Hello, there; Judge Fobaber! General Kk.xtkdt i in Cincinnati on, your ground and he is said to be a "hustler" from Uustlervllle. Mast of the Congressmen-elect are in Washington with their -spurn on, and are reported to be anxious to wado right into statesmanship in an extra session. Tun retiring President will attend the Inauguration ball. The good-natured Mr. AKTiiun will dance into private life.

This is better than to go out in a pet. There is a rumor out that Mr. Bataud has docllned tho State, portfolio. We understand, however, that there are other gentlemen who can be urged to accept. TfK Kopubllcan press affected much aaroasui as to Mr.

Hcuriix durinjr tho campaign. It Is notable, however, that Mr. tfrnunz didn't have to swing his heels on the front steps when he called on the President-elect. Somk of the wise men who are so kindly urrnnirlng things for tho Incoming President prslt in the opinion that Ohio de-Kerves nothing; nnd should get nothing. Still, It will hardly be regarded as the proper thing to Ohio Postmasters, lieve-ii no Collectors, District Attorneys.

The report of the committee to inVestl-pat-j tho conduct of Marshal IT Wright at the October election will be made to tho House of Representatives on Monday. It will embrace a resolution requesting the President to remove Wmnirr, and to the Attorne7-Ooneral to Institute proceedings to recover tho money Illegally paid out by him, and to institute criminal proceedings. Mr. Cleveland -wrote to Mr.

Lamar on Weduosday of last week, inviting him to' Albuny, and the letter must have reached Washington on Thursday." It appears, howevor, that Mr. IjAMAh did not open his mail till Sunday, and was consequently somewhat late in responding to the call. This is of course not an pie of the expedition he will cultivate should he be appointed Postniaater-General. A r.isTiNonsHKD of Masons will gather In Dexter Hall to-night for an annual banquet and for the concluding ceremonies of an annual reunion which for two days has neon in progresu in Robin-Hon's Opera-house. "I Representative Scottish Rite Masons from every quarter of the State are in attendance upon this reunion, and most of them will be participants in to-night's festivities.

Several men who have been honored wltn the aoorets of the 33d degree, the dosideratum of all ambitious Masons, will be conspicuous, to-night in Dextor Hall. A Western Rkskrvk cheese-headed liar says "the Cincinnati Enquirer falls lustily to supporting the bill which would take the administration of municipal affairs out of the hands of the people at Columbus, and hand it over to a Democratic oligarchy." The Esqcirkr has stated the provisions of the bill to re- organise the government of Columbus, and has pointed out the fact that the Republicans who show the greatest opposition to it are the men who are usually rampant to reorganize Democrats out of power when they havo the opportunity. The Enquirer has no bias as to the Columbus bill, but can hot help observing that it seems to have grown in popular as well as Legislative favor as its provisions have oome to be understood. Hanna aad Hay. One of the problems in Ohio politics mis year is to find a man to head the Republican ticket who has money to spend In thecampaign, and who is not nnknown to political fame a successor, in short, to Crablk Fostrr.

None of the candidate so far prominently named combine these qualifications. Forakkr, Kennedy, Bsattt and Nash have all disported themselves in political campaigns long enough to give them the requisite notoriety, but they are not as well fortified In their pockets, probably, as they are In their Bkattt, while he has been "kicking" against any symptoms of liberal sentiment in the Republican party, and against the logic of events generally, has been shrewdly accumulating money in the banking and real estate business, and is no doubt the wealthiest man in the quartet; but he would probably not feel Justified in making an investment of 130,000 or MO.000 in a single cam- paign, even in his seal to revive a dead ,) Marcus A. Hanna, or Cleveland, bos been suggested lately, with more than ordinary prominence, to nil the aching void. Mr. Hanna Is a gentleman of dignity; is -well known to the people; has ample means to meet the legitimate as well as the Illegitimate expenses of a canvass; is understood to be reasonably ambitious aud if elected to' the Governor's office would probably thake as respectable a 'practicable Governor as any man yet named among the Republicans for tho emoe.

He Is a political quantity not to be frivolously dismissed The sudden illumination of the political heavens by Mr. II ansa Is declared to be the reason lor the meteoric flight of ColonelJoffN rrT athwart the Guborna-torlaky, Cleveland Lcadtr has an implacable hatred for llr. IIaxxa, who Is the controlling spirit of the XteruUl and cultivates the Ha boom. Hay is re-t Ve'rved, and permits bis friends to talk about the Chief Executive office of Ohio being too lnsfacnlflcant for a man of his caliber but of course that is mere claptrap. To be Governor Of Ohio Is an bonof lo which manyof -Ohio's moat brilliant sons aspired and John ttaT.

