THE CREMATED BARON.

The ashes of Baron Won Palm, whose
remains were recently cremated in DR..
LIE Moyne's furnace at Washington,
Pennsy lvania, were carefully swept
from the retort the moment the oven
had cooled sufficiently for the purpose.
When collected together Col. Olcott, q
friend of the roasted Baron, took the
ashes in his hand. placed them iu a
Hindoo Vase and. the philadelphia
Times says, walked down the hill from
the furnace with the mortal remains of
the venerable Baron in, bis side pocket.
This manner of disposing of the dead
is in high favor with the members of
the Theosophical society. of which the
late Baron was a High Priest. but as it
is repulsiyeJ to ordinary mortals, DIR.
LIE Moyne's furnace Is not likely to be
patronized to any great extent.

r, A. Cronin, the Democratic Elector
from Oregon, arrived in Washington
yesterday. The telegraph reports him
as being the hero of the hour, IioDized
by reporters and correspondents. He
declines being interviewed, pleading
fatigue as an excuse for not answering
questions. We met Cronin at the
depot here when on bis way to Wash
ington. He did not think at that time
that:the position he occupied entitled
him to snch notorie,y as had been
showered upon him from all directions.
He stated that previous to receiving bis
certificate as EIector Governor Grover.

loans, among others Uuited States At
torney Coghlan. of California. read
from the Constitution of the United
States clause showing beyond all
doubt that Watts was ineligible for
Presidential Elector. and asked them to
show cause why certificate should
not be issued to Cronin, who received
the next highest number of votes for
that Office. None of the Republicans
felt disposed to argue against a plainly
expressed provision of the Constitn
ton and the certificate was issued to
Crouin. He stated to us that he did
not expect or desire the election of
Tilden by bis vote, but it compelled
the Joint Convention of Congress to
60 behind the certificates of Governors
and opened the way to an investigation
Of the electoral votes ofFlorida, Louisi

able Democrat desires the election Of
Tilden by that vote if the three dis
puted States mentioned are shown by
an impartial and thorough iuvesiiga-
ton to have given Republican MAORI
ties. and no fair minded Republican
ought to insist ON the Inauguration of
Hayes unless they did. There is no
reason for lioDizing Cronin. Circum-
stances placed him in the position he
occupies, and if his vote compels such

Reports from the mountain say the
huckleberry crop promises to be large.
Hedgesville has some mischievous
boys who fear neither their parents,
the sergeant or the devil.
This is the season of flowers, and
the woods and fields are gay with
their beauty and rich with their per-
fume.
Rain, rain, rain-the much needed
and long looked for rain has come,
and vegetation is springing forward
rapidly.
Messrs. Wynkoop 81 Son have sold
their store to party from Baltimore
by the name of Bell, and the new
proprietor has already taken charge.
Hedgesville can boast of as hand
some and intelligent young ladies as
any village of it's size in the country.
They are not mere flowers of fashion
either. They are equally at home in
the parlor or the Kitchen. Young
men in search of good wives ought
to visit this place.

But little has yet been done at bass
fishing. The weather has been too
cool, and it has been too rainy during
the past week for parties to try it,
1t will be good fishing as soon as the
weather clears up.
1t has been exceedingly quiet here
for week past ; the stiffness that
broods over us is only broken by the
rattle of the old mill wheel and the
ringing sounds produced by the rapid
action of Franks hammer on the
anvil.
Mr.. Eli Fleming has concluded to

THOSE H64 900 BONDS.

The testimony taken before the
Judiciary Committee on Monday in
relation to the $4,000 in Arkansas
Railroad bonds held by the Union
Pacific Company, and with which
transaction Hon. James G.. Blaine
has been charged as having some
mysterious connection, thoroughly
acquits that gentleman and settles
the question as to who really did get
the bonds. We think the testimony
of Col. Tom. Scott, effectually dis
poses of the whole matter. He tes-
titles, in substance, that he was the
President of the construction COM
pany of the Fort Smith and Little
Rock Railroad Company of Arkan-
sas. He bought one hundred of the
one thousand dollar bonds of the
company, paying for them 80 cents
on the dollar. He became hard push
ed for money, and negotiated a loan
of $64 900 from Morton, Bliss & Co.,
bankers of New York. Subsequent
ly the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany paid the loan for him, taking
as collateral security $75, 200 of the
Arkansas bonds. This explained
how Morton, Bliss Il Co., were au-
tholized at the meeting at which
Mr.. Harrison was present, to draw
on the Company for $4,000.
Now that it has been shown who
did get those bonds, and that it was
not Mr.. Blaine, we suppose the
whole matter will be dropped.

THE INDEP EVIDENT CON-
FERENCE,

The address of the National indie
pendent Conference which assembled
in New York, has been given to the
public. 1t is quite lengthy, and COW
ers the whole ground of complaint
against the corrupt management of
affairs by professional politicians and
incompetent men. The great ques-
ton presented by the Conference was
the opportunity offered by Presi-
Dental election to do something for
the removal or alienation of existing
evils.
1t is of course impossible, in the
course of the few months or weeks
which intervene between now and
the election, to effect radical reforms
if such are needed. 1t is impossible to
change at once or to modify consti-
tutional methods, if they are wrong
or defective. For the present, at
least, our civil service must continue
as it is, whatever inevitable mischiefs
inhere in it's operations. Professional
politicians who devote themselves to
politics as sporting men devote them
selves to their sports, must for while
longer be permitted to work after
their kind. But there is one rene
dial measure which the people can
take, and which the occasion, urgent
ly commands them to take-they can
if they please, elect an honorable,
high-minded President, DESTROYS and
capable of putting an end to some at
least of the evils from which the ma
ton is grievously suffering, and by
which it has been disgraced in the
eyes of the world. The people, we
believe, desire to have such Presi
dent, and they can elect such Pres
ident if they choose.
Now if the New York Conference
has effected nothing else, it has given
distinct and emphatic expression to
the popular wish on this subject, and
has clearly defined the qualifications
which the next President must pos
sess. The Conference has thus done
somewhat to concentrate the desire
and purpose of the best portion of the
people, and it will be strange if it's
manifesto does not exert some decis-
i've influence upon the action of the
National Conventions.

OHIODEMOCRATIC CONVEN-
TON.

The Ohio Democrats have run
mad. In their State convention at
Cincinnati on Wednesday they
adopted the worst kind of an infla-
tion platform and declared for Gov
ernor Allen for President. Such
foolishness is hard to comprehend
in sane men. Their action virtually
kills off Senator Thurman as cam
didate for the Presidency, and he
is by all odds not only the ablest and
purest but the most available man
for President in the Democratic
party to-day. We are beginning to
lose faith in the ability and shrew-
edness of the leaders of the Ohio De-
mocracy. They are surely demora-
lied.
