The relic of bygone day, the Hon.
Montgomery Blair, is bidding high
for the United States Senatorship
from Maryland His political history
has SO many blank pages upon it that
he has determined to fill one up with
a record that shall live. He has pre-
sented memorial to the Legislature
to which he was elected, asking Con
gress to provide for a judicial deci-
sion as to the title of President
Hayes. 1t is perhaps to be regret
ted that Mr.. Blair's long seclusion
from the world has made him COM
parai.vely ignorant of events that
have occurred during the last decade,
but it is d little singular that he did
not find out that the title of Presi-
dsnt Hayes has been passed upon !;
that Congress erected a tribunal to
decide it. and that it can no more
erect another appellate court to sit
up0n the Electoral Commission than
it can turn back the course of the
Mississippi by Legislative enactment.
Mr.. Blair seems TO think that he can
stop the march of time by simply
turning back the hands on the face
of the clock. North .7nseyican.

to witness a marriage The priest
had commenced the ceremony when
smoke was discovered issuing from
the ceiling. The couple glanced up
and calmly told the clergyman to pro

soon united. A piece of the ceiling
cracked and fell, causing general
stampede, in which several persons
were slightly injured. The flames
were soon subdued, but not until
damage to the amount of $1,000 had
been occasioned.

A Rejected Lovers Expedfent

The Groesbeck (Texas) New Era
records the singular courtship of a
Prairie Grove gallant as an illustra-
ton that faint heart never won fair
lady. He proposed, but was gently
refused He went second and third
time with the same result; but at
length he rode over one evening and
told her he would neither eat, sleep,
not speak until she consented to be-
come his bride. She invited him in
to dinner; he shook his head. She
talked on; he merely looked detected.
Then she requested him to take sup
per; negative shake of the head
was the only reply. She played, sang
and chatted on till bedtime, when a
servant showed him a room; a mega
tive shake. She tripped away to her
chamber; he sat determinedly still.
About twelve o'clock she came back
and said, Il don't wish to cause the

BANKS.

The great Darlington Savings Bank
Mass, has suspended payment pending
an investigation by the State Bank
Commissioners. The officers arc con-
fident that the bank can meet all its
liabilities. The deposits are S407, 900
and tbs total liabilities S4l4,000.
Hick1x & Spear, suspended bankers
of San Francisco on the 7th, made an
assignment to their creditors. Assets,
S35S, ,lSO; liabilities, 1855, 400.
The statement of Peddicord Il Bur-
rows bank, Decatur, Ill , shows the
liabilities to be 800, 600; assets, nearly
$500 900. 1t is believed the institu-
tion will shortly resume.
The following notice was posted on
the doors of the Pottsville Bank on the
morning of 9th /; by the unanimous
decision of the Board of Directors this
bank will not be open for receipts or
payment of deposltors unless otherwise
directed by the stockholders" But
little is known of the banks actual con
dition, but information from reliable
sources places the amount of deposits
at less than $4,000. 1t is believed
the bank has suspended for the purpose
of going into liquidation.
The managers of the Pittsburg saw.
ings banks have decided that Eve per

POLITICAL.


