Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...MAY 20, 1876. THE HOODLUM. People in San Francisco are much exercised about the hoodlum element in their midst; and the consideration of school matters caused our mind to revert to the hoodlum in our midst. It is one of the most disgraceful features in Western life—this same hoodlum feature; because there is nothing whatever about a hoodlum, look at him or her (for we claim they are of both sexes) from whatever standpoint you will, that is not simply and purely disgusting. The hoodlum male is the most prominent just now. Let us study the animal—for he scarcely deserves any other name. First, then, he is a hobbledeboy—neither man nor boy. He supposes he is a man, however, and acts his part pretty much as follows: The first thing he must make a point of is never to work, for this idiot considers a man a fool who works. Next he must have some hard-working, honest woman for a mother, to slave her life away to support him, and he must always have abuse ready for her, should she seek to persuade him to attempt the accomplishment of anything honorable. Then he must be an adept in the arts of lying, swearing, smoking, drinking and all manner of cheap cheating such as card sharping, etc., for these accomplishments are manly in his idea. Next he must have a pistol or a knife, and loaf around street corners, or thrust himself into doubtful company, where he is not wanted, and he is in his glory. Not an atom of civility or manly independence is there about this paragon of manhood. It is his pride to insult the weak and unprotected, to worship and fawn upon FRUIT, AND ALDER FACTORIES. Most of the orchards of California are unprofitable, says the Alta, and the production of fruit never will reach a satisfactory basis till we have numerous drying-houses, that is, if the opinion prevalent among fruit-growers is correct that sun-drying will soon be superceded for the purposes of the general market. Kiln-drying has a vast superiority in the capacity for hurrying up the work, as well as for the cleanliness, appearance, flavor, uniformity and keeping qualities of the product. When orchardists are prepared for drying on an extensive scale, they can afford to spend their time and money on their trees, knowing that if the supply of fruit should exceed the demand for the table, there will still be a good market for all they can grow. Considerations of this kind have had a strong influence on the orchard business of the State, since the Alden business went into operation, and a large portion of the trees lately set out have been selected with special reference to drying, for which purpose the plum, prune, apricot, peach, white Muscat grape. Zante currant grape, seedless Sultana grape, raspberry and blackberry are preferred, about in the order named. Among apples, the Waxon and Smith's cider are most in favor at the Alden factories, and among pears the Bartlett, though apples and pears do not sell so well as other kinds previously mentioned. A large proportion of water in the fruit (adding to the expense of drying and a lack of decided flavor are equally objectionable. An Alden factory cannot be established with much profit unless it can rely on a supply of 400 tons of fresh fruit in a season, and counting 100 pounds as the average yield of a tree of good variety and properly cultivated, this will require 8000 trees in addition to those needed to supply fresh fruit. If each acre has 140 trees (18 feet apart of lying, swearing, smoking, drinking and all manner of cheap cheating such as card sharping, etc., for these accomplishments are manly in his idea. Next he must have a pistol or a knife, and loaf around street corners, or thrust himself into doubtful company, where he is not wanted, and he is in his glory. Not an atom of civility or manly independence is there about this paragon of manhood. It is his pride to insult the weak and unprotected, to worship and fawn upon the bully he fears, and to annoy every true man and insult every true woman by his presence. If he can possibly thrust himself into a decent assemblage and cause respectable people to go away and leave him to his so-called fun, he is happy. It never occurs to him that people avoid him through disgust rather than fear. Just as we step aside from a pool of filth, though we may be able to walk through it, so we leave the hoodlum when we might as easily make him leave us. The hoodlum has no aspirations that are decent, no qualities that are manly as he appears to us. We invite our young boys to study him, as decent people see him, and choose for themselves if they would rather be such a one or an honorable young man, a comfort to his parents and an honor to his name, steadily following the path of duty, with a good life and assured prosperity as his reward. The ultimate success of any youth who does his duty is beyond doubt. The county jail or penitentiary as certainly awaits the hoodlum. At some future day we will pay our respects to the "lady hoodlum." The Philadelphia Ledger, summing up the Blaine scandal, says: "So this calumny, like those against General Bristow, vanishes into nothing—a result which every decent American should receive with the highest satisfaction, at the same time that he regrets with deep humiliation that the scandalous license given to political malice and detraction should be allowed to compel an honorable man to dignify such baseless slander by elaborate contradiction and proof. These last mentioned phases of a far too common mode of discussing public men