The National Democratic Convention
assembled in St. Louis last Tuesday
morning. Henry Watterson, Of Ken
lucky, was elected temporary chairman.
Gen. McClernard, Of Illinois, was chosen
permanent chairman. After organiza-
ton the convention adjourned until III
o'clock, a. m, yesterday. A telegram
received last evening stated that the
convention quarrcied the whole day
over the platform, and there was no
chance of the balloting commencin 6
that evening. A telegram passing over
the wires this morning announced that
Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, had
been nominated for President, and Gov
Hendricks, of Indiana, for Vlce-Presi
dent. Mr.. Tilden was nominated Oh
the second ballot receiving 535 votes
Gov. Hendricks was nominated by ac
clamation, receiving $50 ont Of 73e
votes. This is undoubtedly reliable
news, and the democratic National
ticket is thus presented. 1t is q strong
ticket and q better one than We had rea

nominate. But 1t will not win. ThC

Beautiful piciurcs.

We have received from the Fine Art
Publishing House OF Geo. StinsOn <
Co., Portland, Maine, several pictures
recently published by them. The sub
jects, as works Of high art, deserve the
highest praise. Stinson & Co. were
among the pioneers in the Fine Art
publishing business in this country, and
year by year their business has grown,
until at the present time it has assumed
colossal proportions.
A short time since they published q
chrome that had run of over one hun
dred and twenty-five copies. The weigh
Of them unmountcd was over nine
tons. liz the selection Of subjects, Stin-
son & Co. show correct Judgment of the
public taste, which natural talent, aided
by long experience, alone can give.
They publishs every description of fine
works of Art, from chrome to photo
graph-from fine Crayon drawing to
the most elegant Steel Engraving.
They bring into service the skill Of
the most talented artists.
They arc also publishers Of the Cen
tennial Record, which is very large
illustrated paper, devoted to whatever
is of interest connected with the One
Hundredth Birthday of the United
States. Terms one dollar per year.
The great Exhibition at Philadelphia is

in want of a large number Of new agents,
to whom they offer the most liberal in

PRESIDENTiib ELECTga.

The Minneapolis Sentiad, under the
above heading, urges The selection of Mr.
4. b. Murch Of Ottawa county as one OF
the Presidential Electors on the Repub.
lican Ticket. Here is what the Sentinel
says:
Ottawa county has always cast a
good majority for the Republican Presi-
dental and State tickets; the Republi-
can voters Of this county hayc always
been willing to contribute their help TO
raise to official position leading Repub-
Lcans in other parts Of the State, and
they have meyer presented a candidate
for any position to the State Conven-
ton. But TINS year we hear it reported
that a number of our leading citizens
have decided 10 present the name OF Mr..
A. b. Murch, OF this county, SIS candl-
date for Presidential Elector.
Ia the election of men Tor this posi-
ton it is quito necessary that those
should be sought whose party fealty is
nquestioned, i0r 10y a single man the
vote OF large number Of people is east
upon partisan question and 1t IS Gus
tomary 10 select man who also pos
seSses ability as an orator. Mr. Murch
has been = Republican from the first or
ganization OF the paaty, and has done
good, effective work on the stump for it
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas
Briefly, he is q Republican from prin-
ciple, and consequently has always
worked for tho ticket. We earnestly
hope the State Convention will help US
to confer deserved honor on fellow
citizen OF this county, and life long
Republican.
All that tho Sentinel says of Mr..
Nurch we know to be true. As ia. back
as 1856, Mr.. Murch was an active, uu-
compromising Republican, battling val
iantly for tho success Of the party. lie
was then editor of a leading Republican
paper in Wisconsin,, and always spoke
out then, as now, his poor opinion OF
Democratic principles. Twenty years
of faithful service in the Republi-
can party inelines Us warmly towards

SOLDIERS BOUNTY BILL.

The new bounty bill, which has just
passed the House of Representatives, is
substantially the Same in its terms rs the
act which passed both Houses OF Con-
gress last year and was vetoed by the
President. 1t allows to all enlisted
men, soldiers, sailors, and mariners, in
Guiding slaves and Indians, SS.25 q
month for their services between the
18th day Of April, 1861, and the 9Th
day Of Nay, 1865, dvdacti"g from the
amount all bounties already paid under
the United States or State laws. We
have been informed by reliable authori-
ty that the bill without doubt will pass
the Senate and be signed by the Presi-
dent, the Objectionable features which
caused the President to veto it at the
last session having been eliminated.
The passage Of such bill is but just
recognition and appreciation of the ser
vices Of large class of soldiers who
have never received bounties. We be-
l;eve with Congressman who said the
the other day that "no treasury can be
so bankrupt that it cannot and should
not meet such an obligation"

Hayes at South Mountain.

After going the rounds OF the hospi

tam, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Captain LOCKER was associated with Sur.
COON General Weber and other Ohio
surgeons as detail 10 escort an ambu-
lance train filled with wounded soldiers
down to Frederick, Nd, where all the
churches, hotels and public buildings OF
all kinds had been prepared for their re-
ccption.
On their way down, and reaching q
little village called Midjletown, Just be-
fore dark, the citizens of the town in
sisted that the tram should stop long
enough for them to supply the wounded
men with cups Of coffee, tea, etc. This
request was complied with, and the
train lay there three or four hours.
During the delay Surgeon General
Weber and Captain LOCKER walked
through the village, making inquiries
for Ohio soldiers, and, much TO their
surprise, learned that Lieutenant Colo
mel Il. B. Hayes had bean brought there
from South Mountain, where he was
wounded (and only a few miles from
MiddletowE), and was then believed to
be somewhere in the village. Procur-
ing lantern, they began 10 explore the
town In search OF Colonel Hayes. After
visiting about dozen houses in which
were wounded officers and soldiers, aud
holding tho light of the lantern in the
FACES OF tbs poor fellows, they came
across little old tilapidalcd two-story
brick building, and going up a rickeiy
pair OF stairs, and through narrow hall
ilaaked on both sides with diminutiye
rooms, were rewarded by the discovery
Of Colonel Hayes, lying in bed, and at
tended by his faithful and loving wife
and his brother-in-law, and surgeon of
his regiment, DR.. Joe Webb. Mrs.
Hayes bad only just found her husband,
after having looked through allthe hos
pitfalls from Washington 10 Middlctown.
The Colonel and his lady expressed
delight AZ the vis;, from Ohio men, ana
permitted Surgeon General Weber 10 ex-
anime the wound. After pleasant chat
and detailing o. news from home, the
Ohio gentlemen took their departure. IL
seems that . few hOu:S before the visit,
the Colonel, fearing modification, had
requested Surgeon Webb to amputate
has arm, but DR.. Webb had decided not
10 do 50, and 10 make Al attempt to
save the arm. After explaining The

Little did Surgeon General Weber and
and bis companion think then that the
little dingy room in the village Of Mid

of the Colonel to his Ohio visitors, as be
