REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION IN REPTILEs.-
In the November number of the American Journal
Of Science Professor ID. @. Marsh, OF ale College,
has given an interesting account OF the metsmor-
phosis of some peculiar reptiles which he obtained
10 the Rocky Moun.sins during the past summer.
The animals were caught in Lake Como, a small
brsckish sheet of water near the Pacific Railroad,
and about seven thousand feet above the sea.
They are known in that region as the fish with
legsn end by nsturalists have hitherto been placed
in the genus siredoa, and considered closely re-
lated 10 the axolou from the table-lands Of
Mexico.
On bringing the specimens to the warmer cli-
mate of New Haven, one of them soon began to
undergo remarkable change DARK spots sp-
peared on the sides aud finally extended over the
rest of the body. The fms on the back and tail
and external gls gradually disappeared, and the
animal came frequently 10 the surface of the water
for air. The body also diminished in size the
head changed in form. and the eyes became more
prominent. The mouth and tongue became much
larger, and the teeth changed in position.
During these alterations the animal made fre-
cuent efforts TO quit the water and at last escaped
as q rue sslamander, representing q different
genus and even family of reptiles from that Of
its original condition. Subsequently several other
specimens underwent the same Retsmorphosis.
during which various experiments showed that
the rapdty OF the change was greatly affected
BY variations in light and temperature, the indi-
viduals most favored in these respects having
passed through the entire Transformation in about
three weeks.
whether this species ever changes in Lake
Como and In other similar elevated regions is un-
certain but that II breeds in the sredon state,
Ike the Mexican axolot. there can be little doubt.
This unexpected metamorphosis renders 1t ex.
tremely probable that all siredons are merely
young salsmanders which have been prevented
by peculiar physical conditions from attaining
their full Developments new and interesting
point for the supporters Of Darwin.

beyond, to reap the reward he so
Justly merited. We think not only Of
his loyalty, his bravery, and his kind
ness, but we also remember his charac-
ter so pure, so strong, so con fident,
standing out like a bright beacon of
hght In the midst of so much passion
and moral darkness. We remember this
and more. But let US not forget that
while so many of our comrades have
been mustered and are sleeping we re-

Upon the close Of the regular exer-

ORLANDO MORGAN.


"a Capt. Darius Caldwell, of Ashta-
bula County, is authorItatively an
nounced as a candidate for nomination
by the Republicans of the 18th District,
for Congress. Should the captain re-
ceive the nomination, he would no
doubt ably and creditabIy represent
this District. As yet there has been
little said on the subject of the next
candidate, but as We understand it is
the intention to issue a call for a con-
Tention at 8 comparatively early day,
no doubt 8 lively interest will soo
prevail. II is understood that General
Garfield will be a candidate for re-
nomination, and win unquestionsbly
be 8 formidable competitor. Hon. Ben
Wade is the choice of sSnumber of
active Republicans, who will endesvor
TO bring him out as q candidate.

subscribe for the Campaign.

Ii last weeks issue we proposed to
issue the CHRONICLE for the campaign
from June Sd to the 10th of November
next at the low price of 65 cents-lsSs
han tie retail price Of The ,ohite paper on
which it is printed.
We would respectfully ask all good
Republicans throughout the county to
aid in extending the circulation of the
CHRONICLE. Our opponents are at work
sowing bad seed that will grow if the
ground is not occupied with good.
Nothing that was done by the energetic
Democratic Executive Committee
during the last campaign had as much
effect in producing the result of the
last State election as the scattering
broadcast of Democratic newspapers.
They are q steady agency, better than
speeches or professions. Let every
Republican who has the interest of his
party at heart take hold Immediately.

The Nation on General Gar

In the New York "Nation," of May

the late able speech of Hon. j. A. Gar

which is regarded one of the ablest pa
pers in the country, concur in the
main with Mr.. Garfield, and regards
his arguments as sound and tenable.

D1sGranchising Laws I'm
cOnstitutIOnaI.

Some of the ~wretchedly partizsr
legislation in Ohio, last winter, is
being reviewed by the Courts, and will
not stand FIRE. On Tuesday of last
week the cOnstitutionality Of the Visi-
bic Admixture law was passed upon BY
Judge WEIGH, of the Supreme Court
and the Common Pleas Judge Corwine,
Smith, Wirans, Gilmore and McKanny
in the District Court Of Champagne
Co. The four judges first named
pronounced the law unconstitutional,
but the two last named, Democrats,
dissented.
The samo court had the law distran-
chising students, under consideration,
and the six judges united in the opin-
ion that students who could vote before
the enactment of the law could still
vote. On last Friday the Visible Al
mixture law came up before the
Supreme Court of the State, and was
by it decided to be unconstitutional.
So it seems the Democratic gag, law
passed to prevent the Supreme Court
rom reaching this law this Summer,
las failed. The law having been
decided unconstitutional, all men who
lave hitherto voted can stiIl do so in
pite of the visible admixture thinkers.
Students, too, viii not be disfranchised
because they may be obliged to leave
he psternal roof 10 obtain an educs-
ion. This decision will be a bitter
i'll for the gag law Democracy.

Retrenchment---In a Horn.

A Joint resolution passed both
Houses of the Legislature to adjourn
on the 18th of May, until the 23d Of
November. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
TY-THREE DAYS of Democratic legislation
during one year. This is not bad for a
retrenchment Legislature, in view of
the fact that the longest session of a
Republican Legislature for ten years
was one hundred and twenty-seYen
days. And this was in 1861, when the
session was prolonged to provide for
the exigencies of the war-the equip
ment and support of troops, &c, &c.
The appropriation for the per diem
and mileage alone Of members and
officers, up to the present time. is one
hundred and fifteen Thousand dollars.
This does not embrace the enormous
expense for stationary, gas, car of
Halls, printing, etc. Last year the
appropriation of the Republican Legis-
lsture for the purpose similar to that
we have named was sixty thousand
dollars-s difference Of ifty-fVe thous-
and dollars in favor of the Republicans.
These facts need no comment. They
speak for themselves. S. Ohio State

the National Republican Convention,
the most significant Of which was that
of Ex-Gov. Brown, of Georgia. He
was an original Secessionist ; struggled
for the "lost cause" to the last; knew
when he was whipped; now acknowl-
