The New York Herald is like the
boy who always had want; it is in a
chronic state of discomfort. A week
ago it wanted Grant to resign; then it
wanted the Democrats to Keep cool I;
now it wants Hayes TO speak out and
declare his policy. Possibly the Her.
aid has overlooked the important fact
that Gov. Hayes always does the right
thing at the right time
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1876-12-28

Gov. Hayes was sernaded at Spring
field, Ohio, on the 18th inst. lie made
a brief speech, thanking the people for
the compliment paid him, and in con-
clusion said: Regarding the present
remarkable condition of the affairs of
the country, a paragraph in an eastern
paper expresses q sentiment which may
well be adopted by good and honest
men Of whatever political party: All
important interests-labor, trade, edu-
cation, religion--depend upon the pres
ervation of peace. Any disturbance
of that peace endangers these inter
ests.'"

The New York Nation is trying 10
make amends for its atrocious policy
in urging some Republican electors to
turn Benedict Arnolds. 1t is ''hedg-
ing" Ii has heard at last of the out
RACES at the South, and comes out
sqnarely against any attempt in Con-
gress to supplement bulldozing with
the assumption of unconstitutional
and anarchical powers. 1t says that
an action of an electoral college is final
and that the duty of Congress is pure
~ Observatory and ministerial. The
Presiden. of the Senate must open the
votes and count them, not pass upon
their validity, and the two houses can
only look on while he does it.

Coin Supply.

The amount of coin in the country
has increased at a very encouraging
rate during the last year. At the end
of the fiscal year of 1875 the coin and
bullion in the country, as estimated,

mate for twelve months later Is $780,
67s,000.
The amount of specie received in
New York city from Europe from
September Goth to December 11th.
amounts to Sl4,S32 600. There is still
on the way 81, 553, 900.

The Chicago Ifjbaae says that Gen
eral Logan will be nominated, almost
without opposition by the Republican
caucus of the Illinois Legislature for
United States Senator. 1t intimates
that all the Republican members may
not participate in the caucus. In this
connection it is interesting TO note that
the Chicogo EceniRg Post suggests
that President Grant be elected Sena-
tor from Illinois.

A Toronto (Canida) dispatch, dated
Saturday evening, says: dispatches
from the north and northwest describe
the storm of last night and to-day as
being the most severe experienced for
years. The cold is intense, and the
snow in some places six feet deep, and
the roads impossible. a violent gale
has been blowing from the northwest
and considerable damage to shipping

Revolutionints.

A New Orleans special says that q
dispatch from Fort Davis states that
the Mexican revolutionists have cap
tured Mr.. Miller. an American bank
er. at chihuahua, and demanded 49,
coo in gold as ransom for his release.
Colonel Andrews, with force of in
fantrv, cavalry and artillery, has gone
to the rescue The revolutionists are
reported 400 strong, and threaten to
shoot Miller if they can't hold him. A
fight is inevitable.

The Mexican States of Jalisco, So

declare for Lerdo, the President now
a prisoner Lerdo was inclined to re-

continue the struggle, but followed the
advice of Escobedo, and did not do so.

Colonel Crisp, one of the proprietors
of the st. Louis Times, is on record as
saying: eve are saying in the Times
that they shall not inaugarate Hayes,
but it is my private opinion that he
will be inaugurated, sure" The infer
ence is that the Times keeps up the
racket under orders from Tilden.

Reported Massacre Of Maj. Ranaall's Command.

The report which reached Chicago
December 22d, from New York, saying
a Bozeman, Montana, dispatch had
been received which stated that Major
Randall and his entire party had been
massacred by the Indians III the Big
Horn mountains, is entirely discredlt-
ed at General Sheridan's headquarters.
The roundabout way in which the
news comes is in itself enough to con-
vince the officers there that the report
is without foundation. On December
14th a dispatch was received from
Fort Fetterman stating that Randall
and party were at Fort Reno, which is
situated seventy miles northwest of
Fort Fetterman. Bozeman is four
hundred miles from Fort Fetterman,
and were this report true, it would
undoubtedly have come east via Fct-
ferman.

The Atlanta Constitution says
'There is nothing between Hayes and
