FOR VICE PRESIDENT, CHESTER A. ARTHUR, OP SEW TORE. Republican State Ticket. SUPREME JUDGE, OP XOBTHAMPTOI COCSTT. iUDITOR GENERAL, JOUN A. L.K3ION, Or BLAIR COIHTT. Mr. Garfield, who was nominated on Tuesday by the Republican National Convention at Chicago was a delegate in the Convention, and was looked upon as a very "dark horse" but be came forward at a bouud on the SCth ballot and will be triumphantly elected Pres ident of the Republio next November. James A. Garfield was bora in Or ange, Cuyahoga County Ohio, Novem ber 19 1831, graduated at Williams College, Massachusetts, and has always been citizen of bis native Mate. At an early age be became a mem ber of the Church of Pisciples, and was a local preacher of some note when at borne. lie was a teacher in an in stitution of learning' in Ohio ; became general in the volunteer service against rebellion and from the position .of a general was elected to Congress where be has distinguished himself as an able champion of the system of gov ernment that triumphed over slavery and rebellion. Great enthusiasm prevailed in te Chicago Convention at times. m The rulings of Judge Junkin in such cases as were carried up to the Supreme Court have all been affirmed. A New Jersey man died, as other men die, and will continue to die, but his will is not as the will of other people, for it provides for a costly monument, and sets apart a fund of ten thousand dollars, which shall be used in keeping up a brass baud, to play at the annual anniversary of his death. They must assemble every year at his grave, on the date of his death, and also on every legal holi day, and 'play." The Democratic Matiuual Conven tion will meet at Cincinnati cn . the 22nd of this month. The probability is that the Convention will be a abort one, for as to platform there is no need of long work ; they can take several of the old Contederace planks, and a few of the planks that the progress of events have developed, throw tbem together and the work will be done. As to rules, tbe brigadiers will supply them with an abundance. With all things thus at band ready, they can make short work. This is evidently not going to bo a good year for independent parties. A week or two ago the Ohio Green backers held a convention at Colum bus, which was attended by less than a scorce of delegates, and since then the Illinois Prohibitionists have had a meeting at Springfield, the muster roil at which showed a total of thir teen names. The in tires t in the struggle between the two great par ties will be too intense to leave any room for siile-tshows Smth. .Imtri- can. Those who are opposed to elevated railroads say that in addition o the incessant noise, smoke, and the de preciation of property caused by elevated railways, a new cause of complaint has been found against them. It is now thought that an ex planation of the fall of two houses in New York the other day may be found in the vibration of the walls, caused by the incessant passage of elevated railroad trains near the walls and foundations. Cracks are show-' ing themselves all over the city, due to tbe same disintegrating force. Democratic leaders have been pre dicting that the Chicago Republican National Convention will split as did the Democratic National 'Jonvention at Charleston in IS GO. They do not stop to Me that the Democracy split on the question of Slavery in the Terri tory, and not upon men or preference for men. The only question that could have divided the Republican Chicago convention was that of tbe utiit rule, and that wis satisfactorily settled in favor of Congressional dis trict representation. Tbe Convention also put itself on tbe record before go ing to a ballot, to support the nominee of the Convention. Only three votes were'east sgaiust the proposal to support tbe nominee whoever he might be, and tbe three delegates who so voted were from West Virginia. As exchange tells the following: Somebody shot and killed an alliga tor down at Jacksonville the other day. In its stomach was found a briikba well preserved. This re minds us of why Florida was a doubt ful State in the last Presidential elec tion. The story goes that the re turns of a precinct giving Hayes 200 majority were started to the county 6eat in the care of a colored man. Tbe Democrats, knowing the vote was close, chased him into a swamp, and in his eagerness to prevent them from getting the return sheet away from him he swallowed it Then an alligator swallowed him and disap peared in the swamp, so the State Supreme Court decided that Florida vvent for Tilden. "There are two districts in France, year the month of the Rhone, where, according to Abbe Petitot, all the in habitants stammer, there being about J 5,000 of tbem. The Abbe ascribes this to long-continued intermarriage of stammerers, and a consequent degener acy f jhe organ of speech" Republican National Convention. The Republican National Conven tion met at Chicago last Wednesday, to nominate a cauiii.late for the Pres idency and Vice Prei.id;ncy, Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, was elected president of the convention, and coniiuitiees were appoiuteJ to con sider the various questions that agi tated the delegates, and the people whom the delegates represented. The unit rule was a question that had raised great interest in a number of the States. It was said by many that the nuit rule was the medium by which certain men wished to rule the nomination. It was of no avail that they protested against such a con struction being put upon their -motives when they talked in favor of their preference for the Presidency. The committee in charge of the ques tion decided that the Congressional districts in States shall be beard by their respective delegates, thus dis posing of the unit rule question. There were other questions before the respective committees, such as the question of credentials, contest ed seats, rules to govern the conven tion, which consumed the time of the convention