being subjected to the control, po-
litically, of their ignorant slaves;
a consolidated Government in the
place of a Union of States; a com
plete overthrow of our Republican
Government while maintaining
some Of the forms; and the degra-
dation of our National character by
the admission of the negro to
equal political rights. These are
the blessings which the war for the
Union has left us.
Is there no escape from these
evils-no remedy for these ills p
The Democracy have stood nobly
by their guES IN defense of the
Constitution, the Union of the
States, and the liberty of the citi.
zen. They have done much in the
past, and upon their success in the
future depends the preservation
and maintenance Of our Govern
ment.

Kenton Republican gives the fol-
lowingi items in relation to the trade:
The No. l eggs are packed away
in large vaults and tubs, covered
with brine, and there kept Till win
ter, when they are shipped to mar
ket. The liquid used preserves
them, and they come out almost as
good as fresh eggs, and the price
obtained in New York is usually
from thirty to sixty cents per Dozen
Of course, great care must be eX-
ercised in packing and preserving
them; but we learn that there is a
fair margin for profits. We might
here add that every egg handled
by them has to be examined by
holding it up to candle in a dark
room; if good, the egg will be
clear; if stale, the yolk will be seen
floating about; ifpositively bad, 1t
will be very dark inside. Every
egg has to be to be rubbed lightly
against another to tell if the shell
is sound.

defeat. 1t was poor effort OF the
party which survived the terrible
ordeal of the war. The spirit and
dash of the "unterrifed" was want
ing. If this Indifference and list
lessness is not at once thrown off,
we will be beaten, and that badly,
this fall. 1t is. necessary to speak
plainly. The county is close and
the Radicals have the money. We
have a clear majority, if it is bro't
out, and upon the issues of the
campaign we can make many con-
verts. The only thing needed is a
thorough rouslng up. Every Dem
ocrat must make the contests a per-
sonal matter. He must fight it as
if it were his own fight. A spirited
campaign will rew0rd us by a hand
some victory. The times, the is
sues demand it. And it will be
made.
Again we say, let every Demo-
crat attend the meeting. Let us
have one OF these rousing meetings
that fill us with the spirit of victo-
ry. One day given to the meeting,
to the party, is but a small return
for what it has done, and will yet
do. This much is due to our stan
dard-bearer, our country, our party
and ourselves.

The Meeting on the 10th.

EVERY Delnoclatin Vinton coun-
ty should attend the meeting on
the 10th. The issues of the cam
paign are momentous. The speak
ers announed, and who will be pres
ent, are the ablest men in the
State. The questions before the
people will be fully reviewed and
thoroughly discussed, and hearing
such great men as Thurman and
Van Trump will be an incalculable
aid in forming an intelligent opin-
ion as to the duty we owe the State
and country. Let nothing short of
absolute necessity keep you at
home. The Democracy elsewhere
throughout the State, and in our
sister States, are moving with a
will and earnestness that proves
the party is not dead, or is the live
liest corpse that ever made evil
doerS tremble. The Spring tri.
umphs has given it new life and
heart. The indomitable pluck that
has made its name a terror to the
many parties which have received
their death blow at its hands, is
now marshalling it's forces for a
fight and victory. 1t is everywhere
working with ceaseless activity
1t has the neroe, and knows no such
word as fail.
Our last county convention spoke
but little for the enthusiasm and
vim of the party in the county. 1t
showed an apathy, which, if con-
tinued, must necessarily result in

RaccOOn River Nayigable.

