vines, wash
them clean in cold water, and put them right
into the kettle, crushing each one in the hand
as it dropped in; hang them over the fire and
stir them occasionally until they bpil about five
minutes; then strain, first through cullender
and next through "a seive. Get the liquid
over the fire again as soon as possible. boil,
skim, and stir while your patience will last, or
until it is reduced one half-if two-thirds, all
the better. When boiled enough, add to every
gallon of this condensed liquor two teaspoonfuls
of salt an ounce of cayenne pepper, the same
of black pepper and cloves. pint of good cider
vinegar, with any other spice the taste may
dictate. We like il best with an ounce of
mace and four of cinnamon to the gallon
Catsup prepared in this way tastes of the to-
mato and will keep a number of years. We
seldom take the trouble even to bottle our cat
sup. but just put it in Il large stone jug, sew
eral gallons together and when we want a
bottle Just shake up and pour one out, and no
matter how ii was fixed, we never could tempt
any Of it to spoil.

on this line, wellknowing that our surveys and
estimates were not and could not be got ready
for the occasion. even had they been
complete, and a fair comparison of routes had
shown that our road could be built at one

of the directors, because the location was a

The aBoobr" candidate,

Let all those who heard Judge Johnston at
the locofocos have sought in their Characters
tic style of blackguard, to prejudice the peo-
pie against. by representing him as a great
"booby." and applying sundry other apprObri-
Gus epithets to injure him.
Let it be remembered too that the Lorain
Argus not only published those contemplate
articles from the Statesman and Plain Dealer,
but put forth the following qaaint proposition
for the consideration of the voters of Lorain:
Remember there is two candidates The
one the peoples candidate-the well known
odd Chief of Cuyahoga'-the Hon. Reuben
Wood the other '6ooby Johnston, known in
the North since his nomination by the name Of
VIM. Johnston.
The question for you to decide is whether
you will vote for Rueben Wood OF "B9o5y
Johnston, alias VIM Johnston
We were glad to see Mr.. Vincent, the Ar
gus Editor, present at the meeting, and, we
shall now see whether he will dare repeat this
slang about "Booby Johnston"
since the peop'e hare heard ham. Such pusil-
attacks might pass unnoticed once.
but will now only overwhelm their author in
confusion and shame, These puny efforts by
the locofocos, to sneer down citizen, because
he once labored for living, comports very
well with the general character of their lead
ing politicians.
