JEREMIAH BENIN, Principal.

THE above Institution was established in
1883, and has been in successful operate n for
over four years, with a gradual increase in
the number of students; which is sufficient
evidence of the merits Of tho School.
The Rooms will compare fayorably with
any similar institution in the country for
comfort and convenience.
The advantages presented for acquiring a
thorough and practical Commercial Educa-
ton are equal, if not superior to any School
East or West. Young men can acquire a
practical knowledge of business here in a
few months, that would necessarily require
years in n counting house.
A thorough course OF lessons in this School
can be completed in from six to twelve weeks
depending altogether on the capacity, bust
ness experience, perseverance and industry o.
the student.

are blessed with auumerous progeny--they
can atford it--their wives know how to
work, and 70 take care Of the earnings Of
their husbands This is all right There
is a providence in it, Fashionable people
---npstnrts, who have neither money nor
brains--o,fght not to marry at all; because
they will always be miserable themselves
and their children doubly So Hence, we
feel disposed to encourage this system of
paying high premiume to equestrians, and
low ones to bread-makers.
For our own part, we belong to the cold
fogies." We have wife who can do any
kind of house.work, and is never ashamed
to be seen at work. Our home is an hum
bic one; but ii is as happy as it is humble,
and we expect to have better ono some
day, if our ''down-hillers" will only fork
over what they owe us. We believe ou,
better-half is also the best equestrienne in
Meigs county, But, with our present old
fogy notions, while we should feel proud
to record the fact that she had taken the
first or second premium for bread making,
we should blush up to the tip of our nose
to learn that she was competitor for a
prize, in the ring. But then, of course all
men are not old fogies, like ourself and
female equestrianism looks very pretty
While, therefore, we have expressed our
own views freely, we would not wish to
have others governed thereby; aud we
hope these remarks may not be considered
lmpertinent.

The RAILROAD ACoIDENr.-In addition
to those heretofore mentioned as being
killed by the late accident on the Marietta
and Cincinnati railroad, both of DR.. Bull
lard's sons and Mr.. E. Plumley, have since
died of their wounds. The others are
slowly recovering.
The coroner's jury rendered the follow
ing verdict:
1st. That the accident did not have its
origin ID any want of care and skill on the
part OF the conductor or engineer.
I'd. That the accident was caused by
the failure of the forward truck of the
passenger car to accommodate itself to the
straight line after being set to the curve,
as 1t passed on the trestle.

alarming manner. At Merret two native

three more native regiments.

Ge" Yesterday, the State of Ohio paid
over fourhundred thousand dollars. being
the semi-annual interest on her foreign
debt. lt isa matterof special qualification
that we have ever met our engageinents to
the letter. Notwithstanding The shock
which the discovery Of the condition Of
our Treasury gave the people, the good
name and credit of the State were SO dear
to every citizen, that no one permitted
himself to doubt that the July interest
would be promptly paid. Our Fund Com
missioners acted as the emergency re-
CURED. Men of capital at once stepped
forward, and advanced whatever was neces-
sary for the occasion Not only is the
interest promptly paid, but the new Treas
urer has made ample arrangements by
which all the current expenses of the State
will continue to be met as they are pre-
sented. This is gratifying to our State
pride, and demonstrates the confidence o.
our solid men in the resources and integ-
rity of the S:atc.--Stdte Jour.

OUGHT Nor THE BANK BILL TO BE
ADoPTED.-By the quarterly Bank State
ment of the Auditor Of State, we learn that
the total banking capitol of Ohio is but
$500, 800. Massachusetts has bank
ing capital Of over s69, 9,000,O 900. Rhode
Island-no larger than one of Ohio's coun-
tics-has over 500, 100000. Little Con-
necticut has $18,OOO,0O0. New Jersey
over Ss5. 700, 600 and yet Ohio, larger
than all these combined, has less than Sc, =
100000. Providence, with population
of At, 500, has over $4,000 900 banking
capital, while Cleveland, with $4,000
people, has $4,000 in banking capital
Cincinnati, with population of 16O, 900,
has still less, to-wit: $321,875 In view
of these facts, we hope the people Of Ohio
will see the mportance--almost the ne
cessity-of adopting the bank bill which
will be submitted to them in October 1t
is good system-almost the same as that
which has been in operation in the State
during the last twelve ycars-and under
which nobody has ever lost a dollar