and affairs—the confident audacity with which unfounded charges and accusations are made against any man in public life, whenever a sinister purpose is to be served—the reckless freedom with which they are published broadcast over the world, as if they were so many demonstrated truths—are previously mentioned. A large proportion of water in the fruit (adding to the expense of drying and a lack of decided flavor are equally objectionable. An Alden factory cannot be established with much profit unless it can rely on a supply of 400 tons of fresh fruit in a season, and counting 100 pounds as the average yield of a tree of good variety and properly cultivated, this will require 8000 trees in addition to those needed to supply fresh fruit. If each acre has 140 trees (18 feet apart each way, as they are in many orchards) 54 acres would support the 5,000 trees. An orchard of 60,000 trees of varieties selected with special reference to drying has been set out near San Juan Bautista, and another of 11,000 near Folsom, and many others of less size elsewhere. The Anaheim Gazette publishes a letter from G. W. Dietzler, President of the Alden Fruit Drying Company, who says: I understand you have extensive vineyars of Mission grapes which sell for about $10 per ton. Now, if your people will graft the Muscat of Alexandria upon these Mission vines, I will agree to purchase the Muscat grapes at $20 per ton, delivered at our Alden Factory, which I would establish in or near the vineyards. Or, if they prefer, I would sell them the Alden apparatus, and take my pay in Alden raisins at 10 cents per pound. This offer would, we presume, be made to other places as well, as it suggests the great difference in value between the better and purer varieties of fruit. The White Muscat is worth twice as much per pound as the Mission grape for the general purposes of the market, but for raisins at least three times as much. The New York Herald very truthfully says: "One reason why we pay six per cent. for our money abroad is that we have fallen into the habit of universal slander. We degrade ourselves, defame our country, trifle with our credit, call upon the world to see what rascals and knaves we are, and then marvel that the world should take us at our word and charge us more for money than nations without a half of our resources. We shall strengthen our credit when we protect our self-respect." An Arizona Colony. Another illustration of the wrong of inducing immigration by false representation is the experience of the Cozzens Colony in Arizona. The first detachment of this colony left Boston on the 1st of March, and in due time reached their destination, the Valley of the Colorado Chihuahua, near the obviously mentioned.

We shall strengthen our credit when we protect our self-respect." A resident of Santa Monica writing to the Los Angeles Herald, gives vent to his extreme disgust—or malice. The citizens of the "Village by the Sea" he describes as "poor, flea-bitten, water-polished, poverty-struck chaps,"—a string of adjectives which will probably result in said citizens making a peremptory demand on the correspondent to "pull down his vest." The drinking water he describes as being pestilential and unfit for use; and, as he applies the name of "valley fan" to the whisky dispensed by Jones' gin-mills, it will be seen that he is in a particularly bad fix—neither whisky nor water good enough for his delicate palate. But we suspect that this obscure correspondent, whose name is F. H. McGowan, merely desires to force himself into public notice through the columns of newspapers. Another illustration of the wrong of inducing immigration by false representation is the experience of the Cozzens Colony in Arizona. The first detachment of this colony left Boston on the 1st of March, and in due time reached their destination, the Valley of the Colorado Chiquito, near the San Francisco mountains, in Central Arizona. The first news we have from them is the following dispatch from Prescott, Arizona, dated May 13: "Forty-five of the Cozzens Boston Colony have arrived at the San Francisco Mountains. Many of them have abandoned that locality and have come here in search of employment. They are indignant, and say all the colonists are disappointed, and will advise their friends to stay at home and disregard the glowing accounts of Judge Cozzens and his agents. Our people regret that false statements have been made to induce so many to come here wholly unprepared for the hardships incident to a new country." The second detachment of the Colony arrived in New York from Boston, over two hundred strong, on May 2d, and started Westward next day. Those who have made the trip to Arizona will not envy them its hardships; and, more than that, they seem doomed to utter disappointment. The third detachment is to leave Boston on June 19th, unless they are wise enough to abandon the idea. Already thirty or forty men are pledged for it, and some of the wives and families of those who went first agreed to go. They had better stay at home. Arizona has valuable resources, and will some day be a great country. If the Fryer process for the reduction of refractory ores proves satisfactory, that will assure prosperity in Arizona at once; but this is a tremendous "if." Meantime, there is already too much labor in Arizona for the amount of capital there. If individuals immigrate thither, knowing what the country is and prepared for it, they may do well; but to induce colonies to go there blindly is a crime.—San Francisco Alt. An Arizona Colony.

