Special 10 the Register.
KELSEY'S STATION, Dec. ,, 1879.
Last Sunday night thieves effected an
entrance to the barn OF Mrs. Eliza Gay,
a mile and half from here, and stole a
new set OF harness, valued at $40 and a
quantity OF wheat. The loss was not
discovered until to-day, and no clue has
been obtained to the perpetrators OF the
act.
Last evening the B. & 5. W. engine
No. 9 met with slight accident near
Woodsfeld. 1t was repaired without
further damage than the delay OF trains.
One OF the cars on the excursion train
which left Beallsville shortly before
noon yesterday, jumped the track a
short distance out. There was some ex-
element, but no serious damage resulted
from the mishap.

BELGIUM.
The Clergy and the Pope.

LONDON, December "A dispatch
from Paris says The Archbishop of
Mechlin, Belgium, in recent pastoral,
asserts that The Pope is not infallible,
except when he judges questions which
rest on the testimony of God and that
of his revealed truth or revealed law.
This is intended to rebut the charge
that the Belgian bishops are guilty OF
Schism, or disobedence in disregarding
the Pope's admonitions respecting the
educational agitation. The Bishop of
Tournay is the most violent opponent
of the Liberal cabinet, and has been SUI
perceeded by an administrator appoint
ed by the Pope. The Bishops mind is
believed TO be unsound.

WASHINGTON, December 2.-The Cab
met session to-day was devoted almost
exclusively to further consideration
of the Mississippi river jetty matter.
The question at issue was whether un-
der the law Eads is entitled to a full
payment for the last quarter, the
channel of the river during about twen-
ty days of that time having been more
or less obstructed, owing to the proper
depth not being maintained. 1t was
finally concluded upon the recommen-
dation of the Attorney-General that
Eads shall receive $4,000, the amount
of his claim, subject to pro rata reduc-
ton for the time during which the OBJ
structiOn existed.

The Senatorial Nomination.

We cannot pretend to be pleased with the result of the Republican caucus for nomination of United States Senator. We shall say noth- ing against our old school-mate and townsman, Orville H. Platt. Nevertheless, no candid person, looking over the votes, can fail to see that but for the utmost exertions of combina- tion determined to defeat Joseph R. Hawley at all hazards, that gentleman would have re- ceived the nomination to which his own de- serts and the wishes of the people plainly en- titled him. A tIlrd of the convention stuck by him through thick and thin. The first choice of the next greatest number was un- occasionally Marshall Jewell. We judge that the third choice of the opposition to Hawley, was Henry R. Harrison. Beginning with single informal ballott the votes proceeded as follows:

There is to be strenuous attempt in the legislature, this winter to reduce railroad fares on the N. Y., N. H.. and Hartford railroad to two cents mile Mr. Vincent Celver, of Da- rien. has the matter in charge and has secur- ed it's reference in the House to select com mittee. The Senate is too conservative. and too full of scared capitalists, to agree to such reference. The railroad committee is always so full of other business thGt it can never find time to look into such matter till it is "too late to do anything this session." A reference to select committee, on the contrary, means business. The reason for the proposed reduc- ton is, that while the cost of everything mar ketable is now reduced frem ten to sixty per cent. ,and while the railroads have not scrupled to reduce the wages of their own employees, fares and freights remain. for the most part, at war prices. There is very strong feeling that it is time that the N Y, N. H. and Hartford Railroad Company, whose watered stock sells for 16O and pays ten per cent divi- dends, should do something for the public as well as for it's stockholders.
Litchfield enquirer., 1879-01-23

The first five ballots, though showing great strength for Hawley, indicate also an inclina tion on the part of the opposition to combine upon Harrison. The sixth ballot was disas- trous to such combination. In total vote which was less by two than the proceeding ballot, Hawley gained six-four directly from Harrison himself In the two succeeding bal lots the opposition managed to recover little but the ninth demonstrated the utter impossi- bility of defeating Hawley with Harrison. In that ballot, four of the men who had been vot ing for Jewell went directly over to Hawley, instead of to Harrison as had apparently been anticipated. The truth seems to be that more than half the Platt men refused to be voted for Harrison against Hawley. This becomes evident from comparison of the fourth with the ninth ballot. Platt had lost in the mean time, just twelve votes, of which Hawley re- seived fully as many as Harrison.
