REPREsESTATTvEs.-Th far we hear Of
but two positive candidates for the Gener-
al Assembly. Others, we believe, hEYe
been spoken Of either publicly or privately
but they are gentlemen who do not care to
90 into the ro1gh and tumble Of a canvass
to secure q nomination. In the case Of
Theodore Hall, ESQ.,, who name has been
mentioned in these columns under the be-
lief that be would make q very useful as
we'll as able Representative, his increasing
business is such that he does not feel justi-
fed in subjeeting it to the interruption and
sacrifice which an acceptance of the Office
in question, would neceSsitate. A further
objection is urged in the usuage, become
so general, of canvassing the county. His
name, therefore, is not to have place upon
the slate.
Ex-COllectOr FaSsett's name had also
been mentioned by some Of his friends, bnt
after revolving. the thought he came to d
similar conclusion rs that CT Mr.. Hall-he
did not care enough for the Office to enter
into any strife or struggle for it. This,
then, as tar as We know, disposes of all the
Ashtabula candidates.
n. E French, Esq, of Jefferson. has been
brought forward more or less generally,
aud We believe, with pretty general favor.
He is well known, and stands before the
county as a gentleman of sound Judgment,
unquestionable integrity, and an unswerv-
ing Republican. Having made no objee-
tiOn to the use Of his name in this cOnnec-
ton and therefore left the inference THAT he
will not refuse to fill the place if rendered
him, he is tacitly and by common consent,
understood to be candidate.
The only other name that We have heard
spoken of beside that of the present incam-
bent-Who has semi-authoritively express
ed himself willing to be a candidate for re-
election, if the freemen Of the county want
him in that capacity, without effort on his
parts that of Mr.. Henry S. Munger, of
Geneva. His friends urge his name with
considerable earnestness. They are, we
understand, willing to make an active can
vass on his behalf II Ashtabula has no
candidate, therefore. for Representative
she viii probably raise no objection to Ge-
neva bringing out one of her citizens, and
we know no good reason why Mr.. Munger
may not command the confidence and re-
spect OF the voters Of the county. There
can be no question as to his steadfastness
and fidelity to Republican principles, or
his eapability and fsithfulness in the dis
charge Of the trust which an Ell. ctIon to the
Office might commit to his hands. As Mr..
Munger is an active and successful business
man, well known and long identified with
the interests of GeneYa and that section of
the ecounty-whichis commonly looked upon
as an important qualification for dIscharg-
ing the trusts of our fellow men-there is
no good reason, therefore, why Mr.. Nun
ger may not be brought before the conven-
ton with good prospect OF endorsement,
and subsequent election.

Two Years of Democratic Gov
ernment in Ohio.

Two years Of Democratic control of the
Executive and Legislative Departments of
our State Government have been nearly
completed. 1t is the duty Of the people to
examine the character and capacity of this
administration, before giviHgit new lease
of life. If anything good has been accom-
plished, It has been so overshadowed by
notorious greed for Office and measures ma
tured for merely partisan gain that it ought
to be forgotten.
There has been no reduction in State
taxes, and the local laws of 1873 and 1879
authorize an increase of local taxation and
indebtedness of nearly one and one-half
millions Of dollars.
In 1873 the business performed by the new
Governor with the most alacrity and the
greatest vigor, was to search the State Cap
IIul from garreI 10 basement for officials
who had faithfully performed their duties
for years. This search was continued
throughout The State, wherever it was
thought possible to stow away a hungry
Democrat. As soon as these officials were
found they were decapitated, and their
places given TO men who had no knowledge
of the duties to be performed, aud, in many
instances, no capacity to acquire such
knowledge.
Not even the battle-searred veteran, who
gaurded the most sacred trophies of Ohio
valOr-the flags borne by her regiments
during the war-and the One-armed man
who guided the visitors through the State
House, were spared. The officers controll-
ing the Executive Department of the Gov
ernment did all, in their power, to convert
it into mere party machinery.
What was true of the Executive was true
in still greater degree of the Legislative
branch. The first session of this General
Assembly (1878) was the longest ever known
in the history of the State, and it is esti-
mated thas at least fifty-eight days were
consumed IN the consideration of purely
partisan legislation. The same spirit pre-
vailed at its second session, and the people
can comfort themselves with the assurance
that about seventy-fiye days of this Demo-
cratic General Assembly and Seventy-fve
thousand dollars of their money were spent
for party purposes.

