The DEMOCRACY AND THE MILITARY
The persistency with which the Journal OF
this city has attempted to make it appear
that Democrats hate soldiers and are their
enemies, can only be accounted for by the
fact that the Journal folks believe s'a lie
sheet makes the remarks of Mr.. Hughes of
Butler, and of Mr.. Hill, of Defiance. on Sat
urday last, against inviting the military of
the city, as military men, to participate in
the inaugural ceremonies of this morning.
an occasion for fling at each OF those gem
tlemen, and for sneer at the entire DEM
ocratic party. Mr.. Hughes distinctly said
that he opposed inviting the military COM
panies because he wanted to get back to
the plain and simple style OF the early days
in doing those things, and announcing that
as the military companies of this city were
nearly all Democratic. he could not be
charged with political prejudice in the
matter. This view Mr.. Hill indorsed heart
lily, adding that as we expected to inaug
urate Democratic Governor two years
hence, he wanted to set precedent of Sc
we're simplicity to be followed hereafter.
AS to the charge that the Democracy are
opposed to soldiers, let the Journal man
take his eye and cast 1t on the First, Second
and Third wards of this city, which are
Republican, and then tell
us how many soldiers there are in them
who voted the Republican ticket. Then
let him gaze on the Fifth or Sixth ward
where everything is Democratic, and in
either ward he will find more veterans,
straight out Democrats, than he will find
soldiers of his faith in all three of the Rad
cal wards combined, even though he count
privates, officers, quartermasters. National
Guards, Brigadier Generals and commits
sary mules. The fact is the great mass OF
the soldiery are to-day Democrats, and the
Journal keeps up its cry of Democratic OPP
position to our brave boys, just because it
has learned that song, and hasn't brains
enough to know that it is played out.
ROBBERY AT THE DEPoT-ARREsT
AND TRIAL OF THE PARTIEs.-On the
9th inst, as Mr.. c. Getz. of Zanes-
vile, was returning to his home, from the
Convention, he was robbed in the ladies'
parlor of the Union Depot, in this city, of
his pocket book, containing about one hum
dred dollars in money, several notes, and
other valuable papers. On his arrival in
GAINESVILLE, he filed an affidavit charging
G. III. Morgan, z. r. Davis, w. Watts, c..
Moran, James Donnohue, and Thomas
Cafery as being the guilty parties. A war
rant was issued by Esquire John w. Bell,
of GAINESVILLE, and delivered to M. D. Brooke,
who arrested James Donnohue and G. H.
Moran on the train, as it was leaving
Thomas Caffery was arrested
by officer Naddy, on dispat n from Zines-
vile. Moran, Donnohue, and Gallery
were locked up, and the process procured
in GAINESVILLE was certified to Esquire
Meeker. before whom the parties were
brought on Saturday morning. The Hon.
John O'Neill, of Zanesville, appeared in
son for the defendants. An examination
was had as to Thomas Caffery,
who was discharged, and the cases
of Donnohue and Moran continued
until the 10Th inst, at o'clock, PM, and
to Jail in default of $500 bail
All the witnesses in behalf of the State
were required to give their recognizance in
the sum of 500 each for their appearance
on the 18th.
FREEZING THE CHILDREN-THE SCHOOL
BoARD.-Into print rushed School Di-
rector" on Saturday last, who, in quar-
ter of a column OF the Journal, manages
very cleverly to avoid saying anything at
all about the cause of the complaint made
both in these columns and in the Jour
nal on Friday last. We state distinctly, on
what we conceive to be the BEST authority,
that on last Thursday morning the gate to
the State street school yard was locked at
quarter before 9 o'clock, and that it is no
uncommon thing for the doors of the
building to be closed at five minutes to
nine. If our first proposition were con-
sidered it would remove all cause of COM
plant, viz: Allow ten minutes for differ
ence in watches or clocks, and either have
the doors of the schools opened at half
past 8, or do not ring the ''tardy bell' un-
til ten minutes after 9. That children will
fly round and have their fun if there be
no one to control them, is certain, but
teachers are paid for full days work, and
1t will be no hardship to require them to
be on hand at half-past o'clock in order
to keep the children quiet-not to keep
them from the registers, or to compel them
to commence study, but to prevent any
unseemly noise. If there is disposition
on the part of the School Board to fix this
matter, it can be easily remedied. 1t can
do no harm to try.
POLICE CoURT.-Three eminent histers

urday. ......s

decidedly disorderly on Friday night. He
was desired to deposit sufficient ducats to
