> THE MILITIA LAW.

Mr. Editor: | have noticed an effort on the part
of some to do Mr.. E. Archbold injustice by con-
meeting him with the odious militia law, which
passed the last session of the Ohio legislature
Mr.. John Hampton Lt,cis has been prompted
by his zeal for the cause of truth, 10 send by mail
for copy of the Journal of the House Of Repre-
sentatves, that he might learn the truth as to Mr.
Archbolds Course on the passage Of the militia law
Having been favored with the journals by Mr.
Lewis, find, on page 524, the vote on the final
passage of the bill, and Mr., Archbold's name is
recorded among those who voted against it. Mr..
A. has uniformly denied having voted for the bill,
and asserted that he argued against il on the floor
Of the House Of Representatives that il was sub.
ect to constitutional objections; that it was unnec.
essary and inexpedient, and uncalled for by the
peoples that ts operation was unjust and unequal,
and that our taxes are already enormous and exor-
bitant. Why it is, that an effort has been made to
connect Mr.. Archbold with this justly odious bill,
I am al loss to know, unless 1t has been done for
the purpose of connecting his popularity with the
unpopularity Of this bill, and thereby rendering
him as odious as the bill.
regard the circulation Of such ridiculous
falsehoods on a par with much of the political
slang used against all faithful servants of the peo-
pie It is much to be deplored that political aspi-
rants attempt to ride into Office by eliminating
their opponents. Efforts are making to foster ibis
false charge upon Mr.. Archbold by exhibiting gar.
bled portions Of the journals; but let no man be
deceived when he wishes to see Mr.. Archbold's
vote on the final passage of the bill; LET him look
on page 524, and there he will see his name re-
corded against IL hold myself responsible for
The truth Of The above statement as to Mr., Arch

TRENTON, N. j. MARCH D, 1888.
Gentlemen: On my way to the cars for this
place this morning, l received your note Of invita-
ton to attend meeting of our fellow citizens at
Newark tomorrow evening, on the subject of the
late duel at Washington. sincerely regret that
my professional duties here will detain me from
the meeting for if euer an occasion called for an
oppression af public fesling, the late scenes of
SHOCKING VIOLENCE most solemnly demand
il. Truly 'the blood of war has been shed in
peace;" and this in high places and among the
lawmakers Of our country.
THE LAW OF THE DUELIST is AN OUT
RAGE UPON EVERY PRINCIPLE OF Or
DER AND HUMANITY. IT SETS THE
LAWS OF GOD AND THE INSTITUTIONS
OF A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AT DEFIANCE
and If ifthislMURDEROUs SPIRIT be not met
and firmly and fearlessly REBUKED by the
fro,cns Of public sentiment ON ourselves ,oiH abide
much Of the guilt qfMURDER. Itcan be check
ed and efiectually repressed, whenever the people
true to theiI high duties shall rise in the majesty of
public opinion, and Jro,cn upon these ATTRO-
CIOUS DEEDS OF VIOLENCE; and The blood
Of the MURDERED, the tears Of the bereaued,
aod the commands of a righteous God, eaA upon
them aoaD to speak, and bear their stern and n,dig-
rant testimony against this HEAVEN DARING
SIN.
i hope, gentlemen, that your meeting and pro-
ceedings may exert powerful influence, and with
kindred demonstrations all over the land, prevail
to crush this alarming evil. ss
Very respectfully, ats
