If it was even tine, as asserted by some Kepublican papers, that A. J.

Hut it is not tiue, as he has always been a Kepublican and supported -Hayes for the I'resuleucy. He was the candidate of Gov ernor Hnuiptoii, purely on the ground of his legal ability and his admitted fitness f ir the high position, as well as hi willing iiess to sink paitisan feeling iu the dis- I charge of his duties as a judge.

Lemon, of IMair, would have been the nominee, had he prrtsed his claims, but that he prefers to serve out his time in tho btate Senate. Wo formed the opinion some time ago, based on the tone of the Repub lican paper in Klair county, that Mr. I. onion was frting his claims with ic maiknble vigor and eai nestntss. As the Jltiilicol is, however, tho mouth-piece of cx-Senator Kutau and M. F. Quay, Secre tary of the Common wealth, who know more about fixing a t-late and manipulating a convention than any other two Republican leadei iu the State, its announcement, as given above, may be icgarded as semi official. The milk in this cocoanut is ac counted for from tho fact that Don Cam-i-rou wants Lemon's voto in the Kepubli" can caucus of the LegisUtuie in January, 1871), to re-nominate him (Cameron) for United States Senator, and is Iherefoie un willing to run the 1 isk of the ek-cliou of a Iemocrat iu this district next fall as John A.

Sherman was the fust speaker, and, as ' - i usual, was as indiscreet in his utterances i j ccnerally is, and as he had been in , v...-i . iim inpvions Tuesdav at ai ' : dinner given by the Chamber of C ommerce, in w hich he laid down the absurd proposi- , tion that "without the army tl.e people 01 this country would be nothing but a mob.1 A mon other thintrs he told Grant to Lis . ... , . , . , i r , meant by this a third term, which Orant at m)e ,ime wanted very bsdlv, for unless, Gen.

" v,.. uv . - - V" a,,d ot -"banal:) w.llgodowu in history, us the most illustrious civilian representa- r live of the United States Government. I I then talked learnedly about Ca'sar Croni- well and William III. of England, and con ; tinued : "Then comes Buonapai to ; I don't i think that Gen. Grant is a Buonaparte," I and we will add for him that no living man i thinks so. "I think he is a greater soldier and a grea'er statesman," Simon concluded his eulogy by plainly blurting out the third ! term idea and giving Hayes an ugly thrust j under the fifth rib in this wise: "He ! (Grant) will come back with millions glad I to see him and welcome him with the j ausious desiie that he will take the helm of the ship of State as it goes to destruc tion," Other sjierches of like import were made, but the foregoing will answer cs samples. Taking in the scene 011 board the Tw ilight, matoiri, speeches and all, Kobcson was liter ally correct when he said, "We have been a sight this Jay unparalleled iu the annals of the woild," And so il was, for never befoie on the face of the earth had it a parallel. It was right and proper to give the ex-I'iesideht a cordial send off on his departure from the country, but in doing so it was not necessary to pervert the truth of his'ory, overwhelm!! him with fawning and abject man-worship, and tiansfoim him into a very demi-god. If Grant could be led captie by this inordinate and dis gusting llattery, so unspaii ingly fchoweicd upon him, and if the Indiana should en counter a huiricaue on her trip across the Atlantic, he might be tempted in his self importance to repeat to her tcnificd cap lain the memorable words of the great Ro man conqueror on a like occasion, "Fear not, for you carry Casar and his fortunes." In the Philadelphia fitcord' lively 10- ! poit of the speeches on the occasion of the departure of Gen. Grant, ex-Senator Cam eron is put down as saying : "This is in deed a compliment to a retiring president to rcceivn such a demonstration from men who had not received offices or favois at his hands." Our veteran ex-senatoi must have been rather oblivious of his surroundings. Not less than four ex-members of Grant' cabinet were iu his presence w hen he made this speech, besides numerous other pel sons who held important offices under tho late administration. That they should make this strong demonstration in grateful re membrance of past favors when the power to serve them has ceased is what enhances the value of this compliment to the ex Prcsideiit. Ex -Sen it tor Cameron is further reported as saying of General Grant in that e'y ai,fI ""affected way which gives such a cnarm to ins convivial speeches : "Some how he was always against me.

