MONEY VICTORIOUS.
FIRST ASS OF THE SEASON.

Under the above heads-varied
slightly-the Courier makes "mucb
blow" over the fact that at the Band
Fair, Pendleton got more votes tor
President than Grant. There is moi
much to glorify over. If Grants
friends had had ''lsw-maker" and
as Pendleton calls them an "infernal
tax -gatherer'' to invest money in vot-
ing, he might possibly have got s
majority. But the hugest joke in
the whole matter is that the Courier
says that the gold headed cane will
be presented to Pendleton at the
rooms of the Hancock delegation IN
Columbus on the. Sth. We don't be-
lieve it will be dOne-know it won t.
The cane now is in the parlor Of the
owner, Jno. c. Martin, and is likely
to remain there, as it was present,
and is much priced. Rather think
the Courier man was sold in regard
to the cane. and that if the loving De.
mocracy want to give q cane to Pen
dleton they will have to buy one.
Take in your Chapman.

Fenian OutrageS'

In the hope that it might afford
their brethren an opportunity to es-
cape, the Fenians of London blew up
the wall of the Clerkepwell prison,
with keg of powder, a short time
since. The explosion was SO great
as to throw down sixty feet of the
massive wall, entirely demolished 3
house opposite, and injured thirty
other dwellings in the vicinity
Three persons were killed, and some
eighty wounded, many fatally.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
on Saturday night last, to blow up
the Dublin post ONCE. various 9TH
er outrages, disgraceful to the cause
have recently occurred. In many
places in this country Fenian meet
Iings have been held, and' resolutions
denouncing such acts as the above
have been adopted. Tst-

REMOVALS..

By an order of the President, is-
sued on the 2Sth ult., Gen. Ord was
relieved of his commsnd of the Fourth
Military District aud ordered to Cal
ifornia, and Gan. Mcdowell takes his
command. Gen. Pope by the same
order was relieved of the command
of the Third Military District, and
Gen. Meade ordered to take his place.
What the reasons are for these re
movals is not known; though it i:
presumable that it is because these
Generals carry out the letter ant
spirit of the Congressional enact
nents too faithfully to suit the re
doubtable Al. Congress has many

Senator Morton, of Indiana, one
of the ablest statesmen of the North
west, and by no means the most
Radical man of the Republican party,
gives no sign of retreat or demorali-
cation. In his address delivered
before the Soldiers and Sailors
Union of Washington, On Wednes-
day evening, upon '"The Issues of
1885," he boldly proclsims that the
Congressional plan OF reconstruction
is in issue on one hand, and rebel
reconstruction ON the other. The
States of the South are now being
rapidly reconstructed on the Con-
plan, and nothing but the
most utter folly on the part Of South
ern Radicals can prevent the CON-
pletion OF the work.

The first of the spring elections
will take place in New Hampshire on
the second Tuesday Of March. The
Democrats are making desperate ef-
torts to elect their. candidates, and
have gained fresh courage from
their recent successes in the Middle
and Western States. The overthrow
OF the prohibitory law in Massachu-
setts has inspired them with the hope
that they may make capital ont of a
similar act on the New Hampshire
statute book. They are, therefore,
instituting secret leagues, like those
which proved so efflcacious in Mas
sschusetts in defeating prohibition,
though not in killing Republicanism.
Their success in this line will not be
very great. The New Hampshire
prohibltery law was passed by the
Know-NOthIngs in 1855 F.; hence, the
Republicans are not responsible for
it; it lacks the inquisitorial features
which.made the Massachusetts statute
so obnoxious and, besides, has
been a dead letter in nearly every
town In the State from the day of
its passage. The Republicans are
not committed In any way to the
support of the law, and its repeal
would not be Democratic victory.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

