- At Garrett Station, Ind, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, two chill
dren, the first born there, were recently
christened. Two thousand people at
tended, silver cups and spoons were pre-
sented, and dance and torchlight pro-
cession wound up the day. The railroad
men, who were present in large numbers
have offered $50 to the woman married
at the station.
Ex-Gov. Vance of North Carolina,
in his recent address before the South
ern historical society, related secret
incident of the war. He said that soon
after the failure of the Hampton Roads
conference, he was visited by the late
Gov. Graham, who stated to him that
many of the senators and representa-
tives of the confederate Congress and
other leading men believed that the end
of the war was near and despairing of
obtaining peace through Mr.. Davis, they
desired Mr.. Vance, as a governor OF
North Carolina, to enter into separate
terms with President Lincoln. Gov,
Vance declined to take the desired step.
The Tallahassee Sentinel, the leading
journal in Florida, gives this account OF
the condition of things in that State
Republican government has placed
Florida on the high road of prosperity.
The State is rapidly filling up with first
class settlers; the light of free schools
shines in every corner of the State /; the
laws are wise and conservative, and are
faithfully executed the counties, as a
general thing, are well organized and
prosperous lands have greatly appre.
ciated in value wise system of free
labor has given wonderful impetus 10
the agricultural interest and above all
the States, which are received in a bank
rupt condition, without money and with.
out credit, has been so honestlyand iudie-
iously managed that notwithstanding the
enormously increased expense of pro-
viding for the new order of things. the
financial condition of the State is fully
assured"

ELECTION RoosTERs. The custom of
heading favorable election returns with
triumphantly Growing ROSTERS was intro
duced during the hard cider cam
paign of 1910, and is said to have origi-
mated with the indianapolis Sentinel, of
which paper John W. Chapman was then
editor. 1t was before the days of the
telegraph, and election returns were very
slow about getting in. 1t so happened
that in some particular county in India
ma the democrats made gain over pre-
vious elections. An enthusiastic demo-
crat wrote the news to friend in Indi-
annapolis, and asked him to inform the
editor of the Sentinel, adding these sig
nifcant words, i" Tell Chapman to crow
Catching the inspiration of his second
hand correspondent, Chapman did "crow''
in the Sentinel, and as the business Of
" growing is usually done by the chan
tieleer, he brought out one of these fine
large birds at the head of his column.

North Carolina.

The later returns of the North Caro-
lima constitutional convention, make it a
little more favorable to the republicans.
The convention will assemble September
6. Of those elected SO are democrats,
certain-5S are republicans, certain, and
three are indepc ndents, The three inde-
pendents were elected in oppositiun to
regular democrats. The death of VIM
A. Graham reduces the number of DEM
ocrats to So, making them equal with the
republicans, and leaving the power of
organizing the convention with the three
independents. One of the Independents
gave written pledge to the republicans
of his district that he would act with
that party in effecting an organization.
No reliance is now placed on this pledge,
and it is generally conceded that he will
cast his vote with the democrats. Ano-
Their Independent is put down as certain
to act with the republicans, while the
third man, DIR. Ransom, of Tyrrell, is
really independent, and stands uncom-
mitted to either party. He is regarded
as a gentleman of the strictest integrity,
and beyond the reach of corrupt inAu-
ences. He is said to be somewhat inn
pulsive, and to sometimes act from pas
sion rather than conviction, but he is
above being influenced by commercial
considerations. The republicans have
reason to believe Ransom will act with
them in organizing the convention.

