We h- pc that our enthusiastic contemporary
at Parkersburg wHI look wkh more charity
than !.e has si; iwu this winter upon our rep
resent itives in Congress. He has been inces
santly attacking them, and has been as often
compelled, by a sense of justice, to retract bis ;
tin founded censure. No republican paper iu
this state has treated them with the same harsh
ness and injustice; and yet with the full,
knowledge of many matters quite as worthy'
of criticism in those who inhabit tbe northern
wing of the Capitol, this fiery and irrepressi
ble patriot is as dumb as an oyster.
The Cincinnati Nominees.
The National Republican Convention met j
at Cincinnati on the 14th just., and closed its j
session on the evening of the 16th. After a]
two-days’heated contest between tbe adherents ;
uf Maine, Bristow, C inkling, Ilartranft, M >r
tou a d other presidential aspirants, the fol
lowing ticket was nominated: For President,.
Rush -f>r l B. Hayes, of Ohio: for Vice Pres
ident. Williaru A Wheeler, of New York.— !
The al vot being the seventh ballot) stood:
Hayes, 881; Blaine 851, Bristow, 21. The
platform, selected, can bo statod briefly: It (
demau Is st nly progress towards specie re
sumption; favors civil service reform in its
true sense, and the swift punishment of un
faithful officials; recommends a constitutional
amii l -.icnt against appropriations fur secta
rian - Lev!- ; oppos.-s further land grints to
rail reads; favors government protectiou of;
immigration; suggests an enquiry into the ,
allfg 1 i.jiri ms effect .f Chines.- importation,
<>a the Pacific coast: favors a respectful con- I
sideration of the Woman’s Suffrage plea; re
■ffirms the duty of suppressing polygamy ; ;
recognises the soldier’s claim ; deprecates sec- ;
tlocal strife ; arraigns Democracy as syuono
ii. u . in ch o a.ter and spirit, with treasou and
re belli o ; an 1 ii >mi 008 the present Executive •
with a kind iv< rd for his services,etc.
Of the n miinoes s >;ue slight notice may be
int.r t. ,g: liutherford l». Hayes, the present
g ivcrn r of Ohio, was bom in that State in
l*g‘.l, is a graduate of Kenyon Cdlegc and of |
the Cambiidge law school, an ! is a lawyer by !
profession, lie first held public office in 18oS |

the Union army fr.un ’Cl until near the war’s
close, in ‘<’4 he was tier ted t > Congress as a 1
republican from the 21 Ohio District by the
combined home and army vote, and two years j
later was re-elect J ; his re or I in the H use |
was a rath r silent, though an able one. In j
V,7 Mr lUyes was elevated t > the guberna
torial chair ly his party in Ohio, defeating i
Judge Thurman, the Democratic nominee.—
Later, be triumphed over Pendleton in the '
same C'.'Utest, and in X ivcmher last overcame •
the venerable Allen, by a small majority—in I
this issue, tho pr.; ipiwtion of the school j
(]ueeti >n into the political arena having, it is
conce ’ 1, abmo turned the scales in Lis favor.
With all this military and p ditical eminence,
the man is b at little known, outside of Ohio,
and its vicinage.

(From Our Oirn Correspondent)
Washington, Juno 20, 1870.
In the faintest of undertones I don’t mind
saving to yon that it is my’ firm intention to
desist entirely fjoai all s >rts of prediction*—po
litical, especially, from and alter this date.—
My l ist attempt in this regard was certainly
iny last, in a literal, 'not-by-any-means-to-be
misuuderstood sense. Mr. Blaine s presiden
tial aspirations, and your humble servant's po
litically-proplietic aspirations b”t!i went up
like a kite at tho very same moment. Figu
ratively speaking, 1 am knocked flat—to use
an homely phrase. Othello’s (would-be) occu
pation's gone, an<l as for the gentleman him
self, lie is almost “ gone” likewise,—gone, he
sha’nt say wi’crc.
Really, ! never knew before to what extent
the metamorphosed city of Washington was
peopled by fools—but the fact is now patent.
An energetic, irrepressible person (name un
known) has for the past three weeks been hold
ing forth on the roof of a certain building in
this city. His h. f., aforesaid, does not consist
of doing so with his tongue, (which is quite
well, perhaps, as his voice would probably be
entirely lost but in presenting, on temporary
framework, a species of dissolving views repre
senting various pleasing pictures ; one of tlx-sc
has, I should think, rather run the gauntlet
several times of these itinerant showmen’s pro
grammes: it represents a man with an heavy
black beard lying in his bed, while acrors the
couch ramble several rats, with marvellously
long caudal appendages, and who (1) proceed
to meander leisurely one after another, and
with dreary monotony into the man’s mouth
which, while seeming to be in the land of Nod,
he opens with mathematical precisi >n just in
the nick of time to receive these visitors into
his capacious jaws. When well taken in,as
unwary fools generally are, the sleeper’s jaws
si wly contract, shutting in the last vestige of
the rat’s tai—1 beg pardon—caudal appendage.
A finely displayed “ad.” of numerous city
firms sprinkles at short intervals the evening’s
performance. But now to the fools. There
they are, congregated on all available portions
of surrounding streets—six or seven hundred
stroug, gaping up at the free show, and indul
ging in such explanations as are common on
such silently impressive occasions. I certain
ly do pity these pieces of humanity. Aside
from the waste of time, how uicelv their strain
cd necks must feel when the showman up a
b ivc dismisses them \< itii bis appropriate sheet
sign,** Good Night.' ! A sensation, probably,
of abortive banging practised with each of
them—and with some rch'j, 0, Fate, does if
prove ubortive? And echo answers “why.”
I certainly can’t say why, but those congre
gated verdures, mentioned in several 1‘nder
tones, have lost all interest f..r me. No longer
are they beautiful and bright and balmy.—
One sweet memory is missed from them ; per
haps, ou this account, I weary of their beau
ties as you probably have long since wearied
< f this desultory talk from
Jkan Sands.
itishop Gibbons.
On Sunday morning last, Ri.-hop Gibbons,
who has been sojourning for n few days in
Harper's Ferry, preached to a large congrega
tion in St. I’eter’s Church. 11 is theme—the
ever welcome and instructive argumont. From
Nature up to Natures God, was possibly sug
gested, as it certainly well may have been, by
the magnificent scenery of the place. The large
audience, made up very much of persons—in
cluding clergymen—of other denominations,
was at once charmed and instructed ; and sure
ly. no one, in the least way impressionable,
could have l>ecn otherwise affected.
llarpor’a Ferry has always been fortunate
in its priesthood. Each pastor seems to have
been—personally and professionally—as amia
ble, as able, and as devoted to his sacred task
as the one that was before him. Father Kane
was surely a very difficult man for a stranger
to follow, and yet, Father Vundcrvyver, flic
present incumbent, has already earned f r him
self, and in the not genial and tina—urning
way, so much popularity with all classes of
people in the Ferry, that were he taken front
them they would already experience the old
regret at losing a great favorite.

