A good story is told of ex-
Governor Foote, of Tennessee.
1t appears that in 1860 the pres
cnt Mrs. Foote was the, widow
Smiley, rich, accomplished, in
the prime Of life, and a general
fayorite in society. Beaux
came from far and near, and
Mrs. Smiley was never at want
for a desirable escort. One day
she requested the then Cover
ncr Of Tennessee, Isham @.
Harris, to call at her hotel. The
two were old friends, and the
interview was very pleasant, in
deed, though it was some time
before the charming widow en-
lightened the Governor as 10
her object in sending for him.
At length she remarked: Coy
crDor, what do You think of my
marrying Ex-Governor Foote?'
MADAM" he replied, q should
say you had taken leave of
your senses before such a thing
would be possible" Two weeks
later he was invited to the we'd
ding.

The attention of the whole country is
Just now fixed on this years political
canvass in Ohio. Heretofore the infu-
ence and money of Eastern capitalists
have been divided on Pennsylvania and
Ohio; but now as the latter State alone
elects in October, the entire avalanche of
Eastern influence will be thrown solely
into Ohio. IL the result here is a Repub-
lican victory, they will feel that the cur
rent has been set in direction that can
not be changed and will have no fear Of
losing Pennsylvania in November. But
the feeling in the East is against the
candidacy of Ben Wade. They want
man whose character is less notorious.
They know that inevitable defeat would
attend such a candidate. Hence the
New York Times sends out the following
words Of admonition The fall election
in Ohio will be an event of so much con-
sequence that even now, although we
can scarcely say that the winter is over,
the Republicans ought to devote unusual
attention to it. The preparations for the
canvass cannot be too thorough or ex-
haustive. The exact condition of the
party in Ohio, should be ascertained, and
every weak point should be strengthened.
We need scarcely enlarge upon the duty
of choosing, as the Republican candidate
for Governor, the strongest man con-
nected with the party in the whole State.
Mr.. Wade has been talked OF, chiefly ON
account of his merits as an old war
horse" II appears to us however, that
old warehouses are not fetching a very
good price in the market just now. We
may even say that they are at a dis
count, and that people decline to accept
one even as gift. The Republicans
ought to, and doubtless will,
pick out stronger man than Mr..
Wade-a man Of the present day, able to
comprehend that the past ten years
have not passed over without producing
decided changes in public opinion ON
any momentous subject. The struggle
in Ohio will be a most important prelude
to the Presidential campaign. II the
Democrats lose the State it will be fatal
to their chances of winning on the larger
field, while a Republican defeat would
be by no means ruinous to our party.
But il would be heavy blow and sore
discouragement, and we ought not To be

4 Mid Est ssssafe.

Here is a mild estimate OF the Presi-
dents qualifications for third term. IL
is from the Boston Courier; A President
who takes gifts, who sits aloft, thwarting
the will of the people, and dreams OF an
indefinite extension Of his lease OF power
through the continuance of anarchy in
the southern half of the Union, should be
ineligible even 10 second term. Free
dom itself is worthless without order and
an honest, intelligent national admins
tration. Grant has never had Cabinet
capable of administering the affairs Of a
great government. lie has had an un-
eonquerable aversion TO anybody bigger
than head clerk. The personnel Of the
government Of the smallest state in
Europe would put ours to blush.

and continues: 1.-THE Belgian Government
is best aware of the Parlism..:.ry diff.
heulties In the way Of compliance, but il
must at the same time be convinced that the
first thing to be done is TO recognize the
necessity Of afording some redress, whereas
the examination into the difficulties is of
secondary importance. The consideration
Of the means to prevent intrigues against
nelgbboring States interests equally all the
powers which strive for general peace and
good relations Il is TO be hoped that Bel
gium will follow the example Of Germany
aud endeayor to obtain an alteration of her
laws, thus giving fresh proof Of the value
she attaches to good relations with Germany
should the effort fail, the public view Of the
question will nevertheless be clearer, aud
an understanding will be brought about be-
tween all the interested States. Germany
has not sought TO interfere with Belgium's
internal affairs. Her object has been TO
prevent foreign intervention in her own"

special obligations Belgium is under 10 the

neutral position. The Berlin National Gdsstie
