False And True Prophets

The World and other Democratic
newspapers by statistics of mortality
are endeavoring 20 show the superi-
ority of r. E. Lee to General Grant
during the war. These same papers
were necessarily contrasting Presi-
dent Davis and the "tyrant Lincoln. .
TO the disadvantage of the latter
In point of craftsmanship the De-
mocracy thought there was no com.
parison between the two. As Lee
got his reputation as General by
whipping Mcclellan, it follows OF
course that either he was considera.

erable of humbug.
This year, if Mr.. Pendleton is NOM
mated, the Copperhead press will be

declared the war Failure" and did
all in his power to make 1t failure,
is greater statesman than the Gen

CAPTURE OF A HoRNEp WHA1E.

CAPTURE OF A HORNED WHALE
A most extraordinary sea monster,
regular ringed streaked and striped
devil fish, was captured in Charleston
harbor, on Friday, by some colored
fishermen, near the wreck of the gun
boat Housatonic. One of the men
feeling bite, thought that he would
play his fish awhile, and then draw it
in; but to his terror and dismay, and
that of his brother fisherman, huge
monster, such as they had never be-
fore seen, leaped into the boat. and
was so savage that they were compel
led to kill it, in self defence. 1t was
nine feet four inches in length, and
five feet ten inches in breadth; had a
square head, with large square eyes,
and was spotted on the back, with a
white belly. +

R The most important feature of

R The most important feature OF
the Congressional proceedings, for
the past week, was the passage of
the bill admitting to representation
the States of North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and
Louisiana. The bill is to take effect
as soon as these States shall ratify
the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, known as Ar
ticle IA. The democrats, not want
ing the 'little unpleasantness" to be
healed, and the States restored 10
their proper position in the govern
ment, voted solid against the bill. 1t
is believed that the President will
not vete it, but allow it to become a
law by the expiration of the eonsti-
tutlonsl ten days. Thus is Recon
structien going forward, and harmo-
no and peace being restored. Had
not johnson, and his democratic
hackers, stood in the way, the thing
would have been accomplished long
ago.

The foreign citizen has, therefore,
deep interest in maintaining the con

under a construction given to that
instrum ent In order to exclude this
class of voters, they put into the
hands of the General Assembly and

These dishonest democrats talk as

that question; the question is, shall
the constitution be construed and

new brood of democrats, in order TO
obtain power in union with Southern
rebels, be permitted to violate that
constitution and force upon it By the
brute force of a dishonest majority new

cy, it is pure question of law, which

@ There is no longer any room
TO doubt that Chief Justice Chase ex-
poets to receive the Democratic nom
ination for President, and will accept
it if rendered. There is almost as
little room for doubt that the Demo
cratic leaders have sold out the cred
ulous Chief Justice, whose blind am
bition makes him as incapable of
gauging men as a baby. 1t is the
most sad and humiliating spectacle
in history, to see a great name, the
product Of years of patient labor and
careful probity, peddled about from
one political party to another, as
the personal capital of its possesser,
which he is willing to dispose of to

his resignation, a few days since, as
signing as a reason therefor, the incsm-
potency and dishonesty of the appoint
ments made by the President since he
undertook to "reorganize" the demo
cratic party. They were stealing from
the people yearly from 80 to 100 mill
ions of dollars, and the Commissioner
refuses any longer to have anything to
do with such wholesale thieving.

that it was ''unjust and disrespectful to

DIED,

BLAZER-In Green township, May Sd, 1868,
Mrs Elizabeth Blazer, in the 92d year of her
age.
Her maiden name was Knsley. She was born,
and grew to womanhood in the state of Pennsyl-
vania in which State she was joined in marriage
to Philip Blazer on the 26th of March, 1893 In
1906 the young couple left their native State,
came to Ohio and settled in Gallia county,
whore, like most of the earlier settlers of our
country, they had necessarily, to endure the
hardships and privatIons of pioneer life. With
the 1irniness of purpose, patience, and vigor of
body and mind characteristic of those early set
tiers, their circumstances in life were soon made
comfortable and they became orderly, pious and
highly respectable citizens of the community in
which they resided Prior to leaving their ma
tive State, they became members ofthe Lutheran
Church. On coming to Ohio, there being no
branch of that church within reach they Joined
the first, old school Presbyterian church, and
such was their love for the means of grace that
while there was no church building for the ac-
commodation of the people, their ministers were
invited TO preach to the people at their own pri-
vate residences.
Mrs. Blazer has been widow since 1913. She
was the mother of eleven children. Two died in
infancy; three lived to have families of their
own, and then passed on before her to the better
land, while six are still living.
The closing up of Mrs. Blazers pilgrimage
was peaceful, and she rests in hope of a blissffi
immortality. She trusted in him who brought
life and immortality to light through the Gospel
May her children all meet her in heaven.

consistent in his hate, is yet honest

it would be useless to deny it.