CARD BY MEMBERS OF THE RICHMOND
CORN EXCHANGE.
We, tbc undersigned,- members of the Corn Ex
change, witnessed the operations of the Handel!
Grain Separator and Grader on difl'er*. nt sample*
of as bad mixtures as could well be provided : one
being a general mixture of about equal parts ol
v, heat, oats and corn from the drawers ol the
Corn Exchange. This sample was separated with
a« much case, rapidity and perfection, as the farm
ing mills of the day separate chaff. Another, se
lected on account of its peculiarly foul condition,
being sprouted, chcaty and at least twenty per
cent, cockle. This sample was handled at o»c
running to our perfect satisfaction, giving tiro
grades at the same running ; one a lair grade for
market, and the other a handsome grade, consist
ing of only the sound and heavy kernels, for seed.
The machine is not a mere fanning mill, nor a
mere separator for tilting grain fnrsecd, but both,
combining the rapidity of the tanning mill with
the perfection of a separator, which gives it ad
vantages decidedly important over any deaner
we have ever before seen.
Believing the general use of this machine will
materially enhance the Interest of the larmera, by
improving the price of their grain, and largely
increase the yield per acre, by the higher and pu
rer grade of reed it enables them to get, we cheer
fullv recommend its introduction.

M ANV machines called cnmlinetl are really
not so, having only one bar for both reap
ing and mow ing, and all practical farmers are
perfectly familiar with the fact that grass and
grain are so radically different in their nature
that the Cutting apparatus which is adapted to
the ottc if no* good for the other.
THE IMPROVED PRIZE MOWER
As a gras? cutter ha.4 no superior and very few
equals. Almost any Mower w illdo Well enough
on smooth meadow-land, where the growth is not
very heavy, but our Mower cuts equally well on
rough or smooth ground, and in thick, matted
grass or clover as well a* in thin, light stuff. The
draft is very light and being made ot the best
material Is riry durable, outwearing two and
sometime* throe of some other makes.
THE ADVANCE DROPPER,
Like the Improved Advance Self Raker, it is a
combined machine having two bars—one for reap
ing, cutting live feet wide—and is equally good
a Mower or a Keeper. We have improved it
this year by making the sheave with spaces in
which the links of the chain lit exactly, thus pre
venting any possibility of slipping or catching.
THE McCORMICK HARVESTER,
Notwithstanding the combined opposition of
every other manufacturer in the country, opposi
tion the most bitter and abusive, fought it.t way,
step by step, to the very front rank ot machine*
of its cia<*. Though it* fault* were magnified by
it* enemies, and defect* attributed to it w hich it
did not poss<->4, still it gave good satisfaction and
won the confidence of farmers. In conclusion, we
would add lliat all of tin se machines are made of
the most carefully-gelect'd material, and the
greatest care is used in their manufacture, so that
if you buy one of McCormick’s machines you can
be assured that you get an implement well con
strueted, of good material, ai.d upon w bich rou
can alwayarely under all circumstance*. And we
think there can be no question that it will be for
your interest to investigate th so machines thor
oughly before d'-ciding the question of the pur
chase of a machine.
These HARVESTERS are the Machines of to
day, and fill all the requirement* of the times.—
They are not the Machine* ot the “dead past.”
The genius of the inventor ha* developed with
the tears since he first astonished then odd with
his Harvester.