This organization met at one of clock on Saturday afternoon at the rooms of the Supervisors, pursuant to call of the President. There were present: E. E. Hewitt, President; A. C. Chauvin, M. J. Newmark, F. Macchio, by A. E. Sepulveda, proxy; George Hinds, E. Polloreno, by A. E. Sepulveda, proxy; Thomas McClain, George H. Smith, Secretary. On motion, it was resolved that the President appoint one member for each Supervisor District to prepare and submit to the committee a list of delegates to the State Convention; and thereupon the President appointed the following committee: For the First District, M. J. Newmark; Second District, Geo. Hinds; Third District, T. McClain; Fourth District, (no member from that district being present.) A. C. Chauvin. The committee retired, and on returning recommended for the appointment to the State Convention the following gentlemen: F. A. MeDougal, A. C. Chauvin, T. Gates, A. E. Sepulveda, Wallace Woodworth, Asa Ellis, B. D. Wilson, T. A. Sanchez, Eugene Meyer, J. M. Bassett, Gen. J. R. McConnell, Geo. Hinds, J. W. Venable, F. Palomares, Isaac Cohen. On motion it was resolved that the report of the nominating committee be approved, and that the gentlemen above named be and are appointed delegates of this county to the Democratic State Convention, to be held at San Francisco on the 24th inst. On motion it was resolved that the delegates to the Democratic State Convention, to be held in San Francisco on the 24th are hereby requested to use all honorable means to procure the nomination of Hon. Frank Ganahl as one of the Presidential electors at the coming election. It was also resolved that the persons appointed as delegates to the State Convention are also appointed delegates to the District Convention to nominate a candidate for a Representative in Congress of the Fourth Congressional District at the ensuing election. BY TELEGRAPH. CHAIRMAN, May 16. The question pending before the South Carolina Disciple of the Episcopal Church for two years as to the admission of colored congregations was settled today by the relation of such application. A majority of the clergy favored the application, but it was rejected by the vote of the lay delegates. WASHINGTON, May 14. Among the current rumors is one that General McDowell is expected to resign his commission rather than take service in California which he is said to detest; that General Melggs would be appointed to the vacancy and Ingalls to the Quartermaster-Generalship. WASHINGTON, May 14. There is little change in the Republican state. Blaine continues to lead. He will probably so centure unless his assailants have better luck in their new effort to show that he goes good money from the Northern Pacific through comparatively worthless Arkansas bonds. He is now quite sure of 150 of the delegates already appointed. Morton is conceded only 60. Conkling's friends claim 80, sure, a d 55 more from Pennsylvania, when Hartranft withdraws, but don't show Cameron's bill of sale for it. Hayes' friends base some pretensions on his forty-four votes, which will most likely go to Blaine. Bristow, however, continues to hold unorganized popular support, though the politicians do not believe him to be formidable unless his friends effect a combination with somebody like Blaine. Bristow taking the second place. It is doubtful if the latter proves to have much voting strength in the convention. Otherwise, Conkling's friends are more confident now that he could carry New York, if he runs against Tibden, and that gives them more courage, but as the two-thirds rule will defeat Tibden, the New York Democrats will unite upon some other candidate, when Conkling's nomination would secure the latter's defeat by Republican disaffections. Another rumor is that Morton and Bristow's friends will combine at Cincinnati, and that all the other candidates are concentrating against Blaine. WASHINGTON, May 14. that an entrance could be readily obtained at any time when the vigilance of the officer was relaxed; and by the connection of a horse with the pipes mentioned the spirits could be run off to their destination under the wharf and there stopped. This might be done either with the conviction of the United States officers in charge or many occasions without their knowledge. It is probable that the examination of the distillery and the neighborhood will be completed today. SAN DIEGO, May 16. The commissioners appalled to fix the valuation of the land condemned for turning the San Diego river have