The Railroad Accident at Lock-
t> land.


A coroner's inquest was held at Cincin-
natl on Friday and Saturday on the dead
bodies of the persons who came to their
death by the railroad accident at Lockland
last Thursday morning. We have not yet
seen the verdict, but presume it will be
substantially that nobody was to blame.-
1t is probably true that the collision under
the circumstances could not have been
avoided; but is it true that the death and
burning that resulted therefrom could not
have been prevented? The conductor OF
the train on which were the passengers
who were killed and burned, knew that
the mixed train, known as the freight and
accommodation, was only ten to twelve
minutes behind them. He knew that il
word were not got back in time to the en-
gineer of that freight and accommodation
1t would run into his train, and he sought to
avert that by sending man back at
the top Of his speed with the requisite sig
mails to stop the train. That was right
and acquits him of negligence of duty in
that particular. Why did he not
however, in view OF the proba-
bility of collision, have all the pass
engers on his train get off it? There was
plenty of time in which this could have
been done, and would have been done had
he had his wits about him. AS soon as he
sent back signal man to intercept the ap.
preaching train and stop it if possible, hs
should have called upon every person il
the cars to get out of them and thus savs
their lives. Herein there was displayed s
want of thoughtfulness that resulted mos
disastrously to human life. Was it no
cul pable in the highest degree? 4

The true value of Mscbinery spplied to Watch
making is not that by its Watches are made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
feS people know why latham Watch should be
superior to any other. In the first place. at W alt
ham the Wstch is regarded as only machine, to
be constructed like any other machine. on mechau-
ical principles. If the Watches are good it is be-
cause the machinery is good. OF course there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or shapes of
the pieces Of which it is composed-notbing want
ing in their properties. and err in their posi-
tions. These points once thoroughly settled,
rests wholly with the machinery. constructed with
infinite diversity Of form and fun -tion expressly
for the purpose to produce the finished pieces. BY
means of multiplying guages and microscopes. tests
and inspection for the lection of we in the cut
ting TOOLS and for faults and flaws in steel or stone
are made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end. As necessary result, the
Watch goes together perfect machine. Every
p art is found to fit properly in its place. Every
pin may be pushed till it pncbes. and every screw
turned home. Instead of sluggish and feeble ac-
tion. the bal ance even under the pressure Of the
liRhtest mainspring. vihrates with wide an free
motion. and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always characteristic of the Watham Watch. The
machine is a timskeeper from the start.
This sysi EN- of Matchmaking is unknown in for
eign countries, and is entirely original with the
Wathau Company. The Company claim that by
| it they Iroduce Watches that cannot be equal ed
for every quality which makes Watch valuable.
Simpe in plan and correct in principle. the move
mt is not only beautifully finished, substantial.
accurate and cheap but is uniform in the minutest
details not easily damaged, and when repaired al
ways as GOOD as new. There are different grades
of finish in the different varieti of Watches made
by the Wsltham Company. as there are different
sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and means but
every Watch that bears the genuine trademark Of
'WALrHAh" is guaranteed to be good one, and
nobody need be afraid to buy it.

Is This Right

The Republicans SO dis.ricted the State
for Congressional purposes that although
the Democrats have, in round numbers, 8
vote Of 100000 to the Republican 1000
the Democrats have only three Members

effort is being made by the Radicals un-
righteously to displace from his seat, while
the Republicans have sirteen-that is equiv
alent to thirteen members for three thou
sand votes. An apportionment that makes
such discrimination must satisfy all fair
minded men as being most UNANIMOUSLY and
indefensibly unjust. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to ask the question, Is this Right Z

Judicial Murder i'm England.

ALLEN, LARKEN and oULD, the Irish Fe-
mans condemned to death at Manchester,
England, were executed on Saturday. The
English Government took strong precau-
tionary measures to prevent popular tu-
multi. If the English Ministry expects to
keep down men who are determined to free
their native land, by hanging those in their
possession, they will find themselves much
mistaken. The blood thus shed will be
fearfully avenged, and the innocent perhaps
be made to suffer with the guilty.

