At last the watch turns up, arnMii a way that certainly seems to be settling. A negro nanuxl Alfred Cook, living in Albany, Ga., showed a watch to some one, who was astonished at bis having such a fine one.

HUM or MAN DO IN Ml l IlISLTt'> Some people seem to think that Mr, Hayes has been the innocent tool in the hands of designing limn ; that while lie bms been elevated to the first place in the nation by a atupeaddous fraud, himaelf was not a party to tho base scheme. We cannot think so. Indeed such an effort to save bis honesty is but a poor cenipiiiueut to his intelligence. — He cannot have kept posted with the course of events for the three months following the election without becoming apprised of the fact that his election was a matter of varv “ grave doubt.— M hat has since - transpmsjJ, , must, if , he , have the least candor, have convinced him that be certainly was not elected, He continues to exercise ihe functions of an office to which he must be morally certain that be was not chosen. Were he au innocent dupe in the beginning, be can no leuger urge that plea. Be is ioaiu-edSy guilty of usurpation, and evm hour i add?><g (o his guilt. Had be been really an honest naan he would never have entered the White House, or having entered it through a inisappre hension, he would now that the facts are more fully known, instantly leave it. There neves was a Oner opportunity for the disjilay of moral heroism.— Should Mr. Hayes, obeying the dictates more patent be has no just claim, the act would give him a far greater fame than he is likely to acquire in any other way. It would place him far ahead of who simulated a refusal of the kingly crown which he had already virtually grasped with bloody hands, and place him alongside the illustrious father of his country who coveted no object of ambition which was incom patiWe w.th the interests of his fellow citizens. The moral influence of such an act would be incalculable. It would ■ tend to make honesty fashionable. It would 1* a most withering rebuke to those who engage in base schemes to party triumphs, and might render s „ c |, intrigues as odious to the people as they deserve to lie. •.* - , ' jiut such speculations are vat*. 5fr.
