PRESIDENT HAYEs's PHREsoLoGY-A PRE-.
DIcTIoS WELL FULFILLED Some one has
come across in the American chronological
journal of March, 1867, the following descrip-
ton of Mr.. Hayes:
Hon. Il. b. Hayes is a good-sized, we'll
formed man. He is between the extremes of
large and small, or lean and stout. He is
every way well made has Il handsome head
on rather handsome body, and a face, that
would introduce him favorably anywhere.
His complexion is light, his skin forid, tenn
permanent composed Of the vital-motve and
mental in almost equal proportions He is
neither too fast nor too slow eXcitable or
sluggish, but he is at once sufficiently ener-
getic original, comprehensive. dignihed and
resolute. He is more profound than snowy.
and has more application than versatility
He will finish what he begins. and make
thorough work. He has a hopeful, happy.
loving nature is eminently social fond of
home and all that belongs thereto indeed,
when surrounded by wife, children, and
friends. he is as happy as a king on his throne,
and rs hospitable TO all as he is thoughtful
and considerate. But to be more specific. This
gentlemanisc omparatiyely young in years, and
younger in spirit. Though he has already ac-
complished much, he has by nOmeans reached
the climax Of his fame He is a rising young
statesman, and, lfspared, will in the course of
fewyears, the front ranks of the best
minds in the nation We base our prediction
ON the following points: First, he has cap
ital constitution, both inherited and acquired,
with temperate habits. Secondly, large and
well-formed brain, with cultivated mind.
with strong integrity, honor, generosity, hope
fulness. sociability, and ambition, and all well
guided by practical good sense. At present
he may seem to lack fire and enthusiasm, but
age and experience will give him point and
emphasis Mark us this gentleman will not
disappoint the best expectations of the most
hopeful" The prophesy of the journal has
been fulfilled, all must agree, to a remarkable
extent

The New Hampshire Republicans held their
State convention at Concord on Tuesday, pre-
liminary to the irst biennial Fall election in
that State, which occurs in November. Gen
Matt Head of Hooksett was nominated for
governor on the first ballot and harmony and
good feeling characterized all the proceedings
The platform adopted is n straightforward
and outspoken piece of work. It endorses the
administration without any qualification, takes
just and tenable ground against irredeemable
paper money, demands equal taxation and
equal rights, and sets ten hours a proper
limit to n days work for man, woman and
child. The fourth plank is as follows:
We believe in no questioning of the presi-
dents title, no trifling with an issue irreyoca-
bly, and justly settled, and no further use for
the useless Potter committee that there
should be no payment of outlawed southern
Claims, and no pensions to rebel soldiers"

Full returns from last week election. with
the exception of nine small towns not heard
from, as published in our columns this week
in tabular form, show that Proctor's total
vote was aG,GsS, and Bingham's 1G 80, with
3oG9 Greenback and scattering. Proctors
majority will therefore vary but little from
1000. In our tables the vote is compared
with that of 1874, as the last previous ''of
year, the vote of 1876 having been largely
affected by the Presidential canvass

THE STATE FAIR.-The 2sth annual fair of
the Vermont agricultural society opened AT
the Bellevue driving park at st. Adams Tues
day, under very favorable auspices. The
number of entries is larger than last year,
particularly in stock, mechanical and floral
hall departments. The exhibit of blooded
cattle last year was universally conceded to be
the best seen in Vermont, but this decidedly
surpasses it. The display of cattle is proba-
bly, the best ever seen in New England.

Last Saturday afternoon Secretary Sher-
man issued an order to the United States
Treasurer directing that on and after next
Monday, Sept 10, legal tender notes be ox-
changed for standard silver dollars whenever
presented by any person. 1t is believed that
the result of this order will be practical re-
sumption of specie payments. Upon its pro-
mitigation the premium on gold fell to I of l
per cent. and the premium will probably en-
tirely disappear during the week, thus making
the paper, silver and gold dollar of equal val