The Trustees Of thc Southern Railroad last
Saturday evening requested meeting of lead
ing citizens to be held to considGs. the propriety
of asking Auditor Humphreys to place levy
OF mills ON the taxduplicate of 1875. A COM
mittee Of i've, consisting of Oliver Perrin, Da-
vid sinton, " ill'am Glenn. A. d. Buhoek
and Henry Mack was appointed to wait upon
Auditor humphreys for the above purpose.
This morning Auditor Humphreys stated to
| the STAR reporter that the petition of Council
to place four mills upon the tax duplicate
would he an unlawful act on his part if he
should comply with the same, us it was In ex-
cess Of the limitations Of the statute. The City
Council have levied an aggregate per centage
of twenty mills on the real and personal prop
erty OF the city OF Cincinnati, bang au exec IS
OF four mills oyor the Limitations OF the statute
The limitations Of the statute laws allow q
maximum levy ofsl6 mills for all corporate
purposes. The Auditor therefore declines to
levy upon the tax duplicate OF 1875 a tax levy
exceeding sixteen mills. This, Auditor Hum
phreys makes it clearly understood, is net be-
cause he is acting antasopist.c to the constrnc-
tion OF the southern hallway, but only because
it Is a violation Of the laws OF Ohio.

The Exposition,


The Exposition looked up from its
Sundays rest with bright, CHEEKY
countenance this morning, and when
the doors were thrown open. fresh
crowd rushed i'll with eager faces, as
though this were their last and only
chance to see the great wonder of the
day-the- Exposition OF 1915. Every thing
is in complete order to-day, and The Wis
itors now are fully rewarded for their
pains, even those that have come from
the farthest points, by one of the finest
displays that has ever been made in this
country, and which can only be sur
passed by the Centennial in 1876.
Many of the displays this year are
grand, surprising anything of the kind
ever gotten up in this city. The pork
and tobacco TRACES N especial being rep
resented by theii leading firms in an ex-
hibition, that might we'll make our.city
proud OF them, representing, as they do,
two of the largest interests ot the Queen
City OF the West. Horticultural andArt
Halls are an exposition in themselves,
the lormer being most beautifully ar
ranged, and contain q thousand and one
varieties OF plants, many OF them being
of great rarity. The attendance so far
has been in.eXcess Of last year, and upon
Saturday, which was taken as q test
day, the gate receipts were ahead OF
those of the same day of last year.

Telegraphic Correspondence :
Opinions of Senator Alcorm and
Postmaster Pcase.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The following
is special dispatch sent by the Attor-
ney General to Governor Ames, in re-
sponse to his application for troops:
United States forces have been put
in readiness; no orders have yet been
given for them TO moye-no Proclamation
has yet been issued. Is there such an
insurrection against the State Govern.
ment as can not be put down by State
military authority, aided by all other
powers OF the Stale Government and the
aid OF true ctzens?'
"A reply wasIreceived in which Govern
or Ames made the explanation that the
pending question was one of race, and
he still considered the presence OF troops
necessary.
The Attorney General has sent to the
President by special messenger full
statement rs tar as advised, and will
await his reply, which is expected to-
morrow.
Attorney General Pierrepont then tel
egraphed to Governor Ames as follows:
''In my dispatch OF yesterday morning,
in which l mentioned that troops were
held in readiness, asked whether the
situation of the insurrection was such
against the State authorities that the
State Government with the aid Of loyal
citizens could notput down. l have no
reply to this.
The following is a copy of the telegram
received by the Attorney General from
Senator Pease: The excitement has SUBJ
sided; civil force composed of good
citizens of all political parties and Of
sufficient force to protect life and prop
erty, can be had in any county of the
State. No effort has yet been made by
the State authorities in this direction
until all legal means have been ex-
hausted. lam of the opinion that Fed
eral interference is unwise and impoliti-
cal, and will only tend to aggravate the
riots.
Senator A1corn, of Mississippi, ar
rived in this city Friday and had an
interview with the Attorney General OIL
Saturday. He agrees with Postmaster
Pease in relation to Federal interfer-
ence, and is confident that an attempt
to assert the authority of State would
be sustained by a large portion Of the
citizens.
There is, he said, class of dlssolute
young men disposed to create trouble,
but they are small portion of the peo-
pie of the State. Their acts are not
counte nanced by the better class, and
the latter would aid at any time in put
ting them down, If for no otherreason
than to give security to their property.