The Democracy of Holmes county
have said "our voice is still for wal" F"
A mass convention was recently held
in that reliable Democratic hole, for
the purpose of appointing delegates
to the 9Th of January Convention at
Columbus. AS is customary on such
occasions, resolutions we're adopted
which were substantially as follows !:
Il. All Democrats in attendance
from Holmes county are authorized
to cast the vote of the county.
.. An endorsement of the Holmes
County Farmer for its advocacy OF
of the claims of C.. L. Vallandigham
for U. S. Senator.
8. That in the late campaign. Val
landigham was announced as the can
didate, and the only one of the party,
for the position of U. S. Senator /;
his eminent patriotism in defense of
Democratic principles, in the hour
that tried mems souls, his statesman
ship, etc., ETC., entitle him to the po-
sition.
4. Wants to know why S. S. Cox
was introduced to deliver his speech
in behalf of the bondholders and
Wall Street swindlers,a at Democratic
meeting in Columbus in disregard of
all the issues OF the late campaign
and why it was published in the Ohio
Statesman on the eve of election and
circulated throughout the State, there
by defeating the State ticket and
furnishing the only candidate for U.
S. Senator, in opposition to Val; that
the mystery is still greater by the
neglect of the State Democratic Com
mittee to contest the illegal election
of the Republican State ticke,.
5. Requests that the Democratic
Senators and Representatives vote
for C. L. Vallandigham for U. S.
Senator.
Undoubtedly Holmes county will
be liberslly represented in Columbus
on the 9Th inst, by the masses, and
we presume they will make it as
warm as can be conveniently borne by
those who favor Thurman for Sena-
tor. Besides Holmes, several other
counties are going to allow any one
who chooses to attend, to cast their
vote, and these persons are warm
friends of Vallandigham and viii
work for his interests. BY the way who
is the choice Of the Hancock Democ-
raey for Senator? Is it Vallsndigham?
Now Is good time to do something
considerably more substantial than
contributing to the dime fund-there
is an opportunity to fill his pocket
and put him in an honorable po-
sition. We think Hancock should
stand by him for didn't the heroic
Democracy used to sing
Yes we'll rally round the flag boys,
Wen rally onoe't agin
shoutin valIandygum and freejum."

BROWN VS.. SMITH.

/ :
EDITORS JEFF.--I noticed in the
last issue of your paper. an inquiry
as to the name of the first white child
born in Hancock County. Ihaye also
seen letter from one Smith, in which
he claims that the name of the first
born was prima faeis John Smith
He says that the Jones'can make but
shadow of showing by the side
of the Smiths and says nothing what
ever about the Browns. This claim
is quite characteristic of the conceit-
ed Smith family. With them, every
thing is Smith or nothing. Isuppose
they never heard of the Browns
One thing 1 know-they are not will
ling to give the Brows credit for any
thing mot even for being good look
ing. What others have often noticed
and admired. they do not seem capa-
BILE of apprecisting. The Browns are
not vain. They, however, feel thank
full for what nature has done for them
in her graceful mood. "But," saysa
Smith, 81 have heard Of q Brown who
was hung in Virginia. of another who
died in the Penitentiary in New York,
and of third, the notorious coun-
terfeiter Jim Brown, Of the Western
Reserve. ".This is just the style of the
Smiths. Bullet me say to them, ,"men
living in glass houses should not
throw stones" If all 1 know about
the Smiths was made public, the
Penitentiary and even the gallows
might not always be cheated of their
victims. These Smiths are a great
bore-always egotistical and assum-
ing If the Smiths ever provoke
a quarrel with them, as they are likely
to do if they keep on claiming every
thug, they will get more improved
idea of the Browns. and, before they
are through, will wish they had kept
on good terms with them.
But Messrs Editors, l claim that
the first child of any color, born in
Hancock County, was Brown; or
at least, nearer a Brown than q Smith.
Now for the proof. A careful ex-
shows about two hundred
and fifty Browns in the county, whilst
a like examination shows only eighty
four John Smiths. Now when wei
consider that nearly all the Smiths
are named John, it is easy to perceive
that the Browns largely prepon-
derate, and that prima tacie the first
child of any color born in said county
was Brown.
Are the Smiths willing to consider
this a settlement of this yexed ques-
5ion.? If not, let them show their
colors. The Browns are ready for
them. BROWN.

The statistics elected by the Ways
and Means Committee, in its inves-
tigation of the whisky frauds. show
that the Government has collected
only eighteen cents instead of two
dollars per gallon. These statistics
were based on the data furnished by
the records of the Revenue Bureau,
and did not include any estimate for
the losses which the Government has
sustained since June last. Il Is prob
able that the detailed statement will
show that less than nine cents per
gallon have been collected during the
present fiscal year.
