Ma. Uristow baa resigned his po
Hitioo as Secretary of the Treasury,
arid the President bas appointed and
tbe Senate confirmed, Hon. Lot M.
Morrill as his successor.
Tbe country will part with Mr.
Bristow with reluctance, bat it will
at tbe same time be felt tbat bis suc
cessor is in every way worthy of con
fidence and tbat nothing will be lost
by the change. Mr. Morrill is at pre
sent one of the U. S. Senators from
tbe State of Maine, and bas filled
that exalted position for the past fif
teen years. He bas always been
prominent in that body, and is now
and bas been for years chairman of
tbe committee on appropriations.
Hi financial views are in harmony
with those of bis predecessor, and it
is needless to eay bis reputation for
personal purity is of tbe highest.
Tbe selection of Mr. Morrill is an
admirable one, and to tbe Ik-mocrats
who looked to see Mr. Rristow suc
ceeded by a gentleRian of less char
acter the d'sappointment is a sore
one.
Is tbe varied experience of tbe
oldest politician in tbe country there
never was a political convention
whose action was so universally greet
ed with enthusiastic approbation.
All kinds, sorts and factions of Re
publicans jjin in pronouncing tbe ac
tion taken at Cincinnati as wise and
praise worty.
Without the slightest exageration
it can be said that tbe action of the
convention is satisfactory, not only to
tbe masses of tbe party, but also to
its political leaders, and to all tbe
candidates whose names were before
it Immediately after tbe nomina
tions had been officially announced,
each and every one of the candidates
who had been rivals for tbe nomina
tion in that spirit of unselfish mag
nanimity so admirable in public men,
telegraphed tbe nominee(Governor
Hayes) bis personal congratulations,
and pledged his hearty support to se
cure bis triumphant election. Nor
was tbis mere formal complient on
tbe part of the distingaised gentle
men who bad competed for the nom
ination, tbey meant it with their
whole hearts, and the great States
who bad severally named tbem as
their favorites, have since then rati
fied and endorsed the ticket with an
enthusiasm aud unanimity unparal
leled. The party has never been so thor-
ouirblv united since the days of
Abraham Lincoln. A responsive
chord appears to have been touched
in every Republican heart, and with
out exception all are well pleased
with what was done at Cincin
nati. Tbe universal opinion ap
pears to be that tbe ticket combines
and consolidates more elements than
could have been done by any other
bich it was possible to place in
nomination. It is absolutely unas
sailable and irreproachable in person
al character, combines the highest
moral and intellectual attributes, in
spires personal trust, and commands
tbe support of tbe entire Liberal, In
dependent and doubtful vote of tbe
country. With such hearty and unit
ed approbation, there is not the
shadow of tbe doubt of success, and
tbe only question of difference exist
ing to-day among our friends is as to
tbe number of electoral votes, which
the ticket is sure to receive. All in
terest in tbe St Louis nominations is
already lost, so certain is tbe assur
ance of vietory felt by every Repub
lican throughout tbe land, now that
tbe party for the first time in many
years again presents a solid front to
the enemy.
Thr eountry is ablaze with ratifi
cation meetings from Maine to far dis
tant California. Everywhere the
sound of approbation and rejoicing
comes op from Republicans of every
phase and shade and sentiment In
Washington on night laat,
the largest meeting assembled in that
city since the war, came together to
ratify the nomination of Hayes and
Wbeeler. President Grain and a
somber of distinguished Senators
were on the stand. The meeting was
presided orer by Senator Logan, and
seecbe8 were made by Senators
Thurman, Morton, Frelinghuysen
and Oglesby, Attorney General Taft
and General Rntler.

