SENATOR MATTHEWS.

The nomination Of Hon. STANLEY MAT
THEws for the United States Senstorship
from Ohio was made last night on the third
ballot. The nomination will receive the
approval of the whole country. Mr.. MAT
THEws will bring with him into his new
field Of public service ripe experience in
political life, an unexceptionsble charac
ter. and distinguished abilities. He Is q
man who will direct his official labors, not
only in the interests Of his great State, but
the whole country, and his hearty symps.
thy with the Administration will be OF
material assistance to President HAYES and
the nation. The only thing to be regretted
is that BASNING's seat will not be con
tested-s seat which was notoriously won
by fraud, and from all appearances which
will be held by fraudulent person.

THE RAcKMEN AND OUR STREET

THE RICKMEN AND OUR STREETS.
A temporary injunction has been granted
by the courts prohibiting the authorities
from removing the hacks and vehicles that
obstruct Vermont avenue, between II and
l streets. We do not desire to be under
stood as censuripg the judge granting the
temporary restraining order. He doubt.
less based bis action upon proper evidence.
We trust, however. that this case will be
adjudioated without unnecessary delay.
The public are deeply interested in the
result. They desire to know whether the
hackmen Of Washington have q right to
block up the centre Of street
from morning till night against
the wishes and protests Of the
property owners. For several years the
centre Of Vermont avenue at the poin,
above named has been captured by the
hackmen, aud the several attempts that
have been made to oust them have proved
aborliye. We hope that those who are
battling for the removal Of this great nui
sance will exhaust all legal means to obtain
redress and fight this thing to the bitter
end. We have no idea that the courts will
uphold the backmen in their audacious
pretensions. To do so would be equiva.
lent to surrender Of the thoroughfares ol
the Capital to q class whose chief claims
to our consideration rest upon their extor

such procedure on the part OF Federal

the hopes of two national parties, which
