A SAD REUNION.

A special to the Sunday Journal under
date of 9th inst, says: "a sad party mr.
rived here yestei day, the widow and sister
Of General George a. Custar, and Mrs
Yates with herthree children, accompanied
by Mr.. David Reed and daughter, and Mr.
II. A. Roberts, the latter a brother Of Mrs.
Yates.
MIR. Boyd the long. time President Of the
Seminary here, who taught Mrs. Custer
from childhood TO womanhood, met the
party at the depot, Mrs. Custer was the
first lady to leave the car, and on meeting
her old precepter, her selfpossession left
her and she fell fainting in Mr. Boyd's
arms, with cry which was almost n shriek
of anguish. She was tenderly carried by
loving hands to Mr.. Boyd's carriage. Mrs.
Calhoun followed next-Maggie they call
her here-and, almost fainting, was also
helped to n seat beside Mrs. Custer. Atthe
side Of the car helping the ladies to alight
was Mr.. David Reed, and Mr.. Harry A.
Roberts, the latter the brother Of Mrs.
Yates, and the former the father OF the
young nephew of Custer, who 40 gallantly
rode to his death with his brave uncles
Mrs. Yates with her three children, fol-
lowed next, and last came Miss Reed the
young niece of Custer. During their sad
Journey East from Ft Abraham Lincoln,
the mournful party had carefully avoided
all demonstrations OF sympathy from all,
and this was especially necessary on ac-
count of the state OF Mrs. Clusters health.
Your correspondent was formerly an officer
Of the Seventh Cavalry, and well acquaint-
ed with Mrs. Custer, who joined the rcgi-
ment at its first camp at Fort Riley, Kan
sas, in 1866, yet when he learned the state
Of her health, he forbore endeavoring to call
upon the afflicted widow of his former
cheftain, and conlcnted himself with the
barren formaity of n card par coincidence
Mrs. Calhoun, the sister of General Geo
A. and Colonel Tom Custer, and widow
of n third dead hero, Lieutenant Calhoun
IL with Mrs. Custer, staying at General
Clusters homestead, where the father and
mother of the dead sdbreur have long KEEP
the home fire burning.
Mrs. Yates, the widow OF Col. George A
Yates, who died in the massacre of june
at the head of his company, is the daugh
ter of Mr.. w. Miner Roberts, Engineer
in Chief OF the Northern Pacific Railway
and n grand daughter of the late Chic
Justice Gibson, of Pennsylvania. She ha
three small children, aged respectivel,
three and half years, and twenty-five
and seven months. Although native O
Carlisle Pennsylvania, she has decided t
establish her residence here, so that sh
may be near her loved companions in sui
, fering, and has already rented a beautiful
cottage on Monroe street, opposite the res
idcnce of Mr.. David Reed. Her house
pretty frame surrounded by very larg
yard, and embowered in trees. F.Y.C.

Last Saturday Mr.. Cox Of the Commit
tee on Banking Currency, reported a bill
10 repeal Section OF the Resumption Act
Of January IA, 1875. This act as all
know, was to redeem in coin the legal ten
der notes outstanding at q fixed date. CoU-
siderable argument was had on the bill,
and several amendments offered which
Mr.. Cox would not accept. A substitute
was offered by Mr.. HEWITT. After consid.
able confusion the substitute was voted on
and lost, yeas, 92 nays, l04. The vote
was then taket on the bill reported by Mr..
Cox, and was passed yeas, l06; nays, SO.
There was much excitement and confusion
in the House during this voting. 1t il
probable that the bill will reach the SEN
ate this week. Many look forward to the
repeal OF the Resumption Act ms the har,
binger of better times for the people, and
more money. Wherein il will benefit the
nation we are unable to see.

Lucas County Convention.

The Convention held in Toledo on
Wednesday was one of the most extended
ever held in that county. Everybody
seemed to be intensity interested and
turned out en- masse to work for their
favorite eandi dilates, and more especially
to send delegates to the Congressional Con-
ventlon that would work to their interests.
The two opposing factions SHERWOOD and
anti-SHERwooD worked hard against each
other, but the latter came out ahead by
having majority of the delegates chosen
from anti SHERWOOD men. The County
officers nominated we're:
Auditor-JoHN PAUL JONES.
County mmissioner-HENRY G. ELY.
lniirmary Director-EDwARD UPToN.
The Convention was carried on through
out with great warmth and enthusiasm.
The minority report of the Committee on
Congressional Delegates was rejected by a
large majority. This delegation was com.
posed almost entirely Of SHERWOOD men
while the majority delegation, which was
adopted, was about two-thirds anti.SHER-
WOOD.
Mr.. j. =. JONES, the nominee for Auditor
who for long time past has held control
OF the Biade, but lately retired, has host
oil friends throughout the couniy, and will
help 10 make ticket that will not easily
be overcome. He is AN able gentleman
aud will undoubtedly make an efficient
officer.
