Political Items.

Hon. Galusha A. Grow is said to be the
coming senator from Pennsylvania.
Sierra is the banner Republican coun-
ty of California, having in vote Of 2,l22
given Grant 534 majority.
John G. Whittier, the poet, is warm
advocate of the eminent fitness of Senator
Sumner for the State Department.
Mr.. Bernal Osborne, who lately ran
for parliament for Nottingham and was de-
feated, says that he was offered fifty votes
for sixty. shillings, and two hundred for
half crown apiece, but as they would not
have elected him, he declined to buy.
I'm contrasting the Presidential votes
of 1860 and 1868, it appears that whereas
the vote of Massachusetts and New Hamp
shire respectively has increased but 10000
and 1000, that for New York has increased
III 900, Pennsylvania, $4,000, Ohio II
900, Illinois, 10000, and that of Michigan
$4,000.
In regard to woman's rights, Rev.
Sidney Smith remarked, many years ago,
that the dear creatures had the power in
their own control, for they had only to be
of one mind, and the human race would be
wiped away like an old sum in multiplica-
ton off slate.

Thad. Stevens stood in late years to make
his speeches. Mr.. Schenck then, of the
dozen who wanted it, got the floor, and
denounced the message as the most gross,
shameful and infamous document ever
emanating from public officer. He COM
pared it to the Oregon resolutions, which
the House refused, the day previous, to
enter on its journal, saying it was, like
them, impertinent, scandalous, and en-
tirely unfit to be presented half a dozen
members of the opposition tried to speak
but the House refused to hear any apology
or justification, and then, under the lead
of Messrs. Washburne and Schenck, by {
vote of 1913 to SO, laid the message upor
the table, to lie there, with other deat
things. As if this great proceeding was
not enough, it next refused to let the mes
sage be printed for general circulation
and also refused to refer it in the ordinary
way to the appropriate committees for ex
animation. This action of the two
branches, thus recorded, has been TIT
theme of conversation everywhere. Th'
general judgment seems to be that so fa'
as the President is concerned, he was
served Just right.

Why ILLINOIS MEN ARE CALLED "SUcK-
ERs." Illinois prairies are wide, and in the
long tramps of early days water was some
times scarce. The crawfsh is a cold water
animal under all circumstances, and where
he lives at all, he bores for his favorite
liquor if he can get it on no easier terms
The habitation of the. happy crawfish is
never out of water, in which sits the crus-
tacean, damp and cheerful. The early
thirsty prairie traveller coming to one Of
the crawfish holes, even if the surface Of
the low soil was baked and parched, knew
that there was water, and the adjacent
reeds, perhaps he carried one in his hat
band, furnished the ready means of draw
ing on the stock of the craw6sh. This
custom gave rise to the Sucker" appel
lation which the people of Illinois still re
tain.

Religious Intelligence.

The Howard Presbyterian Church,
San Francisco, had debt Of $46,467.76,
which they wished to dispose of. The
pastor, Dr. Scudder, and one of his dea-
cons, took subscription paper, and called
on the members fnr their gifts. In four
days, and before they had got through
their list, they secured $46,56O! In these
days, when churches think they cannot
raise debts without the spur and strain of
subscription in public meeting, such
quiet example of wiping out the black
mark of church debt is encouraging.
AT recent meeting of the Methodist
preachers of Boston and vicinity, there
was strong expression of disapproval of
the hymns now so much in use in confer
ence meetings and Sabbath schools. One
said that his people had sung "Will you
meet me at the river" Climbing up
Zion's HILL" and the like, till they appear
ed to be utterly ignorant,.of the hymns in
the Methodist collection, and when he
struck up one of them he had to sing it
alone.
Probably the largest Bible class in the
world is that conducted by Mrs. Bartlett,
in connection with Mr.. Surgeons church.
1t is stated that on the first Sabbath of its
organization, about eight years ago, three
persons were present and at the end of
the first month there were fourteen regu-
lar attendants. The interest awakened in
creased until the average attendance be-
came seven hundred at which it now
stands. More than seven hundred persons
have been taken into the church from this
remarkable class
An English paper says Of the Estab-
lished Church that 4" if there is one strik-
ing feature about it, it is that while NOM
inally one great ecclesiastical system, its
congregations are really singularly inde-
pendent of one another, and of the whole
The clergyman of one parish is perfectly
independent of the clergy of neighboring
parishes. When his church is once con-
secrated he is almost as independent Of the
bishop. The clergy profess a very high
reverence for episcopacy in the abstract,
but you very seldom find a clergyman who
cares rush for the wishes or commands
of any bishop in particular"