STATE CONVENTION.
From the Madison Co. Democrat.

| THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY CONVENTION.
We have on several former occasions ex-
| pressed our opinion that the Eighth of
January was too early a day for the De-
mocracy of Ohio to select candidates to be
voted for the ensuing October. Whether
or not it was the best policy formerly to
defer making State ticket until a later
day, there was considerable difference of
opinion, but we believe now that in the
| exciting canvass to be expected next year
it would be best for the Democracy to be
early in the fell. There have been times
during the late years when the Democracy
were forced to battle on the defensive, but
the time has come whep it behooves us to
act on the aggressive-to force our political
| opponents to the wall on the issues as they
really exist, and to allow no dodging or
skulking on the part of the enemy. There
! is every reason to hope for final and de-
| cisive victory for the Democracy in 1869,
and the sooner the campaign is opened the
! better the work will be accomplished
| Let US have the old-fashiOned Eighth of
January Nominating Convention, in order
| that every good Democrat may at once
commence the task which he feels in duty
bound to perform during the coming year.

''our voice still for the S;h of January" as it
was last year. We made the change last
year to the Sth, and we think that the re-
suit of the October election lends consid-
cradle importance to the propriety of re-
peating it. We have nothing to gain by
holding off, as we now have an abundance
of material for a prepossessing and success
full platform, which is about all that is re-
quired. We are decidedly in favor of a
long campaign, and let us meet on the Sth,
grid on our armors and prepare for the
grand contest of '6S. 1t is important that
we should get to work early, and work
hard and long, as we have a vote that is not
only worth keeping up, but increasing,
which can be done if we will but do our
duty. We think that after little delibera-
ton, the press will be unit for holding it
on the doubly glorious day, to the Buckeye
Democracy, of the 9Th OF January.

ing one from so many able and competent
gentlemen. But it must be done, and we
hope will be done without creating any
feeling of dissatisfaction, or cnaSrin, on
the part of the friends of those VINO are the
unsuccessful candidates. 1t Is natural That
every section of the State should nave Its
personal preference among those named for
the place. and without intending the least
disparagement to the other candidates, We
are satisfied that Judge Ranney would be
the first choice of a very large majority OF
the Democrats in the Northern section OF
the State. 1t would be superfluous in us
to attempt to enlighten the people OF Ohio
upon Judge Ranney's fitness for that posi-
tion. the impress of his ability and states
manship can be found on almost every page
of the Constitution of the State, and in the
reported decisions of the Supreme Court OF
Ohi0, as well as in hls public speeches in
all the political campaigns for the last
twenty-five years. His capacity for future
usefulness is acknowledged by all, and by
none more cordially than by the gentlemen
who are named as candidates for that posi-
ton. t.5--..t H
In this connection it is worthy of re-
mark, that, in the election of members OF
the two houses of the Legislature OF the
State, the Democrats have wisely chosen
their ablest and best men, and by SO doing
have secured Legislature altogether su-
perlor to any one elected during the pre-
ceding fifteen years. A working majority
of the two houses are men of marked abil-
ity, and sterling integrity, who well under
stand the wants, wishes ard interests OF
their constituents, and will not for any
| consideration. deviate hairs breadth from
the straight line of their duty. And, in
their choice of a statesman to represent
| Ohio in the Senate of the United States,
we have no doubt that while cheerfully
recognizing the high qualifications and in
valuable services of all whose names have
been maintained in connection with that
honorable po,ition, they will unite in the
choice of the one best fitted for it, under all
| circumstances. Especially are we per
suaded that, in making up their minds on
the subject, they will avoid an Imitation o
the disgraceful scenes enacted by the Rad
icals at the time when Sherman was elected
over his numerous and noisy competitors
And when they come to their conclusion
the Democrats OF Ohio will cheerfully ac-
qiesce in their decision.

hearing OF the merits of the case the Craft
refused to grant charter that in any man

heartily concurs in the action of the Grand

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNvENTIoN.-
1t is urged by the Democratic press of the
State that the Democratic State Central
Committee issue a call for the holding of
the State Convention on the Sth of Janua-
ry. We certainly think it advisable to do
so. The result of the late election in this
State has shown the a lyantages to be gained
by holding an early Convention. Every
county in the State should advise the Com
mittee to call the Convention for the Sth of
January.

