The Phardon Republican expresses it
self in some wen chosen and timely '.tobsesrr-
vations IN reference to the proper course on for
the Republican party to pursue in reference
to the case of the Secretary of War. The
counsel is wholesome and salutary, but as is
has been palpably adopted BY the friendt
of the capse, perhaps it is not needfm to
copy that part of it, The, latter. part. Of
this article, in, reference to the selection Of

read with profit; l.,isssl5 ss. 80 I'D

Tribute 20. Judge Taft.

+ As in the appointment of Richard Il.
Dana, jr., of Massachusetts,, Minister at the
Court Of st! James, so in the appointment
of Judge Taft of Ohio, to the Seeretaryship
of War, the President has at last acted
with discrimination and Judgment, and se-
cured the services of man who will re-
fleet honor upon the situation, exercise an
important influence in the Cabinet, and do
credit to the country. In hinteileetnalabili-
ty Judge Taft is one of the, elearest-headdd
men in the West. His moral rectitude and
honesty of life have never been questioned.
In scholarly qualifications also he ranks
high among the pablicJmeh of; this country.
His speeches, not only upon the currency
issues, but upon many other topics, are most
powerful. He is one of the strongest men
Ohio has ever produced and in intellectual
ability and integrity of character, and all
the elements that combine in. exalted states
manship, his appointment is eminentlya q
matter for public congratulation. Should
any future necessities arise involving the
appointment Of Ministers Of Cabinet officers,
it, is to he hoped that they will be of the
character of the two already named. .iiItls5,

The meaning of the step taken by Rev.
DR.. Storrs of Brooklyn, in resigning- the
Presidency, of the Congregational Union
and his Directorship in the Board of Mis-
sions has at length become apparent. 1t
meant the signal for the Inauguration Of a
formidable -Beecherand anti Plymouth
Church movement among that portion of
the Congregational body in America by
whom the whitewash and gRsh of the Adj
visory Council were regarded with disfsvor
and disgust. DR.. Storrs has recently made
a public statement in his pulpit of the rea-
sons which impelled his resignation Of the
important positions held by him, and the
general expectancy Of bold and positive
declaration on his part was not disappoint-
ed. He condemned the findings Of the
Advisory Council in good set terms, and
deprecated its action as necessitating the
callingOf other Councils. '.l'.

The zeal with which the Democrats took
hold of the Belknap affair, has experienced
sudden cooling off. Anunpleasant suspi-
cion has come over them that the investi-
eating sword has blade at both ends. A
special from Washington to the Pittsburgh
Commercial says:
The dramatic entree which the Democrat
lc committee made in announcing to the
country the sad discovery of high Cabinet
of1cer accepting brides, has had summary
termination and precipitate exit. The
Democratic leaders, in the light of recent
information from other quarters. do NOT
seem so bent upon impeachment. Tbey are
very reticent, however, as to the cause of
this sudden suspension of zeal. 1t is in
timated that advices received from various
quarters threaten disclosures which affect
the standing of some Of the magnatesofth the
Democratic party, especially Pendleton and
Hendricks, IN addition to what had been
stated. Ii the articles Of impeachment are
not shortly introduced, it spropesed by the
leading Republicans to introduce resolu-
ton to appoint committee to ascertain the
circumstances attending the release of.
Marsh and to inquire into all the facts con-
nected with the Belknap investigation and
the neR- presentation Of the articles Of i'm
parchment. Should this be carried out, it
wilkereate a1ively time in the House and,
If successful, will give peculiar phase to

The Union League Club, which repre-

and who is not entirely free from complica-

THE space on the Avenue in front of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN building was filed
last night, until late hour, by an immense
crowd, reading the election returns as they
we're displayed through Professor Gard.
ner's sciopticor, The crowd was animated
by the greatest good humor, and although,
of course, composed largely of both politi-
cal parties, maintained the best temper
under the reception of adverse news. 1t
was highly amusing to listen to the philo-
sophie comments made upon unexpected
adveIses. The retorts of the opponents
were sometimes witty and excited the
crowd to laughter. Many a Roland" was
hurled at ''Oliver" before the exhibition
closed. Republican gains of Congressman
were loudly cheered as they were an
nounced, while apparent gains for Tilden,
reported early in the aight, fell like a wet
blanket on the Republican portion of the
crowd, and superind uced an indigo-ish feel
Ing which soon developed into an uugov-
ernable thirst. There appeared, however,
a fixed determination to take whatever was
sent with good temper and make the best
Of it. The night was tedious one, owing
to the closeness of the contest in several of
the most important States, but Professor
Gardner managed to entertain his auditors
by the srtlA interspersion of comic views
between election-return kilograms 1t is not
too much to say that Gardner's handsome
collection of views would of themselves
compensate large company for attending
upon their exhibition, even without the
additional zest gwen by the election re:
turns which would decide the nations fate
during the coming folr years. As it was,
his efforts to please were gratefully appre-
ciated by an immense audience, which at
tested its satisfaction by remaining in at
tendance some six or seven hours.

