Vacation.

With the termination of this week closes
the scholastic year of 1875. The verdant vine
of friendship which has embraced the many
schoolmates is now to be SET asunder by the va
cation of two long and hot months, which the
siudious scholar justly merits, for the Iecupera-
lion of his over-taxed mind. The separation
will Reluctantly he made by all, but parting
with the expectation of returning TO spend
together more joyous school hours, or others,
who are to start upon the world for liveli-
hood sensible of its many mutations, in after
years to meet at unthought of hours or places
and if never 10 meet again TO bear in mind those
with whom they have spent many studious
hours; think of them whether or not death
has laid them under the cold, dumb earth, or
whether fortune has smiled upon them, and
the Queen of the evening is casting her glow
ing shadow upon their siIvery locks, and upon
them and theirs. Yet there is a loving at
tschment at home for those schoolmates. The
parental, brotherly and sisteriy love which
they left behind at the beginning of the
scholastic year bids them say to each and
every one with whom they have been asso-
ciated for the past year an afectionate and
parting Farewell"

FATAL THuNDERBoLT.- An accident occurred
near Carsville Va, on the Seaboard and
Roanoke railroad, last Sunday morning,
which plunged the whole neighborhood In
distress and gloom. Two young girls, by
the name of Massen, were crossing an open
field and between them carrying pail of new
milk. Suddenly thunderbclt descended from
a comparatively clear sky and stretched the
two girls seuseless upon the earth One, the
eldest, 20 years of age, was killed outright,
and the other was shocked into insensibility
for an hour or more, but was finally restored
to consciousness The sun was shining bright
ly at the time and only an ordinary cloud
was seen overhead, aud the mutieriugs of
thunder heard in the distance. Not drop of
rain fell in the entire neighborhood during
the day

The convention on Wednesday adopted
platform of principals and nominated on The
second ballot Gov Samuel j. Tlden, of New
York. as the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States. The keynote of
the platform is demand FOR thorough reform
in the administration of public affairs. 1t
arraigns the Republican party for maladmin-
istraton, corruption in Office and imbecility
in its treatment Of the question of finance
The Republican and Democratic platforms both
favor a return TO specie payments, but the
Democratic platform declares it cannot be
reached by the clause in the resumption act of
1871, but only by economy in the use Of pub
lie money and a wise financial system. 1t re-
aiirms the principle of a total separation of
of church and state, while it denounces the
attempt to foment religious strife in respect to
the public schools, which it declares to be I'M
der the control of the several States exclusive
ly. The nomination of Mr.. Tilden empha sizes
the demand for reform, for he has proved
himself to be a reformer of the most uncom-
promising kind, whilst his known views in
regard to hard money will strengthen the be-
lief that he will endeavor, if elected, to keep
the party well up to its old traditions on that
subject, and promote with all the influence
Of his conceded ability return TO specie pay
ments at the earliest possible Gay.

The Turf Suggested Improvement.


DEALLSNILLE, June 20, 20.
Mr. Filter IL trust you will give space
to The annexed communication calling the at
tention of the committee having in charge the
adjustment of the list Of premiums to be
awarded at our next county Fair 10 something
which would be the most Interesting feature
upon that occasion, which is now overlooked
Though great admirer Of turf sport never
have seen upon the grounds since the inau-
guraiion of the Agricultural Society q run
ming race. There are many HsiidiOus persons
who denounce this kind of sport, and, at the
same time, give countenance and aid 10 trot-
ting races. If the objector should be asked
for his reason of difference, lie would, beyond
all doubt, be unaole to explain. On the other
hand, running races have the preponderance
of favorable argument. But / am diverging
from my primitive object which was 10 merely
give the reasons why the committee after due
consideration of the suggestion should give
premiums for the fastest race horses in the
county
The premiums could be given like all other
premiums to tickle the fancy of the exhibitors
without the least disproht TO the Society,"
If my suggestion should meet with the APP
proval Of the committee and be adopted it
would certainly draw larger daily atten-
dance; would eclipse all other racing and
create more enthusiasm; would be conducive
to the more general rearing Of blooded as well
us fast horses and in these modern days
trotting races are growing obsolete, TO be
substituted by The more fashionable running
races. For the correctness Of this last reason
it is only necessary to refer TO the past spring
turf record These are only some Of the
minor reasons telling Of he propriety and
advantage of Offering such premiums; space
will not admit o. more.

