starts on its journey, Mr.. Hayes
starts for his stumping tour in
Ohio. He will not call it by
that name, nor will his friends,
but that is what it is. He will
not talk politics, he will, per-

medals given away, will have,

of Ohio will have of this new

bounties TO such survivors or to
the heirs of those who were left
dead in the South, were stopped
for the first time. The medals
and the explanation will so we'll
together.

DIR. Bliss of this city, long
the Washington medical adviser
of Senator Morton, is back
here from Indiana and confirms
what he had previously written,
that the Senator will probably
recover almost entirely from
his present attack, but that he
will be unable with safety to at
tend the extra session of Con-
gress in October, and perhaps
will be kept away from the reg
ular session commencing iE De-
cember. Senator Morton, radi-
cal as he is, has many friendA

pays particular attention to the
proposition to increase the reg

that the remedy would only ag-