Itisclalaiea for llAr-tha he ha the advantage over 11 anna in that he'has mare- xonyLthan, 'Hanna boa; but the main point Is in the disposition to "put np.u Probably either one could meet the extravagant views of money as a missionary agent In politics established under the Foster regime. Hat Itee-iad the most experience In official life but that was so long ago that It is'now a mere roininisoence. Hat 'has been a practical newspaper man but IIanna is a managing and con trolling journalist. IIanna has never written poetry.

Even the sweet singing of the birds and the gay gambols of the lambs In the merry snrinsr-tlme have not inspired him to rhyme. Colonel Hat, admits that he wrote the Pike County ballads, and he makes the ease worse by affecting to be ashamed of them. He says they have hung to him "like a tin kettle tied to a dog's tail." There appears to be about him an air of aristocracy that becomes heavy in the presence of "Little Breeches," a poem wtiicb did more to embalm him in the public mind ban any thing else he has ever written, or any act he has ever performed. IIanna has never written a book; or. If he has, it has never bod circulation enough to hurt Hay is charged with being the author of "The Breadwinners," a deeply interesting story, ex ceedingly well written, but conveying a snobbish assumption of the mental.

moral and DoliticaK superiority of the children of fortune, wlio do nothing for mankind but clip their coupons and col lect their rents. Hat may not have written "The Bread-Winners," but the impression that he did is deep enough to make a powerful Impression iri the campaign. If he Is not the author, the guilty man is not likely to come forward, make iL. a coniession ana save mm irom vu political gallows. On the whole, Hanna seems to be ahead of HoorajHor Hanna.

It is a rare circumstance that enter prises of considerable magnitude recover so soon, and with so little that Is detrimental to their successful progression from the loss by death of their acknowl edged head and founder, as baa the Ger man opera company of which the late Dr. Damrosch was the leading sqlrit and inspiration. One of the prcmlnont tmlts in the character of the dead leader was bis stern adherence to principle, and his last wish, as expressed, was tlint nis oeatn migut not do me means of ureventine the fulfillment of entmaements here and in Chicago, in the existent extremity the eyes of all np- -1 holders of opera were turned upon the young man who had assumed his father's tank. With a manifestation of skill and nmlity unparalleled in one so young, he took up the baton and directed to a suc cessful ooncluxion "IMo Walkure," the most difficult and trying of all composi lions for the stage. He displayed cool- news and tnct and intelligence that show how closely and earnestly he had followed his father's teachings.

In this city there are no present indications mat expert -a mental performances will be given. The operas selected for. presentation have become iixed in the minds of the artists. It is rather significant that Cincinnati and Chi caro are the onlj- two Western cities thus invited to aid In unfolding the dawn of a new musical era. The tTtlca Obaerrrr smartly replies to a correspondent's suggestion of Theodorh RoosKVftT for Governor of New lork that, "inasmuch as Mr.

Roosevelt was born in 1858, and the Rtate Constitution decreca that no man under thirty years of age shall be eligible to the Governorship, it is not likely that he will run this fall." All right. That disposes of Mr. Roo9i vki.t for tho present. By tho time be be comes eligible he may be worn out as a politician. It is not well to Jump into the arena at too early an age.

Tbe spring election takes plce oa April stn. being five weeks from next Monday. TUere is a tacit understanding among Republicans that tbelr convention will be held en Wednes day March 18th.

The fall Gubernatorial campaign is a sort of lapping over Into tbe lap of the spring cam paign. Here is General "Bob" Kennedy Ir reverently Invading Foraker's own Cant hill.

Oeneral Kennedy has been quietly very quietly calling on the leading Hamil ton County Republicans, lie arrived in tbe citv Tuesday morning, skirmished. about a good deal yesterday, and is to continue his rounds to-day. His mode of electioneering is lust as direct as on might expect from a statesman called "Bob" tor abort. Enoch T. Carson.

The names of nearly all tbe prospective candidates before tbe spring convention have been from tlioe to time announced la the ENariaER. The main Interest, of course, centers In the Mayoralty. Oa the Demo-cc ratio slde-lils Honor Stephen Banks desires a vindication. Senator William Caldwell is perhaps most frequently spoken Of in that connection.

