Ohio Republican Convention.

COLUMBUS, February 1.-THE Repub-
lean State Central Committee met here to-
day, and after transacting the routine bust
ness, adopted resolution in favor of ap-
pointing delegates to the national conyen-
ton at the State convention; also, that
several counties of the State choose their
central committees in the spring instead OF
fall as heretofore. This evening the COM
lnittee met again. with Republican mem
bers of the Legislature and number of
editors of Republican papers. Governor
Noyes made a speech, declaring in favor of
in favor of the nomination os William Den
nison, of Ohio, for Vice president Reso-
lutions were adopted declaring the hope
that the entire Republican party would
unite on the denomination of PresidenI
Grant, and declaring William Dennison to
be the first choice of the Republicans OF
Ohio for Vice President, and commencing
him to the Republicans of the nation. Inc
twenty-seventh Of March was chosen as inc

4 Mystery Being Cleared Up.
The Shreveport Times SAYS:

Ht NtFUIU Z tIHtS SdFo'
1t will be remembered that in November
or December last young man by the
name of Marks, who was attached to a
party engaged in surveying that portion of
the line of the Trans Continental railroad
in Sulphur bottom beyond Jefferson, disap-
peared, and no trace could be discovered,
at least at the time. The Jefferson Demo-
crat OF the sixth. however, says that al
though the body of the unfortunate young
man has never been discovered, yet 1t is
gratified to know that energetic men are
upon the track of his supposed murderers,
and, moreover, states that one is already
confined in jail, having been arrested i'll
Kansas by Mr.. George Holt. 1t seems that
the captor followed his man over 500 miles,
and safely brought him back. For pru
Dental reasons the Democrat does not feel
at liberty to say more on the subject.

The New York World saws.

Mr.. T. NJ. Rodman, of this city, has im-
ported dozen English postcards, one of
which has been sent to us. If our govern
ment intends to give us really cheap post
age, no better form can be decided upon
than correspondence cards" 1t is well
known that much Of the correspondence,
business and other, now carried on in sealed
envelopes, is of kind and brevity proper
for the back Of card. The British gov
eminent, recognizing this fact, has legalized
the use of half-penny postcard which
is four inches long by two wide, of stiff,
yellow cardboard, one side of which is ex-
clusively for the directions, and contains
the postage stamp in the upper right-hand
corner, the coat of arms of England to the
left of the stamp, above which is post
card, and below, The address only to be
written on this side. To-, the whole
being surrounded by neat border. The
presswork is in purple ink, which forms a
pleasing contrast to the color of the card.
Of course, if Congress should decide upon
this reform,it would be necessary to have
an hourly delivery in the large cities-a re-
form which would not be a bad one, even
at present.

Tobacco Tax.

This is special dispatch 10 the st. Louis
R'pujlicoa:
WASHINGTON. February I3-The tobacco
tax was settled to-day 10y the Ways and
Means Committee. by retaining the tax on
smoking tobacco, and charging that on plug
tobacco from thirty two to twenty-tour cents
a pound. The appeal of the tobacco inter-
est. especially that from Virginia for con-
solidated and uniform tax of sixteen cents
a pound, or even twenty cents, was not re
sponded to. If the tax was not made uni
form. the plug tobacco interest was very
desrous that the tax on that manufacture
should be placed much lower. They are, of
course, very much disappointed 1t was
noticeable that the high tariff members OF
the Ways and Means Committee voted
for the lowest tax on the ground that by
reducing the internal revenue, the tariff
would not necessarily undergo so much re-
vision: but the revenue reformers main
tanned that the tax ought to remain on lux
uries and taken Oft of manufactured arti-
cles. OF necessity the action OF the COM
mittee will reduce the internal revenue on
the basis Of 1871 $2,500,0O0.

Snrvcy of the Lakes,

WASHINGTON, D. c., February i4.-Ma-
jor c. b. Comstock has submitted to the
Secretary Of War communication, asking
that the appropriation to be made for the
survey of the lakes be made available on
the first Of May next. or on the passage of
the act, instead of on the first of July next.
lie states that experience has proved that
the cost Of the work in the fall months is
nearly double that done in the spring and
simmer months, and if the appropriation is
not to be used until the first of July the
work will have to be done in the fall. If
the appropriation is made available earlier,
a saving of not less than $4,000 would be
effected. The letter was sent to Congress
to-day and was referred to the Committee
on Commerce.

was saying:
