Mr.. HUNGTINGToN's letters show that from
his lofty plane he looked down condescend-
ingly on all senators and congressman who
we're, according to his notion, "good fellows"

JUDGE REAGAN, how does tho committee

stand by you in your efforts to put hook in
the mouth of the railroad leviathan? Mr..
Carlisle acted for the democratic party in
making the committees. If it shall be found,
rs heretofore that the corporations have more
friends ON the committee than have the peo-
pie, the democratic party will have to an
swer for it. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN

lerorts, or fails, after sufficient time, to re.

II tho committee on elections was formed
in the interest of Mr. Manning, of Mississippi,
to give him the seat to which he in effect,

to see whether the democratic majority will
follow it. Manning refused to claim the seat
under his fraudulent certificate of election.
We shall see whether the democracy will
draft him into it.

.sThe Fifty Fourth Virginia is at tho Ferry!''
From the Youths Companion.
The cry of "On to Richmond" awakened
no enthusiasm in the hearts of the third
Ohio one day when they found themselves
en- route as prisoners Of war for that famous
capital. Nor were they enthusiastic when
they halted for the night and prepared to
sink supperless into dreamland.
The fifty fourth Virginia regiment was
encamped near by, and some of the men
came down to have look ut the Yanks." !"
Had your coffee?" asked one of blue
coat stretched disconsolately on the bank.
mot sup, answered the other.
Amt you had any rations to- -night?"
'Only crumb or two from the bottoms
of our haversacks.
This was told to the boys ofthe 54th, and
old Virginia hospitality showed itself at
once. The men soon made their appear
ance with coffee kettles, corn bread and
bacon, the best they had. In few min
utes the coffee was steaming, the bacon
together aronnd the camp fire, like kins-
men true and brothers tried" The hungry,
grateful Yankees ate With relish such as
no one can appreciate unless he has been in
like situation.
No wonder there was warm spot in ey-
cry heart of the Sd Ohio ever afterward for
the generous 54th.
A fresh slide in the magic lantern gives
another Of these shifting war pictures. In
the distance is Mission Ridge, which has
Just been stormed. That long line of pris-
oners passing over the pontoon bridge and
up the stony mountain road is the 54th Yir-
ginia. soldier on duty at Kelly's Ferry
asked indifferently of one Of the prisoners
Us the regiment passed.
"What regiment is this7"
"The 54th Virginia" was the reply.
In On instant the loungers sprang to their
feet and rushed to camp. The 54th vir-
ginia is at the ferry" they shouted, as they
ran in and out among the tents Of the Sd
Ohio.
The Cnio boys were quick in motion.
Boxes from home and all reserve stores
were speedily ransacked. Coffee and
sugar, beef and canned peaches and the
best they had of everything were freely
brought forth. They remembered grate-
fully their debt Of honor, and paid
it nobly. It was the same old scene over,
with the shading reversed. For one night
at least both Confederates and Yanks en-
loyed again the sweet grace OF hospitality
that could bring a smile even to the grim
vissage of war.