In the appointment of conference commit
tees by the Senate there has from the beginning
been he greatest unfairness and injustice TO
the House. On the side of The House The
chairman Of the appropriation committee is
consulted as TO who the two democratic mem
hers shall he, while the republican member is
nemed by the leading members Of the minori-
~ side. In the Senate the minority is not re-
spected, and thus far only such democratic
members have served on the conference com
mitees as were opposed TO party measures
developed in the House, and these have been
selected by the republican leaders to prolong
the dead lock When the sundry civil bill is
ready to be reported by The chairman OF the
senate committee on appropriations, he will
make detailed statement Of the amount of
reductions made by the senate committee,
which, it is believed, will he between fifteen
and twenty millions about one-htlf Of the
amount proposed BY he house hills.

Letters received by Members of Congress

Southern radicals, especially the negroes, like

ignorant who have heard of the nominations,
who is Hays and who is Wheeler? Morton
and Blaine had some notoriety among the
negroes, but of Hayes they never heard. The
prediction is therefore made that the colored

says: The recent order issued from the War
Department disseminating the military divis-
ion of the South has far deeper significance
than appears on its face. 1t is understood to
be an initiation of plan designed to secure the
electoral votes of Alabama, Arkansas, Louis
lana and Mississippi for the republican candi-
dates. These four States will now be under
the direct military control Of Lieut.. Gen.
Sheridan, who can be depended upon to carry
out any designs conceived at this point The

clans with the President was in connection
with this plot Such of the marshals and
district attorneys in the States named who
cannot be depended upon 10 carry out their
share Of the undertaking will be removed,
their places supplied by more plant tools, the
Secretary of War will stretch his powers to
the utmost verge, and troops will be posted
where they can do the most good.

MIR. HAYES's INCOME TAX.
What IL Proved I'm the Case.

From the Chicago Times, Sept, II.
First-Gov. Hayes misrepresented the
taxable valuation Of his property in 1874
Second-He changed the valuation in
1875 without bringing it to the real value
Third-He changed it again in 1876
without making it correspond with the
figures given by his Uncle Birchard.
Fourth-He reserved from the tax lists
well known articles subject to taxation in
Ohio, such as a $500 watch, $500 piano
and 81, 500 diamond, which gem was
known all over his neighborhood Tor its
brilliancy.
Fifth-He reserved from the list al
the mortgages which had come into his
possession with his uncles princely for
tune. The mortgages paid Mr.. hayes n
handsome income, yet they make no sp'
pearance in his thrice-sworn.t exhibit
These five points are the body of the
charge which intellectually impairs the
standing of Gov Hayes among honora,
Bile men. Not less grave than the orig.
inal offence is the fstuous method of de-
NAL put forth in the Governors name by
men who evidently do not realize the
gravity of trifing with public patience

The silent Champion.

1t Is remarkable what an elSquence
there is, sometimes, in silence. Charles
Francis Adams of Massachusetts has not
opened his mouth in public, on the pres
identlal issue, since the campaign began.
There is brief letter from him TO a
friend in existence in which he signifies
his purpose to support Gov. Ihden-and
that is al. Yet his silent espousal OF Til
den has more power in it than all the de-
clauation indulged in ON the side OF
Hayes 1t is an answer, and more than
An answer, to Mr.. Schurz' repeated de-
nunciations OF the DEMO- ratio ticket. His
mere nomination by the Massachusetts
Democrats as their candidate for COVER
nor is guaranty OF the loyalty and
patriotism of the Democratic party, and
u convincing refutatIon of the Repubi-
can predictions of calamity that would
follow Democratic restoration. Sher-
man, Logan, Schurz and Morton have
been yelling for a month about the con-
tinued disloyalty of the Democracy, and
declaring that Democratic victory
would be "the re-estabhshment OF the
Southern confederacy'; but when the
country secs in the Democratic ranks as
supporter of Tilden and hendricks the
stately form OF former Massachusetts,

ity, patriotism and craftsmanship as Sher-
man, Logan, Blaine, Schurz and Morton
