We have been a friend to John
Phillips, and he promised to keep
us posted as to matters in his beat,
but neighbors, would you think it?
he has never opened his lips to US
about that adventure Of his in the
channel of Pigion Roost creek, with
a buggy lying on him. Well give
him one more week in which to
post us about this dexterous feat of
driving which resulted in a capsize,
and if he don't come up with the
confession, we shall have to tell all
about it. We dare say, Adam like,
he win say my Eve did it.

COOP TALK IN OHIo.-The Cincinnati
Volksfreund talks as follows to the soft
money Enquirer Of that city:
SO If the Enquirer considers the declaration
Of the Democratic National Convention for
the repeal OF the resumption act as con-
cession il is greatly mistaken. The Demo-
cratic party desires no concession. 1t
wishes to return to specie-payment as soon
as possible, and it considers the resumption
clause as hindrance simply because it states
no means to bring about the resumption OF
specie-payment. The Democrats in Con-
gress act very sensibly in not supporting
any radical finance measure, so long as Mr..
Tiidcn has not declared himself in favor
of it."
That is just what the platform was known
to mean when it was adopted. The VolcS-
fre,lna has not been touched by the rag
money lunacy.

Tilden on Hamburg.


The New York Herald and some other
papers call upon Governor THDEN to cX-
press in his letter OF acceptance his abhor-
renee Of the conduct Of the Hamburg
rioters. We depiore as much as any one
else all such troubles as the recent ones in
South Carolina; and we know as we'll as any
one else that it would take only Il few sucl.
affairs to ruin Governor TILDEN's prospects
of success, and make HAYEs's election sure.
Yet we cannot well imagine how Governor
TILpEN can be expected in lletter accepting a
nomination, and declaring the general prin-
sciples which will govern him in his admin
istratiye policy, to notice events so strictly
local as riot in South Carolina or any other
State. II he should express his opinion Of
the Hamburg rioters, and say nothing OF
the mining riots in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and nothing concerning the race troubles in
by the unscrupulous organs Of the Radical
party with sympathZing with every set OF
offenders against the law whose acts he
syould thus have omitted to condemn. There
Are innumcrable instances OF bad conduct
on the part OF persons i'll every section OF
the country which it seems to us Governor
,r1LDEN might just as well denounce as to
condemn this single instance in South Caro-
lima.
Nevertheless, il Governor TI.DES should
find it in his power to emphasize his posi-
ton on any question by using the Hamburg
rioters rs an illustration, we shall not OBJ
iect. No other man in the country knows
so well what to say and what to omit to say

APPOINTMENT OF CADETS FROM ALEXAN-
plsIA Observation-Disclosures OF GENERAL Hun
T0N.-At the meeting OF the Alexandria
School Board Friday the clerk read the fol-
lowing letter from the Hon. Eppa Hunton,
received by him in reply to 4 copy OF the
resolution adopted by the board on the 1st
OF June, and forwarded as directed therein {.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, june Is, 1876.
Richard j. Collins, Esq:
Dear Sir,-Your favor OF the 18th instant
has this moment been received. 1t cncloses
q resolution OF the City School Board of the
city OF Alexandria requesting me to con-
slider the propriety Of causing an eNamna-
ton to be made Of some Of the boys in
Washington School. No. 4, Alexandria, to
know whether they might not be nomina-
ted either to West Point or Annapolis in
competition with other boys from the con-
gressional district.
I confess myself at Il loss TO understand
the meaning of this resolution. 1t presup-
poses that l have refused to consider the
claims OF the boys OF that school when such
was not tue TACT.
1t also preSupposes that there is a vacancy
at one or the other of the places named,
when such is not the fact. | shall be glad
to know the motive OF the author OF the
resolution.
/ beg leave to assure you that when there
is vacancy at either place the claims of
any boy Of the school named to the nomi-
nation will be carefully considered when
presented.
Please make these sentiments known to
the School Board, and believe me,
Your obedient servant,
EpPA HUNTON.
Whereupon Mr.. William L. Carne offered
the following resolution, which was unanl-
mously adopted:
Resolued, That, in the opinion OF this
Board, the vacancies in the cadetships at
West Point and Annapolis, whenever oc-
curing, under the control OF the represen-
tative Of this congressional district, ought
to be filled bya competitive examination, at
which the boys of the school founded by
Washington, under the charge. OF this
Board, should have an equal chance with
the other boys OF the district.
A motion to reconsider the vote by which
the resolution was adopted was voted
down-ayes, 4; noes, 5.
