The N. Y Tribune says the great problem in
European politics at this moment is, What will
be done with the States of Central Italy The
report Of Republican rising at Parma is now
disproved. The people there have acted with
the same shrewd moderation which has distin-
guished all their neighbors. The Provisional
Government remains in force precisely as il
was left on the retirement ofthe Sandman Com.
missioner; and there is no Indication that the
desire TO be annexed to Sardinia has given woy
to the chimera Of setting up an independent re-
public. % U.I
The inhabitants Of the Romagua, Of Modena,
and of Tuscany, all preserve the same attitude,
which is as much proof Of capacity for self
government on their part ns Of discretion and
prudence on the part Of their leaders. In Tus-
cany, the Legislative Assembly, chosen by the
people, has unanimously declared for incorpo-
ration with Piedmont; and there can be no
doubt that il the will Of the populations could
have its way, the Sandman Monarchy would at
once be increased by the addition Of these i'm
portant territories. r..L
But no one has any rational confidence that
Louis Napoleon will consent TO any such dispo-
siton of the Central States Of the peninsula; for
he cannot wish Sardinia to grow into the for
mdable power which such additions would
mske her With regard TO the Romagna, it is
certain that it will be forced under the paternal
Government of Plus TX Louis Napoleon has
abundantly demonstrated that the dominions of
this monarch at least are safe against all dimi-
mutton. As for Parma, Modena, and Tuscany,
the only question is whether they are to be re-
stored to their exiled princes or whether they
are to be made into new Kingdom, for some
unestabished prince who would be willing to
undertake the cares of royalty, under Bona
partist patronage and supervision. As for his
maintenance in power,the fifty thousand French
manage il. They might even manage to pro.
duce popular vote in favor Of such an arrange
ment.

The forgery Of $4,000 in certificates Of de-
post Of The American L Exchange Bank of New
York, recently made public in Pittsburgh, and
tho arrest of s. O. Laugdon, ono Of tllo parties
in New York, has made some stir among The
big rascals. Stephen d. DiIlaye, of the New
Y ork Custom House, is one Of the alleged
swindlers, and Dye Of Dyes Bank Note
Mirror is implicated. Both have published
notes denying the chsrges. Dilaye not only
asserts his innocence, but intimates that au
agent Of Secretary Cobb, with whom he had
controversy about his removal from an office
in New York, is at the bottom of a conspiracy
against him. The transaction took place on
the 18th of October, 1883, when Dillaye and
Langdon presented themselves at the Citizens
Bank, in Pittsburgh, with two forged certili-
Gates Of deposits on the American Exchange
Bank Of New York, one for sl2,5OO, the other
for $4,000, on which they got tho cash The
villains eluded justice until the Goth Of August
last, when Langdon was arrested in New York
and taken to Pittsburgh. lie throws the
responsibility on Dillaye. The professed OBJ
ject in raising the money was to invest largely
in the stocks of the Monongahela Valley Bank,
at McKeesport, Langdon says Dillaye was
to furnish S45, 900 to take stock in the Monon-
gshela Bank When the time came he failed
to furnish dollar, and resort was had 10 for

Vacation is over, and the Fall term OF the
Public Schools now begins. Children have
hada long play.day and merry one, for the
season has been propitious for health and en-
jOyment. Goodbye to Vacation " we trust
has been said with pleasure by hundreds of lit
tie boys and girls, and the books have been
packed for school with alacrity, Parents and
guardians should see to it that children are
prompt and regular in their attendance at
school, for the progress Of the scholar and the
usefulness of the school much depend upon this.
The loss of few lessons by non-attendance or
irregularity, though a serious one, is not the
only injury done to the child. Absence from
school without absolute necessity induces hab.
its of negligence and ideness, if not of more
positive vices, which will cling to the child
through life. II also disLurbs the order and
systematic arrangement of the whole school,
and the example exerts bad influence on 9th
ers beside the absentee. No parent, therefore,
should be surprised at the anxiety so properly
manifested by all good teachers for the regular
and prompt attendance Of their pupils, and all
should cheerfully and efficiently co operate
with them in this respect day lost at school
for play or truancy can never be made up TO
the child. II is as much the duty of parents to
see that their children are daily at school, at the
appointed hours, as that they are supplied with
food and clothing for their bodies.

Onr Count, Nomination..

The attendance Of delegates at the County
Republican Convention was unusually full, and
much harmony prevailed. The contest was an
imated for the nominations for Senator, Repre-
sentatyes, Prosecutor and Treasurer.
TnoDoRR BREcK, Esq of Breckville, was
nominated for Senator Mr.. B. is well known
to the public as thorough Republican and
good citizen He served the county one term
in The Legislature as Representative, thus add-
ing to his many qualifications that of expert
ence as a legislator.
Col RICHARD G. PARsoNs was re.nominated
for Representative. He has already served one
term in the Legislature with great credit TO
himself and to our county. Having the advan-
tage Of ripe experience he win be able to fill the
office Of Representative with still greater salts
faction to his constituents.
CT. BLAKEsLEE, Esq, of Chagrin Falls, re-
ceived the nomination also for Representative.
Mr.. B. has resided in Chagrin Falls for over 90
years, and has always had the reputation of a
good citizen and Republican, and his nomination
was cminently fit to be made.
& The nomination for the Office of Treasurer
was given to Mr.. HARVEY BURKE, of Newburgh,
who is we'll known to the citizens of our coun.
ty as a man of good business qualifications, and
of strict integrity. The funds of the people
cannot be in safer hands.
Dr. HARTMANN was re nominated for the Of
fee of Coroner. He has proved himself to be
good officer and his being re-nominated is an
endorsement of his official conduct.
The Convention re-nomnated DR. A EvERETT
for Ooanty Commissioner This was proper, for
the reason that the present Commissioners
should remain in Office till the new Court House
ls finished.
The Convention nominated SAMUEL VII.
Hanson, Esq, for Board of Equalization, which
could not have been bettered. Mr. W. was for
mery Auditor,of our county, and is well versed
in the duties of the position for which he is
nominated.
With the above, our ticket headed with Vim.

That saucy Mississippi sheet, the Vicksburg
Wing, is responsible for the following dsuuion
story:
when we hear such threats of disunion
made by these r, doubtabe politicians, who APP
pear to breakfast, dine and sup upon gun pow
der, round shot, and chain lightning, it reminds
us Of a conversation between Gov. Wise and one
ofour citizens few weeks ago in the Capitol
at Richmond The Mississppian (the man, not
the newspaper) was anxious to know of the
Governor if he did not think the Union
should and could be dissolved, in the event of
the election OF Black Republican The Gov
eTnOf was careful no to express any opinion
but with twinkle of the eve, and an emphasis
peculiar to himself remarked that he had some
little experience in such matters on a former
! occasion. At one time IN 1857 it was conf
IDENTITY believed in Virginia, that Fremont would
be elected President, and crowds of fire.eaters,
who swOre TINT death was preferable to sub
mission, and that somsthing must be done, flock
ed around him to find out his opinion, as to
what should be done in such terrible crisis
Resist by all means, gentlemen, said the Gov
ernor; never think of tame submission 20 such

State convention! BY convening the Lepisla-
ture!sad another. by convention of the

the Governor, by none of these means-they
are too slow-too fucuating and uncertain
How then!' cried the excited and resolute as
semblage. What shall be donel' 'Whyu said
the Governor, tear up the railroad, and take
possession ofthe National Armory-appropri

crept over his pile face). They turned as white
as a sheet and, like the crowd that accuse the
