Ispraxarouss, Ind., March 4.—On looking into the law, it is found to-day that there is 3 provision existing for carrying on only three of the principal institutions,—the Insanc, Deaf @l Dumb, and Blind Asylums. By the falure of the General Appropriation bill otn prisons are kept without other funds thay those which arise from the labor cmtract.

Special Correspondence of The Trivune. _Bnnu.\'c.'@os, Ia., March 2.—An important railroad combination has recently been effected, which promises to cxert a marked influence on the freizht and passenger business of the Mis- sissippi Valley fa linols, Iows, and Missouri. On the 15th of February Mr. A. L. Hopkins, Receiver and General Manager of the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Railway, was appointed Gen- eral Manager of the Toledo, Wabash & Western Railway, and accepted the position, and has ea- tered upon the discharge of its duties. He has not resigned the position of General Manager of the Toledo, Peoria & Warsarw, and the two lines which were before active competitors are now operated under one management. The Toledo, Wabash & Western_Conipany, by a change of nume, has become The Wabash {uilwnv om- pany. The two roads run practically parallel hrough Illinois, and not more than fifty miles apart. The Waubash Road runmive branches trom Decatur to St Louis, Quincy, Hannibal, Kcokuk, and Pekin, and a branch from Lafay ette to Bluomiugzon, and the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw Road running from Burlington, with a branch from La Harpe to Keokuk, and having in the Peoria & Rock Island practicaliy a branch to Rock Island, the union of the two intcrests cannot 1ail to be of unusual- significance. Both these roads are now in most excellent condition, and, the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw claim that tiey can and will during the summer run a through cosch from Burlington to.New York in thirty-six hours. Much new steel rail was laid by tnis Compaxy last scason, and the roadbed was carefully ballasted until itis' as casy and comfortable to ride upon as apy road in the country. Reaching, as the combined roads do, such a wide extent of territory, and having at Toledo the choice of two Eastern outlets, the combination produces 2 power in the railroad world that commands respect and wields a pew- erful influence. The prospects arc now very favorable thut Dbefore the summer of 157 shall close Burlington will be the terminus of two, il mot of three, narrow-mauge railroads. ‘The Burlington & Nurthwestern bas more than paid its operating expenses during the winter, although ouly thir- ty-two miles in length, Its exteasion is a fixed 1act, and it now scems probable that at Winficld, its present terminus, it will branch into_two lines, one running northwest through Craw- fordsville and Wasbmeton, and on through IowaCounty, and the otlier §oingulmost. directly west through Marshall and Brighton and Keo- iui County. The success of this enterprise has stimulated two others, the Burlinzton, Keo- eaugua & Western, a project originated late 1ast fall, and which is now receiving considerable attention, and the Burlington, Monmouth & Illivois River Railroad. It Pekiun or Peoria take hold of the latter project with any energy it will undoubtedly succeed speedily,and will probably Ve built without their aid.” Tue Burlington, neosauqua & Western will be built by taxation along its line. J. W. BURDETTE. THE ROCK ISLAND & SOUTHWEST- ERN RAILROAD. New York Sun, Murch 1. ‘The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company has issued a circular inviting bids for anew issue of mortgage bonds, which it pro- poses to make shortly. OF course, investors must use their own judgment as to the value of the sccurity which the Company offers; but there is onc conspicuous absence of truth in its circalar to which we would call attention. Ta the details of the Company’s resources and liabilities, presented as an Inducement to take the new houds, not one word is said of its obli- gations on account of the Chicago & Southwest- ern Railroad. A like silence is observed in the official reports of the Company. The state- ments of net carnings in these reports is made up without reference to the amount lost in operating the Southwestern, this amount being carried along as an asset forming part_ of the R 1sland’s surplus. Up to April 1, 18i5. the loss was $2,358,552. and by April 1, 1876, it had _grown to be §3,236, 148. At this rate the Ro:k Island Compauy is out of pocket vearly §1,000,000 a year by oper- ating the Southwestern Road, and’it is not hon- cst In its ofiices to conceal tac fact from the pablic when asking lor 2 new loan. A like concealment has been practiced by the officers of the New Jersey Central Railroad Company in respect of the bonds of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company, which were is- sucd and sold with the guarantee of the New Jersey Central. These bonds were represcnted as first mortgage bonds, and are still called =o, but the fact s that they are subject to gencral liens of over 3,050,000, which have not yet been canceled, and a number of separate purchase- money mortzazes, amounting toover $1,000,000, making altogether more than $4,000,000, which must be paud in fall before the holders of the guaranteed bonds are cntitled to anything. THE BOSTON STRIKE. &Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. Bostox, Mass., March 4.