Opening the Campaign.

This weather is almost too Intensely, ago
nizingly hot, to be talking or even thinking
about the hot work OF opening political
campaign. But 1t has to be done, and II
might is well be done promptly as well as
vigorously and boldly.
The RAIDS have had time enough 10 read
the little history Of little MI HAYES in the
few newspapers that have been enabled to
find material for half-colunu biography OF

actively, getting up clubs, and scratching
their heads for something to say in behalf OF
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., whose po-
litical record is so nearly blank that they
find il hard to pick out OF it Il text for 4
talk to the faithful But they are bestirring
themselves like men who mean work; and
whatever may be said OF their precept, their
example is good one.

lc.nni.l TELEGRAM to the Dispatch

ST, LOUIS, June o7.-The excitement
among delegates and the crowds drawn mere
to witness the proceedings OF the Conven-
ton has been intense all day, and shows no
sign OF abatement now as the night comes
on. 1t is not expressed in parades and
cheering, and in brass bands and drums,
as at Cincinnati, but is deep and powerful
Tildeu is continually discussed The noisI-
est people to be seen or heard are those who
are pcrsistently engaged deiamins him.
They are to be seen at the principal hotels
and everywhere else two or three or more
delegates can be found to work upon.
THE OPPOSITION.
It is impossible to correctly, estimate the
extent OF the opposition to Tilden, for indie
pendent of the loud-mouthed Tammany men
are considerable number who
have been convinced by other means that it
will be difficult for Tilden to carry New
York, and there are others OF course bound
to personal favorites. This anti-Tilden feel
ing has been to some extent counteracted
by the efforts OF distinguished New Workers
who represent that Tildcn is to-day the most
popular Democrat in that State, and who
are willing to stake their reputation for po-
litical sagacity on the prediction that if NOM
mated he will carry the State by an over
whelming majority.

POSITION OF Mn. Cox WITH REFERENCE TO
THE SrEAKERsHIP-COEFL STATE
MENTS.-The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore american says:
II there was heretofore any doubt as to
the term to which the House elected Mr..
Saylcr to the pro tempore speakershlp 1t
was removed Monday. Mr.. Knott, OF Ken
lucky, soon after the reading OF the journal
offered resolution. which was adopted, dl-
recting the clerk of the House to notify the
Senate that Hon. Milton Sayler, OF Ohio,
had been elected Speaker pro tempOre
during the absence of the Speaker. The
adoption OF the resolution is Il direct hint to
Mr.. Cox that in his absence he has been SUI
perseded entirely as its temporary presiding
officer. Cox made fair Speaker, but had
the courage to rule against some OF the pro-
positions OF Holman, Of Indiana, one OF the
most chronic objectCrS and worst parlla-
mentarianS in the House. He is now re-
cciving that compensation which Democ-
racy always dolcS out is reward for
honesty lie will receive this atlront with
Il good deal Of Indignation. He was quite
proud OF the station to which the House had
elevated him, and held Oh to the Speakers
gayel with the tcnacity OF ali Unwcancd
child To Il nursino-hottle. Indeed, he had
decided not 10 90 to St. Louis TO attend the
Democratic Convention had he not received
assurances tina. it would not conflict with
his position rs presiding officer. IN this in
stance, however, Randall, who was his
warm friend, failed TO save him.
TIE correspondent OF the Baltimore San,
telcgraphing fro:n st. Louis on Monday,
said:
Mr.. Cox was considerably upset for awhile
over the election OF Saylcr as Speaker pro
TEN. OF the House OF Representatives, and
he denounced it as a shabby trick. Later
in the day he received dispatches from Ran
dali and other members saying there was
nothing significant in SAVERS election, and
that it was not the result of any scheme,
and further. that Saylcr will racate the
Speakers chair when lie tGoN) returns, if
the latter desires to resume the place.

OPPOSITION TO THE NANCEs.-A CORE
spondent OF the Baltimore Gazette, writing
from Raleigh. n. c., says: Ii the extreme
western part Of the State | find marked
SYMPTOMS, Of discomfort. Many OF the men
who we're most active in securing the noml-
nation OF Governor Vance are making de-
termined effort to prevent the denomination
OF bis brother, Hon. Il. b. Vance, in the
mountain district. 1t is reported and be-
lieved that good deal OF the enthusiasm for
Governor Vance which these gentlemen
showed in the late Convention was due to the
opinion entertained by them that his nOmina-
ton for Governor would prevent his brother
from running for Congress in the mountain
district. Ii these efforts prove successful, and
Mr.. Vance is not renominated, the State
ticket. will be very much weakened in that
part OF the State

