WE are pleased to see it stated that our
friend of the Defiance Democrat, Elmer
White, is to be candidate for State SEN
ator, subject to the decision Of the Sena-
torial Convention of the Defiance District.
We have known Mr.. White for years,
and can truly say he is in every way fit
ted for the position. He has always been
an uncompromising Democrat, and as a
young man has done more for the ad-
vancement Of his party than many older
heads. We hope to learn of his nomina-
ton and election.

Cathartic Pills

CatnaTG1C FILLS
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
iusted to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical eX-
pertinent, and are the most etfectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and effectual
treatment. AYERS PILLS are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and aSSimi-
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
physicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
stcred to children with perfect safety.
AYERS PILLS arc an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness,
IIea@ache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
I2iiiousness, Jaundice, rheumatism,
EruptioHs and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Gripes, DiarrhGa, Dysentery, GOut,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from q disordered
state Of the digestive apparatus.
AS Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these PILLS
are the most thorough and searching cathar-
J. Nc that can he employed, and never give
/ the bowels are intiamed, and
tIlen their influence is healing. They stimu-
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and visor to the
whole system.

publican party. 1t says that then
The Republican party will be cleansed Of an ee-
mcnt that has constantly busted itself in stirring up
discord, that has driven the party to take hun
dred false steps, and estrangcd from it thousands of
warm friends. Another and a frccr air will sweep
through the Republican camp soon as the cold
water brigade takes itself off The departure of the
temperanceites will bring into the party thousands
of voters who sympathize with its aims, but who
have an unconquerabe repugnance to the intolerant
zeaots who lose no opportunity to push themselves
to the foreground. The Republicans of Ohio once
convinced that they can get on very well without
the votes of the tcmperanceites and the whole tenn
perance and Sunday legislation will be swept aside
into the lumberroom, and no hinderance will be
left in the way of reasonable and progressive laws

Execution of the Nihilists.

All the Nihilists except the woman
Hesse Helfmann, who is eRceiRte, con-
demued to death in connection with the
Cars Observation-Disclosures Micha-
elOff, Kibaltschitisch, JeliabOff and So
phie Pieroffsky- were hanged at 10
o'clock Friday morning, MichaelOff S
rope broke twice. Order was not dis
turbed. Ten thousand armed soldiers
were present to keep order. There
were LOG. 900 spectators. The concourse
was Immense, and the excitement has
not been paralleled by any event since
the Russian capital was thrilled by the
story that the Car had been torn to
pieces by Nihilist bombs on March 13
AT the appointed hour the victims of
the law were taken from the cells and
placed upon a hurdle drawn by four
horses, and surrounded by a strong
body of mounted troops. The cOrtege
proceeded at a slow pace through the
streets leading to SOmerOff square. In
the middle of the square stood the scat
fold, a revolving object, with its five
dangling ropes against the sky. To the
last every one of the five persons so
soon to die refused positively to accept
ministerial offices of the priest. An ap-
palling incident occurred when the drop
fell. MichaelOff's rope broke, and he
fell to the ground. A thrill of horror
went through the crowd, and even the
officers charged with this terrible duty

