n We are out of it again. Here, after we
had fixed up our plan by which the vacancy in
the office of Lieutenant Governor could be filled
without trouble or expense, somebody discovers
that the Constitution makes no provision fol
filling vacancies in the offices of Governor OF
Lieutenant Governor by election. If the Gov
ernor's office becomes vacant, the Lieutenant
Governor takes his place; if the Lieutenant Gov
ernor slides out of Office, the President pro TEN.
of the Senate comes in. We are sorry, on one ac-
count. It would have offered such an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate how easily, and
cheaply, and unanimously the place could have
been filled, simply by adopting our suggestion.

n Hayes smells danger in Ohio. His organs
in that State are calling upon the Republicans,
in frantic tones, to endorse him at their Conven-
ton, to be held at Cleveland, August 1st. They
say Ohio must endorse him-that it will never
do for his own State to go back on him. We
presume the Convention will be packed for this
purpose. 1t is the only way in which Ohio can
be made to endorse Hayes-and then it will re-

ry Usage County has her eyes fully open on
the railroad bond question. Last week, the
County voted on the proposition to issue bonds
to projected railroad the vote standing, 1872
for the bonds, and 1,3l7 against. While SO many
Counties struggling to get rid Of the oppress-

aging to know that the people of some of the
Counties have sense enought to keep out of the
trap.

passed through it with his credit mistaken.

ANOTHER PROP GoNE.-A cause is pretty
weak, when its managers have to trump up sup
port, and falsify the position of eminent men
Recently the National Republican stated, and the
Hayes organs all over the country repeated th at
Ben. Wade had become recouciled to the Presi-
dents's policy. The statement bore all the fea-
lures of frst-class lie. Wade is o man who
knows what he is talking about, and does not
express an opinion until he is satisfied that he is
right. If he was disgusted with Hayes policy
two months ago, it is hardly probable that he
would fall in love with it after every develop
ment but added to its infamous character, and
when thousands of its former endorsers had be-
come disgusted with it. But Mr.. Wade himself
sets the matter at rest, in letter in which be
says:
while am now, ever, Republican, anx-
ions for the success Of that party, believing that it
has done more to sustain the rights of and pro-
mote the principles of just government than any Do
liticai organization of which have any account
cannot permit my sentiments 70 be misrepresented
should like to know who or what is your ire
liable authority for the above statement. Certainly
have authorized no one to make such q statement
or any other. Since my letter to Mr.. Painter which
surreptitiously Published. l have written to no
upon the Presidents policy, and have spoken to
very few persons upon the subject and then always
in defense of the sentiments of that letter which few
hereabouts oppose regret TO say that all that has
since transpred in the South and North has but con-
pressed in that letter will add that greatly fear
that this policy, under color of what Is called local
sef-governmeDt, is but an gnominious surrender of
the principles of nationality for which our armies
fought. and for which thousands upon thousands of
brave men died, and without which the War was a
failure, and our boasted Government myth

g We learn from able Hayes organ, that
the of6ce-holders and politicians squirm and kick
against the Presidents policy. The week before,
We learned from the same source, that the Office
holders all endorsed Hayes policy. You pays
your money, and takes your choice.

GOOD DOCTRINE.-The following, from strong
Democratic paper contains sound sense:

UOUD DOCIRINE.-Iu nc IOiI0wlng, from Str0ng
Democratic paper, contains sound sense:
The spoils do belong to the vctors. The work Of
politics should be done by the official class The
penses of that work should be borne by that class
The Offices of the Government should be filed by
those who belong to the party in power and all who
have supported It in the field. These should be the
governing class, for long the people have voted
assened to, the incumbency of the party they be
long to- the rewards should be proportonate to the
ability and success Of the workers.-Brookiyn Eagle

ed into the same number of lines. When the
Democratic party gets into power, We do not
find them breaking down the party by prohibit,
ing its members from working for its interests
under the hypocritieal guise of Civil Service Re-
form.

a New Remedy for WAX cfulncss

To those whose brains will not snbsi.l,
when the time for rest has arrived. DR.
John +. Cook. of Henderson. Nv. pro
poses very simple method of securing
prompt and refreshing sleep without the
aid of drugs. When the mind is active.
the circulation in Tie brain is correspond
ingly active; we breathe more Frequently.
and the movement of the heart is mort.
rapid and vigorous. On the other hand.
when the mini is at rest. us IN healthy
sleep. the circulation i'm the brain is notably
diminished. the heart-beats are less rapid
and forcible. tile breathing is peIreptibly
slower. In the wakefill state. the mind, az
a rule. is intensely occupied. whence we
may infer an increased amount of blood in
the brain. DIR. Cooks suggestion is to
Withdraw a portion of this from the head,
or lower the brain circulation by taking
deep and slow inspirations-say twelve or
fReena minute. BY this means the action
of the heart will become slower and feebler.
less blood is thrown into the brain. and
very soon quiet feeling. ending. in sleep.
is Induced. As by a slight effort Of the
will. any one may try this. we leave the
question Of its value to the test of actual
experiment.

When Senator Morton was a young law
yer. just getting into pr~ctice. he had a
case the success of which depended on !.
single authority in some of the State Re
ports. In the course Of his reading he had
noticed ii. but now that it was needed Ike
could not find it. Two days We're spent in
earnest search, AMI the case was set for the
next morning. At midnight it had no,
been found. and he retired exhausted and
disappointed. But while asleep he dream
ed that the authority wanted was in the
Massachusetts Reports. The volume and
number OF the page appeared. and even the
opening sentence stood out before him.
The supposed delight at finding it awoke
him from sleep: and. although it was two
O'Clock in the morning. he hurric,lly d, ess-
ed and walked to his office. where he found
the decision just rs presented in the dream.
Before noon he had won his case.
