Some newspapers have related, per-
haps in jest, that several of Tom Nast's
cartoons prepared for Harper's Weekly
have been spoiled by the sudden con-
version of Senator Logan, Of Illinois,
from scowling member of the opposi-
ton to bowling Administration man.
At any rate, it is pretty evident that we
are no longer to see in HarperS Weekly
Journal of Civilization Johns dark face
and formidable mustache protruding
from behind post inadequate to con,
ceal his manly form, and yet that he
seems to rely upon for the purpose Of
Disgusting his attitude. 1t will be a
pity, though, if Matt. Morgan, the car.
icaturist for Frank Leslies paper,
should fail to illustrate the great speech
OF Logan in reply TO Sumner, in which
especially hecslled upon all the wooden
legs and crutches and skeletons pro-
duced in war to rise up to overwhelm
Sumner and bis oratory.

THE COUNTY NOMINATIONS

The Democratic Executive Committee
of Ohio county virtually resolved at their
meeting, yesterday, to refer to the peo-
pie of the county the question as to
whether nominations shall be made this
fall by popular vote or by convention.
Delegates to County Convention to
nominate candidates for the Legislature
and to appoint delegates toa Senatorial
and to a Judicial conference, are to be
chosen by popular vote on Saturday OF
next week. The delegates 30 chosen Will
meet in County Convention on the fol,
lowing Monday, aud after making the
nominations and trsnsacting the bust
ness above referred to are to determine
whether the other nominations for
county officers shall be made by popu-
lar vote or whether a new Convention
shall be called for that purpose. In
the event of ordering a popular vote to
be had for the nomination OF county
officers, the Convention will select an
Executive Committee to serve during
the ensuing campaign, but if a new
Convention is ordered that duty will be
assigned to it.
This is probably as good a compro'
mise of conflicting views as could have
been obtained under the circumstances.
1t remaing for the friends of the plan
OF nominating by popular vote to select
in each township three gentlemen
knomn to favor this system, and then
elect them as delegates to the County
Convention. We believe that this may
be very easily done, our information be.
ing that at least four out Of every
five Democratic voters in the county
favor the primary election plan of Sc
lecting candidates. The County Con-
vention that assemblies on the Oath Of
June will have no authority TO make
other nominations than for the House
of Delegates, or to transact other busi-
ness than that set forth in the resolu-
ton of the Executive Committee, and
may therefore be selected with reference
to the popular vote question alone. Let
tickets be made up in each township
favoring the reference OF the county
nominations to the popular vote and we
can scarcely doubt their election in
every township in the county.

Judge Settle.

The permanent President of the late
Grant Convention at Philadelphia owes
his sudden elevation to the combined
friendship of Louis Dent, the great
American claim lawyer. and exGov-
ernor Holden. In April, 1871, Judge
Settle was appointed Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary and Envoy Extraordinary to
Peru, and received one years salary, as
is the custom, ten thousand dollars, he
fore he lett Washington for his home in
North Carolina, where he remained
until April, 1872, when he resigned to
fix up the Grant slate in the old North
State.

THERE is little doubt that the inllu-
euce OF GRANT has been exerted against
the denomination OF CoLTAx and in ia
vor Of the selection OF HENRY WILSON.
He recognizes the justice Of the demand
which is generally expressed for a new
ticket. and is disposed to accede to it in
every case that does not touch him. lie
is as accommodating in that respect as
ARTEMuS WARD said he was in relation
10 the war and the draft. Hewas "per-
fectly willing to shed the blood of all
his own and his wiGes relatives In
this we see the characteristic selfish
ness, ingratitude and hoggishness of
GRANT. Anything-everything-is to
be sacrificed to him. Principles are
not of the slightest importance in COM
parison to that consideration.

Masks and Faces.

A nobleman once gave grand feast
to some of his friends. While his visitors
were sitting at the table, there came into
the room little lady and gentleman
most splendidly dressed, each wearing a
mask, but no bigger than children five or
six years old. The gentleman wore a
scarlet coat trimmed with gold lace, and
his large curly wig was powdered so as
TO look rs white as snow, and in his hand
he hold cooked hat. The lady had on
dress If brocade satin, trimmed with
silver spangles. She wore beautiful
little hat and feather, and held fan in
her hand. They began dancing very
gracefully, and sprang about in such a
charming way that every body was de-
lighted with these pretty well-behaved
children.
An old officer who was dirning there
suddenly took rosy apple from the Ia
BILE, and threw it between the pretty
dancers. Then there did begin scuific
and TODD. They fell upon each other
and tore each others clothes, scratching
and scrambling, till off fell mask and
head dress, and instead of two pretty
little children, two ugly monkeys stood
before the company. Every body was
surprised, yet laughed aloui; but the
old officer said: Monkeys and foolish
people manage TO look well tor time in
fine clothes, but. they soon show wha,
they are"

,r.oa TIE Cold I'LL eses.) News. Oct. is.l
The passage of the train from Reno,
yesterday morning through the burning
tunnel, the other side OF the American
Fiat will have to stand recorded as one
of the most brilliant as we'll as fortunate
dashes ever made under such >circum-
stances. Johnny Bartholomew, one OF
the best engineer that ever mounted a
locomotive, had, on this particular oc-
easion happened to change off with Char
ley Mccormick, the regular engineer OF
tho Reno" therefore was the hero OF
this occasion. There was no trusty
Waterman or any body else to give
waring Of the impending danger, and
tho train was around the curve and into
tho tunnel before the fire could be seen.
The tunnel is $50 feet in length, and
the fire being at the opposite end, there
was little time for thinking or acting,
and not enough for stopping. The deep,
red, roaring flames and dense, black
smoke were ahead, and it looked like
attempting u mad rush through To
phet, but there was no other way, the
passengers and all hands were in the
care of Johnny Bartholomew, and no
body knew it better than he. His first
impulse was to reseve the engine and
whistle down barkes, but his quick con-
clusion was that that wouldn't do, SO
with a resolutc jerk Of the lever he
threw her wide open. The Reno gave
m angry snort add rushed madly for
ward like freed racer with whlrlwind
speed through the frey mass. Johnny
held fast to the lever, closed one eye,
held his breath, and tried to think OF
some prayer rs he passed in his checks,
for he imagined he could feel the hot
rails bending like lead uader the wheels
an1 both felt and heard the blazing tim
bers and other fallen distractions on the
track being dashed aside by the trusty
cow-catcher. The women passengers
screamed, and even the stoutesthearted
men quiyered with sudden fear rs they
dashed through the fierce, hot light, but
in another instant the terrible gauntlet
was passed, and they safely slowed
down in the cool, gray morning day
light beyond.
Dirt, stones, and blazing bits of tim
Der on the com catcher, and the shower
OF burning Goals covered the train, show
ed how dangerous were thc distractions
so safely passed, yet they had rushed
through so quickly tat the paint on the
passenger coaches was not even scorch-
ed. Johnny cannot rush an engine
through that tunnel today, for every
timber throughout its entire length
burned out as clean as a sho; gun ; and
huge cavings of earth and rock render
it impossible for many days TO come.
