AGAIN.
oh, sweet and fair oh rich and rarel
That day so long ago,
The autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow,
The ferns. were clad in cloth and gold
The waves sang on the shore;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing
For ever, evermore.
Oh, fit and few oh, tried and truel
The friends who met that day,
Each one the others spirit knew;
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last
The twilight kissed the shore
We .1aid "Such days shall come again
For ever, eyermore."
One day again, no cloud of pain
shadow DER us cast,
And yet we strovc in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past;
Like, but unlike, the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words we said, the songs we sung,
e-unlike-evermore
For ghosts unseen crept in between,
And, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discord in an undertone,
And marred the harmony.
The past is ours, not yours" they said,
The waves that beat the Shore
Though like the same arc not the same,
oh never, nevermoreP'

The Presidents Message.

This morning we lay before the readers
of the OHIO STATESMAN, President JOHN
= SONS last Annual Message. 1t is we'll
written document. Its arraienment of
Congress for its unconstitutional and ty-
rannical legislation with reference to ten
States of the Union, and the expose OF the
profiigacy that characterized the conduct OF
the War and the administration of
the Government by the Republican
party, is crushing, and we do not wonder
that the Radicals in the Senate felt their
dignity so much outraged that they ad-
journed pending the reading of the mes
sage. In this adjournment they displayed
q acontemptibly mean spirit.
We do not concur with the President in
regard to the resumption of specie pay
rnents. We are as much in favor OF spe-
Gle currency as anybody can be; but with
the present Public Debt contracted on the
Greenback, or paper currency basis,
weighing oppressively upon the people,
we think the time has not yet come for
resumption of specie payments. In the
main, the message Is very satisfactory, and
as such we commend it to the attention of
the reader. s'

property was saved, the Courier says, by
throwing it out of the window, before the
progress of the flames reached where it
was stored. This was fortunate. The
Water Works escaped without injury, and
GAINESVILLE can still brag of their immensity,

Government commenced operations under
the Federal Constitution, IL was burdened
with an Indebtedness of seventy-five mill
lions of dollars, created during the war OF
the revolution. This amount had been re-
duced to forty-five millions of dollars when
in 1912 war was declared against Great
Britain. The three years struggle that fol-
lowed largely increased the national obli-
cations, and in 1916 they had attained the
sum OF one hundred and twenty mil
lions. Wise and economical legislation,
however, enabled the Government to pay
the entire amount within period of tw en-
ty years, and the eXtinguishment of the
National debt filed the land with rejoicing
and was one of the great events OF Presi-
redemption large fund remained in
the treasury, which was deposited for safe
keeping with the several States, on condi-
ton that it should be returned when re-
quired by the public wants. @
In 1S49, the year after the termination OF
an expensive war with Mexico, we found
ourselves involved in debt OF siXty-four
millions, and this was the amount owed by
the Government in 1885, just prior to- the
outbreak of the rebellion. In the spring OF
1861 our civil war commenced. Each year
of its continuance made an enormous addi-
tion to the debt, and when, in the spring OF
1865, the nation successfully emerged from
the conflict, the obligations or Inc Govern
ment had reached the immense sum OF 81
S73 ,992, ,909.
The secretary of the Treasury shows
that on the 1st day of November. 1867, this
amount had been reduced to So, ,49l ,504, ,450,
but at the same time his report exhibits an
increase during the past year of $50, 625, 1O2,
for the debt on the first day of November
last is stated to have been S2527,I29. 552.-
1t is estimated by the Secretary that the
81, ~ thap will
liabilities the further sum OF eleven mil
lions, making a total increase during thir-
teen months of forty-six and half mill
lions. basia s,i sIlsiJ 10 T1..
In my message to Congress of December
4th, 1866, it was suggested that a policy
should be devised which, without being
oppressive to the people, would at once be-
gin to effect reduction of the debt, and if
persisted in would pay it fully within a a
definite number OF years.
The Secretary of the Treasury forcibly
recommends Legislation of this character,

