a CORRESPONDENT of the Worcester Spy
has called upon Governor Hayes at his home
at Columbus, Ohio, since his nomination to
the presidency, and reports the following as
OF interest to New England readers: The an
cestors of Mr.. Hayes, of the Hayes branch,
came to Dorchester from England before
1880, but followed Mr.. Hooker to Hartford
in the movement to Connecticut in 1885.
Later, his branch moved up the river to Had
ley, and his father went to Brattleborough,
where he married Sophia Birchard, of Scotch
ancestry, whose family in early days were
residents of Norwhich, Connecticut. Soon
after the governors father was married he
removed to Delaware county, Ohio, and there
Rutherford Birchard Hayes was born. He
fitted for college at Middletown, Conn.,, and
graduated at Kenyon College, Ohio. In 1S45
and '46 he was at the Harvard law school,
and afterwards practsed law at Fremont,
near Sandusky. He removed,to Cincinnati
in few years. His wife is daughter of DR..
Webb Of Chillicothe. She is described as ga
dark-eyed woman, modest and beautiful in
all the wcmanly and wifely virtues, refined
and in the truest sense lady?" Governor
Hayes inherited his fortune of quarter of a
million from an uncle in Fremont, and he
still holds fine house and grounds there,
which is the real home of the family. The
idea that he is lacking in force and indepen-
dence of will is asserted to be unjust to him,
and he is said never to have failed in any
great emergency. The following extract
from speech by Mr.. George Walker, who
had also conversed with him since his nomi-
nation, renews the assurance that on one
important point he is not lacking in force !:
SIN recent conversation with him said
that hoped the language of the Republican
platform would not be construed by him as
admitting in any way of postponement of
the time fixed for resumption, to which he
replied as follows: 4 will never consent to
any change in the resumption act. unless 1
am convinced that that change will lead to
speedier resumption of specie payment than
that now contemplated

DOUBTFUL STATES.

The above is certainly very liberal class-
fication so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned. 1t has been given out that the DEM
ocrats carried Oregon in the recent election,
but the latest returns show that the aggre-
gate Republican vote for members of tne Leg
slature is larger than the Democratic. The
only other state in the Republican list which
the Democrats can possibly claim is Florida.
On the other hand, prominent Republicans
from California who were present at Cincin-
natl are very confident that that state will
give its electoral vote for Hayes and Wheeler,
list of doubtful states. At the election last
summer North Carolina showed decided
Republican majority, sufficient to afford justi-
fication for placing it among the doubtful
states.
OF the doubtful states, il is fair to say that
the st. Louis nomination will determine
which the Democratic candidate will lose. IT
Mr.. Tilden is nominated the chances are even
that he will lose New York, and Indiana will

sure to go Republican as is Maine. In Mis-
sissippi the Republicans, upon fair vote,
have 10000 majority, and in Louisiana
100000 If there is an honest election, if
there is no intimidation or violence on the
part of the ex-Confederates, those states are
sure to give their electoral votes for the Re-
publican candidates. To be successful the
Democrats must carry every one of the states
classified as doubtful. They cannot spare a
vote. No Democratic candidate can carry
them all, and very few can keep the states
above accorded to them. In view of the
above the outlook for the Republican nation.
al ticket is not only promising but excludes
the possibility of defeat. The Republicans of
Maine have it in their power to ''make assur-
ance doubly sure" by giving GEN. CoNNoR
a rousing majority in September.

VEGETINE
VIII Cleanse ScrOfuIa from the
System.
HONEST OPINION.

MIR. Fl, r. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January 1854 with Scrofula which came out
in large and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural size. He
had several doctors of high standing in their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from Charlestown-
without getting bit better. He obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living we were told to try VEG ETINE, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before we could see great change. The sores run
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times day. Still, he was getting better; for he
could move his limbs and help himself little. He
was soon able to sit up in bed and, by constant
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
leg, which he will probably have for life; but all
honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the of his leg, and restored it to natural
health. hope all those troubled with Scrofula will
read this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself.
CATHERINE MAHONEY,
DANIEL MAHONEY,
10 Trenton St., Charlestown, Mass
May 10, 1872.
The above plain but honest statement conclusivey
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofula.
VEGETINE is acknowledged by all classes of people
to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
world.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.

Haw Ii Stands.

The successive caucuses in the various towns
in this district have cleared up the Congress
sional contest so that we can now speculate
safely as to the final result. Cumberland
County has one hundred and thirty delegates,
and York one hundred and twenty-five Mr..
Reed has already thirty-six votes in York
County, together with contesting,delegation
of four, while Mr.. Burleigh has so far obtained
only sixteen delegates in Cumberland, not
withstanding the peculiar influence employed.
1t will, therefore, be seen that when Port
land comes to do its duty next Tuesday
night, it will decide this question so as to
give US representative who will represent
the whole district and not merely one county.

The 0utIOOk.

About this time, those who assume to be
political prophets are making up predictions
respecting the electoral vote for President
next November. Many will allow theif par
tisan bias to color their predictions, while
others will try to make themselves cheerful
rather with that which they wish than that
they hope for. The fact that the nomination of
Hayes and Wilson will consolidate the Repub-
lican party and rally all those who have, for
any reason or on any pretext left the party,
removes many states from the doubtful list
among which are Ohio, New Jersey, Nevada
and Colorado and placed them in the Repub-
lican column. The Chicago Tribune classI-
fies the states as follows:

a proud spirit, that their state contains
family with nine varieties Of children. The
country can see California and 60 it several
better. 1t has party, the Democratic,
which has at least twelve varieties Of princi.
pies. Doubtless each variety will be repre-
sented in the St. Louis platform.