The aali4alr.
Kith ebfokd It. Hayes
Tbe Republican candidate for the
Presidency is a native of Ohio, a
graduate of Keoyon College and the
Cambridge Law School, an Industri
ous lawyer, a gallant soldier under
Rosecrans, McClellan and Sheridan,
a Congressman who rarely made a
speech, and a Governor who has been
twice re-elected, and is exceedingly
popular in his own State. Ruther
ford D. Hayes was born in Delaware,
Ohio, on October 4, 1322. He led
his class at college, and after com
pleting his studies in Cambridge and
in Thomas Sparrow's law office at
Columbus, acquired a fine practice at
Cincinnati. His genial manners and
fine voice commended him to public
favor, and bis reputation at the bar
was so good that be was elected City
Solicitor in 1$j8.
At the outbreak of tbe war he re
ceived tbe appointment of .Maj.r of
tbe 23d Obio Infantry. Tbis was
one of the first regiments in tbe field,
and had a distinguished leader Col.
Wm. S. Rosecrans. Early in Juuo,
1 SOI, tbe regiment was mustered in
to service for three years, but before
it left Camp Chase its commander re
ceived a commission as brigadier
general iu the regular army. Late
in July tbe regiment was ordered to
Clarksburg, W. Va., and had Its first
active service in hunting down the
guerrillas that infested tbe spurs of
the Rich Mountain ranj,e. .Major
Haves served temporary as Jutle
Advocate on Gen. Rosecrans's stair,
and in November, lSCl, received bis
commission as lieutenant-colonel. In
April, 102, tbe regiment, under com
mand of Lieut. Col. Hayes, left its
winter quarters and moved in the di
rection of Irincetnn. After two
weeks .kirmisbing and foraging the
force was attacked by four regiments
of infantry under command of Gen.
Heatb, and alter making a determin
ed stand, was compelled to retire. In
tbe heart of August orders were re
ceived to march with all possible dis
patch to tbe Great Kanawha. Tbe
regiment made 104 miles iu about
three days, embarked on transports
for Parkersburg, and took tbe ears
for Washington, where it joined Gen.
McClellan 's army.
Tbe first shot at South Mountain
were fired by Col. Hay's command.
Tbe regiment wos ordered to ascend
the mountain at an early hour by an
unfrequented road. Tbe enemy
were posted behind stone walls, and
greatly outnumbered tbeir assailants,
and tbe regiment was exposed to a
murderous fire of-musketry and grape
at short range. Out of tbe 350 men
wbo went into action, 100 -soon lay
dead or wounded on the Geld. Lieut
Col. Hayes wasbadly wounded, bis
arm being broken, and tbe command
devolved upon Major Comly. Tbe
commander, however was not ready
for ambulance or hospital ; there was
still a good deal of fight in him, for
be reappeared t,n tbe field undaunted,
with bis wound balf dressed, and
fought until be was so weak tbat bis
men bad to carry him away. After
tbe battle of Antietam tbe regiment
was ordered to Kanawha Valley.
Lieut-Col. Hayes was appointed to
tbe colonelcy of tbe regiment, and
in December, 1802, was placed in
command of the First Brigade of the
Kanawha division. Duriog tbe cam
paign of 1S(i3 his division was expos
ed to arduous rather than dangerous
service, but in IS04 be won bis pro
motion by his gallantry at Winches
ter, Fisher's HUJ, aud Cedar Creek.
In tbe battle of Opequao. Col- HayeV
brigade, after advancing across g,ey-
eral open fields, gained tbe crest of
a bill and caught a glimpcs of the
enemy's line. Movinir forward un
der a heavy Gre the brigade dashed
through a fringe of underbrush and
halted on tbe edge of a blougb 40 or
50 yards wide, and nearly waist
deep. When he saw the whole line
wavering Col. Hayes plunged in un
der a shower of bullets aud grape,
and dragged his way through. He
was the first man oyer. The infan
try floundered through tho cjorass,
and tbe enemy were driven Ladi.
Col. Hayes exposed himself reckless
ly, and was balf tbe time in advance
of the l'ne. At Winchester his horse
was shot under him, and be narrowly
escaped with his life. As he lay on
tbe Geld, stunned by his fall and won
dering why the troops were not or
dered to charge the enemy's line,
there was a cloud of dust on the
Winchester turnpike, and Sheridan
rodn into camp on his magnificent
borse in tiua to save tbe day. Dur
ing this terrible campaign Col. Hayes
bail three horses shot uiidar hitn and
was wounded four times. In the
Spring 1SC5 he was given the com
mand of an expedition agaiust
Lynchburg, and was preparing to
croas the mountains of West Virgi
nia when (La war was brought to a
close. For bis bravery at Fisher's
Hill and Cedar Creek Ua was bre
veted major-general.
In tbe Fall of 18C4 Gen. Hayes
was elected to Congress from Cincin
nati by a large majority. He seldom
appeared on the floor of the House,
not making any elaborate speeches
J nor taking a prominent part in the
- - "...
rea'unsirucuon measure which en-
grooaitd Ute attention of Congress,
lie wag a member of the committee
. at a . .
on i rivate iaoa Uaim, and jvas
Chairman of tbe Couuuillee on Li
brary. The delegation from Ubio at
tbat time was a very strong one, in
