So far as we can learn there will
be no opposition to the renomina-
ton of Governor Hayes at the ap-
preaching State Convention. We
have for long time, been of the
opinion that the denomination of
Governor Hayes would be as unan-
imous as that of President Grant
was at Chicago, and we are particu-
larly gratified to know that this is
the case because it is significant OF
a harmony in the Republican ranks
of Ohio, which speaks volumes for
our success next October.
We also believe that Lieutenant
Governor Lee will be renominated.
lie has been a most efficient and
faithful officer and we believe he
will be renominated unanimously.
AS to other candidates for State
offices we cannot tell who will be
she lucky ones. There are quite a
number of candidates in the field,
any of whom will fill the places
they seek with dignity and i1teg-
rity.

Addresses to Mr.. Motley.

LIVERPOOL, May 31-Mr. Motley,
the new Minister OF the United
States, received the addresses ofthe
Chambers of Commerce at his
hotel this morning. liz reply to
that of the American Chamber Of
Comm cree, he returned thanks for
the welcome he had received as .
representative Of the United States.
He said it was the earnest hope and
chief wish of President Grants.
administration and of the people of
America, to retain faithful, friendly
and equitable relations with the
Government and people of Great
Britain. The happiness of the
world, the advancement of civiliza-
ton, the best hopes of humanity,
depended on the concord of all
branches of the human family,
more especially on that of two
leading nations, both connected by
personal interest, allied by blood,
addicted to commerce and to cult
vation Of the arts of peace. Mr.
Motley concluded as follows: "My
most strenuous efforts shall be de-
voted to further good understand

ship and kindly relations, in accor-
dance with the great principles of
Justice and honor. which are the
immutable and only safe, unerring
Judges in the conduct ofnations.''
In ans swer to the address of the
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce,
MIR. Motley expressed his high ap-
probation of the friendly sentiments
toward America, and assured them
that during the period of his Office
he Should endeavor to promote
good understanding between two
nations of the same race, bound
by unity of interest hitherto un-
equaled. The best and highest
purposes of both were fulfilled by
faithful friendship. The American
people and the American Govern
ment desired amicable relations
with Great Britain, on the basis of
justice and a disposition to regard
the rights and duties of both. 1t
was the earnest wish of America to
extend commerce, but the question
of free trade was beyond the limits
of his functions, it's settlement being
vested by the people in Congress.

Candidates-What the Press
Say.

there is a general desire for his
continuance on the ticket. Is de
cidedly Of the opinion that Warner
should be renominated for Treasu-
rer, but will support any other
heartily, if nominated. We have
already quoted in full what the
Republican says on this point. AS
to the other candidates the Repub-
licSn advances no opinion.
The Bryan Union Press says OF
Col. Fond for Attorney General :
"Col. Pond is a man of marked
ability, sterling integrity, and has
hosts of friends. 1t is probable
that he will be nominated. His
location is right, southeastern
Ohio. aud we trust the delegates
from Williams county will give him
the vote of this county. The north
west will probably present no can
didates for any Office
The Lancaster Gazette, on the
same subject says: ''Col. Frank B.
Pond, OF Morgan county, has been
named by his friends for the posi-
ton of candidate before the June
Republican Convention for Attor-
ney General. They say (and we
are prepared to iodorse the state

sonally acquainted with Colonel
Pond, as those with whom he has
been associated in the Legislature
for the last two sessions, his aigh
character, fine attainment and thor
ough legal knowledge are well
known. No gentlemen of his years
is more eminently fitted for the
position
The Piqua News heartily indorses
the following:
The Delaware Gazette announces
that j. c. Lee, our present Lieu
tenant Governor, will accept re-
nomination, if rendered to him by
the next State Convention. AS
Gen. Lee has made most efficient
officer, and the best presiding officer
our State Senate has ever had, we
have no doubt he will be renominat-
ed by acclamation. We should be eX-
ceedingly gratified to see both Gov.
Hayes and Gen. Lee continued for
another term. They are both gen.
tlemen Of ability, and have admins

are produced by the manner in which the tensions
are regulated. Different results may be produced

Attorney General West on Nor
gan Raid Legislation.

Condolences, says the Cleveland
Herald, and expressions of sympa-
thy are in order. A well planned
raid on the tax payers pockets has
come to grief, and the enterprising
conductors are hurt in the ''soft
parts." which tingle with the blow.
The Attorney,,General of the State,
being called by the Governor to
pronounce judgment on the Morgan
Raid legislation, has declared it
invalid, unconstitutional, and no.
wise binding on the State officers
having charge of the finances.
However honest some of those
claims may be, there can scarcely
be a question that large proper
ton of them were grossly dispro
portioned to the actual damage re-
ceived, and that the farmers and
others who suffered the damage
were not the parties. most interested
in the passage of the bill for their
relief. Farmers are not lobbyists,
and no measure ever run through
the Legislature bore the lobby mark
more plainly stamped upon it than
did this Morgan Raid legislation.
When legislative artifice failed to
compass valid enactment, all re-
gard for constitutional obligations
or legislative decency was thrown
aside, and the bill declared law in
defiance of the legislative journals
and the constitutional regulations,
which showed it to have been de
feated. hl1f H4if
Attorney General Vests opinion,
though long, can easily be summed
up in a few words. He sets out by
citing the constitutional provision
that prevents the appropriation OF
money unless in cases provided for
by some pre-existing laws, or by
the passage of the appropriation by
the concurrent vote Of two thirds of
the members elected to either
branch Of the General Assembly
In clear manner he points out that
the s'prc existing law must be one
in existence prior to the events on
which the claim is based. The law
assumed to allow the Morgan Raid
claims and appropriate money for
their payment, was passed subse-
quent to the raid out of which these
claims arise, and subsequent to the
presentation of the claims them.
selves. Hence it cannot possibly
be "pre.existing law in the sense
Of the Constitution, and cannot be a
valid law without a.two- thirds vote
of both houses. @a4 ~
The history cf the legislation is
briefly told. BY the act Of March
30, 1864, q commission, was pro
vided for to investigate the Morgan
Raid claims, but the question of the
liability of the State to pay those
claims was distinctly reserved ant
kept open and undetermined. Th'
preamble to the act Of April 80
1863, sets out with the false impli
cation that the act Of 1864 allowed
the claims, and proceeding on thi
assumption that the claims hat
already been allowed, it provides
that there may be appropriated

A young. man named David
Bradley, living in Lynn township
in this county, attempted to commit
suicide on Saturday last, in the fol

Failing to secure the affections of
his a6ored fair one, he sought re

gunpowder and gravel stones. He
had been out with his gun shooting
blackbirds, and on arriving near
the house concluded to shuttle off
this mortal coil and try the realities
of the unseen world; but his shot
were all expended, and he must find
some substitute for lead. He had
undoubtedly read the stories of
David and Goliah. and of the boy
in the old mans apple tree, and at
once resolved to try what virtue
there was in stones. So, charging
his gun with powder and good
handful of gravel-stones, he hung
his powder horn on a stump, placed
his hat and coat on another, then
looked around and took what he
supposed was farewell look upon
his home and the fields and woods,
rested the butt of his gun upon the
ground and the muzzle to his neck,
with q stick fired it off, and fell to
the ground-not dead, but badly
wounded. Some of the members
of the family. hearing the report of
the gun, looked in the direction OF
the sound and saw the young man
attempting to get up and walk
towards the stable. They hastened
to his relief, conveyed him to the
house and dispatched messenger
