The offerings of grain on Change to-day were
light Wheat active and steady. Corn dull, with
sales OF but small portion of what was offered,
sc Tiers being unwilling TO make the concessions de.
manded BY buyers. Nothingwhateyer Done in oats.
The Boston Society OF Civil Engineers have ad-
dressed comm unication 10 the Richmond Corn
and Flour Exchange ard Chamber of Commerce
asking their cooperation In petition 10 Congress
for the passage OF q law TO make the metric stand
ards in the Office Of weights and measures at
Washington the sole authorized public ste ndard Of
weights and measures throughout the country.
They say the weights and measures now generally
used In this country do not have simple relation to
in computation. Speaking OF the
schools, they say the tim thrown away in our
schools in teaching Innocent children that 7.9 2-100
inches make llnk-a fact that surveyors have all
but forg, tten-is sad to think Of and 10 pay for.
Nearly every individual in his daily business has to
undertake brain labor In dealing with our present
irregular weights and measures which could be
saved BY the use of simpler system. Acommittee
of engineers, consisting of Frederick Brooks, L.
Frederick Rice, and Clemens Herschel, have drawn
an argument IN advocacy OF the metric system, and
have transmitted copies to the secretary Of the
Chamber OF Commerce and Corn and
Flour Exchange, with request to aid in the move
ment.

PLUCK IN GIRLS.

Girls can make their own way in
the world if they plan and courage
to execute. The stuff is in them, if
they know how to use it. Gail Ham
iIton tells a good Gtosys
~ know two girls born to wealth.
In their early youth they we're
rich, careless free. They walked
and drove, and hunted, and boated,
and drank deep draughts of happir
ness and health.-Presently trouble
came. The stalwart father became
helpless and confined invalid
Did they sit down and wiring their
hands Did they so moaning all
their days, begging men to give them
little sewing, a little teaching, a
little copyingY Not they. They
began in small way in a country
town to keep a dry goods and grocen
ry store. They gave fair measure
and right change. They kept what
people wanted and if anything was
called for which they had not they
put it down in the list of their pur-
chases. They had the cleaneSt, the
incest grocery for miles around
They hired them clerk, and bought
horse, and built house, are at this
moment independent property hold
ers as we'll as piquant and agreeable

GOOD ADVICE.

Young men, you who are wasting
time in dissipation and folly, you who
sneer at the foibles of woman, and
say you cannot marry because you
cannot afford the luxury of a wife,
reflect little think of the money
you foolishly throw away every
week think of the bad habits you
are forming-of the restraint good
wife would be upon folly; then go
and propose to the most sensible girl
you know. If she says yes, then tell
her how much your income is, from
what source derived, and tell her
how you will divide your last shii.
ling with her and love her with all
your heart. And then keep your
promise. My word for it, she will
live within your income, and to your
last hour you will regret that you
didn't marry sooner. Gentlemen,
don't worry about feminine extray,
aganoe and feminine untruth. Just
you be true to her, love her sincere
ly, and more faithful, fond, foolish
slave you will never meet anywhere.
You won't deserve her, ! know, but
she will never know it. Now, throw
aside selfshness, and see what will
come of it.-Er.

Point Pleasant wv Va) Correspondence Of

There has been a good deal of talk

that was executed for desertion. The
following letter will explain the mat

"HARTFoRD City, WEST VA,
June IS, l676.-In the last issue of
the Point Pleasant Weekly Register,
the editor asks of us an explanation
in relation to some money with which
Gov. Hayes had to do. am glad an
opportunity has been afforded me of
giving a statement of this war Incl
dent, from the fact that both myself
and also Gen. Hayes have been ma
ligned and misrepresented in this
matter. The following are the facts
In the summer of 1864 our brigade,
commanded by Gen. Hayes, was or
dered 10 Monocacy Junction, in Ma
ryland, and while lying there a sol,

and had some conversation with him
in relation to the condition of his

some $500 in money and two watch>

the world that he knew of, except Il
mother, aud that she was somewhere
in Virginia, but did not know where,

the money and watches to her, and
if not, to keep it myself. The man

me to come to his head quarters. |

the man gave me, told him. He
examined the watches and gave them
back to me, and the money he said
he had decided belonged to the Gov

