HIGHLAND COUNTY.

]. B. Mcknight, an old citizen OF
Springfield township, was last week thrown
from q load of hay, frscturing his skull
from which he died.
The Mansfield Herald says thai town is
"eDioying a glorious carnival OF rowdy-
ISM" Last Saturday evening about seven
o'clock, an attack was made upon s coun-
trymsn, who took refuge in his team, and
at once drove off. He was followed by sn
excited crowd of reprobstes around the
Public Square and down Ksin street. who
Justify pelted him with stones and othor
missiles. Although this outrage was COM
mitted in the public streets, in broad day
light, no arrests were made, although
several of the offenders were present and
boosted of their deed.
During the evening, several other rows
occurred on Main street, in which parties
were knocked down and badly abused,
and the peace of the city disturbed to an
alarming degree. No arrests we're made
in these cases either.
On Sunday, the house. of Lewis Mosher,
near Lucas, was robbed whilst the family
we're at church. The thieves carried awsy
a pocket book containing five dollars,
clothing, books, bedding, &c. No arrests
have been made.

In the formation Of our governments
the question of a proper basis of represen-
tation in the Federal Congress excited
much attention. Southern men claimed q
representation Based upon their slaves.
Northern men objected, for the fesbn that
It virtually made q representation based
upon wealth, 81 slaves were held as prop
erty. As was the custom in those days, q
compromise wss effected, by which it wss
determined that three ,ffths of that class
of persons should ber counted. This rule,
though ever regarded as Objectionable at
the North, still prevails. Slavery being
abolished, there is q common understand
ing that this basis shall be changed. Ne
groes no longer being regarded a~s'property
their manhood having been established
BY the war-it is deemed Just that, in ar
ranging 3 basis of representation, they
shall be counted the same as whites. There
is no question as to the justice Of this
proposition, but those who advocate it are
not all prepared to accept the corollary
that of necessity follows il. If the colored
people of the South shall be admitted to
an equal representation with the whites, it
necessarily follows that they shall be en-
franchised. Otherwise, they will become 8
vast political power in the hands of the
whites in the States where the blacks re-
side. Let us suppose q acse. Blythe pres
emit ratio of representation, one hundred
and twenty-fOur thousand persons are en-
titled to s member of Congress. Let US
take 8 Southern Congressional District
with H~eventy-four thousand white persons
and fourteen thousand voters and fifty
thousand blacks, with no voters. Then
take a Northern District with oHe hundred
and tuonty fOu thousand people and
twenty. three thousand voters. Here, with
nine thousand more voters, the Northern
district would be entitled to no greater
representation than the Southern district
The effect of this would be to give the
South representation based upon q black
population, whilst they would in no way
represent the views of the black race. Let
US see how this would bear upon the ques.
ton of the superiority of the white race,
about which we hear so much from those
opposed to negro suffrage. Under this
rule, fifty thousand %non-voting blacks at
the South would give 3 political power
equal 70 that OF fifty thousand voting
whites at the North. This would be as
serting the superiority of the white race
with-a vengeance. The only true solution
of the question will be found in comforting
upon all men the full right of representa-
ton and an unrestrained exercise of the
elective franchise De

From the New York Tribune
Governments Credit.

There is one point that does not seem 10
receive sufficient emphasis from the press,
and that is the wonderful irmness of Gov
eminent securities during the recent panic.
II stands TO reason that, during times OF
mnmsntary excitement with distrust and
anxiety i the money market those secur-
tiles most generally held would be most
generally deprecated The first effect of
a panic is to send every timid holder TO
the Stock Board. The moment a shade Of
distrust passes over any security, it bo-
| comes the interest of the holder to get if
out of his possession so soon as possible,
and there can be no better test of the value
of q Investment than its behavior in times
of danger. When the frauds of Young
Ketchum we're first mentioned, and people
did not know the extent of his depreds-
tions, there was q general rush to the bro
kers by all who held securities. The sales
largely increased. The day before the an
nouncement of the defalcstion, Aba shares
of leading stocks were sold. The dsy after
the announcement, 1895 shares of the
same stocks we're sold. The panic was not
confined to any particular security. It ran
along the whole list. Ere suffered most
the decline being 81. The others had Their
share. The New York Central fell Al:
Hudson River, 81; Reading, 7B, and SO on
down to - the fall of the M chigan Cen
trail, and the lightest fall of the day. There
was no particular reason why these rail
road shares should depreciste. The defsl-
cations of Ketchum and others did not
affect them. Not a dollar WAS lost to their
earnings; not q penny taken from their
stock. But the law of psnics, or,
as might be said, the law of anarchy, spares
nothing When men lose their wits and
find themselves possessed with the sudden
sense of danger, they are only controlled
by the instinct of safety, aud in cases like
this the instinct is to rush to the Stock
Board and sell all they have for as much
rs can be got.

No inconsistency.


Some days ago, In Commenting on an
item from the Guernsey Je6ersonian, in
which General George w. Morgan was
spoken of as the hero of the Cumberland
Gap campaign, we said:
General Morgan will hardly thank his
Democratic friends for exhuming his
memorable campaign at Cumberland Gap
That is his sensitive point. The implied
censure he received for his hasty evacuation
of that stronghold, thus opening up an
avenue of escape to Brsgg's army from
Kentucky, st q time when General Buell.
claimed he had q right to expect General
Morgan to hold the position, was the turn

commission and turned OOpperhead."
The Ohio Statesman thereupon repro
duces an article published in the LEADER
in October, 1862, in which it was said:
"The march of General George W. Nor
gan with bis entire army, from the fast
nesses of Cumberland Gap, to the Ohio,
will live in history as n of the most re.
Variable and skinful on record" The
"march Of Gen. Geo. W. Morgan" upon
that occasion was skillfully conducted.
We have never said anything to the con-
trsry but this admission has nothing
whatever to do with our recent statement.

Of Bragg's escape from Kentucky. Gen.

General Morgan was extremely sensitive.

So that We find in the aggregate the
sales were less on Wednesday-the dav of
the panic-than on Monday, the dsy be.
fore it-snd in every security, with one
exception, there was IN advance. The ad-
vance was slight but noticeable as showing
confidence.
This suggests q natural comment We
see that, after all, the great security is the
security of the people. Nothing but a
National calamity can effect it. Railroad
stocks may become worthless; Petroleum
companies explode; banks may be robbed;
but all these causes sffect Individual credit,
and only strengthen that of the Govern
msnt. Great is Wall street, but greater
even than that mighty Rialto is the Ma

something above the reach of fraud and
panic. The lesson should belearned. This
great argument in favor of the National
credit should be taken up by the press and
proclaimed aloud. Here, at last, is some
thing free from the eddy, the whirlpool,
the current-the uncertain, shifting
of money and credit. Trust.
