Postponement.-The time for the farm
ers boat ride to Put-in-Bay, has been post
poned till August 9Th The Steamer Ferris
was chartered by the Society, from agents at
Sandusky, while she was absent on trip,
and although the contract was made by the
agents in good faith, when she returned they
learned that she was already chartered for
that day. The officers of he Society were at
once informed, and it was thought best to
change the date till August ninth. There is,
perhaps, no objection to the change, except
that extended notice had already been given,
but as it is unavoidable due allowance will
be made. We hope that the result will be to
call out even larger crowd than would have
gone on the Second. The society are anxious
to have full and easy Accommodations for all,
and therefore considered it necessary to char
ter two steamers for the occasion.

REUNION OF TIE 72d o. v. !
On SATURDAY evenin,, |,

I'm Saturday evening last, a
burglar entered the residence of Mr.. James
Hiett, three miles north of town, while the
family were absent, and stole about nine dol
lars in money. There were in the house a
quantity Of jewelry and three penny-boxes,
containing money belonging to the childre1bbe-
side clothing, &c. The burglar evidently was
in search of green-backs and not trading stock.
After leaving Mr.. Hietts, he went to neigh
boris house, where the family was absent, ex-
cept little girl who had locked herself in.
He tried TO hike her 10 let him in, and also
made enquiries as to the other houses in the
neighborhood. Mr.. Hiett found handker-
chief in his house with the name Otto Pabst
marked in plain letters in one corner. This,
however, might have been stolen property, and
left by the burglar to direct suspicion to the
wrong person. This class of men is becoming
numerous, and their depredations SO frequent
that property should be made as secure as
possible.

pRESIDENTJ4T.

Those who either hope or fear that this jour
nal will be dragged or driven into discussion
of the question-"Who shall be the Repub-
"lcan candidate for President in 1S72'n may
at once relnquish their hope or dispel their
apprehension. A year is quite time enough to
be devoted to the making of President; and
the beginning of another contest soon after
one has been closed by an election is one OF
the most inveterate nuisances of American
politics We cannot realize that any practical
good is likely to result from newspaper pre-
sentation and discussion of the merits of pos
sibe candidates q full year in advance even
of q nomination; but this is a free country,
and every one does what seems right in his
own eyes. We announce our own course, with
out seeking to control that of others.
In due time, q Republican National Convention
will doubtless be called, and the States requested
to send delegates thereto and then, 1t seems
to us, a discussion of the merits of rival can
didates should more than one be suggested,
will be in order. Meantime, if the Federal
Office holders resolve to stand a little back and
let others be heard occasionally, they will
evince q becoming mOdesty and justify their
friends opinion of their good taste.
We of New York are not likely to have much
weight in the next Republican National Con-
ventiOn unless we present our own State in
better shape than she has worn for some time
past. We propose, therefore, TO pay more i'm
mediate attention to this point. We shall
doubtless have a State Convention early in
the Autumn, which will present candidates for
the State offices to be filled next November,
and endeavor so to organize the party that
Republican majority may be secured in both
Senate and Assembly. We have no doubt
that Republican Legislature can be
chosen; and we purpose to labor to
this end. Whoever makes the differences
unhappily prevailing in this City an excuse for
apathy or boiling must answer therefor to
his own conscience but, when the election is
over, should either House be lost by
bare majority, when it would have been car
ried but for boiling we shall put our finger
on the very spot where the mischief was done
and endeavor to let the public know who did
it, Faction and corruption sent Democrats to
the last Senate from the Saratoga, Clinton,
Oneida and Monroe districts; and votes may
be bought again, as votes were bought two
wears ago. 1t is due to the true men OF the
State that the culprits shall be more clearly
indicated than they were then, and we shall try
to furnish the needed information.
We repeat that, before the preferences of
our State as to Presidential candidate can be
much regarded, it is essential that we demon
strate our ability to give him her vote. After
that, our choice may be regarded by the Re-
publcans of other States with an interest
higher than that of mere curiosity.

THE NEW CAPITOL.

whether what is to be shall be as honor
cable and glorious as what has been, will
"depend not upon the magnificence of the
structure to be erected, nor upon the sOidity
"of the foundation upon which it rests, but
upon the intelligence, energy, virtue, and
patriotism of the people whose representa-
"tives shall in coming years assemble here"
This wise reflection upon the new Capitol,
whose cornerstone was laid at Albany on
Saturday, is borrowed not from Republican
newspaper, but from the address OF Gov. Hoff-
man. Good advice is cheap; but it must have
cost the Governor some effort to stand forwards
the nominal chief of the NewYOrk Democracy,
and remind the people that they cannot be saved
by granite State House so long as they send
rogues to sit in it. Mr.. Hoffman must have
remembered who made him Governor, and
must have known that his audience remem-
bered it too. He must have thought OF the
arts by which his party secured majority In
the present Legislature, and the fraud by
which the electoral vote of this State was
given to the Democratic candidate at the last
Presidential election He must have called to
mind the long roll of bills that he has just
vetoed as well as some outrageous laws which
he ought to have vetoed, but didn't. With
such a load on his memory, it needed courage
to warn the people that a new Capitol would
be of little use without new style of legis-
lators; but we must do Gov. Hoffman the
Justice to say that he performed the disagree
able task manfully and made as credtable and
dignified appearance as usual. If the whole
duty of a statesman were to talk, Mr. Hoffman
would be very nice statesman indeed.
1t is a pity that the decencies of life did not
hermit him to be little more frank, so that
he might have made the ceremonies of Satur-
day the occasion for giving counsel more per
tinent and practical than the general remarks
10 which he was obliged to conhne himself.
He might have pointed ont to the IammaDy
managers that their chance of ever taking
possession of the new Capitol is poor one
indeed unless they seize the present opportu-
nifty for new departure In local
politics. After a long course OF cheating
they have everything in New-fork un-
der absolute control. They have the
Governor; they have the Legislature they
have their great stronghold in this city
thoroughly intrenched and renovated Ihey