—The third week of the strike on the'Boston & Maine Railroad has passed, but nathing of special importance has transpired by which the result can be predicted. Both parties remain dogeedly actermined, but it is hard to say which has the advantagze. On the one band the road is moving large quanti- tes of freight and carrying thousands of pas- sengers without the assistance of the old en- gincers, and has managed to avoid serious accl- dents. On the other hand, the stock of the road has sold as low as %, a direct. result of the strike. This decline from par, at which it was selling before the trouble, represeutsa decrease in the value of the stock of $420,000, while it is stated that the Joss iu_receipts amounts to $3,000 daily. The stock Kas rallied, however, from its lowest point, and wavers between 97 and 98. ~ Popular sympathy_continues to remain with the en- oincers. Meetings have been held in various fowns along the Toad, at which resolutions con- demning the management were passed, and Mr. ‘Arthur, the Chiel Engineer of the Brotherhood, has addressed larze crowds in several citics. There is an intimation that toc old time-table will be resumed tnis week. CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company has announced its intention of calling in the 7 per cent sinking-fund bonds which mature in 189, in accordance with the right reserved when the bouds were issued. The Company intends to execute a new mortgage on the property for $12,500,000, under which it will issue $9,000,000 6 per cent forty-year bonds to replece the present 7 per cent bonds,” and $1.000,000 of similar bonds to replace. the pres- ent 6 per cent bonds, and will retain §2,500,000 as arescrve to use for mew extensions or im- provewments when nccesslg. The new mort- rare will be mage to tue United States Trust Company of New York as Trustee, and will cover all the propertyof the Company, on which jt will be_the only mortgage lien when the bonds now outstandine arc retired. The change {rom 7 to 6 per vent bonds can probably be made Without difficulty, and will save the Company some $980,000 a year in interest. THE RIVER ROADS. Mr. T.0.Wyatt, thenew Superintendent. of the Chicago, Dubngue & Miunesota and the Chica- go, Clinton & Dubnque, was in the city Satur- dsy,and had a confercnc¥ with the General Su- perintendent of the Illiacis Central and the President of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Mr. Wyatt, wno manages the roads for the Trustees of -the bondholders, is consid- erod a ood and practical railroad man, and it is believed that he will sneceed in rescming the resent embarrassments. He ?fiofig!;hg:pgnnwndcnh of the Wisconsin Valley Railroad. It is understood that the scocknolders bave withdrawn all opposition to the completion of the ioreclosure, and that they ate to receive $100,000_in bonds of the reorsan- ized companies for their interest. _This is virtu- aily a compromise with Rhomberg’s interest.

FOREIGN. GREAT BRITAIN. O'MAHONET. DusLis, March 4.—The funeral of John O"Mahoney took place to-day. Six thousand persons took part in the procession, which passed through the principal streets, carrying mourning banners, and accompanied by thirty bands of music. The coflin was placed upon a “large funeral car, which was immediately fol- lowed by some twenty persons who had former- ly been imprisoned for political offenses. About 100,000 people witnessed the demonstration, which was purely- of a Fenian character. About twenty of the trade organizations of Dublin took part in the procession. Several delegations from the- country attended. * Charles J. Kickham, former Iy a political prisoner, delivered an address, in the course of which he declared that Fenianism. still existed. The remains were deposited in the grave of Thomas Bellew MacManus. All public-houses in the city were closed during the day. OBITUARY. . Loxpox, March 4.—George Ogden, the well- known agitator for the rights of the working- classes, is dead. The procession began to move at 12:15 p. m., but larze crowds were assembled in front of the Mcchanics’ Institute from early in the morning. Nearly all those who followed the funeral<ar _worc mourning, and all had green badges. Many “American flags were displayed. The flag of O'Mahonev’s regiment covered the affair, aud on it was a wreath of immortelles. The procession was headed by Mr. Roantree, an Irish-American, who acted as Grand Marshal. He was azcompanied by mounted assistant marshals. Following was the order of the procession: Grand Marshal and Staff, Band. Funeral car. Chief mourner, American dtlcfislion.