cluding Geo. Schenck, John A. Bing
ham, James M. Ashley, Samuel Shell
abarger, and Columbus Delano, and
it is not surprising that the inexperi
enced member took a lower seat than
bis brilliaut colL-aguea, and was con
tent to be a listener, Jo JSCS he was
re-elected, but resigned tbe position
in 18C7, in order to accept the Re.
publican nomination for Governor.
His opponent was Judge Tburman,
and tbo content was a verv clow one
Tbo Republican platform tbat year
bad several unpopular planks, and
tbe Democratic candidate was an fX
ceediotfly strong one, but Getr Hayes
entered upon ibe cauva'R with un
it onion v igr, won hosts f friends
by bis bearing on the tttump, and waa
elected bv a majoruy of nearly
o,Ot0 vote Iu iStitf be was renomi
nated, bis opponent Ixmii? Mr. Pen
dleton, and be increased bis lead by
several thousand votes' After bis
retirement from office be resumed tbe
practice of his profession. In H"2
be was a candidate for Cougress, but
was defeated bv Henrv 1! Baaniog,
j a Liberal Republican, by 2,500 votes.
In April, in,,!, be wus nominated
for Assistant Treasurer at Cincinnati,
but ibe Senate adjourned withoat con
firming tbe appointment. In 1S75 be
was uominated for Governor in tbe
face of his withdrawal in favor of
Judge Taft The eaavass wbicb
followed wa alinoct without paral
lel in the political annals cf Ohio.
After manifesting a etroug disposi
tion to screen themselves behind the
school question the Republicans as
sumed the offensive ou the currency
question, came out boldly for bard
money, and won the day. During
tbis heated canvass Gov. Hayes was
constantly on the stump, and the
great victory for bard money which
was won la.'t October ai due in
laree measure to tLe zeal and Gre of
the Republican leader. Senator Sher
man, in a letter last Janrary, paid
this tribute to Gov. Hayes, and
brought him prominently . before tbe
couutry as a candidate for the Presi
dency. I believe tbe nomination of Gov.
Hayes would give us mere strength,
taking tbe whole country at lurge,
than any other man. He is better
known in Obio than elsewhere; but
tbe qualities that bave made bim
strong in Ohio will, as the canvass
progresses, make bim stronger ia
every State. He vas a good soldier,
and though not greatly distinguished
as such, he performed bis full duty,
and I noticed, when traveling with
him in Ohio, the soldiers who served
under bim 1 ved and respected him.
As a member of Couirress be was
not a leading debater or manager in
Dartv tactics, but was always sensi
ble, inuustrious, and true to his con
victions and tbe principles aud ten
dencies of his party, and commanded
tbe sincere respect of bis colleagues
As a Governor thrice elected he ias
shown good executive abilities and
great popularity, not only with Ke
publicaus, but with our adversaries.
On tbe currency question, which is
likely to enter largely into the can
vass, be is thoroughly sound, but is
not eommittcJ to any particular
measure, so as to be aisauiea irom
co-operating with any plan that may
promise success. Oa tbe wain ques
tions, protection for all, equal rights,
and the observance of tbe public
faitb. be is as trustworthy as any one
named. He is fortuuatelv free from
the personal enmities and antagon
isms that would weaken some of his
competitors; be is unblemished in
name, character, and conduct, and
be is a uulive born citizen of onr
State. I bave thus, as you request
ed, given you my view of the Pres
idential questiou, taken as dispas
sionately as if I was examining a
proposition in geometry, and tbo re
sult drawn from tbe facts not too
strongly stated is that the Republi
can party ia Ohio ought, in their
.tate Convention, to give Governor
Hayes a united delegation instructed
to support bim in tbo National Con
vention. Not that we have any spe
cial claim to have a candidate taken
from Ohio, but tbat in Gov. Hayes
we honestly believe the Republican
party in tbe United States will have
a candidate who can combine greater
popular strength and greater assur
auceof success than other candidates,
and with equal ability to discharge
tbe duties of Presidentof the United
States in case of election.
The Ohio delegation was instruct
ed to vote for Gov. Hayes at Cincin
nati, and he has' now secured tbe
nomination as a compromise anti
Blaine candidate.
Physically, Gov. Hayes is a pow
erful man, weighing between ISO and
1D0 pounds. His friends say tbat he
can jump any fence upon which be
can place his hands, that be is a splen
did horseman and a capnI shot, and
that he can cut a good swath in any
Granger's meadow.
WILLIAM A. WHEELER.
William A. Wheeler, member of
Congress aud nominee ot the Cincin
nati Convention for ice President
of tbe foiled States, is a native of
this state and 57 years of litre, bav-
ng been born at Malone, Franklin
County, on June 30, 1819. Although
he bas been engaged during bis life
j professional and business pursuits
his career has been largely a public
one, for he has been in some elective
olhce for msny years. After being
District-Attorney in bis own county

