TI,e First Gun.

On Monday the special election IN
the Eighth District, to fill the vacancy
occssionsd by the tragical death of Hon.
G. S. Hamilton, resulted in splendid
victory for the Republicans, Gen. Beat
ty being elected by majority of 500,
a gain of 600 over the vote for Hayes
last Fall. This election, in itself of
trifing importance, is of special signif-
icance as showing the setting back Of
the tide and the beginning of another
reaction. The Democracy has showed
its cloven foot and the people have tax
en- warning. The campaign was short
and the fight fair. Gen. Beatty is able,
personally popular and was assisted on
the stump by some of the best men in
Ohio. The enemy were active and
spent money literally. Burns the
Democratic candidate, was an ex-ofhcer
of the army and popular man. The
best Democratic talent in the State was
on the stump for him and his friends
confdentally expected his election.
Each party brought Quilts full strength
and the result foreshadows splendid
victory for Grant next November.

A Market House.

Last Monday evening Oscar Ball,
Esq, submitted to the City Council a
proposition to sell to the city his lot on
Front Street, adjoining that now owned
by the corporation and set apart fer
market purposes. Its purchase would
secure ample ground for an Engine
House for the First Ward, and a first
class market house for the city. 1t is
perfectly clear to us that good market
house would be a great advantage to
both producers and consumers, saving
to them the profits now passing into
dealers pockets, and putting an end to
the present system of running" which
blocks our main street and is an endless
annoyance to everybody. But the ex-
travagance of our council have made
such measure as this simply imposi-
bic. The city credit is entirely destroy
ed. City orders viii neither buy the
lot or build the house, and working
men must be content TO pay their hard
earned dollars into the pockets Of pro-
vision dealers and work more hours a
day for their scanty living.

THE sJOU RN AL.
The stRfe Convention.

The State Central COMMITTEES has
named the 4th Of March as the time for
the Republican Convention for the nom
instion of State officers. This early
call has not been made without due
consultation with the Republican MEM
bers of the Legislature and party lead
ers in various sections of the State, and
we believe the event will prove that it
has not been made too early. The
campaign Of '6s will be the most i'm
portant and exciting for many years and
we cannot buckle on our armor too
soon.
The ISSUES al the Spring Election in
this city and county are sharp and in
many of the townships the contest will
be close. Some Of the Republican
townships have TO wipe out the record
of last Falls election aud loyal men in
sll of them need TO be wide awake.
In Fremont a Democratic council
supported by Democratic press, muz-
zled by patronage, has piled up debt
of s2O,ooo and steadily fought every
movement for the building up of the
permanent interests Of the town. The
shameless swindling of this corrupt
party must be vetoed by the voters of
honest men and the city saved from
financial ruin and the gradual decay
which is sure to follow. We need full
Republican vote in the Spring elections
10 show the people that the ';grest
reaction" was only momentary setting
back of the loyal tide, which will yet
carry us into a safe port and 10 strength
en- our hands for the battle we must
win next Fall. l .ose d
The County Convention for the ap-
pointment of delegates to the State
Convention will be called soon, and nc
more favorable time than this, will Offer
for the adoption of plans for the com.
ing campaigns. We hope our party
leaders will not let it pass unimproved,

The early date of the State Conyen-
ton has called out the names Of can
didates for the few offices to be filed.
For Supreme Judge and Member of the
Board of Public Works the old incum-
bents will meet with little opposition.
For Secretary of State three candidates
are already named. DR.. Williams of
the State Auditors Office, Russell, who
has just been appointed by the Govet-
nor, rice Smith resigned and Gen. ].
K. Sherwood of Williams county, who
will without doubt carry the whole
strength of Northwestern Ohio. Gen.
Sherwood made an excellent record in
the army and is in every waE qualified
for the Office, and in view of the fact
that this section has held only two Of
fees at the capital since the Republican
party was organized we have no doubt
that the claims of Gen. Sherwood's
friends will be regarded with favor by
delegates from other parts of the State.

The Contract system .

Every man who is brought before
our ward caucuses next Spring as a can
didate for Office, ought to be required
to pledge himself to support the con-
tract system for all our city work. Now,
the Street Commissioner is an au-
tocrat SO far as regards the city orders.
He issues when he pleases, to whom he
pleases and for what amount he pleases.
He can order the men employed on
corporation work to grade down door
yard or a garden lot for any of our
citizens, put the money for the work in
his own pocket pay the lsborers in or
ders and no man The wiser for it. By
little eonniving between him and the
city clerk, Winners lager accounts at
Remy's and Botefur's livery and other
bills could be cancelled by city orders
that is If people who do cash bust
ness could be induced to take them
and there is no end 10 the fraud and
corruption which our present system
can be made to cover. The contract
system is better for the working men.
Under it they will get good pay for a
fair days work. If they get more un-
der the present system it is charity, SO
much given them which they do not
earn. We do not believe that our able
bodied working men need 10 be propped
up by any such charity. All of them
at least all of them who are Of any
use to us-are too honest to be parties
to a swindle and too proud to beg even
of corporation. The contract system
would cut off only rogues and idlers
and the city cannot afford to pay for the
support of such for the sake of their
votes. Let us elect men. next Spring
who will see that justice is done to the
city as well as the workingmen.

