Joe SamsOn's Vicissitules.
The committee on the census are again
in fog respecting the Pennsylvania ap-
pointments. At their last meeting they
made an effort to please all parties by
agreeing to recommend the continuation of
DR.. Sherwood, to please Speaker Randall,
to reject Mr.. Clarke, of Columbia, to
please Senator Wallace, and to reject Mr..
Samson, of Lancaster, to please Senator
Cameron. 1t appears, however, that this
programme is a satisfactory to neither
senator, and the committee have been
notified that DR.. Sherwood is equally OBJ
jectionable to them. For this reason no
action will be taken on these nominations
until the subject has been again taken up
in committee &; for, if reported, both sena-
tors will ask for the rejection of the entire
list.
1t is said that Hayes does not intend to
nominate persons in the district where the
supervisors have been rejected who will

Premature Dependency.

The New York Sun is very despOnd-
ent over the political situation, which, to
its mind, is involved in portentous
gloom. Last fall the Sun was engaged
in daily giving to the country a new can
didate whom it promised could be elected.
1t now concludes that nobody has any
chance at the Republican nomination ex-
cept Grant; his election it anticipates
will be the utter overthrow of our con-
stitutional system, and the only hope is
in Democratic success; such success it
deems well-nigh impossible in the pres
sent condition of the party. 1t seems to
think that no Democrat can be elected
without Mr.. Tilden's consent; that Mr..
Tilden himself cannot be elected, and
that he will not interest himself in the
election of anybody but himself. So it
reaches the melancholy conclusion that
all hope for the Democracy, and hence
for the country, is well-nigh extinct. Its
conclusions are more logical than its prem
ises are well taken. Grant may or may not
be the Republican nominee. If he should
be he is as likely as not to prove the
weakest candidate that his party could
select. Then, on the other hand, Mr..
Watterson tells us that Mr.. Tilden is
looking around for some one on whom to
cast the burdens of presidential can
| vass an authentic report from Wash
ington has it that at the late conference
there of representative Democrats.
"while Mr.. Tilden had not many mem
bers of the committee favorable to his
nomination, the general sentiment to-
ward him was respectful and conciliatory
The opinion was expressed that he would
not be found making trouble in the con
vention that he would be recognized
there as an influential Democrat, whose
advice, if he gave it, would receive re
spectful consideration, and that, while
his own nomination was not proba
BILE, if he offered advice as to :
candidate, and did it judiciously
this would have much weight.
Thus, nothing is more likely to happel
than that the party will find candidate
with whom Mr.. Tilden will be abundant
ly satisfied, whom the whole party viii

over any possible Republican, by a ma
jority that will make the Sun shin'

The Sherman club, of Cincinnati, has
published-and to its courtesy we owe a
copy of it" The Life and Public Ser
vices of John Sherman,'' by Ben Perley
Poore. 1t is most remarkable for what
it does not contain. It neither explains
how Sherman became millionaire with
no other occupation than chairman of the
finance committee of the Senate, nor
does it make any reference to his labors
as " a visiting statesman " in Louisiana.
Unless we have received a defective copy
we cannot commend this biography for
its fullness.

Exciting Foot Race I'm North

PoLLoCKsvILLE, \. G., May A novel
wedding occurred here yesterday. II
seems that Moses John Miller and Al
exander Bibb, two well-to-oo young
farmers were in love with the same
lady, Leonora Lloyd, beautiful girl OF
this place. She was not able To decide
as to which she liked best. Sunday
morning Bibb walked home from church
with her and left under the impression
that she said she would marry him,
Last night lover No. 2-Miller-went To
see her and understood her 10 say she
would marry him.
Both men this morning went 10 the
court house To get out the marriage
license, and there met, each one armed
with the necessary documents, and each
left with license to marry Miss Lloyd.
They met at the court house door, and
finally, after some talk, they agreed that
the first man who reached the lady's
house should marry her. The residence
of Colonel Lloyd, the ladv's father, was
one mile distant, and both men started
on the race for the bride. Bibb soon
left the main road and darted into the
woods, expecting to make short cut
and reach the house before his rival,
but Miller kept the road, and got in on
the home stretch eight minutes before
his rival Both men we're in sight OF
each other going up the lane 10 the
house, and Bibb's efforts to overtake his
rival'were almost super-human.
When they reached the house Bibb
from sheer exhaustion tainted in the
porch, falling almost at the feet of his
iady-love. When the matter was stated
to her, she said she had come to the CON
clusion that she liked Mr.. Bibb the best,
and therefore she would marry him.
Her sympathies were won over by see
Ing him faint. She said that she be-
lieved both loved her, but that he who
iaints at the danger Of losing a bride
must love her more than he who is cool
and unconcerned in the midst OF ii all.
The affair causes intense excitement in
this small place. Tonight Rev. Aaron
Jasper, the vell-known Baptist minis
ter, married Bibb and Miss Lloyd.