for two terms, as ejected fclate Sen
ator for four years, aul tjnaily was

Wbig3. A common school and acad
emic education in bis native town

17 years of sge.be vts admitted to
tbe University of Vermont. JJe re
mained there two rears, aud then
concluded to leave college and enter
upon tbe blutly of law. Wbeu be
bad completed bis course be was ad
milted to practice, aud at once opened
an office. His first pleadings were
very successful, and be became very
popular with . bis clients and neigh
bors, so that after a few years be was
nominated by the Democrats to be
District Attorney of Franklin county
a position wbicb he couiiuued to
Gil duriog several years.
His first election occurred immedi
ately after the udopti n of the new
Constitution, being tbe first tbat was
held under its provisions. He be
came a candidate for the Assembly
at the close of bis last term as Dis
trict Attorney, and was elected on
tbe Whig t'ljiet, tbe county having
cast a tie vol) at the Jast election be
tween tbe Locofoco gad Whig candi
dates. Mr. Wheeler wag agaiu chosen
to represent his county Iu the Legis
lature, and at the close of his arm
gave several years to bis profession,
and became cashier of tbe local bank,
a position wbicb be held for 14 years.
He became President of the Ogdens-rV-urg
and Rouse's Point Railroad,
and .continued to be the active and
supervisory ofteer or . years.
When tbo JiepybJrcaa party was
formed from tbe Whig orgsnijiation,
be followed its fortuuos, and in Ji$
was elected State Senator. He was
chosen Presiden. pro tern, for two
terms, the Senate in 1S53 being the
first in this State iu wbicb the Repub
lican party bad control.
In tbe fall of 1S59 be was a candi
date from this X y lib Congressional
District, toniposed cf the counties of
Clinton, Essex and Franklin. This
was the XXXVIIth Congree, ma-
roorable for its grave responsibilities
at tbe war crisis. Tbe three coun
ties were all slightly Republican, and
irave Mr. Wheeler a majority tf
about 1,000. During lb long and
active sessions f this Congress Mr
Wbeeler acted with hjs party in the
anti-slaverv measures . aud iu tbe
prosecution of tbe war. ' .h'-
Mr. Wheeler retired to private life,
where be remained for four years. In
18G7 he was elected a member of tbe
State Constitutional Convention,