Letter from washington

WASHINGTON, DEC. JAM, 9th 1865.
Editors JoutTdl.-During the past ten or
twelve days more exciting news has, prob
ably, transpired than at any other previous
time OF the same length since the organiza-
ton Of the 4Oth Congress. Within that time
the Senate has put Stanton in his office again,
johnson has howled over the affair, his
friends have made great many statements
about the integrity of Gen. Grant, his dis
obliging orders and court. martial, of an
order from his Excellency which would for
bid the recognition of Stanton &c. But in
all this sort of thing there has been more
chaff than substance. There are no new
developments in regard to the above of any
importance to the public. Its believed that
something viii be made out of it, if possible,
by the Copperheads to injure and weaken
Gen. Grant. Stanton will probably retain
Lis place as Secretary of War for some time
to come however much the President may
want him out of the way.
The great work of the past week was the
passage of Mr.. Bingham's Reconstruction
Bill. Mr.. Bingham never did quite as we'll
as in his last speech on this bill. The
provisions of the bill are already known TO
your readers. The copperhead side of the
House have been weeping and wailing over
the constitution, SO trampled and so violated.
The country is ruined, and all i, lost, they
say. But this is no new sound
The House has also shown great wisdom
in passing the. Supreme Court Bill. 1t is
reported however that some Senators regard
it as unconstitutional. The tSc,.ats will give
is opinion on this when it is brought before
it. ,t
The Bill repeating The tax ON cotton final
ly passed. 1t repeals that provision of the
present tariff law by which foreign cotton
pays duty of three cents per pound.
The House Committee on Banks has SUBJ
staniially agreed 10 Bill authorizing the
several State Legislatures to tax the share
holders, of National Banks, resident within
their respective States.
In the case OF the contested seat, now held
by Gen. Morgan, tie House Committee are
still at work. The Gen. has Judge Wood
ward of Pennsylvania as his counsel. Mr..
Delano has Mr.. Walter Smith of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, to assist him. The case has been
long and tiresome one for all concerned.
The speech of Senator Dolittie, of Wiscon-
sin, made in the Senate last Thursday on
the new Reconstruction Bill was probably
the greatest effoit of his life, He prepared
himself with closely written, carefully
wordod-speech Of three hours, which he read
from manuscript. The document will doubt
less be the law and doctrine of the cop party
in the coming campaign.
The crowning event of the present Session,
occurred on Friday last at which time Sena-

EuIOgy ON Hamilton.

The eulogies on Hon. C. s. Hamilton,
the late Representative from the Sth
District, were delivered in the House
on Thursday last by Lawrence, Morgan,
Buckland and Welker. We publish
below the eloquent tribute of Gen.
Buckland to the memory of his honored
colleague and beloved friend:
Mr.. Speaker, the eloquent and APP
propriate remarks of my colleagues on
this occasion leave little for me to add,
bat esteem it a great privilege to have
an opportunity of recording my con-
curence in all that has been said of the
pure and noble character of our lamen-
ted friend.
Ny first acquaintance with Mr.. Ham
ilton was as member of the Ohio
Senate in 1856. l soon discovered him
to be man whose society and friend
ship it was profitable to seek and to cul-
tivate, and it was my good fortune very
soon to form an intimate and reciprocal
friendship with him, which continued
without a moments interruption to the
day If his sad death.
l was standing by his seat on this
floor, conversing with him, when he re-
eeived dispatch from home giving the
first unwelcome news of the illness Of
his son, Thomas. The sudden change
which the reading of that dispatch pro-
duced in his countenance is still fresh
in my mind. In answer to an inquiry
from me be stated the nature of his sons
illness, and expressed. his fears as to the
result. He spoke most tenderly of his
son, and said he had been a remarkably
good and faithful boy, and was his main
reliance for the care Of his family and
affairs in his absence, and had never
before exhibited any symptoms of aber
ration of mind. l saw my friend fol
the last time as he was about leaving
the hotel, the same evening, to take the
cars for home; bidding me as he clasped
my hand a sorrowful adieu. A few
short >days and the heart-sickenine
news was sent over the country, with
lightning speed, that my friend was
dead by the hand of this unfortunate
son, whom he loved so well. Mr.
Speaker, that terrible tragedy is too sad
to dwell upon.