THE EAST. s RUSSIA. Loxpox, March 4.—The Standard’s corre- spondent at Pesth telegraphs that there are zood grounds for stating that Russia’ will not resist a proposition to grant the Porte a year's grace, but will require as & condition that the Suitan shall sign a protocol accepted by the Great Powers containing a collective guarantee to Europe for the exccution of reforms. CRIME. HORSE-THIEVES IN IOWA. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Drs Moiwnes, la., March 8.—Horse-thieves have evidently started on their spring-tour. About & week ago Dan Flyun, of Dal- as County, the well-kuown cattle-breed- had a, finc horse stolen. A young fellow who bad been at work in the vicinity was suspected, cliase was given, and he was cap- tured,with the horse, in Madison County, taken back, and lodged injail. Twonightsafter hebroke jail. The Sunday night following, a fine horse was stolen from the barn of Mr. Armstrong, in ‘Warren County. A neighbor of Mr. Armstrong, who was on the road very carly in the morning, met the thief and horse, and, on reaching Arm- strong’s house, inquired who was ridinz his Thorse, which was the first kpowledee Mr. A. had that the horse was not in the stable. Pursuit was made, and the fellow captured in Wayne County, making tracke for Alissourl. He was brought back and lodged in jail, and subsequent- Iy provedto be the thief who stole Flyno's horse. During the past few weeks several horses have been missing in this county, and no trace of them can be found,—showing that they were taken by experts. dJ. H. Nelson, a young fel- low, wha &ports fine clothes, stunning_jewelry, clossy locks, and a huge mustache, has becn about the city for some time. His principal as- sociates werc fast women. A few nights ago he ot iftoa fight, was ecverely punished about 1he face, and cluded the “peclers ” by getting out of town. The following night two horses were stolen, in different townships in the coun- ty. Suspicion fastencd upon one Henry Dun- X young fellow who was frequently in tnat vicinity, purporting to be a traveling salesman —from the fact that a saddle was taken which he happened to see¢ hidden away that day. A description of him was Jodged with the police «in the city, and also a bloody neck-tic which was picked up in the faam yard. The police were satisfied that Harry Dunkle and Nelson were the same person; and a few days %o, about 3 o'clock in the morning, hewas * pulled” at a bagmin. The bloody meck-tic is identificd as one worn by him in the affray, and the evi- dence against nim is strong. It turns out since his arrest. that his real name is Joseph Tooteler, and toat he is aregular Missouri horse-thief, who has followed the business ever since the War. Re is also wanted at var ous piaces for forgery. He is perfectlv nonchalant, but expresses a ter- riblc fear that he will fall into the, hands of the Vigilantes, which is not diminished much by the fuil view he bas from his cell-win- dow of the lamp-post where Howard dangled. It _is fortunate that Le fell into the hands of officers, tor the township Vigilantes were close on his heels, and their victims have dangied from several trees. In Howard County, recently, two young men, named Frank Millsand Andrew Hulver,camento the Village of Chester, where they hune about a saloon until late, when they went to a farm- house necar by, stole a set of harness, came back, hitched their horses to the wazon of a Howe scwing-machine agent, and drove off. In the wagon were two machines. A citizen saw them start, and, suspecting something wrong, notified the ;:feut, who at once, with five other men, started in pursuit. _The thicves made good ~ time. At Forestyille they stole another set of harness. They then on_the way, stole When about. four steered ,for Etna, and, two more sets of harness. miles southwest of Chester, the pursuers came in sight of them, on the prairie. The thieves also discovered the pursuers, and quickly turned up to a straw-stack and bid their plunder, de- tached their horses, mounted them, and broke or the brush. '{L¢ pursuers halted at, Chester, organized into sq , and sct out to corral the thieves. On going to the house of a farmer, one of them was found quietly ecating subper. He was arrested, and placed in charge of an ofli- cer at Etna. The next morning the Vigilantes twok him from the officers and went to a grove, where they asked him to divulge his name and that of his comrade. He reruscd, and they swung him up by the neck. Three times he went up, until he was black in the face and in- scosible: but, as the rope began to pull the fourth time, he put up his hand, wnen he was let up. He made a full confession, and was de- livered over to the .officers. Hulver has not been found. M’DUEF. peclal Digpaich to The Tribune. = New York, Marca 4.