SKETCH OF RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.

As the choice of q Republican nation
al convention has suddenly raised to a
position of national distinction the
name of Rutherford 3. Hayes, govern
or of Ohio, everybody will be curious
about the antecedents of a gentleman
whose name, though very distin.
guished sOne in his native State, is
known only by general reputation out
side of it. as an honest and able man.
The following extract from a bi0g-
raphy published by the New York
World, il worthy OF perusal:
ga native of Ohio, MIR. Hayes gained
his academical education within the
limits of that state, commanded an
Ohio regiment during the war, and has
passed his entire professional life at
uhe bar Of the State. He is now fifty
four years old, having been born at
Delaware, O., October 4, 1922. He
graduated at Kenyon college, Gambler,
O.. and obtained his professional edu.
cation at the Cambridge law school.
The practice of his profession began
in Cincinnati in his thirty-fourth year,
when he received his first official posi-
tioli as city solicitor, which he held
till the. war broke out in 1861. I Very
near it's opening he enlisted in the
Twenty-third Ohio volunteers. and
served with the regiment till he re-
ceived the. command Of q brigade in
1864. His first appointment was as
major, his first promotion came in less
than asyear, and in September of 1852
he held a ac0mmissiOn as lieutenant
colonel, .antR.wasr-ia. command of his
regiment, which he led into the battle
of South Mountain. = a.; .s,.5!
During the action Colonel Hayes re-
ceiyed q severe wound in the arm, but
remained with his regiment to the
last, and was the first officer WkOse
command established q position at
South Mountain. Two years later he
had become Brigadier General Hayes,
when he received tho Republican
nomination III the Second Ohio district,
q part of Hamilton county, and re.
ceived, home and army together, 3,Oo6
Emajority over Joseph @. Butler, the
Democratic candidate. The Ohio del.
segation to the Thirty ninth Congress,
in which General Hayes took his seat
in December, 1865, was atkable
for its ability and included IN un.
usual number of men who have since
gained mark and unusual distinction
IN the Republican part Mr.. Robert
g. Schenck, Mr.. Columbus Delano, Mr..
IOhn} A. Bingham, llr. James; ;M. Ash

President Grant sent the following
congratulatory dispatch to Gov. Hayes: 81
congratulate you, and feel the greatest as
suranoe that you will occupy my present
position from the fourth Of March next:
On the same day of the Cincinnati
nominations Gov. Hayes received congratu-
lations by telegraph from Blaine, Bristow,
Conkling, Hartranft, Norton, President
Grant and hundreds Of other prominent men
Throughout the country.
e@ The British government has finally
refused to surrender the pious forgcr, VIM
slow, because the United States government
would not guarantee that he should not be
,punished tor any other ohense than that
,named on the ground Of extradition, and
have released him from custody.
President Grant, in a message to
Congress suggests the necessity Of an, imme-
date passage of the appropriation bills, as
the first Of July will bring the close for the
fiscal yearfoe which the last appropriations
are made, and there will be no means OF con-
tinuing The various branches of the govern
ment unless the bills are passed by that time.
