MORE GOSSIP ABOUT THE HAYES FAM
ILY.-This is what an old Columbus friend
of Gov. Hayes tells about his course dur
ing the anvass for the Cincinnati conven-
tion. Hundreds of letters were written
to him offering him support In the conven-
tlon to secure him the nomination, and he
declined to answer them. In making up
the Ohio delegation il was apparent that
men In favor of Blaine or Morton would
get on, and so manipulate it that he (Hayes)
would be left out in the cold. His friends
ad vised him TO look after the thing and pre-
vent such n consummation, but he steadi-
ly declined TO interfere, and down 10 the
last day of the convention he never, by
word or deed, acted In a way that indicat-
ed he sought the position" And this was
the way he entered the army as a private:
"Stanley Matthews of Cincinnati and Ha yes
were old school-felows, and, when The war
broke out, they agreed to raise a regiment
between them. Men enough offered to
form two regiments, but, when they picked
their number and brought them on here to
Columbus to offer their services TO Gov.
Dennison, they found there was some jeal-
ousy among the officers at having two law
yers put over their heads, so in spirit of
patriotism and harmony both men went in
as privates." Gov. Hayes has five chill
dren living and three dead. His eldest son,
Birchard Hayes, % years old, is studying
at Harvard law school, but is now home
on vacation. The next, Webb c. Hayes, a
fine, ingenious young fellow of 20, is study
ing at Cornell college, and is captain of the
Cornell navy. Rutherford P. Hayes, the
third in point Of age, is IS years, and has
been at the state agricultural college to
some purpose. The youngest is Scott Rus
sell Hayes, whom the family delight to call
by the pet name OF "Tuss." He is bright
little fellow of five years. The only daugh-
ter is named Fannie and is eight years old.
She is the picture of her mother, and has
all her mothers artiess RlVAclty.

JUDGMENT .4HB PUBLIC.

During the past Ave years the public have carefully
observed the wonderful cures accomplished from the
use of VEGETINE. From its use many an afflicted
sufferer has been restored to perfect health after
having expended q small fortune in procuring medi-
cal advice and obtaining poisonous mineral medicines
1t is now justly remarked by all classes of people
that VEGETINE holds higher position in the est-
nation OF the public than any other medical COM
pound, and 1t has won its great reputation and i'm
mense demand from actual merit.
Its medical properties are Alternative tonic, solvent
and diuretic. There is disease Of the human syE-
tenn for which the VEGETINE cannot be used with
perfect safety as 1t does not contain any metallic
poisonous compound. 1t is composed exclusively Of
barks roots and herbs 1t is very pleasant to take
every child likes it. 1t is safe and reliable the fol-
lowing evidence will show:

Pulling the Strings.

The tricks Of the Republican managers
and wire-workers are not few but many.
The Baltimore Gazette tells OF one that
illustrates in peculiarly truthful manner
their tactics in the current campaign. AT
q recent meeting in the West, the Wiscon-
sin "war eagle" called cold Abe" was
mounted on an escutcheon, and had one leg
tied down with string. Whenever fine
curl was gotten off the orator tipped wink
to the wlre-puller OF the American eagle,
who thereupon pulled the string. This
made .'that proud bird" lose his balance,
and compelled him to "soar," or at least to
tap, and then % the boys cheered until by
some unlucky mishap the string was dis
closed, when the audience at once lost all
interest in Old Abe.
Senator MOTION originated this kind OF
wire-working in the passing contest. He
mounted the stump in Indiana before Con-
gress adjourned, and forthwith commenced
pulling the strings attached to the bloody
shirt. That ensanguined garment responded
instantaheously to the touch Of the senator,
and ever since it has been kept waving in
the political winds OF the West at so furious
a rate that we at one time feared that hur-
ricane might result which would sweep
away the whole Democratic party. Hap
PLY Tor the country, however, this method
OF .srasing the wind" has not been so sue
cessiul as its originator and his allies had
hoped it would be. Doubtless, as in the
case OF cold Abe" the war-eagle, the
stangs or wires have by some means been
disclosed to the public, and the people are
disguised at the trickery which was invent
ed to deceive them out OF their votes.

The PEsTILENcE AT BRUNswIcK.-The yell
low-fever at Brunswick, Ga, exceeds any
pestiencc known to history. The "Mayor
bro tem.' telegraphs to Mayor Latrobe as
follows: ain distress; ninety per. cent +;
sick. Any help will be thankfully received"
The worst accounts of the plague in Greece,
the black death and the spotted plague, OF
the seventeenth century, fall short OF the
horror of this Brunswick pestilence., WITH
ninety people out Of every hundred down 70. IN
with the fever, there are not enough lett to
bury the dead; not tenth enough to tend
the sick. Starvation must soon add its hor-
rors to the scene, and the unburied bodies
aggregate the malignity Of the disease: Let
ali whose hearts are not stone send aid to
the sufferers. -Baltin,ore Gazette.

A Suggestion.

Whatever other powers Mr.. PLEAsANTs'S
supervisors may have they cannot oversee
the election of presidential electors; and
therefore the New York World makes the
suggestion that ." if the boxes Tor repre-
sentatives to Congress are placed last in the
row on election-day no Federal officer can
anterfere Nth the voter till he attempts to
deposit his ballot IN that bo1." That is, he
may vote for presidential electors without
interference; and no supervisor has any
right to be present at the canvassing OF
COUNTING OF the votes cast for these cleo
tors .

'tionality Of the law authorizing the up.
pointment OF Federal supervisors OF cleo.
tions as any other city or town. II W ''sl !
seen to he almost certain that the supreme
Court OF the United States would declare 1t
unconstitutional. That august tribunal has
already decided all the points which would
arise In the case. II has decided
First, that there are no such people as
voters whose right TO vote Is derived from
the Federal Constitution.
Secondly, shat every voter owes the right
OF suffrage to the State in which he resides.
Thirdly, that each State has the exclusive
power to protect it's citizens in their rights
not guaranteed by the Federal Constitution.
Therefore, Congress has no power to au-
thorize anybody to perform police duty in
the States for the protection OF q voter IN
his right to vote, or in any other right not
guaranteed as aforesaid.
Fourthly, that the Federal Constitution
does guarantee to every citizen TINT the
State shall not by its laws prevent him from
voting on account OF his race, color, or pre-
yious condition OF seryitudc. Congress has
power to provide that such discrimination
shall not be made. But 4a
Filthy, /. Congress has not yet provided
by appropriate Legislation" for the punish
ment OF the offence Of preventing persons
from voting on account OF race, color, OIL
previous condition OF servitudc.
Considering all these points as decided, il
follows necessarily
Smthly, that oil acts OF Congress pur
porting to give Judge HUGHES or any Other
officer authority to appoint supervisors t.
oyersecr the election Of Senators or OF Re
representatives. in Congress are null and voit
because unconstitutional.

We hardly know whether to rejoice or to
be respondent, when we see, as We do
now. that the Republicans profess to be
greatly alarmed at the prospect OF large