summoned their staff and had damages at a little less than fifteen hundred dollars. As soon as the findings are approved at Washington, the work will be commenced probably about middle of June,and the entire work will be completed before another rainy season. SANTA BARBARA, May 16. At an anti-Chinese meeting held in this city last evening, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by those present who pledged themselves not to patronize any persons using capital as a means of making a livelihood; who gives a preference to Chinese labor over that of white. The meeting was not largely attended, and was addressed by Lawyer C Gray. Weather cold and foggy. INDIANAPOLIS, May 15. The National Independent Convention convenes in this city next Wednesday for the nomination of the national ticket. The names of Judge Davis, B. F. Butler, ex-Treasurer-spinner, and Senator Booth, of California, are prominently mentioned in connection with the nomination for Presidency. Representatives will be present from nearly every State in the Union. NEW ORLEANS, May 15. A Times special, dated Summit Mississippi, May 15 says: Information was received here last night of a row between negroes and whites at Laurel Hill, West Feliciana Parish, near the Mississippi line. On Friday night about 30 negroes went to a store of a white man; in that vicinity, and called him to the door; and riddled him with bullets. A posse from Bayou Sara went out Saturday for the body. The negroes would not give it up; and a It was also resolved that the delegates to the Democratic State Convention, to be held in San Francisco on the 24th, are hereby requested to use all honorable means to procure the nomination of Hon. Frank Ganahl as one of the Presidential electors at the coming election. It was also resolved that the persons appointed as delegates to the State Convention are also appointed delegates to the District Convention to nominate a candidate for a Representative in Congress of the Fourth Congressional District at the ensuing election. Also, resolved that the record of the Hon. P. D. Wigginton is eminently satisfactory to the Democracy of Los Angeles county that he has proven a faithful and elitist representative of this district, and therefore the delegates from this county are earnestly requested to urge and use all honorable means in their power to procure his nomination as a candidate for reelection. There being no further business before the Convention, on motion the Convention adjourned sine die. E. E. Hewitt, Pres't. Geo. H. Smith, Sec'y. The Fate of the Man Who Advertised. His name was Hippoflam; his uncle left him some money; he started in the grocery business. He had read in the paper that John J. Astor, A. E. Stewart, Daniel Pratt, John Smith, and others had once been poor, and had made their start by advertising; he believed it all, doughhead that he was, and he advertised four squares in the Torchlight six squares in the Badger and a half column in the Moonshine. When the people saw from the advertisement that Hippoflam had started into business with a fresh, large stock they rushed for his store; then his troubles began. He hired an extra clerk and a cash-boy. He could not find time to sit down on a candle-box, thrust his feet under the stove, and gossip about politics and the Louisiana question. Every day he had to write or telegraph for fresh goods, and when the goods came he had to open them and retail them out. As day after day went by people began to notice that Hippoflam was growing thin and pale; he looked careworn and harassed, as if driven; he kept advertising and people kept patronizing him; other grocers could get time to go off excursions, and sit down and play checkers and dominoes; but Hippoflam could not get an hour to himself, except time to sleep. By and by he had to open an account with yet another bank, got more clerks and cash-boys; and it came about that he kept a carriage, built a fine house, and was elected Mayor of the town. Of course a man couldn't go on in this way many years without breaking down in health, and the day came at last when Hippoflam had the dyspepsia, jaundice, heart disease, rheumatism, and other complaints; the shadow of death hung over him, while the grocers who hadn't advertised grew fat and portly and had doubled proves to have much voting strength in the convention. Otherwise, Conkling's friends are more confident now that he could carry New York, if he runs against Tilden, and that gives them more courage, but