HAYES 1T HOME.
The President Elect is Welcomed at FIRE.
mont by His Neighbors.

FREMONT, O., Feb "a
Gov. Hayes arrived here this even
ing unexpectedly on the o'clock train,
via Fostoria- An ilnpromrtu ,eeep-
ton was given him at the resid nee of
Gen r. P. Buckland. Many of the
citizens turned out to greet the Presi-
dent-elect, and from o'clock until 10
stream of people was coming and
going. The Light Guard Band sere-
naded him about o'clock, and the
Governor made happy little speech
to them and the other friends assem-
bled After the speech the eongratu
lations continued.
Below we append the Governors
speech.
Gen. R. P Buckland stepped for
ward and introduced the Governor
with these few words.
FRIENDS: 1 have .he pleasure of
introducing our President elect, as we
believe"
Gov. Hayes then said:
my FRIENDS AND NEIGHBoRs: The
manner in which / am introduced
makes it rather easy for me to speak
without much embarrassment, but we
had better stick TO the old titles until
we are sure of something new. In
these times of uncertainty we are often
disappointed. The good news of to
day is often dispelled by the evil news
of to morrow. During the few months
since the 9TH of November / have
schooled myself SO as to not be very
much down, nor very much up, but to
try and keep as near the even line as
possible.
"This kindly meeting this evening /
do nor take so much as honoring me as
a congratulation upon the manner in
whic this strange and peculiar ques-
ton is now being settled No other
country in the world could have endur-
ed such struggle without suffering
lasting calamities. In the event of re
naming among you for the next two
or three years, l win attend the next
annual pioneers meeting and bring a
bundle of letters and notes, many of
which / am constantly receiving such
as curiously drawn sketches of knives,
daggers, and revolvers, but l have not
lost much sleep from any of them yet.
One of the most amusing was received
this week. II was knife about two I, et
long, one edge hacked like a saw, prob
ably for saving the bones, and the
other side for cutting the flesh. This
was wrapped in several thickness of
paper and inside was note as follows
a. This is the knife with which the
editor of the Capital was to assassinate
you with, as you went from the White
House to the Capitol. 1t was taken
from his pants leg while he was asleep"
well, friends, / think / have talked
long enough. As / am in the business
ofshaking hands, l would say that ] am
in excellent physical health, and if any
cf you wish to shake hands, will be
glad to do so, but / will step into the
hall out of the cold.
The Governor then stepped into the
hall, and the band came forward and
extended their congratulations and
shook hands with Tim. Other friends
aud citizens kept coming until near 10
o'clock.
The affair was IL token of the hearty
good will toward the Governor, and
evinced the high esteem with which he
is held by all his neighbors.-Cihctn-
natl Gazette.

Resumption.


1t IS not uncommon, now a-days, to
hear the cry of hard times, more
money and resumption of specie pay
ment, just as if the ofiiciary of the gov
ernment had the power, despite the
opposition of prevailing circumstances,
to resume, by legislation, at any mo
meDt.
The cry OF hard times, from the
voice 81 ignorance, seems to have had
lis effect upon that class of individuals
who claim to know something about
the workings of systems, and the laws
of cause and effect, and the opinion
prevails, especially among the more
ignorant classes, that we are in the
midst of the hardest of hard times, for
all OF which the government is at fault,
say they. Some men are silly enough
TO blame President Grant for the low
price of produce, and especially is this
the case in the ranks of the Democrat
ic party. Not long since, while in con-
versation with Democrat, he remark
ed that if Grant had done his duty we
cauld sell our hay, apples, &C., at a
better price. He said that he was in
favor of more greenbacks and resump-
ton of specie payment. A few weeks
ago, President Grant recommended O
Congress such enactments as would
retire a portion of the legal tender
notes in circulation, with view to re
sumption of specie payment. For this
noble message to Congress, fraught as
II was with the best of advice TO that
body, the President has been keenly
censured by the Democracy, nor is this
confined to the ignorant alone, for the
leaders of that party, have for filthy
Iucre's sake. censured and maligned In

| The Telephone is attracting great
attention in the East. On the even
| ing of the 18th Prof. \. Graham Bell
the inventor exhibited the the instIu
ment and explained its working to 6
large audience in Salem Mass, anC
conducted various experiments show
ing its use. He communicated witt
his assistant, Thomas A. Watson, il
Boston nearly twenty miles away
when an audible address was delivered
by the latter to the Salem audience
A telephone organ was put in opera
tion at Boston, and Auli Lany Syne
and Yankee Doodle were beard dis
tinctly by the audience. Other exper
iments equally decisive we're made

