( There are a number of persons laboring
under the deIusion that. Gov. Hayes is a
S'salary -grabber." The story was started,
of course, to cast stain on an unbIem-
ished reputation. Gov. Hayes was notin
Congress when the -back-pay bill was
passed, but Charles Hays, of Alabama
was, and he is ''salary-grabber;" hence
the confusion of men, intentional or 9th
erwise, notwithstanding the difference in
the spelling of the two names. William
A. Wheeler, Republican Candidate for
Yice-President, was member Of Con-
gress when the ''salary grab bill was
passed. He voted eight times against the
measure, and was the first man to return
his extra pay to the Treasury Cincinnati

ii. Il, stevens, Esq.
Dear Sir-During the past five years have bad
ample opportunity to judge of the merits of Veg
etine. My wife has used it'for complaints at
tending lady of delicate health, with more ben
efcial results than any thing else she has ever
tried. have given it to my children under al
most every circumstance attending large fam
ily and always with marked benefit have
taken it myself with such great benefit that 1
cannot find words to express my. unqualified ap-
probation of its goodness.
While performing my duties as ts Police officer
in this city, it has been my lot to fall in with a
great deal of sickness, = nnhesitatiugly recon-
mend Vegetine, and I never knew of a case
where 1t did not prove all that was claimed for
it. Particularly in cases of a dehilitated or i'm
poverlshed state OF the bIood It's eects are real
ly wonderful; and for all complaints arising
from an impure state of the blood it appears to
work like 8 ehakias and / do not believe there
can be used with Injurious results, and it will
always afford me pleasuresto give any further
information as to what know about Vegetfne

H0rsemRnship in India

The delusiOn prevalent about the COW
ert sides of England that no men can ride
but Englishmen, and the fond faith of
Irish fox hunters that there is no race in
the world like the natives of the Green
Isle for hippodrOmic proWess, might be
somewhat shaken if they had seen those
swarthy gentlemen, the Tenth Bengal
Cavalry, this morning. The Prince went
out about nine o'clock, attended by Gen
eral PROXY and others, to see the men at
work, and was SO pleased at what he saw
that he gave fine hum ting knife to the
best man. A British trooper would prob
ably have received the gift with much de-
light and immense mduUGise hOnte and
walked off full of pride and samefaced-
ness. The Towanna man, quite delight
ed, too, was able to express a wish that
he might be allowed to wear the knife in
his belt when in uniform; and the wish
was acceeded to. The British trooper
would probably have been admonished
suitably and severely reprehended by the
authorities for such a request. Every
one knows that tent pegging means rid
ing full tilt with the lance at a tent peg
driven deep into the ground and carrying g
it off, if successful, on the point of the
lance. If any one thinks it is easy to do
this from the simple description let him
try it at AldershOt or elsewhere, remem-
bering, however, that Indian tent pegs
are larger, longer and stick deeper than
those at home. The troopers dashed full
gallop one after the other at the pegs,
which were replaced as fast as they were
drawn. Then rupees were put on the
tent pegs to be knocked off by the lance
point without touching the peg. That
was done better and oftener than the sue
ceeding exercises. of cutting or spearing
oranges on the tent peg tops. Handker-
chiefs were laid on the ground, and the
troopers, riding hard, made swOops at
them and missed them or caught them
up. One man managed to take three in
succession in the same gallOp. There
were exhibitions of 1OFsemanship which
| might be described as of circus char
! aeteP, but for this differenee-the horses
a skillfully adjusted angle, but were rid
den boldly about on the hard plain, and
everything was done by hand, bit and
balance.-Cor. LOndon Times.

The Cincinnati Enquirer was profuse in
its exposures of the corruption and
frauds of Mr.. Tilden, the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. This was
before the st. Louis Convention, where
Mr.. Tilden was nominated. Notwith-
standing all the hard things the Enquirer
said about him, ,,.and its declarations not to
support him, if nominated, the Enquirer
comes down from its high rage as mild
and gentle as the dews of a June morning
and accepts the situation offered it by the
St. Louis Convention; that is, to support
the nominee for the Presidency or move
its kit out of the pale of the Democratic
party. 1t could not bring its mind to
part company with old political chums
and intriguers. 1t therefore sWollows the
ticket, Tilden and all. Well, the Enquirer
has. Furnished the Republican papers with
a good fund of campaign matter-there
is good reading in it-and it will be used
unsparingly, although it may be very
distasteful to the supporters of Mr.. Til
den. 1t comes from a quarter that can-
not be contrOverted without putting the
Enquirer in very uncomfortable position.
1t must be true, or the Enquirer must
stand convicted of SANDER upon the
character of Mr.. Tilden. We give to-
day, in another part of the HERALD, a
dose or two of the Eaquirsr's medicine.

Secretary of State to be as followes: =.

The Democratic papers in this State say
that General Ewing presented the name
of the Farmer Statesman, William Allen,
at the st. Louis Convention. 1t is bur-
lesque upon farmers to call Mr.. Allen a
farmer. He can't ring in on any such
poor pretext as that. Why, there is a
wilderness of weeds all over the field
where Allen lives.

The financial plank in the Democratic
platform is a rare specimen of incOngru-
jties. a novelty in political literature. 1t
denounces the Republican party in pow
ar for its inability and immortality, be-
cause it has mape no reserve for the re-
demtion Of its legal tender notes; be-
cause it has made no advance toward. pre-
paration for resumption, but instead, has
obstructed resumption by wasting ourare--
sources, and by annually enacting fresh
hinderances thereto, and closes up the
paragraph in this language: Gas such
hindrance we denounce the resumption
act of 1873, and we demand its repeal. -
1t is as plain as the nose on mans
face that the st. Louis Convention was in
favor of more speedy resumption than
that proposed by the Congress of 1873, OF
why do they indict the Republican party
for infdelity, immortality and annually
enaeting fresh hinderanees to a speedy
resumption? If their demand for the re-
peal of the resumption act means any
thing at all. it has two meaning. The
first is that the law does not require re-
sumption as soon as the hard-money Dem
Gratis desire it should; they want resump-
ton more speedy; and the next object
was to cover and take in all the friends
of soft money Democracy. The strate-
gy, however, is little too transparent tc
catch men of ordinary perceptions. The
true meaning of it is that the act of 1S7;
puts the resumption too far in the future
to suit the hard-money Democracy; they
want the resumption act repealed simply
that resumption may be enforced at al
earlier day than the 1st of January, 1879

Mr.. TILDKN, the Democratic nominee
for President, is the smallest man, physi-
cally, that has ever been placed on the
Presidential race-traek. In a sketch of
Mr.. Tilden, the writer says: He is five
feet ten inches in height, but is of very
light build, weighing only 10 pounds; !;
eyes blue and complexion fair; auburn
hair sprinkled with gray; is SO years old. ,
LAST week we said that the ''question
so long in dispute, as to whether lager
beer will intoxicate, is likely to be pret-
~ thoroughly tested at St. Louis this
weelk." The nomination of Tilden for
the Presidency, and other transactions
at the Convention in that city, where the
drinking water is SO horribly bad, settles
the question beyond further controversy,
that lager beer, when taken in cOpious
quantities, is Intoxicating.
