Tho proposition to hold a session Of
Congress 10 independence Hall, in Phil
adelphia, on tho Fourth of July, is meet
ing with considerable favor, and will
probably be adopted.
General Grant heartily endorses the
Cincinnati nominations, and congratu-
lates the people upon the nomination Of
"a ticket that should receive the cordial
support of all races in all sections"
Tho Norwalll (O.) Reflector was the
first paper Ia tho United States to hoist
the name OF Gov. Hayes, as the Rcpub-
lican candidate for President in 1876.
This was done Immediately after the

Transient newspapers can be sent
after July first at tho rate Of one cent

The defeat of Bristow and the nomi-
nation of Hayes, according to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, resulted from
breach OF faith on the part of Morton
and his hackers. "lt WAS proposed and
understood" says that paper, "lhat
when the Bristow vote should exceed
the Morton vote, tho vote OF Indiana
should, on the next ballot, go TO Bris-
tow solid This understanding was
not fulfilled when tho occasion came.