—Lue punce have re- ceived information that Thomas McDuff, repre- sented to be a wealthy lumber merchant of Montreal, has suddenly disappeared. The in- formation was that McDuff was last seen in Bos- ton Feb. 1, making inquiries about the trains for this city. Without doubtthe missing man is the one referred to in a recent dispatch from Mon- treal, which states that Mr. McDufl, the Cana- dian representative of the British lumber firm of Gilmour & Co., Gisappeared Fep. 23. One of his duties was to buy sup- plies for the men in the service of the firm. He had peremptors orders not to speculate with the firm's money. The story is that, two years ago, he bought heavily for a rise n the provision market. The market fell fustead of rising. To repair his blunder and make the firm's Joss Te. launched into fresh operations, meanwhile manipulating the books in_“such a way-as to hide his x%emhfinz from his ‘employ- ers. The result of his ventures was a deficit of $20,000. It is supposed that, learning of the arrival in Montreal of the senior partver, John Gilmour, McDuff ran_away. Mr. Gilmour took roomsatSt.Lawrence Hall. M¢éDuafPs flight scems 10 have been a severe shock to him. ~ Sunday morniog, Feb. 25, he disappeared in turn, and, although the police and detectives made a dili- ‘gent scarch, no news or trace of him as yet has Decn obtained. The theory is that the shock “mecttled his miind, and that be wanderod off and killed bimself. F A BURGLAT. Special Dispateh to The Tribune.

Loms, March +.—At a quarter past 11 to- nleht fire was discovered Ina larze five-story iron building on the southwest corner of Seventn street and Washington avenue, owned by Gerard B. Allen, and occupied by H. M. Simon'& Greg- ory, wholesale dry goods, and Clatlin, Allen & Co.. wholesale boots and shoes. In fifteen minutes from the time the alarm strack. the flames burst .from thg cellarto the roof along the Seventh street side of the bullding, and a minute or two later nearly all that front of Simon & Gregory’s store fell with a fearful crash. At this writing, 11:45 p, m., the flames cnvelop the whole building, and the fiames are terribly flerce and avery. All the plate-glass in the new iron building diazonally across the strect and adjoining the Lindell Hotel is broken by the lieat and the concussion of falling walls. The firemen are directing their efforts to saving tbe finc biock of stores on the mnorth side of Washington avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets. LATER. A St. Louis, Mo., March 4.—At this writing, 12:45 a. m., the entire building is in a mass o ruins, the walls, exceptiug a part of the rear wall on the alley, having fallen. The loss on both buildine and stocks can scarcely be less than total. Simon & Gregory’s stock is esti- mated at $200,000; insurcd for about the same amount, mostly in Eastern companies, but_the m;mcs of ‘the offices cannot be ascertained to- night. Nothing can be learnedof Claflin, Allen & Co.’s loss to-night, no member of the firm being on the groun it will_be heavy. The = adjoining bulldiog on Waskington avenue, occupied by M. Bergen, furniture and mattress manufacturer, and the Howe Sewing-Machine Company, i3 flooded with water, and the loss will be considerable. Severnl stores on the opposite side of the street have lost most of their platc-glass fronts, and arc somewhat dasmaged by water. The building, which is-worth nothing except for old iron, cost $120,000 one year ago. IN CHICAGO.

He Tacks His Recent Doings to Great Con-~ temporaneous Events, and Comments on Them as & Whole in His Paper. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. NEW YORK, March 4.—In its stock report to- morrow tho Tribune ‘says: * The week was notable for events of fnportance in Ainancial and commercial circles. First, the flnal settlement of the Presidential question removes an clement of uncertainty, but it is not thouzht by conrserv- ative folk that it will be productive of any immediate remarkable effect upon the general situation; sccond, the Treasury has issued two, calls, cach of $10,000,000, for the old 520s; which makes a total of $100,000,000 which have been replaced by the 4} per cents sold through the Syndicate; third, the Supreme Court decision agamst the Granger, Railroads, laying down the broaa principle of absolute State control in all matters appertaining to railroads within its jurisdiction; and, lastly, an unexpected = and remarkable revolution in the management of the Chiuligo Rock Island & Pacific and Northwestern Kallroads. _ This consisted in the subatitution of Messrs.