C, May 21, 1877. "THE I"iaIDKXTs" ATTITUDE. J Puling the ten" weeks that Mr. Hayes ; has resided in the White House, there has been a great rush for office. In not more than two or thieo instances in any of the appointments that he has made has he giv en any promise in advance. He takes his own time in selecting officials, and no amount of pressure can induce him to pre cipitate action. When Grant fust came into office he daily turned out, neck and heels, hundiedsof Andiew Johnson's office holders. Rut after ten weeks incumbency, Mr. Hayes has made scarcely any appoint- meuts to speak of. It is true that it has happened that a good many Ohio people ; have slipped into office, but Mr. Hayes has not followed the example of his prede- cessor by turning out good men to make I room for even them. In consequence there is much dissatisfaction among the hordes j of office seekers at the delay. MEXICAN FIM.lBl'STEKS. Xo importance whatever is attached in official circles here to the sensational sto- j ries afloat concerning filibustering expedi- j tions to Mexico under the direction of the I refugee President of that distracted Re- j public. The young men of the United j StaUs are not at present of romantic turn of mind sufficient to induce them to em- j bark in any such entei prise. The talk of ; thousands .if restless, d vent uioiis spirits in the South eager for (hit kind of busi ness is the simplest kind of nonsense. THE WII1HKFT KINO. The ense of Jake IU-hm, the boss of the Chicago whiskey ring, is still pending be fore Assistant Secretary of the Treasury French. His counsel claim that the suit against him fr $700,000 should be with diawu in pursuance of an alleged bargain with ex-Sec. Bristow. by which lie was to have full immunity for turning State's evi dence. It is the opinion that some such bargain was made, but it is deemed advis able to let the Court settle the point of im munity. FF.NTON VS. CONKLTXG. New York politicians hero mention ex Governor Fenton as likely to exercise great influence wi'.h the Administration, which is quite distasteful to the friends of Sena tor Conkling, who will undoubtedly range himself in opposition to the policy of Mr. Hayes at the coming extra session, he not having as yet been near the White House, aud, seemingly, taking no interest in the doings of the administration. Fenton's friends claim that he will have much to do with the New York appointments, and as there has long existed a bitter fued between Conkling and Kenton, we fuily anticipate not only a lively time, but a regular "Tuik meet Tuik fight." OLD- M AK-W HOT A I.KS-TA I.K, Stephens, ex-Vice President of the late Confederate States, has so much improved in health that he exited this city iu a special car for his home last Tuesday.