term in the Legislature, having been
honored in October last by a call of q
majority of Cos of his constituents. He
has won his position purely by his own
merit, and not by the extraneous influ.
ences that often help men to place and
power. Thrown upon his own resources
in his youth, he has carved out his own
road through life, and now has the sat
isfaction of knowing that his labors have
not been in vain, and that perseverance,
good conduct and high moral principles
never go unrewarded. To the writer
for the public press there is no subject
which presents with more pleasure than
the example of man. by the force of
character and principle, rising from OBJ
scurity to position. Mr.. Gerhart is a
regularly ordained Presbyterian min
ister, and, we are informed by those who
know him, an effective worker in the
cause of Christianity. As teacher in
the schools he has always been energetic
and efficient. He possesses fair. self
acquired English education. He has
been Justice of the peace, postmaster,
and held various township offices. Hav-
ing heretofore discharged every trust re-
posed in him with fidelity, there can be
no doubt but that he will faithfully dis
charge his duties as legislator.
Though sprung from an old Line
Mhig stock, he has always advocated
Democratic principles, and stood unfal-
teringly by his faith during the dark
period from '61 to '65, amid storm of
malsdiction and persecution that requir-
ed no small amount of personal and mol :
al courage. He now, in common with
the entire Democracy, halls more gen.
ial political atmosphere. Hr
In personnel he is prepossessing,
being fully six feet high, of full, strong
and muscular build, of sanguine tempera-
ment, clear light complexion, wears a
full, heavy brown beard, has brown hair,
which he wears rather long for the pre-
vailing fashion, and looks at least ten
years younger than his actual age, He
is pleasant talker, and favorably i'm.
presses one upon first sight, which is
confirmed upon longer acquaintance.

cal printer and editor. Posto1ice address,
Washington C. H., Ohio. Married.
Mr.. Gould, the present able editor of
the Ohio State Register, has been long
and favorably known in southern and
southeastern Ohio, as politician and an
editor. We remember that the first time
we met him. nine years agoin Convention
at Logan, Ohio, we were struck with the
tact he displayed in getting the Conven-
tion out of very ugly snarl growing
out of some local difficulties. Since then
we have often had occasion to admire his
good sense and practical ability. He is
well qualified for the position he holds,
as in fact he is for any position in the
gift of the people, and his promotion
was but tardy mark of recognition for
his hard fought battles in Fayette coun'
ty. In 1S4S he took editorial charge of
the Eaton Democrat. In 1854 he took
charge of the Democratic Citizen, War
rem county, in 1859 of the Hooking Sen
tinel., and in 1865 of the Register. His
editorials were always vigorously writ
ten, and every stroke of his pen was
felt.
In personnel he is of medium stature,
large build, bilious temperament. with
very black hair and beard. His fore.
head is high and broad and his eye
brows are heavy and overhanging. He
possesses fine social characteristics, and
is genial companion.