The changes were thought to indicate a closer alliance between the Unfon Pacific Railroad and two of its Eastern feeders, at the expense of other conneeting lines. This view seems norcasonable when it is remembered, cven if the law permitted such a proceeding, that nll that comcs to Omaha is “gnat to the Union Pacific Mill,” and that, thercfore, it is evidently for its interest to encourage Eastern competition rather thon to renew the hostility of such a corporation as the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and others. 1t secmns much more likely toturn ont tobea movement of telegraphic than rallway im- portance, the quid-pro-quo, perhaps, beinga material and moral aid toward relief froma wearisome and losing speculation in stocks.” THE WEATHER, WasHINGTON, D.

Orcgon has been counted for Hayes, giving him the requisite 185 votes for clection through the Electoral College, and there is hardly a doubt that he will te duly in- sugurated on the 5th of March. If one-baif of the assertions in rclation to the *new de- parture” of tne Republican leaders be true, the people of the South, und those of Lowmsi- ana especially, may seothe their disappointment with the corisolation that they have uot lost all in losing the President; that they might have gone farther and fared worse. It seems not improbable that out of their political failure they may reap material success without any sacrifice of principle on their part. ‘Thc: honorable and manly atti- tude and high-toned conscrvatism of the South- ern people n_the trying struggles of the last few monihs have commanded the respect and admiration of the nation. If thero cver was anything in the supposed conservative_ tenden- cles of Gov. Hayes, it remains still. Such ten- dencies are consistent with all of his public record. Such a departare would be inberently sensible, immensely prudent, and, under the peculiar circumstances of the timeand manuer of his elevation to power, the strongest guar- antee he could have of & suceesstul Administra- tion. It is Dot to be expected that he can break away from his-party, or that he desires to do so. There fs room for the exercise of a policy as liberal as any hinted at without dis- membering bis party or provoking a deadly. hostility within it, but a lberal policy toward the South’ must inevitably excite theire of a certain noisy aud offensive clement in that party. If the South proposes to fly off on an ing ant tangent eviry timea Northern blatherskite gets off something offen- sive, there cetainly will neverbe a new depart- ure cfectual to oursalvation. Wecanuot sclect unadultered good and revel init. There is no such thing known to statesmanshio or politics. The parc of wisdom 18 to take the best thing offercd, mixed as it must be Wwith some things evil and perhaps more things disaxrceable, ratn- er thau supinely drift to destruction. Four vearsisa long time tous, and before it shall have becn passed we may, should matters turn in our favor, be clear out of all our troubles and in the van of prosperous and happy States. Such a prospect is well worth careful con- sideration. Patronage {s not what we want of him,—but we do want seli-government, It is not to be gainsaid that the Northern Democrats have not acted with fairuess and full justice towards the South. They havenot done, when they shad opportunity, what they might have done to improve the condition of the Southern States, and even Mr. Tilden was com- pelled, by the pressure of the Northern Democ- Tacy, to place himself on record rather sharply toward some Southern interests. The Raadalls, Holmans, and othets of like in- fluence who in a large measure wielded the Northern Democracy in Congress, on nearly every occasion voted against and oppostd sny Jarge grantsof aud to the South. Sometimes it was onc excuse tor this opposition and some- times another, but amid them all they forced the South to be very modest in her demands for help. flc very Democrats of the North, who aided and acguiesced in the voting away of hundreds of millions to build Northern railroads, canals, lighthouses, navy-yards, docks, workshops, ar- senals, forts, and iisheries, and also to improve the rivers and harbors all over the North, were suddenly seized with the conviction that they had dooe wrong the very moment the Soutn asked for a littie help, aid refused to votc a dollar for Southern levees, raflroads, and other needs. Just as the Southern_States, after recuperat- ing from disastrous defeat and unparatleled losses and calamities, had_moved up in soiid phalanx and given hope to the National Demoe- Facy of securing control of the Government and the National Legislature, a epecious ** economy and retrenchment’ became the watch- words of _the 5, and _the promi- nent plsuks in 1ts * platform. *Re- trenchment and economy ” were forced into the platform by Northern Democrats, nearly all of whom knew that they had no hope of carrying their own States, but knew that the Solid South would have todo the votingin a self-sacrificing spirit for s policy which would cut off all hope of mational aid to any great Southern enterprise = True cconomy is always admirable, butt does