GEN. H. h. sIBLEY.
The business of the convention being CON-
pleted, the chair, Gen. II. 81. sibley, addressed
it, speaking as follows:
Gentlemen of the conventions: Before the
motion to adjourn is put, permit me to say
few words. You are all aware that I was
chief executive of the first and only Demo-
cratic administration of the state. I was op.
posed to the constitutional amendment grant
ing aid to the railroad companies, as Ideemed
it premature and unwise to burden the state
with such liabilities at the very
outset of her existence. When
however, the amendment was adopted
by an overwhelming vote of the people, it be-
came the duty Of the governor to execute the
law. The issue of bonds to the companies
was marked by even greater and more strin-
gent precautions than were demanded by the
terms of the amendment. Notwithstanding the
fact that every act of that administration was
free from any faint of personal or official cor
ruptIop, for twenty years it has been made the
target of abuse and Misrepresentation by Re-
publican journalists and stump speakers, and
held responsible for calamities which it did
all in its power to prevent.
1 am admonished by my state of health that
l shall soon cease to attend Democratic con-
ventions, or conventions of any kind, but the
action of this body to-day In vindication of
my administration in connection with the
state railroad bonds will tend to smooth my
closing career. When that question is finally
and satisfactorily adjusted, / will be ready to
say "7unc dimittis, ,"@''now lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace"

Obituary.

Trsm the OgIe County Gil } Reporter.
On Friday last, June 9th, at fif-
teen minutes before one O'Clock
p. NJ, Miss Alletta X, Oldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Seibert,
Of Oregon, passed from the mortal to
her celestial home beyond the grave,
at the age of nineteen years, seven
months and four days. Calmly,
peacefully and patiently, through
her illness, she waited for the angel
Of death, her trust firmly anchored
upon a Saviour's love. She went in
the bright sunshine Of life, sunder-
ing the ties which bound her to a
home and large circle of friends
for almost a score of years.
1t is well with her, for we know
that angel visitants met at the verge
Of life, and welcomed her freed
spirit with songs Of rejoicing and the
redeemed. "Thou hast all for thy
season, oh, Death ~ and thy sickle
is thrust into the budding blossoms
as well as the golden grain. But
what thou gatherest Oh earth in
blossom will be transplanted above
and beyond the scenes of thine
earthly conquest. Heaven never
seems so near as when our loved ones
step across the threshold Of death.
They can come to us through the
remnant of life, which is yet ours,
and abide as ministering spirits and
make our hearts glad with the hope
OF blessed Immortality. All who
knew "Allie" will remember her as
a dear friend and companion. Had
her health permitted, she would
have been with the graduating class
at the commencement exercises. a

REV. J. p. HYDE, Principal Of
Lonoak Female College in this place,
has been unanimously elected Prin-
cipal of the Valley Female College
at Winchester by the Board of
Trustees of that institution. Mr..
Hyde made no effort to secure the
position, and the unsolicited tender
of it by the Board is a high compli-
ment TO his abilities as an educator.
We do not know whether he has
concluded to accept the offer, but
the Valley Female College could
certainly not have called an ADLER OF
worthier man to its head. We should
very much regret to lose him as a
resident of Martinsburg, and trust
he will conclude to remain at his
present post.

Mr.. WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, of
this place, employed in the shops of
the b. and o. railroad, has got a
patent on a postal card. The postal
card is the same as that now in use,
with a pocket attachment for the
purpose of sending a stamp for re-
ply. 1t is a simple yet useful at
tachment, and will no doubt be
adopted by the government for the
convenience of business men.
Mr.. Armstrong is also the inven-
tor of signal light for railroad Ian
terms, both hand and headlight. The
invention is now in use on the B.
and O. railroad, and the employees
pronounce it the best and most con-
venient signal light in use. Mr.. A.
is quite genius, and we hope to see
his ingenuity properly rewarded. He
is one of the best tin and copper
workers in the country.
