THE CANDIDATES..

With this issue we place at the head of
our columns the names of RUTHERFORD B.
HAYES, the gallant soldier and present Gov
ernor of Ohio, and the Hon. WILLIAM A.
WHEELER, of New York, the Republican
nominees for President and Nice-President
of the United States, under whose leader
ship the great Republican party will march
on to certain victory in November next.
The name of Governor HAYES is tower
of strength among the people, especially
in the great North and West, and he is of
all others the foeman most feared by the
Democratic leaders. We heartily congrat-
ulate the Republicans of the country upon
the selection of men so eminently qualified
in every respect for the high positions to
which they will undoubtedly be elevated
The news of the nominations We're re-
ceived at such late hour last evening, that
we cannot as we would like, give our read
ers personal sketch of the candidates.
This we will do in our next issue. We
give in another column report of the pro-
ceedings of the Convention.

HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD.

Judge Pinckney, ON Monday last, rem
dered a decision against J. NJ. Miller & Co.,
of Baltimore, who were plaintiffs in a num-
Der of cases against certain Registers of
Voters in that city. These suits were
brought to recover the amounts of what
pretended to be stationery" bills the
items composing which, averaging in
amount $25 each, were furnished the local
Registers by Miller & Co. Our readers
may remember that only a small portion of
the modest amount deemed necessary by
the Registers for stationery" was actu-
ally delivered in pens, ink and paper, but
in most instances nearly the entire amount
of S25 was made up of such items as
albums, aoriting cases, books, toys, and in one
Instance baby aodg0n, which the patriotic
and unselfish "Reformers within the party
were willing to accept at public expense
from Miller u Co., as tokens of apprecia-
ton upon the part of the city of their dis
interested services. The City Fathers, how
ever, more in dread of reform sentiment
than their humber party brethren, refused

individual obligation upon the part of Reg
listers of Voters who happened to be fathers
of families to furnish on their own account
the means of infantile transportation, and
such necessary pictorial literature as the
Juvenile tastes of embryo Democratic Reg
listers might require. The Registers them
selves, not sustaining this view of the CASE
in turn refused to pay. Miller & Co..
although good Ring Democrats, protesting
to do business for profit and not for the fun
of it, sued the Registers individually. The
testimony taken showed, that the plaintiffs
Miller & Co., were just as deep in "the
party" mud, as the Registers were in the
Ring mire. They had actually paid bal
ances to Registers in cash, which these ad-
ministratIon reform gentlemen had pocket
ed, and in other cases had issued to these
despisers of Republican populations, due
bills for balances payable in merchandise
but all charged to the city.
Judge Pinckney made the righteous de-
cision, that by themselves becoming a party
to these fraudulent charges by furnishing
such articles as they knew were not charge
able to city account, Miller & Co. could not
invoke the aid of the courts in so nefarious
transaction. That the articles sued for
were not sold and delivered on individual.
but to them officially, and on city account,
with the certain knowledge upon the part
Of the plaintiffs that such items as Burn S
Poems, Chambers Miscellany, and baby
wagons, however instructive and useful in
their way, formed no part of the necessary
official outfit for first class Democratic
Register of Voters. If Miller & Co. have
thus innocently contributed at their own
expense to the libraries and nurseries of
their speculative party brethren, they have
nothing but their own cupdity to blame
for it. The lesson may prove valuable in
the future to the many firms in that city
and elsewhere who conspire with unworthy
officials to rob the public Treasury, even in
amounts as petty as formed the basis of
the cases just decided.

y CARD TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
For many years we have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never be coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterfeits
Of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloway s
Pills and Holloway's Ointment the fac
smile of the signature of our Agent, Mr..
Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit this is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid us in our efforts to protect their health,
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr..
Jos. Haydock's signature is attached to
eack Box of Pills or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The public's obedient servants,
HOLLOWAY & Co.

IT is the middle of June; Congress has
been in session more than six months, and
of ten appropriation bills only three have
been passed. These are the most import
ant-the Deficiency, the Fertilization, and
the Pension bills. The seven yet to dis
pose of are the Consular and Diplomatic,
the General Executive and Legislative, the
Post office, the Navy, the River and Har-
Dor, and the Military Academy bills. A
fine programme of work for the dog days.

From present appearances the Belknap
trial promises to be one of the most ex-
traordinary of modern times. If the
number of witnesses to be examined may
be accepted as a criterion, it will exceed
in length the celebrated Warren Tasting S
impeachment trial. Two hundred and
fifteen witnesses are to be summoned, and
as the majority of them will be from re-
mote points, the expense will be enormous.
1t is safe to say that Belknap will be the
instrument through which the Democrats
will saddle an immense expense upon the
country. 1t will bother the people very
much to decide whether the party, simply
to make political capital, is justified i'll its
course. Certainly Belknap, to all intents
and purposes, was politically dead. Why,
then. prescribe him further?