There is an effort being made to
form a company, for the purpose of
obtaining the right ofway, and ma
king Ra;coon river navigable, by
slack water, from Zaleski to its
mouth. The projects clearly prac-
ticable, ,andit would develope one of
the finest coal and iron ore regions
in Ohio, besides a good agricultural
country. 1t is proposed that the
owners ofmills and dams on the riv-
er take stock, and that the present
dams that are sufficient be retained
and locks attached, and where 1t is
necessary that new dams be built.
The proposed plan dispenses entire
ly, with towpath, and that the
steam propellers be used fol pas
senger and tow boats: hence all the
expense is the dams and locks. 1t
is estimated by a competent per-
son that ten new dams is more than
will be required, to replace the old
ones, that are unfit and for new
dams. A reliable person proposes
to build these dams at a cost of
$500 each and will contract at that
price. Why then is this project not
practicable? What are the bene.
fits9 Let us see, the Keystone Fur
mace now on the river, pays $3.50
per ton for getting her iron-2,OOO
tons per annum-to the Ohio River
by teams and railroad, with Rae
coon navigable she can send it for
one-half that sum, and pay a big
price to the Company. Thus saw.
ing to Keystone Furnace Co., in
one year, $500. 1t would reduce
the price of transportation just as
much for Zaleski Furnace Co., Hope
Furnace Co., Vinton Furnace Co.,

Good POLICY.

TIE Central Committee appoint
ed at the last County Convention,
has sent to Chillicothe to get their
bills printed for our mass meeting,
when thele are two professed
Democratic printing Offices in the
county. j. &. Swetland and d. B.
Shivel were for sending off for these
bills and s. Q. Case was for having
them done at the Record Office
This is a fine harmonizing act on
the part of the Committee and
candidates. We presume they will
send to Chillicothe for some voters
to help to elect the candidates of
the late County Convention.
This office is prepared, by an out
lay of some 5000 on job type, to do
just such printing; yet our Democ-
racy prefer to send away for their
work. How can they ask us or
our friends to support them in re-
turn for home patronage? We
mention this, to show the brother
ly love of our friends. However,
we expect to live without their aid.

Fire COmpanY Meeting.

THERE will be a Meeting of the
fire company of this place on Sat-
urday evening, at s o'clock, as per
notice in this issue. The interest
in this organization is fast dying
out, and unless prompt action is
taken, or another fire of some i'm
portance occurs, this praiseworthy
movement will be abandoned. 1t
is useless to talk about the neces-
sity and importance Of such an or
ganization. Nobody disputes it
Everybody is little too willing to
concede it. There is not enough
opposition to give the thing life.-
Everybody is passive and perfectly
willing that something should be
done. The interest in the move,
ment died as the recollection of the
last fire passed away. A few of
the faithful "hung on" and now on.
ly wait for some action on the part
of the town council. The tact that
large bodies move slowly, will prob
ably account for the length Of time
they have waited already. II will
also account for time they may
hereafter have to wait.
A good, cheap fire engine may
be had, and we need it, is all there
is in the case. Let there be a full
turn out at the meeting on Satur.
day night, when it will probably be
determined whether or no this or.
ganization is to be thing of life.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The Somerset Adcocate speaks
encouragingly of the prospect of
success in getting the stock taken
in the contemplated railroad from
Newark to the southren part Of
Perry County. The AdvOcate says
that only $4,000 of the whole
amount remains to be subscribed.
The road, when made, will tap one
of the best coal and iron regions in
the State, and it is believed the
stock of the road will be profitable,
besides opening up a source Of
great prosperity to the region
through which it passes.
A woman was brought before the
Police Court, in Cleveland, Ohio, a
few days since, for drunkenness,
who wore jewels estimated to be
worth $4,000.
The no-Morgan Contest
The testimony in this case will
form two large volumes. The first
will contain about 1000 pages, be-
ing Delano's testimony; and the
second will embrace 1900 pages,
being the evidence of Morgan
against Delano.
Delano's notice against Morgan
contains twenty-five specifications,
against Delano. 1t is understood
that this case will be one of the
first heard in December, and the
counsel of Morgan claim that his

A Card from the
bMnarcAN @ArcH @oMpANx
OF
Walham, Mass.

