noticed or his little wind bag

that because Maj. Mcfarland has
not had the fellow appointed Minis

he has concluded to set up an in~
dependent ideal Congressional Dis
trict composed of eve the Union
men of Hawkins County, The
"rebels" have ever since the recon-
struction, given the nomination to
Union men, and generally those
of Hawkins, and the true Union
men of that county are neither
fools nor ingrates.
The Tennessee Democracy in
the Bristol end of the District, have
no objection to Convention
They simply consider it unneces~
sary, and heretofore it has been
unasked for by any Of the Counties.
One more thought. Mr.. Neither,
land is already a declared candidate
for Circuit Judge, and such attacks
as those on Mcfarland are likely
to provoke a ventilation of Mr..

sire to say q word to you OF infinitely
more Importance than anything mere

The great work with which you are
connected is of untold consequence to

THE CINCINNATI TICKET.

Rutherford b. Hayes, present
Governor Of Ohio, was nominated
last Friday, by tie republicans at
Cincinnati, for President, and VIM.
A. Wheeler, the present represen~
tative in Congress from the 18th
District of New York, was nomis
mated tor the Vice. Presidency
The latter has been seven years in
Congress, and like the candidate
with whom he has been associated,
was selected because of his incon>
spicuous character and unimpor-
tant record.
The ticket is one which the De-
mocracy ought easily to beat
Nothing but the unpopularity of
the party and the corruptions of
the Administration have caused
this utter abandonment of every
name rendered conspicuous by
their connection with them. The
defeat of Morton is the rejection of
the bloody shirt. The defeat of
Blaine is the rejection of his Leaders
ship in Congress. The defeat of
.Conkling is the rejection of Grants
administration, and the overthrow
Of Bristow is its answer to this in
dictment of the people.
This nomination means the flight
of the entire party from the i'm
pending Indignation Of the people
at its work The fact is they have
gone SO far from the focal centre of
the party in search of candidate
that the fact is as though they had
gone into the purlieus of the demo-
cratic city to find one. There is no
doubt ut all that the reason for SO in
conspicuous a selection as Hayes is
that he is unmiXed with and I'M
committed to the outrages and cor
ruptions which have distinguished
the republican party, and it must
follow, as admitted, that they have
endcavored to escape these in order
to escape defoat.
Hayes will carry Ohio, but Ohio
the party already had. The nomi,
nation Of Wheeler renders the
nomination of Tilden a necessity.
Uncle Sam can carry New York,
and with Hendricks as our candi-
date for Vice-President we ought
to carry Indiana. We presume the
st. Louis ticket is made, and that
it will be Tilden and Hendricks.

Hayes.

A short horse Is soon curricd. Here
is all that the National Republican
finds to say Geographically of its candi-
date:
"Rutherford B, Hayes was born In
graduated at Keneyon College, Ohio,
and at the law school OF Cambridge,
adopted the profession of law. He
was city solicitor Of Cincinnati from
1858 to 1861 major and lieutenant
colonel OF the 23d Ohio volunteers in
1861, colonel OF the same from 1862 to
1864, when he was appointed q
brigadier-general, and during the same
year was elected Representative from
Ohio to the Thirty-ninth Congress,
serving on the committee on Private
Land Claims and as chairman of the
committee on the Library. He was
reelected to the Fortieth Congress.
resigned in the summer Of 1867, and
was soon afterwards elected Governor
Of Ohio. In 1858 the degree Of LID.
was conferred upon him by Gambler
College. In 1875, after severe contest,
he was again elected Governor Of
Ohio, the opposing candidate having
beer William Allen, who as Governor
had recently appointed him a COM
missioner to the Centennial"
Evidently the Republican shows
unmistakable signs of disappointment.
II speaks of the surprise" and "keen
isappointment" which the news Of
the nomination had Occasioned and
does not hurrah over the result ut all.

Mr.. James W. Morgan has re-
tired from the editorial chair of the

by Hon. Thomas Whitehead, who

make the News even more reada-

cal ability, and we congratulate

his services.