Y y L
JUDGE NAsiI--A correspondent of the
Ohio State Journal very strongly urges
the nomination of Hon. Simeon Nash, of
Gallla county, for Supreme Judge, by the
Republicans. The Cincinnati Gazette very
heartily seconds themotion. Several rea-
sons are given why this nomination ought
to be made. We propose to give few
reasons why the nomination ought NOT to
be made. }l
I. Judge Nash was elected last fall for
second time, as Common Pleas Judge in
this District, and his term will not expire
for several years to come. If his services
on the bench are so very valuable, we
think the people of this district, having
duly appreciated those services by re-elect-
ing him, should not now be deprived Of
them. We think man might be found
who is not at present an office-holder, that
would answer the purpose tolerably well.
2. Judge Nash was elected last fall in
opposition to tie regular Republican monsi
nee. Although claiming to be Republi-
can, he was elected mainly by Democratic
votes-the Republicans pretty generally
voting for his competitor.
3. The county from which he halls is
strongly opposed to Republican sentiments,
although formerly Wing, and Judge Nash
is strongly suspected Of entertaining anti
Republican views on the great question of
Slavery.
4. The Republicans of Southeastern
Ohio are generally Temperance men, and
in favor of enforcing the laws on that SUBJ
ject. The people of Gallia county are no.
toriously MOI so; and decisions recently
made have created the suspicion in the
minds of many that Judge Nash sympa-
thiZes with his Gallia friends on that sub
ject
Although we believe Judge Nash to be
an able jurist, good citizen, an excellent
man, yet we think his name on the Repub-
lican State ticket this fall would add no
strength to that ticket in this section of
the State. We are quite certain it would
not in this county.

COUNTY FAIR PosTPoNED.-Siuce the
Premium List was printed, the Board Of
Directors have concluded to postpone the
Fair for one week, on account of the State
Fair, which takes place in Cincinnati, on
10Th, 10th, I7th, and 18th of September.
The Fair in this county, therefore, will be
on the 23l and 94th days of September,
which will give those who desire it an op-
portunity to attend both.
Tho U. S. Agricultural Society hold
their Fair at Louisville, commencing on
the 1st of September

A LITERARY GEM.-The first article
on the first page, entitled "Without and
Within" was received through the post
office, in manuscript, without any other
signature than that attached. We know
not the authors name. IF it is original
aoih oar correspondent, there is no occa-
sion for such secresy. The lady or gem
tleman who can clothe such thoughts in
such drapery, need not fear to let his or her
name be known to the public, much less to
the editor: But whether it shall please the
author to withhold his name or not, we
should be thankful for more of his plo-
ductions. We pronounce the composition
a literary gem.

The MARKETs.-Farmers are now in
the midst of their harvesting, and the low
water in the river has nearly suspended
navigation; consequently, business is dull
in PomerOy at present. The penny-wise
policy of our merchants, in saving the ex-
pense of advertising has encouraged the
establishment of numerous stores through
out the county, nearly all of which are
prosperous, having mostof the farming Gus
tom, while our own merchants RELY mainly
upon town trade; consequently the harvest
dullness creates less change than formerly.
Since our last, cherries, raspberries, and
potatoes have ripened, and been brought
to town, though not in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the demand. Cherries and
raspberries sell at 8@lO per quart, and
new potatoes at S per bushel. The first
potatoes brought in sold for 50; but prices
have declined. No cucumbers have vel
made their appearance. In other articles,
no change worth noticing
Meigs County telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy [Ohio]) 1848-1859, 1857-07-14

