AMonderiul Pair Of Boots.

From the Nashville Americana
While seated around good warm fire
at hotel, few evenings since, social
party amused themselves between drinks
by cracking jokes and telling stories; One
gentleman OF the party, whose silver locks
had seen the frosts Of eighty winters, re-
lated the following: His father bought
pair Of boots, and wore them on Sundays,
holidays and once week to prayer meet
ing, and on general training days for
forty years; then gave them to his Oldest
son, who wore them all one winter; then
they descended to himself, and he wore
them constantly for two years. The rep
rcsentative OF the American thought he
would reduce the actual wear Of that pair
Of boots to days, which he has done with
the following result:

ficers with regard TO abuses that ex-
isted on the frontier; that officers
knew that If they sent complaints TO
Congressman through the Secretary
of War they would be pigeon holed
and the officers would probably be
pigeon-holed too, 1t WAS generally
understood that a violation of this or
der would be apt 10 cause the officer
to lose his commission. General Gus
ter said he was satisfied that the OBJ
ject of the order was TO cover up the
doings of the Secretary of War.
About Babcoek
Grant recently expressed himself
surprised Mt the evidence given by
Detective Bell, and said he thought
Babcock ought now TO ask to go be-
fore the Congressional investigating
committee. Besides this, army off,
GERS feel that he ought also to purge
himself before the court of inquiry
which was granted at his request,
pending the preliminaries In his in
diclment and subsequent trial at ST.
Louis. Bahcock says sneeringiy that
the whole statement of Bell is n
string of lies, and exhibited two
letters from Bell asking him for
money. 1t is rumored that Babcock
will soon be removed from the super
intendency of public buildings and
engineer OF aqueduct. The House
committee on appropriations refuse
to appropriate money for the compile
tion of the Navy and War Depart
ments If Babcock has anything to do
with handling the money.

Sone of the discussions at the
Middletuty cauons. last Saturday eve.
ming, dlsclo.ed the prevalence 10 some ex-
tent Of what seems 10 be at erroneous
idea ot our convention aud cancus system
1t was assumed that there Is imprnpriety
in giving instructions to delegates as to
their action 10 the consentions to which
they are sent and there appeared to be
some sensitiveness rs IL it was q reflection
upon the delegates to insist upon knowing
their opinions before deciding the ques.
ton Of selection. 1t was almost asserted
in terms that the whole matter should be
left to the discretion of the delegates.
There are, certainly, some advantages in
this freedom. Delegates can usually
work more efficiently for the accomplish.
meut of desired ends when entirely free
from all trammels But the object Of
sending delegates is that the sentiment
of the people may be represented. In
fact, the whole theory Of our representa-.
tive system is in favor Of the surrender
Of individual ideas by the delegates in
order to represent the collective sentiment
Of their constituency. Our form Of gov.
ornment is q representative democracy.
The people are the sovereigns, aud the
off GERS are the servants. Our conven.
ton system is modelled on this plan, and
it could not possibly exist in this republic
on any other. The representative must
reflect the sentiments OF those he repre-.
sents. This representation may be effect
ed in two ways, A man may be selected
to represent constituency because in his
own opinions he is representative. and
for delegates to conventions this is the
preferable way Of securing true repre-.
sentatiou Bat sometimes It seems de.
sirable to send one who is not in entire
accord with the prevailing sentiment Of
the community from which he is sent,
or it may be that it is not known what
his feelings are then the only remedy
left constituency is TO instruct the del.
egate. This instruction may be either
qualified or unqualified or it may be
only an expression Of opinion designed
to influence the action of the delegates,
though leaving it to their own discretion
In the end. But whichever way is adopt
ed, the voters at the primaries should in.
sist that they be truly represented. 1t is
their right and their duty.

The Nominations.

The nominations at Cincinnati are re.
ceiyed with satisfaction and almost en-.
thusiasm by the Republicans of the whole
country. The personal preference Of q
large proportion Of the people Of Yer.
mont and the country was undoubtedly
for Alr. Blaine, and when the nomination
Of Rutherford B. Hayes was announced
there was great disappointment to which
frequent utterance was given. But there
was no objection to the nominee, and the
thought that he would better unite fac.
tons and heal all differences in the party
was potent argument 10 favor of the
choice made The name coupled with
bis on the ticket is also tower of
strength William A. Wheeler, during
his public service, though he has not been
especially prominent. has made record
inferior to none for ability, patriotism
and integrity The combination is for
midable ore, aud meets with almost uni.
versal approval not only among the strong
er partizaus, but also amoug the independ.
ent and dissatisfied elements Of the party.
1t is q gratifying fact that within twenty.
four hours after one Of the severest polti.
cal fights on record, expressions Of &C.
quiescence were made and assurances Of
enthusiastic support were given by every
Republican paper in the land. including
many chronic grumblers whose cases were
supposed to be hopeless. What will be
done at st Louis. next week, cannot yet
be conjectured. But the Democrats can.
not be very hopeful or happy with such
an admirable ticket already in the field
receiving the united and enthusiastic sup.
port of the Republican party. AS an il.
Illustration of manner in which the names
of Hayes and Wheeler are received we
give the following extract from the Bos.
ton Journal
THE Sixth Republican National Con
vention has done its work nobly. 1t has
given US ticket which every Republican
In the land can support with pride and
heartiness-a ticket suggestive Of at once
the great principles Of our organization
and Of Its heroic achievements both II
peace and in war-.a ticket clean and pure
free from all rings, combinations and
things needing explanation-a ticket
which has come to the front, spontaneously
as it we're, as embodying the best tina
could be done under present circumstan
oes to meet the demands Of the best senti
ment Of the Republican mass of to-day
Never have we been prouder Of the 40
tion Of the party, or surer Of its future.
