IT has been said that if Mr.. TIL

least be allowed to name the success
ful candidate. In the first place, Mr..
Tilden should know, as every thinking
man must know, that bis is the weak
est name that could be placed at the
head Of the ticket, and we cannot
think that, in the face Of facts, the
Cincinnati Convention will commit
the folly. Of nominating him, should he
persist in having his name brought
before it. The sentimental cry that
Mr.. Tilden was Cheated out Of the
presidency" may cause many to think
he ought to have another chance,
but his nomination would certainly
imperil the chances Of the Democratic
party when victory is within its grasp
And why should he be allowed to
name the candidate 1t strikes rs that
the people who compose the party
should say, through their delegates
who shall lead them to victory. Mr.
Tilden is not the Democratic party
neither is he the kite and the Demo
cratic party the tail, though SONS

AN HOUR WITH BOOKS.

a defensive covering for the head,
body, and limbs, as a protection in
battle, seems to have been used by
almost every civilized and savage peo-
pie, from the earliest times Of which
We have historical mention until the
gradual improvement in firearms rem
dered it useless as means Of defence
Historians express the opinion that
the most ancient defensive armor was
made Of skins, but the oldest complete
and authentic records we have, speak
Of metal armor. From the earliest
times Of the Old Testament to the fall
Of The Roman Empire, bronze or brass
seems to have been the material used
for helmets and body armor, by the
principal nations Of antiquity. Their
shields and buckles were sometimes
made Of wood covered with bulls hide,
and frequently, Of solid bronze like
their armor and weapons, for the an
clients we're long ignorant Of the art Of
tempering steel. The armor Of the
Hellenic chiefs, consisted Of crested
helmet which could be 50 drawn down
as to partly cover the face, a small
breast plate worn low, plated waist
band from which hung a short kilt Of
cloth or leather covered with metallic
plates, and greaves Of solid metal for
the legs from knee to ankle. The
Greeks carried large circular shields.
The Romans wore armor very much
like that just described, save that they
carried oblong instead Of round shields.
After time, they rejected the greaves
and fought with bare legs. The Orien-
tai nations adopted at an early period,
an armor made Of overlapping scales
Of metal sewn upon leather and fitting
the whole body Of the weaver. Their
horses were also clothed in similar
armor. The Saxons adopted an ar
NOR consisting Of a long tunic reach
ing to the knee, and made Of leather
upon which were sewed stout metal
rings close together. They also wore
conical steel caps. The Norman ar.
NOR was made Of actual mail, formed
Of rings woven together like those in
modern curb.chaiD. They also wore
long sleeves and hose woven Of rings
and carried q shield resembling il
shape modern smoothing-iron. Plate
armor gradually cncroached upon
mail, until, in the beginning Of the
18th century, we find complete suits
Of plate casing the wearer in steel
from head to foot. This armor was
Egradually improved until it reached
its perfection during the reign ol
Henry VII. In the suits Of that time
is found the greatest security and
beauty ever combined in armor. The

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. "a, 1880.
The Committee on Civil Service Reform Of
The House, yesterday adopted and will soon
report, one Of the most important bills Of the
session. The idea Of The bill is to give any
one, having or thinking he has claim
against the government chance to have its
merits tesled jndicially. He may go with il
to the Court of Claims, and he OF the Govern
ment may appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States No amount claimed, however
shall be paid, unless, after the action of the
Court, Congress shall approve that action.
This bill, if made law, will protect the Gov
ernment, give satisfaction to the claimants,
and settle one of the vexed questions OF the
day AS presented by Mr.. 0Connor, ofSoulh
Carolina, the bill may need amendment il
some particular but the principle is right and
the bill will probably, in due time, be passed
II is of interest to hundreds of people from
Maine 10 California No claims barred by
the Statute Of limitations can lie presented
under provisions of the bill.
The Democratic Committee did we'll yester-
day in selecting Cincinnati as its place oi
meeting. It did not quite come up to the re-
Quirements of the occasion in the matter Of
time, as an earlier day in June would have
been, think, TO the advanti ige OF the party
But that is a minor error. To select place
was the important matter The City chosen
is free from the objections 10 he urged against
New York, Washington, st Louis, or Chi
| cago. AS TO candidates it has absolutely no
significance It was not chosen for the bene-
fit Of Tilden, Seymour, Thurman, Hendricks,
Hancock, Palmer, or any Of the Others whose
claims are urged.
There will be reported 10 the House this
week bill appropriating $500, eco for The
relief oPpeopIe in Ireland who are suffering

Producing it, and the Committee in agreeing
10 it, suppose the House will pass it, but
| the Senate will probably take the sensibl'
view that the whole matter had better be lef

has already done 50 much in the way Of sub
scripIions.
Census Supervisor nominations will be dis
posed of in a few days, it is hoped, by th'
