remarks among Ot1clalS OF otner depart
ments here. ''It surprised me that Loring
has done nothing on subject so import
ant to the agricultural community" said
treasury official, "and yet 1 don't know that
I ought to be surprised at anything, for
he does not seem to be at all practical in
any of his works, and goes lecturing round
the country and leaving his department to
run itself, so to speak. Congressman
come to US during the session
to get facts about this subject or that,
saying that the agricultural department has
nothing of which they can make any use,
even upon Its own topics. Now, Loring
got only last year, in the first session of
the Forty seventh congress, $25,000 for
Investigating the diseases of domestic ami
mals-either $4,000 or S25,OOO, have
forgotten which-and yet upon this topic
affecting one of the greatest articles of
export as produced by his agriculturists,
his department is confessedly ignorant.
Why, the sum given him last year for this
very purpose is five times as much as
Nimmo, of the bureau of statistics, gets for
his internal commerce business, and yet
you see the difference in the result"

A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
There seems no doubt that Judge Law
renee, the first comptroller of the treasury,
is really a candidate for
the governors chair in Ohio.
Talking with your correspondent about his
recent visit in Ohio he was asked how he
found his fences in his visit to that politi-
cal pasture. Oh he laughed, Il didn't
go on any political mission. I went to
attend to two or three old hut important
cases had there, cases which nobody else
could attend to for me, for
nobody else had given them
the study had, and won them, too," he
added.
F'Is there any foundation for the rumor
judge, that you are candidate for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination in
that state:"
''Well," he replied, and this time the
laugh was only smile, "That is a pretty
hard one. I believe some of the news
papers have been talking of me
for the place"
''And whether you would accept q
nomination.
''Oh, really, now," and it was laugh
again. 'Really, now, you must not expect
one to go around publicly declining q
thing never yet offered him."
A personal friend of the judge, on the
same ay,remarked to your correspondent
that he thought there was no doubt of his
candidacy. To the suggestion that he is
already comfortably situated as the comp
troller of the treasury, he answered that sc
far as that went the judge was ''well fixed
any way, as he is a wealthy man and has
no need whatever to trouble himsel
with any sort of employment
except so far as he desires to engage hi
attention. 1T is the honor OF the thing
my boy; it is the honor of the thing he il
is after" Some of the arguments urged il
his favor are that he would command th'
almost unanimous support of the farming
community, being large farmer himself:
that he would not be assailable by eithel
the temperance people OF those on th
other side of the question; that he ha
finances with which to aid in the fight
that his record on the tariff and as a mem
Der of congress during the war are strong
Iy IN his favor, and that as a stumper h.
catches the popular heart. The convention
is only eight weeks away.
THE CONSTITUTION.
There is talk of making one NOR
effort to retain the vessel Con
stitution upon our naval list
Years ago, When it was proposed to breal
up the historic old vessel of that name
such protest went up that it was feun,
necessary to go through the form of re
building her, though really very little o
the old vessel was then retained
In 1876, the centennial year
it came to the surface again "rebuilt,
only a single piece of the original yes
sci, however, finding its way into the nev
structure. 1t is proposed now to take thi
remaining block off of the hull bull
around it, and make it part of one o
the new steel vessels to be built under re
cent orders of congress, giving the nam
Constitution to the new vessel. Whethe
this plan will be carried out remains to b
seen, but it is not improbable that it may
as it would be the best means of perpetv
ating the name and doing honor to tn
memory of the noble old frigate. A goo
many people who want an opportunity t
find fault have been complaining of lat
years about the names of our naval ve
sells, and this would give these particula
persons a chance to rest
