A NUT FOR HAYEs.--An Ohio man,

still believe that Mr.. r. B. Hayes is an
honest man, inform us, if they can,
what the union is between him and

that it requires a commission to dis.

DECIDEDLY CoNsoLING,--The Fraud
ulent Vice President, Wheeler, does
not like TO stay in his seat in the Dem
ocratic Senate. The Washington Post
in alluding to his last run-of, remarks
"The season ofpiscatory sports having
arrived, the Acting Vice President O
the United States throws down hi,
gavel and reaches for his fishing rod
In other words, VIM. Almon Wheeler
vacates the Presidential chair of thu
Senate and turns his longing gaze to
ward the merry brooklets that babblC
among the hills beyond Malone. Attel
be has devoted few hours to digging
angle worms behind the barn the lone
fisherman will disappear from the pub
lie gaze for some weeks. The absence
of this important official from public
duties for a protracted period will be {
severe test of our system of govern
mcnt, but the old machine has stood
such strains, and the patriotic mint
will be sustained in this crisis by tht
cheering bope that the same beneficent
Providence that has brought up thro
perils past will still voucbsaie us sai,
