Chronic office seekers and political
Ringsters always want Conventions,
because they know that it is in these
bodies the gag is placed upon the
voter that he is forced to support
whoever they see fit to nominate.

"Hayes, Wheeler and Reform"
says a Republican exchange. That
is a queer combination. What needs
reform? The administration? Then
what a condemnation of Hayes it is
to link mis- name with that of reform,
when he hes SO readily endorsed a
platform which praises Grants unre-
formed administration.

The intelligent editor of The Eaton

under mental hallucination when he
wrote that we did not econdemn the
Hamburg massacre" We do con-
denim it, but only applied 'iackass-
es" to that class of idiots that were
endeavoring to make philadelphia
against the Democratic partyout of
it, when in fact it was committed by
a Radical appointee of a Radical
Governor, and in a State that is snow,
and has been under the control of
Radical officials for at least twelve
years! If the crimes had been COM
mitted under a Democratic Govern
or, the perpetrators would have been
in prison in less than t~wenty-four
hours, but as it is, the offenders are
not disturbed, and the last version Of
the affair of the Republican Cover

consider it to be anything 0 sig.

result of bad feeling in that particu

COPY ON BABcocK's DESK?
The charge which has been made against General
Babcock, that he took advantage OF his position as
Military Secretary of the President for publ
cation the Attorney Generals tho District At
torneys, is the subject OF good deal OF conversation
here and 1t is known that tho matter is being nvest
gated by House committee. The Attorney General
has said that he wrote the letter the request several
times repeated, OF tho President, who cx-
hbited an amount of interest unusual for
him in the matter, and that the President
having asked him afterward whether he had attended
to that matter, Mr. Perrepont him copy of the

WHY DOES NOT BABcocK SEEK A COURT MAR

Meantime army officers speak in very plain way OF
General Babcocks curious neglect to ask for court
martial this and other matters. II is said that
even if General Babcock found the letter open his
desk he knew that ii public business; ana his
confidential relations at the White House
made it shameful in him to take advan-
tage of his knowledge thus acquired. The
heat with which he demanded military inquiry while
his case before the Grand Jury in St. Louis, and
when, has since appeared, he had secretly done all
he could to avoid appearing before the civil court is
contrasted with the GOODNESS with which he sub
mts to accusations and makes admissions very SEN
siby touching his honor, and 1t Is freely said that f
he does not to demand military court Of inquiry
he ought to resign from the army.

wonderful progress throughout the South, and as a

already suggested the question whether the republican

The figures above include specie. Tho inference
drawn by an ordinary person from the above state
is that the balance OF trade largely In favor
OF tho United States. But when II is borno in mind
that during the years mentioned $500 900 Of
United States bonds sold in Europe the proceeds
OF which have not found their way this country,
but have remained abroad, swallowed up BY our in
debtedncss the thing becomes a little obscure, and
suggests tho idea that ir exports were really
Sis 42O greater than imports during tho four
years quoted we have been dong very foolish thing
! paying foreigners money when 1t should be pouring
into this country instead. The anomaly Is explained
however by the fact that the business OF undertaking.
merchandise is carried largely that statistics
have become OF comparatively small value in de-
tcrminiug any question relating to the balance or
trade. Those who all conversant with the facts
well that the United States Is still drawing
upon the outside world largely ever and that our
importatons still greatly OF our exports
