A RUMoR reaches us from Columbus,
that the Green-backs, perhaps more prop
erly the Grdy-backs, have some notion
of adjourning until the warm weather is
over. They have run out of schemes for
the advancement of themselves and their
party, and it is probable that there is
some truth in the rumor. The continu-
ancs of such Legislature for 100 days
has been sore trial to the people of Ohio,
and they may well pray for deliveranee
from a similar affliction in the future
Negro rule would be bad enough, but
nothing to compare to this kind of rule.

WE take pleasure In calling the atten-
tion Of our readers 10 The advertisement
of Munson's Copper Tubular Lightning
Rod, in this weeks paper. This Rod has
been recently put on the Court House,
and several other buildings about st.
Clairsville. This Rod Is made Of Copper,
and possesses conducting surface Of fuor
inches, which makes 1t equal 10 solid
copper rod over an inch thick. The con-
Quoting power Of copper is eight times as
great MS that OF iron, and with the In
creased surface on account Of its tubular
form, one of these rods is equal to
twenty ordinary iron rods. The points
are gold or silver plated, and the Insula-
tors, or fang attachments by which the
rod is fastened to the buildings is great
improvement upon anything we have
seen in use. Read the advertisement.

This admirable piece Of work, broad,
strong, and boldly presented, is such as
all men who rejoiced from their hearts
at Grants victories, may stand upon side
by side with him and ColfaX. There is
no place upon its surface nor within its
structure for Conservatism, Copperhead-
ism or "My Policy" While it invites
the erring to return to the fold of loyal
ty, it bears upon its every part an un-
qualified reiteration of the principles for
which Grant fought, and accepts, with
out hesitation or evasion, the stupen-
dous results which have ensued since
the last Republican National Convention |
by the final triumph Of the Union arms.
Strong, self-respectful, unmistakable
and replete with earnestness, the Ma
tional Republican Union party thus for
mally and with dignity blazons its prin-
ciples to the world and manfully throws
down the gauntlet in the presence of its
sworn antagonist the Democratic Party.
