The annual Convention of the Fayette
Co. s. s. Union will be held at Washing
ton on the 10th inst.
The object of these conventions is for
the purpose of counsel, and advising in
relation to the best means of successfully
conducting and teaching Sunday school.
1t is exceedingly desirable that all who
feel an interest in this work should make
it an object to be present at the conven-
ton on that day. Several of the ablest S..
S. workers in the State have been invited,
and some of them have already engaged
to come.
Some of the most important questions
will be discussed by these greater lights,
and all the Pastors, Superintendents and
Teachers in the county are especially
called upon to make their arrangements
to come and avail themselves of this rare
opportunity to improve and be improved

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Della
ware, o., to the Cincinnati Commercial,
writes as follows:
"Your correspondent met Judge 7. G.
Jones this morning and asked him if he
had anything to say about politics, State
or National. He said he had. Said he:
You may say, if you will, on my author
ity, that General Jones (ex-M. c. and
myself have been talking over the matter
of State Auditor. Ihave held to the idea
that good man ought to be chosen for
that place, for it is nearly as important as
any Office on the ticket; some of the best
men in the party have filed it, and good
man ought to be nominated again. So
| the General and myself, after looking
over the entire field, have decided that
Hon Mills Gardner, of Fayette county
would be as good a selection as the Re
publicans can make. He is an able man,
patriot, a man of business ability and
legal knowledge, and would strengthen
the ticket and make an able officer
tsThe Judge has poor opinion of the
talk about running Sherman for Gov
ernOr."
Mr.. Gardner will undoubtedly appre-
eiate properly the well deserved compli
ment paid him by the Judge and Gener
al, but we doubt whether he has the re
motest aspirations for the State Auditor
ship.

No NAN that the Republicans could put
upon their ticket, as their Gubernatorial
candidate, would make a more lively or
successful canvass than our fellow-citi-
zen, Hon. Mills Gardner. AS popular
speaker he has but few equals in the
State, being well posted on all subjects
connected with the politics Of the nation,
and the interests of the State; and a ready
and lively speaker, he is able to make
favorable suppression among all classes of
people, wherever he might be called to
address them. Mr.. Gardner made re-
cord when in Congress that he and his
constituents, and the people Of Ohio have
reason to be proud of. He would come
before the people free from damaging
weights to carry through political can
Vass and this, in the selection of stan
dard bearer, is matter that should be
well guarded by the delegates who are to
compose the members of the State Con-
vention. Give us a candidate free from
damaging weights to carry, one who is a
true and reliable Republican ,One who has
the necessary qualifications, one who can
command the respect and the confidence
of the people, and he can lead the Repub-
lican party in Ohio to glorious victory
in October next. These qualifications arC
possessed by Mr.. Gardner in an eminent
degree.

The Democratic legislature of this State
has passed law making it a misdemean-
or for any person except a regularly au-
thorise railroad agent to sell railroad tick
cts, the wicked offender to be tried, con-
demned and punished the same as other
persons are who commit petty larceny or
misdemeanors. A person who purchases
a ticket of railroad agent, to go to Gin
cinnati, for instance, and from unforeseen
causes cannot go, and sells his ticket to
neighbor who can go, is liable to be ar
rested on the complaint of some impecu-
nious or demoralized Ioafer, and brought
before a mayor or justice of the peace,
examined, and if found guilty of the
charge may be held to face the Grand Ju-
ry in his county, and if a bill be found
against him he may be required to stand
up before the court and jury and IansweT
to a criminal charge, and if found guilty
from the testimony he is to be punished
the same as other felons. This is Demo
cratic reform this is the kind of protec-
tion the Democratic legislature affords
honest people.

Mr.. HILL, the Honorable member of
Congress from the Defiance District, in
this State, has offered a resolution in the
House of Representatives in Congress,
asking the government to make a survey
of the Miami canal with a view of con-
Quoting the waters of Lake Erie into the
Ohio river at Cincinnati. We admire Mr..
Hill more for his spirit of enterprise than
for his judgment in building ship canals.
There is no doubt but such magnificent
improvement would be a very nice thing
provided it were practical, and provided
also these ships could come from the gulf
coast and ascend the Ohio river to the
Queen city. These two trifing circum-
stances probably are the only distractions
to the perfection of Mr.. Hips proposed
enterprise.