HOW. AMOS LAYmAN,

HON. AMOS 1AYmAN, 7a s5
Chief Clerk ofthe House. Age 80. Native Of
York county, Pa. Occupation, La,oyer.
Postc1ice address, Colnnbus. Married.
| In writing of a man so widely and
avorably known to the press and people
as Mr.. Laylnan, it is matter of extreme
| difficulty to say anything new. His
long connection with The STATESMAN,
the central organ of the Ohio Democracy,
during the, darkest periods of the coun-
try. and his stern and unfaltering devo-
tion to principle when others wayered
and fell, have made his name house,
hold word in Democratic. families CO.
extensive with the State and beyond its
limits, and has long entitled him to some
public reco gnition of his services He
has already served faithfully and COM
mendably in the following Offices: Com
missioner to investigate the validity of
llEndiang land sales, under the Federal
lGoverumeVk during portionssof the afis
Iministratiohs of Pierce and Buchanan,
land Collector on the Muskingum im-
Iprovement from 1850 to 1856. He was
for q number of years the editor of the
democratic organ Of Washington county.
For more than. FIVE years he was the able
chief editor of The STATESMAN. He is
yet in the prime of life, and there can be
no doubt but that the people of his
adopted State, where he has so long and
ably labored for the public welfare, will,
ere long, call him to a higher position.
As journalist Mr.. Layman has but
few rivals and no superiors in Ohio. As
a correspondent be is admired for his
clearness and ability to write ideas
rather than words. His style as a writer
is easy and fluent, and, with a cores
pondence with the eastern and western
press, which would tax the utmost abili-
ties of most men, unencumbered with
other responsibilities, he is always
promptly at his desk with his journals
clearly written up, with nothing, sas far
as he is concerned, to impede the pro-
gress of legislation. His readings are
distinct, and alone would evidence a
thorough knowledge of the English Ian
guage, every sentence being Ineligible
to the most distant members of the
House.
In personnel Mr.. Layman is six feet in
altitude, straight as an arrow, and very
quick in all his motions. He has a light
complexion, sandy beard and hair, and
lis Of phreno-nervous temperament.
He wears mustache and slight side
whisker, and his hair, which he wears
short, is thin, as is the case almost uni-
versally with deep and constant thinkers.
His .colloquial powers are of a high or
der, and in friendly conversation he is
earnest and pleasant.

HON. JOHN a. CooKER1LL,

HON. JOHN A. .COCKERILL,
First Assistant Clerk of the House. Age %.
Natice of Stark county, Ohio. p. o. ad-
dress, Hamilton, Ohio. Occupation, editor.
Unmarried and not engaged.
Mr.. Cockerill is undoubtedly the young
est man holding responsible position in
either branch of the Assembly. But
notwithstanding his youth, he is now
entering upon his sixth year of his pub
lie life, having been actively con-
nected with the press since his seven
teenth year. He lie at present, and has
been for three years, editor-in-chief of
the Hamilton True Telegraph, a spicy
and spirited sheet, that owes its popu-
larity and increasing influence to his
facle pen. He is gentleman of fin
ished education, fine literary taste and
culture, and extensive reading.
For two years previous to his taking
charge of the True Telegraph, he was
editor of the Democratic Union, organ of
the Democracy of Adams county. The
largely increased Democratic majority in
Butler county is in no small degree at
tributable to his efficient editorial SER
vices during the last campaign. He is
of pleasant and affable turn, and good
colloquial powers. As a writer, he is
quick. nervous and salient.
His qualifications for the position
which he holds are first class, and the
House did honor to itself in his selec-
ton. We venture to predict that his
official career will demonstrate to the
people of his adopted county that he is
worthy promotion which they will, no
doubt, give him.
As the young ladies are already
anxious for his personnel, we will
premise by saying be is a passably
handsome youth, of medium stature,
light complexion, and light brown hair
and utterly eschews the wearing of
beard. Being not only unmarried but
disengaged, he would make a popular
candidate on the Young Women's Rights
ticket. As it is leap year, we would
suggest that some young lady exercise
her prerogative and take him in-out of
the cold. We can assure the fair sex
that he is young man of unexception-
able character and correct habits, and a
good fellow on general principles.