from Wednesday till Sat urday night On Saturday night the following platform was adopted. Read it THE r-LATFORM. The Republican jwrty, in Nati nial Convention assembled, a the eud of twenty years since the Federal Gov ernment was first committed to its charge, submits to the ieople of the United States this brief rejort of its administration. It suppressed rebel lion, which had armed nearly a mil lion of men to subvert the national authority. It reconstructed the Union of the States with freedom instead of slavery as its corner stone. It transformed 4.000.000 human beings from likeness of things to the rank of citizens. It relieved Congress from the infamous work of hunting fugi tive slaves, and cliarged it to see that slavery does not exist It has raised the value of our paper currency from 38 per cent to the par of gold. It has restored ujKin a solid basis pay ment in coin for all the national ob ligations, and has given us a currency absolutely good and equal in every part of our extended country. It has lifted the credit of the nation from a point from where 6 per cent bonds sold at 86 to that where 4 per cent bonds are eagerly sought at a premium. Under its administration railways have increased from 31,000 miles in 18G0 to more than 82,000 miles in 1879; our foreign trade has increased from 700,000,000 to 1, 1.30.000.000 in the &ame time, and our exports, which were $20,000,000 less than our imports in 1800, were ! ?2ti4.000,000 more fnan our imports in 1875). Without resorting to loans it h.is, since the v:tr Ciosed, defrayed the ordinary expenses of government besides the accruing interest on the pnoiu debt uu.l (Li-in-n-seil annn.iliy luors than y 30.000. 0bHI for soldiers' pt lisions. It bus paid 5ShS.HM,'r:H) of the public debt and by re funding the baiaiu-e at lower rates, has re duce 1 the annu.d interest charge from nearly 15,000,000 to It ss than 8,5)00,000. All the imlnstii. s of tlie country have revived, labor is in de mand, wages have increased, and throughout the entire country there is evidence of a coming prosjerity greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon this record the Republican party asks for the continued confi dence and support of the iieoj'le, and this conventii u submits for ttieir ap proval the following statements of thu principles and purposes which wili continue to guide and inspire its eff rts. first. We affirm that the work of the last twenty-one years has been such as to commend itse.f to the favor of the nation ; that the fruits of the costly victory which we have achieved through immense difficulties should be preserved ; that tho peace regained should be cherished; that the dissevered Union, now happily restored, should be jerpetuated ; that the liberty secured to this gen eration should be transmitted undi minished to future generations ; that the order established and the credit acquired should never Iks impaired ; that the pensions promised should 1 extinguished by the full payment of every dollar thereof ; that tbe reviv ing industries should be further pro moted, and that the commerce al ready so great should be steadily en couraged. Second. The Constitution of the United States is a supreme law, and not a mere contract ; out of confed erated States it made a sovereign nation ; some powers are denied to the nation v.hile others are denied to the States, but the boundary between tho powers delegated and those re set ved is to be determined by the nationjl and not by the State tribu nals. Third. The work of popular edu cation is left to the care of the sev eral States, but it is the duty of the National Government to aid that work to the extent of 'its Constitu tional duty. The intelligence ot the nation is but the aggregate of the intelligence of the several States, and the destiny of the nation must not be guided by the genius of any one State, but by the average genius of all. Fourth The Constitution wisely forbids Congress to make any law res)octing an establishment of reli gion ; but it is idle to hope that the nation cin le protected against the influence of sectarianism while each State is exposed to its diminution. We therefore recommend that the Constitution be so allien le i as to l:-.y the same prohibition nv n the Legis Utiueof each State, and to forbid the appropriation of public funds to the support of sectarian m-hoods. Fifth We affirm the le"ief avow ed in 187G that the duties levied for the purpose of revenue shou'd so dis criminate as to favor American labor : that no further grant of the public domain should be mado to any rail way or other corporation ; that sla very having perished in the State, its twin barbarity polygamy must die in the Territories ; that everywhere the protection accorded to citizens of American birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption, and that we esteem it the duty of vx)ngress to ueveiope and improve cor water courses and harbors, bat insist that further subsidies to pri vate pet-sons or corporations mnsfc cease; that the obligators of the Republic to the tui who preserved its integrity in the hour of battle are undiminished by the lapse of fifteen years since their final victory. To do them perpetual honor is and shall forever be the grateful privilege and sacred duty of the American people Sixth. Since tbe authority to regu late immigration and intercourse be tween the United States and foreign nations rests with tbe Congress or with the United States and its treaty-making power, tbe Republican parly, regarding tbe unrestricted immigration of Chi nese as an evil of great magnitude, in voke the exercise of those powers to restrain and limit that immigration by the enactment of such just, humane and reasonable provisions as will pro duce that result. Seventh. That tbe purity and patri otism which characterised the earlier career of Rutherford B. Hayes in peace and war, and which guided tbe tbonghts ot our immediate predecessors to bitu for a candidate, have