With such a reserve list ss Sol P. Kineon, Brenf Arnold. George Duckworth, General Michael Ryan and Hugh CoJ vllle to draw from there is little danger of tbe convention makinga mlstuke. On the Republican side Fire Commissioner Cbfis Kleehler is tbe most prominent. The general feeling seems to be that be will get there.

Mr. KlechTer Is in the tin-roofing business, and formerly served several terms in the Board of Education, from tbe Twentieth Ward. A. Q. Ross, who a few years sko was badly beaten for tbe Board of Public Worka, is also out for Mayor, and tbey are making nulut a nht for him In some localities.

Sir A. T. Goshorn and Wm. Glenn, the wholesale grocer, ar "honorably mentioned" for the nomination, and with that honorable mention they must be content. The fact that Amor Smith received 297 out of 803 votes for Director of the Lincoln Club is eon elusive that that high-toned elusive orcanlzatlon has ellqued xor Prince Amor.

Mr. George Weber seems to have fallen by the wayside. John Blmp- klnson, of course, is a candidate, bnt with ih.

Now the German phalanx Is wavering and the Republicans are beginning to despair. The Republican legislative action on the proposed liquor license amendment has practicnlly resulted in a de feat of that measure.

It was In the evening of one day In ltttbat with hi peddler wagon, and accompanied by J. tra us. of this" city, whom he pieced up on the road. Mr. Epstein drew np in front of tbe old hotel and asked lodgings for the night.

The land lord, Bussel, took the team, while the two travelers entered a comfortless room contain- Ing a few broken chairs, an old bench and a fire-place in which a cheerless fire waa strug gling for existence. "In a tew momenta. nays the writer, "the landlord carae la and brought a Jug of what be called whisky and ollsred os some. 1 nlf pretended to drink, ii I wa already afraid. Then I went oat to look after my horse, and, going to th wagon, took a hatchet that I always carried from the box, and.

placing It In my coat-pocket, returned to the room. Shortly hereafter a roujb-iooking woman entered with a butcher-knife and asked the proprietor if that would do. He aald it would, and we then concluded that our end wa near.

Julia Dexter has written a latter to Representative Thompson, accompauied by a remonstrance signed by 170 heavy tax-payer of Cincinnati, remonstrating against the passage of Mr. Thompson's bill increasing tbe tar levy in tbat city from sixteen to twenty mills. In hi latter Mr. Dexter says: "While It 1 true that the department need more money, it should be given by enttlng down expense rather than by increasing taxes, Cincinnati' tax 1 to-day the highest in the United Slate. Mere rate and valuation are decoptive.

Th amount paid peroapita is a better criterion. We pay la Cincinnati twlca as much as is paia In Cbtcngo. The tax Valuation in Cincinnati is in Chicago In llTTS, two years after the fire, it waa 1303.000,000. In 18S2 it waa only 1125.000,000, when every body knows tbat nhiara is richer than Cincinnati. In 1SS0 Cook County, 111 raised by taxation for ail purpose $600,000, while Hamilton County, Ohio, raised.

$500,000 a much larger sum nrooortionately. Tb real estate of Cin cinnati wa rtnrned to the Decennial Board of Sqdallxation for the Stat in aa bitrn. as tbe real estate of Colnmbns. Toledo and Dayton. Put together these cities had upward of seventy Kquare miles of territory to our twenty-rive: bad more than three hundred thousand inhabitant to onr two hundred and fifty-five thousand, and had one hundred and fifty houses th every one hundred in Cincinnati.

The state Board reduced valuations In oil four cities, and increased it In Cincinnati. I instance these, a I might give many more facts to show tbat. compared with other cities, Cincinnati Is already heavily taxed, and any addition will handicap this city in the competition with her rival. The most significant Indication of the 111 effects of taxation la shown by tbe comparison of city and conntrv irrowth In population from 18TO to ISSu. Cincinnati is the only city that reversed the otherwise invariable rule that cities grow faster than the country.

Hamilton County on fide of Cincinnati eatned more than the city. No devastating fire, no pestilence, famine, flood, riot, business panic or any thing else than the crushing efleot of taxation cau explain this fact." Bow Our Mayor Achieved Distinction. St. Louis Chronicle. Tom J.

Squire Sanderswa Says Be Was In Doiibt to Whom to Pay tbe Money. The motion to recover money from "Squire Sanderson by Mr. Yancy was heard before Judge Goebel yesterday in tbe Probate Court, Inquire Sanderson testified that be had received money from, the Constable who levied th execution. He held It because he wa in doubt aa to whether he ought to pay tb money back to Mrs. Yancy or to pay it to R.