sit upon the bill lately introduced for
cleaning the streets of New York, and
incidentally playing the very dickens
with the Police Commissioners and
their faulty subordinates. The assem-
blage of grave and reverend seigniors,
men of renOwn withal, yea, and of many
shekels, at Steinway Hall the other eve
ming was something to be remembered,
and SO was the mass of wit. sarcasm
and eloquence generally which was
poured ont tiuently for hours from the
lips of some of our most practiced ora
tors. 1t may seem cynical to say it,,
but sadly fear that in spite of the de-
gree of indignation which our people
may have been reused to exhibit, the
whole thing will blow over and we
shall go on more or less pleasantly in
the old rut. We may, and no doubt
will, gInmble cOnsumedly, but grum-
bling won't clean our streets, which
really are quite too awfully awful with
fostering filth.
Some distinguished L. S. Engineer
officers, drawing large salaries, have
been employed for yeaIs with eXpens-
i've establishments deepening the wa
tiers round the city and removing an
| cient distractions to navigation. Among
other dangerous impsdiments to COM
merce was the famous Diamond reef,
which was finally blown up a year or so
ago after years of tunneling and chaTg-
ing drills with dynamite, with a great
flourish of trumpets. A new shOal has
now been discovered close to its site
formed within two years by broken
glass, bricks and other rubbish dumped
into the East river by the connivance,
if not 10y actual order of the Police Com
missioners. That's one of the ways the
money goes. No wonder people are
angry.
The Park Commissioners are also get
ting a setting out. Their opponents are
not long suffering taxpayers, but those
who may become so. They have out
ragged the tender feelings of thousands
of gay and festive youths of both grades.
Rolling-skates have been multiplied
like the frogs in Egypt, and old folks
with cOrns look on them with horror,
but physicians say they are conducive to
health, professors of department say
! they make children graceful and the
children say they are jolly good fun.
| The Commissioners have forbidden the
use of them in the parks. Hence there
is war, and between the girls and the
boys and their own wTangles about who
is to be President (the President of the
Board gets a salary, the other planks
don'O, which they haven't settled yet
after a contest of months, these more or
less respectable old functiOnaries are
having a time like the monkey aud the
parrot. RADIX.

The Middlebury Postofice.

Congressman Joyce has induced Pres
ident Garfield to nominate for post
master at Middlebury Mr. George Ham
mond, who is one of Mr.. JOyee's most
devoted friends. Upon hearing the
news the Middlebury Register thus pre-
sents the case
Some surprise is expressed that the an
nouncement of an appointment should
be made before the people of the place
knew Of vacancy, aud there is quite a
general feeling that they ought to have
had some chance to express a prefer
ence. Their choice would perhaps be
as likely to fall upon Mr.. Hammond as
any one else, as he is popular and ca
pable, but we judge from the talk that
the manner of his appointment is con-
sidered arbitrary aud unfair, and that
our postoffiee ought not to be a pocket

Carr to be Hung.

A hearing was had last evening at
Montpelier before Gov. Farnham and
Hon. T. p. Redfield, Judge of the su-
preme court, on petition of c. II. Heath
and Hiram Carleton, attorneys for Roy
al 5. Carr, now under death sentence to
be hung April %, 1881, for numbering a
half-breed Indian. He was convicted
i'll September, 1879, and the case passed
to the supreme court at the August
term. No cases were heard in August,
but the term was continued till October,
after the general assembly had con-
vened and Carr was sentenced, October
23, during the session of the legislature
of 1880, Judge Barrett pronouncing
sentence. The petitioners ask for a re-
prieve till after Jan. |, 1888, that a
full session of the legislature may in
tervene. The main ground for asking
the reprieve is that no session of the
Legislature has commenced since SEN
tence was passed, as the petitioners
claim the statute should be construed
to mean an entire session. His case
was carefully examined by a special
committee and communication was re-
fused, Carr having confessed bis crime
in detail to that committee. The gov
ernor having considered the question
with Judge Redfeld gave his decision
this morning. He decided that the fact
of the court having passed sentence in
the way and at the time stated its judg-
ment ought not to be disturbed, that
on the question of protecting Carr's
rights he decided that Carr had all the
opportunity intended by law for an APP
plication to the legislature, which he
enjoyed as stated. Finally he denied a
reDTieve

read the criticisms of the State press
on the CdIedoRidn because it did not

piece for our worthy congressman to
present to wbOmsoever he sees fit. Mr..
Hammond, however, is not held respOn-
sible for this. There is quite strong
feeling of sympathy for Col. Tracy,
who is thus displaced after service OF
twelve years. 1t is considered that his
removal is needless. He has served
the public acceptably and well, and his
physical condition, the result of wounds
received in brave service for his coun-
try. renders peculiarly hard his remov-
al from an Office which gave him honor
able support. But if his removal is
settled beyond recall, the people OF
Middlebury, we judge from the gener-
al expression, would like just a little
voice in the choice of his successor.
