der by Rev. L. Cunningham, Presi-
dent, and opened with religious SER

tive committee of seven, in addition
to other officers named therein. The

John Dillon, Jas. Barringer and Prof
Fl. j. Caldwell. as a committee to

A motion to recognize all friends of
the Sabbath Schools present as dele
gates. and members of the Confer
ance, prevailed, after which Rev. Mr..
Dixon read an essay on 1.-The work
and dignity of the Sabbath School
teachers" The essay elected much
interesting discussion. At 8 o'clock
P. NJ. the members of the M. E.
Sabbath School, Gallipolis station,
assembled and were addressed by
Rev. Mr.. Baker, of The Conference,
Rev. Mr.. Bosworth, visitor, of the
Presbyterian Church, and Rev. DIR.
Trimble, Missionary, Secretary. At
4A P. M. the audience dismissed.
The evening session was occupied
by Rev. Mr.. Gardner, who preached
from Deut. 9th chapter, 9th to 9th
verses.
The morning session of the 24th,
met at 8 A. NJ. and was opened by
usual religious services. After the
reading of Minutes the committee to
nominate the executive committee
reported the following names:
Revs. II. l.. Adams, Jno. McCor-
mick, L. D. Vanzant, and Messrs.
Jos. J. Blazer, Penil Cherington, S.
c. Bailey and II. j. Caldwell.
An interesting address by Rev.
Mr. Fry, of the Portsmouth District,
on the subject: "What measures can
be introduced in our schools to in
crease their usefulness and enable
them to meet more fully the objects
for which they have been establish
ed," was followed by animated and
interesting remarks by Revs. Dixon,

and DIR. Bell, Presbyterian, and Geo.
W. Jackson, Esq, Episcopal Sab
bath Schools, Prof. H. W. Caldwell,
Gallipolis, Prof. W. H. Young, Ohio
University and Rev. DR.. Trimble,
Missionary Secretary.
The speeches were confined to ten
minutes each. The interchange of
opinions with reports of the practical
workings of different Sabbath
Schools, were interesting to all
present, and an evident determine
tion prevailed on the part of Sabbath
School workers, to increase the eff
cheney of this very important auxil-
iary of the christian church. A mo-
ton to hold subsequent meetings in
connection with the Ministerial Con
ferance of the District, and resolu-
ton that all members present use
their influence TO increase the atten-
dance at future meetings, were adopt
ed. Secretary W. Y. Miles offered
his resignation, which was accepted,
and Rev. Mr.. Gardner elected in his
place. At III A. M. the Conference
sine die.

~ The editor of the Dispatch
seems laboring under the misappre
hension that we are a permenant in

overhaul his short comings. The
facts in brief are simply these--we
took charge of the paper for one
number only, during the tempoE /
rary absence of the editor, and haye
NJ pecuniary interest in the estsbs
lishment, directly or indirectly
What we said in that number,
felt warranted under the eli
stances, and for which we ha ms
apologies to make. What have
sincew written has been in self fence
A few readers Of both n rs take
an interest in personal - toversy,

ed in great mannerszsom what ws
conceive to be persons lties, and the
future will be gover1A solely by the
action of the editer d tie Dispatch.
Ifhe sees proper to drop the matter
where it stands, well and good, but
if otherwise, we pledge him our
word we shall give him Roland for
his Oliver, and put him to all his wits

we have only to close it, and its

@ A dispatch from Washington,

~ A dispatch from Washington,
dated July Doth, says:
The rumors thrown out from va
rious parties during the past few
days, relative to the removal of Gen
eral Sheridan. have at last assumed
a definite shape. In an interview
which some gentlemen interested in
the Louisiana levees had with the
President, to-day, they were told by
him that the difficulties in their way
would be speedily removed, by the
displacement of General Sheri dan,
and the appointment Of either Gen
eral Hancock or General Meade to
the command of the Fifth Military
District.

The Difference.

