Judge Hoadly, formerly Governor of
Ohio, but now Il citizen of New York, is
urged As tit man for Chief Justice, but
his chances for receiving the appointment
are regarded as not promising. At the
banquet given to his honor just prior to
his departure from Cincinnati he de-
nounced the corruption and rascality of
the Ohio Democracy so vehemently that
his speech was then and there accepted by
that party as his political death warrant.
lloadly, as Governor, was certainly parti-
san enough. hut he could not endorse the
Cincinnati Democratic conspiracy of rob
hiug the Republican candidates of their
elections won by fair and legal majorities.

General Grants Literary style.

Few men in the country knew the great
President better than George
w. Child, the widely known and respected
editor of the Philadelphia Ledger. Calm
and catholic as he usually is in the ex-
preston Of his opinions of men, he can
not suppress his Indignation at the con-
duct and claims of Adam Badeau. The
Ledger says:
The low down meanness of this post-mor-
TEN attack upon General Grant is almost be-
yond imagination as coming from man who
was, for more than twenty years, the bene-
fciary of his unmerited favor. All the world
knew that General Grant was an industrious
writer-as General and as President-of al
manner of public papers. from those of slight
importance to those of the utmost public
consequence. The people of his wn country
especially were well acquainted with the
style of his writing. its planness, its direct
ness, its clearness. it, force. While, as he
says himself. there was no pretension 10
literary style about it, it was a style possess
ing peculiar merit and attractiyeness. He
~rote with great facility and freedom, too
his manuscript when intended for official use
or for publication, having as few corrections
in il as any known to coming from a
public man. While writing these lines We
have on the editorial table before US the
original manuscript of the memorable adj
dress he delivered at the opening of the great
Centennial Exhibition, which he wrote of
hand in the library of Mr.. Childs here in
Philadelphia. There are but four corrections
in the whole of its four long pages If there
are other writers of official papers, or for
publication, who make so few corrections,
they are very rare indeed.

FoRr FAIRFIELD. - Our correspondent
writes, April 4: The store of VIM. Small &
Co. was buglarized Friday night An en-
trance was effected by prying of one of the
front doors. The thieves drilled hole down
through the top of the safe and charged it
with powder. The safe had double doors, all
of which were blown off. One of them was
blown ten feet from the safe. The safe was
thoroughly ransacked, but very little of value
is missing. There was sitting on the bottom
of the safe a bowl containing $50 in bills and
small quantity of silver. None of the
money was taken and the bowl was found the
next morning sitting on the floor short dis

There is no clue to the robbers.

The House Committee on the Election
of President and Nice-President has favor
ably considered the Marsh joint resolution
proposing an amendment to the Coustitu-
ton of the United States looking to the
election of President and Nice-President
by the direct vote of the people. 1t pro-
vdes that after the people of each State
shall have east their votes by ballot for
President and Nice-President. the proper
State officers shall obtain an electoral ratio
for the State by dividing the whole number
of votes returned by the whole number of
Strtes' electoral votes. They shall then
ident aud Nice-Prcsident one electoral vote
for each ratio of popular votes received bv
them, respectively. and, if necessary. adj
ditional electoral votes for successive
largest fractions of n ratio until the whole
number of the States electoral votes shall
have been distributed. Three general re-
turns shall then be made up. comprising
the popular vote by counties, parishes. or
other principal divisions of the State, and
their appointment of electoral votes. and
shall transmit one copy to the President
of the Senate and one to the Speaker of
the House. The third copy shall be de-
posted in the office of the State Secretary.
This scheme of again tinkering the Con-
stitution will probably end in failure, as
have all previous efforts of this kind. The
sober sense of the country has reached the
conclusion, that popular suffrage has al
ready sufficient scope in this country, and
to the barriers and regulations which the
patriotic early statesmen of the country
deemed necessary to the national welfare.

Taxation should be limited to the neces-

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

III. Il. Lewis, Secretary Of the Y. M.
c. Association for the state Of Wiscon-
sin, gave an address in the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday evening. He
spoke of the important work being
done in the state and its progress. Mr..
Lewis was followed by G. Hammond,
Secretary of the Y. NJ. C. Association
OF this city. He presented the need of
the vigorous prosecution of the work
here. He said there were 1900 Young
men in the town. He asked who are
these young men? 1t was sufficient to
answer, they were like the generality of
young men elsewhere: they seek for
association. But where are these
young men? One hundred of them
are members in our five evangelical
churches; eighty others, not members.
are in our Y. NJ. G.. Association. But
where are the great majority Of the
young men? In one hour. on u single
evening, there were found by actual
count 442 young mel in the fifteen sa-
Icons in this city. At an average of
little less than fifty cents each spent
in saloons per week, the amount week.
ly disbursed would be $500, and in one
year the amount paid into the Golfers of
the saloon.keepers would be 10000.

OLD-TIME CHURCH TUNES.

The wish is sometimes heard express
ed by old people that more of the old.
time tunes could he heard sung in
churches and at devotional meetings.
1t is true remembrances Of the past are
revived by the singing of the long-ago
hymns; they are sometimes pleasing
to hear. A writer i'm the Chicago
Journal gives list of the old-fashion-
ed psalm tunes, which were once sang
with frequency, and which old persons
delight to hear; he gives the names of
" Just as l am" 81 would notslive al
ways" Rock Of Ages" and others of
the same period. Now the tunes in
which these hymns are sung are not
old; they mark only middle period
between three-quarters OF century
ago and the present time. The anames
of the really old tunes in which the
hymns were sung are Mortality, Near,
Elaboration, China and others. To
the latter-named tune the words
"Why should we mourn departed
friends" was almost sure to be sung
with much tender pathos at funerals.
There probably could not a choir be
found in city or country that could
sing the old-time hymn tunes the
music mostly went out of print fifty
or more years ago. 1t is doubtful
whether anything desirable would be
gained by reviving the fashioned
singing. The difference of the old
church singing from the present was
in its plaintive and mournful char
acter, having in it less to uplift and in
spire with Joyous emotion. Modern
church music is an Improvement over
the old: it has more of life and ANNA
ton. But there has been danger of
excess, by running modern church
music into the operate warbling.
