Mr. Kenyon has some good qualities, however, which commend him warmly to a close circle of friends. He has dignity of manner, a courtly courtesy, and the faculty of attracting friends, to whom he sticks with tolerable tenacity.

TELEGRAPH. A MISSISSIPPI DISASTER saga mm ma ItEGULAR DISPATCHES TO DAILY FREEMAN FOREIGN. As soon u3 the trial Judge Davis will bring on the against ex-Boss Tweed, ineot Is so extensive that there is concluded big indict- Tbis indict- is no likeli- liood of Its being disposed of during the present generation. District Attorney Phelps, assisted by Mr. Tremain and other emiuent counsel, will labor to secure a conviction on it as long as they live.

Messrs. Graham, Bartlett, Fullerton Co. will oppose them during the continuance of their mortal And when both prosecuting and defending lawyers die and go to the last resort of all lawyers, the case will descend to their successors in office, who will go on with it as long as they tarry here below. And so on century after century. The Boss himself will probably pay the debt of nature, if ho never pays another, and in the course of time will be honored with an equestriau monument in the Central Park; but nobody will ever know whether be stole any money or not.

Thus it Is the corrupted currents of this It Is to be hoped that the Senate Transportation Committee, which is now deliberating over its completed travels, may really be able at last to recommend some practicable scheme to Congress for increasing the carrying facilities of the country and at the same time reducing their cost. They may be sure iu advance of one thing. Tiie people will not consent to any arrangement either of purchase or construction which involves an increase of the national debt. So ail notions about digging canals with government money or in any way getting on foot a gigantic piece of jobbery will be certain death to the committee which encourages them. This those gentlemen no doubt thoroughly understand.

Something must be done about the matter which this committee went forth to investigate and that too without needless delay. The party which wants the popular vote in 1876 must not forget the interests of western grain and eastern markets. Liberal Camlidaltn. The Liberal County Convention was not largely attended. The situation was fully and freely discussed; and it being deemed inexpedient to nominate a third ticket of men not previously in the field, it wa3 decided to select one from those now before the people as the candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties.

The desire unanimously expressed by the delegates wa9 to avoid the endorsement of any ring candidate, and a3 the result of tbelr they present the ticket to be found in the report of the convention. For sheriff Mi. Silas Saxton of Lloyd Is the candidate. Mr. Saxton is a mail of many friends and uo enemies.

Good-hearted, sociable and in manner, be is widely esteemed and warmly regarded by a wide circle. He has beeu in public life, and yet nothing can be said against him; neither can there against him privately. This is a novelty in politics, and the opponents of Mr. Paxton will be nonplussed in their campaign. Mr.

Leftover, of Roseuduic, for Clerk, may be considered an anti-Ring candidate, as he rnu its head, Brodhead, in liis palmy days, and was beaten. From this fact Mr. Lofever will too helped by the sympathy of hundreds. Of Mr. Gerow we cannot speak with full knowledge, having no acquaintance with him, hat he is represented as being a worthy Capt.

Dan. Gillet will be elected Justice of Sessions anyway, but we take delight in giving him a passing three cheors. Gallant, brave and true, he is the man who most fully comprehended the situation of the county with its defaulting Treasurer. Everybody ought to vote Capt. Gillet.

For Coroners D. M. Lamoree and Charles Stephan hare been nominated. Of the candidates for Assembly we spoke in issue, and re-com- mend.them. There is uo squarer man on than John D.

OHIO. Business is looking up all round the sky. Wall street is quiet and pretty much free from all sensational events. Stocks have slightly declined, but no uneasiness has resulted. The officers of savings banks report an appreciable increase in deposits, and several branches of trade and manufactures declare themselves not materially injured by the late panic.

The wholesale trade of the large business houses has been interfered witli but slightly by the money stringency, while the retail lias suffered considerably. The signs of returning trade show themselves with returning confidence, and the outlook for the remainder or the fall and the coming winter is much brighter than was apprehended. The export trade was never belter and grain is coming forward in heavy amounts. Shipments of cotton are still foreign houses are ready to take all The prospect is cheering, and they who groan about the future lack both pluck and common sense. MISCELLANEO US NE WS.

The late tragedy at Cornell University connected with the initiation of a student named Leggett into one of the secret societies of that institution ought to carry a lessou with it for the future guidance of all interested. This yonng man was taken between two members ef the Kappa Alpha, aetiug as conductors, and led by them at uigbt over rough ground and across various obstructions to teacli him the dignity and mystery of the organization he was about to enter, as well as to impress upon his mind a wholesome sense of his tile dependence upon the good faith of those who held him by either arm. Without design, but as a consequence of culpable carelessness, both candidate and conductors fell over a precipice, killiug youug Leggett and seriously injuring the two others. The jury blamed no one, but there is blame nevertheless. It consists in the very existence of such societies.

They are got up iu most colleges by the students merely for amusement, and that is often of the lowest and most vulgar description. They arc barbarous in themselves and disgrace the institutions which tolerate them. A Gentleman, As a nation we lack breeding. We have money, clothes, brains and something artificial called but wc have no breeding. The real and profound gentlemau is a rara avis in our society.

