WHAT'S In A NAME2-During The bet
ter portion of Mr.. Sherman's public life
we heard him called the Hon. John Sher-
man. When he took sides with the
bondholder against the laboring man, we
heard him called "0hio's elongated iCi-
cle." And now, since he lent his inhu-
ence to the Louisiana fraud, which re-
suited in stealing the Presidency, we
have heard him, not inaptly, called Aunt
Eliza Pinkston Sherman-WhiCh being
interpreted, means. stealer Of the Presi-
dency.-Ohio Liberal.

WE suppose the "addlepsted" galoots

between Mr.. PreYer and A. McGregor.

Blessing the Waters.

The Belgrade correspondent of the
London Times writes under date OF
January Is as follows:
Yesterday the annual ceremony of
blessing the waters was performed by
the archbishop on the bank of the riv-
er Save-a rite which is observed in
all countries where the Greek faith
predominates. About $50 In the NOR
ming the service was held in the cathe-
dral, at ten the garrison of Belgrade,
with the military band, marched down
to the river side and formed in line
opposite stard erected on the quay;
about half an hour afterward proces-
sion marched from the cathedral to the
stand. The column bore four very
large square banners, with figures of
the saints painted on them, canopy,
under which marched the Archbishop,
aud number of rods surmounted by
discs of metal surrounded with metal
lie rays. An improvised altar, with
candles, was placed upon the stand,
with barrel ofriver water in front of
it. The services at the altar were
long, and were interspersed with
chants and the firing of artillery from
the old fortress. At the conclusion of
the service the archbishop stepped
down from the stand, and with large
brush commenced sprinkling the wa
ter from the barrel over the adjacent
crowd. His Grace then proceeded to
sprinkle the Servian Army, and many
of the populace ran to the edge of the
river and filled bottles and jugs with
the newly consecrated waters. 1t is
usual for several people to plunge into
the river at this stage of the proceed
ings, but this year this feat was not
performed, an omission which I sup
pose will be attributed by the ecclesi-
astical authorities to the progress of
modern in6delity.' After the sprink-
ling was completed the procession
marched back to the cathedral.

DIED

AT "Wellswood," on Friday, February
23I, 1877, MARTHA l.. DENT, con-
sort of the late THOMAS J. WELLS.
1--WE bent to day DER coffined form,
And our tears fell softly down;
We looked our last in the aged face,
With its look of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like silver crown.
She sleeps! in churchyard fold
We've laid her down to rest;
Her hands, like Saints of old,
Crossed meekly on her breast.
She sleeps! Her conflict done,
With doubts, and hopes, aud fears
No mole shall sin o'ercome
Or she shed Borrowing tears.
She sleeps! Dust back to dust
With tears and signs we gave,
'Tis thine till rise the just,
Oh, all-devouring grace!
She sleeps! as suffering clay
10 toll, and pain, and sim
She wakes to bliss Away
Heavens pearly gates within.
She sleeps! All, never more!
But with immortal ray
Stands, crowned, Gods throne before
In realms of endless day"

HISTORICAL PAIR OF SCISSORS.

Among the relics loaned to the
did South exhibition by the town of
Concord are pair of scissors, of
which the following very interesting
story is told;
A young English staff officer was
frpouently sent to Concord to the
hose of Colonel James Barrett, on
hnsiness connected with the commits
sary department, and while waiting
for reply would amuse himself by
talking loyalty with james Barrett's
oldest daughter, Millicent, to hear
her rebel replies. He asked her
what they would do if it should be.
come necessary for the colonies to
resist, as there was not person that
even knew how to make cartridges.
She replied they would use their pow,
der horns and balIets Just as they
ohot bears. THAT said the young
man, "wonld be too barbarous. Give
me q piece of pine, and | will show
Won how" After whiting the stick
TO the proper form, he took the scis-
sors and cut the paper for the pat
tern cartridge. The sequel shows
how apt q scholar she was, for all the
cartridges were made under her su
perintence by the women of Con
cord. her only male assistant being
her younger brother, the late Major
James Barrett, who drove the last
load of cartridges from the house af
fer the British came in sight on the
10Th of April, 1775. There is also
m exhibition a hvmn book, which

from the British brig Boxer in the

land, to the sheriff who brought him

there are whisperings that when HAYES
is inaugurated he will recognize the
Government of Nichols. This would
be advertising and confessing the
traudnlency of his own title to the
Presidency, to be sure, but that is al
ready patent to the world. There
have been rumors that Mr.. Hayes has
been engaged in the seduction of some
OF the Democrats of the South. We
cannot vonch for the accuracy of these
reports, bat we have no hesitation in
saying that there is something peculiar
In each of these three Southern Statet.
There are some curious condolences,

Strong on Thieves.