POLITICAL.
A National convention of imitation
lists has been called to meet in Tole.
do, Ohio, on February 22d
There are two hundred and twelve
diplomatic positions in the gift of the
President, including Ministers, Con
suls General, Charge d Affaires, Sec
retary of Legation, Consul, CONNER
cial Agent and Vice Consul. New
York has thirty-six of her sons in the
business, Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania have eighteen each, Maine
has twelve. Ohio sixteen and Illinois
thirteen.
The New Hampshire Republican
State Convention met at noon on the
9th inst, and re nominated, by accla-
nation, Benjamin F. Prescott for
Governor, and for Railroad Commits
sioner David E. Willard was nomina-
ted on the second ballot. The con
vention then took recess, after
which Governor Prescott appeared
and thanked the convention. The
resolutions adopted reaffirmed the
Cincinnati platform of 1876, and
while they admit an honest difference
of opinion in regard to the policy OF
President Hayes, they approve his
efforts to keep faith with the people
subsidies and monopolies are opposed
and free ballot demanded, and the
attempt to reopen the Presidential
count denounced. The resolutions
in opposition to the repeal of the re-
sumption and against the remoneti-
zation of silver are very strong.
At meeting of the State Com
mittee previous to the convention,
the discussion on the President was
very extended and showed that he
had many friends among the mem
bers. The criticism ON W L. Chan
dler's recent letter was very severe
and at times became personal. Chan
dler defended his course in publish
ing the letter, but the sentiment of
the committee was against him and
he was unable to rally a majority to
his support.
Both Houses of the Mississippi
Legislature completed their organi-
zation on the Sth inst. W. A. Percy
was elected Speaker of the House.
The Governor and State officers were
inaugurated on the 9th The Gov
ernor's message shows a healthy con-
dition of the States finances and a
decrease in taxation of nine mills
since 1874 The bonded debt is six
hundred and eight thousand five hun
dred dollars.
The leading Democratic candidates
for Senator from Ohio were Ewing and
Pendleton. The severest opposition
against EwiEg was based on The fact
that be was Union soldier during the
war Pendleton was attacked because,
''by the aid o, fast and pretty wom-
an, be obtained a ciair of $4,000
from the Government which hau been
twice rejected" asserting it was the
the property Of his wards, and then
kept the entire sum himself, with the
explanation that the cost Of collecting
was equeal to the amount collected.
Pendletnn was elected and Ewing re-
ected. Hence we may readily con-
clude that the Ohio Democracy prefer
to be represented by a scamp rather
than BY an ex Union soldier.
1t cost the Senate $1,000 to acquit

is mighty hunter, and keeps a pack
of fifteen hounds, captured an earlsss
wild hog IN the mountains no auricular
appendages, but no oriice in the head
for the admission of sound, and is in
consequence totally deaf. 1t has also
but one eye, which however, is large
enough for two, being nearly two inch
es in diameter. The animal will
weigh about one hundred and sixty
pounds, and is as ferocious as a bear.
Mr.. Miller will send it to the Zoolog-
ical Garden in Philadelphia. Mr. Mill
er is noted deer hunter, who follows
his game on an Indian pony. He late
ly killed four deer on one excursion.

Renudiatiou.

Within the past week rumors from
Washington have been kept afioat,
that certain Republican Senators,
and Representative are intriguing
to put President Hayes out, and put
Mr. Tilden into the Presidential
chair, at Washington. With such a
revolutionary result in view, the old
story, that in several of the Southern
States a majority of the popular vote
was cast for the Tilden electors, Is
revived, and it is alleged that if that
can clearly be shown, President
HAYES will have to vacate the Presi-
dency of the Republic, and that Mr..
Tilden VIII become the President OF
the United States.
Republican Senators and Repre-
sentatives should be the last men to
talk of repudiating laws IN the South
ern States, that had their foundation
idea in the reconstruction laws or
measures that followed the collapse
of the Rebellion. The laws COM
planned of in Louisiana and other
Southern States, are the outgrowth
OF Republican management and un-
der them many officers were elected,
and recognized by all National ad
ministrations since the days of Re
bellion, up to the present time. The
Hayes electors were elected under
the well recognized provisions of the
same laws, and now at this late day,
when Senator or Representative in
Congress on the Republican side pro
poses to help to put President Hayes
out of the Presidential chair because
of the operation of such laws in Lou
isiana and elsewhere, what can the
country think of such meni What
can be thought of men who repudi-
ate laws that they heretofore main
tanned were right, and under the pro
visions of which they helped to seat
Senators and Representatives, and
under the provisions of which State
governments were maintained by
former Republican administrations
Republicanism Will correct abuses,
but Republicanism viii not repudiate
an electoral system to satisfy the
petty spite of few knavishly dis
posed members. Such proposition
is an outrage on the Republican party.
