Notes Of the Parade.

DR.. Booking burned ten pounds of red
fire.
Major Brockett rode proudly beside the
big ball.
The Republicans will have another
parade next Monday evening.
The Fifth ward Club were attired in felt
plugs-and their other clothes.
There were lots of mottoes on the ball,
but they din't amount to much.
Enthusiasm was the only thing lacking
to make the parade fair success.
Three of the clubs in the parade were
composed entirely of boys-100 in all.
The co!orsd folks had coon along with
their log cabin and he seeue1 to iesl at
home.
Some of the Marshsl's aides had very
scary horses ard they couldn't do much
with them.
When the parade passed the REGISTER
office it had 493 men all told, excepting
the bands.
The Martins Ferry Club made about
the prettiest show, and marched we'll.
They carried lanterns.
The mud on the streets over which the
parade passed was pretty we'll dried up
on the sh, of those in line.
The column had q very "stiug-out" ap-
pearance as it went down Market street,
there being spices of so yards between
some OF the cubs.

side of the case, raid he was sure there IVES
I purely obstructive disposition on the
side of the B. & D. Referring to the asser-
tons, in Council, that the State laws re-
la,ing to crossings of railroads would not
pply to the B. & o., Mr.. Russell said
taere was no doubt but that o
crossing could be compelled from
the B. & D. as we'll as from the
and Harrisburg, the Ohio River
Railroad Company, or any other. He con-
ceived it most unjust thing on the part
,f the city to attempt to compel the B. &
D. to agree to Q crossing of the very indefi-
Rite nature proposed.
In concluding, Mr.. Russell said that,
without special authority, he felt sure in
saying that with anything like fair dispo-
,ition of the three points he bad enumerat-
ID, the ordinances now pending would be
lccs ptable to tho Company, and all trouble
md friction would be at an end. He re.
7srssd to the present delay in passenger

bsr, to ccnfer with committee, from the
B. & o. and Wheeling and Harrisburg
Companies, in preparing an ordinance
agree able to all parties, and submit the
same to Council.
There was q very long discussion over
this, and finally, after II o'clock, the res
olution was adopted.
Mr.. Sweeney then moved that Council
te requested to postpone action, pending

and this was adopted, and the Chamber

A Story of Tom Corwin.

Recommendations do not count much In
obtaining office in these days. The presi-
dent and his cabinet know how easy 1t ID
to get signatures to any kind OF petition
One can get thousand signatures in any
county for the release Of a murderer, and
public men give letters freely to get rid OF
Office seekers Almost any man who has
not been in the penitentiary can get an
Endorsement from his congressman or
senator. and the majority OF public men
are like Tom Corwin. Corwin was too
good natured to refuse anything Of any
man who asked it. and he indorsed the
applications Of all who CANE to him. At
last he was appointed secretary Of the
treasury, and these Endorsements began
10 come in One day man whom he did
remember called upon him in the treasury
department and asked for position.
Corwin asked the man If he had any in

hand for them lie opened the first paper
he touched, and it was letter to William
NJ Meredith. who had been secretary OF
the treasury before Corwin. and 1t strongly
Endorsed the bearer for q position. 1t was