audiences, IN as may different portion.
of the country, at one and the same
time. We apend description of the
instrument.
TIE telephone itself is simple affair
and oue which every person acqusinted
with the electric telegraph would un-
derstsnd at sight. The instrument
consists Of a powerful, compound per
manent magnet, to the poles Of which
are attached ordinary coils Of insulated
wire. Ia front ofthe poles, surround
ed by tl,ese coils cf wire. is placed a
diaphragm of iron, while a mouth
piece TO concentrate tine sound upon
this diaphragm substantially completes
| tie arrangement. When the hu
man voice causes the sensitive dia-
phragIE TO vibrate, electrical undula-
tiors are induced In the coils surround
ing the magnets precisely in the same
manner as the undulations OF the air
are pro iuced by the voice. These IN
dulations then travel through the wire.
and. passing through the coils of an
instrument of similar construction at a
longer or shorter distance, as the case
may be, are again transformed into
air undulstions by the diaphragm of
rhe instrument 1t will be borne in
mind that the vUltaic bs ttery is dis
pensed with entirely, and all that is
needed for transmitting the voice
sounds are the instruments and the
telegraph wire. In this connection a
remarkable popularity of the tele
phone is that practiced ear is able. to
distinguish the voices that speak
through the instrument The inven-
tor claims that as any effect produced
by electricity over a short wire can
with equal facility be produced over
one of 100 or 1000 miles in length, pro
vided the insula ion be good, SO can
the electric wave of the telephone be
perfected to render free and easy the
sounds generated by the human voice
% any length. In fact, with such ad
vances as the system has made of late.
there would seem to be no limit to
which it may be put and the practical
advantages likely to result from it.
rhe invention is now in its infancy, but
40 doubt iL viii soon astonish the
world by what it may be able to do.
1t is probable that among the first
spracticai uses to which the telephone
will be put will be its use by several OF
those railroads that have special wires
used only for railroad purposes. Next
private banking houses and large man.

GOVEREJR HAYES RESIGNS.

1t was generally understood that
Governor Hayes would tender his re-
signation on Wednesday afternoon,
and that Lieut. Gov. Young would be
at once installed in his place. 4 grand
farewell reception bad been arranged
to take place at 1 O'Clock, the cere
monies beginning with assemblage of
the pupils of the public schools ard
the inmates of the Blind Asylum i'll the
rotunda Of the Capitol building, to
listen to an address from the President
elect, and indulge in a general hand
shaking. In the evening there WAS
grand reception in the Senate Cham
ber where all who desired had the
opportunity CT paying their respects to
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes. The arrange
ments fer his farewell reception were
complete, aud the affair was undoubt
edly q most brilliant one rejecting no
nor upon the citizens of the Capital.
The entire matter was in charge of one
hundred ladies and an equal number
of gentlemen.
Al Q O'Clock in the evening the two
branches of the General Assembly of
Ohio convened in 10 Mt session in the
hall OF the House of Representatives,
Senator Curtiss, President Pro tenn. of
the Senate, presiding. A farewell
speech Was made on the part of the
House, by Speaker Grosvenor, anG Oh
the part of the Senate by Senator War
mock, of Champaign county, to both of
which Governor Hayes responded.
Afterwards dancing and a seneral good
time followed. Music furnished by
the United States barracks band and
the Columbus Cadets band. During
the entire evening the Capitol build
ing was Illuminated and all parts
thrown open to che public. The coca
sion was one never, before witnessed
at Ohio's Capitol, and was a fitting
and worthy testimonial to Ohio's most
DISTINGUISHED son.

AFTER the Democracy had discover
ed how plain a case the telegraphi'
dispatches made against Tilden, ,espec'
tally in the Oregon case, they went &c
the Senate Committee and begged the
Committee not to proceed with the in
vestigation. The committee finally
agreed not to do so, ano then Samue
J. came out with a letter protesting
against the arrangement and intima
ting that it was done to shield some
one else. 1t is now probable that the
investigation will be resumed and the
artful dodger be placed upon the wit
ness stand and his bank account bt
brought into review.

residence of Governor Hayes, they
would have been denounced by every

THE Chicago Tribune is out i'll d
powerful article urging the election oi
Oliver P. Morton as President of The
Senate. In view of the threatening
attitude the Democracy has assumed
and the possibility that delay in the
count may be had until after the 4tf
of March, such an alternative is the
height of wisdom. He would then act
as President until a new election, and
the disturbers of the public peace know
him too well to dare a conflict with
him at the head of the government.
'In the time of Peace prepare FOL
war;" is an old proverb, and while
there is yet time to prepare against
trouble, it would be wise to elect Nor
ton. We believe, however, that the
count will be complete, Hayes inau-
gurated, and that the country will
have peace under his rule.