A FALL IN R.-Notwithstandn
the continued advance in the prices OF su-
gar, there is reason to hope for decline
when the fall crops come in. A dealer
who has taken great pains to inform him
self as to the cause of the present high
prices, says that they are attributable to
the fact that the supply on hand is mainly
held by a company of spectators who
have obtained the monopoly of the market,
rather than to any great scarcity of the
article itself. Enormous quantities are
said to be in the Custom House warehouse
in New York and Boston. The Rotbs-
childs are largely interested in the move
ment; and of course, with their immense
resources they need not be forced to sell
To keep up the prices many months lon
ger, however they will be obliged to go
into the speculation deeper by millions on
1t is hard for money combinations to
fight against NATURES prolific competition,
i'll the way of abundant crops.-San. Reg

The TEMPERANCE LAW. = A friend,
writing from the western part of the county,
says the temperance men there are wide
awake, and are endeavoring to enforce the
Liquor Law; but have met with obstacles.
For instance, he says, GA suit was brought
before magistrate against little pug
nosed 1rishman, for selling liquor to man
in the habit of getting intoxicated. The
fact of the sale, and the habit of intoxica-
tion was proved to the satisfaction of the
court; but the defendant was discharged,
because the prosecutors failed to prove
that the liquor-scller knew that the buyer
was in the habit of getting intoxicated"
Our correspondent wakes warm over this
defeat, and asks a great many questions,
one or two Of which, we propose to an
swer, briefly:
!. What authority had the magistrate
to release the defendant on those grounds?
We answer, that ip January, 1855, the Su.
preme Court of Ohio held that to convict
for violation Of the Sd sec. it is necessary
to prove guilty knowledge on the part of
the seller. This decision we reviewed at
length in the Telegraph at the time; and
although We still look upon it rs absurd
and ridiculous, we think the magistrate
did right in respecting it, as it has never
been reversed.
9. What can temperance men do to en-
force the law? Our own opinion is that
it is better to bring all violations of this
law directly to the notice of the Grand
jury. The removal of jurisdiction in mi
nor offcnses to the Common Pleas has
given the Grand Jury cognzance of these
cases. We cannot promise any better sue
cess, however.
3. What is the use in having temperance
legislatures and temperance judges? A
great deal-if we could only once elect
such. The present good-for nothing law
was enacted by as drunken a set of Loco
focos as ever assembled in Columbus.
The Supreme Court that made the decis
ion above referred to were all Locofocos of
the whiskey stripe. The last Legislature,
although boasting majority of temper
ance men, contained a large number Of
trimn'ers, who were afraid to vote on eli
ther side of the question; and, although
we continually urged upon them the pro-
priety of acting upon an excellent bill, pre-
pared with great care, they as constantly
d0dged the measure, and finally adjourned
without doing anything on that subject
leaving the whole matter just where they
found it. For our own action, we refer to
the record. But of this, more anon.

Republican state eonvcntion.

at meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee, in conjunction with
the Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture, and other distinguished Republicans
from various parts of the State at Column
bus on the 18th of January, 1857 after
mature consideration, it was resolved that
IL was expedient TO hold the State Conven-
sion of the Republican party of Ohio for
the nomination of State Ticket at CO.
iumbus, on the 18th ofAugust next.
In contormity to this request, the State
central Committee announce to the Re-
publlcans of Ohio, that the delegates from
the various counties of the State, will as
semDle IN the city of Columbus, on
EDNESDAY, THE 18TH OF AU-
GuSE NEXT, at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, for
the purpose OF putting in nomination can
didates for the following offices: for Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretery OF
Slate, Treasurer of State, one Supreme
Court Judge, and one member of the
Board of Public Works, and the transac-
tlon of such other business as may be prop
or for the occasion.
The Republicans of the several counties
OF Ohio, unless they shall otherwise agree,
VIII meet at their county seats on Satur-
day, the 9th day of August, being the
Saturday preceding the day of said State
Convention, and elect delegates thereto in
the proportion of one delegate to every
five hundred votes given for the Republi-
can candidate for President at the election
III November, 1856, and one for each frac-
tion of votes equal to, or over one half of
said number. The total number of dele
gates by this basis will be 377.
Here followsa table showing the mum Der
OF delegates which each county is entitled
to, from which we perceive that Meigs is
entitled to FOUR delegates. The call is
