namely: Sayler, Morrison, Randall, Cox
and Springer. The contest is yet ill
defined, and it is idle to speculate on
the prospects. Sayler is promised as
hearty support and Is personally s
popular (more perhaps) as any of his
competitors. The prolonged absence of
Mr.. Il lndall leads many of his friends
to believe that he is not going to work
for the place, but If it falls into his lap
ne won't refuse.
Messrs. Springer and Morrison seem
to be mentioned as candidates Just as a
good many horses are entered in mile
dash, merely to fill up. But it must be
remembered such steeds some lines beat
the faYorites. There is some talk Of Mr..
Heister Clymer, but he will hardly be
the successor Of Mr.. Kerr. Mr.. Cox is
quite confident that he will come out
ahead. MIR. Blackburn, of Kentucky, is
not q candidate, and will support MI.
Sayler. The latter has also captured in
his interest several OF tue New York
delegation. The Oaio delegation is re-
ported for Sayler with but solitary
exception. The contest will take more
definite shape in day or two, and pre-
dictons OF the result will then more
probably be in order.
To be PardOmed.
Henderson, James and Beale, the three
men convicted In New O,leans some
time since tor alleged completely In
| crooked whisky, and sentenced to con-
hnement in the West Virginia Peniten-
| tiary, are soon to be pardoued. Their
pardon has been hanging fire for some
time in consequence OF the opposition of
United States District Attorney Beck
with, but the announcement is made TO-
day that their pardons VIII issue shortly.
The Southern Situation.
While there is no very great excite
mont here over the situation in South
Carolina, all classes of citizens betray q
great deal of anxiety. AS a general
thing, the action Of the military, so far
as reported here, is condemned. An ex-
member OF the Cabinet expressed the
opinion that the action OF the military,
in refusing to admit members OF the
Legislature to the hall OF the House oil
representatives. unless they present. a
pass frQm Dennis or Jones, amounts to
further complicate the grave ques-
tions now at issue, aud while
such acts as these are performed at
Columbia are liable to intensity, they
may possibly embroil the country into
serious disturbances. He says that all
the members Of the Legislature, togeth-
er with the contestants and all respect
able citizens, should have been ad.
mitted, and discrimination should alone
nave have been made against the mob
OF both parties. Government officers,
Including the President, are perfectly
calm,and express the opinion that there
viii be no trouble. The Cabinet session
yesterday was rather brief, and only
routine business was transacted, alter
which the President and members in.
dulged in general conversation on the
political position.

MAYORS OFFICE,

In accordance with the time.honored
custom of our torefathers, and in oom.
pliance with the proclamations issued
by the President of the United States
and the Governor of the State of Ohio
setting apart
THURSDAY, NOV. 80, 1875,
For a general thanksgiving, call upon
the people of Cincinnati to respond to
the sentiment so thoroughly established
in the early days Of our country, and
praise the Benefactor Of all mankind for
His great goodness in thus preserving
our nation, and in pouring from His
bountiful hand such numerous blessings
as we enjoy.
Those in authority or public executive
trust have followed this established
usage, and complied with the public
sentiment by issuing Thanksgiving
Proclamations.
1t is hoped that the day designated
for the recognition of usage so hal
lowed by time and tradition may call
forth hearty acknowledgment of our
past and present ntnefts ON the part of
all.
1 would therefore call attention TO
these important suggestions, and re-
quest that they be complied with in a
manner conformab,e thereto by the peo.
pie of Cincinnati.

II Mayor.

Tweed VIII Compromise.

1t is reported that Tweed contem-
plates a compromise with the State au-
thorlties. Warden Wilson, who is an
old friend Of Tweed's, and in whom the
latter places much confidence, thinks
Tweed will compromise the case against
him. The fact That his former counsel
have not seen Tweed since his return,
would seem to give color Of probability

the Jail doors are opened or the
walls shaken down and the priso-

the Jail has gone on long enough.
The Taxpayers are getting tired of
paying the enormous bills attend

prisoners have cost the county
