FORGOTTEN At LAST.
An Affecting Interview Between Gen
Hayes and Mr.. COlfax.

Fremont, O., April 24.-Last evening a
man rather past middle life, with some
thing of a military ali, entered the post
Office here and said in full, clear voice:
HAS my copy of the New York Sun ar
rived?" The clerk looked over the papers
before him and replied:
''No, General"

General. ~ shan't feel like going to sleep

paper when it fails to come
The General walked out and one man
asked another "who he was, anyway"
ana the honest yeoman replied, That's
Gen. Hayes, our school committee"
The general, when he left the possoihce;
walked rapidly down the street, his head
well thrown back, and his manner open
and free.hearted. He had not gone lar,
however, when he met man who had
something of the appearance Of country
minister. There was about him an air OF
resignation, mingled with JOY, OF giving
up OF this werld, accompanied by living
hope of peace beyond that was cheering to
see. At sight of the General the good man
sprsng forward and held out his hand.
General Hayes"
"Mr. Colfsx."
They shook hands.

war, General?' and replied, Well farm

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Talk OF Deferrisg the Tins fer Their
COaveattOa.

CoLuNsus, O., April 24.-The edict has
gone forth from Governor Foster and his
able allies, Charlie Moore. George K. Nash.
and Auditor Of State oslevee, thatit would
never DO to have the Republican State Con.
vention before the 6ual tax under the
Scott bill is paid and the feeling Of the
people on the subject is fully demonstrated.
For this reason it has been thought proper
by the grand moguls Of the party to call
another meeting of the Republican central
committee for the purpose OF having the
convention deferred. The dates now as
signed are June S and 6, and the new
scheme is to have il June 2s. one week
after the Democratic con vsntion. and eight
days after the expiration OF the time in
which the saloon keepers have TO plank
down their tar under the Scott Law. II Is
stated TO night by some that there will be
an informal conference OF Republican mag.
mates at the Neil House TO morrow to gain
q general expression on the subject, aud
there does not seem to I've much doubt
Among the Breihsea
that later convention will be recommend.

The mysterious visit OF Hon. BENJAMIN
Eggleston, Of Cincinnati, and the earnest
conference with Charley Grosvsnor, Of
Athens, Governor Foster and the SAte OH.
cials is now made transparent.
The news this morning that case Vas In
preparation in Athens county to test the
Scott liquor tax law created q great deal OF
comment in all circles. The general theo.
~ seems to be that the law will be found
unconstitutional. Leading lawyers affirm
that il is equally as unconstitutional as the
Pond bill. The impression, however, seems
to be that Gov. Foster in his appointments
TO the supreme bench and the packing OF
the Supreme Court commission, has en-.
deavored to form a court that will declare
il constitutional.
Col. Charles Moore. State Insurance Com
missioner hoots at the idea OF postpone
ment of the Republican convention. He
admits, however, that q proposition ol
that kind has been made from some source.
He SAYS that a change would cost thou
sands Of dollars, as the rooms at all the ho-
tells have been engaged even this far ahead,
and the convention has been largely ad.
vertised by circulars and through the
newspapers.

insurance agent strolled into the Office.
After the necessary document had been
delivered and the couple had left, the
agent asked the clerk who they were. He
was informed that they had stated that
they were from Crystal City, Missouri.
Remarking that they ought TO be in.

them. Catching up with the
couple, near the ladies' entrance to the La.

agent that the Crystal City citizens were
under the impression that the obtaining OF
the license was all that was needed TO start
a matrimonial career. He read the license
and explained TO them that O little further
testimony was necessary. The young lady
said she thought il was funny, and had
never seen any marriage like II before.
She had heard that il was new law, and
she thought it was the way they got mar.

sailors volunteered to gotO the rescue, and
decendipg below decks soon brought the
women on deck alive, but in state Of