Mr.. Justice Strong, one of the three
partisan Judges who hold that stolen
goods belong to the person in whose
possession they are found, was called
upon little more than two years ago
to deliver an opinion in the case of
jackson against Ludeling, brought be-
fore the Supreme Court or appeal from
the United States Circuit Court for the
District of Louisiana.
In this case a railroad, the Vicks.
burg, Shreveport and Texas, had been
stolen from its owners by a comblna-
ton of rascals, headed by Labelling,
the Infamous Chief Justice of the Lou
isiana arpet-baggers. The conspira-
tors had acted from first to last in &C.
cordance with the forms of Louisiana
law, and the robbery, shameful az it
was, had been confirmed by the lower
court. Mr.. Justice Strong, however.
decreed reversal of the Judgment OF
the court below, holding that technical
legality was no protection for trans
action essentially and notoriOusly
fraudulent. He did not then refuse to
go behind the forms of the law, but he
went straight to the real facts aud ex-
posed the fraudulent nature of the
transaction, characterizirg it as "a
great wrong, perpetrated by the agen-
cy of legal FORMS" We quote his
words:
The complainants rely upon no ir-
regularity Of proceeding, upon no ab-
sence of form. The forms of law were
scrupulously observed. But they rely
npon faithlessness to trusts and com
mon obligations, upon combinations
against the policy of the law and
fraudulent, and upon confederate and
successful attempts to deprive them
wrongfully of property in which they
had a large interest. Homologation is
no obstacle to such IA claim"
Having declared that neither a
scrupulous adherence to the forms of
law nor the confirmation of the Circuit
Court should protect the thieves in the
enjoyment of their plumber, or could,
give validity to their title. Mr.. Justice
Strong went on to say:
"Were we to sustain it, we should
sanction Il great moral and legal
wrong, give encouragement to faith
!esSntss To trust and Confidence re-
posed. and COunteRancp combinations
10 wrrSt by The forms ut law from the
nnntormed and coutiding their just
rights"
In the case Of the People against
Rutherford d. Hayes and others, the
greatest case that MIR. Justice Strong
upon to judge, the possessors of the
stolen property have obtained it rot
only 10y confederate and successful
attempts to wronginily dcprive,H but
by countless direct violations OF the
forms OF the law. They cannot, like
the. Louisiana railroad robbers, plead
formality anu homoIogation. Yet Mr..
Justice Strong, with Justices Bradley
and Miller, join with Morton, Garfield
aud Hoar in refusing even to inquire
whether the thieves have taken the
trouble to observe legal formality in
consummatlng their stupendous crime.

maintenance Of the State Govern

military, and that he must concurin
this manifest feeling. The troops
will hereafter, as in the past, protect

March l, 1877. J


To THE PRESIDENT
Statements are authoratively mad.
here that you have announced you,
purpose to withdraw the United
States forces from the various posi-
tons to which they have been assign
ed in the interest of peace and pub,
lie veal in this city, and to state SO
soon as the electoral vote shall have
been declared.
1t is further stated that assurances
lave been given on the part of Mich
oils and his supporters, who I may
state, are identically the same or
ganization under the name Of the
White League, that rose against the
State government in 1874, and were
suppressed by your order, that if the
support of the United States troops
be withdrawn the government, of
which am the head, would disinte.
CRATE and Nichols be installed with
out violence and bloodshed.
1t is currently reported and be
lieved here, on the other hand, that
the White League are under orders
to attack the State House, and will
10 so as soon as the soldiers are with
drawn from the city, their purpose
being, by the annihilation of the of
ficers of this government, to leave no
Republican State government for
your successors recognition. The
validity of my title as governor hav-
ing been passed upon by the only
tribunal known to the State laws,
and being now confirmed by the de-
cision Of the national tribunal. |
deem it my duty to maintain the
government by all means at my
command.
| therefore most respectfully, but
urgently request to be informed
whether any changes be contempla-
tod nv Won in orHarc harat n rrra ,ri van
to Gen. Augur commanding this de-
partment, in order that I may be able
to take such measures as the circum-

tive of the State may seem to re-
quire, and l again most respectfully
request at your hands the recogni-
ton of the legal State government.
