murder in the Navy.

Occasional reports of outrages commit
ted by officers on our naval vessels show
that the barbarism of that service has not
yet been wholly reformed away. The Cal
ifornia papers give an account of the cruel
treatment and consequent death of a sailor
on board the United States ship ST. Mary's,
at More Island, on the 23d of May. Tho
officers concerned in il ought to be hung:
The scaman's namo was Harry Frost, and
coming on board intoxicated, he was ironed
and gagged, with refusal of permission
to change his wet clothes for some that
were dry--hc having fallen overheard in
his way to the ship. While being gagged.
Corporal Keho Of the marine corps knocked
him down and kicked him several times on
neck and face. Frost continued to talk as
well as the gag would permit him, when
James Russell, master-at-arms, drew the
strings Of the gag littlo tighter and left.
Nothing was then heard from Frost but sti-
fed groans and indistinct mutteriug. Rus
sell then went to Frost. and heodless Of his
cries for mercy, placed his knee on the back
Of his neck, drew tho strings Of the gag as
tight as be could and left him, saying, now
holler, d--n YOU" This fast turn was too
much. Poor Frost was heard to breathe
Eve or six times, and tho efforts to ee. his
breath were truly painful TO hear. The SEN
try on the brig became alarmed, and calling
the niaster-at-arms and Corporal Keho, told
them that the man was dying. Instead Of
taking tho gag out Of his mouth at once,
they went for pillow, and after placing il
under his head went for doctor. The
doctor took the gag from his mouth. but il
was too late--Frost was dead. Tho do
ceased belonged to Philadelphia, where h'
has left wife aud two children.

ExTRAoRDINARy BIRTHs.-It is stated
by Burdocls that tho wife of countryman
in the Moscow district had given birth to
90 children ut 81 conincments-fou times,
four at one birth, seven times, three, and
sixteen times, twins. In tho year 1900, the
Vienna newspapers contained tho following
announcement:
Maria Ann Helen, tho wife of poor lin
en- weaver in Nuelchcnfeld, 20 years mar
ried, bore at i | confnements 80 children
2s living and dead 26 were males and
G were females; all wcro begotten by ono

ing and two dead. Her husband was a
twin, and she herself one of four. Her
mother had produced % children, and died
during confinement with twins. Tho
greatest number of children ever produced
at ono birth appears to have been six, all of
whom were boys, and all dead. Tho wo-
man who gave birth to them had boen
twice married, and had already given birth
to A children; during her frat marriage,

We cannot better express our own sontl-
ments on this subject, than to reproduce the
following article, clipped from tho Marion
Reps5lican of last week.
"In looking over the different counties
composing this congressional District, il
must be evident to every man who has
watched the movcmonts Of tho people, that,
with u proper candidate and persistent eff.
forts, the chances are strongly in favor Of our
carrying the district But to secure this
desirable result, great care must be taken
in selecting a candidate in whom the poo
pie Of the District can place implicit conf
dencc. He must, also be a man Of I'M
flinching integrity, in whom there is no wa
vering or shadow of turning. In too many
instances tho Republicans have fritteied
away their strength by eectiEg men who
are so unstable that thoy could not bo de-
pended upon in single instance. 1t is
time that such men should be shaken of,
and given 10 understand that they must not
expect promotion at the hands of tho Re-
publicans. If there ever was timo in the
history Of Republicanism when men Of un-
wavering stability arc required for Repre-
sentatives, that time is the present, and it
would be madness for us to cntrust the fate
of our policy in tho hands Of men, who
would bo sure to bctray us. Wa want mon
of talen.of stability, Of integrity, of untir.
ing devotion TO tho cause of Rcpublcanism.
Too long have wc trusted men of no decis-
ion of character and bitter have been the
fruits Of our egrcerious folly. Tho long
contest which preceded tho election of speak
er Banks, would never have taken place had
due regard been paid to tho selection Of re-
liable Representatives.
In every county in tho District We have
men who have all these qualifications, and
with one Of them rs our standard bearer we
can haul Hall out of tho Representative Hall
with perfect case. To secure this result our
most sensible and reliable men should be
chosen as Delegates, and they should be
permitted to go there unbiased and deter
mined to select tho best man, let him come
from whence he may. We are all interest
cd in this matter, and ever step should be
taken with an eye single to the good of tho
cause, and that only. The interest of no
one man, be he whom he may, should be
permitted to interfere with the good of the
cause. The Republican party was not Or
ganized for the benefit of any man or set
of men, but for the good of the whole coun-
try, and whenever it departs from its true
mission, it is no longer worthy of tho sup
port of honest men,

Thc canvass in ILLINOIS.

The advent Of Senator Douglas, at Chi,
cago, has given fresh spirit to tho political
canvass, and we are glad to see a disposition
to unite the Republican and American
strength on single ticket, The American
State Convention has nominated Mr.. Miller
tho Republican candidate for Treasurer ol
State, with an independent nomination fol
Superintendent Of Public Instruction. II
is supposed that but one candidate for tho
latter Office, on the Opposition, will remain
10 the field, and that there will be hearty
cooperation throughout the State.
Tho Winchester Ckroaicle which zeal
ously supported Fillmore Cor President, has
hoisted tho oniire Republican ticket, and
other signs indicate union, a full vote, and
the triumph Of the people.

Our IRcnnhIicnn Friends.

