Grants Dry Nurse.


Hartford Times Washington Letter.
Gen. Babcock, who is here styled the Dry
Nurse, is man of force and character, but he
has renowned all individuality, in order to
keep near his master 1t is small business
for United States officer to be steward of the
White House. Gen. Babcock sits in room
the Presidents cabinet. He re-
ceives cards, and decides who snail be admit
ted and who refused audience. While thus en-
gagged messenger will come from the private
apartments of Mrs. Grant with message
The Madame wants him to see about hanging
a picture, or more tin-pans are needed for the
Kitchen, or the harnesses are out of order, or
there is some domestic affair that he must
attend to. He also has to keep close
watch upon his iege lord, for that
great man is sometimes unfit to be seen,
and Gen. Babcock must cover up and conceal
the matter. He must also be ready at mo-
ment's notice to accompany the President
upon his travels. Now, Babcock has a wife
and children. But he forsakes them all to do
his masters bidding. He grows fat and rich
in the double capacity of Presidents secretary
and steward. Speaking of Gen. B.. quite an
amusing thing happened last winter in social
life. Gen. Babcock's rank in the army is that
of major. \ distinguished officer, who Is on
frontier duty, and who ranks Major Babcock,
was visiting this city: and Mrs. Babcock
called upon the officers wife. who was staying
at the Arlington Hotel. She wrote on her
card:
GENERAL AND Mrs. pABcocK,
For Colonel and Mrs. -"
When the call was returned, the lady wrote
on her card:
GENERAL AND MRs. -,
For Major and Mrs. Babccck."

Summary OF the Statement.
Nebraska Democratic convention.

NDhlN ATtONS AND PLATFORM.
OMAHA, September 1.-THE democratic state
convention at Lincoln yesterday was the largest
democratic convention ever held in the state.
Col. j. W. Savage was nominated for Congress
and A. TuKbury for Governor. The platform
adopt declares, first, for resumption of a specie
value as the basis Of the currency; resumption
Of specie payments 5v the government as soon
as possible without disaster to the business in
terests OF the country by steadily opposing in
tstion, and for the payment of the national in
debtedness in the money Of the civilized world.
Second. For individual liberty and opposition
TO sumptuary laws; for free commerce and no
tariff, except for revenue purposes. Third. For
rigid restriction of the government, both state
and national, 70 its legitimate domain OF politi-
cal power by excluding therefrom all L ExecutiVe
and legislative inteTmeddlIng with the affairs of
society, whereby monopoles are fostered by
privileged classes and aggrandsement and indi-
vidual freedom, unnecessarily aud oppressiyely
restrained. Fourth. Ii is thought the duty Of
the state 10 protect its citizens from extOrtiOn
and unjust discrimination by chartered mo-
nopolies. Fifth. That we appreciate the bsne-
hcial influence Of railroads in developing the
resources of the country and favor liberal legis-
lation in that direction: but only on q basis OF
taxation equitable in its application both TO cit
iZeDs and corporations. Sixth. That we believe
the people are the source of all power, and that
their will and not the wishes of a mere party or
demagogues should govern and form the real
basis OF all republican governments.
John A. liberty was nominated for Secretary
Of State, Robert Jordon for State Treasurer
and Montgomery Lancaster for Attorney Gen.
eral. The convention adjourned.

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.


The board of directors OF the Chesapeake and
OHIO canal met at Annapolis yesterday, and the
president submitted the foiiowing report:
The coal tonnage and revenue Of the com.
tors shipped from Cumberland, 106, ,s7i, which
is an increase as compared with 1872 of 2.Os3
tons, and an increase over 1913 of So. 500 tons,
viZ:-Coal tonnage, August. 1872, 104 .791 tons;
August, lS73 4S,305 tons; August, 1874, 1O6, 81 /
tons. The revenue that has accrued 20 your
treasury from ali sources during the month was
S63, ,929. .S5, which shows an increase as compared
with corresponding period of 1879 of SILL 80;
do. of 1873 OF S35,I5l.04. The usual ordinary and
extraordinary expenses for operating the canal
for the past month were SII ,S67 .43, which shows
the net revenue to be SAG, COZ A."
Notwithstanding the very favorable results
OF the operations of the company for the pas
month, its tonnage and revenue have been very
seriously diminished by strike among the boat
men which occurred on the 25th, but for which
the tonnage and revenue would have exceeded
any previous month I'm IN the history of the canal.
were 925 tons per day; from the 26th TO the 3lSt
the average shipments per day were ONLY 1 1874
tons, showing the loss of tonnage attributable 70
the strike to be II, l66 tons.
he frequent recurrence of these strikes not
only reduces the revenues of this company, but
fear will compel some of the coal companies
to withdraw their trade from the canal unless
some measures are taken to prevent in the fu-
ture these frequent Interruptions. / fully ap-
preciate the difficulties In adjusting case of
this KIND, but / am confident that the main
cause can be removed by the thorough co6pera-
ton of the coal companies ana this company. l
therefore respectfully recommend that a COM
mittee of this board be appointed to confer with
the various coal companies, and to report at an
early day. L submit, however, various commu-
nications"
The recommendation of the president to ap-
point committee TO confer with the coal COM
panies was approved, and he appointed Messrs
Bannon, Biser and Watkins as the committee.
Hon. William Walsh and General Thomas j.
Mckaig appeared before the board and pre-
petitions
t1on OF tolls five cents ton on coal, and the en-
tire abolition of the toll now charged upon de-
scending boats, amounting to S408 on each
boat.
The committee appointed by the president on
the subject of the strikes will report to the
board on Thursday, 17th inst, in Baltimore, to
which date and place the board adjourned. 1t
IS stated that the action of the president and
directors OF the canal company looks to the pro-
lection of all the parties engaged in the trade
on the canal, by breaking up the middle men,
who are understood to be drawing large pOr-
ton of the profits which properly belong to the
boatmen.

little after sunrise, Martha Kelly, servant girl

tance from the house, was attacked by q colored
man and her person violated before assistance
could reach her. He had taken the precaution
to Disguise himself by p0wdering his face and
wrapping his otherwise nude body in a horse
blanket which he had taken from the COlone's
carriage house. The scoundrel was hotly pur-
sued until late in the day by both white and
colored, but without success. Joe Dorsey, sup
