A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times, who has been studying the pO-
Iitical situation il the Northwest, says
that Illinois will have no Presidential
candidate, although General Logan
may be nominally presented in the con.
vention. f. B. Washburne, he says
he is surprised to find, has no strength;
he certainly could not command the
support of his State. The correspon-
dent continues: "Mr. Blaine has to-
day more strength i'll Illinois than any
other candidate. Singular as it may
seem in the East, his amnesty speech
somewhat weakened him. The net re-
suit, however, is that ne is stronger
than he was when the present session
of Congress opened. The secret of this
is said to be that there is dash about
him-a com bativeness-that suits the
Western people. But it must be re-
membered that nobody claims that Mr..
Blaine will have the entire Illinois del
egation on any of the preliminary bal
lots; it is only said that, as matters
stand to-day, he is believed to be the
choice of majority Of the Republicans
of the State. After Mr.. Blaine, Cover
nor Hayes is said to 5e-the most popu-
lar of the candidates."

THE NATIONAL ROAD.
why il should be turned over to
the Counties.

SENATE CHAMBER, COLUMBUS, o.,
March 6, 1876.
DEAR CHRoNICLE:-I find by the
proceedings of the "National Road
Meeting," held at Morristown, Feb.
2lst, as published in the Belmont
Chronicle of March I'd, that a misappre-
heDsien in regard to tho obligations Of
the State in reference to that road eX-
lists in Belmont county as we'll as here.
The chief point of objection to the bill
''to authorize the commissioners of the
several counties in this State through
which the National Road passes, to
take under their care and control so
much of said road as lies within the
limits of such counties respectively, is,
that the bill requires that "said road
shall be kept in such repair, at the
proper cost and expense of each county
SO taking possession thereof, as is con-
by the act or acts of Con-
gresS ceding to the State of Ohio the
Jurisdiction and control of such portion
of said road as lies within the limits of
this State" The objection is probably
good if the said obligation amounts to
If the obligation amounts
10 nothing, the above provision of the
bill is surplusage and should be struck
out. The author of the bill introduced |
il on the petition of citizens of Belmont |
county, and 10 drafting it followed the
of other bills heretofore intro
luced on the same subject; but on
'urther, and as be supposes full investi
cation, he finds that the State of Ohio
S under no legal obligation to the
United States or to any body else to
Keep the said road in repair, unless it
nay be, perchance, to the extent that
he tolls collected may accomplish that
md.
Let us briefly refer to the history of
his road and see what light it may
he'd upon this subject. In section sew (
n of the enabling act for the admission
# Ohio into the Union n 1902, it is
provided, among other things, that in
consideration that leach and every !
ract of land sold by Congress shall be {
nd remain exempt from any tax laid {
r levied by order or authority of the
tate of Ohio, for five years after the I
ay of sale "that the one twentieth of la
he net proceeds of the lands lying '
,ithin said State sold by Congress, a
hall be applied to the laying out and G
laking public roads, leading from the
svigahle waters emptying into the e
.tlantic, to the Ohio, to the said State, 4
nd through the same. In pursuance \
these considerations Congress did, in +
,06, pass an "Act to regulate the lay 4
Ig out and making road from Cum L
erland, Maryland, to the State of '
hio," and appropriated thirty thOus- l.
I'd dollars to defray the expenses of q
e same. In 1911, fifty thousand dol

MAI. r. S. LACEY, former citizen
of Harrison county, writes from Wash
ington to the Cadiz Republican of last
week to the effect that Capt. Danford
declines TO be candidate for reelection
to Congress from this district. The Re
publican referring editorially to the
subject, says:
We have understood, in a general
way, for several months past, that Mr.
Danford felt inclined to devote his at
tention to private affairs after the close
of his present term as Congressman,
but have always considered that he
might possibly change his determina-
ton. We have also observed, as We
have thought, a growing determine
ton on the part of the leading Repub-
licans of the District to ask and insist
upon Mr.. Danford's acceptance of the
nomination for third term, and we
have not the least doubt that the nom-
ination would have been given to him,
after little skirmishing, perhaps, al
most unanimously by the nominating
vention. 1t will be with regret,
therefore, that large majority of the
party of the District will learn of his
determination in the matter.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence. ]

Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 4, 1876.
Every one is specializing upon the
nominations and innumerable tables
are being made. 1t may not be amiss
to count the chances as they stand.
The Democrats are all at sea. They are
not sure how the delegation of any one
State will vote in the National Con-
vention, except Indiana, which will
present the name of Hendricks, and
Della ware, which will offer that of
Bayard. In New York, TiEden has
fiattered himself that he would carry
away the honor OF united ballot, but
several interests are opposed to him,
and 1t begins to appear even to the
faithful that he is not so great states
man, nor so pure man as they would
make him appear. The anti-Tammany
Democrats of New York will oppose
him, and they will probably control
the delegation from that city. In the
western part of his own State too he
meets with sturdy opposition, and he
is much weakened by the expose made
by David Dudley Field, when Cover
nor Tilden, as witness in the st, ,000,-
but little if any connection with
Tweed" and was then confronted with
his confidential letters and Tweed's |
check in his (Tilden's) favor, for s. 900.
AS to Thurman he has no chance ap-
parently, of uniting Ohio, and in fact
what Ohio will do is one of those
things that mo feller can find out"
That phrase pretty well describes the
of the Democratic party at
large In respect to the nomination, for
it is as tickle in its affection for men as
it is i'm its adhesion to principle. II
seldom maintains one cause for two
days.
On the contrary the Republicans are
united and harmonious. 1t is true that
they have differences as to minor
points of policy; but they are united in
the belief that the main issue in this
is resistance to the audacious
and aggressive policy of the ex-confed- Z
crate nullifiers. True, too, they have {
as to whom should be
;hOsen as standard bearers, but these j
differences will all be referred to the /
Convention, and when that {
peaks all will unite to sustain its a
hoice. The marked characteristic Of t