NAPoLEoNIsN The leadership Of the
BOnapartists, there is no longer any rea-
son to doubt, will be assumed. by the Prince
Napoleon Jerome. What can be done with
that leadership is problem that only the
pretenders of Europe can solve. The
Prince has been considerate and moder-
ate Republican, and his sympathies are
said to have been ardent toward Poland,
with the north in its anti-sloveny conflict,
and with the people of France against the
Cesarism of Louis Napoleon. Whether
these principles are held with any degree
of peFtinaeity such as would place him
above temptation, could be told better up
on trial, Prince Jerome has also been
vehement and plain spoken opponent of
the clerical, or church party, and while the
imperialists might accept convert from
Republicanism, it is perhaps little doubt
full whether the church would give its iu-
Auenoe to convert from anti-clericalism,
especially when it is considered that the
church has been the center Of the Bona
parte party. These pretensions, and their
defense on the other side Of the water, are
rather amusing to our American sovereign.
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the NJ 2. Tri5-
WHe, has been visiting in this State for some
days, and during that time has taken look
at the political situation and thus states it
in an editorial paragraph in his journal:
The campaign IN Ohio opens with vigor
and confidence, on the part of the Repub-
licans. They are Strengthening every day
by accessiOns from the Democratic or Green
back ranks, and find the old Republican
ranks more united and compact than they
have been at any time since the war The
Democratic managers already realize that
their chance of carrying the State is ex-
tremely slender, and they are hoping only
for the control of the Legislature, having
some advantages in that respect from the
peculiar apportionment. But it is fair to
say at the outset thus their success would
be barren one.

There is no doubt now that the blue
noses got very much the advantage of US
in the Halifax fishery award. The latest
investigation shows thai the value of all
the mackerel caught in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence during the five years covered by
the treaty, does not reach one-ffth the
amount of the award, which is $5, 5OO, 600.

The Rev. DR.. Wm. Cooper Mead, pastor
Of st. PauIs church, NorWalk. Connectl-
eut-over which he has presided since the
year 1S31-died at his residence on Thurs
day of last week, in his s5th year. We
learn that he died as be had lived, IN an
mistaken confidence of certain faith and
hope that. rested simply and solely on
the merits of the Redeemer. His long SER
wee and fullness of years. and his fidelity
to the Master, gained for him the rever,
enee, not only of his parishoners, but the
community. aad the church at large.

himself good judge of human nature. he
understands that gentleness will accom-
plish much more to convince the obdurate
mind than resort to harsh usage. He
called together his colored worknen, who
were on the eve of emigrating to Kansas,
and instead Of using threats, told them
kindly that if they would stay with him
till the crops had been gathered in, be
would furnish them money and rations to
help them on their journey. This was an
all-powerful argument, and the eolored
people ut once accepted his terms.

OFFERED THE PRESIDENCY.

Ex-Governor Brown, of Texas, is au-
thority for the statement that General
Grant has been offereds the Presidency
of the Texas Pacific Railroad. The
managers of the road propose to have
the Presidents salary fixed. at $50, 900
psr annum, equal to that of the .Pres-
dent of the United States. so as to
make its acceptance an object, 1t is
thought that the principal object of the
managers Of the read, in offering the
Presidency to Grant and increasing the
salary to $4,000 a year, is to influence
Congress to grant the company a sub
sidy to build the road. A majority of
the Southern. members are expected to
vote for a subsidy in the event of it's
being asked for; and it is believed that
Grant, as President can influence suff-
Gent Republican votes, to. enable them
to pass the bill. Grant has not yet ac-
cepted the position, but he will in all
probability, unless he has concluded to
run for third term for President of the
United States.

UNACCOINTAgsLE.

The talented young Washoe states
man, who edits the Reno Journal and
represented Washoe County in the
State Senate last winter, says he was
one of the thirteen who was friendly to
the State Board Of Equalization bill
and announces his intention to vote for
a similar bill at the next session of the
Legislature. 1t is surprising that a
man with such record and with such
intentions attempts, through the col.
umns of his journal, to apologize for
those who voted against the E1uali-
cation and every other bill introduced
in the late Legislature that was object
ionable to the railroad companies.
Thai one so truly good should be de-
fender of the wicked, is unaccountable.

