IT WANTS PRESIDENT FERRY TO BULL
DozE HAYES THROUGH.
From the Ohio.State Journal, Hayes home
organ.
As there was no State authority to which
the custody and counting Of the vote could
be delegated, 1t remained only, as we have
repeatedly attempted to show. TO lodge
this power of receiving the electoral vote,
holding it in custody, opening it and
counting it, d, the Vice President, with
the two houses Of Congress to witness the
opening and counting. He is the custodian
OF the electoral vote and the opener and
counter Of the vote, ministerially, not as
the presiding officer of one branch of the
legislative department, but as the only of
ficer of the national government who
stands in the relation of having no pres
ent estate in the government, but only a
contingent remainder, dependent upon
the possible event of vacancy in the of
flee of Chief Executive. If the election
OF President is to be decided by any such
gambling device, we cannot for the life of
lis see any necessity for all this ponderous
machinery. A much simpler plan would
be to commission some Republican and
John Morrissey to settle the business by
a game of draw-psker.

Concerning the suspension .of the
Washington Chronicle, and its seizure
for debt, announced yesterday, the Star
of last evening says:
Monday afternoon the marshal seized
the effects of the Chronicle Publishing
Company, ander execution issued in the
suit of Alex. II. Shepherd & Co. against
the Chronicle Publishing Company. to
satisfy judgments for $6,700 arrears of
rent, and consequently the publication of
the paper has stopped. For several
months past that paper has been in a bad
way, financially ,and numerous suits have
been entered in the clerks office against
the company, the amounts claimed being
over $4,000. Many of these claims, how
ever, had not pressed to judgment Among
the suits now on the docket are those OF

The Daily Chronicle was the offspring
of the Sunday Chronicle, which was es-
tablished in this city by Col. John w.
Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, in
1862. Its first publishers were Edward
Potts now Secretary to j ohm w. Garrett
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and
Mr.. Miller, now of the Critic of this city
The Sunday Chronicle being received
with favor. Col. Forney was induced in
1868 to issue a daily edition, and for the
first time became "editor and proprietor
of two papers, both daily" After the
war its circulation began to fall off,
and in January. 1871, Col. Forney ssld
out the Daily Chronicle to John M.
Morris, then executive clerk of the Sen
ate, who was aided in the new enterprise
by State Treasurer Parker, of South
Carolina, and other friends In that State.
In June 1872, Mr.. Morris formed a stock

FATE.

Two shall be born the whole wide world
apart.
And speak in different tongues and have no
thought
Each of others being; and no heed.
And these Ger unknown seas to unknown
lands
snail cross. escaping wreck, defying death;
And all unconsciously, scape every act
end
That. one day, out OF darkness they shall
And read iiie's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shah walk some narrow way OF
life,
so nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever so little space TO left or right,
Ihey needs must stand acknowledged face
to face;
And yet. with wistful eyes that never meet
With cropping hands that never clasp, and
lips
Calling In vain to ears that never hear.
They seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisfied; and this is Fate.

Grain Trade.

The Milwaukee journal Of Commerce
ofthis week says:
In the event ofwar not only would no
wheat be exported from the Danube pro-
vinces but it is possible, that it might
have to be imported even there. These
provinces now furnish large part of the
grain supply of Europe. When their ex-
ports are cut off the business is at once
thrown into the hands of the United
States.
In the meantime the Gar and the Sui

Some light is cast upon the manner in
which the prices for public supplies are
kept up, by the proceedings of the slate
ring exposed at the meeting of the Board
of Education yesterday. The practice is
to invite proposals for an article of some
particular make, like the "antiseptic hose"
of the Fire Commission or these Games
slates," which only one manufacturer can
furnish, and of course he can charge
what price he likes. In the matter of
states the plan did not work, whereat
