The journey of Mr.. Hayes through
he South, unlike the previous exeur
ions Of the same parsonage, display,
nne feature of extraordinary suggest
iveness and Importance. We refer to
Il fact that among the throngs that
have surrounded him and cheered him
40 one prominent Republican ha~ been
cen. The representatives, Of the party
shich bore Mr. Hayes to the White
House have ali been conspicuous by
heir absence. DULY Democrats and
ex.Copfedera,ez have awaited him, well
coined bin, and chcered him.
The reason of this is plain Since
SIR Hayes came into power he has
,teadily turned his back upon tie Re
publican party. repudiaiing its ancient
IDEAS, pushing aside its leading men
n the Southern States, and seeking
for friendship aud support in the ranks
# the Democracy alone. Hence the
pecfacle to which we have referred
Hence the plaudits of Democrats aud
ne sullen absence of Republicans
Ills own party stand aloofsfrom him
ecause they feel that he has destroy
d them. The other party crowd
round him because they know thaf he
nas done precisely what they require.

Fulton county received its name
in honor Of Robert Fulton, the cele--
hrated engineer. lie was born IN
Little Britain, in the State Of Penn
sylvania, IN 1865. In his infancy
he was put to school in Lancaster,
where he acquired the rudimeuts of
common English education. Here
his peculiar genius manifested Itself
ut a very early age. All his hours
Of recreation We're passed in the
shops of mechanics, or in the en-
pIoyment Of his pencil. At the
age of seventeen wears, he went to
Philadelphia, and entered under a
portrait and landscape painter.
where he remained until he was
twenty-one. In his twenty-second
year, he went to England, where he
was received with great kindness
by his celebrated countrvman, Ben
iamin West, Who was 50 pleased
with his promising genius and his
amiable qualities, that he took him
into his house, where he continued
an inmate for several Years, de-
voting his time to painting. At
this period he formed many valua-
bic acquaint1nces, among others
with the Duke Of Bridgewater, So
famous for his canals, and Lord
Stanhope, u nobleman celebrated
for his love of science, and partic-
ularly for his attachment TO the me-
ehanc arts. Even at that early
period, he had conceived the idea
of Gropelling vessels BY steam, and
he speaks in some Of his manuscripts
of its practicability In May, 1874.
he obtained from the British gov
eminent patent for a double in
clined plane, to be used for trans
portation; and in the same year he
submitted to the British society for