Poor CATER seemed perfectly undone at
the news Madeline had impaired, but at
her last words he started from his seat, and
drawing up chair took q seat in front OF
her. 1T is not too late then," he said his
face radiant with hope. You can yet re-
treat; oh! by the memory Of past days; by
the solemn agreement entered into with
your father, to guard his little girl; by all
the years have loved and striven to serve
you, do not leave me now; you know that
it would be taking away my life to part
with you" He took the two cold hand in
his. will you leave mep Dare you leave
me?" Still no answer. IF you would be
happy away from me, my dear girl, say SO,
Maddy, speak; don't mind mo.
The face OF the woman was averted, but
the words, though soft and tremulous, were
distinctly heard by the anxious man before
her. Il never said was going to leave
you; Ifever marry again, it will be to be
forever near you.
The look of anxiety on CATERS face gave
place to one of bewilderment, and then ut
tor astonishment. "Do you mean what
you say?' he asked.
I do; and it is for you to judge whether
he is q blind old dotard, conceited dandy,
or after CATERS money"
Then Gatfer rose, walked across the room
and took his old sent, picked up the even
ing paper, and asked What TINA is it?"
"Half-pas nine. Good night.
aGood night, he answered, as if nothing
had occurred and Madeline put the knit
ting in her workbasket ana LETT the room.
The next morning at the usual hour, the
bell was rung, and CATER walked down to
the breakfast table, in dres sing gown and
slippers, to see Madeline arranging the cups
and saucers in her own quiet, precise way
they talked very quietly together until Ma
define asked: When are you going to
New York, Gaffer?"
Not till after the first of the month; for
expect to be married on New Years day
myself.
There was nothing more said, and If
Maddy ate little, CATER ate less. "Maddy,
he said, when they had adjourned to the
library, "you are very sensible gill, and
never knew before last night that needed
wife; but l am fifteen years older than
you, and what will the world say?"
You suit me, " she answered, putting up
her face for a kiss; "snd we will not invite
the world to the wedding"

TIL eParrot that Called Out sMertar., >

Opposite the residence Of PcIl's owner
there was some buildings in course Of
erection, and the men at the top Of the
scaffold were in the habit of calling to
those below for such material as they want
ed, "More brick, More mortar, I" and SO
on.
In very short time Polly had these terms,
by heart, as we'll as the gruff tones in which
they were uttered. No sooner did the
Irish laborer relieve himself of lend than
the everlasting cry, More mortar!" as
sailed his ears. He bore it with exemplary
patience till the mortar baord at the top Of
The scoffold was piled, but again the order
for amortar-more mortar!" was given.
Then, to the delight of the parrots master,
who was standing by, the man flung down
his hod, and making speaking trumpet Of
his hands, bawled to the brlcklayer above:
Is it mor-r-ter mad that ye are? Sure q

Ohie Republican Nomination.

 When the name of Senator Sher man was announced as permanent chairman the convention burst into wild enthusiasm and long continued applause. In returning thanks he re- viewed the work and history of there publican party. The republican party, he said, believed in the protection of American labor and in taxation of the liquor traffic. One question was national, the other belonged to the state.
 The convention then proceeded to nominations; Ben Bptterworth pre- senting J. B Foraker, of Cincinnati, Private Dalzell offered Sherman, and the convention again broke into wild applause, and could only be quieted by Sherman rapping vigorously. While he had not been insensible to the preference of large majority of of the delegates. he would say frank ly that he could not be candidate. He could not surrender his duties in the senate in justice to the people of Ohio, and the country. Aside from

Competition is said to be the lie of trade and we sincerely hope that it will prove to be so in this county. At the present writing there are II our midst representatives from tht smeltipg works and refneries of som' of the largest mining centres ot th' west These gentlemen are here fo' the purpose of buylng ore which + the one great commodity we have t. sell. It has been the cry for th' past ten years with our miners thati was no use taking out ore or doing auy work on their mines until we had competition between our loca mills and outside reduction works It is high time that this cry was stop ned and our miners went to work Il good earnest for we not only hay competition between our home ant outside buyers, but a good iEel. competition between the outsider; themselves. San Francisco. Pueblo. Denver and Albuquerque are nov bidding for our ores and vieing wltl each other to see which can afford tC pay the most for them. This IS wha we have been watching and waitins for during the past ten or twelve wears and now that the ob: :ect of oul des rsI is attained it is time we went to work in good earnest and produced some of the ore we have been talking 50 much about. That we have larg' quantities of ore in this county, the great bulk of which is of the kno most sought after by large smelling works, is beyond question, but un' fortunately the most of 1t IS still in the ground. and 1t will net only take time and money but industry and muscle to bring it to the surface. We want to see Mohave county produce ore in such quantities as will bring among us buyers from the reduction works of all the large cities in the .s union. Then, and not till then, will genuine competition commence in good earnest and, as the result of it miners will receive every cent that If in their ore beyond the cost of freight and reduction.
