that Bureau the position has been held
by a Republican, 6rst by Mr.. Barnard,

John Eaton. Under the present Demo
cratic administration, Gen. Eaton has
the good sense to resign He is anxious
that the President should at once accept
his resignation. as he has been elected
President Of Marietta College. He is
nov filing both positions. hu,, unlike
most Republican Office holders, be has
quaIms OF conscience when be bears the

money from the National Treasury in

this strait, and hence the esgerness With
which DR.. Kirkwood's friends are urging
his appointment.
"Dr. Kirkwood has sIvsrs been q

OF SCHOOLS at Cambridge, Bucyrus anil
