Religious ReYiHals.

The secular as we'll as the Ecclesiastical
papers of the country, furnish the most
cheering intelligence, Of extensive revivals
of religion in the various Evangelical
churches of our State. At New Lisbon
we learn, that very gracious revival, in
the M. E. Church Of that place, has been
in progress for several weeks over one
hundred persons have made profession
Of faith liz Christ, and have united with
the church: Tho Baptist church in that
place, has also experienced encouraging
seasons Of grace. 1t is to be hoped that
the welI.meant efforts Of the faithful min.
listers of the Gospel, in New Lisbon may
be crowned with still greater success
There are many clever sinners in Lisbon,
who very much need the purifying infu-
ence of Gospel truth, 10 make them what
they ought to be. At New Philadelphia,
there is likewise an extensive revival in
progress, in the M. E.. Church, and also
in Bellair, Belmont county. The Yves.
tern NJ. Protestant of the lash inst, con.
tains accounts of many very gracious re-
vivals of the work of Grace in the M. P.
Church, hundreds have taken upon them
selves the obligations Of Christianity, by
having their names enrolled in the church
But what shall we say ofsteubenville
We have in this place number of talent
ed, and faithful ministers they have all
been laboring with zeal for the promotion
Of the cause of their master; but thus far,
with but little apparent success. Chris
tians should not become discouraged when
they do not witness the immediate fruits
Of their labor Of love. Many who for &
time turn away with Indifference, from
the invitations Of the Gospel, are subse'
quenily found submitting to the power o
Divine Truth, and trembling under The
denunciations of Gods holy law; the
bread has often been cast upon the waters,
and it has been "galhered after many
days."

Missouri STocKs.-The New York
Tribune of Saturday, says Of fridays
stock market: "Slocks were again very
active to day, and the market, though a
little unsettled at the close of the first
board, was upon a general scale very
strong throughout the day. Transact
ions in bonds were enormous, reaching
$2l2, 900 at the frs! board, and $54, 900
the second a total Of 1896, ,OOO--one of
the largest. If not the largest days bust.
ness done in bonded securities for many
months. The sales Of Missouri 6's alone
amounted to 1928, 900, at an advance Of
] per cent over closing prices Of yester-
day. This is one Of the most popular
state securities ON the list, both for spec
ulation and investment, and has attracted
especial attention of late. The message
Of the governor and The subsequent actor
of the Missouri Legislature, both mani
Testing firm resolution to uphold th,
credit and character Of the state, in pro
lection Of its bonded debt, have had thei
due influence in giving the securities
wide and highly favorable market"

A Blundering Administration


The telegraph informs US that the Ad.
ministration will cashier Com. Paulding
for interfering with Fillibuster WalkeI
after he had landed in Central America,
1t will be remembered that the steamer
Fashion, which carried Walker and his
men 10 Central America, passed right un.
der the stern Of the U. S. vessel stationed
there, and no opposition was offered to
the landing Of the Fillibusters.--FOr this
oversight the officer then in command o.
that vessel has been ordered hone, al
though there was no evidence that thai
officer had any idea Of the character o.
those on board the Fashion, or had any
warning that such an expedition was tt
be expected.
Thus it is, the officer who permitted
them 10 land, not knowing their character
is to be cashiered because he did not in
tsrfere, and the officer who did know
their character, and who took them pris
oners, is to be cashiered because he die
interfere.
So in the Kansas matter Secretary
Stanton was removed because he callet
the Legislature together, but the instruc
tions of Denver who succeeds Stanton
are that he mnst recognize the acts Of tha
Legislature. -CleveIdnd Herald.

