During the administration of Gov
ernor A lien the fair practice of CIV
ing the minority a representation on
all official boards in the State was
adopted. His policy was followed
by Hayes, Young and Bishop, and
last winter both Republicans and
Democrats recognized the policy as
a principle, and adopted it into the
laws of the State governing the Pub
lie Institutions by the passage of
what was known as the Hitchcock
bill-a bill that emanated on the Re
publican side, and vas regarded as
settling the question forever by both
parties. Now the Republican Legis-
lature has thrown open the loodgates
and again made these institutions
the subject of political scramble.

The Republicans of the Tenth Coz

The Republicans ofthe Tenth Con
~gressional District of North Caroline
have elected Isaac I. Young and
Stewart Ellison delegates to the Chi
cago convention; also the Republi.
cans of the Fifth District have cleo
ted Thomas B. Keoch and j. W. Har-
din as delegates Both conventions
instructed their representatives to
vote for the nomination of Grant.
This makes six out of ten delegates
already chosen from North Carolina
who are for Grant, and the remain
der of the delegation from the State,
except one district, it is predicted,
will also be instructed for him.

The Dayton journal has this to
say in regard to Ohio, should BLAINE
receive the Republican nomination
for the Presidency:
While we shall sincerely support
Mr.. Blaine if he is nominated, we are
constrained to say that we do not be-
lieve that he can carry Ohio. 1t will
be a great misfortune to the Repub-
lican party to nominate such a man
whose record will compel his party
to enter upon a defensive campaign
at the start. We freely admit all
the enconiums that the ardent friends
of Mr.. Blaine bestow upon him, but
we would regard his nomination with
most serious apprehensions.

Hon. F. R. LOOMS, editor of the
Huron Co. Chronicle, who a few
years ago was a very efficient Repub-
lican leader in the Ohio House of
Representatives, makes the follow.
ing comments on the present Legis-
lature:
"The Republican 64th General
Assembly is not much of an improve
ment over its Democratic predeces-
scr in point of absenteeism. There
was scarcely a quorum to do bust
ness in either House last Tuesday
morning, and so it runs aoeek after
aDeek. 1t is the crying evil of our
Legislature and should be a stop put
to in some summary manner. The
promptest and most regular business
attended to by our Solons at the
Capitol is to draw their salary. Tie
people should take matters in HAND
and say what should be done about
it."

Gen. Thomas Ewing has declined
to again be a candidate for Congress,
personal considerations compelling
him to retire from public service at
present. His many warm admirers
will regret his retirement from active
public duty, and the country will

| ed legislators.

The Grant boomers propose to
make a demonstration in the South.
The New York Tribune says:
On the return of the General from
Mexico it is intended that he shall
land in New Orleans and make a
triumphant pro ress through the
Southern States. The white people
of that section are expected to treat
him with marked consideration and
respect. They are being depended
upon to give him, in their excitable
way, assurances of political support,
and thus to revive the Democratic
Grant "boom" about which there was
so much talk about a month or two
ago. In addition to that, it is be-
lieved that the colored men of the
South will make an enthusiastic de-
monstration in favor of the General;
and that the whole proceeding will
have such an effect on the canvass
for the nomination as to make the
success of any other candidate en-
tirely out the question.

A JUSTICE FINES HIMsELF.-At a
recent trial before a Justice of the
Peace in the southern part of Clarion
county, the Justice was so annoyed
by something that transpired that he
so forgot his judicial dignity as to
indulge in a good, round oath. After
the trial and entering Of judgment, the
defeated party to the suit remembered
that oath, made an information Of the
fact before another justice residing
about ten miles distant, and had war
rant issued which was given to consta-
BILE to serve. When the war
rant was read to the erring justice he
brought forth his docket, showed that
be had fined himself for his lapse into
profanity, 50 entered judgment against
himself, and collected the fine. The
constable had nothing else TO do but to
let the matter drop, aud the party who
hoped to get even with the justice by
making information, is now confronted
with bill Of costs amounting to 81.
