Judge FORAKER was yesterday nominated
for Governor of Ohio by the Republican
State Convention by reclamation. This
fact means that there was little or no COM
petition for the nomination. And this,
again, means that the nominee has poor
prospect OF being elected. The chances Of
success did not seem to iustifya warm con-
test for the nomination.
Judge HoADLEY will probably be the
Democratic nominee. We recall his speech
i'm the Cincinnati National Convention Of
1880, and can safely say that he would be
accounted poor stumper in Virginia. But
there are reasons for his nomination which
outweigh his want Of a popular style OF adj
dressing a multitude. He is a PENDLETON
man: or, rather, will not il elected Gov
ernor allow his name to be used agains.
that OF Mr.. PENDLEToN for the place OF
United States senator. Again: he is very
popular with the foreign voters of Ohio,
who are very numerous, very aggressive,
and very gregarious. The German vote
especially is large, and Judge HoApLEY is
favorite with these voters.
But despite the fine prospects before the
Democracy OF Ohio, there is to be no child's
play there next fall. The Democrats may
possibly be beaten. The Republicans arc
in much better condition than they were q
year ago. The voters think that the sur

All Ripht.

We are now told that Governor CANE
RON has received letters from Coalltionists'
approving his course IN making two negroe
trustees OF the public schools OF Rich
mond.
But no names are given. We do not care
TO hear Of the men who slip into the Gov
ernor's mansion at night by the back door,
and tell him TO go on In his "good work -
We would not give button for such an
endorsement Of Governor CAMERoy's acts as
Mr.. GARNET, for example, gives us when
he refuses to come out in the papers and
declare his approval Of the appointment Of
| PAUL rather than some reputable white
man to be trustee Of the public schools
over which he presides.
We do not think that Governor CAMERON
will be content with such certificates. He
can scarcely be satisfied with private en-
dorsements intended only for his own ear.
"Between you and me, Governor, you
did just right when you made PAUL your
representative on the School Board OF Rich
mond." Don't accept that sort OF APP
plause. Governor. Tell your endorsers to
speak out so that all the people OF Virginia
can hear them.
1t is intimated too, that PAUL occupies
towards Governor CAMERON the position
which Mr.. TAYLOR, OF Alexandria, or a
worthy Richmond gentleman, occupied to-
wards Governor HOLIDAY. Hardly. This
is dangerous ground for you to tread on,
Governor. Better not attempt to justify a
bad act by worse plea. We let you off on
this point, for the present at least, and pro-
ceed to inquire whether ii is or is not true
that the more honorable the place which
Governor CAMERON has conferred upon
PAUL the more should the Governor be
condemned for thus debasing a position
which so many white men would have
been glad to have?
But is PAUL the man to preserve the dig
nifty OF an Office, conceding that that office
has heretofore been one OF dignity? Is a
negro lit successor to the gentlemen
whom Governor HOLIDAY employed near
him? Is il not adding insult to injury so
far as the white people OF Virginia are
concerned when the act of making negro
schooltrustee is attempted to be justified
by the plea that the same Governor who
appointed him to that position had already
overlooked all the white men in his own
party and conferred upon him place
which thousands of those white men
would nave been only too glad to ill?
PAUL has had TWO positions OF trust con-
ferred upon him, whilst some white Coali-
tionists we could name work hard every
day for a living. Surely the Governor is
sinking more deeply into the mud. He has
done an act which will stick to him as long
as his name is known TO the people Of this
Commonwealth How many white votes
would he get II he were to run against
JOHN W. DANIEL for Governor next No
yember?

ANOTHER GOOD PLANK.--The American
REGISTER says that from the legislation OF
Congress and the opinions and speeches OF
eminent Democratic statesmen, the follow
ing may be gathered as embodying the
essential elements Of the Democratic tariff
TO wit:
"a tariff for revenue, limited 10 the me-
cessary expenses OF the Government, and
adjusted with view to equality In the
pubic burdens, and also to the protection
or encouragement OF home productive in.
dustry and labor so far as sound policy and
just regard for both public and private
interests may require"
II seems TO us that any good Democrat
could take his stand upon plank OF that
sort. II not, why nots Are centraliza-
ton, Mahoneism, persecution of southern
men. and the other evils which would fol-
low the election Of Republican president
OF the United states next year, such small
matters that the degree Of protection which
a tariff ought TO give to American manu-
features is more important question:

The WeIIand Canal Plot.

o'poNoyAN ROSA WANTS 1T TO BE THOUGHT
THAT HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT 1T.
A New York special to the Philadelphia
Times SAYS: O'Donovan Rosa was asked
to-day il he knew anything about the al
legged attempt TO blow up the Welland ca
nal. 81 know the English Government
will have work enough on hand very soon."
he said. THAT canal is twenty-siX miles
long. They have had sentry on this SIDE
for every quarter OF a mile. That requires
lO4 men. Then an equal number on the
other side raises the number to 2OS. Then
the relief. which must be necessary every
twelve hours, raises the number to 4l6
men. Let Great Britain pay these men to
watch that canal. There are hundred
other places that 1t is just as necessary for
them to watch, and that, as far as my adj
vice will 90, shall instruct our people to
be after. To these expenses the Skirmlsh-
ers are putting her. She has canals else
where-sOme right in London-that viii
need rs close watch. The Welland canal
is very appropriate object to begin with.
IL draws the trade OF the whole Northwest
through Canada, and is very injurious to
American trade. The English Government
was awakened by something which oc-
CURED, but which cannot tell you about.
"The English Government knows we
are at work. and we are willing they should
know it, but they don't know where we
are going to strike. our dynamite school
is going on. Scholars are being instructed,
and our missionaries are all around the
world. England is not smart enough.
She passes laws against dynamite. but for
gets to include lucifer matches. with which
thousand men in thousand houses can
in one night bring destruction to the rich
est city in the world"
British Consul Edwards said he had no.
thing to do with unearthing the plot, and
was not aware that it was unearthed in
New York.

making the date come on the 9TH day
Thursday. VIII this rule hold good for
dates antecedent TO the time when the Gre
gorian calendar was adopted? A.
The author expressly rejects the sugges-
ton of "a" Here is the rule in his own
words:
"Dividc the number expressing the year
by 4, and take no notice of the remainder,
IL any; find the number OF days, inclusive,
from the 1st OF January TO the date in nand,
always taking but % days in February
add together this sum, the quotient, and
the first number, and divide their sum by
I. The figure OF the remainder gives the
day Of the week-if |, the first day or Sun
day, and so OH to 6 or Friday. II there is
no remainder, the day is of course Satur-
day."
The rule, us stated, has too many eXcep-
lions. 1t might perhaps be improved
say, by adding 80 days for February in leap
years, and when dividing by counting the
remainder where it exceeds . as equal TO /
day. However, we turn the rule over to
our readers.
OF course, as stated, it would not answer
for dates antecedelt to the time when the
Gregorian calendar was adopted.

Many OF the tobacco-plant beds were dried
up, where the plants had escaped the raw
ages OF the fly. The spring-oat crop is
almost ruined, and the stand OF corn very
poor. Many farmers have and are plough
ing up portions OF their crops OF corn and
cotton and planting afresh.
The "wire-worm " is one OF the worst
enemies to the young compliant. IL is a
small white worm that enters the young
plant Just at the point where the roots and
stalk join, close to the kernel. 1t works
its way up through the centre Of the stalk
and kills the plant. Any remedy so far
tried that will kill the worm will also kill
the young compliant. That is our expe-
rience. Cannot some OF your many readers
give Us a remedy? This pest is always
found on cloyer-sods, and cloyer-sods are
the very best lands for corn.