THIs Company beg leave to inform the Iublic
that they commenced operations in 1850, and
their factory now covers -four acres of ground,
and has cost moro than q million dollars, and
employs over 700 operatives! They produce
75,OOJ Watches year, and make and sell net
less then one half of all the watches sold il tho
United States;
The difference between their manufacture and
the European n, is briefly this: European Watch-
es are made almost entirely By HAND, and the
reaSlt is Of necessity lack of that uniformity,
which is indispensable to correct time keeping.
Both the eye and the hand of the most skillful
operative must vary, But it is a fact that, ex-
cept watches Of the higher grades, European
watches are the product of tho cheapest laJor
Of Switzer land, and the result is the worthless
Ancres, Lepines and so-caled Patent Levers
which soon cost more in attempted repairs, than
their original price. Common Vorkmen, boys
and women, buy the rough separate parts Of
these watches from various factories, polish and
put them together, and take them to the near
est watch merchant, who stamps and engraves
them with any name or brand that may be OIL
dered.
HOac American Watches are
Made.
The American Waltham Watch is made by
nosuch uncertain process-and by no such in
competent workmen. All the Company's ope-
rations, from the reception of the raw ma.erials
to the completion Of tho watch, are carried on
under one roof, and under one skillfu and CON-
petent direction. But the great distinguishing
feature OF their watches, is the fact Tat tLeir
several parts are all made by the finest, the
mo st perfect and delicate Tachinery eveI brot
to the aid of human industry. Every one of
The more than hundred parts of every watch
is made by machine, that infallibly reproduc-
es every succeeding part with the most unvary-
ing accuracy. 1t Was only necessary to make
one perfect watch of any articular style and
then to adjust the hundred machines necessary
to reproduce every part of that watch, and it
follows that every succeeding watch must be
like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim to
make
4 Better article for the Money

an be made under the old-fushioned handi-
craft system. They manufacture watches Of
every grade, from good, low priced, and sub
stantial article, in solid silver hunting cases.
to the finest chronometer and also ladies'
watches in plain goll or the finest enameled
and jewelcd cases; but the Indispensable requi-
site of all their watches is that they shall be

The War for the UniOn---What has
1t Left?

The War for the UniOn---What has
1t Left?
The avowed object of the late
war was to preserve the Union.--|
The theory of the war was that
armed rebellion must be put down
that the civil authority of the Gov
ernment might rule supreme. 1t
was not a war for conquest-for
territory. Itwas declared all thro'
its continuance that the rights of
the States would not be affected by
its result. Armed resistance to
the authority of the General Gov
ernment was to be overcome, but
no one then spoke of the right Of
conquest. 1t was all after thought
necessary to the preservation of
the Radical party. The Southern
States must be shorn of all politl-
cal power, or the "traitors" North
and South, who were a majority Of
the whole people, would take pos
session of the machinery Of Gov
ernment. 1t was political neces-
sity. The Union of States as our
Fathers made it was lost sight of.
The General Government would
notdivest itself ofthe extraordinary
power it had assumed during the
war, Military necessity was sup.
planted by political necessity. Il
the Southern States came in, the
Radical party would have to &c
out. A course Of policy must be
adopted which would prevent an
alliance between Northern and
Southern States. Hence the Mill
tary Despotism Bills, and the plac
ing Of the Southern States in the
hands of the ignorant and degrad
ed Negro, associated with few
white renegades. The Radicals
rely on the "loyal" negro ruling
the South, and on their party ruling
the negro. This is the end to bt
attained. Ignorance is to rule an(
intelligence to be disfranchised.-
All question of the constitutional
rights of the States is ignored
The Constitution has become {
mere plaything. To mention it il
connection with any political meas
ure, is prima faoie evidence of dis
loyalty, State lines are becoming
fainter day by day. State pride i:
a thing of the past. Negro suff
rage and the consequent degrade
tion of our Government, is direct

going, we will soon'overtake Mexi
