result is observable. In March of this
year the Radicals carried this town by
500 majority. In December the same
party elect their Mayor, ELI v. BREws-
TER, by a majority of 65. Democratic
gain, 263. The Democrats carried two
of the four wards. Like victories have
been achieved in other localities, which
show that the change is general, and
may be depended upon to revolutionize
the State at no distant day. The negro
policy programme of the Radical party,
and its injurious effects upon all the
business interests of the country, is un-
dermining the dominant party in the
Eastern States. They are unable
longer to Withstand the current of popu-
lar indignation which is setting against
them. The example of Connecticut
has operated in lowering the Radical
flag even in Massachusetts,, and now the
indications are that New Hampshire is
about turning her face to the rising sun
of Democratic principles, as the only
means of dispellipg the thick mist of
despotism which new envelopes

business prospects of the balance.

| Radical "Deck L0ad,-CuriOns
Explauafi0n.

At Radical meeting at Albany, New
York, the Hon. Mr.. Barker attempted to
explain why the Radical strength tell
of in the recent Maine election. He
found it SO difficult that, before he was
half through he said he was sorry he
had made the attempt. According to
the Argus, he admitted that there had
been falling off of eleven thousand
vetes, and the reason for this was, that
the party had taken on q heavy deck
load. Now, what this load was all

er proceeded to say that the
&" Down-Eastp people had peculiar no.
tions as to the duties of legislatures.
They believed in legislating morals into
men, and men into morals; and that no
man should kiss his own wife on week
day, and no other mans wife on Sunday,
without permission of the Legislature.
Well, in Maine, he said they had a
stringent liquor law, but a year ago the
gentlemen who wear white neck-ties
got together and demanded something
more effective. So these men came
to the Legislature with law
imposing q penalty of thirty days
imprisonment for selling a glass of
cider for the first offense. They wanted
the law passed, and it had to be done,
no matter how repugnant it might ap-
pear. He (Barker) advised against TAX
ing such deck-load on the party boat,
but the gentlemea with the white neck
ties insisted, and it went through. And
at the very time it was voted upon,
more than tico. thirds of those roting for it
had four inches Of rdw whisky in their
stomdchs!
All that was very Radical-like, and
perfectly consistent with the high moral
ideas of Pnritanism.-Cin.E Enquirer.

Anniversary Celebration.

The Committee to whom has been
assigned the duty Of providing for the
reception and session of the State Con-
vention, have concluded to connect
with the proceedings an appropriate
celebration of the eighth of January. A
Grand Mass Meeting will be held in the
evening, to he followed bya supper at
Washington Hall, in honor of the day
and the man whose name it so readily
recalls. A number of gentlemen from
other Statesmen of National repnta-
tion-have been invited to participate
in the evenings proceedings. Their
presence and eloquence will render the
demonstration unusually imposing.
The attendance from other parts of the
State is expected to be very large, and
it i'd proposed TO make the meeting of
this Convention an occasion long to be
remembered. AS the arrangements ap-
proach completion due notice will be
given. Iu the meantime the Committee
authorize us to say that tickets for the
Anniversary Supper will be issued
shortly, and the public advioed of the
place where they can be procured.

CLERICAL "INDIsCRRTION."
A Minister seduces n Young Woman
and gets her Married 10 n Farmer.


The Saginaw Enterprise reports case
of seduction and abortion, the parties
to which reside in Sebawing. The Sc
ducer is minister named j. f. Auch,
the woman's name not being given.
Criminal intimacy was kept up for some
time without creating suspicion, the
minister visiting the girl professional
ly, and her friends rejoicing in the ia
vorable indications of piety which they
imagined to be apparent. Soon, how
ever, it became apparent to the parties
interested that their reckless indiscre-
tion was soon to bear fruit. The fact
created some apprehensions in the mind
of the ministerial swain, but an abor-
tion was effected and the matter hush
ed up. Time wore on, and matters be-
came more complicated, and the danger
of second exposure imminent.
Perhaps struck with remorse at the
perpetration of the second great crime,
or perhaps fearful that a repetition
would prove fatal, this idea was dis
missed and he set about to devise some
means to clear his sacerdotal robes Of
the stain that would ultimately follow.
In the neighborhood lived an honest, in
dustrious farmer by the name of Ruehl.
Him he advised to marry the girl, and
with but little difficulty succeeded in
accomplishing his designs. The nuptial
VOWS were consummated, and for time
everything moved on smoothly. Soon,
however, little stranger was ushered
into the family which bore no resem-
blance of its fathers features. The in
jured husband swore and raved, and
finally ELECTED full confession from
the woman of her injuries. He visited
brief interview his ire had sufficiently
abated to allow him to name sufficient
amount to compensate him for his
wrongs. The consideration, as we are
informed, was in property, for which he
gave a contract or written promise,
signed, but not stamped. He was re-
quested to attach stamp, but, for some
reason unexplained, he failed to do so.
non-fullfllment OF. the
contract, Ruehl applied to the United
States Court or it's Commissioner in this
city, for a warrant for the arrest of the
whose name is John +. Auch,
for violation of the revenue law in
not affixing a stamp to document re-
quiring it, which was issued and Auch
notified to appear and answer to the
charge. Auch did appear, plead guilty
to the charge, was fined accordingly
and returned home, rejoicing that he
had escaped with so slight punish
ment. The greater crime is still I'M
punished and the ravisher ia still at
large.

su.ine.. for the Convention.