HAYES. THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE, NOT
4 PRISONER or WAR.-It is not a little sur
prising that so many OF Our contemporaries
are at Il loss to ascertain exactly when 1t
was that 80 famous warrior as the nominee
Of the Cincinnati Convention won the
spurs. One OF them, the Fredericksburg
Ne,cS. now has it that he was captured at
charlottesville in May, 1868, and that the
editor then made his acquaintance. 1t was
General William Hayes who was captured
at charlottesville, and not Rutherford
b. Hayes. The former was native OF
Virginia, though appointed to West Point
from Tennessee, and was and still is in the
United States regular army. Another Cen
eral Hays. Alexander by name, was killed
at the Wilderness in May, 1864. The Re-
publican candidate served only once with
the Army of the Potomac. and that was
when he was wounded at South Mountain:
His service was generally in Western Eir-
ginia, until 1861, when he came with Hunter
OIL his expedition against this city, and
afterwards served in the Valley under Crook
and ridan.-LynchJUry FiYinian.

TILE INAUGURATION.

Last week we gave an account of the in
auguration of Gov. Hartranft for a second
Term. The display was imposing in the ex-
treme. The military portion of it, was well
conducted and proves that Pennsylvania has
a well disciplined militia. The fire compa-
nies also made a creditable appearance. The
numerous political clubs were in bad taste
and should have been kept from the process
sion.
We do mot. see the propriety of a grand
expensive display such as this, however, in a
form of government similar to ours. The
elevation of a citizen to office is no excuse
for pageants, such as were witnessed last
week, and were a mild imitation of the cere-
monies used in monarchial governments.
Let us get back to the simplicity of the
fathers Of our country, and follow the prece-
dents they established
Besides, in times like these the utmost
economy should prevail in all Departments
and there is no excuse for the useless expen-
diture Of thousands of dollars ON mere idle
show, or to crafty Philadelphia roughs and
bummers with free ride and free drunk
at Harrisburg. We are reliably informed
that at least $4,000 Of champagne was given
out to u few hvorites at the expense Of the
State, A depleted Treasury and suffering
people should teach us economy

A CANADIAN SCANDAL.

Mrs. Mckenzie, the wife of well known
citizen of Montreal, eloped with Lieutenant
Bridges last week, and the pair sought re-
fuge in New York. Both are respectfully
connected and moved in the highest circles
of society. Bridges is the soil of the Sup
erintendent of the Grand Trunk Railway.
Being discovered in New York, they left
there, he with the intention of going to
Philadelphia, and she to return to Montreal
On Monday night last the names of "Mr
and Miss Bridges of Phoenixville" were
registered at the Continental hotel, and of
course, Miss Bridges was no other than Mrs.
Mckenzie. The father of Bridges, and the
attorney of Mckenzie called on them un.
expectedly, and the result was that she re-
turned to Montreal, her injured husband
agreeing to allow her a divorce, when she can
be united to her singular love. She is the
mother of four children, two of which she
brought with her to New York. The scan
dal has produced much excitement.

Just as we Expected.

On Wednesday of last week, during Gar
fields speech, when allusion was made to
the course of the Democrats in regard to
wounded Federal soldiers employed in the
House, Mr. Southard, of Ohio, rose, sub
mitted list showing that out of one humid
red and ffty-three employees the last Con
gress gave places to only eighteen Federal
soldiers, while the present Congress out OF
eighty-fve employees has chosen twenty-six
Federal soldiers. Afterwards statement
was published by Door-Keepar Fitzhugh,
showing that in his single department alone
thirty Union soldiers have been given posi-
tions, in addition to nine colored men and
one colored woman. These figures "knock
the wind" out of the agitators, and will con-
vince the people how little reliance is to be
placed upon their stories. We renew our
prediction of two weeks ago, that when the
House appointments are all made 1t will be
found that twice the number of Union sol
diers have been given places that were in
the service of the last Republican House.

SENATE,

WAsIHNGTNN, Jan. 25.-In the senate to
day Mr.. Sargent of California, presented a
petition signed by large number of ladies
asking that government be established in
the District of Columbia which would con-
fer upon women the right tp vote. Mr..
Sargent said the petition was signed by
many eminent ladies, and they set forth
their request in such language as should
reach the ear of the senate. He asked that
the petition be read by the secretary. After
1t had been read Mr.. Sargent said he had no
doubt that this great movement for suffrage
would prevail. 1t was making progress
daily. He referred TO women suffrage in Wyo-
ming territory, and said it was endorsed
there by the judiciary, by the press and by
the people generally. He knew of no bet
ter place to make this experiment than the
capitol of the nation, and therefore asked
that the petition be referred to the committee
on the District of Columbia to be consid-
cred in connectioniwith any bill to provide
government for the district. 1t was so
referred.
In the House of Representatives the Cen
tennial Appropriation bill was passed by a
vote of lag to 1870; many of those voting
against il were opposed lit on constitution
al grounds. The announcement of the vote
was received with applause.
