CoNGREssIoNAL.--The Monroe S3n-
hneI says that "Among the candi-
dates prominently mentioned for
nomination in The Republican Con-
gressional Convention of this district,
are Hon. Geo G. Hazelton, of Grant;
Hon. II, S. Magoon, Of La Fayette !;
Hon. J. c. Holloway, Hon, John g..
Clark, of Grant; Hon. James IL.
Miner, of Richfand, and one or two
other candidates from Iowa county.
As yet, Green and Crawford have
presented no candidates. Crawford
gives ell parties to understand that
it will have no1e this time. Green
county may have namo to present
there il no telling; but whether
Green county has candidate or not,
its delegates will represent the Re-
publican party of Green county by
working to secure the best and
strongest man, let him come from
whatever section of the district he
may. The question of locality should
be secondary, but all things beng
equal il would be no more than Justice
that La Fayette, Richland, Crawford
or Green should furnish the candi-
date. This question of locality
should not, and we trust will not be
considered paramount to all other
considerations We have too much
confidence in the good sense of the
coming convention to doubt for
moment that the choice will be wise
and that we shall have live, honest
and able man, to work and vote for
in the coming political campaign.

f~JIM ASHLEY, OF Ohio

fG~J jim ASHLEY, OF Ohio, was at
one time Republican, and the most
extreme of radicals. The democratic
newspapers could find no language
bitter enough in which to denouncc
him. Then be fell lnto bad odor with
the Republican party; wanted u re-
nomination TO Congress, and failed
to get it; so became soreheaded, and
went into the Liberal movement.
Now be turns up as the probabls
Democratic nominee for Congress in
his district-the Seventh Ohio. These
facts show several things, prominent
among which are these: that some
men see no virtues in the Republican
party as soon as it ceases, because of
their misdeeds, to give them office;
and, second, that some very bad sin.
ners become very fair saints in dem
ocratie estimation, as soon as they
join that party. But really, we need
not go so far as Ohio in order to de-
duce this lesson, so long as we we

Drift of Opinion in the Wool Trade

From the Milwaukee Journal of Commerce.
We have just received from one of
the largest woolsn manufactures in
New England a letter which bears so
important a relation to the change Of
sentiment that is going on in tho
eastern wool trade with reference TO
tariff questi "a, that we venture 10

soon consumption must catch up
with tha production; but buyers have
dictated The prices and terms SO long
that scarcity will have to BE- felt
before any Improvement in price will
take place. Jobbers now buy an
article, not for its comparative intrin-
SIC value, bat for its l)w price, worth
less as the fabric may be. Skill is at
discount.

life and in some degree am SO still,
but the present tariff on wool and

and therefore the railroad companies
may safely trust him to determine
what profit they shall receive. The
very selfishness of the Granger is a
sufficient protection for Mccormick,
Nanny, the merchant, blacksmith,
wagon maker, doctor, lawyer teacher,
day laborer, and wood sawyer, and
railroad man; for the Granger cannot
prosper without all these adjuncts.--
To intimate he might do injustice
would be to sintimate dlstrust OF the
sense of rectitude among the people.
In short, Senator Young informs
the people of this Congressional Dis
trict that the people, meaning him
self and perhaps some others who are
'sub aspirants" are so identified In
interest with all other classes that we
may safely trust them, as invested
with "absolute sovereignty" to fix the
price OF everything they may sell or
buy.
Well, the Senator has Unlimited con-
fdence IN the people; nor is our con-
6dence in the people shaken. So far
the al ocates of unlimited faith in
popular justice have not risked one
cent upon their creed. What railroad
have they built or even dreamed OF
building, although they pretend that
railroad companies are becoming rich,
AMI the farmers becoming poor! In
stead of declaiming against the vii
lainy of railroad companies why do

The Bed Of the Tiber.

The proposed draining the bed of the
Tiber by diverting portion Of the
channel Of the river is likely to be ac-
complished soon. A committee Of sew.
en- has laid proposals before the NUM-
cipality, and have chosen the moment
that the subject Of the improvements
and probable alterations in the course
of the river within the city are under
discussion Five Italian names, Prince
Baldassere Odesgalchi at their head ;
the German antiquarian, DR.. Helbig,
and the American sculptor, William
Story, sign the memorial to the city
authorities.
Many precious objects of art are
known to have heen buried beneath the
muddy waters, a few of which have, from
time to time been discovered. IF the
project is carried out many more may
be found, among others perhaps the
seven-branched candlestick, brought
from the temple at Jerusalem by Titus,
or Tespasian, aud lost during the tri-
umphal procession over the Emilian
bridge. 1t was long ago said that the
bed Of the Tiber was bronze, so thickly
was it covered by the treasures that had
been thrown or fallen into the stream.
The progress of the undertaking will
be watched with intense interest by
the lovers Of art and antiquity.

The Famine i'm India.

AuC OlAtloA OSCAAduu NAaAA UAOuSSut
news from Calcutta to the Goth and
from Bombay to the 29th of December.
With respect to the threatened famine,
the Bombay Gazette says Prospects
are certainly not less hopeful than they
were week ago. The people and the
government are still anxiously, wearily
waiting for the rain which, if it does
come, will, it is said, save Benares. and
do much good in all the distressed dis
tricts. If, however, the country be fa-
vored during the next two months with
a rainfall equal to that of the winter
of 1866, what will, then, be the exact
measure Of the work to be undertaken
by the government in order to prevent
the deaths Of any of its subjects by star
vation? Various calculations have been
made Of the quantity of food that must
be stored by the end of February in
those parts Of the country which are be-
yond the reach Of the ordinary opera
tions Of the trade the latest and most
careful is one published in The Friend
Of India Of the 25th of December. The
estimate, admittedlya sanguine' one,
is that the threatened population will
not exceed 25,000,000; that the period
Of actual dcarth will extend over eight
months, from March till the end Of Oc-
tober. and that half pound of grain a
day is the minimum ration of food on
which even a Bengalee can live. Then
the old stocks Of grain and the new
crops will, it is assumed, be sufficient to
reduce the scarcity, which must be made
good by importations on private or gov
ernment account to two and half
months supply. " This means about
430, 900 tons at the rtae Of half pound
day for 25,000,O00." Private trade
is expected to contribute 200, 900 tons,
(could so much have been expected
from it if exports had been prohibited
and importers discouraged by the low.
ering ofprices p and the balance, $780,
600 tons, must be made good by govern.
ment. by the end Of January it is
probable that at least one-third Of this
supply will have been purchased and
stored. At the best, therefore, from
February to May, after which month
carriage will not be available, govern
,nent will still have to purchase and
store $50: 900 tons of food, in addition
to all they may have accomplished by
the end Of January.
A work of this kind ought not to
tax too severely the resources of the
government Of India; it certainly will
not be, in the sensational language of
The Spectator, beyond comparison the
greatest feat accomplished in the world
in fact it may, and probably will, be
accomplished without any excessive
disturbance in prices. But if no rain
falls the demands on government will
be indefinitely increased, and no meas.
ures will then be too stringent to be
adopted in order to keep the largest
possible supply Of food in the country.
