cordially indorse and accept the facts and the
reasonings OF Mr. Hill; but, when
he comes to propose his remedies,
he will find the strongest objections to the
adoption Of his theories in practice. He pro-

statement OF these principles will show their
absurdity. The Government makes "p1etty
mesa" OF the limited duties the Constitution
now requires it to perform. To add the right to
interfere with the social habits and the personal
liberty Of the individual. would be the COM
menccnent OF anarchy that could only end in
dospotism and ruin. We will, however,
do Ar. Hill the credit to say that,
he says much that it will do most
men good to read. Many facts are stated. and
principles illustrated, by which our statesmen,
especially, would do well to profit. He mis-

Goldsmith Maids Wonderful Per

The central attraction of the day
was the trial of the Queen of the

made ready for her, and soon after
she appeared in front of the stand,
being received with cheer upon cheer
as she was driven up the stretch. -
The mare Jennie, owned by George
Ayres and driven by James Golden,
was brought out to run alongside the
Maid. After short preliminary ex.
ercise, the Maid was given the word,
and went off at an easy pace, going
to the quarter in 344 seconds--the
runner kept about two lengths in the
rear of the Maid, who made the hall
in 1.I0, and kept along easy, making
the mile in 219J. Shortly after /
o'clock, the Maid was again brought
out, and the track was again scraped
when on the first trial the word was
| given. The runner was well up tC

like shot out of gun; she reached

A Horrible Death,

A most unfortunate and horrible ac-
cident occurred on the Muskingum

morning, in the neighborhood of the
old depot. Old Gen. Nichols was run
over by an engine and instantly killed

CHASTITY and revolving manner Sunday
night he sat up with his wife, who was
lying dangerously i'll, and on Monday
morning thinking that she was past re
eovery he left his house and started for
the telegraph office at the depot, to
telegraph for son working near Sug-
ar Grove. While crossing the track,
the old man, being both deaf, and
blind IN one eye, was struck by the
tender of an engine, that was backing
out of the yard, and dragged along
the track for considerable distance
His body was torn fearfully and the
whole top of his head crushed in

didate in this-the 3d-District, took
place at Morrowtown on Tuesday last.
The Convention was fully represented
from all the counties Of the District,
and after the necessary preliminaries,
was permanently organized at one
o'clock by the choice of Judge HUI
lick, of Clermont county, as presi-
dent of the Convention. The Judge
on taking the chair made an able and
eloquent little speech, exactly applaca-
BILE to the times and the OCCASION
One Vice President from each of the
counties in the district was chosen ;
one Secretary, with one assistant sec
retary from each county, completed
the organization. The report of the
committee on permanent organization
having been made and adopted, the

were made, the report on credentials
adopted, and the report on resolutions
deIered until after the nomination

name of Col. ThOs Moore, of Hamil-
ton, Butler county; and the name of
Col. A. w. Doan, of Wilmington,

Col. Thos. Moore, in a very neat
speech, withdrew his name from the
Convention as candidate for nomi-
nation, and said he would heartily give
his support to the nominee of the
Convention. His remarks showed
that he was true Republican.
The Counties were then called and
the ballotings resulted as follows:

a Good platform to Stand Upon


The Republican State Convention
in Ohio yesterday made vast i'm
provement upon the average of plat
forms. and more especially upon the
average of Democratic platforms,
which this year have been made of un-
usually poor stuff. If the resolutions
on the currency question seem rather
flexible, they are at least pointed in
the right direction, and show healthy
condition of feeling among tie Re
publicans of that great powerful State.
The resolutions on the subjects of the
tariff, cheap transportation, intemper-
ance and its causes, the reported out
RACES at the South, and the interests
of political and public morality gener-
ally, are concise and not difficult to
understand. On a platform so sound
in the main, and so well put together
the Republicans of Ohio ought to
maintain their prestige without diff