We invite special attention to the
last clause of the Executive Commit
tees call for the State Convention.
This clause has just been inserted. 1t
has been thought proper to advise the
people that the Convention will choose
Presidential Electors, and Delegates to
the National Democratic Convention,
in order that these objects may be had
in view in the selection Of county and
township Delegates. .t.
We are glad to observe that the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives throughout the
State are responding to the Committees
call with heartiness and uhanimity
unprecedented. From all quarters of
the State the tidings come that the
people are moving. The necessity OF
organization is more deeply, felt than
ever before. The prospects of success
seem to cheer and arouse our friends to
vigorous action. Unless travelling
should be rendered impossible by the
severity Of the weather, the eighth Of
January will witness larger concourse
of people at Wheeling than has erei
been assembled in this State upon any
similar occasion. .H...

The Arr Of Grinding Tools,

More than one-haf of all the wear
and tear and breakage and Of dull tools
comes from lack of proper knowledge
and practice in grinding. All steel,
however highly refined, is composed
of individual fibers laid lengthways in
the bar, held firmly together by cohe-
sion; and almost all farm implements
of the cutting kind, the steel portion
which forms the edge, if from sepa-
rate bar, is laid in and welded to the
iron longitudinally, 50 that it is the
side of the bundle Of fibers hammered
and ground down that forms the edge.
Hence, by holding on the grindstone
all ed dse-tools, as axes, drawing knives,
knives of reapers, scythes, knives of
straw cutters, DO, in such q amanner that
the action of the stone is at right an
giles with the plane of the edge, or, in
palmer words, by holding the edge of
the tools square across the stone, the
direction of the fibers will be changed,
so as to present the ends instead of the
sideas a .cutting-edge; by grinding in
this manner q fine smooth edge is set,
the tool is ground in far less time,
holds an edge great deal longer, and
is far less liable to "nick OUT and
break. - Germantowa Telegraph. o

A Victim Of Despotism.

The following notice of the death of
John w. Kees we take from the Circle
vile (Ohio) Democrat:
DEATH OF JOHN w. KEEs.-John w.
kees, formerly editor of this paper, and
q victim of Lincoln tyranny, died in the
Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus, on Mon
day last. His remains were brought to
this city and inferred in Forest Comete-
ry on Tuesday afternoon.
The deceased was native of Berkeley
County, Va, and was about AZ years of
age. We know not how long he resided
in this State, but suppose at least twen-
ty years. He published a Democratic
journal at Wilmington, Ohio, in l94S, and
afterwards, for several years, edited the
Democratic ErpOsitor, at Springfield,
Ohio. In August, 1859, he took charge
of the Circleville UdtchmaR, which pa
per he continued to publish until its sus-
pension and his arrest, in June, 1862.
He was Chief Clerk of the Ohio House
Of Representatives, in 1859, and dis
charged the duties thereof i'll highly
creditable manner.
Mr.. Kees possessed considerable abili
ties and force as journalist, and was
Jealous Democrat. For his fearless ad-
yocacy of Democratic principles and the
denunciation of Ben. Butler and other
tools of despotism, he was arrested by
the minions of David Tod and Edwin
NJ. Stanton, at the instigation of promi-
nent Republicans of this county, and
carried TO the Old Capitol prison, at
Washington City. Like band of ma
rauders they forced his dwelling house,
at midnight, and after Selling him
placed revolver at his wife's head,
to keep her quiet until they could search
his private papers and make sure their
exit. When arrested, and for weeks
previous, his mind was In condition
bordering on insanity, and the excite
ment of his kidnapping and incarcer-
alton entirely dethroned his reason,
never to be restored. After o brief i'm
prisonment, he was released at the So
licitation of Hon. S. S. Cox, and soon
thereafter taken to the Ldnatic Asylum,
confined short time, partly recovered,
and was discharged. He wandered
about in state of semi-imbecility until
February, 1866, when he became wholly
demented, and was again sent to the
Asylum, where he remained until death
came to his relief. .....
Alas! poor Kees. Unfortunate suffer
er from cold inhumanfty. Alas for
the rarity of Christian charity. He has
crossed the dark river, to haven of
peace where "the wicked cease from
troubling, and, the weary be at rest"
there to confront hisvillainous perseeu-
ters and heartless defamers, before the
throne of an all-wise Jehovah, OF the
judgement Day.