continued to in spire him in bis career as Chiof Exec utive, and that history will accord to bis administration tbe honors which are due to an efficient, just and courteous discbarge of the pubhe business, aud will honor his interpositions between tbe people and proposed partizan law. Eighth. We charge upon the Demo aratio party the habitual sacrifice of patriotism and justice to a supreme and iusatiable lust of offioe and patron age ; that, to obtain possession of the National aud State Governments and the coutrol of place and position they have obstructed all effort to promote tbe purity and to conserve the freedom of suffrage, and have devised fraudu lent certifications and returns ; have labored to unseat lawfully-elected mem bess of Coagresa to secure at all hai ardthe vote of a majority of the States in tbe House of Representatives ; have endeavored to occupy by force and fraud the places of trust given toothers by tbe people of Maine and rescued by tbe courage in action of Maine's pa triotic sons ; have by methods vicious in principle and tyrannical in practice attached partisan legislation to bills, upon whose passage the very move ments of government depend ; have crushed tbe rights of individuals ; have ad oca ted tbe principle and sought the favor of rebellion against the nation, and bave endeavored to obliterate the sacred memories of the war and to overcome its inestimable, valuable re sults of nationality, personal freedom aud individual equality. The equal, steady and complete enforcement of laws and tbe protection of all our citi zens in tbe enjoyment of all privileges and communities guaranteed by tbe Constitution are the first duties of a nation. The dangers of a solid South ean only be averted by a faithful per formance of every promise wbicb tbe nation has made to the citizens. Tbe execution of tbe laws and the punish ment of all those who violate tbem are tbe ouiy safe methods by wbicb an en during peace can be secured and gen uine prosperity established throughout the South Whatever promises tbe uation makes the nation must perform, aud the nation caooot with safety rele gate this duty to the States. The solid South must be divided by the peaceful agencies of the Dai lot, and all opinions must there find free expression, and to this end the honest voter must be pro tected against terrorism, violence or fraud ; aud we affirm it to be tbe duty and the purpote of tbe Republican party to nse every legitimate means to restore all the States of this Union to tbe most perte.it harmony that may be practicable, and we submit to tbe prac tical, sensible people of tbe United States to say whether it would not be dangerous to the dearest interests of our country at this time to surrender tbe administration of tbe National Gov ernment to a party wbicb seeks to over throw tbe existing policy under which we are so prosperous, and thus bring distrust and confusion where there is now order, confidence and bope.

At that time the prospect was that the winter wheat yield would be enor mous tbe coming season ; but since then the whole situation has been changed, and it is now believed that the crop, so far from being abundant, will fa'.l short of even the general average. It is asserted, in fact, that more than one-half of the crop has failed in all the Western States. In Kansas, for instance, the wheat over a large portion of the State has been almost entirely destroyed. Iowa re ports that the winter planting is an utter failure, and tbe spring outlook far from gotjd. The reports from Illinois are fair. In Minnesota near ly one-half of the spring wheat has been sown, but the acreage has not increased. Missouri shows a better condition of affairs than last spring in regard to winter wheat, and ex hibits an acreage increase of nearly 30 per cent Nebraska has planted nearly 20 per cent more spring wheat this season than it did List year, and Dakota makes an equally favorable report The next few weeks will probably change the estimates, so far at least as the spi ing planting is con cerned. According to the best in formation on the subject however, there is reason to fear that the win ter crop will be a short one." Oxe day last week a man at Fort Wayne, Ind., employed a young man to lay some carpets. He was a hand some young man, with a romantic cast of mind not at all in harmony with earpetlaying. He met the daugh ter of the house, who also had a ro mantic streak and an admiration for handsome young men, which, it 6ecmed, was as likely to absorb a carpet-layer as any one else. She fell awfully in love with the carpet layer we are speaking of or, rather, she believed she had done so. He fell just as awfully in love with her, and, leing very romantic, she didn't take the trouble to inquire anything about the carpet layer. He was just too beautiful for anything, and so romantic, and that was all that was required to make a good husband. The young woman agreed to marry him almost on sight She did not even say anything to her father about it fearing that he might not be will ing, and thus frustrate her romantic little schemes for an elopement She had her tender young heart so set upon sliding down a rope from a back window that she couldn't bear to think of being disappointed. WelL of course, she had her own romantic way about it; the programme was carried out in a charmingly romantic fashion and the carpet-layer and the young woman got away to Indian apolis and were married before the situation of afT.tirs was susiected. The young woman concluded it was just lovely. Three days after that there was another elopement to which the romantic young woman was not a party. 1 ler husband gathered up all her jewelry and what little money she had and went away to find an other romantic girl to elope. The young wife has gone back to her papa and very likely in a week will be making arrangements to fall into the clutches of another good-looking carpet-layer. Ever so many girls grow up that way.