as the two-thirds rule will defeat Tilden, the New York Democrats will unite upon some other candidate, when Conkling's nomination would secure the latter's defeat by Republican disaffections. Another rumor is that Morton and Bristow's friends will combine at Cincinnati, and that all the other candidates are concentrating against Blaine. WASHINGTON, May 14. Some Western and Southern Democrats are becoming alarmed by the prospect of a split in the Democracy over the advent of Tilden for the Presidential nomination, the recent Express editorial being accepted as an evidence that Tilden's opponents mean deadly opposition. There is an effort to quiet the alarm by urging that the Express only represents the personalism of John Kelly and Augustus Schell. It fails to give satisfaction because those gentlemen are recognized as sincere, honest party men, unlikely to be controlled by mere personality, any more than Erastus Brooks, the editor of the Express. Meantime, the silence of Tilden's organs indicates an anxiety to avoid a controversy that would intensify the disarmy, the dangerous extent of which is recognized. On the other hand, Tilden is the only Democratic candidate, whose strength seeming in the country. The Davis movement has dropped out of sight, to be resurrected possibly at St. Louis. Hancock begins to be talked of, but not much among the machine managers. Neither Bayard nor Thurman grows, apparently, while Hendricks, who was here this week, privately admits himself out of the fight and regrets that the Democracy are not as strong in Indiana as when Congress met. In fact, his friends intimate that he don't want the nomination, as he considers a Democratic victory very countable. But the division in New York adverse to Tilden is now so pronounced that it is a question whether the latter can secure even theubernatorial renomination, which it was understood his friends expected to make the condition of his withdrawal at St. Louis. WASHINGTON, May 14. There is little doubt that Secretary Rollins did make the charge against Blaine of corrupt connection with the $61,000 Kansas bond transaction. It is said that Rollins will admit before the Investigating Committee that he made such an insinuation to director Harrison, but will explain it by saying that he used Blaine's name only in hopes that, by so doing, he could arrest and prevent an investigation that was inconvenient. Director James A. Wilson, who has been summoned here as a witness, says that he knows nothing about this transaction and is indignant at being brought to testify; that nothing ever came to his knowledge justifying the story against Blaine in this matter. PHLALEPPIA, May 15. The number of visitors at the Centennial today was greater than any NEW ORLEANS, May 15. A Times special, dated Summit, Mississippi, May 15, says: Information was received here last night of a row between negroes and whites at Laurel Hill, West Feliciana Parish, near the Mississippi line. On Friday night about 30 negroes went to a store of a white man, in that vilefly, and called him to the door, and riddled him with bullets. A posse from Bayou Sara went out Saturday for the body. The negroes would not give it up, and a light ensued, and three negroes were killed, and two white men are missing. The negroes are gathered eleven hundred strong. They are said to be under arms. The whites are going down from neighbouring counties in Mississippi, and a serious fight is expected. Governor A. Tooline received the following dispatch from Dr. Kaufmann, Sheriff of East Feliciana parish, dated Bayou Sara: "In reply to your telegram I have to say that seventeen colored men are killed and wounded on the lime of Mississippi and Louisiana. A large number of armed white men are approaching this town. I cannot summon and secure a posse capitatus for the support of the civil authority and the suppression of riots, and the prevention of further bloodshed. Nothing but the military authority will keep the peace. Therefore, I respectfully request that the military be placed at my disposal." These dispatches have been laid before Gen. Aguire, commanding the department who referred them to Washington. SAN BERNARDINO, May 17. We have news this morning of a murder having been committed at Haul's Camp last evening. No authenticity news has been received yet, only through the murderer himself who came to town this morning with another man, and gave himself up to the Sheriff. The murderer's name is John Gates, and his