Will see the State Ticket Mt the head Of
our paper this week. Each Of tho candi-
dates are men Of tried worth and unhinch-
ing integrity, and as such we hope to SEQ
every Republican, in truth every man who
is opposed TO the present administration
and the policy it has sought to inaugurate,
rallying manfully and enthusiastically to
their support. The late State Convention
was one of the most harmonious and united
bodies it was ever our privilege to partici-
pate in. No sectional spirit or clique con-
trolled its action, and the Delegates from all
parts of the State gave such assurances of
the strength of our cause that to our mind
victory cannot fail to bo ours, If tre do our
,rhole duty. OF the candidates the Gin
cinnati Gazette says.
Hon. William V. Peck, Of Portsmouth,
is too universally known as iurist of emil
ncnt ability, and a statesman of sound con-
scryative principles---one who is neither n
fogy nor fanatic-to need any commenda-
ton to popular favor. He will grace the
seat he is to occupy on the Bench Of the
Supreme Court, and his name will filly head
the ticket which is to concentrate the uni
ted strength of the opposition.
The denomination of Hon. c. P. VOL
colt, of Akron, the present Attorney Gen
eral, was made unanimously, and by acca-
nation, no other candidate having been pro-
posed. His fitness and fidelity, as attested
by past service, could not have been more
fatleringly recognized. The honor was
deserved.
Judge VIM. B. Thrall, of Columbus, is
the nominee for the new office of Comp
trollcr of the Treasury, and Is now serving
in that capacity, under an appointment from
the Governor. He is represented by those
who know him-and we doubt not with en-
tire justice--to be man of the necessary
Judgement, integrity, and frmness to dis
charge the duties Of tho Comptrollership
with acceptabilty and success.
John L. Martin, Esq. of Middletown, is
the nominee for Member of the Board of
Public Works. Having bad no connection,
whatever, with the Canals hitherto, he has
no damaging record on that subject, while
his honesty and personal integrity are sure
guarantee of his fidelity in the office for
which he is named. His fitness for the
place appears to be universally conceded.
Tho campaign is now fairly commenced
and with good omens. With union and
harmony, and the hearty cooperation of all
branches Of tho Opposition against the Le-
compton party in this State, the object for
which VIC have earnestly labored, will be ac-
complishcd.

that should make Democrats dyiic Tor by the promises
Sl the sos @ The gs,g Of KHn,ss haze Eq. y the
Adrertissr.
According to tho Adrertiser, Douglas
popular sovereignty has been FILTERED down
to very small point. "Judge Douglas
says thercis nothing in tho Kansas question
that should make Democrats divide, for by
tho promises of the English bill the people
of Kansas have now the power to approve
or ratify their constitution, which is popular
sovereignty in its most extended degree. -
II being kept out of the Union until it has
a populatiou-of 10000 before it can come
in as FREQ State, or como in now, slave
state under tho Lecompton constitution is
popular sovereignty in its most extended
degree" popular sovereignty has narrowed
down wonderfully since the passage of the
Kausas-Nebraska act.
According to democratic doctrine Con-
gross has no power over territory to say
what kind of constitution it must adopt to
become state of tho Union, but at tho
Same time if the constitution does not suit
Congress it can reject it, (which is popular
sovereignty in its most extended degree"
P. S.-"Popular sovereignty in its most
extended degree" admits slave State with
10000 inhabitants, but will not admit free
State with less than $4,000.

We heartily endorse every word of the
suhjoincd handsome tribute to the State
Central Committee, by the Cleveland Her
aid.
1t is but justice to tho Republican State
Central Committee, of which Mr. Dennison
is Chairman, aud Mr.. Bascom, Secretary, to
say that the admirable arrangements made
by those gentlemen, for the comfort and
convenience of the Convention, contributed
more thannnything to The rapid discharge
of the business. Everything was so plan
ned that no delay occurred in seating and
organizing the crowd, and the committees
had such quarters provided as to leave them
nothing to do but to work. We never know
n matter which concerned so large body
Of men managed with more business skill
than were the duties Of tho Central Com.
mittee.

Ninth Consressionai District.

Wo arc GLAD to learn that the Hon. r.
p. Buckland, of Fremont, will bc n cnnd-
date before the Republican Convention of
the Ninth Congressional District, which is
to be held at Forest, August 18th. With
out knowing what other names may be pre-
sented, we feel no hesitation in saying
that our Republican friends cannot do bot
Ter than select Mr. Buckland as their nom
inee. His course and position, during two
terms in the State Senate, have been such
as to give him prominent place among
the public men Of Ohio, and developed the
qualities Of Independence, intelligence, aud
industry, in an eminent degree. With such
candidate against Lecompton w. Hall, we
should have no anxiety for the result.-To

WHAT'S Cor into the Generals,

A few days since, Gen. Sargeant-the
brave who knocked newspaper reporter
down with slung-shot at Columbus last
winter-was hauled up before tho Police
Court in Cincinnati and fined seventy-five
dollars, for assaultibg one woman. and was
bound over on the charge of brutally beating
another woman. The General was drunk.
In ycsterdaycvening's Cincinnati Times
we see that Major General Iytle--late Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieut.. Governor of
Ohio--was taken up on Sunday night and
consigned to the watch house. 1t seems
the Major General-and would-bc Lieut..
Governor-was drunk on Sunday evening
and kicked up nm everyday muss at Ger
man garden. Tho Gen pal threatened TO
whip every did Duichman in the crowd,
and said if he only had six good Irishmcn
he would ''clear OUT the garden. 1t took
four officers to carry him to the lock up.
