Mr.. Beacon.
THE Democratic management of the
Ohio Penitentiary saved to the people
in the expenses of that institution the
sum of $24,6O6 80 during the last year,
which is probably the reason why the
Republican Legislature is in favor of
reorganizing it.

Saturday last. Addresses were de-
livered by Colonel A. J. Bowen and
Colonel |. w. Tucker, OF Columbus,
Judge Thompson, of HillsborO, and

frage was the general sentiment. On
the latter question the Convention was
almost unanimous. Committees were
appointed on nominations and resolu.
tions, Judge Thompson heading the
latter. The report of the President
showed an increase of ninety local
Unions with large increase of men,
berships. There were about two hun
dred delegates present. The sessions
were harmonious throughout. The
resolutions adopted declare that prin.
ciples and not party should be sustain
ed; that temperance people should
vote for sober men, that the existing
liquor laws should be enforced and
that local optlOn Dill should be pak g.
ed. The next convention will be held

Where The Blame Belongs.

The Republican papers have set up
a hideous howl over the prospective
failure of the Star Route mail service
and charge that it was the result OF
Democratic economy at the sacrifice
of the interests of the people. When
the subject was up in The Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations, Mr.. Beck,
of Kentucky had an amendment added
to the bill by way of preamble, declar-
ing that the responsibility for the de-
ficiency was caused by disregard of
law by the Postof1ice Department
This is verified by testimony taken be.
fore the special Committee of the
House Appropriation Committee of
which MIR. Blackburn is Chairman. On
the 10th inst. Mr.. Monroe Salisbury
was examined before that Committee,
and, by request, furnished it with a
tabular statement of seventeen routes
in which he is Interested, on each of
which the cost for the expedition has
exceeded 5000 per annum. The la
BILE shows that the aggregate of the
original contracts upon these rontes
was Sl47, 100; that this had been in
creased for additional trips SlS9, ,27S,
and for expedited schedules S2l7, 7,OO5,
making the average compensation now
paid by the department, 1858 .9S3. Mr..
Salisbury was questioned al length in
regard TO the different routes, and adj
mitted that on several of them the
package and express business was
more profitable than carrying mails,
and that if the department should
withdraw extra compensation for in
creased trips and expedition he would
continue the fast service for the sake
of the passenger and express traffic;
that On some routes he had expedited
the schedule beyond that required by
his contract with PostofIice Depart.
menr, in order to secure this business,
and that it paid him to do so.

urally the uppermostsubject of thought
here, hence it is irrepressihle. Mr..
Blaine has resumed his card receptions
and weekly gathers in his parlors hun
dreds of politicians of both sexes and
parties-color alone excepted. He is
an astute politician, and it is shrewd
move for him to mingle with those of
his class in levees just in advance of
the coming struggle at Chicago. He
is in fighting condition this year, as he
is not handicapped, as in 1876, with
personal attacks, and we do not doubt
will be heard from at Chicago next
June, as he was at Cincinnati in 1876.
None of the other candidates are devil
ating from their usual outward course,
though their friends are hard at work
pulling wires.
The anamolous political position of
Virginia is a source of concern here, as
no politician can now predict, from
what has occurred there, how the State
may cast its electoral vote this fall.
The warfare between the adjuster and
readjuster elements is so bitter and ac-
and withal so extensive, for
it brings under it's influence all the
voters of the State, that no party whip
can he apDlied to force descendants info
the traces on election day, unless some
unknown healing appliance can he in
vented. The hue and cry against the
re-adjuster and his so-called repudia
ton has sufficient groundlessness in it
to warrant a belief that he will be safe
in an appeal to the people, and we haz-
ard the prediction that next November
will show him to have increased rath-
er than weakened his strength should
the election turn on the financial con-
Germs of that unfortunate State.

EXPLORATION OF MEXICO

It is announced that Mr..
?. Lorillard, of New York: has
entered into an agreement with
the French Government to as
sist in the prosecution or a
scheme Of exploration among
the ruins of Mexico. Inc
French Government furnishes
outfit of the expedition and
$4,000 in money; MIR. Lorlllard
gives $4,000 at once, and as
much more when it is needed.
The whole cost of the expedition
for two years is put at 100000:
Nj. Carnay, the French scientist
and explorer will take charge OF
the work, which will begin next
spring. The material results OF
the exploration will go to swell
the treasurers of the French
museums. The report of nj:
Charnary will be first printed
in the North american Reric'c.
The field to be explored is
rich in relics of the splendid
though partial civilizations
which had tlourished for I'M
known ages, and were in part
declining, if not forgotten,
when the Spanish conquerors
arrived. But, sill &c the days
of the Inflated Macmillan very
little has been done toward their
investigation except by our GOV
eminent surveyors in Colorado,
New Mexico, and Arizona.
These have found evidence OF
an antiquity for the origins OF
the civilizations of ancient Mex
leo far exceeding anything
dreamed OF a few years ago;
and it is altogether probable
that the questions Of historic
and prehistoric interest raised
by such discoveries may be ma
terialIy helped OH toward solu-
ton by the labors Of NJ. Char
nay. At least, he cannot fail
to add much to our limited
knowledge of the later civiliza-
tons Of mexico, as shown III
the ruins Of the Aztec and
Toltect cities destroyed by the
Spaniards.