G. Wood, who now held the claim against Mrs. Yancy' husband, Lee Yanoy. 'He dented that he wa attempting to keep her from getting tbe money, or that, he bad refused to ever pay It back. It will be remembered' that the money wa a Judgment against Lee Yancy In a bastardy suit brought by Lillian Fowler.

She transferred the claim to John Carter and lie transferred it to R. G. Wood, who bad been tbe surety on Yancy 's bastnrdy bond. It seems from the testimony that the 'Squire was entirely guiltless as far as attempting to keep Mrs. Yancy from getting the money is concerned.

The cuss was continued until next Tuesday for more testimony. BUILDERS' EXCHANGE. As Important Meeting and a Very Excellent Showing. At a meottug of the Directors of tb Builder' Exchange yesterday, J. M.

The condition of hi will" provided tbat hi wife bocld support, maintain and educate tbe daughter Gertrude, and Immediately upon her marriage (250.000 should become hers. Evn this larg sum taken from hi fortnn left the mother immensely wealthy.

Tbey resolved to enjoy life and see th world-Houston was too small for their sphere of action, and tbey earn to Kew York. Gertrude wa ten years old, but Very preeoclou aad almost fall grown in sis. Tbelr stay in tb! city wa brief, and ta winter of 186S found them In Pari, the daughter scarcely fourteen, but a young lady. lve yarJ later they returned to New York.

rested on a serious Charge. Andrew J. Muchmore. a wealthy farmer living near Madisonvllie, was arrested and brought before Squlr Myers yesUrday on a warrant sworn fitit br Mrs. Exlld Turner, who charge Muchmore with having been too Intimate with, ber daughter, Kettle Turner, blooming loss ot about twenty summers.

Mr. Muchmore received a divorce from hi wife about two year ago, since which tlru he bos bad several female keeping nous for blm, tbe lost person acting In thl eapaclty being Netti Turner, who ha looked after Much mere's household and conducted th affairs In his culinary department, MmM Muchmore gave bond in the snm of 1-100, With Mr. A.

Mochmore eel a little bitter over the affair, and denies having bad any thing to do with the young lady. He claims that his wife I urging Mrs. Turner to bring the suit, and promises to knock tbe whole matter it tbe head wben tb cas come up for hearing. i m- Cable and Electric Railroad, ar Which? ro tki KPi-roa or thi xsarnn. Wben I took np th Ekqcibck yesterday morning, and read tb remark of your esteemed correspondent, J.

L. I had no appetite for breakfast. I remembered that I owed my boy a wnlpplng, and proceeded to fill tbe contract, I tben hammered myself to see if I could not pound som sens Into tb llttla there Is of me, to bring my mind In accord with Jim and SI. With my egotism so prominent and my abilities so contracted. I could only subdue myself sufficiently to keep myself within bounds.

I called on my friends Colonel Frank Horn and Mr. John Ryan, and asked tbem to do what I knew I could not accomplish, and. If they and J. L. If.

should meat, so rue on will be hurt. I then called on Judge J. W. Fitzgerald and frankly stated to him what I expected would be tb result 4f tbe meeting. After assuring him of my hearty support next spring he promised to stand by my friends, And give Hi ninety days.

In the mean tjjme onr greatest obstacle being removed, the road may completed. I am fully aware that wben Jim and SI agree on a subject so full of vitality as electricity. In tlm It will com to pass, and when that time arrive I will apoloclze and recommend it ue on onr lines, but in the meantime, while we feel slightly demoralised and somewbntdtscouraged, from the fact that wecannot aereo, we will proceed with tbe cable construction. Now let us compare what we are aoing with what ba been don elsewhere: Ban Francisco Rail iron, llgrht; slot-rails iron, 4 inches deep. 24 pounds per yard: yokes wroueht-lron curves Iron; balance of street construction concrete and masonry.

Philadelphia Rails Iron, same as used heretofore; slot-mil 4 Inchesdeep, iron, 30 pounds per yard; yokes, none: balance of street construction sheet-iron and concrete. New York Rails 58 pound), steel girder; slot-rstl 0 inches deep, 4s pounds; yokes cast-iron. IKS pounds each; curves steel; balance of street construct ion concrete. Chicago Rails steel, same as In use heretofore; slot-rail. Iron, SO pounds per yard; yokes, wrouarht-iron heavy curves, steel; butanes construction concrete.