Our ladies discuss, our misses simper and and our men flatter and fawn; but where is the specimen of masculinity to whom you instinctively apply the old name of gentlqman The fact is that with our growing smartness and sharpness we are outgrowing that real respect for each other which, with its proper forms of expression, constitutes the only possible good society. We are just a shade too democratic for our own good. There is an aristocracy which should exi3t of gentleness, culture, courage, refinement and courtesy. But one generation cannot produce it; it must have an ancestry and traditions. The courtly dignity, unobtrusive dress, and condescending gentility of the school of Washington and Franklin might seem a little loo formal for us, but if something of its spirit could infect our manners we should gain in stability what we lost in And the change would be a good one.

We would not hastily conclude against our modern civilization, though it can do no harm to suggest that railroads, steamboats and so on do not altogether make up a real progress. The Republican Nominee for Judge. The Republican as well as the Democratic Judicial Convention has recognized thecluims of Ulster counly, and located its candidate in the city of Kingston, so that whatever the personal result of the contest we shall have a Court Judge in this county; which is right. The nominee, Hon. Win.

S. Kenyon, is known in the county, and is a gentleman of many excellencies and as many grave faults. His temper, Imperious, violent and ungovernable at times, prevents a strictly accurate judgment of his legal ability, and iu fact has lorbidden very frequent display of it save in the cooler and calmer counsel given in the solitude of the inner retreat oi a office. Among ail our lawyers of prominence Mr. Kenyon is the one most seldom seen in the court-room in the trial of a case, his lack of self-control almost absolutely unfitting him for practice.

Hence it is not at all surprising that his opponent, lion. T. R. Westbrook, tries perhaps fifty causes to his one. Accompanied as this temper is by a remarkable timidity' of action and of incurring resjionsi- bility, we have a compound curiously ill- adapted for the Bench, the only hope of his career as a judge, should he be elected, being a successful one lying in tbe possibility or there existing in the Bench a corrective and educative influence to which these deformities might submit.

Mr. Kenyon is also too strongly imbued with tbe opinion that everybody Ts actuated by sordid motives, to have had an at all narrow escape from being a great man. As a politician Mr. Kenyon has not been a success. The Central Committee, of which he has been Chairman for many years, never lias sold his residence in Washington to Hon.

A Former Defalcation in the Treasury. The defalcation in the state treasury which was brought to light yesterday, is not the first which ha3 occurred. Under the previous administration, when Wheeler II. Bristol was treasurer aud Asher P. Nichols was comptroller, there was an embezzlement of tho state funds, not as large as tho present, but probably extending over a longer period of time.

According to the common understanding of tbe facts, the cash in tho treasury was about $40,000 sfiort of what the books showed, and this sum was carried along for months in a fiatitious manner, not being detected. At length all of it was made good except $7,000, aud at the close of the term aud upon the accession of the preseut state officers, this deficiency remained. Attorney- General Barlow instituted a suit against the late treasurer for the recovery of this money, and was successful in it, so that the state secured the whole amount. wj Journal.

FOR Railroad Profits in Xcwark, The Newark Advertiser is responsible for the following statement: An elderly gentleman stepped briskly into a Chadwick avenue car this morning and immediately sought in his trousers pockets for the necessary nickel wherewithal to pay his fare.

Not finding the ready coin the elderly gentleman fished a fitly cent stamp from a plethoric pocketbook and tendered it to tbe driver. In return he received the customary small envelope labelled and purporting to contain an equivalent in small change for the jmssengers legal tender. Opening the envelope the gen- nian withdrew one car ticket and four five cent nickels; only those and nothing more. Not deeming twenty--five cents ia coin a rail- equivalent for a jmper half dollar the astonished passenger demanded another quarter from the driver. That functionary, however, declared himself irresponsible and the elderly gentleman was compelled either to pocket the loss or journey to the office of the company for redress.

Fortunately for him he happened to have a half hour to spare and devote that time to getting his lawful change. Other passengers warmed into conversation by a fellow-feeling, related similar experiences, some with the additional grievance of obliged to catch a train and lose amounts varying from five to twenty-flvo cents. We condense the following from the Freeman's Journal: Early in the season we said that our home markets must to a great extent be governed by tho condition of the foreign our brewers, while generally preferring American hops, would not pay very high prices for them if able to buy forelgu hops of a good quality a little lower. It (urns out that England and Germany will both export hops to a large extent, aud therefore the market here cannot be controlled by our own growers, or by any combination which they and the dealers might possibly make. The few small lots of hops that have been purchased in this country at 48 to 50 cents, have been bought to till pressing order, and sold at a nominal profit.

Dealers are now as reluctant to pay 45 cents, and do not buy ahead of their orders. It is our candid belief that an attempt on the part of the growers here to hold their hops at 50 cents would result in benefit only to foreign growers, who will thus be enabled to undersell them in them in their own market, and get control of trade. Wo have, from the week the season opened till now, advised any grower who has personally consulted us, to sell hi3 hops at the highest cash price he could obtain, and not wait till foreign importations gave the dealer and manufacturer a wider choice and perhaps lower prices; we saw nothing to encourage the hope of still higher rates, but on the contrary, reasons to fear a falling market. Tbe past week lias been a very quiet one in the dealers buying nothing on speculation and taking what good to prime hops were offered at 40 to 45 cents to till Only the very best sorts will now command the latter figure. may have sold a little higher.