So marked is the difference be
tween the Democratic party of to-
day and what it was under the leader
ship of Gen. Jackson, that it is no
wonder it is repudiated by the
American people, and that the sold
Jackson Democrats" have left it and
become attached to the great party
Of pregress-the Union Republican
party.
This difference is seen in the ac-
ton of the party in 1882 and 1860.
In 1882 we had a rebellion, similar
in character to that of 1860, though
confined to less territory and to a
smaller number of participants. On
the 24th day of November, 1882,
South Carolina passed the celebrated
ordinance of notification. Gen. Jack
son was then President, and on the
10th of December, he issued his
famous proclamation, in which,
among other things, he said:
"The Constitution of the United
States, then, forms government, not
a league; whether it be formed by
compact between the States, or in
any other manner, its character is
the same. 1t is government in
which all the people are represented,
which operates directly on the people
individually, not upon the States;
they retained all the power they did
not grant But each State, having
expressly parted with SO many pow
ers as to constitute single nation,
cannot from that period possess any
right to secede, because such seces-
sion does not break league, but de-
streys the unity of nation; and any
injury to the unity is not only a
breach which would result from the
contravention Of compact, but it is
an offense against the whole Union.
To say that any State may at pleas
ure secede from the Union, is to say
that the United States are not ma
ton; because it would be solecism
to contend that any part of nation
might dissolve its connection with
the other parts, to their injury or
ruin, without committing any Of
fense."
He also said it was the duty of
the Executive to execute the laws by
all constitutional means, and that he
intended to see that the laws were
enforced without regard to the
action of State governments. He
did do it, and by his firm and de-
clsive course that incipient rebellion
was crushed, and South Carolina
brought back to her true allegiance
to the General Government.
In 1860 we had another rebellion,
but how different was the action of
the party-how radically changed
had become its principles.
Seven States had seeded and or
ganized Provisional Government,
within the territorial limits of the
United States, before Mr.. Lincoln
was inaugurated. A Government
had not only been organized, but they
had taken possession of U. S. prep
erty within the seeded States, and
an army with the avowed
purpose of making war vpon the
General Government. The Demo
cratic party was in power all this

The editor of the Dispatch has
fI6coyered the grand panacea for all
6<lr financial woes. His proposition
3 to pay off the whole national debt
ht one grand swoop by the issue of
IAN equivalent amount of .greenbacks.
Oh! the wisdom of this modern polit-
ical philosopher! A paper currency
of over four billion dollars! Will
our astute neighbor please calculate
the price of a barrel of flour, a
pound of sugar and the other neces-
saries of life, under such an inflated
currency? Will he also tell us how
many generations would elapse, be-
fore the country could get back to a
specie basis? And also how his
proposition corresponds with the old
Democratic doctrine of hard money.
We suggest that if our neighbor had
more brains and less head, he would
not have been guilty of so absurd
and ridiculous proposition.

DIED..

MORTON-In Green township, July 18th, 1867,
Mrs. Mary f. Morton, in the forty-fourth year
of her age.
She was a daughter of the late Col Daniel
WomeldorG, and was married to Mr.. Alfred
Morton Oct. 18th, 1872.
Mrs. Morton an aGectionate wife and
mother, and managed her household affairs with
such gentleness and discretion as to render her
home a pleasant one, and to secure perfect har-
mony in all her domestic relations. Though
naturally of reserved disposition, her social
qualities were approved by ALL while they rem
dered her pleasant and agreeable to that extent
that she secured to herself the good will and es-
TEEN of all who formed her acquaintance.
Mrs Morton, though not member, accepted
true. the doctrines of the Old School Presby-
terian Church, in which faith she doubtless lived
and died.
Her loss will be deeply felt, not only in the
large circle of friends and relatives, but most es
pecially in the bereaved family. May the God of
grace and truth comfort and sustain them in
their severe aifiiction. j.. NJ.

IMPRovINa.-Yesterday morning,
an unfortunate butcher in our mar
ket, lost the profits on a pig which
he had sausaged, by the following
sharp practice: An individual pur-
chased quarters worth of the afore-
said sausage meat, handed over $5
greeny; and as the sausage man
could not make the change readily, Z,
the purchaser said he would call for
it in few minutes. During his
absence, freedman approached the
vender and asked for his change 1;
and the former, without noticing the
individual, passed over $4.75. In a
short time, Sambo No. J. returned,
and claimed his change. The sausage
vender discovered his error, and waa
forced to pay the money a second
time. In the meantime, No. q made
himself scarce.