He was at tbat time appomteu a
member of tbe Committed on Appro

achievement of bis Congressional ser
vice, and tht which gave htm prom
inence Itefore tbe country, was the
"Wbeeler Compromise." Previous
to this a sub-committee of tbe Select
Committee on Louisiana Affairs, con
sisting of Charles Coster, William
Walter Phelps, and Clarkson N. Pot
ter, had visited Louisiana, and pre
sented a unanimous report to the ef
fect tbat tbe irovernment of which
William Pitt Kelloee was the bead
was larerely responsible for tbe mis
fortunes of tbe people in tbat State.
Tbis report was accepted by all but
tie blindest of partisans in the North
as a truthful presentattoi of the situ

Seloct Committee took tbe extraor
dinary step of going to Louisiana
and repeating tbe work already done.
Tbe result was thtt one of the other
members of tbe Committee, Samuel
S. Marshal, agreed with Messrs. I ou

logg Government was a usurpation,
and should not be recognized, and
that the action of the Returning
Board was illegal, but stated tbat a
compromise was desirable.
This was the majority report
Messrs. Hoar. Wheeler, an 1 Frye, as
a niinority, also presented a report
which contained little that was new,
reciting the events in Louisiana be
fore 18T4, and concluding that a main
source of trouble lay in insufficient ed
ucation not being provided for tbe
negro. Out of these reports grew
tbe Wheeler Compromise, from which
the complexion of tbe Louisiana Leg
islature -became Republican in the
Senate and Democratic in tbe House,
while Mr. Kellogg retained the office
of Governor.
I R HEW YSBK LETTER.
NiwYobk, June 2?, 1876.
the hot weather
has hardly Bet in yet, and tbe season
is delightfully propitious for sight see
ing in town. Most of tbe visitors to
tbe Centennial feel it best to see
something of New York as long as
they are East, and seem to find it
well worth seeing. When tbe not
unfrequent group of out of town peo
ple in severe traveling suits comes in
sight on Broadway, one is sure to re
mark under his breath "Centennial
folks ;" you can tell tbem a square off
The tall individual duster who is
ahead of the party, takes long steps
as if he were used to bill and dale,
while the women in the invariably
brown linen and big veils cling to
bim like bees oa a bough, and try to
see everything at once as be points it
out. 1 here is a family of this sort
on the forward end of every ferryboat
that crosses the river from tbe Jersey
side where tbe train comes in they
are all brown linen and satchels, and
the man stands over bis valise, and
as the boat swings off, exclaims en
thusiastically, as tbey behold the
Mecca of their pilgrimage "New
York !'' and a3 they gaze down tow
ard tie bay, or up the broad North
lover, bcactiful witn sails and ves
sels, men aud women alive with eager
ness, seeing the sights of a lifetime,
one envies tbo freshness and expan
sion which familiar sights create in tbe
new comers.
IOOD ADVICE TO TBAYELEKii.
It is an object to most people to
spend as little money as tbey can
tbis summer, and I proceed to give
them a few hints on the matter, which,
from OQ0 vjo knows tbe city and its
facilities, wjll be of service to stran
gers from tbe West- A 0.4 lb.e Grst
word I have to sy is, keep out of
tbe hotels, and don't hire backs from
pubi c stands. New York hotels are
neither so clean, so comfortable, or bo
reasonable in charges as Chicago
houses. A suite of rooms, with bath
attached, wbicb can be bad at a first
class Chicago botel, like the Grand
Pacific, for six dollars a day, will cost
double here, and inferior rooms id
proportion. Tbe low-price hotels tbat
advertise rooms for a dollar a day
are nasty b yond description, usually
in crowded neighborhoods, off Broad
way and all the sights, and not with
the best air procurable even in New
York. If you want to see tbe city
reasonably and comfortably, go to
one of the hotels on tbe European
plan, about Union Square, and get
upper rooms that is, on the fifth or
3ixth story. The elevators in these
bo ages make these rooms as easy to
reach as those on the parlor floor, aud
their airiness and eoolocea make them
preferred in summer by all who un
derstand hotel living. Small rooms,
as comfortable, and even luxurious as
any in tbe house, on these floors, are
a dollar and a dollar and a half a day,
without meals. Remember, io tbe
pity sys'.em of charges, a room is oev.
er Jet for Jess Lb an twenty-four boars;
and is charged for 'be same, whether
it is occupied for a nigbt only, pr a
night and a day. The restaurants in
all tbe hotels are abominably . high
priced, but you are not obliged to live
there. Between Fourteenth and
Eighth strtets, on Brodway, there
are several low-priced restaurants
wbjvj. fairly oooked food may be had,
and the genuine Vew Yorker does not I
disdain to walk far enough for his
meals lo give him an appetite for
tbem.
As for carriiifws, don't be pursnnr.
ed to take any vehicle t the depots
bot the street cars. The exprena
companies transfer coaches or those
belonging to botcl-t with tbe list 'lie
painted on them. These will lake
you to the hotels or other places, and
transport your baggage without
swindling. If you want a carr:ge
to sec the city, ask at the hotel to
have one sent f'om a livery stable,
and make your bargain beforehand
for so much an hour, including all the
btop you want, and keep your own
time. A neat coupe holding two per
sons and a child is furnished at decent
stables for $1.00 an hour for tbe
whole party, giving leave to stop as
often as you like. A larger carriage
can be bad for from $1.50 to $2.00 an
hour, taking as many persons as you
like. Tbe item of carriages to see
Central Park enters largely in'.o the
bills of visitors. Stewart's store and
tbe Park comprise tbe sights of the
city to tbo rustic mind. As for shop
ping tbe best place to get handsome
silks and laces is in the large stores.
but there arc small dealers between