Twiee in my experience as a miner in California bave I been bound in by im passable barriers of snow on tbe foot hills of tbe Sierra Nevada. Tbe first time 1 bad a single companion. We bad been mining in an isolated but rich gulch wbere we had constructed a rude cabin. We knew at tbat time nothing of tbe great snow-storms of tbe Sierra, so we bad neglected to lay in provisions or fuel, and up to tbis time bad pro cured wood from tbe scattering pine trees on the mountain sides, but on rising one morning we found at least two feet of snow fallen. It continued al! day long, and wben we rose next morning we found our tne little win dow darkened. We managed to make a hole tbrongb a corner of tbe roof of our cabin, wben down came a wagon load of snow and in came a flood of light. We succeeded in shoveling away tbe snow from the roof and out of our cabin, but the snow kept ou coming down all day, and on tbe arri val of tbe next day we were again in darkness, and again we toiled for light. During this day tbe s'orin abated, but the suow had fallen to a depth of more than ten feet, and we were prisoners. llere for three weary weeks we were compelled to stay. We bad burned up every scrap of furniture in our cabiu except tbe long boaids on tbe bottom of our bunka. Even tbe chinking and clapboards on tbe inside of our cabin, and tbe bandies of our shovels and tools were consumed. Our meat had been gone inoie than a week, and we bad eateu all our beans and were entirely destitute. It had snowed every day a tittle, so as to keep tbe snow soft oa top, and it was impossible to walk through it, or in any way change our location or situation. We could see nothing before us but death, either from cold or starvation. Each looked upon tbe other with sus picion ; eavb thought tbe other would take bis life if be could without losing bis own. Tbis was our horrible condi tion, wben suddenly tbe hole above our beads was darkened, and we beard a voice say, "Is there anybody down there ?" A shout of joy and surprise was tbe response. 'Who are you, and how did you get here !" we asked." "1 am 'Snow-shoe Thompson.' I came here on soow shoes," he answered. " Help us out ; we are starving." In another minute Thompson was in our midst. He gave us some cheese and crackers, which we eagerly devour ed. He askeJ us if we bad any toots with which ho could make fot us each a pair of snow- shoes. We bad burned the bandies of all our tools, except hand-saw and a drawing-knife. He took these, however, and out of tbe long boards which composed tbe bot tom oi our Duos soou shaped tor us each a pair of snow-sboes. They were were about twelve feet long and four inches wide, shaped so a to turn up at the trout end, svinetbing like a sleigh runner ; pieces of leather were tacked across tbe center into which the trav eler's feet are slipped. After jou team how to travel with these, you find tbat the process is sim ilar to skating. To the best of my recollection, at my first essay I felt much as 1 should suppose a taad would feel on stilts. After a series of evolu tions tbat would puzzle a professional acrobat, I got fairly under way. I can give you no idea of tbe exhilaration produced by a wild, frenzied rush through the air, as it were, upon snow- sboes. 1 started down a slight slope of tbe mountain witb uo ambition to out run the wind, or "Professor Snow-sboes" either, I can assure you. It was glo rious, so I thought, as I sailed along at moderate speed, with no effort except to try to guide the machine with the aid of a long, slim pole which "Snow-shoes had loaned me, but wben I commenced going down a steep side of a mountain and shot forward like an arrow from tbe stronf? Dow ot an archer, it was no longer so glorious. Tbe velocity with which 1 traveled was marvelous 1 was unable to clearly distinguish objects wbicb I passed. An occasional pine tree sbot past me witb a up like a can non bill and made my brain whirl. Down 1 weut, taster and faster. 1 shot across a table-land or level spaee at a speed souiewl-at abated, then started up a slope of the mouutain, then 1 came to a sleep place and then my snow shoes stopped, but I went on bead foremost mto a snow bank, so deep that my feet seemed to be tbe ouly part of my person a was able to move. Indeed, 1 was so deeply buried in the snow that only my feet stuck out. 1 couidn t breathe or move, so tight was I wedged in. I exerted every effort, but it was utterly in vain, and 1 realized that death would ensue in a very few moments. 1 tried to call far help, but could not produce a sound. Wben all hope bad vanished, and 1 felt my brain reeling, some one began to tug at my feet and in another moment I was brought to the light agin. Old "Snow-sboes" bad followed me and got to me just in time to save my life for tbe second time. One hour later we were all safe in tbo camp. The Altoona Tribune furnishes tbe following sad item : " Starved to death in a freight car ! Such is the fate which on Tuesday a week befel a tramp wbo was taken out of a freight car near Altoona. The particulars were as fol lows : Local freight on that day backed a car off at Bridgeport, that it might be loaded with sand. It was a box car, and, as is frequently tbe case, was locked.