victim, D. E. Crevecer. Gates claims that Crevecer had accused him of stealing a cow, and otherwise slandering him. They met and had some words, and Crevecer attempted to draw a weapon whereupon Gates drew his pistol and fired shot shots, killing him instantly. Gates is said to be a quiet and industrious young man; much sympathy is felt for him. Crevecer has a large family—a wife and six children, and was a hard worker. The Coroner's Jury are now holding an inquiry over Crevecer's body. SAN JOSE, May 18. About 11 o'clock last night one of the sadhest affairs in the way of suicide that has ever occurred in this city took place at the residence of N. H. A. Mason, the victim being Louis Summered-Bascom, the youngest son of L. H. Bascom, of Santa Cara. Bascom had been away from the city for nearly two years, and returned but a short time since. Among his acquaintances was Ms. Usua Mason, aged about fifteen years, the daughter of the gentleman at whose house she tragically occurred. Previous to his departure with the nomination for President was received here last night at a row between negroes and whites at Laurel Hill, West Feliciana Parish, near the Mississippi line. On Friday night about 30 negroes went to a store of a white man, in that vilefly,and called him to the door,riddled him with bullets.A posse from Bayou Sara went out Saturday for the body.The negroes would not give it up,and a light ensued,and three negroes were killed,and two white men are missing.The negroes are gathered eleven hundred strong.They are said to be under arms.The whites are going down from neighbouring counties in Mississippi,and a serious fight is expected.

By and by he had to open an account with yet another bank, got more clerks and cash-boys; and it came about that he kept a carriage, built a fine house, and was elected Mayor of the town. Of course a man couldn't go on in this way many years without breaking down in health, and the day came at last when Hippopham had the dyspepsia, jaundice, heart disease, rheumatism, and other complaints; the shadow of death hung over him, while the grocers who hadn't advertised grew fat and portly and had double chins on them. They had time to go fishing, were never tired of looking over their bank account, and it wasn't once a year that they had to order anything more than a box of herring. Broken down in health, feeling mad at the world, and finding himself the victim of newspapers. Hippopham one day drew all his money out of the bank, passed it over to a lunatic asylum, set his store on fire, blew up his house, and hanged himself to a peach tree in the back yard. The coroner cut him down, the jury sat on him and the verdict was: "Advertising killed him, and we hereby warn all business men to let his fate be an example against patronizing newspapers." A young man from one of the suburban districts was in one of our tailor shops getting measured for a vest the other afternoon. "Married or unmarried?" queried the merchant after taking down the number. "Unmarried," said the young man with a blush. "Inside pocket on the left hand side then," observed the tailor, as if to himself, making a memorandum to that effect. After a moment's pause the young man from the suburbs was prompted to ask: "What difference does my being married or unmarried make with the inside pocket of the vest?" "Ah, my dear sir," observed the tailor with a bland smile, "all the difference possible, as you must see. Being unmarried, you want the pocket on the left side, so as to bring the young lady's picture next to your heart." "But don't the married man want his wife's picture next to his heart?" queried the anxious youth. "Possibly there is an instance of that kind," said the tailor arching his eyebrows, "but I never heard of it."

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16. New developments continue to be made by the revenue agents and workers now engaged in investigating the Bay View distillery, and the officials will probably make out a very strong case against the concern. In addition to the pipes, which have been already discovered leading from the spirit tubes in the distillery underneath Reanier wharf, evidence has been obtained which goes to show that the cistern room of the distillery has been habitually tampered with. This room is under control of a revenue official at all times and is kept locked, and neither employees or proprietors of the distillery have any right to enter or touch the spills stored there except under his supervision.

