RECEPTION TO GOV. HAYES.

The citizens of Columbus, Ohio, without dis
tinction of party, rendered farewell reception
to Hon. r. B. Hayes, on the eve of his depart
ure for Washington, at which there was much
Misunderstanding and speech-making. Gov Hayes
spoke as follows: Mr. President. Ladies. and
Gentlemen: shall make no attempt to de-
scribe what have felt during the progress of
this reception, nor what I feel now that it is
drawing to close. wish in the simplest way,
and with the fewest words, to thank the citizens
Of Columbus and the members of the General
Assembly, the State officers, and the people of
Ohio who have taken part in it, for their very
great kindness to me and my family on this and
many other occasions. The city of Columbus
and it's people have very many and great claims
to our affection and gratitude. 1t is more than
forty years since became acquainted
in boyhood with Columbus, and from
that day to this many of my most
intimate friends have been among its
citizens. Many are gone. look in vain among
those we have met this evening for some who
were once numbered with my most familiar ac-
quaintances. few are here whose acquaint-
ance made during the first well-remembered
year of the cholera, the year 1888. Among
these are the Chairman of your Executive Com
mittee Mr.. William Deshler, and then saw for
the first time his older brothers, but very many
of my early friends of Columbus are gone.
Among those ! knew, and remember well for
their friendlness to me as boy. and who are
no longer living, are such well-known citizens
of earlier days in this city as Joseph Ridgeway,
ST., Joseph Ridgeway. Jr., Samuel Medary,
Alfred Kelly, Gustavus Swan, DR.. J. G..
Jones, John Noble, NJ. J. Gilbert, and many
who we're nearer my own age, such as Thomas
Sparrow Fitch, James Matthews, Albert B. But

minded by the absence of these friends of the
changes which we must expect in the years that
are before us. As for myself and my family
we go, perhaps to return in few days to oc

Possibly we go to other scenes and duties not to
meet you again as fellow-citizens of Columbus.
In that event wish to say as Mr.. Lincoln said

may have that divine assistance and guidance
without which cannot succeed, and withwhich
I cannot fail.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA DECISION.


r The report of the Electoral Commission to
the two houses of Congress, giving the grounds
on which it reached it's decision, is signed by
Messrs Bradley, Edmunds, Freinghuysen,
Garfield, Hoar, Miller, Morton and Strong. 1t
reads as follows: FXNR II
The Electoral Commission, having received certain
certificates and papers purporting to be certificates
and papers accompanying the same of the electoral
vote from the State Of South Carolina, and the OBJ
ections thereto reports that it has duly considered
the same and has, bya majority of votes, decided,
and does hereby decide, that the votes of c. c. Bow
en-, John Winsmith, Thomas B. Johnston, Timothy
Hurley, w. B. Nash, William Cook and William F.
Meyers named in the certificate of Gov. Chamber
lain which votes are certified by said persons, as
appears by certificates submitted to the commission
aforesaid, and herewith returned, are the
votes provided for by the constitution Of the United
States, and the lawfully to be counted as
therein certified namely: Seven votes for Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, of the State Of Ohio for President,
and seven votes for William A. Wheeler of the State
of New York. for Vice President. The commits
sion by majority of votes decide and reports that
the seven persons first before named were duly
appointed electors in and for said State of
South Carolina. The brief ground of this de-
cision u.s. that it appears upon such evidence as by
the constitution and law creating this commits
sion is competent and pertinent to the considera-
ton of the subject that the aforementioned cleo
tors appear to have been lawfully appointed such
electors of President and Vice President of the
United States for the term beginning March T. 1877
of the State Of South Carolina and that they voted
as such at the time and in the manner provided for
by the constitution of the United States and the
| law, and the commission has by majority of votes
decided that it is not competent under the constitu
ton and law to go into the evidence GlGur,de the
papers opened by the President of the Senate to
prove that other persons than those regularly GER

coriing to the determination of the appointment by
the returning officers for elections in said State
prior to the time required for the performance of
! their duties had been appointed electors, or by
counterproof to show that they had not that the
determination Of said returning officers was not in
accordance with the truth and fact the commission,
by majority of votes being of opinion that it is not

EPIDEMIC OF Business may be
dull, but gossip and scandal never were
more lively than during the past two months.
Neither man, woman or child is safe, and
the lovers Of evil tidings are in a very para.
disc. A business house eau hardly take an
inventory without starting bankruptcy re-
ports, and, if an unknown man is seen sit
ting in store, some knowing ass Immediately
announces him as a sheriff's keeper. If a
business man leaves the city without tel ling
the neighborhood where he is going, the
chance is that next day will report he has
run away from his creditors; aud, shou Id
he stay away day longer than he anti ci-
patod, somebody will be consoling his wife
over her husbands running off with another
woman. AS for an unmarried man, there
isn't the least safety for him anywhere. II
he speaks to young lady on the street he's
surely engaged to her, or ought to be (; aud
it he doesn't have anything to say to the
girls, it is because he is "mixed up with that
affair, you know" Those who pretend
to know, say that the girls are even more
merciessly handled by idle tOngues,-but
then there are lots of naughty stories around,
and we won't tell,-SpiagfeM Republican