THE CENTENNIAL IuRILEE.

The official ceremonies that are to signal
iZe the closing Of the celebration OF the
centenary anniversary of the birth of this
Republic will take place on Friday next
Six months of exposition of the arts, in
Yentions and products Of the industries Of
all nations will then have been completed.
These nations came to the celebration of
the completion of the first century Of the
history of the great Republic of the West
ern continent at the official invitation OF
the Chief Executive. They came with
peace offerings, with the fruits of industry,
including products Of agriculture, manu-
factures. the mechanic arts, the genius OF
inventions, the inspirations Of poetry,
painting, sculpture and music. They
have contributed the best and the choicest
specimens OF their efforts for the culture
and elevation of the human race. The
display has been on scale of maguifcepee
unequsled in the history of the world, and
1t has been greeted by our people, with a
hospitality and libsrality far SURPRISING
anything of the kind which has ever pre-
ceded it. Some teu millions Of our popu
lation, or nearly one fourth Of the aggre-
gated inhabitants of the United States,
hsye viewed this combination OF the genius
and art and industry and invention of the
world. Trey have done this at greater
cost than ever attended any former world 3
eIpositiof, AID they have also, by their
hbeFalit., come nearer making the Expo
sition selEpaying affair than was ever
done by sEy0ther nation.
1t is fitting that the President of the
United Sts-es, in bis official capacity,
attend At the closing ceremonies of this
grand celebration of the centenary of our
national Eagal day. General Grant, ever
mindful .; what properly pertaics to
the duties and rr0prieties of his high office,
has signifed his intention to be present on
the 9th end 10th instant, in order to attest
the thanks o. this people, as their official
head aud organ, TO the nations of the earth,
through their representatives, for the kindly
interest which they have manifested in our
welfsre by their attendance with US on this
joyful centenary occasion. He will be &C

Of the twenty five doubtful votes all are
claimed ty The Democrats, and it is by no
means cerl4ln that the official count may
not give item these and one or two States
in the Republican column. The outlook,
as we 60 TO press, is very gloomy for the
Republicans, with but slight hope OF i'm
proVement when the official returns are all
IN. We have probably made some iupor-
tant gains in members of Congress-includ
ing General Benjamin F. Butler-though
not sufficient, we fear, to turn the majority
in the House in our favor. The returns
are not sufficiently complete to permit of
such an analysis of the votes as to afford
any lucid explanation of this apparent
revolution. This duty will be deferred till
smother time.

Dear Sir: A brief article by
William Hill, of Kansas, in the Age
of last Spring, in regard to my lost
"Kitty Gray was misunderstood by
some persons who did not see the
paper, and who received, from shear
say the impression that somewhere,
and by some one, the cat had been
tound, and that further search was
useless.
The cat mentioned by Mr.. Hill was
found IN Kansas, some Sir veehs BE-
fore Kitty Gray was placed by me in
the care Of another person, for a short
time. Two things have been sug-
gested to me as an explanation of
Kitty Gray's total disappearance.
1st. That the cat being shy, sought
shelter in the woods, last Spring and
will, as winter approaches, find refuge
in some farmers barn. If any person
sees such Il cat, and will leave word at
David Y. Walkers | will instantly
come to the place, if | identify the
cat, will pay $500, and take it away,
2nd. Others think that as the cat is
remarkably large and handsome, a
new owner may have grown too much
attached to it, to wish to give it up
In that case, I only ask to be assured
of its safety and comfort, and be allow
ed to see it once more. No one, q
hope) would refuse to give me that
satiiaction, if in their power. Even
my enemies would scarcely withhold
it, if for one moment, they could under
stand the feeling with which, on these
cold and bitter evenings, | feed and
shelter my remaining Pets, and re-
member one, who may, (tor aught |
know be wandering cold, hungry,
homeless or even dying, tor need of
proper care. NJ FRANCIS.