In a few days all the Justice of the Su preme Court will leave us for circuit duty nominally. In consequence of the lack of funds they will sit on the circuit bench for a much shorter period this term than has heretofore been the case, which will not remedy the excessive inconvenience caused by the want of funds at. this time. It is almost a pity that this depletion of the public exchequer does not come in Decem ber, 3s then such fat Judges as Clifford and Swayne could hibernate like beai sand suck their paw till warm weather came again. KF.SCMPTIOX OF SPECIE TATMENTS. Secretary Sherman is ever and anon drop ping by woid of mouth the details of his plan to resume the payment of specie by January, 1S7I, the time fixed bylaw. His financial views appear about the same as those so often proclaimed ujmjii the floor of the Senate. Anything mo: e than a cursory allusion would be supoirluous, as it is ex pected he w ill be guided in his operations by the convictions which he has so uniform ly tittered. Every move of the Stcictary is watched with hawk-eyes by the opponent of his financial theories, lest he might, lose sight of the imperative necessity of main taining the sinking fund. He will not re cognize silver as specie, and the South and West may go for his scalp in Congress, be cause theie is a general sentiment in those sections in favor of tho bi-meta.ic staudaid for money. WASHINGTON MUSIXG9. Tnhabitafed as Washington now is with the intelligence and refinement of our for eign population, and gathering in its beau- tilul streets and wide avenues the residen ces of the renowned diplomat of all the great cities of Europe, as well as our own nation, it seems like a transformation from the grand throng of aristocratic old resi dents w ho assembled here to see Washing ton depart for his home nearly eighty years ago. The generation is not yet dead that could invest this classic ground with lots of romance of the past, and many a soter old white headed burgher who now figures as "ye oldest inhabitants" can re collect (peihaps not without a sixh) when he wl'.i-pored soft nonsense in the ears of our grandmothers while strolling along some avenue of a summer night more than half a century ago. It lias now the genial pet fume of a garden of Eden, or a paradise not ljst, but beautiful forever. Palaces have taken the idsce of hovels. ! Whole squares .f places have leen filled with besutiruf residences, and the eviden ces of wealth and tas'.e greet one on every hand. Our parks are blooming with mag nolias and exotics, and fancy builds up a picture of beauty for fhe future of our city 1 equal to that with which Babylon of old j enchanted the woild. Here Lafayette was j received by a grateful people, and here too j the Swedish Nightengale took America by ; stoim, whilst Ji.ii num bagged his thous- ands, "ye oldest inhabitants" paid his hundred ior a ticket on the Trout sat in the "Old National," and diod since with out a dollar. The glorious associations of the past have not as yet departed, and at no season of the year could our city bo vis ited with more pleasure than at present. Corcoran has given us an Art Gallery filled with paintings and statuary by the best, artists, ancient, and modern, to which fhe visitor wearied with out-door sight seeing may turn and spend hours in feasting-his j eyes upon the beauties of art.

Andehson. Swindlets have been extensively oper ating in Western Pennsylvania on the strength of the Murphy movement. They go to a well to-do countryman, represent that Fiancin Murphy is at the head of a secret political temperance movement, swear in their victim as agent for his dis trict, tell him that $2,000 will be furnished him to prosecute the woik, together with a book of instructions fiom headquarter at Philadelphia, collect an initiation fee of $50, and leave the victim to discover the swindle by the lapse of time.

TnOVT.T.E AHEAD FOR THE FIJACDI.ENT ritKSIDENT KO EXTHA SESSION AT ALL. "The fact is that Hayes, in adopting the Democratic policy South, has signed the death warrant of these same, rebellious gen tlemen, and, if he persists in carrying out his civil service, which means to eliminate political influence from two kinds of the officei s, he deals a death blow to tho party itself. Now, you see that between these antagonisms a President, fatally bent on carrying out a platform on which be was nominated, and which the f;amers forgot as soon as it was promulgated, and the paity itself, the feeling is despeiate and deadly. There is 110 relief, because there can be no compromise. Half the work has been accomplished, and the same firmness and courage that have brought about this much promise all." "I see the Kepublican leaders find too late that it were better to have a Demo cratic President carry out a Democratic policy than a Kepublican. The first is an assaul; that rather strengthen the 1 other side, while the last is confession aud suicide." "But it is too late. That. i precisely why the extra session is held iu October instead of June." "I don't see it." "ISo, but 3-oti will when I give yon a few facts to stand on. The Democrats have , the House. The Democrats, aided bv tho little handful of carpet bngeers can have the Senate. Now these last, in view of the very unpleasant death in stoie for them, have been negotiating with the Democracy to have that organization in Congress do what the Electoral Commission failed in, ami thus go back of the returns and unseat Hayes by showing that Tilden was dnlv elected."

