! A VALUABLE CoIN.-It is said that
the Government has offered a reward
OF ten dollars for half dollars coined
In 1852. We also learn that private In
dlviduals having collections of rare
coins have offered high price for half
dollars OF that date. A few days ago
a pile of $2,000 in silver was searched
IN vain for half dollar of that date,
by two ladies who were anxious to find
one.

COLUMBUS, June 1.-THE committee
appointed by the Cincinnati COnEsption
to notify Governor Hayes Of Mis- nothina-
ton for President, arrived hero at Q
o'clock this evening, and were escorted
to their hotel by the Columbus Cadets
and Hayes Club, with aid band, At Q
o'clock the delegation proceeded to the,
Executive Chamber, where they were re
ceived by Governor Hayes. Edward Nc.
Pherson, OF Pennsylvania, Then stepped
forward, and after shaking hands with
General Hayes spoke as follows
"G0vERSOR HAYEs-We have been
deputed by the National Convention Of
the Republican party, holden at Cincin-
natl on the l4th Of the present month, to
inform you officially thatyon have been
unanimously nominated by that conven-
ton for tile office Of President .of the
United States. The manner in which
that action was taken and the response
to it from every portion OF the country
attest the strength Of the popular conf.
dencc in You, and the belief that your
administration will be wise, courageous
and just. We say, sir, your administra.
ton, for we believe that the people, will
confirm the action OF the convention, and
thus save the country from the control Of
the men and the operation Of the prin-
ciples and policy Of the Democratic
party. We ehave also been directed to ask
your attention 10 the summary Of the
Republican doctrines contained in the
platform adopted by the convention. In
discharging this agreeable duty we find
cause OF coHgratulatiou in the harmoni-
GUS action Of the convention, and in the
hearty response given by the people we
see the promise Of assured success. Ohio,
we know, trusts and honors you. Hence
forth you belong to the whole country.
Under circumstances so auspicious, we
trust you will indicate your acceptance
Of the nomination" - -, r -.
Governor Hayes, with'unusual agita-
tion, and in tone Of yoieeso low as TO
make it almost impossible TO be heard
replied: ma
aSir-I have only to say In response to
your information, that accept the nom.
ination. Perhaps at the present time it
would be improper for me to say more
than this, although even now I should
be glad to give some expression to the
profound sense Of gratitude feel for the
confidence reposed 10 me by yourselves
and those for whom you act. At future
time | shall take occasion to present my
acceptance in writing, with my views
upon the platform"
The delegates we're then personally in
troduced to their nominee, and spent con-
siderable time with him, informally con.
versing on various subjects.

with his own aggressive spirit, and never
fora moment admitted the possibility of
deisAt. There were times at Cincinnati
when everybody, save these men, could
almost feel Mr.. Blaine's defeat in the
air. The opposition to him was SO
tremendous that nobody could fail at
times to bc deeply impressed by its
power. And yet these men by dint Of
skilltul and persistent appOrtiOument Of
their work-by writing on their banners
that there was no sueh word as fail, did
really inspire belief in their certainty
Of success almost to Tie very end Of the
last roll call.

New York Sun on Republican
Nominees,

The Sun has to-day another editorial
upon the Cincinnati nomination. 1t says
the Republican candidate for President
will receive every Republican vote in
November, and he also stands q chance Of
getting a good many votes from among
those who do not wear the livery Of any
party. 1t Is very strong nomination.
Mr.. Wheeler is n strong candidate for
Vice President. With this ticket before
the country the Democrats cannot afford
to fool much with their opportunity, they
must nominate their best man, or they
are liable TO be beaten.