crdt.
We entirely agree with the Democrat, and
have heretofore eXpr, ssed the same senti-
ments. The Democratic members elect are
entirely competent to make the proper Sc
lection for Senator, from the many distin-
guished persons named in connection with
that position. We are not of those who
think that any particular man has a pre-
emptive right to the position on account
alone, of services rendered the party. We
think that it is the duty of every man who
acts with the Democratic party because he
believes it to be the party under whose adj
ministration the best interests of the whole
country can be subserved, to do all in his
power, according to his talent, to secure
the success of the party, on higher grounds
than that OF receiving office as reward
for his labors. We do not wish to be un-
derstood as saying that mans past ser
vice, rendered the party, is to be held for
nought. 1t should have its due weight in
connection with the ability he has to rem
der at least as important service in the fu-
ture. In the present condition of the
country, 1t is of vastly more importance to
ascertain what a candidate for such posi-
tion as United States Senator, if elected,
can hereafter accomplish, to restore this
country to its former glory and high posi-
ton as States and as nation. than what he
has heretofore done; and we trust it will
be the endeavor of the Democratic men,
bers to do this calmly and dispassionately,
having due regard for the welfare of all
sections OF our common country. When
this Is done, the party will be content,
whoever may be the successful man.

lature are called upon to perform in select

DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMEMORATIVE
have noticed i'm quite a number of our eX-
changes the question raised as to the prop
er time for holding our State Convention.
Last year it was held on the Sth of Jam
uary, which gave us decided advantage
over our opponents. The same issues will
be before the people in the campaign of
1868. that were presented in 1867. This is
clearly proved by the great speech of PEN
dletOn, which is regarded as the platform
for 1868. Therefore we are favorable to an
early Convention, say the Sth of January.

Allen County Democrat is out in favor of

Convention for the Sth of January, and
urging the name of o. E. Griffith, Esq, OF
Lima, for the position of Secretary of State.
We have no doubt the State Committee
will call the Convention at such time as
will best promote the interests of the par
ty; and without wishing to disparage the
claims of Mr.. Griffith. suggest the name OF
John G. Thompson, Esq, the worthy and
honored Chairman of the State Central
Committee. We do not know that Mr..
Thompson either seeks or would accept the
nomination, but should he be so inclined,
we feel confident that he could rally the
Democracy of Eastern Ohio to man. If
long and effective service in the cause is
to be considered in selecting candidates.
we think Mr.. Thompson stands at the head
of the list.

Proposition to Redeem Compound
Interest Notes, &c.

4 WASHINGTON, Feb, PA bill was

which authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue bonds not more than
6 per cent. interest, payable in coin, the
proceeds of which shall be applied
exclusively to the payment or pur-
chase of existing indebtedness.
These bonds are to be known as the
consolidated debt of the United
States, and the bonds to be subject to
an annual tax ofon per cent. on the
amount in lieu of all other taxation
of the amount received, and for the
tax to be paid into sinking fund for
the redemption of the debt. The
Chief Justice and Secretary of the
Treasury shall be the commissioners
of the sinking fund, and shall pre-
scribe rules for the management and
disposition of the fund.
The issue of $500,000,000 of bonds,
at five per cent. interest, principal and
interest payable in Europe, is author
lied The bill will not be called up
at this session. ar
p WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The pro-
position to redeem the compound in
terest notes by the issue of green
backs, will mot be compromised in
the Committee on Conference. The
redemption of the compound interest
notes with greenbacks will, neverthe-
less, be opposed in the Senate on, the
ground that the Treasury Department
will be abundantly able to pay for the
compound interest notes when due
without the resort to a fresh issue OF
greenbacks "A
McCulloch fully agrees with the
House bill, which gives him the dis
cretionary power to issue no more
fgreenbacks than he may deem neces-
sary, instead of $100,000,000, as pro-
vided for by the last bill.