The Nation expresses the situation when
it says: The Democrats had an excellent op-
portunity when the session began of securing
genuine economy in all branches of the SER
vice, but they have thrown it away by
blind and indiscriminate attack upon expen-
dituIes, like those for the salaries of West
Point officers, and the Consulates, and the
Signal Service, which are most necessary and
beneficial. We trust that the Democrats in
the Senate will not recede from the position
they have taken on this subject, or allow
themselves to be persuaded into believing
that the country, when it denounces the ex-
travagance OF paying barely sufficient salaries
to public servants, or of lighting the coasts to
protect the commerce of the country, or of
detailing few soldiers to make scientific OBJ
servations which annually prevent the de-
struction of millions of property.

The charge that Gov. Hayes is back pay
salary grabber is utterly withou. foundation,
and may be put aside at the very opening Of
the campaign. At the time the back pay sal.
ary grab act was passed In 1873, Gov. Hayes
had not been in Congress for seven years.
In 1866 he voted for an increase of salary
from $4,000 to $4,000, reasonable increase
which has never been condemned.

THE unwise parsimony of the Democratic
House shows itself in the reduction of the
appropriations for the continuance of work
on the State, War, and Navy buildings. The
speedy completion Of these buildings is neces-

unsafe buildings rented at immense cost.

In Louisiana the United States has 701
soldiers, in Mississippi 1886, in Florida 243, in
Georgia 81, in Alabama 222, in Tennessee
205, in Kentucky Ill. This is what consti-
tutes the much-talked of bayonet rule at the
South. Maine is quite as much under the
rule of the artillery company which makes
pretense of garrisoning Portland harbor.

THE two wings of the Republican party in
Alabama are preparing to withdraw their re-
spective State tickets and unite upon joint
ticket, headed by ex-Gov. Patton, a man Of
large personal popularity, spotless character
and acknowledged ability. The Democrats
are terror stricken at the prospect. The uni
ty of the Republican element lnsures Re-
publican victory for the State ticket in Octo-
Der, the election of Republican senator in
place of Goldthwaite, and the loss to the
Democratic party, in November, of the ten
electoral votes of Alabama.

The newspapers are generally quoting
John Meals opinion of classical English. 1t
was given expression to in 1928, and there is
no little truth in it. Mr.. Neal said: 'I do
not pretend 10 write English; that is, 1 do
not pretend to write what the English them
selves call English-I do not, and hope to
God that I never shall, write what is now
worshipped under the name Of classical En-
glish. 1t is no natural language-it never
vast never win be spoken alive on this
earth, and, therefore ought never to be writ

but the deadest language that I ever met
with or heard of was that in use among the
writers of Queen Anne's day."

In treating of the proportionate increase of
population and of taxation, the New York
Bottetin gives some figures that are of no lit
tie interest, since they go to prove that the
taxation has increased in extreme dispropor-
tion to the augmentation of the population.
In the decade from 1860 to 1870, the increase
OF population in the United States was 40 per
cent, while taxation increased 200 per cent.
The population of Massachusetts increased "a
per cent, and its taxation 277 per cent while
New York the increase of the former was 21,
and of the latter 260 per cent. The record of
cities is even worse. In Providence r. l.,
the population doubled and the taxation
quadrupled. Baltimore showed an increase
in population Of Al, and in taxation of 203
per cent. Philadelphia increased the former
80 and the latter 317 per cent; while New
York showed 35 per cent increase in popula-
ton, and 300 per cent on taxation. Chicago
augmented her population 262 per cent and
her taxation 1884 per cent. Though this
last exhibit looks formidable enough, yet the
increase in taxation in Chicago has not been
as great, proportioned to the increased per-
centage of population, as might be supposed.
In New York state, for an increase of every
per cent in population, there was an addi-
tional II per cent laid on the taxation; in
New York city, in Massachusetts,, Boston and
Philadelphia each; in Chicago and Balti-
more, per cent in each place was added to
the taxation for every increase of per cent
in population.

IHE London Morning Post of Saturday
startled religious circles by an intimation that
part OF the extreme section of the English
church Was in direct intrigue with Rome,
VIII view of secession. 1t was claimed
that information had been gained that hun
dred ritualistic clergymen, with their constit-
uency OF $4,000 men and $50, 900 women, had
signed memorial to the Pope containing the
following propositions and petition: That our
own bishops committed ecclesiastical suicide
in selecting the complete ascendency of the
state over the church; that our consciences
false bishops; that we recognize the Pope as
the head of Gods church on earth: that we
accept all he teaches, including the Vatican
DEGREES; that many being married cannot be-
come Catholic priests, and that many of the
fold would not follow Immediately, and there
fore will his Holiness consent to the forming
of a united Anglican church, like that of the
Armenian and Maronite, in communion with
Rome, but with national independence in
case of Rome not admitting the validity of
our order; will she consent to reordina-
tions conditionally, the Pope granting a dis
pensation permitting those who are married
to continue to serve as priests; while those
who are single shall remain single, celibacy
hereafter to be the rule. The petitioners de-
sire to preserve the vernacular in worship,
except that the mass may be in Latin. II
these concessions are granted the petitioners
will secede from the established church of
England and form united Anglican church,
recognizing you as the supreme head.