EVENT and COMMENT.

Speaker Kerr has been vindicated
against the charges made by Harvey
which were by unanimous vote OF
the House, declared false. Thus have
both parties put the seal of their con-
domination OH this foul effort to destroy
him.
Faherty who killed young Childs at
the mouth Of Locust Alley, Richmond,
a few days ago, has been found guilty
of murder in the second degree, and
sent to the Penitentiary for Is years.
He was drunk and luscious of the
act.
The Scott Banner says three armed
men n few days ago halted Robert
Owens as he was crossing Black Noun
tain ut Big Stone Gap, and robbed
him OF S25, also coat, hat, vest and
shoes. They are believed to be the
remainder of Il crowd of seven who
year ago robbed Martin Drake of
Lee County.
The "poOr kin" of the late A. II.
Stewart have brought suit to set aside
the will so that they can come in as
his natural heirs Mr.. Stewart meanly
ignored these people, whom he could
have made comfortable without per-
ceptibie loss TO his vast estate, and we
hope they will succeed.

A Handsome Frame,

The largest picture frame ever manufac-
tured in this city is receiving the finishing
touches at the cabinet-maker shop of Mr.. J.
G. Weaver, No. 623 G street northwest. 1t
was constructed by direction of the Land
Office, and is to be used for framing large
map, representing the mineral land belonging
to the United States. These maps are made
in nine large sections, and were the work of the
employees of that office. The frame is con-
structed of gilt walnut and birds eye maple,
and measures Is feet by % feet ~ inches
deep. The mitres are joined and held to-
getber by long bed screws. There is 720 feet
of holdings, $50 feet of pine on which the
holdings are glued, and over 500 feet of
walnut go to make up the quantity of lumber
used in its construction. 1t required three
men ten days to complete the job, and when
finished weighs 1000 pounds.
After the maps are fitted in place it will be
sent to Philadelphia and placed in the United
States building at the Centennial grounds. 1t
is next TO the largest frame III dimensions that
will be at the Exhibition-that encircling the
"Battle of Gettysburg" being the largest. 1t
reflects both skill and taste, and shows that
the workmanship of this city can faYorably
compete with th6t of any other. The design
and execution Of the work was by Mr.. Weaver,
who has been the recipient of many fattering
compliments for its beauty and finish. Many
persons have visited the shop, inspected 1t and
pronounce it a grand affair. 1t will be shipped
to Philadelphia to-day.

CHURCH TROUBLES.
Another Row in Enon Baptist Church

The neighborhood of Enon Baptist church,
situated on c, between Sixth and Seventh
streets southeast, was the scene of lively
row yesterday afternoon. 1t seems that the
church membership is divided into two parties
the Scott and the apti-Scott faction. The
sntis have been contending for possession of
the church building for some time past, and
have carried the matter into court, with o
prospect of a decision in their favor; but they
have been kept out in the cold by the Scott
people, and compelled to meet in Hulse's hall.
Yesterday Robert Cole, Peter Mosely, Wesley
Snowden and John H. Clark attempted to force
an entrance into the church, but were resisted
by the Scott party, and were arrested by Officer
Barkley, who took them to the Eighth precinct
station. The same officer arrested Mary
Chambers for assault and battery on James
Thornton and Lewis Collins. When Mary ar
rived at the station she swore out a warrant
against Thornton and Collins, charging them
with making an assault on her, and they were
also run in. A short time after these arrests
were made Elvina Cox became obstreperous,
and she, too, was invited to call on Lieutenant
Austin.
While the station-keeper was taking an
account of her personal property he discovered
among other things large "biily," and the
additional charge OF carrying concealed
weapons was entered up against her. All the
prisoners left collateral and were released for
the night. The two women belong to the
Scott party, which is mainly made up of the
gentler sex, the leader, Beecher-like, exer-
cising a strong influence over them. A lively
meeting was held by the Scott party in the
church last night, and steps were taken to
meet the other side at the Police Court this
morning.