appear incousistent with the eternal laws of justice that snch an ex- cessive fit_of economy should have seized the country when the North was gorged and the hungry South was begging a modicum of the same fostering zcneruslg. The great change waich has been made in the calculations of all parties by the Presidential complications, and the result of the decision of the Commission, seems, indeed, to have made a # new departure” of some sort necessary to botn patles in the North, in order to secure the favor of the South. Senator Bogy, on the part of the Democrats, very shrewdly and promptly comes forward with au appropriation of ahalf-million subsidy for a line of steamers between New Orieans and Brazl, which was instantly voted by a Repub- lican Senate. This move is a quick recozmition of the fact that the South, having with sensitive ‘honor rulfilled, fn spirit and to the letter, her part of the compact with the Northern Demucra- c¥, means now to make the best of the eftnation ana take care of hersclf fn her material in- rests. ze'.|‘m: Northern Democracy have nobody to blame but themselves for the situation, if it shall result disast :rouslyv!?n them, whicn is jnlz_;[t inevitably necessary. With an immense majori- tyin e House a5y, session, they _blindly und obstinately refused to act upon and force a set- tlément of the Louisiana question, which has re- turned now to plague them with its Returning Board. ‘With the new-born zeal among_ both parties for Southern rights, it is to be hoped thet a pacitication’of both Louisiana and South Coro- Jina will soon take place. Louisiana has much to ask and much to expect. New Orleans nceds not only a Brazilinn lne of steamers, but a Myxican line, and still another to Central A?‘tr- e bagataa: but New Orleaus is not alone Mississippi Valley needs 1l be equally benetited by them.

CLEAN THEM OUT. PRESIDENT MAYES' OPPORTCNITY. 7o the Editor of The.Tribuse. DUBUQUE, Ia.. March -At no time in the history of the United States has any President had the opportunity of affording to the Ameri- can people more desirable changes and much- needed reforms than that presented to Gov. 1 to which no_honest Repub- lican can shut bis cyes that the average office- holder under the Administration of President Grant has been far from meeting the expecta- tipns of the people. Defaleations, betrayals of public trasts, aud a shameless disregard, In many instauces, of the first principles of offivial integrity aml ‘conunon honesty, have, of late years, become entirely too frequent. Searcely a day-pisses that we dun’t find In the press of the country an instance of xome ollicer of the Gov- crament turning up a defaulter. There secms to be two principal causes to which most of the 1 depravity aud corruption of the present may traced. First, a total or partial disrega on the part of the appointing power of the fitness, morally and ofticially ‘speaking, of the appointee; and, secondly, permitting appointees to remain 00 long in vtlice. With but few exceptions, it isthe oflice-holder of long standing that is always found to be gailty of fraud and a breach of pub- Iie trust. Findiug themselves in possession of large sums of the public money, and being tol- erably certain that thiey are goinz to remain in office, through influcoces brought or that mav brouzht to bear in that direction, they begin culato with the public {funds for their owvn private benefit, and when their betrayal of trust can be no longer kept seerct from the public eye they tnvariably plead that they appropriated tie moncy to their own use with the best of in- tentio cpocting “of course” to be able to hefore called upon to scttle their The people have a just end well- erounded suspicion that official ~“riogs”” are en- tirely too numerous at present, and there scems to be a very gencral sentiment that President Hayes will ma'se a *“clean sweep.” In a l point of view, an entire change, as experience has shown, alivays gives satisfaction, and there is no reason why the same rule wouldn’t work well iz a national scnse. Moderate and honest-minded - Republicans, throvghout the length acd breadth of the land, independent Republicon newspapers, taxpayers of both po- litical parties, demand a complete. change, and we hope Gov. Hayes will mect their wishes. We have noticed with pleasure the bold and inde- pendent stand taken by THE TRIBUNE on the question, and we hope it will continue in tac futare, as it has done i the past, to advocate re- form within the Kepublican party, untl the latter talies that proud position that it occupied In the days of ‘the lamented Lincoln. Shall Gov. Hayes decide, as we think he will, to choose new men, with an cye single to their fitness. their ‘moral honesty, and integrity, to fill the different offices, we nuve reason fo hube that betore the expiration of his Presidential term h's Adminis- tration will prove emincntly satisfactory in its results to all classes, by restoring confldence in business circles, by infusing a new hope and a new life into thic minds of those who had begun to despair of the fature greatness of the Repub- Tie, and by spreaaing prosperity and happiness toroughouc tue land.
