Brutal ASSAULT. I'VE regretted
to hear that Col. Gaisford, the Edi-
tor of the Balloon, was most violently
assaulted and beaten in his office, on
Saturday night, by a man who was
accompanied by s~o others. We
have seldom heard of a more uncalled
for and unwarrantable attack. Col.
Gaisford is one of the most inofensive
and good-natured men in this commu-
nifty, and would be the last willingly
to injure any one. 1t appears he had
playful advertisement for a wife in
his last paper, signed Augustus B
Some person bearing similar name,
took it to himself at once, and without
investigation, proceeded to assault the
gentleman who had the audacity t.
use this name. We understand the
Colonel has instituted legal proceed
ings against his assaulters, and his
friends are determined to see that full
justice be done to his assailants.
The Colonel's left arm is so bruised
and wounded that it is almost useless.
As one Of the craft, we do not mMd
having shy at Johns Balloon, but
We shall not stand quietly by and see
him abused by outsiders, without say
ing word in his behalf.-Ptcayuue

By whom his question is presented
the Committee is not informed, but
waving formality, we will express the
following opinion, viz: AS the sections
in question prescribe the rules under
which the Division allows benefits to
Its members, and as this whole SUBJ
iect has by the National Division
been placed under the control Of sub
ordinate Divisions, we believe said
sections to be constitutional, and here
with submit a resolution in accordance
with such opinion.
Resolred, That Art. Nv. Of the by
laws of Painesville Division, No. $50.
regulating the dues and benefits of
sain Division, is hereby approved as
constitutional.

cash for the same, which cash was &C
counted for by me to the Grand Divi-
sion. Without searching through the
day book for further entries. the jour
nal not being present, | call attention
TO the following entry
"Day Book, page 5S3; Cash ac-
count to Tract taccount Dr., for amount
received from No License tracts and
tickets, S36.00." 20
The voucher for the above is not
here, but / believe that az least ten
dollars Of the amount was for said
tickets.
Now, as the cash account is charged
to the G. S., the above was of course
accounted for by me. | trust, there
fore, that the Grand Division will do
justice to Bro. Mitchell and myself in
the matter. sfa8aha

to the subject that consideration which
its Importance demands, and submit

ton, the following resolutions
ResolUed, That in denouncing the
manufacture Of, and traffic in, intoxi
eating liquors as q beverage, and in
uniting with our fellow citizens to Sc
cure their utter abolition, we contend
only for our natural, inalienable and
constitutional rights.
ReSolred, That the physical, pecu-
mary, intellectual, social and moral
condition of the whole people Of Ohio
would be greatly elevated and blessed
by the banishment Of grogshops; and
to secure this desirable end, we most
cheerfully yield (when necessary our
political preferences. and unite with
those who are in favor Of legal prohi-
bition.
ResOyved, That we, the representa-
tives of our respective Divisions,
when we return to our homes, will en-
ter our several fields Of labor with
zeal and determination, to do what
may be in our power to remove all
the causes Of intemperance from our
State.
Resolved, That we will act with
prudence and moderation, respecting
the rights of all, but wi h firm and
resolute purpose to submit no longer
in silence to the cruel and merciless
wrongs of the inhuman traffic in in
toxicating drinks.
ReSolVed, That we heartily approve
Of the movements Of the State Tenn
perance Executive Committee in re-
commencing the organization of AL
liances, to secure a Legislature which
will enact a stringent law, prohibiting
the manufacture of and traffic in in
toxicating liquors as beverage, and
that we will cooperate with all asso-
Citations having this object in view.
Resolved, That a committee of sew
en- be appointed by this Grand Divi-
sion, to draft circular and forward
the same to each Of the subordinate
Divisions, recommending to them
system of operations, by which they
may aid in the accomplishment Of the
result contemplated BY these resolu-
tions.
Bros. J. B. Thompson, Warren
Jenkins, J. J. Janney, and Peter Sells
of Columbus, G. N. Olds and William
Bremigam of Circleville, and Henry
Blandy of GAINESVILLE, were appointed
the committee in pursuance of the
sixth resolution.
Bro. Swain offered the following
resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Grand Division
recommend to the several subordinate
Divisions under our charge, to so alter
their bylaws, as to admit persons
who have been connected with Dlvl-
sions which have gone down, and who
have procured cards of withdrawal
from their several Divisions, or cards
of clearance from this Grand Divi-
sion, without the payment OF the reg
lar initiation fee, on such terms as to
benefits as they may regard eqdi-
table.
Bro. J. B. Thompson offered the
following resolution, which was adop-

Divisions which have SO kindly come
to our relief by contributions, have our
warmest thanks; and such as have
not already made contributions are
respectfully solicited to do so, that the
burden may be more equally distrib-
uted among all.
Your Committee are informed by
the G. s., that many Of the suborrdi-
nate Divisions have unsettled accounts
with the Grand Division, in which
there are small balances due the Grand
Division; we would, therefore, recon-
mend that the G. S. be instructed to
make out accounts against all subordi-
nate Divisions which are in arrears to
the Grand Division, and send to them
for payment.
Respectfully submitted.

