KOCX ISIiAJTD,. .1U.1HOIS. Tueslty. October 30. 1S77 How Harlan Secured flia Nomination. If there were do other considerations to influence Mr. Hayes in withholding or re fusing to nominate Jno. M. Harlan, of Kentucky, for the seat on the supreme bench made vacant by the resignation of Judge Davis, the disgraceful manner in which he (Ilarlan) went around seeking endorsements on his application for the position, ihould have been all sufficient It is well known that Harlan and Bristow have been friends of long standing, aad law partners for many years and it has also been said that Harlan's nomination is due to Briatow'B influence. , Singularly enough, thitfsfar from the truth, as is ex plained below from a correspondent at Washington, who is in a position to know. In the first place, it is not usual for per sons seeking high judicial appointments to file a regular application and back it up with letters of endorsement, petitions, &c, as is done in tho case of the appointment of a marshal or a collector of customs. But Ilarlan, it seems, filed a regular ap plication at the department of justice, and Las worked up influence just as a political striker would his backing when after petty Federal office. Again, the manner in which Harlan worked up his influence was a little out of the usual order. The VV shiogtpn correspondent referred to sayr: la the south it seems that he circulated quietly among Bristow's friends in Ken tucky the story that the place had been tendered to Bristow, but ho did not want it; he did not want to be shelved on the supreme bench. At the same time Ilarlan intimated that he would like the place himself, and that Bristow wanted him to get it, and would use his influence in that direction. Next it was told that Bristow had written a letter to Hayes, saying that he did not want the appointment, but he did particularly desire his lifelong Iriend and distinguished law partner, John M Harlan, to get it. After these stories had been quietly and discreetly circulated. Harlan sent about his petitions, for Bris tow's friends to eign them. He also got letters from them, and these were for warded at once to Washington. Wher ever any of Bristow's warmest friends were to be found in Kentucky or out of it, applications were made to them on the ground that Bristow particularly desired Harlan's appointment, and of course they responded heartily. Thus it happened that Harlan worked up his case on Bristow's influence without BriHtow's knowledge. When Bri9tow found out what had been going on ho was of course very indignant, and he ceased to have any relations what ever with Harlan. His friends were also incensed when they ascertained how they had been imposed upon, and they took care to let the president know it. But, very much to their surprise, the president was more favorably inclined toward Ilarlan when he learned the fact? than he was be fore. Hence Bristow's friends conclude that Hayes did not care much about pleas ing Bristow, and that he was rather glad to have an excuse for not giving Bristow nnvthiiiL'. The appointment of Harlan will of course give Hayes an excellent ex- cust) f'r letting llnstnw severely nlono. and then, it h:s friends complain, Lo can an- ftwer thut he ai pointed Bristow's uearest friend to it high office, and of course he cun't take two uieu from the same state and give them first-class places. rrt . . i 1 1 I;. . I l here nas juu ncen maue puunu & iuu- ny incident of the recent Ohio election Mr. John C. Covert, of the Cleveland lander, was running for the Legislature on the Republican ticket, when it was re called by the opposition managers that in June, 1STC, he had written a very gensi hie artide on Cheap Living, an article in which he showed, with the ability of Miss Juliet Corson, that a soup could be made at a cost of six cents for peas, onions usparagus, spinach and a small beef bone which the butcher was almost willing to give awuy, a soup that was savory and iiutriti us and would make a meal for poor mail's family. Mr. Covert was there on usuiled as "the soup-bone candidate,' who thought that refuse beef-bones were good enough for American workinsmen cartoons presented him as ladling out soup in exchange for working men's votes, or as running down the working men armed with a soup bone and a syringe charged with broth. Tho result was that it took the official count to decide that lit; was elected by some twenty votes, though his district weut lie publican by a large majority Rapids City Letter. IIapids City. Ills., Oct. 2Gth, '77 F. Synder and Henry Eaton are building flat boats preparatory to a trip down the Mississippi. I). J. Morris is building an addition to Ins house on llnrd street. No one is building any sidewalks yet, however, that we can see. The Sunday school convention at Port Lyrou was very well attended; several speakers from llock Island were there. A uioeting was neld here aiuo, Dut not many were out to attend it. Nothing looks so sad as to see the husband and father beastly drunk in saloon, and the wife and child home sick in bed. and no one to care for them. Such a tight was witnessed here a few davs ago, and parties who went after the father and husband found him incapable of realizing the situation of his wife and child. The case speaks for itself. The case of A. D. Cox, vs. the road com misioners of Hampton township, came up on VV eunesuav. and the case was adiourn ud to Port Byrou, there not being any suitable place tor hold'ng the trial. The case was the petition of A. D. Cox and others to have a certain cross road closed, and the commissioners decided adveisely and Mr. Cox appealed from their decision of the case. Standing on "the margin of an unknown sea," with all the blessings, the many joys, the little jars and discords, and all the hopes aud trials of married life, Mr. Charles Shulcr and Miss Jennie Gilchrist plighted their faith in each other unto death, Mr. Shuler is (a promising young man, of about twenty one years of ago, and an old resident of Rapids City, as is also his wife, Miss Jennie Gilchrist, now Mrs. Shuler. Miss Gilchrist is a daughter of our prominent coal operator, Mr. Hugh M. Gilchrist, and is a beautiful blonde of about sixteen years of age. Charley said that as Johnny Gilchrist had taken his sister away he could do no more than retali ate and so he took Johnny's. We wish the young couple a happy and properous voyage, that their ship may steer olear and always float in deep water. Charley giyes a danco in honor of the event and deals out with a liberal hand the requisites in a successful marriage and a nappy time. but do not forget the father who in now lett alone; we mean Mr. GilchrUt. That ho will iu time take unto hiiunelt that which no man can be happy without, namely a wife, I do not doubt. Bat while he is alone, call on him and cheer him up occasionally, and impress on him the idea or being made as happy as yourselves. Mr. and Mrs. Shuler have a, house all prepared for their reception, and will com mence business at once. Who is next? Gilchrist & Co. have about eight hundred feet of their right of way graded and. ready for the rails. If the weather holds favor able the grading will all be done in Uo weeks more. George, a young Hon of Mr. Weaver, of this place.died this afternoon of brain fever. He has beea sick for some time and but little hopes were had of his recovery. I should like to hear from Mr. Sturgeon: IIow it is about this: When Rapids City built the present school house Mr.Sturgeon undertook the sale of the bonds, some thing like $1,500 worth, and before the matter was fairly settled he sold the bonds to third parties at a discount of five per cent, when parties were ready to take them at par. As soon as the matter of issuing these bonds were satisfactorily settled, he was very anxious to get these bonds on and very anxious to rocket that five per cent discount, as wo are given to understand that he no doubt did, as his fees for forcing this village to assume the bonds. 1 he residents were discussing new way, but Mr. Sturgeon Bold the bonds and closed all appeal. VV hy did he sell at five per cent discount? if he could have sold them at rar? Unless he Bold them at par and told this little community that he was obliged to discount five per cent, to raise the money, by that means making about seventv-five dollars. J his is the story as I get it. How is it Mr. Sturgeon? "To be (so) or not to be (so)," that is the question. D. L. C.