visitors, all oonsoiro to lessen tbe at
tendance and ensmall the crowd.
Let me say to tbnse who are deterred,
by fear of extortion, that it is not nec
essary to keep awoy on that account
any longer. The refusal of the peo
ple to be swindled has brought land
lords to their senses, and rates are
fair now in Philadelphia. Then,
agaiu, tbe citizens bave done murh to
kill out tbe thieves. The best people
in Philadelphia, seeing tbat the pro
fessional lodging-house keepers and
landlords were injuring the Exposi
tion by their ' stand and deliver" pol
icy, threw open their houses to stran
gers, at reasonable rates, anil left the
robbers without victims. You can
get good, comfortable bord for from
$tl to $10 per week, with good fami
lies; and whoever pays more, does
foolishly, unless one cares more for
style than for comfort. At that rate
any one can afford to stay in Phila
delphia long enough to do the Expo
sition thoroughly.
And don't try to doit too quickly.
Take a month, "if possible, in New
York and Philadelphia ; and while
you arc here you ought to go to Bos
ton. The sail from New York to
Boston, up the Sound, is worth a
great deal more than it costs, and
everyone ought to see tbe metropolis
of New England. A good fcix weeks
can be profitably put in here ou this
coast this summer; and don't put it off
too long. In the fall, tbe dilatory
ones will lie here, and tbe city will be
crowded. Come now.
THE EFFECT OF
THE SHOW
N ESS.
oN 111 sl-
Tbe Philadelphia merchant expect
ed to do a great deal of business dur-.
ing the Centennial season, but be is
not doing it Tbe people are there
to see. not to buy. One firm made
extensive preparations for tbe flush
trade that was coming, and put off all
their payments till tbe Centennial
should give tbem means After tbe
show bad been in progress three
weeks, an examination showed that
their sales bad been less tban a half
of what was usual at that lime of
year. Wby should tbe stranger buy?
He will take borne some pleaaut
souvenirs, as a maiter of. course ;
but whoever expects a large trade, is
certain to be disappointed. Goods
can be bought as well at borne. The
visitors will get a notion of style in
the Eastern cities, but the goods will
be furnished by the dealers at home,
as usual.

Tbo enemy who bad begun the at

laded four hours when the enemy
retired out of sight at every point.
The casualties are as follows; Third