Cincinnati (Gilbert-avenue Line) Ralls, steel girder, .13 pounds; slot-rail steel, 7 Inches deep, 63 pounds per yard; yokes oast-iron, with wrounbt-iron bruces, 300 ponnds each; curves steel; balance street construction, masonry and concrete. These are facts, nnd we have the opinion of experts that outside of Chicago we nave the strongest and best construction of auy cable road yet built. Onr pulley casings and bearings, which ar all of Iron and steel, need ouly be seen to be appreciated. Ho, while 1 will admit that I possess all tbe shortcomings ascribed to roe, none of tbem will be found in the cable work on Uilvert avenue. Yours, truly, O.

Oath waters of Blat Creek, about al miles south-west of the town ot Owlnssvllle, Bath County, Uve Mr.

Rliod Howard, what doubtles th most remarkable Instance of longevity In tn RUte. or pcrhap In the United Slates. Unlike tnost of th alleged centenarian, ber age I established by the most Incontestable proof. Mr. Rboda Howard wo born In Wilkes Conoty, North Carolina, la December.

1767. Her maiden name was Ward, and married Mr. Jesse De board In her native county and State In the year 1780. By thl marrUg hod three children Wealey. Washington and Fran Klin.

In 1S03 he, wltn her husband, emigrated to Kentucky afoot, coming by way of tbe Cumberland Gap, and ttld la Montgomery County, near where now reside, and at tbat tlm Morgan Station. After living here several years, her husband, Jess De-board, started to visit his old home in North fmllno. lcn.vlnr.hia wtf and family be hind. After the lapse of a year or so th lady beard that ber husband, wa deed, although ehe received no let ter from blm. a in those day there vers no mail and communication wa very difficnlt, depending altogether upon person traveling from one but to tb other.

Thu hopelessly waiting and watching for him for everal year ahe concluded tbat be was dead. She again married, and this time to Mr. Henry Little, by whom she had two children Job and Julia Ann the latter now a very old lady, living in the town of Owl ngs vllle. the wife Of Mr. J.

W. Counts. Her second hnsband died, and she married Mr. James Howard, a Revolutionary soldier. He died In Bath County, the old lady says, so long ago thst the has forgotten th time.

Bhe la now drawing a pension from tlie United State Government a th widow of a Revolutionary soldier, James Howard. Wben her interviewer rode up to her house and hallooed she came to tbe door, asked blm In, and when be bad don so she proffered blm a scat. Bhe soon Impressed him a very remarkable woman and the oldest-looking person he had ever seen. Sbo is tall aud pare, about five feet nine inches in height. stands erect, not stooping as old people usually do; ha a Roman nose and dark, piercing eyes.

Her bair is as whit as snow; her complexion sallow, and she is lively, active and talkative. She sweeps ber own room, and eats at the table with the rest of the family. Eh lost her teetii many years ego, and on of her eyes has failed, but she says she can see as well out of the other as ordinary people. At present she is living with her two sons, Washington nnd Franklin, th formr of whom Is seventy-five and the latter seventy-four year old. Bhe said that ehe had always enjoyed good health, and had never taken medicine except in a short Illness in the year of 1K39; that she had led a very active Hie; bad worked very hard in her younger days, and had undergone many hardships and privations.

Bhe continued, saying that the people of this generation know nothing of how people used to live, of what they endured and suffered; but she believed that tbe people then were happier and more hospitable than the people of this day. Bhe displayed aeveral. articles manufactured by hr own hands when a young woman. She ho a pair of band-cards upon which she ha carded many pounds of cotton and wool. Bhe requested a pip of tobacco, and when supplied she sat in the corner oy her bright wood fir and smoked and butted awny Sh replied to a que, tion that she bad been smoking ever since he was sixteen years old; that she b- an it a a remedy for phthisis; and this connection sh related a superstitious custom prevalent among the peo.

ie of that day, as follows: The way phthisis children was cured was to take the child into the woods, stand it np agHlnst a tree, and. placing an auger on top of the hend, boro a hole in the tree, and then take a lock of hair from the child's head, insert It lu th auger bole and drive a wooden Din In It, and if tbe child outgrew the tree it would ret well, but if tbe tree outrrew the child it would never recover. Here Is a womau who has used tobacoo for a hundred years. What Is to become of tbe theory of tbos who rail against the use of the weed? Mrs. Howard Is a remarkable woman in many respects; although sh Is one hundred and eighteen years old, she still possesses in an eminent aegree all her mental and physical faculties.