to what he did with it | am not pre-
pared to say, but the above are the

of the money he must interview the

T4AAEN AND FIGURES,

The New York Sun says; During
the past eighteen months Governor
1ilden has originated and carried
through measures that have reduced
our canal Expenditures at the rate of
two and a half millions of dollars
annually. Besides this, he has mi
tiated line of policy that aaa OK
posed ano broken up a chronic sys-
TEN Of frauds whereby the State, for
years past, has been robbed of large
amounts of it's canal revenues. He
has set at defiance and driven out of
the field horde of contractors who
had been long accustomed to do
work on the canals that was either
not needed at all or was performed at
rates ruinous to the State. lie has
carefully watched the proceedings Of
the Legislature, and his warning
voice has frightened away many
jobbers while by his veto he has in
two sessions reduced the appropria
tions for general purposes about a
million Of dollars. And during his
term of office, and mainly because
of his me asures, the State taxes
have been cut down nearly one~
half.
This is a kind of reform that
every lody can understand and all
honest men will appreciate and ap
pland. We need this sort of reform
at Washington during the next four
years.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the chosen representatives c
the Democratic party of Georgia, il
State Convention assembled, do max
the following declaration of politica
principles and party purposes, ant
we invite every lover of constitution
al liberty and good government t.
co operate with US in maintaining
and carrying the same into practica
effect:
LIST. We re avow our thorough
identification with the great Nationa
Democratic Party of the United
States, and accept the great platform
of principles and polidy recently pro
mulgated by that party at St. Louis,
Missouri
I'd The recent nomination by the
National Democratic Party, of Sam
uel j. Tilden, of New York, for the
office of President, and of Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, for Vice
President, meets our hearty approval,
and we do hereby pledge our Demo
cratic brethren, North, South, East
and West, that we will put forth the
most active, earnest and energetic
effort to secure the triumphant cleo
ton of these distinguished citizens to
the high Offices for which they have
heon named as candidates.
ard. We declare without equivo-
cation that we are decidedly and
firmly in favor of retrenchment and
reform in the administration of every
government, State az well as Federal,
and we sincerely rejoice that the Ma
tionRl party with which we are iden
titled, has placed itself definitely and
squarely on a platform that begins,
continues and ends with the doctrine
of publication and reform in every
PLACE aRd in everything connected
with the government and its admin
istration.
4th. We do hereby specially enjon
the nominee OF this Convention, if
the nomination shall be confirmed by
the people, to carry it into full prac
lical effect, the principles of re-
trench4ant ana reform hereinbefore
set forth, and his acceptance of the
candidature to which we invite him,
will be deemed distinct pledge on
his part, that, if elected, he will so
exert the influence and power Of his
office as to reduce taxation, lessen the
public expenditures, and lift, as far
as iu him lies, the incumbus of "hard
times" from the people.
9th, We hereby pledge the people
of Georgia our earnest effort and yea
lous co operation to perpetuate a
just, impartial and economical admins
istration of the affair G., tho State, 80
the end .aat law and order may be
maintained, the public peace, oonser.
we'd, labor disburdenei and energis,
ed, confidence between man and man
restored, and the prosperity and hap
piness ofthe whole people placed up>
on a sound and enduring basis.

GEN. HANsELL FOR CONGRESS.

EDITORS J oURNAL--The next con
vention of the Seventh District will
be the most important one that has
been held for years. Much depends
upon its action. 1t should present
a candidate who can harmonic all
the conflicting elements in the Dis
trict one who will be worthy of the
support of every democrat and
who is not hampered, and conse>
quenty weakened, by connection
with the personal contests that have
unfortunately prevailed for some
time past. We need a neec man,
against whom NJ cliques or combs
nations exist.
Such man can be found and his
nomination would strip every demo>
crat in the District of any pretext or
excuse for supporting an indepen>
dent candidate. In this campaign,
above all others, independent cans
didates should not be oountenanced
They always produce discord and
and schismS in the party and endan>
ger its success. Discord leads to
disorganization, and that leads to de-
feat.
This District is the only one in
the State that is troubled with inde>
pendent candidates. We must put
them down, or we will see the unity
and harmony of the party destroyed
In view of the great interests involv-
ed in this campaign we deplore any
division in our ranks now. Through
out the Union, Nor,h, East, South
and West, the Democracy is NOV
ing to victory in solid phalanx and
with an unbroken front. Only the
Seventh District of Georgia is dis
organized and inharmonious. Let
US take ~ the step and march in
unison with the grand column
Can we find a man upon whom all
can unite 7 We believe that the
nomination of Gen A. j. Hansell of
Cobb would be acceptable to the
people of the ontire District. He is
G man OF acknowledged ability and
of pure public and private reputa>
ton. He was one Of the first set
tiers af Cherokee Georgia, has an
extensive personal acquaintance with
its people, aud has been for many
years thoroughly identified with
them. No man better understands
the wants and the resources of this
section Of the State.
His great Kindness of heart, chris
tian character, and fine personal ad
dress have endeared him to the peo
pie to an extent enjoyed by few pub
lie men. He is known and respect
ed throughout the State, is perfectly
conversant with public affairs and is
an able and captivating speaker
With General Hansell as our candid
ate, Mr. FELTON, would have no pres
text for opposing him; and should
he do SO he would put himself in the
position of willMl d.@organizer.--
What gay $40 people to our sugge8~
sion I Let us have a response.
