The Cincinnati Convent ion
adopted a resolution approving of
Grants administration, and then
nominated Hayes for President.
Hayes accepted the nomination, en-
dorsed the platform, and now stands
upon it. Grant promptly congratu-
lated Hayes on his nomination. This
is the whole story in nutshell, Or at
least the first chapter of it. The
second chapter, as Chandler and Sc
cor Robertson hope it will be, is
Hayes election and the continued
administration of the Government
according to the ways of Grantism.
But that chapter will not be- New

\ --GENERAL Bradley r. Johnson de-
livered the address of welcome to the
Fifth Maryland Regiment on their
arrival at Cape May last Saturday.
His address closed as follows:
"All the world loves soldier, and
all brave hearts love the bravest, no
matter under what sky or what flag.
The soul goes ont to the hero, and l
have not observed any difference
whether he wears a blue coat or gray
jacket, or Il scarlet uniform. How
history best records the universal SEN
timent when it tells tie fiery story of
the charge of Cardigan and his Light
Brigade into the jaws Of hell; of
Ashby, with the sword of Bayard and
the soul of Sydney. dying before his
charging line; of Stuart, the flower Of
cavaliers. his plnme, like Henry of Ma
varre, dancing on the crimson tide of
battle and pouring out his life in de-
Tense of Maryland battery; and last
and brightest, when that Sir Galahad
of the cavalry, that peerless knight of
all the chivalry, with his honor on his
guidons and his life on the point of his
sabre. Custer, with his three hundred,
rode down the black valley of the
Shadow of Death among the ravines of
the Rosebud. Not one to tell the tale !!
Why, fame springs from tho chambers
of the ambient air; and all the ages
shall echo will, her song, and nations
yet unborn will repeat the story how
Custer rode and fought and died.
These are the men and these the deeds
that consecrate the profession of arms
to all true men aud women forever.
You, sir, and your command arc nndcr-
going the proper training in that homo
rable profession, and we do not doubt
that when duty calls you will do as
your glandsirrs did in ", as your
fathers did in 'l2'l4, as your brothers
have done; you will prove yourselves
worthy of your lineage and the flag
you 50 faithfully bear"

Not the Man.

Hayes is not the man to reform the
Civil Service. Admitting him to be
an honest man, as his friends claim
him to be; yet he has not shown in his
career as Congressman and Governor
any Of those thorough going qualities
so absolutely essential to correct the
great abuses that have invaded all de-
partments Of the Government. The
task is one of herculean proportions,
and can never be accomplished by q
man whose chief recommendation is
that OF passive, unsnspicious honesty,
who has given no sign of capacity for
the inauguration of Reform during
three terms of Governor aud two as
Congressman, at a time when corrnp-
tionists were holding high carnival
In the language of an exchange, Gle
cannot change tie Republican machine
or unseat the present leaders of the
party, who from Blaine to Boss Shep-
herd, from Spencer to Babcock, are at
work for his election. He is not man
of the strength Of character, personal
weight, and resolutenrss of will to
overcome these men, now controlling
the Republican party, even if we take
him at his word and believe that lie
desires to do it. The only hope of re-
form is in the election of Tilden, Il
clean sweep of the Government, and
the introduction of new principles of
administration and new men in high
Office. 1t requires a strong man, of
largo mind, with stern sense of right,
for President in times like these. A
weak, sleek. easy going man of medi.
otrity, aniability, and pliahlity, will
not do for the Presidency in these days
of cunning and rapacious Rings, and
scheming and desperate corruptionists.
The country requires a President who
cannot be frightened by such Rings,
or bambocrled by them, or fabricated
by them, but who has power and sense
enough to withstand them, overthrow
them, and destroyed them. Is not this
view of the case sound and unassail-
able'"-[San Jose (Cal) Weekly Argus,

THE seat of HARALsoN a negro men,
Der of Congress from Alabama was con-
tested by Democrat. The matter was
referred to the Committee on Elections
and Privileges, and that Committee re-
port that while there was evidence OF
fraud in the elections, 1t was not sutiii-
cient t. overcome the majority of HAIR
Alison and he is entitled to his seat. That
settles it. But how different from the
action of the Republican House in the
contest of MARTIN VS.. HAGANS. In
that case the outrage was perpetrated
of seating HAGANs who had only receiv-
ed few hundred votes, over MARTIN
whose vote was up in the ten thousands,
and theonly reason assigned for the deed
was that "HAGANs is our man" Here
is the contrast between Democratic fair
ness and Republican partizan zeal.

Il. W. a. II. RAILROAD.

The Brooke County Court has made
the following order in regard to the trans
fer the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Ken
lucky Railroad:
1t having been certified to this Court
by the clerk of the Board OF Commis-
soners OF Ohio county rs follows here
follows the proposition of Messrs. Hub
bard and Others rs accepted by that
county)-and the County Court OF Brooke
county beng DESTROYS OF making trans
fer as contemplated by the order passed
by this Court December 4th, 1874, and
recorded in law book No. l, page l57,
and authorized by the votes of the voters
of Brooke county, does hereby accept the
propositions of Michael Reilly and others,
with the toll)wIng notifications:
|. This court does not deem it neces-
sary TO make a transfer To persons or
trustees in trust TO convey the same to
said parties, bat the said County Court
will still hold the stock of Brooke county
in said road aud the debts and lines here
tofore purchased. And the said Coanty
Court hereby agrees and binds itself to
execute to said parties Michael Reilly
and others, a contract III accordance with
the stipulation herein above rected with
the exception herein above recited.
2. That upon the ompletion of the
railroad, rs stipulated in said proposition,
the said County Court hereby agrees to
and binds itself to make the proper
transfers, instead OF, as stipulated in the
said proposition, to be made by person
or persons as trustees.
8. The President and Clerk Of this
Court are hereby authorized and directed
to sign contract OF which the foregoing
stipulations, exceptions and agreements
shall be the basis.
4 1t Is further stipulated that the
County of Brooke will not be responsible
tor any debts made by the parties and
their associates TO whom this transfer is
made, nor for any debts heretofore con-
tracted on account OF said railroad.
The difference in the order of
Brooke county and that made by
the Board of Commissioners of this
county. as will be seen, is that Brooke de-
clines to make transfer to trustee to
convey to the contracting parties, but
stipulates that the court will make the
transfer upon the completion of the road.
The fourth section provides that no liza
bility shall attach to the county for "any
debt made by the parties or their ascot
atee, nor for any debts heretofore con-
tracted on account of said road" The
last clause evidently refers to the claims
of Greer & Co., and Yoke. We hope that
the new company will see its way clear
to accept the conditions of the Brooke
county proposition and completethe road

Farmers are eager observers OF the
weather, and no wonder; since the success
of nine out of ten of their operations
depends upon it. A correspondent OF the
agricultural Gazette augurs favorably oil
the years harvest from certain lunar OBJ
servations which / do not remember TO
have heard of before. After expressing
his gratitude for the new moon OF Mon.
day, he continues: "The last was Sa-
turday moon. They say in Suffolk:
Saturday new and Sunday full,
Never was good and never wool.
In Essex we say
@ a Satur iay moon,
Once in seven years,
Comes TOO soon.
There may be nothing in it, but nc
doubt these old sayings are the result oil
loRg observation. Another Essex saying
is:
A light Christmas,
Light sheaves;
A dark Christmas,
Heavy sheaves-
Light sheaves have certainly followed
the light moon of Christmas, 1874; let us
hope that the dark Christmas moon OF
1915 will give US o heavy crop IN 1876.
Possibly hope is better than faith in this
matter; and certainly sympsthlze with
the hope in question:
