GOVERNOR YOVVG

On Friday last, about noon, tele
gram was received Mt Columbus from
Governor Hayes instructing the filing
of his resignation as Governor. Lieu
tenant Governor Young was at once
notified and repaired TO the Governors
Office. Justice Welch. of the Supreme
Court. administered the oath of Office.
The State officers and many citizens
of Columbus were present. The new
Governor made a few remarks, and
expressed himself as satisfied he could
distribute the immense patronage at
his disposal without serious mistake.
Candidates for trustees of Charitable
Irstii utions, and State Libartan, (the
only gifts at bis disposal,) will govern
themselves accordingly.

Hoy. JAEEs q. BLAINE walked up
the Senate on Tuesday and Wednesday
by his speeches on the Louisiana busi
ness. The elimination point was reach
I'd when he produced anc read a tele
gram from Gov. Chamberlain stating
that he had received letters from mEvarts
and Stanley Mathews advising him TO
surrender his rights for the good of the
country. This WAS In relation TO prof
fers for compromise, and was denounc
ed by Blaine in singing terms. The
telegraph associates the name of Mr..
FOster of thi- district, with the others
in working up the compromise, but We
can scarcely believe that our represen
tative could be so short sighted. The
publicity given to this dispatch will
dispel Mathews senatorial aspirations.

A FARCE.

On Saturday last, notwithstanding
the fact that the Commission had de
cided every case in the favor of Hayes
and that all the certificates had been
opened and counted, and Hayes and
Wheeler declared the legally elected
President and Vice President, the
Democratic House, by strictly party
vote, declared Tilden and Hendricks
elected. The next act in the farce was
the swearing in of Tilden, in New
York. as President. The old man will
probably play at the game until he
falls asleep. But the people of the
United States will permit no folly.
Democrats will do well to allow their
arm to rust.

Mr.. HENRY BoLLEs informs us that
he has in his family a cat IL years oi
age, perfectly healthy. The cat was
raised by members of his family from
a kitten.-Hartford Times.
What else did you ever hear of a cal
being raised fromR-N 2 Ledger.
We cannot answer for our Hartford
contemporary, but We have heard Of q
cat being raised from the roof of a coal
shed in back yard. A boy on the
ground raised it with fragment of a
brick. .-Norristoacn Herald.
Well, raising a cat from a coal shed
Is not a very difficult operation. But
we saw one raised from a chicken.
You see, the old man thought more OF
the chicken than he did of the cat, and
when the cat caught the chicken, be
raised bis old blunderbues and fired,
and the result was he raLed the cat
from that chicken in no time, and
scattered the remains all over the barn
yard.

LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CARO-
LIMA

The last act of President Grant, In
notifying the military of New Orleans
bat they were no longer required to
maintain the status quo, looked very
like a desertion of the State officers
declared elected by the Return
ing Board-at least it was virtually
saying to the Nichols government, il
you can get coutrol of the local gov
ernment take it. The general under
-tanding being that the President war
70 take no steps that would compro
mise the in coming administration, this
act could be only interpreted as vic
ialion of that tacit understanding or a
foreshadowiDg of the policy of the new
administration. We cannot believe il
vas the latter, for we cannot see how
ihe new administration can fail to rec
,gniZe the action of he Returning
Board as final, without at least casting
doubt upon the tenure by which il
holds. Either the action ofthe Return
ing Board was warranted by the fact
and sustained by the law, or it wa,
not. The Commission has accepted i
ts final in the case OF the electoral vote,
aud the State officers have priIna facie
ase in their favor How then it cai
oe taken as foreshadowing the action
IF the new administrations seems Ia
rs inexplicab'e. We regard it only a.
mistaken act of the retiring execu-
tive.
