Furnacemen may suggest
that the subscriber don't know
exactly what hei talking about
when he talks @Furnace." Very
well, we will consider that at
some other time; for the pres
ent we will take it for granted
that the best iron ore in Vinton
county, and as good ore as can
be found in Southern Ohio, lies
along the proposed line of the
S. & H. V. Railroad; but will Nc
Arthur or vicinity ever have an
Iron Furnace Certainly not
unless she has a Railroad-even
the navigation of Raccoon can
not save her. Ore is now being
mined almost within the shad-
ows of her buildings, and drawn
away by horses, oxen and mules
to be wrought into iron by fur
naces five to seven miles dis
tant, while at depth of from
ninety to one hundred feet be-
meath we could, without doubt,
obtain the coal necessary to the
manufacture of iron equal to
that made at the Orange or
Star Furnaces at Jackson.
Aside from the elements of
wealth and'prosperity that have
lain undeveloped from the be-
ginning, and which bid fair
| to lie undisturbed until the end
oftime. Macarthur has other in
terests which must be looked
to and taken care of.
Hamden is nice little vii
lage, with some enterprising
men living there; it is a fine
site for a town-at the junction
of the S. & H. Y. with the NJ.
& G. r. r., and the prospective
junction of the road from Pom
eroy and Gallipolis with the NJ.
& G. r. r.
It must soon become a thri-
wing town, and it is destined,
unless we improve with pas
sing opportunities, to sap Nc
Arthur of trade, of business,
and finally of the seat Of JUS
| tice. a..
There goes the "Court House"
again, says my indredulous
reader. County'Seat agitations
are by-gones, you suggest. 1t
may be. We never had any
more fears of the County Seat
going to Zaleski than we had OF
it going to our new possessions,
popularity known as a-d-m-long-
! way-off-ski; because Zaleski has
none of the prerequisites OF a
city. First, she lacks the ground
upon which to lay out a village
with any eye to comfort, con-
venience, beauty or economy
her streets are segments of. cir
cles conforming to the side
hills and ravines, while on the
other hand Hamden is situate
in the finest valley of upland
in the county, and is in the
heart of the mineral region.
Aside from this it is to be
hoped that the NJ. & G. R. r.
Directors are in a better humor
with out of the way places than
they have been heretofore
We understand that they are
proposing to do liberal part
by the Meigs and Gallia peo-
pie. Why not make an effort
TO secure the road tothis point?
We have certainly dragged
through mud in a mud wagon
over the line from here to Nc
Arthur Station as long as econ
omy, good sense, or patience
will permit-let us awaken to
ourinterest, and build the road,
| if thereby we can secure the
train. 'a .5t|f faa II. /.

Logic by Induction.