Counterfeit NOtes. $l0O in Bogus
Gold Coin Recovered. Supposed
Headquarters Broken up.
The officers have for long time had
their eyes fixed on the Kentucky hotel,
corner of Front and Western Row, be-
lieving it to be headquarters for a gang Of
counterleiters. Preparations fora descent
were never fully projected until about 9
O'Clock yesterday morning, when Mar

merry. Hazen, Bleak, Worley, Fletcher,
Mount, HALEY, Fisher and Webster, paid
the hotel an official visit.
A portion of the force was stationed
around the house, with strict orders to
allow neither the ingress or egress Of any
one. Others Of the force then went in,
side, and commenced a strict, and as il
proved, highly satisfactory search
Some of the party went up stairs. others
remained, industriously, below. Those
above succeeded in finding in a carpet
sack belonging to, and in a room occu'
pied by young man named Everett, but
who rejoices in an alias, several packages
of counterfeit $5's and los on banks o
Pennsylvania and New York. One o
two packages were also found secreted il

by ayoung man and the son of the land

A Few Words for the Statesman.

We think our neighbor of the States
man, must be pretty we'll satisfied by
this time, that the Democratic party is
not units not "National party"-
that Democracy does not mean the same
thing North and Sou;h-that there are
shades Of difference, approaching in num-
ber to the varied hues of the rainbow
that squatter. sovereignty in the South is
very different animal from what it is
regarded in the North. Then, in truth
they must admit that Senator Douglass,
by the late stand he has taken against the
administration and the united slaveholding
and slave extending democracy of the
South has wrecked his hupes Of receiving
support from that section Of the Union in
the next National Convention, TO be held
in Charleston, South Csrolina-if indeed
such gathering is ever held which we
regard as doubtful While the South is
thus united against Douglass and squattel
sovereign!y--the Northern wing Of the
party is divided, the majority 60 with
Douglass now, and the minority with Ru-
chanan and the South.
Such being the case what do the Doug
lass men intend to do What does the
Statesman intend to do! Will they 60
with the South, Or remain as they are, in
opposition to it? These are questions
which we should like we'll to have an.
swered. They are. in our judgment,
practical and to the point and if the States
man has not given them consideration, il
is time it had. For as it now stands it is
in the position of a vessel sailing away
from safe harbor without its officers
having considered the consequences, OIL
made up their minds as 10 where they
were going, or what they were about
We have a ready solution to our inquiries
but we do not wish to volunteer it. W.
will merely say that the Northern De-
mocracy, represent by Douglass and the
Statesman, have got to join the Republi
cans, or 60 back to the South, or elst
sink,--Stdte Journal.

P The following extract, from For
ney's Press, we heartily endorse as be.
ing the true and just position ofevery true
Democrat and American in Ohio.
II the elective franchise can be mutila-
ted in Kansas, and the act approved by a
Democratic Congress, why not in other
States and Territories, until at length the
right of suffrage, the sacred privileges Of
every American citizen, shall be ,Oithheld
altogether, and our government, instead
of resting upon the will ofthe people sink
gradually and imperceptibly into milli-
tary oligarchy or despotisml The right
of suffrage must be maintained at all
hazards. 1t cannot be triaed with with i'm
punily. II must be upheld in all its free.
dom. No shackles can be placed upon
it. The Government, must be founded
on the consent Of the governed and that
principle must be extended to Kansas as
it exists in every other State.
Most extraordinary is the position that
we can deprive the people of Kansas at
this time of the right 10 make their own
Government, and permit the minority to
establish Constitution for them, because
at some future period, unknown and inde.
fina,e, by revolution, by civil war, or 9th.
erwise, the people may overthrow gov
ernment and establish one Of their owr
choice. Even the poor pretext that lhii
would settle the Kansas question and TAXI
: it out of the halls Of Congress, is utterly
, unfounded in fact. 1t would not setll,
|, the Kansas question nor would it take j
: out of the halls of Congress, or from .h'
State, Congressional or Presidential elec
tions--no, it would be attended by civi
! war, by conflict between the people O
!, Kansas and the Federal army, and
: would bring the question back in its mos
! direfnl form into every election.
would render still more exasperated th
discussions in Congress, and threaten tn
! ! existence of the Government itself. VIII
= then bring such calamilies upon the cour
