The Candidates Tor Representative.
The people, and especially the re-
turned soldiers, should keep in mind
the records Of the two candidates for
Representative. #ya
Capt, J. B. EyERsoLF, has been q
Union soldier and served gallantly and
faithfully during the war. He enter
ed the service as private and won
his way to the command Of a compa-
ny. He is man of intelligence and
strong character, and is a ready and
pointed debater.
URIAH G. RurrER, the candidate of
tho Copperhead Democracy, was orig
inally Whig. When the great Know
Nothing movement carried Fairfield
county, he was member of the order
in Pleasant township. When the
Know Nothing movement failed and
the Republican party was organized,
he Joined tho ranks of that party
But as his appetite for Office grew with
his growth and strengthened with his
strength, he saw little hope of appeas-
ing his hunger in this county, without
joining the Democracy. So he desert
ed to'the enemy, in order to get food
to fill his official stomach. Since this
step he has been with the Copperhcads
of this county in all their bitter oppo-
sition to the war and the Government.
Mr.. Rutter has gone the whole figure
including DIR. 0lds and eternal war on
the Mg,uer. When the BLESSED Mar
tyr" was hauled out. of town by tacC
mules, and, followed by several hun
dred more all the wayto Columbus
Mr.. Rutter trottedalong as the sweet
singer in Fairfield. Dr. Olds might
go to the Legislature to make the laws
but let him sing the songs. In the
Ohio Eagle of January 1st, 1863, ap'
peared the following cffusion:

to Exclude . white Girl from
sabbath school and also fr6m the
Public Schools.
Within the last few days Sopsidera-
BILE remark has been elected and some
feeling manifested by an attempt to
exclude white girl from the Presby.
terian Sunday School, and also from
the Public Schools Of the city, because,
in tho opinion Of a few foolish people,
the girl has eolored blood in her veins.
We have thought best, in consequence
Of the interest taken in the affair, TO
lay the facts before the public.
The girl with her sister was brought
to the city by Col. Stafford, from the
South, where both had been hold as
slaves. She is about eight years of
age, has fair complexion, straight hair,
and both her father and mother were
white, the latter, however, having
been held as slave. This little girl
found her way into the Presbyterian
Sunday School, and Immediately one
of the democratic politicians sme|t a
colored person in the wood pile and
laid complaint against admitting the
girl to the Sabbath School. Thc.teach.
or, who is a lady, insists that the girI
shall attend and be taughtin her class
AS yet there has been no official &C.
tion by the School.
The girl also began on Monday last
to attend the pubic scboolsof the city
and complaint was Immediately made
by another democratic politician and
by an Irish woman. On Tuesday, the
teacher scot the girl home, where shC
will remain until q meeting of thu
School Board can be held, and thu
question determined as to her admis
sion or. exclusion. ~ :,
If tho girl were black or even
distinct mulatto, we should not objec
to this action, for there are coloret
schools, both secular and religious, il
the city, for all such. But here is
white girl, who was held in SLAYER,
through the wrong and cupidity of {
rebel, and who is therefore, to be ex
cluded from white society and com
PEELED to associate with the blacks. !
these keen scented haters of the ne
gro prevail, the girl must either re
main uneducated or obtain an educa
tion in the colored school. Were thi
persona male Of, the required age n
one would pretend to question he
right, under the Constitution Of Ohio
to vote. ASB1 s.

terpreted, by the Supreme Court, sh

there is no'trace OF the African in he
veins. By the laws of tho State sh
has right to attend the white schools
and should the Board decide to ez
clude her, the question will be teste
in tho Courts. There is no reason fo
oil this persecution of little chile
save the insane prejudice of few pee
pie who would degrade every thin
which the curse Of slavery has touched
to the social level of the unfortunat
race which they are in favor of re-er

THE REAsON WHY.

ThA Aquestion arose the other day
why the New Clothing House
of Peters, Miller & Co., were doing
such a large business in such a short
time after opening. 1t is not entirely
due to their having first class goods
and first class ,workmen, but because
they let the people know where they
are and whatthey are doing. They
know The great secret of success-they