From The Tribune.
There is a good deal in analysis; and, as
clergymen and church-goers know, two or
three lines of text may be amplifed into seve-
raj quires of sermon. The account of the riot
at Brownsville, Tenn, which we have already
printed, concludes as follows:-"One of the
rioters is reported to have said, early in the
day, that he was going to get drunk, and go
up to the Courthouse and drive of the id
niggers."
l. he paS going to get drunk. This we con-
slider creditable in him. He must have had a
sort of soft spot somewhere, either in his heart
or his liver, and felt a cOmpunction at the
mean work in which he was about to engage.
So, like 'Lady Macbeth, f" he took something
before he proceeded to business. "That which
hath made them drunk hath made me bold, ("
said her ladyship. 81 am going to get drunk, :"
said the Brownsville murderer. 1t would be
curious to inquire how much whisky had to
do with the great Rebellion; of the little ones
which break out here and there, this untrust-
worthy and irresponsible fluid is, no doubt, a
prime constituent element.
2. lie s0as going up TO the Courthouse. He
was going to the very temple of Justice to defy
the laws, as some sacriligious scoundrel might
break into a church for the purpose of prac-
tising the profane language with greater gusto
upon the very steps of the pulpit or in the
pulpit itself. Abandoned to Bacchus, he held
Themis in high contempt, and must needs
show it. So he first loaded himself, and then
his rifle, and, being both mentally and physi-
cally cooked and primed, he proceeded.
3. To drive o6he id niggerS. This decla-
ration shows, we must confess, more con-
sistent purpose than might have been ex-
pected from this muddled refolmer. What in
the audacious enthusiasm of his cups, he in
tended, is simply what great many gentle
men who never drink the extract of rye at all
have often proposed to do--some of them even
offering to annihilate both time and space, and
to transport four millions of negroes aforesaid
to Africa, where M. du Chaillu says they be-
long-where at this moment if man had not
presumptuously interfered with Divine Provi-
dence, they would now be hunting gorillas,
worshiping idols, and cutting each others
throats. The Brownsville reformer, indeed,
under the encouraging influence of his favorite
fluid, went little too far. His "driving Off
seems to have meant the driving of his victims
quite away from this terrestrial ball-out Of
the State of Tennessee into the Future State
Such bold enthusiast should be known by
name, as he will be, when twelve men Law
their heads together to decide whether he shall
be hung or only locked up for life. Meanwhile
he seems to be quite at large; getting drunken

Ton ne Tribune
A rumor comes from Washington that Mr..
Johnson and his Cabinet have been discussing
the propriety of removing General Sheridan.
No reason is assigned why this gallant officer
should be relieved of his command, except
that prominent Lousianians, both of the
Rebel and conservative stamp have petit
toned for his removal.
Mr.. Johnson and his Cabinet may as we'll
understand that prominent Louisianians of
the Rebel and conservative stamp" are Just
the very last men in the country who have
any business to be heard in this matter, and
that General Sheridan is one of the last men
in the country who ought to be sacrificed to
please them. We dare say they do not like
him. We dare say they have no particular
affection for the victor of Winchester. and
who told the truth so boldly about the New
Orleans massacre and who has exerted him
self so zealously to give New Orleans loyal
City Government and an honest police. But
to our mind this is a strong reason why he
should be retained. General Sheridan faced
the Rebels too gallantly in war to fear them in
peace. One of his highest recommendations
for the position he now holds is that he has
never seemed afraid of losing it. He stands
in no dread of Conservatives, either at New
Orleans or at Washington, and fears the
Louisiana Rebels as little as he fears the Presi-
dent.
1t would crafty the public to see the names
of some of the Rebels and conservatives whose
demands for the virtual disgrace of gallant
officer appear to have been heard with such
respectful consideration at the White House.
They would like to know whether the list
includes John T. Monroe, whom Sheridan re-
moved from the Mayoralty for notorious and
outrageous disloyalty; or Andrew s. Heron,
whom he deposed from the District Attorney
ship; or Edmund Abel, whom he turned off
the bench of the District Court, both for the
same reason. They would like to know how
many of the Rebel policemen whom he has
recently expelled from office, how many of the
rufians whose numbering of inoffensive colored
Unionists he stigmatized so bravely in his
report on the massacre; how many of the still
rampant Rebels whose oppression of the freed
men he has checked-are among these 'con-
servative'' petitioners.
If General Sheridan has made himself OBJ
noxious to a certain class of the people whom
he has to govern, it is only by doing his duty.
If the Rebels want him sent away, it is proof
enough that the Union men want him to stay.
The country feels too grateful tor what he did
during the war, and what he has done since,
to bear patiently with his unmerted disgrace.
The people have no mind that the COnfederates
whom he whipped in the field should now be
permitted to whip him. And, personal con-
siderations apart, they are too sensible of the
benefit of his administration to Louisiana and
to the country at large to submit to its being
changed for different sort of rule. The ad-
ministration which attempts to disgrace Gene
raj Sheridan, just to please few men of the
Heron and Monroe stamp, will have to face a
storm of popular Indignation that will sweep
it out of Office.
