but knights companions, whether they
be Emperors like the late Gar Nicholas
and the King Victor Emanuel, or their
successors In their several realms, AL
exander and Umberto-all OF whom
have thus been decorated. There are
four officers--the Prelate, the Bishop OF
Winchester, e,r-O6tGiO; the Chancellor,
the Bishop Of Oxford; the Dean of
Windsor, as Chaplain, and the Garter
and King alarms, who is at the head
Of the Herald's College, and acts as
Registrar.
The garter itself Is of blue velvet,
still inscribed with the device chosen by
Edward, and at the installation is bound
by two of the companion knights round
the left leg little below tho knee. The
knight then kneels before the sovereign,
who places the collar and ribbon OF the
order about his neck. The former is Of
dark blue, with golden garter and the
image Of st. George on horseback en-
countering the dragon, inlaid in gold
| And as the monarch arranges the deco
ration, the Chancellor, in q slow and
solemn voice, reads the admonition
"Wear this ribbon about thy neck,
adorned with the image of the blessed
martyr and soldier of Christ, st. George,
| by whose imitation provoked, thou
mavest so overpass both prosperous
and adverse encounters, that,
| having stOutly vanquished thy
enemies both of body and soul,
| thou mayest not only receive the praise
Of this transient combat, but be crown.

The newly-made knight then kisses
hands, and on rising is hidden to send
his banner to float among those OF his
comrades in the chapel of the order at
| Windsor, and on every twenty third OF
April he Is liable to be called upon to
appear i'm the blue silken robes and
mantle Of the rank and with the cross
which Charles I, before his fall, added
to the insignia of the order. It Is dis
tinction greater than any other which
any crown in Europe can confer. The
Black Prince and Marlborough and
Wellington wore it. Frederick the
Great Of Prussia valued it as one Of the
highest honors Of his life, aud the
robes which were sent out to him from
England are still preserved in the great
Imperial Schloss at Berlin. The late
Lord Derby, in the prime Of his powers
and at the height Of his eloquence and
influence, was honOred with the garter

Brazil, to Francis Joseph of Austria, the

thereby unified and consolidated with re-
duced interest.
That it is secured by special mortgage On
properties worth FIVE times as much as the
amount borrowed, and therefore amply suffA@
cient to guarantee both the payment Of interesz
and the redemption Of the capital

FRANK HURD AS A LOBBYIST.
Can this District Afford to Send such
Mnn to COmRress2

When, four years ago, the people Of this
district honored Mr.. Hurd with seat in
Congress, his first use Of that position was
to place 1t and himself at the strongest and
most obnoxious Of the many corporations
that are seeking iavors from the general
government. His duty asa Representative
Of the people, his obligations to his con.
sIituents, we're ignored in his zealons fealty
to his new master, and he distinguished
himself above all the other retainers OF
the Union Pacific in the ability and sue
cess Of his efforts in It's behalf.
So valuable were these services that the
road deemed il expedient to retain him in
its employ, even after his term in Congress
expired. Though this district refused to
return him to Congress, he still possessed
much influence in House made mp Of his
own party, and the pay given him by the
road has been 30 remuneratiye that he has
abandoned his law business in all but the
name, and given himself up wholly to his
new vocation Of railroad lobbyist.
II Mr.. Uurd can succeed in being return
ell to Congress, it will be of sufficient pc
cuniarv advantage to him to equal what
most men would call a small fortune. His
service to his railroad clients will be vastly
more effective as the member from the
important city Of Toledo than as mere
lobbyist on the outside OF the Congressional
halls, He can bargain and traffic for its
interests, control votes, intimidate and out
am . l. 4 l.
important things as Representative, that
he could not do as a mere lobbyist.
This is what lends special urgency 10
Mr.. Hurd's canvass. The Union Pacific
is preparing for an active campaign in the
next House. There are indications OF this
all over the country; men notorious as Jay
Gonlds are being pressed upon the people
everywhere. In this State alone there are
no less than three of these men running
In the Fifth District, man who has been
for years one of the best known and most
unscrupulous of Washington railroad lob
byists, bought his way in the most open
| and disgraceful manner to the nomination
| and similar instances are recorded in every
State. 1t is evident that the Union Pacific
| contemplates an assault in force on the
Treasury, and is making every preparation
to insure the success of such an assault.
Mr.. Hurd's candidacy is a part of this
grand scheme, and the road viii not be
ch"ry OF money nor influence to secure his
election.
The men who choose to vote for Mr. Hurd
will do so in defiance of these patent facts
They can not help knowing that he is a
creature of the roads, since it he and his
friends who have, with strange blindness
to their own dishonor, been most active in
making it known. 1t is not charge aris-
ing out of partisan malice; it is a matter
which Mr.. Hurd and his adherents caused
TO be made known at the outset of his can,
vass for the nomination. Whoever choos-
es to ignore this, must ignore more than
the charges of political opponents he
must disregard the confession of the Grim
mated party. y.-Ioledo Commercial.

cipally by the National organs They are
nll old charges that have been brought up
in former campaigns, and refuted In every
instance. We have before us, and wish
we had space TO lay them before our read

properly sworn to and signed by Justices
of the Peace. The charges about his be-
ing dismissed from the army were promptly
met by the officers Of his Reg't, from
Colonel down TO Orderly Sergeant, in a
communication published in the Toledo

The Democrats and Nationals are quite
ready 10 tear down National Banks, but
what do they propose to give us instead :?
1t Ia much easier to tear down than it is
TO build up. 1t has not been clear to us
that the National banking system is the
best that could be adopted, yet the system
was established by men who were quite as
able fnnncers and quite as honest as the
latter-day financial saints. AS there are
over ninety per cent. of the commercial
transactions OF the civilized world transac-
ted through bank paper, it is very evident
that we must have some kind of banking
system. II the National banking system
is destroyed some other system must be
substituted. What shall it be?

II was unfortunate that President HAYES
should have alluded to the financial affairs
OF the country in his speech at Toledo
While it is about all that the National
element OF that city have talked about for
the past year, il is regarded as an unpar-
donable sin tor the President to speak an
encouraging word to the people on this sub
ject, especially as he was invited there for
the express purpose of getting ten to fifteen
thousand dollars into circulation IN that
city. FRANK ]. scoTT has got out an an
