Men Who Have Sons.

New York Graphicl
Father Taft, Of Ohio, has been for
many years very anxious to be gov
ernor of that commonwealth. The
ex-attorney general has sons who
pushed their fathers interests. To-
day Chas. Foster is governor of Ohio
and General Garfield is enator-elect
and candidate for the presidency.
Henry B. Payne, also of Ohio, has
aspirations for the presidency. He
also has sons. They managed their
father canvass at Cincinnati and it
proved disastrous and contemplate.
Ex-Governor Robinson, of New
York, has son David By name.
1t is an open secret in political
circles that David was his fathers evil
genius, and if he had been non exist
ent or never attempted to play gov
ernor, Lucius Robinson would TO-DAY
be governor of this state and John
Kelley and he be on the best Of terms
General Grants son by no means
favored his fathers aspirations. He
was much too outspoken on certain
matters with which, as an officer Of
the army, he might be supposed tC
have nothing to do.
Governor Tilden has not beer
loaded down with son. But his re
spected nephew Pelton did his uncl,
as much injury as the most malevolen
son could have done.

A Washington special says: Judge
Key has not received any information
as to when his successor, Postmaster
General Maynard, will arrive, and
cannot therefore say when be will re-
sign the postt flee portfolio. The
president has not yet commissioned
Judge Key as United States Judge for
the eastern district of Tennessee, and
probably will not do so until it is pos
itively known when Mr.. Maynard
will arrive. Under the law none OF
the assistant postmaster generals
could act as the head of the depart
ment for a longer period than ten days
and if Judge Key should leave the
department now it might embarrass
the president and neeessitate the as.
signment of one of the other cabinet
officers to act as postmaster.geueral
There is no immediate necessity fol
Judge Key to leave the department.,
inasmuch as, although the district
court over which he is to preside
meets on the second Monday in July,
its term may be continued until Sep,
tember, when the circuit court is tC

courts may be held at the same time
whenever possible, and Judge Key
will probably avail himself Of the
privilege. Meanwhile, if Judge KEY

WASHINGTON, June 30.-There /,
much comment as to who shall be
chairman Of the democratic nationa
committee, some Of it nearly correct
and most OF it not at all correct. II
depends largely on General Hancock
Senator Barnum desires to be retired
He has served the party good while
in this place, and has given it a good
deal of time and hard work. He
thinks he has earned a rest and will
willingly give way to some other mem,
Der Of the committee. If, however
General Hancock shall see fit to urge
Mr.. Barnum to remain at the head oI
the committee, he will sacrifice his
own inclinations to do so.
Many of those who have been
longest in favor of Gen. Hancock s
nomination desire to see Senator Wal.
lace at the head of the committee
They argue that he has shown supe-
riOr sagacity as a political manager
and never more so than in the work
he did at Cincinnati for Hancock.
Senator Wallace himself would be
glad to serve the party as the head OF
the committee, and it is understood
his visit to-day to Gen. Hancock was
for the purpose of consulting with
him as to the wisdom of making such
a change in the committees chair.

would be obliged to ask for the retire.
ment from the committee of w. L.
Scott, who represents Pennsylvania.
Should change be deemed desira-
BILE, Mr.. Scott stands ready to do
whatever the candidate thinks wisest
for the party, and will retire without
protest should General Hancock say
sO If the latter refuses to make any
decision, however, the officers will
probably remain as they are. Messrs.
Barnum and Scott did all I'm their
power at the last moment to secure
Hancock S nomination.

ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

Tomorrow is the day appointed by
tthe executive meeting for the selec-
1tion Of delegates to the Shelby county
democratic convention which will
meet Thursday next, the 9th inst.
The primary meetings, will as
sembIe at the several voting places
and be called to order in the districts
outside Of this city at p. m.
and in the wards of this city at 8 p. m.
This is to be convention OF more
than usual importance, and the peo-
should turn out en- masse, and see to
it that men Of judgment, earnestness
and discretion are chosen as delegates.
Two other tickets are in the field.
The nationals made a nomination
some days ago, and yesterday the re-
publicans set a ticket in the field,
with Ed Shaw at the top.
Say what we may, the colOred
vote will be cast nearly solid
for Shaw, and doubtless for the
greater part Of the ticket. A few
white republicans will, as matter Of
consistency, vote for the Shaw ticket.
The election of this wild fanatic
would bring untold misery and mis-
fortune upon the community. We
might we'll liken it to another great
epidemic. There are no colOred ma
tionals when a test question is up,
The white nationals, all told, cannot
poll FIVE hundred votes in the county
They constitute a skeleton regimento Of
1Ziout three hundred very clever col.
els and one hundred well-meanine
rivates. We have no stones to throw
at them, but point out their numeri-
cal weakness for their own good. II

One thing is apparent-if the

harmony and efficiency of the republi.
can party in this canvass, and give the
republican ticket cordial and hearty
support throughout all its depart
ments, General Garfield will not be
INSPIRED with confidence in the GOOD
faith Of pretended friends, or with a
strong hope of success. We venture
the opinion that the administration
has the power to bring either success
or defeat to the republican cause in
this contest, just as it wills and shall
determine. And with this opinion we
venture the admonitiOn that slaugh-
ter of republican officials at the behest
of democrats, or the intimidation of
republicans who happen to hold sub
ordinate positions in the several de.
partments, and who seek to assert the
rights Of citizenship in associate ca
pacity relating to their respective
states, thus restricting their useful
ness, are not well calculated to ad-
vance the general interests and pros
poets Of the republican party at this

This is the true and genuine his

mon with the affair. He was com

conservator of the national capital,
was emphatically obedient to the or

conspirators and the so-called con.
spirator to death. He had no voice
in the matter, and could have no
action, save as the agent, to see that
the letter of the law was carried out

ACCORDING to statistics issued un-
der the direction of the secretary of the
treasury there have been constructed
in the United States since 1880 rail
roads that at the end of1878 amounted
to 8l,8l8 miles of aggregate length.
AT the end of183O there were23 miles
of railroad in the country; at the end
of1S76 there were 8l,84l miles. The
greatest number Of miles constructed
in any one year was in 1871, when
1870 miles were added to the railroad
system Of the country. No year since
1866 has seen less than 1000 miles
built, and no year since 184S, with the
exception of 1861, 1862 and 1864,
whose contributions were respectively
651 miles, 834 miles and 738 miles
The only years in which more than
1900 miles have been built were 1856

Hancock's boom at Cincinnati was
economically managed, so far as there
Was any management. A correspond
ent says:
That it was not worked up, in a
political sense, is demonstrated by the
fact that during the week preceding
the convention a fund of $l250 was
raised by Hancocks friends to hire
rooms for headquarters and pay for
printing and carriage hire, and meet
other necessary expenses. That was
all the money the Hancock headquar-
ters had, and at the end of the conven-
ton, when all the bills were maid
there was 800 of it left. The gentle
men who came here to take charge OF
the Hancock headquarters were Mr..
Atkins, chairman of the democratic
state committee of Vermont. General
Franklin and General Badly Smith
They had two solid state delegations
with them to start with, and a few
votes in each of several other states
The two delegations solid for
Hancock from the outset
were Vermont's and Louisiana's.
In contrast with this, at the late
Chicago convention money was the
moving power. The price of votes
became better known at all the head
quarters than the eprice of wheat in the
market During all the preliminary
eanyassing of that long session the
leaders admitted that money was to
determine the nomination and it
was only byan accident that it was not
so determined. As it was, much
money was expended for votes before
the break took place Nothing of the
kind was seen, talked oil or heard of in
Cincinnati.
