The Ohio Convention.

The Republicans of Ohio, in convention
at CinciDnati, on the 18th, nominated Milton
Barnes, for Secretary of State, Judge Will
lam White for Supreme Judge, and George
Paul for Board of Public Works. On the
important public questions that are at pres
ent agitating the public mind, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Finances.-The financial question having
been Opposed of by Congress, and the
country at present needing repose in order
that capital may seek investment, and that
industries may revive thus increasing the
demand for labor, the situation ought to be
accepted, and we oppose the further agi-
tation of the question at this time as in
furious to business and devoid of other than
evil results.
hndustry.-A tariff for revenue should be
maintained and SO adjusted as to secure in
cidental protection to home industry. True
economy requires that the government
should make sufficient appropriations to
carry forward the work on all public build
ings without delay, and this should es-
P~eeially be the aim when the supply of
labor is in excess of the demand. The
mining interests of Ohio require an inspec-
ton intelligently administered, and we con-
denim the action of the Governor in prosti-
tuting the department, the object of which
should be to protect life and promote the
comfort of miners, to a mere partisan pur.
pose.
lnuestigation.-The revolutionary move
ment i~naugurated under cover of investiga
ton, but really an attack upon the Presi.
dents title, calculated as it is to Mexicanize
the affairs of this country, to u general
distrust, to PROSTATE our industries, and ag.
gravate and prolong the distress of laboring
and industrial classes, we unqualifedly
condemn. President Hayes having beer
duly elected, and his title subsequently
settled under the Constitution, by the high
est tribunal, and by the act of both politica,
parties, it can not be questioned; and we
recognize in his administration the highest
integrity and patriotism, the most SINGER,
effort to promote political purity and har
mony, and to secure general business pros
perity throughout the whole country.
Other resolutions, of a local character
were passed.

Alfred's Clock.

In the Life of Albert the Great" by
Asserius, we read that, before the inven-
ton of clocks, Alfred caused six tapers
to be made for his daily use; each taper,
containing twelve pennyweight of wax,
was twelve inches long, and of proper
tionate breadth. The whole length was
divided into twelve parts, or inches, of
which three would burn for n hour.
so that each taper would be consumed
in four hours; and the six tapers, being
lighted one after the other, lasted for
t~wenty-four hours. But the wind blow
ing through the windows and doors, and
chinks Of the wall of the chapel, or
through the cloth of his tent, in which
they were burning, wasted these tapers,
and, consequently, they burnt with no
regularity; he therefore designed a
lantern made of OK or cow horn, cut
into thin plates, in which he inclosed
the tapers; and thus protecting them
from the wind, the period of their, burn
ing became a matter of certainty.

A Tale Of Two States.

bristol Correspondence Philadelphia Press
This is perhaps the only city in the
world that has two mayors and two city
governments, police, ETC., and taxed in
two States. The line between Tennessee
and Virginia is the center of Main street,
and it gives rise to many funny scenes;
as, for example, the runaway couple
need no coach and four but, arm in arm,
step across Main street and are welded.
The fugitive commits acrimei in Virginia,
goes to the pavement on the other side
of the street, and talks defantly to the
officer on the opposite side, who has q
warrant for his arrest. A misstep or toe
bold disposition will sometimes, however,
bring him to grief. Several instance.
have occurred Of a fugitive beingjhustled
across the line by a party prepared, while
in the act of holding such q conversation
and they tell of a man who defiantly
perched himself on a pile of store boxea
within six feet of the line, jeering til.
officers on the other side, but, unfortu
nately for him, some law-abiding citizens
tilted the boxes, and when he reached
the ground he was in the other State.

NEWS SUMMARY.
WashinGten.


In response to an inquiry, Secretary
Evarts a few days ago said that the Nations
which had acceptedinvitations to the Silver
Conference were Greece, Switzerland, Hol-
land, Russia and Austria. Discriminate
answers had not yet been received from
Germany, England anu France. The Sec
vetary has hopes, however, that the response
from England and France will be favorable,
but as yet he has no official information one
way or the other. Those Powers, as he is
informed, have the question under consider
alton, and he expects determinate answers
within a short time.
The Senate Committee, which was ap-
pointed at the request of Senator Matthews,
held its first meeting on the 18th, but &C.
complished nothing. There seemed to be a
good deal Of indifference in the committee
as to the whole matter. Several members
are reluctant to serve, and fear that they
viii be kept here in hot weather, when they
claim that they prefer to be at home at
tending to private business. There is a
general feeling among them that they will
not 60 farther into the matter than is abso-
lutely required by the Senate instructions.
On the 18th, the House Judiciary Com
mittee agreed to report a resolution declar-
ing that the Electoral Commission created by
Congress, had decided the result Of the Presi-
Dental election, and that both houses having
ratified that decision, Congress had nc
power to reconsider or rescind it. This
resolution was agreed to by a vote of Messrs
Harris, Hartridge, Stenger, McMahon,
Culberson, Frye, Conger, and Lapham in
the Affirmative, and Knott in the negative
Butler and Lynde were absent. The resolu
ton was prepared by Hartridge, who pre-
faced it with a preamble which was often
sive to the Republicans of the committee
because it declared that President Hayel
was elec'ed by fraud, and the Republican
would not consent to having the resolution
reported to the House unless the preambl,
was stricken out.

The West.

News special from Mason, Texas: Mr..
Brewer, from the Big Salinas River, Kimball
County, reports numerous Indian depre-
dations and raids having been committed at
Junction City; also on Big and Little
Salinas Rivers, and the highway between
Mason and Junction City. On the night of
the 9Th the Indians captured four horses of
Mr.. Brewers, from in front of his house,
killing and eating two. Another attempt
on his stock was frustrated by his being on
the alert. Later, rangers pursuing the
raiders approached near enough to kill four
of the Indians horses while the Indians
were retreating.

having approached witness. Other witnesses
were examined, but nc definite testimony
as to fraud was given.