The Herald's Washington correspondent says that prominent Louisians predict a terrible war of races in West Feliciana. The negroes are 4,000 strong, the whites only 1,500. The administration is alarmed for the present state of affairs. A Southern Republican Congressman to-night said that the only remedy for the trouble is to divide the whites and give them power, when the negroes are divided also. Willis, chairman of the sub-committee which visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard, is prepared to show by figures that the navy yard at League Island will cost sixty millions when completed.

The Republican Convention of the First District to-day nominated Robie the name of William Allen, of Ohio, for the Presidency. The tenth directs that the delegates-at-large to the St. Louis Convention be requested to support William Allen for President. The reading of the minority report was followed by considerable confusion. Several speeches were made for and against its adoption. Finally, under the previous question, the vote was taken upon the report of the minority as a substitute for the majority report, and it was adopted by a vote of 286 to 300. Much confusion followed, and several motions were made to adjourn, but they were voted down. The report was then adopted by a vote of 397 to 288 many deliberate having left the hall. The Convention then balloted for State officials with the following result: Secretary of State; Wm. Bell; of Flicking county; by McLainion; Judges of the Supreme Court, W. K. Finch; of Perry county; Member of the Board of Public Works, H. P. Chonch, of Butler county. After electing alternates to the Convention at 10:40 p.m., adjourned since die. NEW YORK, May 17. The Herald's editorial has the following on Governor Allen: "He verifies that proverb of Solomon that 'though you bray a fool in a mortar yet will not his foolishness depart from him.' The result destroys all the chances Thurman ever had of being strongly supported at St. Louis by his own state. This inflation victory does not help Hayes, as if the Democrats had behaved reasonably, there would have been some possibility of the Democrats carrying the State. Now, however, any Republican can carry it, and Hayes is not indispensable." The Time's special admits that though the New Jersey Republican delegation is unpledged, it has a preference for Blaire. The majority of those from Tennessee are for Morton; from Alabama; Bristow. The World's editorial is exceedingly bitter against the local politicians of Cincinnati, whereby the Convention has decided in favor of Allen, who was last year remitted by default to private life. The Republicans will be strongly tempted by yesterday's events to make a determined effort at swelling their already large majority at the October election in Ohio by nominating Hayes for the Presidential conflict in November.

The following is an account of the closing scenes of the Fifth Avenue Hotel Conference: Charles Francis Adams, Jr., being loudly called upon, made a brief speech in favor of reform and honesty, and concluded by saying that among the Presidential candidates there is one whose name stands unblemished before the country to-day, and by nominating him the Republican party will gain the vote of every honest man and that man is Secretary Bristow. [Appause.] The good old memories of the war are dying out, and people cannot be frightened into supporting any political party. There is also one man skilled in political life, a gentleman of well known character, Governor Tilden, whom, if they nominate, I will support as the next best thing to Bristow. [Cheers.] If good men are not nominated by either party then we will put forth a candidate of our own. Thank heaven there is no hard cider campaign in this centennial year. I only ask that I shall stand up and vote and be content. A number of other noted speakers in full sympathy with the address, delivered brief speeches.

After a brief address from the presiding officer, the reports of the Committee on Resolutions were read. The Committee made two reports, the minority being adopted. The third resolution denounces the Republican scheme of resumption as intended to operate through an increase of the bonded debt and by a sudden and enormous contraction of the currency to double the burden of taxation, rob debtors of their property, paralyze the productive and commercial industries, cast the laborers out of employment and fill the land with want and misery for the wicked purpose of doubling the value of the money securities, and subjugating the mass of the people to the imperious away of a money oligarchy. In the ninth resolution the Democracy of Ohio presents to the Democracy of the other States of the Republic CAULIFLOWER—Soak the head two hours in cold salted water, and boil till tender in plenty of water.
