Nox PoDuli.

Great interest centers about the
pending election. New Hampshire has
spoken, and her voice not only gives
no "uncertain sound" but it is more
emphatic than when last heard. Con
netcicut will speak in few days. and
although the Republicans in that State
did not make the most iulicions Con
gressional nominations, she, we feel
confident, will respond to New Hamp-
shire, The people of the North are
just as much in earnest as when rebels
confronted loyal men in the field The
battle field is changed; craftsmanship
bullets, but the same prin-
ciples are involved and the same foe is
at work. Now, as in the smoke and
fire of the contest, the Democrats are
burning blue lights to mislead loyal
men and to pilot traitors, but Democ-
racy never can win SO long as it wears
the gray nor can it secure the con
fidence of the masses so long as itseeks
to restore traitors to power,
The South can never be restored
while it puts forward as its .fayorites
those who instigated the rebellion, no1
can Democracy retrive itself until it
throws overheard men whose boast il
is they never voted a dollar, nor furH-
ished man, to fight down our 'erring
sisters ~ -.
And beside the voice. Of a State, we
have ''straws'' in the elections at Cam
den, n. j., and Sacramento, Cal, show
ing in what quarter the popular breeze
sets-on the Atlantic and Pacific. These
Republican victories are significant,
for they have been won since a Repub-
lcan Congress has driven another nail
into the coffin of Secession, by the pas
sage of the Reconstruction Military
law.-C. Herald. ......

InlDOFtant Law.

II On the 9th of February 1867, alaw
was passed in the Ohio Legislature, ,en
titled can Act regulating Roads and
Highways" which is highly inter
esting to township Trustees.
Itplaces the control of all roads in
the township with the Trustees, dis
pensing with the present system of cut
ting townships into twenty or thirty
road districts, as heretofore. It ex-
empts from road work pensioners Of
the United States and all persons nllo
have been permanently disabled in the
service of the United States. The
amount now to be paid in lieu of the
two days work is fixed at two dollars
The law appears to contemplate that
the Trustees shall employ one or more
persons in each township whose duty
it shall be to oversee all work From
hasty perusal of the law we think it q
decided Improvement on the old man
ner of doing the road work. 1t will
enable the Trustees of'each towship to
employ some capable person to act as
a general supervisor throughout the
whole township, and he will be account
able to them for the faithful discharge
of his duties, and must make a show
ing of his doings at the annual settle
ment.

a Great Flood.


The reports from the South, of dam
age by the great food NOW sweeping
through the valleys, are most distress
ing. All the rivers are ''on the ramp
age" and the hourly destruction of
property is incalculable. The. Ohio is
covered with wrecks of property swept
out by the food, and as it is joined in
its progress by other swollen streams
its power of destruction is increased.
The lower part of Cincinnati is under
water, whole squares being submerged
to the ceiling Of the first story. There
were fears on Friday that the gas works
would be inundated, and the whole city
would be plunged in darkness, but, so
far, that peril has been escaped. The
Kentucky and Tennessee. rivers are
higher than they have been for twenty
Years at least. The food has caused
great distress BY sweeping away houses
and preventing travel and traffic. The
fact that several corpscs have been
swept down by the food shows that the
loss of life has been severe.
The first food is only now entering
the lower Mississippi, and the people
of that part of the country arc justly
filled with alarm. The second flood
now swelling the Ohio and its tributa-
ries Will soonbe on them, and will spread
devastation, The snow storms Of the
past few days will l,as soon. as a thaw sets
in, f fnrnish another addition to the
wild waste Of waters that threatens to
overwhelm the Southern valleys. a=
The sin of the South was great, and
terrible is its punishment. Not only
man, but the elements themselves, fight
against the rebellious South and con
spire to heap misery upon its head
The South contemned and derided the
North, defed its power and dared it to
the conflict. The result is known, and
the end is not yet NortheIn armies
ravaged the South with fire and sword,
and now the floods from the North
threaten to destroy what the sword and
the torch spared.-C. Herald,

State Bounty to Veteran Volun
fQaTS. s--

The bounty bill giving to all the re-
enlisted volunteer soldiers of this State
a bounty of one hundred dollars. was
published by the Secretary Of State, on
Saturday, as a law of the State. 1=tD
The law provides that where a vet
eran volunteer was credited to coun-
ty, or township, or city, and received
no bounty, the commissioners Of the
county, the trustees Of the township,
or the council Of the city, as the case
may. be, shall issue for his benefit a
bond for one hundred dollars, bearing
six percent interest, redeemable one
year after date.
In case the volunteer was credited
to the State at large, then the Auditor
Of State is required to issue his warrant
upon, the State Treasury for the same
purpose. +. .-.......5
+ In cases Of credits Of volunteers on
the quotas of Congressional districts,
the counties in the district are to pro
vide for the payment of the bounties in
proportion to their population.

shall have received any bounty les than
one hundred dollars, the amount, SO
received is to be deducted, and the

THE Cry For Bread!

There is certainly great dcstitutior
of the real necessaries of life in. many
parts of the South. There is no doubt
of this, as the reports of good reliable
men all confirm the fact. Help should
be rendered mediately, or many OF
those unfortunate beings will have to
starve. Of the abundance with which
God has blessed us, let us contribute

the unfortunate. ~ "a

MANsFELD.-We very much doubt
the wisdom of the citizens of the
above place, in regard to the arrest and
banishment of the scoundrels, who
have been committing all kind of dep,
radations in that vicinity. 1t is not
the harsh treatment which they dealt
out to the nefarious vagabonds, to
which we object, but the plan adopted
of getting rid ofthem by shipping them
to other places to renew their crimes.

guilt of those chaps, why were they NOT

says "there is. no longer any doubt that
the South viii speedily organize under
the Military Government act, and send
at. the earliest day possible their Rep

AS this Reorganization must be up

All testimony as to the probable &C

letter from Governor Patten, of this

canvassing to see who shall be sent

of sentiment will be rapid, look for
