a Picture of President
HayeS,

The Columbus correspondent oi
New York Tribune draws this pic
ture of President Hayes:
Now that it is so well determined
that Governor Hayes will be the next
President of the United States, ]
will briefly relate what manner of
man he is, from my knowledge OF
him during twenty-five years, as we'll
as from what I saw this morning.
Born in 1922, in Delaware County,
Ohio, Governor Hayes is ffty-five
years of age, but casual observer
would take him to be at least ten
years younger. There is not YES
tige of gray in his abundant auburn
hair and the full beard he has always
worn ever since 1 have known him.
Alert, youthful as he was twenty five
years ago, he is forcible example
of the value of an abstemious life.
He was never in a bar-room, it is
said, in all his years he is an utter
stranger to tobacco in all its forms.
Nobody ever saw him take drink
of liquor, or smoke a cigar, or chew
tobacco. These may be negative
virtues in the estimation of optimists,
but, to satisfy them, it can be added
that nobody ever knew him to sac
rifce truth to gain any political or
personal end. Living in full public
gaze for twenty years, and coming out
Of the most exciting Presidential
contest in American history, Cover
nor Hayes is absolutely without
blemish. There are doubtless many
other Americans for whom so much
can be said, but it is something to
be able to say so much for Presi-
dent elect. It can also be said OF
him that the public welfare as he
sees il, has always been his guide. For
nearly six years he has been Cover
nor of Ohio, and during that time
in no case, it is said, has personal
friendship dictated his action. About
a year ago there was vacancy in the
Police Board of Cincinnati which he
was required to fill. A gentleman of
high character was earnestly urged
for the place by nearly all the prom
inent Republicans Of the city, but
Governor Hayes steadfastly refused
to appoint him, and only for the
reason that the proposed nominee
was an intimate personal friend for
many years. During his term the
White House will not be a sealed
book. No more Democratic man
using that word in its general, rot
partisan sense-than Rutherford B.
Hayes, ever lived.

SUIT TO RECOVER MONEY PAD ON A

SUIT TO RECOVER MONEY PAID ON A
FORCED ENDoRsEMENT.-The Cincin-
natl Times of last Thursday says
The Government owed Lewis Ben
nington, of Hillsboro, small debt,
for which D. Taylor, Paymaster OF
the United States army, drew check
for 500. Inclosed in letter the
check was sent from Washington to
Benningtons address, December II,
1867, but he failed to get it. Some
person took the letter from the post
office, and, abstracting the check,
forged thereon Benningtons en-
dorsement, and presented it, January
10, 1868, to the banking-house OF
Evans & Ferris, Hillsboro, for pay
ment. The check was accepted, and
the money paid. In due course OF
business, the check came to the Uni
ted States Treasury, when it was
cancelled by payment of the sum to
the Merchants National Bank, of
this CITY, who accounted for it to
Evans & Ferris. Not long after
wards, it was discovered that Ben
nington had never received it and
that the money was paid in the first
instance upon forged endorsement
The Government demands for a re-
turn of the money being, it is alleg-
ed, often made and as often refused
suit for the recovery of the sum in
volved was, to-day, brought by Dis
trict Attorney Richards, in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court. The de
PENDANTS are Joseph Fl. Mullenix, A
F. Evans and E. L. Ferris, of the
firm of Evans & Ferris, of Hillsboro
and the Merchants National Bank
of this city.

Correspondence of the News
Letter from illinois.

DORCHESTER, ILL.,, March u, 1877.
Mr.. EDITOR Perhaps an occasion
al comm unication from a country
bordering on EGYPT" but devoid of
Egyptian habits, would be of some
interest to the many readers of the
News, a paper that has visited our
home weekly for at least twenty five
years, with only years intermission,
and paper that is interesting, be-
cause it is published where our home
used to be.
The winter of 1867 has been,
without exception, fine one. First
came eight weeks Of cold weather.
with hardly any perceptible change
in the temperature. Then a month
of warm weather, the roads being
very dusty all the while.
The fruit crop promises well, un-
less the frost nips the buds as they
become more advanced. Apple trees
thrive here, and generally afford a
good crop, while peach trees are very
short t-lived, and seldom fur nish any
thing like common crop. Pear
trees are very scarce, and are only
found near the timber, where they
are protected.
The growing wheat looks unusu
ally well for this time of the year.
Many farmers have sown oats, but
the second scene of winter has come
upon us, and put stop to all such
things.
Very little progress in any bust
ness has been made in this part OF
the vineyard since last November.
All have been waiting for ''fair
count" Now that Gov. Hayes has
been rightfully counted in, the Cab
met engages attention.
Carl Schurz, nominated for Secre-
tary of the Interior, is bitterly de
nounced by nearly all Republicans
in this section.
Gen. Bushrod johnson, who was
very prominent rebel officer, is
farming about II miles from US,
He was formerly president of Ten
nessee college, in which Senator
Blaine was professor of mathematics.
A son of Gen. Kirby Smith, the
rebel General, went to the Black
Hills to make his fortune, but con-
cluded to let some one else find it, SO
he started for home. Arriving at
Carlinville, our county seat, his mon
ey gave out, and he is now working
on farm near that place.
Our county, Macoupin, claims to
have the finest country Court House
in the United States, costing the
county about two millions.
Petions from all over the State
are being sent to the Legislature,
asking the passage of law, that no
license be granted for the sale of liq
uor, except on a petition of ma
iority of the voters and aoonaere in
the precinct. If such law should
be made, we say goodbye, thou
vender of poison J!
Gov. Cullom has adopted the ex-
cellent plan of publishing the names
of all who sign petition for the par
don of convict.
Our Legislature proposes to make
a law, that man shall be able to
read and write the English language,
before he can serve as juryman.