In like manner, on April 10, 1866,
when he made mild but manly issue
with johnson, he said of the civil
rights bill, In the first moment of its
enactment:

been by its opponents in Congress,

he treated in this way a taunt of the
Democracy:
THE new nickname flung at us is

Radical than Rebel, any time. I am

Here is another curt passage
I am for leYeling up rather than
leveling down. God do so to me and
more also. if I do aught more to crush

Before the Supreme Court had an
nouneed its opinion regarding the Wis
fble Admixture Act Judge Wright, OF
the Perry County Court of Common
Pleas, declared the law uneOnstitutiOn-
al. As Judge Wright is a Democrat,
and the Democracy are anxious to i'm
peach the officers who condemn this
infamous enactment, here is q chance
for them to try the impeaching process
on one Of their own judges.
In the light Of this, and similar de
cisions, the deceitfuIness Of the Demo
cratic veneration for the constitution
becomes apparent. They knew at the
time they passed this act they were
violating the constitution, and the ViO-
lation was 50 hagrant that it is now
confessed by one Of their own judges.
Yet to crown the outrage, they attemp-
ted to tie the hands Of the Court so that

invasion Of the organic law Of the State

ohiO EpisoopaI oonvention.

The Protestant Episcopal Convention
Of the Diocese Of Ohio, met at Newark
on the Sd inst. Bishops McIlvaine and
Beds1 we're both present. The open
ing sermon was preached by the Rev.
Mr.. UhoTd, Of Delaware, from Cor, 4
XIV, in defense of the view that the
Atonement, rather than the Iucarua-
ton, was the central doctrine Of Chris
tianity. Bishop McIlvaine, in his an
nual address, gave the usual diocesan
statistics, and then referred to the case
Of a clergyman Of the diocese, whose
name has not been made public, who
tain ritualistic ceremonies known as
the ProcessiOnal' and the recession

terms applies to that ceremony in
which the clergyman enters the church
at the begin ming Of service preceded
by choir Of boys and men arrayed in
surpliCes, who sing or chant a hymn as
they march up the broad aisle. At the
close the same ceremony, executed IN
reverse order, becomes a fRecession.' -
Bishop McIlvaine had already appris-
ed the offending clergyman of his views
and wishes in the case, and for the
benefit of all concerned would re-state
them before the convention. He then
proceeded to show that any such or
similar innovation, was contrary to the
laws and customs of the Episcopal
Church, and that they were but the
advance guard Of q whole army of
false and delusiYe doctrines.

First Gun Of the Campaign.

Last week that political mOnstrOsi-
Gy called Baber, whispered into every
bOdy's ear, after giving his victim a
frantic hug, that there would be a won
derful Democratic victory on Monday
next, in the counties of Athens, Gallia,
ATeigs and Washington. Hayes's ma
jority of / ,5S8 in those counties last fall
was to be overcome and the Democratic
nominee for additional Judge elected by
1000 majority. Old "Visible Admix-

was willing to wager all the money OF
his first Wife's relatives on the PROPOSE

was elected by a majority OF 1 ,S15, a

In 1861 the war broke out. and the

might be properly equipped. But the
last session exceeds even the session Of
1861, and at an increased per diem Of
the mem Ders and officers, as they now
receive IS per day. There has been no
law passed to tax Government Bonds.
In every district where it could be done
they have provided for an additional
Judge and to close, they have adjourn
ed to meet in November instead of jan
uary, thus preparing for st1ll longer
session than the last. This is retrench-
ment and a reduction Of expenses with
a vengeance. They spent their time in
passing laws they well knew to be IN
constitutional and void, and that the
Supreme Court would so decide them
the very first cases that were brought
before it. The people have been cheated

he was not partizan on either side on

He says he shall adhere to his old
creed and equal rights. They may de-

of the party, if they choose. I follow
my old light, not the new. What the
developments of the future way be I
know not. 1 neither expect or desire
to be a candidate for Office again. It
would, however, crafty me exceeding
ly if the Democratic party would take
ground which would assure the coun-
try against all attempts to subvert the
principle of universal suffrage estab-
lished in eight and to be established
in all of the Southern Constitutions.
Then, I think, the future of the great
cause for which I have labored SO long
would be secure, and I should not re-
gret my absence from political labors