A studious- looking man arrived at an
, Iowa county fair with large and in
aicates machine, which he unloaded
with great care from a wagon The
superintendent asked him what it was,
seas to be able to- assign it to a proper
place among the exhibits. Hosreplied
that-it. was an apparatus for making
human beings. Il put the'proper
amount of bone, muscle, blood, and so
on, into this hopper" he continued,
''set the wheels in motion, and the re-
suit within an hour is perfect adult
man orswoman. The only imperfect
ionsin Ills invention, he waont OH to say,
was that the creatures thus made had
no souls, but he hoped soon to remedy
that. He was allowed to set upvthe
machine, and to explain it to, the
crowds; but he was unable to get the
proper materials for AZ practical Illus
tlation.

1t is said that the Emperor Alexander
of Russia has become a confirmed
hypochondriac. He shuts himself up for
days and can with difficulty be per-
suaded to take food, which must be left
at his chamber door. He frequently
bursts into tears, and is afflicted with
strange dreams. On the nights when
these seize him two doctors sit up in his
bedroom. In short, it is supposed he is
mentally affected, and his long seclusion
at Livadia, it is believed, is to be
devoted to a system of treatment which
wilt either Kill or cure.

EvADlNG THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The New Constitution of California
provides that the directors or trustees
of corporations and joint stock associa-
tons shall be jointly and severally liza
bic to creditors and stockholders for all
moneys embezzled or misappropriated
by the officers of such corporation or
Joint stock association during the, term
of office Of such directors or trustees.
TO evade this provision agreements are
being signed by the stockholders of the
banks in San Francisco, waving such
liability on, the part of directors, unless
such embezzlcment or Misrepresentation
shall be shown to be the result Of cor
ruption, collision or negligence of such,
director or directors as. may be sought
ment or misrepresentation, Az
This clause in the New Constitution,
unless invalidated by agreement be-
tween the stockholders and the direct
ors or trustees of incorporated COM
plnies, will make the directors more eau
tious than many of them have been
heretofore. The, rule has been with
the directors of Incorporated companies,
not only in California, but throughout
the country, to make the most of their
positions, and fleece the stockholders
and creditors generally To-day, if a
partnership is formed between two or
more persons to prospect mine, OF do
any other kind of business, they are
jointly and!severally responsible for the
debts incurred. Let taem, incorporate,
however, and only the property of the
corporation, is responsible for its habil-
tiles This has been proved in several
Instances in this county, and9 other
plrts of Nevada. Men have worked
for corporations, and by the chicanery
of the directors have in many instances
been defrauded out of their hard earned
wages, and law holding the directors
responsible, is necessary foE the pro-
lection of miners md all others who are
in the empty of incorporated companies.

Toe Formulation Center.

The exact center now cannot be des-
ignated, and we must walt until an
other. census is taken before it can be
determined. The center of population
has, however, always followed very close
ly the 39th parallel Of north latitude.
In 1890 it was due east of Baltimore
in the Chesapeake; in 1900 it was west
of Baltimore on the meridian of Wash
ington; in 1910 it was near the; juno
ton of tie Potomac and Shenandoah
rivers; in 1920 it had moved to the
boundary line between Virginia and
West Virginia; in 1880 it was just south
of tile 39th parallel, and southwest from
Moorfeld; in 1910 it was almost exactly
on the 39th parallel and due south OF
CiArksburg, West Virginia; ira 1850 IT
had passed west to the point where the
Little Kanawha crosses the Both paral-
lei; in 1860 twas on 1he parallel south OF
Chillicothe. Ohio, and in 1870 it moved
to the north at point just about mid
way between Cincinnati and Chilli
cothe. Its probable that the center Is
now very nearly at Cincinnati, although
the immense immigration to the South
west during the last decade nay posi-
bly, carry it south to the Ohio river

Z In reply to one of many letters from
Republican members eleet of the Ohio
Legislature, asking him whether he
would be candidate for the Senate, to
succeed Mr.. Thurman, John Sherman
has written to a member elect Of the
Legislature from Cincinnati, defining
his position. He says that under no
circumstances will he allow the use of
his name in competition with any Re
publican candidate; that he is not him
self ii candidate, but should the Repub-
hcan members of the Legislatureunani-
meusly tender him the Senatorship, he
might decide to accept.
