Gov Brough, of Ohio, died at Cleve-
land, on the 18th. We find in the Gin
cinnau Commercial the following brief
sketch of him:
Born in Marietta, September 18th,
1871. His father, John Brough, Sr.
came from England in the same ship
with the noted Blennerhassett, in 1906.
The mother was a third wife, and Of
American birth. John Brough was the
eldest of five children. His mother died
in 1921, and his father in 1922. The
family scattered, each to provide for
himself. He took a scientific course at
Athens, setting type nights and morn
ings, and studying during the day. He
studied law, and married Miss S. Pru.
der, of Athens, in 1892, and immedia-
tely engaged for a short time in pub
fishing the Parkersburg Gazofte. He
afterwards published the Marietta Re-
publican and supported Jackson for re-
election. In about a year be went to
Lancaster, and in company With his
brother charles, published the Eagle
He was clerk of the Ohio Senate in 1865
aud the three following years was cleo
ted Representative from FaIrield.-He
was afterward State auditor, being first
elected to fill a vacancy, and then re-
elected. His wife having died, he mar
ried Miss Caroline Nelson, CT Columbus,
and with his brother Charles, commenc-
ed publishing the Ciecinnati Eoquirer,
in 1913. He stumped the Sale for Polk
in 1851. after leaving the Enquirer. he
was President of the Madison and La
dianopOlis Railroad some years, ! until
elected President of the Bellefontains
Road. When he was elected Governor,
the Directors voted to continue his salary,
which he declined. Afterward they IN.
sisted en- his receiving half salary, which
he dad and remained President till his
death. He leaves a competency for his
family. Two children of each marriage
survive him.

will resume its connection with the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church of the United
States, whenever the Bishop shall consid-
er such course consistent with the coed
faith which this diocese owes 10 the Bish-
ops of the late Confederate States. The
second resolution provides that deputies
shall be elected to the General Council
of the Church in the Southern States,
with the und understanding lhat if, in the
judgment of the Bishop, any contingency
shall arise to render Il representation in
the General Convention aOfvthe United
States necessary, the same deputies shall

Up to August Oath about % OOO appll-
cations for pardon have been received at
the Attorney Generals Office. All those
who, in the opinion of the Attorney Gen
eraI, have just claims to the Executive
clemency are duly recommended aud for
xarded to the President for his action.
II is said, on the authority of ar officer
Of the State Department, that the sigma.
lure OF the President has been affixed 10
less than 100 of tie applications received
for pardon; the number daily announced
as pardoned are simyly the names Of
those recommended and forwarded from
the office of the Attorney General. The
President has exercised the utmost eau
ton aud discrimination in the matter o.
pardons. and has invariably rejected all
applications unless good and sufficient
reasons were produced to show the ne
cessity for Executive clemeney.

The Washington correspondent of the
independent defines the position OF Pres
ldent johnson on the question of negro
suffrage as follows:
Phe President has informed no man
not even a member Of the Blair family
that he is opposed 10 negro suffrage; but
be has asserted in the presence of many
Republicans his personal preference for
universal suffrage, His position is, mo
dissimilar to that taken By DR.. Bushnell
ia New Haven last week. He is not
clear in his W mind respecting the
proper method of attaining the desired
result. Those who are intimate with
him say the ~rebellious conduct of a large
portion of the people of Tennessee,
South Carolina and Virginia is very
RAPIDLY driving him to the conclusion
that the black men of The South must
have the ballot before political power IS
accorded to the former rebels of that
section. However this may be, it is GER
tain-t that the President is not opposed 10
usgro suffrage, and has authorized nq
man TO say he is.

One of the Ohio Democracy met not
long ago, and nominated for Governor
Alex. Long of Cincinnati, who came so
near being turned out of Congress for
his reasonable speech winter before last.
The other wing met last week and nom
mated for Governor Geo. w. Morgan,
who ~extinguished himself at the first at
tack on vicksburg. The notorious Will
liam NJ. Garry managed the former con-
.vention, aud Val!andlgham, the Grand
Commander of the Knights oe the Gold
en- Circle, made a speech at the latter,
These facts are all that a loyal man
would desire 10 know about either to sat
isfy him that n couldn't be much worse
than the other, and that both deserve to
be signally beaten. The trail of the

As the Herd Law is, and has BEEN
much discussed in this section and as the
abolition" Of fences. seems the main OBJ
ject, we copy the following from a <
change list:
The abolition Of fences is now being
agitaled among farmers, and there seems
TO be no insurmountable obstacles TO such
a reform 10 many districts. Il is estlma-
ted that the fences Of the country con-
staute as much as half the value of the
farms, and these have to be continually
renewed. By having strictly executed
laws against stock running at large, all
fences, except such as surround pastures
and stock yards, may be dispensed with.
Besides the saving IN money, the room
occupied by the fence is also saved, ana
the chief harbor for weeds is done away
with. A communication was recently
read in the New York Farmers Club
from Livingston County, in Illinois, say
ing in that County the plan Is 10 success :
ful operation, The general practice OF
farmers being to dispense with fences
Scion Robinson states that he was IN
formed OF cook authority that the Tn
fenced lands IN that County are quite as
high in price as the fenced farms of other
counties, showing hat this simple regu-
lauon will ave the great expense OF
fencing the Western prairIes. Mr.. Ely
the President, remareed that the same
system is In operation in the valley of the
Connecticut River both in Connection
and Massachusetts.
We can see no great difficulty in thf
way Of such a reform IN Nebraska, il
fact we believe most Of our farmers could
pasture their stock with one fourth the
fence required to fence their farms. We
would like to hear from some of our ex
~perieneed farmers upon this subjecl.

Now, that the most pressing work of
Farmers IS nearly over, we again recur
to the subject of establishing Farmers
Clubs" No zane farmer can doubt the
advantage of an interchange of expert
ence with his neighbOrs we often hear
one farmer asking another how such a
crop done, or some other question rela-
tive to farming, 20 get his experience;
while, if they belonged to a Club, these
questions could be discussed, more could
join in and greater benefit would result,
while the time occupied at the Club
would be not oue-fourth the time wasted

From a gentleman of this city, who

had proved turtle. In the latter part
of July Gen. Sully had a conference
with some three hundred lodges of IN
dians. representing some two thousand
warriors, who were willing to enter into
a treaty Of peace with the Government.
Some Sky or seventy miles from Fort
Rice there was a camp Of six or sever
thousand hostile Indians, composed Of
Sioux, Arrapahoes, Cheyennes, and
other tribes, who, n reply to a PROPOSE
ton of Gen. SUlly TO come and confer
with him on the subject of peace, stated
that they did not want peace; that they
were ready and willing ssto fight, and
that they desired Gen. Sally with his
''lIrlle boys'' to come and ''pitch ii" as
soon as he pleased. Gen. SulIy Lad Of
