Crops In Jefferson County.
The Tendencies of Population and
BUSINESS.
sTEUBENvI1IE, O., June IL, '6s.


STEUBENvTLLE, o., June IL, '6S.
Farmers and stock raisers from all
parts of the country, who are now in
town attending Court, give glowing
accounts of the grain and fruit pros
poets; and unless some very untoward
accident occurs there will be an abnnd-
ance in the fall, unparalleled by that of
many years past. 1t is not TO be as
sumed from this that Jefferson county
will produce more grain in quantity,
but only more in proportion to the
area cultivated. Each year finds more
attention given to stock raising, and
more lands devoted to stock raising
purposes and less to the production of
marketable cereals. Whether this adds
more to the permanent wealth of this
county is yet to be determined.
But one influence 1t certainly has, it
is thinning out the rural population.
The land is being held by fewer owners,
in larger bodies, and Is requiring fewer
hands for its care. The large land
owners are absorbing the properties of
the smaller ones, who in turn are NOV
ing westward where lands are cheaper.
IL is not to be inferred from this that
the population of the county is grow
ing less. On the contrary II is quite
sensibly increasing. Foreign capital
and muscle is being attracted by the
quantity and quality of our mineral
resources. Wealth is slowly but surely
coming in for its development. ana
the strong arms that do WORE are OBEY
ing the laws that drive them where
work is to do. Our population is not
diminishing, it is changing. or farm
farmers we have fewer, but of miners,
mechanics, manufacturers we have
greater numbers. This transition has
been going on for many years ana
would havo been more rapid If the old
foH, ifSalf In fPRHI-
tons had accepted II as inevitable
and prepared for it. A place may
have the character of its perma-
nent industries unhXed for years.
Contentedness with little matters, fear
of change, horror of new things new
inventions, new ideas and new races
may for time prevent place from
settling down to its life work. But the
years which elbow one generation
with their shriVelled ideas OFT the stage
and another with their younger, fresher
and fuller ones on, will in the end set
tie 1t all. This is the way some places
reach their destiny. 1t Is not exactly
so with US. But TO some extent II is.
With mineral and other sources unpar-
alleled in the valley of the Ohio, with
two great railroads connecting us with
the east and west, with manufacturing
advantages that cannot be surpassed,
yet we are in the rear of other places
without one-tenth OF our natural adj
vantages. The golden apples, skill,
capital and energy, have often been
extended TO US, but the hands that
should have reached for them did not.
This spirit has now almost passed
away. The whirr or wheels and the
smoke of furnaces are being accepted
as inevitable destiny. And IL the char
acler nfunderlying deposits ever con-
troll such things II Will before many
years I'LL this city with din and envel-
ope II in smoke.

VICTORY.
Hon, ne Berketev U,.to,,.


Never did the Union party OF this
State, enter upon a campaign with
more cheering prospects than this. Ev-
erywhere from all parts OF the State,
comes to us cheering news of our pros
poets for success. Throughout the State
in nearly every county, Republicans
arc at work completing their organiza-
ton. Journals are getting ready for
the campaign; additional subscribers
are being secured; while some who had
fallen asleep by the wayside,. are
waking up and buckling on their ar
NOR. Apostates and prodigals are
coming back. Indeed we have
heard smen who never before
voted the Republican ticket, aver
that they will now do it. II the ma
tional tldket and platform, have as
sisted in producing this result, not less
has the strong popular State ticket ad-
ded TO our strength. We start out with
a Governor, whose ability and popu-
larity is admitted by his enemies as
well as asserted by his friends. So with
the rest of the ticket. Then on this
ticket we inscribe the motto "Victory."
For victory will perch upon our BAN
neFS.

We presume that after Hon. William
f. Stevenson is elected Governor of our
State, we are to sorrowfully witness u
the exodus of "20, 600 more of the best
men in the State"-2O,O0 OF the cop
perhead democracy. We meanwhile
have heretofore so often declared their
intention to "Ieave the State rather
than be ruled by the internal aboli-
tionists.
The Union men doubtless recollect
the threats-the terrible threats made by
the JEFF Davis Democracy to ''leave the
State" provided the registry law was
passed. The law was passed, we be-
iieve, without consulting the "cops"
and we never heard of the departure of
30, 00O," or even one-twentieth of the
the number. However, as the cry is
stereotyped, we presume they will
again set up the long, loud howl. and
make preparations to depart for Dixie,

cleveland and Warrington Railway.


