ANINFAMOUs sCHEMRf
Tn. ss..n.ss Of Near Party L.s,.i..loa.

Mr. Ross, the member of the House of
Representatives from this county, was
yesterday made the tool by which one
Of the meanest schemes that ever oriRi-.
mated in the brain Of pot-house politi-,
clans, was introduced into the General
Assembly. 1t is plan TO deprive the
people who pay two-thirds of the school
tax of our city of any voice In disposinQ
Of 1t, asd to hand over the schools OF
Columbus to the tender mercies Of party
Ignorance aud party malice.
We denounce the bill rs infamous, and
the authors OF it as not less Infamous
This is harsh language, but when party
Leaders sink 80 low in the vile cess-pool
OF political infamy as to become willing
to convert the best schools in the State
schools in which the word "politicsu.
ought not TO be meptioned-into party.
machinery by means OF whi, h the men
who do the dirty work shall be reward
ed, it is time to uso violent language, and
again we repeat that the authors of the
bill in this city are nothing less than in
famous. 1t is a scheme that will mako
our schools, now the pride and boast Of
cur citizens, burning disgrace, and de-
prive the youth Of the city Of suitable
means OF education.
In order to convert the schools into O
political machine, the Democracy have
conceived that every Republican mem
Der of the School Board must be robbed
OF his position. 1t was first proposed to
change the election from the second
Monday in April to the first Monday,
when politics run high, so as to prevent
boiling on the part of disaffected breth-
rem. The destructionists discovered that
this would not work. TO carry out their
plans, each member Of the Board must
be committed to their wicked schemes.
Three wards of the city are irrecoverabiy
Republican, and they have three mem
bers ofthe Board, as the law now stands.
Those three men, although they repre-
sent a class that pays two-thrds of the
school tax of the city, must be got out
Of the way. Hence the bill OF Mr.. Ross.
1t provides that the present Board of
Education shall be supplanted by a
Board OF nine members to be elected by
the city at large Oh the first Monday in
May. Three of the Board shall hold
| Office for three years. three for two years
and three for one year. When the short
terms expire the members then elected
shall hold office for three years.
If there is any thing too mean, too
dirty, too infamous for our Democratic
Legislature TO touch, it will reject this
thing, the handiwork of the lowest Pc
litical filth Of Columbus, which it is now
| proposed to foist Oh our citizens-ICo-

The New York Tribune, in an article
on the Ohio Visible Admixture' Bill,
says: "This villainous act is to be passed,
if it has not already been passed; and we
suggest that every Republican who vot-
ed against Impartial Suffrage last fall
have it read to him at least once per day
for the remainder of his natural life
Nothing can be better calculated to mike
him realize what manner of man he Is.
We ask the Republicans of Ohio TO have
one million copies printed on large
broadside, post them up everywhere,
read them in all churches and In every
public assemblage, until Legislature
shall be chosen expressly to erase the i'm
famous thing from the statute book. Do
let us have this airocity aired, until even
its vile authors shall be heartily asham-
ed of it." ai
We have reason to know that more
than one member of the House of Rep
resentatives is ashamed of this Baber

gulation. 1t IL the child of the Senate

LnTTEns ON THE srnIso ELEcr1os

LETTERS ON THE SPRING ELECTION
ELECTION IN WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
To ne ktihbf ofthe belmont Ciro,tctsi
SIR--Our election yesterday passed off
quietly. Some feared IL would be other
wise. The Democrats to the number Of
four or five, 1t was said, met month be-
fore and nominated what they claimed
to he strong ticket, and passed a solemn
resolution, plcdging the unterrified
Democracy of Washington Township
to stand by Andy johnson, at all haz-
ards." Some thought 1t looked like fight;
but nothing of the kind was intended, as
the authors protested they were of the
old Peace Democracy, and did MT mean
fight. With this explanation the DEM
ocratic mind became more calm, and this
morning, although our surrounding hills
are covered with snow, "All is quiet on
the Potomac"
The Gazette orator, "S. d. IT," who,
last fall at The flag presentation, at St.
Clairsville, "pledged his unbounding
influence, as it were" to the support of
the Democratic party, hereafter, was
the Democratic candidate for Treasurer.
But, Notwithstanding these extraordina-
ry influences, the whole Democratic
ticket was beaten, by, from 80 to 40 votes
This larger majority than the Union
party usually gets at a Spring election in
this township, and gain of 10 to 15 on
the last Falls vote.
The township is good for, at leafs SO
majority for Grant, next fall.
Some malicious persons in the Demo-
cratic ranks are claiming that their in
creased loss is owing to the "unbounding
influence, as it were" of their candidate
for Treasurer. Others attribute it to the
fighting Endorsement resolution, to stand
by Johnson, at all hazards. They say il
the last three words of the resolpsion had
been 'ioftsopt, the election might have
gone Inherently. How this is of course
do not profess to know.

THE ELECTION IN UNION TOWNSHIP.
To The Editor ofthe Belmont Chronicle: 5 5..
SIR is well enough sometimes for
are done by other folks. We therefore,
propose giving the readers of the CHRoN-
ICLE an idea of how elections are con-
Quoted in Union Township.
The polls were opened on. the 9th inst.
at the usual hour in the morning, and
voting progressed quietly until the mid.
die of the day, when it was noticeable
that the fluid, provided by The Demo-
cratic candidates for electioneering par-
poses, was beginning to warm up the
blood. Against evening it was almost
impossible for the Judges to make the
Clerks hear whose name they desired
recorded, SO loud were the curses and
imprecations of those erowding around
the Clerks table. One ardent Demo-
crat was threatening the Trustees with
the extreme penalty of the law, for al
lowing two other, equally ardent Demo-
Gratis 10 vote, who, he stated, had dis
tinct and visible admixture of African
blood, and he entered his protest and in
tended to contest the election. Finally
the polls were closed, and the counting
began amid increased confusion. The
ex-Auditor called upon the Mayor, who,
by the way, was one of the Judges of the
election, to preserve order, but he (the
Mayor made no attempt at having Or
der restored. The Constable was then
appealed to- who treated the request in
like manner. Finally it eliminated in
l.. Bramhall, who was more profane
and boisterous than all the rest, getting
knocked fairly upon the Clerks table,
extinguishing the light, upsetting the
ballots. and playing smash generally
The Clerks saved their roll books and
the Judges scraped up all the ballots they
could and made their exit, feeling that
a Bar Room was rather an unhealthy
place to remain longer.
In another room they finished their
work, and reported the entire Democrat
ic ticket elected.
The Corporation election was not quite
SO successful. By wire-working in the
nominating Convention, they had placed
DIR. P. r. Chapman at he head of their
ticket for Mayor. The Republicans ran
DIR. "A. j. Hogue as an independent can
didate, and the better portion of the
Democrats supporting him he was elect
ed, much to the discontinue of P. r.
and his friends.
The combattants pumbled each other
sorely, 1t being a free Democratic fight
in which no Republicans mixed, we did
not care much which whipped.
Now if there is any other set of Demo-
cratic officers, in any township in this
county who can exercise more forbear-
ance and virtue, than those of Union
Township, we should like to know who
they are. SPECTATOR.
