EEOur very worthy and much re-
spected Ex Member of Congress, Hon.
v. B. Horton, arrived home, few days
since, from his four years sentence to the
Congressional halls of our country
Whatever Of perplexity. anxiety and labo-
rious officia. duty devolved upon him in
these four years, will now find balm in
the entire and hearty appreciation CT his
constituency-in the assurance that every
vote and sentiment entertained and ex-
pressed by him, officially. receive an ap-
proving echo of the voice of proud and
honored people.
There has been no period wit hin the an
nails of our confederacy, that matters o
more moment have been before Congress
matters involving the dearest interests
of our country, and upon the action o.
members rested the alternative of theil
self-destruction and future shame, or &
he calendar of our patriotic, noble and
true, to be envied and admired by pos.
terity. On all of these questions, oul
noble hero presents clear record, univer'
sally being guided by justice and judg'
ment.
Yet his usefulness is not at an end
Whether public or private matters claim
his attention, they are always of such a
nature that good depends upon his action,
and always receives at his hands her due
portion. But, it is predicted, che will
not long remain in private; his public use
fulness cannot yet be dispensed wth."-
Hence his name is mentioned in connec-
ton with the Governorship Of Ohio. He
is everywhere accredited the ability to ill
the position, but the universal inquiry is,
"woud he accept it, OF course this is
left for Mr.. Horton to answer when the
proper time arrives. AS has been re-
marked, it is yet early to mention the
matter. and breathing the free air Of retire
ment, now, for the first time in four years,
it would doubtless be ali interruption OF
his desires for his friends to urge the matter
further, at present.

Prof. w. w. Mather. an old aud honored
citizen Of Columbus. died at his residence
on State street, Saturday morning. In the
death of Prof. Mather science has lost n
master, and our country n benefactor.
His position on the roll of knowledge aud
research cannot easily be filed. We give
a short sketch of his life and services since
1924. AT that time he went from Con-
necLicut as a cadet to West Point. On
July 1st, 1898. he was breveted S cond
Lieutenant of the 9Th regiment Of infantry.
From 1929 TO 1885 he was acung AA-
sis:ant Professor of Chemistry aud Min
erology, M. A. He WAS appointed First
Lieutenant December, 1884, and resigned
August 81, 1886. He was Professor of
Chemistry of the University of Louisiana.
Geologist of Southwestern New York from
1897 to 1910, and of Kentucky from 83 8
to 1880. Professor of Natural Science of
the University of Ohio from l842 to 1845.
and since 1847 Vice President and acting
President of the same.
The Professors had the largest and best
collection of minerals, and every desciip
tion OF geological specimens, in the West.
II is to be hoped this cabinet will be placed
in our State agricultural department in the
Capitol as benefit to the cause of science,
and a memento of Prof. Mather.-,State

~There has been no extra session OF
Congress called. There was large
amount Of business transacted before its
adjournment. The developments of "Na-
val Frauds" and Printing Frauds are
beyond parallel. We should like to, but
cannot, publish the reports of the investi-
eating committees on these subjects. We
find the following extract in regard TO the
Printing investigation:
The evidence taken before the Printing
Investigating Committee shows a settled
system by which officers of this Demo
cratic Government constantly collect from
ten to twenty per cent. on the contracts
for work. paper and other materials given
out at Washington. The Witnesses testify
that they found they could not get these
contracts except by submitting to these
exactions. In some cases they admitted
that they added twenty per cent. to Their
bids to cover the cost of these corrupt fees

y We like 10 hear comments upon the
Chess games recently played by the Pom
eroy and Athens Clubs. The following,
from the Marietta "Intelligencer," is of
course, ironical, ,and indicates that the game
referred to was anything but brilliant one.
1t refers to the second, or sporting" game
of the Pomeroy Club, at which, (having
had the first one secure, and having ascer-
tanned the opposing strength had our
Club brought its force to bear, would have
shown fear of It's competitor; but, very
manfully, the game was given to those
who played for it. The "lntelligencer"
says:
eff Athens and Pomeroy really played
the game as reported, we think they ought
To extend a challenge to Morphy, for we
are sure nobody else save lie and they can
play such u game. 1t is entirely above the
reach of ordinary miDds."
The Athens "Messenger" man gets very
angry with the "Intelligencer, flares up,
swoons, revives, ''advises," as usual. then
revels in the sublimities of Scotia's sweet
Bard. We do not desire to fight the
"Intslligencer's" fight, but simply W 'sh il
understood that there is no briIlancy
claimed for the second game, by any good
players we know Of