Cleveland and Washington Railway.
A bill Is before the House of Repre-
sentatives, introduced by Mr.. Getz. of
Pennsylvania, and referred to the
Committee on Roads and Canals, "to
authorize the construction of railroad
and telegraph line from the City of
Washington, District of Columbia, TO
the City of Cleveland, In the Slate OF
Ohio, in the nearest direct liue," TO be
known as "the Atlantic and Northern
Lakes Railroad and Telegraph Compa-
ny" The bill authorizes the copstruc-
ton OF the railway between the two
points "by the most feasible route"
and gives authority TO extend the rail-
way and telegraph from Cleveland to
any other point on the lakes within the
| Jurisdiction of the United States that
may be deemed advisable by the COM
pany, which would include Toledo and
Chicago. Permission is also given to
extend the eastern end TO any point on
the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay,
in Virginia and Maryland. The pro-
posed line is to be a "cheap freight rail-
way htle company owning the tracks,
which are to be free to all persons de-
string to run their own engines and
cars over it under the regulations ofthe
company, thus placing the railway on
| the same footing as canal. Another
clause permits the receipt, in payment
of stock or as donation, of mineral
lands, ITO be operated and the products
carried to market in such manner as to
red uce the price thereof to consumers
and purchasers" The line is to be
made post route and military road.
The capital stock is 10 be $50. 900, 600, in
shares of $50 each.
a letter from one of corporators
marks out the projected line as from
Cleveland via Cleveland and Pitts
town; thence to Freeport, Pa; thence
to Latrobe. on the Pennsylvania Cen
trail; thence by the Cumberland Valley
TO Hancock, Nd; thence by the Beine
Branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, or Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to Leesburgh, Va; thence by London
and Hampshire Railroad to Washing
d. c., and the Potomac, and by an ex-
tension to the Chesapeake bay" Sub
stituting Cleveland and Mahoning for
Cleveland and Pittsburgh, which was
probably a mistake, the route to Free
port Pa, would be direct line, and
would be over the route of the old
Northwestern Railroad, intended as
continuation of the Mahoning line
eastwardly, and this line produced
reaches Iatrobe. Between Latrobe
and Hancock, Nd, there must be an
entirely new line built.
! The Committee on Roads and Canals,
to which the bill has been sent, is COM
posed of Eve Western and FIVE East
ern men, headed by B. G, Cook, of ILL
nofs.
1t will be seen that this is an entirely
different scheme from the proposed dt-
rest line from Cleveland to Washing
ton, formed by the combination of one
of the roads from Cleveland to Pitts.

1 noticed in the Weekly Register, a
short time since, IA letter from our
county, over the signature OF Union,
claiming that the Democratic Conser-
tive party had carried the municipal
election of Spencer: that Hiram Chap
man, Conservative, was elected
Mayor by large majority over Henry
Clay Smith, the Radical Republican
candidate.
The fact is, that our town casts u
nearly unanimous Republican vote.
No nomination for town officers was
made, but some one prepared some
tickets with Henry Clay Smith
Council, all undoubted Republicans.
Mr.. smith was then Mayor, and there
were five Republican Councilman, who
it is understood, were opposed TO grant
ing liquor license. Advantage was
taken of the absence of one of the
Councilmen, and n vote was taken on
liquor license question. Two counclmen
voted against, and did not vote and one
voted for license, and under the law
the Mayor was entitled to u vote, and
Mr.. Smith voted for license, which
made tie vote, and under the law, the
Mayor had the cnsting vote, and MIR.
Smith cast the vote for license. This
cans, not the Democrats, for who ever
heard of Democrat being opposed to
liquor?
On the day of the election, one of our
strongest Republicans suggested the
name of Hiram Chapman for Mayor in
stead OF Mr.. Smith, because of the lat
teris action on the liquor question. The
five Republican councilmen were
unanimously elected, and the vote for
Mayor was tie between Smith and
Chapman, and under the law, the Off
Ger presiding at the election gave the
casting vote for Mr.. Chapman. Three OF
the votes cast for Chapman were con-
sidered to be illegal, but there was no
contest. Mr.. Chapman was Captain
during the war, was several times rob-
bed by the rebels, and now has no love
for them. He claims to be Union
man, and the Republicans are satisfied.
eRoane is one of the strongest Repubii-
can counties in the State, and will
again show 1t this fall.

The Republican state Ticket.
Fron "a BerkeltW Uniol.

We are most intimately acquainted
with the Hon. w. L. Stevenson, the
Republican nominee for Governor of
this State. He is plain man, OF
modest, unassuming manners, yet a
man of ability, of sterling worth and
interchangeable industry. His loyalty
has been tried and most severely tested.
If elected, Mr.. Stevenson will do honor
to the gubernatorial chair. The rest of
the ticket is also strong. Captain
Thomas Borgess. Is especially a good
Auditor. As to the other candidates,
though, we are not personally ac-
quainted with them, yet we are satisfied
they are all good men.
AS much as many regret the defeat
of other candidates for nomination to
Congress, all unite in saying that MI.
j. G. McGrew, Is good man, and will
If elected make us good Congress-
man. Having been for several weeks
most intimately associated with him in
the investigation into the affairs of the
Insane Asylum, and during that time
had an opportunity OF observing his
excellent business qualifications, most
fully tested in that investigation, we
can assure our friends that he is a num-
Der one man; capable, and we'll fitted
TO discharge the duties of that Office.
He certainly will do honor to the I'd
Congressional District.
In this issue of the Republican, we
place at the head of our columns, the
candidates of the Union Republican
party for the various State offices. The
ticket is good one; and deserves, and
will no doubt receive, the hearty sup
port of every Union man in West V1r-
Qinia. Hon. William E. Stevenson, of
Wood county, the candidate for Gov
ernor, is In every way qualified for the
position. He is honest and capable,
and fitting representative of the prin-
ciples Of the great party which nomi-
mated him. The remainder ofthe ticket
is composed of men who did good SER
vice in the armies of the Union. and
the Convention recognized the claims
of these gallant men when they placed
them in nomination. We are now
ready for the conflict. Let the enemy
come on!
The bill admitting North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Ala
bamR aud Louisiana to representation
in Congress has passed the House of
Representatives and gone to the Presi-
dent for approval. The bill admitting
Arkansas is now before him. Thus by
the action OF Congress seven of the ten
unreconstructed States are placed in
their Positions The reconstruction
policy of Congress- has triumphed as
conclustyeIy as that of Johnson has
failed. In few more weeks MissIs-
sippt and Virginia will DO knocking
for admission; and Texas will not be
long in following. Then will the prob
lem of reconstruction be fully and
dually solved, and the anarchy and
chaos lett by the war aupplRnted by q
triumphant reconstruction, on the basis
of Freedom and Equal Rights.
