Odds and Ends .

Late on Saturday afternoon the New York
delegation in Congress held a meeting and
decided not to present Mr.. Cox's name as a
candidate for Speakersbip. A committee
waited upon Mr.. Cox and Informed him OF
the action of his colleagues, and he Withdrew
from the race. Subseq uently the delegation
again met and resolved to vote as a unit. A
ballot was then taken, and with the exception
oil two votes the preference OF the delegation
was for Randall, and the support of the en-
tire delegation was then decided to be given
TO him. This action leaked out before the
caucus met, which drove all the weak kneed
and the trlmmers TO Randall's support.
There are various speculatiOns as to the
sure length of the session. Members who re-
are anxious that the session shall be shor:
but those living in states without elections
are Eot in such hurry.
The standing committees of the House will
rot be announced for several days, except
The committee on appropriations. Speaker
randall, II is underst God, will anr ounce this
committee TO morrow, SD that 1t can get to
work at once. Hester Clymer will be the
chairman.
1t is reported that Speaker Randall will
name Fernando Wood as chairman of the
committee OF ways and means, vice Morri-
son.
1t is also said that Gov Swami. of Ma

before the funeral of Archbishop Bailey, the
committee to invite President Hayes TO be
present started for Washington and got
far as Camden station, where they held a

him TO make his arrangements to attend.
They then returned home without performs

New York, on Wednesday, the services of at

The night had come and rain iell last;
While DER the black and sluggish stream
Cold blew the wailing blast.
In pensve mood idly raised
The curtain from the rain-splashei glass.
And as in 20 the street gazed

One shivoring with the bitter cold,
Her garments heavy with the rain,
limped by with features wan aud old,
Deep furrowed by sharp pain.
A child in form. 4 child in years
But from her piteOns pallid lace
The weariness of life with tears
Had washed all childlike grace.

In brOugham was driven to the play;

The Ohio Democrats held their State Con-
yentiOn at Columbus, On Wednesday There
was a scrub-race for the nomination of Gov
ernor, no less than ten candidates being
voted for on the first ballot. Four ballots
were had before the field began II clear. Il.
NJ. Bishop, of Cincinnati, had then Ian up
to 25O votes Gen. Durbin Ward bad LIS;
ex-Speaker Converse, l39 3; y. Y. Rice. IA
ex-Congressman Vance, 5j &; Gen Ewing,9.
Mr.. Bishop was at last nominated on the
seventh ballot, receiving iljI votes to $50
for Gen. Ewing, 93i for Ward, 4j! for Con
verse, and one for Vance. Jabez W. Fitch
was nominated for Lieutenant Governor.
The resolutions declare for strict, conslitu-
tional home rule; supremacy Of the civil
over the military power separation OF
Church and State, equality OF all citizens
before the law the liberty of individual ac-
ton, unvexed by sumptuary laws; absolute
acquiescenee in the lawfully expressed will
of the majority; opposition to all subsidies;
preservation OF the public lands 20 the use OF
actual settlers the maintenance and per-
fectinr of the common school system.
The resolutions also declare that the IL
auguration of Hayes, despite the popular
and electoral majority for Tilden. was the
most dangerous encroachment on popular
rights ever attempted repetition of which
will not be tolerated They undertake to
make capital nut of the embarrassm6nts OF
industry and the diiIcultie~ of lthrr y
charging them To Republican enactmeuts.
The immediate repeal ot the resumption act
is demanded. The decentralization of silver
il denounced as an Outrage and it, rrstOra-
ton to monetary power is called for. The
retention of greenback currency is favored
and further contraction opposed. The couL-
try is congratulated upon the acceptance by
the present administration of the constitu-
tional poliey ,l heal seli-government in the
South.
The Ohio Democrats have uniformly
embodied the most vicious impulse Of our
politics In 1863 they followed Vallandig-
ham reasonable crusade against the Gov
ernmcnt In 1867 they raised the dema
gogue's Outcry against the "blOated bond
holders The next year they were for
Pendleton and reputation. Through the
succeeding contests they invariably denounc-
cd the national banks and the general pub
lie obligations In 1875 they roared 70
Bill Allen and initiation. In 1876 they
declared against resumption. To repudiate
the pledge to pay the debt in coin; to vic
late the public faith to wipe out the ma
tional bark currency and have no money
but grcenbacks to enter then upon a wild
career Of inflated paper; to oppose resup-
ton and every step towards it-thsse have
b,en tic announced purposes of the Ohio
Democracy. Their present platform is the
natural heir of these heresies and embodies
all the new forms of antagonism to the pub
lie credit and sound currency. If they can

TnE proceedings in Hartford seem to in
dicatc that the Charter Oak Company is
likely to he set on its legs again. The com
mittec of insurance men, who are inycstI-
eating its affairs, have gone far enough to
form the belief that lt1 situation is not 50
desperate a. was at one time supposed. The
court modified the injunction 50 far as to
allow the officers to make certain payments
necessary for preserving the interests of the
company and to authorize them to waive the
lapse of policies for non-payment of pre-
miums due since July 18th if paid On or be-
fore August 9th. No reorganization will
receive the assent OF tho insurance commis-
Sioner or Of the court which does not include
the refinement of the present officers and the
reduction of the cxtravagant salaries and
other expense which have been paid hthcr-

policies, since they believe that with CON

~ IS only a truism to assert that educa-
10 alIh Is essential to our form of government.
Inc best government must have the best
men as citizens. A republic could not stand
hcycie OF the moon among IIottentots. and
often reels, totters. and falls even AMONG
races claiming to be enlightened. Democ,
racy must fail when only upheld by igno-
rance and wee, and can only succeed by n
general diffusion of both knowledge and
virtue. In other lands and under other
iorins OF government education NAV he op-
tlonai with us it is Indispensable I'm
taught and unprincipled men may be govern
ed' but they cannot govern they cannot be
trusted. The intellectual and moral pro
Sress OF men is the great force which cripples
nm and binds absolute and illegtimate power.
This force is needed as check in popular
governments quite as much as in those more
arbitrary.

iation are pure and simple. A dense popula-
tion' increasing wealth. voluptuous living,