The Radical rascals of j Fouth Carolina and Iuiisiana, maddened by the unexpected desertion of Hayes, had icady for publication all the rot of Florida 1 aud Louisiana through which Hayes se- j cured his inauguration, and the production of that would have forced an investigation, and tho President would have found him- self dependent upon five desperate fellows . in the Senate. They would then be mas ters of the situation, instead of the Admin istration." "I don't believe the Democracy could be induced to countenance such a scheme." "Innocent man ! The Democracy, at leas tn) leading Democrat, would enter into ! a conspiracy for any such a purpose, especi ally with carpet-bakers and convicted rogues who turn S'ate's evidence. lint suppose some startling discoveries were made by Mad.

"And so to avoid all this the extra session was c:'led for October." "Yes. and that is not all. If they find they can run tlie machine Pmoothly until then, the President will revoke his procla mation, and we shall have no extra session at all." Cincinnati Enquirer. The Marital, Trocbi.es or as f.x-Ac- DITOH G en ckal. A special correspondent j or tl;e I'tiila. Jtmrs, writing from Warren, Pa., under date of May 20, says that Gen. Harrison Allen, late Auditor General, is having a very spirited time in a domestic way. As has already been Mated he has instituted proceedings against his wife for j divorce, and the matter is in tlie courts, The other day, however, tieneral Allen, hearing that his wife at their borne wus entertaining a man named George Watson, h went with the chief of police of this place to arrest Watson, who is a Titnsville man. At the front ent ranee to the house Mrs. A'len offered resistance, and when the door was forced in she discharged a piMol, but w ithoutjinjury to any one, aliliouj;!i the policeman narrowly escaped. Watson, who had been surprised in the bouse, m.tde his escape out the back way and rodo off. General Allen, with the policeman, pursued in a carriage. Watson fired a couple of shots at them, which they returned, and a fnsilado was kept up for over two miles, Watson finally abandoning Lis carriage and escaping into '.he woods. Watson is reported to have returned to the Allen house at night and sent woid to the officers that he did not intend to inn am ay, but the nrst man to mteifcre would gel hint. fhe General some time since fine residence to his wife. abandoned bin A most unprovoked and wanton mur der was committed in East Carondolet, III., opposite South St. Louis, on Saturday. A man named Henry Jeffries, under the in fluence of liquor, met a negro called (teorge walking along one of the streets of the villacre. lie 01 dried him to get out of the way and let a white man pass. The negro promptly obeyed, but Jeffries pacd on to a sal. on near by and said he oi;ht to have killed the "damned nisrjjrr." Shortly after he saw the same negro lean ing against the fence in the yard of a friend. He ordered the negro to come to him, but the black man refused and ran into tbe bouse of hisfiicnd. Jeffries fol lowed, but wa prevented from entering the hone by the negro holding the door shut. Ji-fTi ies then stepped back a pace or two, drew his pistol and fired two shots through the panel of the door, both of! which took effect in George's head killing bim instantly. Jeffries immediately lied, aud at last accounts had not been arrested. Three months ago tho body of a vouni? man was found, lightly covered with earth ! and leaves, in an unfrequented spot, near Philadelphia. The Coroner has been in vestigating the case ever since, and is now satisfied that the murdered man was Hugo Hoeme. of Berlin, who came to this coun try in tbe winter of 1876. Hugo's father wrote to the Coroner that he had received letters, evidently forgeries, purporting to be from his son, and asking for remittan ces. Ry means of a decoy letter the wri ter was discovered iu the person of Hein rich Wahlen, alias Max Hugo, alias Max Keller, alias Max Iloehtne, now in the Kings County Penitentiary for a robbery. He denies the murder, but admits having seen Hoehme, and says the latter sold him a trunk, containing papers, for Iff, at Cjs tle Garden. A requisition will be procur ed. The penitentiary officers say that the convict's mind seems unsettled. The Kansas City Times says that on the arrival of the morning train on the Missouri River, Fort Soott and Gulf Rail road, yesterday, a little giil, a mere infant in size, evidently in the last stapes of con sumption, was taken from one of the pas senger coaches- She was wan and r.i and weak.