Bro. Duncan, from the Committee
on the State of the Order, submitted
the following report which was adopt
ed:
REPORT.
The Committee on the State of the
Order, have had under consideration
the documents that were put into their
hands, and would represent that the
reports Of the G. W. P and the G. s.
are so full and satisfactory, as entire
ly to supersede the necessity of a long
and labored production at our hands.
The data submitted to us, clearly in
dicates the following things attained
or attainable: Va d.
lst. That with few exceptions, the,
subordinate Divisions throughout our
jurisdiction, are in a more healthful
and vigorous condition, more fully
appreciate, and more directly aim to
accomplish the grand object Of their
organization, than at any former pc.
Rod.
end. That the doctrine of the con-
fscation and destruction of all intoxi-
eating beverages, and the entire pro-
hibition of the traffic in the same, By
Ian, has become a fundamental arti
Gle in the creed Of the Order.
3rd. That while we hail every in
dication of progress toward this end,
we can be satisfied with nothing short
of its complete attainment.
4th. That so strongly are the hearts
Of our membership set on this, that
they are willing generally to sacrifice
their old party ties and preferences,
in order to secure Legislature favor
able to the speedy enactment oflaws,
embracing the characteristic features
of the Name Liquor Lar.
In view Of our present position, your
committee would recommend the
adoption Of the following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the grand and pri-
mary object which, in the onward
progress of our cause, now presents
itself to our Order, is the legal prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic.
ResoIred, That the highest prosper
ity of the Subordinate and Grand Di-
visions of Ohio, requires their renewed
and untiring efforts for the full attain
ment Of this object.
Resolved, That the facts, reasoning
and experience, which simple truth,
in relation to this matter, furnishes, are
adapted 10 awaken the people to the
Importance Of cool, deliberate and de-
termined action, and therefore, that
we and all the friends of temperance,
have every encouragement to labor for
the formation of correct popular SEN
timent, being confident Of speedy and
entire success.
Resolved, That the G.. D. deeply
sympathize with our beloved brother,

REPORT.
The Finance Committee, to which
was referred the report Of the G. S.,
have examined the same, and find all
correct. Z
From the 6. T,'s report, which was

Your Committee have also had un-
der consideration the memorial of Bro.
Sherwood, your former G. s., and
from an examination of that paper, and
its comparison with the book, they
are unanimously Of opinion that the
conclusion TO which he arrives is cor
rect; that he received fir the sale of
the tickets, and accounted for to the
Grand Division, a greater sum than
he paid out for them and that the
Grand Division ought, in justice, to
pay for them, as they have already
been more than remunerated, Your
Committee would, therefore, recon-
mend that an order be drawn on the
Treasury in favor of Bro, Mitchell for
$1,000, the amount of his bill for the
tickets, and which has not been paid.
The outstanding debts of the Grand
Division, as far as your Committee
can ascertain, are as follows:
Amount due National Div. $535.87
Amount due Bro. Mitchell on
orders, 1895
AulOulI hUONO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to be paid, 1000
Making 725.l2
Your Committee would further re-
commend that Bro. Mitchell's claim
be Immediately paid out Of the cash
on hand, and that whatever amount
remains be paid over to the National
Division; and also that the G. s. be
directed to pay over to the National
Division, towards extinguishing the
debt, whatever money may come into
his hands over and above what may
be necessary for current expenses, at
the end Of each quarter. ..o-s..,.,,..

mEssRs. COLEMAN AND cAsK1E.

The Democratic newspapers of this city and
their correspondents have essayed from the be
ginning of the canvass to heap ridicule on the
Wing candidate for Congress in this district and
to disparage his intellectual qualifications. Mr.
Coleman's alleged inferiority to his Democratic
competitor 10 speaking powers has been favo-
rite theme of derision with our opponents Now
we should be glad to be informed what benefit
the people of this district have ever derived
from Judge Caskie's oratory on the floor OF Con-
gress. On what public question did he ever ele-
vate his voice there, except when he roseto make
an explanation of his position on the river and
harbor bill Mr.. Csskie's friends seem to think
that his oratorical abilities constitute high
qualification for sent in Congress, but if he never
displays these abilities in his representative ca
pacity, we are at loss to see how the mere pos
session of them gives him any claim on the votes
of the people. We have never claimed that Mr.
Coleman was Cicero or a Chatam, but we can
safely venture to predict that if elected he will
make as many and as good speeches in the next
Congress as Judge Caskie did in the last.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

We are gratiied to learn that Col Thomas NJ
Boudurant, of Buckingham, declines standing a
poll for Commissioner of the Board of Public
Works in the 1st District. The contest will
therefore be between Mr.. Thomas H. DAME /,
the Political Machine" caucus candidate, and
Col. Thos. J. Boyd, an independent candidate
who though Democrat, is nevertheless fl m,
consistent and enlightened friend of the policy
of internal improvement, and man above the
petty influences of party politics. No Wing ia
the District can now hesitate as to his duty
Mr.. Daniel has been nominated by the Demo-
cratic caucus not because he is an ardent and en-
lightened friend of internal improvement, but
because he is safe party man, one who it is
fair to presume will not scruple to make the
Board political machine" Let the Wings
of the East then, unite with the Independent De.
mocrats of the Southwest and secure the election
of Col. Boyd. This result we are assured, can
be easily attained if the Wings will only 60 to the
polls and vote against the caucus nominee