THEOLOGY AND CHRIsTIANIrY.-Wh
will the world understand that theology is
not Christianity? One is human, the other
divine. When will the world understand
that nothing is truer than truth and that
truth is no more sacred when it comes TO us
through verbal revelation than when estab-
lished upon uuimpcachable evidence Again
and again, in the history of the world, have
theological dogmas gone down before truth
of science. That which men have believed
through their Interpretation of revealed truth
has not been able to stand a moment before
the scientific demonstration of its falsity
Theologians have fought against it, and they
have invariably been driven to the wall
Truth, wherever found, is sacred because it
is truth, and had its birth in God. Mau's
opinions Of truth are never sacred, because
they have their birth in his imperfect and
falliblo reason. We know of no reason why
theological dogma is any moro sacred than
a political dogma. We cannot understand
why, 10 the interest of Christianity, it may
not be as freely discussed and examined and
contrOverted, as dogma in political economy
AT any rate, we propose to do it whenever
we have occasion. We are happy to be-
lieve that the world is beginning to appre
bend that, after all our disputes and discus
sons upon dogmatic Christianity, religion
consists of love to God and love to man,
and has its final result and grand consum.

The people are all impatient to try arbi-
tration, because that ends the dispute and
refers the whole matter to the tribunal of
reason. But Morton, Sherman and Chan
dler opposed it openly and secretly with all
their might. The reason is not far to seek.
As the dispute stood before Senator Elmunds
and Conkling advocated the new measure,
Morton fairly welded the full power of his
party, and by the operation of the caucus
could force the senators named into line
1t was plain fight, one party pittcd openly
against another, and Morton at the head Of
the republican forces; as it now stands
his desperate leadership is gone, aud he Cam
not compel the cooperation of such repub-
lican senator's as Edmunds, Couking and
Frelinghuysen on party grounds. Nothing
shows better that the question is really
taken outside Of the limits of the party dis
putes. Morton's determination is simply to
keep it where he can manage it himself, aud
compel the party to follow him.-Boston

Tower of London.

AT the present moment the Office Of works
is engaged in clearing out and restoring the
chapel with the precints of the Tower Of
London known as St. Peters ad vincular,
1t was here that the state prisoners who
died in the Tower or were beheaded were
generally inferred, but according to the GUS
tom, in plain deal collins, and always with
out plates by which their bodies might be
subsequently, identified. Luckily at this
time the secretary to the Office of works is
gentleman who, by his writings as well as
by such portions of his collections as have
passed into the possession of the South Ken
siugton Museum, shows himself to be stu
dent and an artist, and it is owing to his
reverent care that in clearing out the vaults
of the Tower cha pol the dead have given up
some of their secrets. The Tower records
have been carefully searched, and the inform
alton has been applied to each coffin as it
was brought to light. First almost among
them was one lying far down the nave con-
tanning bones which, according to the opinion
Of the surgeon, were those of a woman of
at least sixty.6ve or seventy years of age.
The records show that in some spot was in.
TERED the body of Margaret Pole, Countess
of Salisbury, whom Henry VIII caused to
be beheaded in l541. Near the altar, sin
a common elm tree chest made to put arrows
in we're the remains of another woman,
young and deicately made, and whose
"lyttel necke," would give headsman so
little trouble to sever. These are almost
certainly those Of Anne BolOyn. Not far
off the diggers came upon the remains of
what must have been man of more than
ordinary stature; aud on comparing con.
temporary chronicles with the official records,
these were identified as the remains Of Dud-
ley, Duke Of Northumberland. OF his
daughter, the unhappy Lady Jane Grey,
no trace has as yet been discovered, and it
is feared that in her case, as probably in
that of many others, the later corners have
disturbed the resting.places of the original
occupants, and as in no case was there
even the pretense Of honor or respect shown
to the remains Of state criminal, it is not
improbable that Lady Jane Grey and her
coffin may have long since been ground
to powder. Amongst the other persons
buried in the chapel may be mentioned Sir
John Eliot, the Duke of Monmouth, Robert
Devereux, Earl of Essex, and the Lords
Balmerino, Kilmarock and Lovat, implicated
in the Scottish rebellion Of 1745.-LOndon

Mr.. WHEELER, possible vice president, was
just charmed with the Hayeses. Ia five
minutes after he had met Gov. Hayes they
understood each other like brothers, and the
sincere and unaffected greeting of Mrs Hayes,
as she stood Hospitality in the doorway when
the carriage drew up before the governors
mansion, is charming picture in memory
He required with peculiar pleasure to the
incident of her bringing forward her colored
servants, IN group, to shake hands with
him, before the multitude of outsids callers
had had their turn, and of her telling him
that they understood how much his name
meant TO their hopes as q people. He told

her home manners into the White Honse, and
keep them unchanged by the atmosphere of
