A SKIRMIsu !-HosTILITIEs CON-
MENCED There was scrimage among
various nationalities about mile above
this village on the other side of the riv-
er, few days since, the line of battle
finally extending to this village. 1t APP
pears that some differences exist between
two families, and that some words ensuing
between a woman whose name we have
not at hand, and Jaque Baraba's son, a
boy of some fifteen, in which the boy
threw small hand sled at her consider
ably injuring her nasal organ and one
cheek. This led to call on Sheriff Holt
of Keene, N. H., who came up to arrest
the boy for assault, and who could not
be found on the New Hampshire side OF
the river. Meantime he communicated
his GRAND to officer Walter Taylor of
this village, who soon after being at the
depot where he saw Jaque, father of the
boy, of whom he made inquiry as to the
boys whereabouts. This led to high
words from Jaque who gave the lie, when
Taylor gave him a cut with his whip.
Jaque then charged bayonet on Taylor
who received the charge by making a
movement on the left flank of the enemy,
and by seizing and holding him at arms
length, while he struck vigorous blows
in the direction of the Sheriff's physical
system but without reaching the object.
Jaque then retreated in tolerably good
order and without having suffered any
heavy loss. Capt. Taylor is large and
powerfully built man, and on such occa-
sions as these of course finds his strength
very convenient. We are not aware
that any further hostilities have occur
ed, or that peace is likely to ensue in
the neighborhood above mentioned.

Republican State Convention

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, under date of
Jan. %, furnishes the following in re-
gard to our State Conv ention, and other
matters incident to the coming impor-
tant campaign:
A large number of Republican mem
bers of the Legislature, and others
prominent in the party, including ex-
Governors Cox and Denhison, Governor
Hayes and Lieut.. Gov Lee, met in the
Senate Chamber this evening, in re-
sponse to call of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee, to confer as to the
time for holding the State Convention.
A canvass of large proportion of
those present showed but two Chase
men, the sentiment generally being
Overwhelmingly for Grant, as was
evinced in the repeated applause which
greeted the mention of his name. Gov.
Dennison spoke of Gen. Grants nomi-
nation as a foregone conclusion, settled
upon by the popular voice.
Upon the recommendation of the
conference, the Central Committee
agreed to call the convention for March
a, to nominate State ticket and two
electors, and four delegates at large,
from Ohio, to the Chicago Convention.
The Committee further recommended
county committees to call conventions
or primary elections for delegates to
the State Convention, ON Saturday.
February %. Also, to recommend
that delegates to the State Convention
be authorized to appoint by districts
their delegates to the National Conven-
ton. A call to this effect viii be is
sued soon. One delegate win be al
lowed for each four hundred votes
cast for Gen. Hayes for Governor, and
one for each fraction over two hundred.
making the convention consist Of about
FIVE hundred delegates.

re- Every one knows what modern
democracy was during the war-the op-
poser of every thing the Government
did to save it from destruction; the
friends of rebels, and the enemy Of
Union soldiers-but, since the war,
many minds have been poisoned by the
hypocracy and deceit of its leaders, to
such an extent as to think it different
thing now from what it was then. But
it is the same now as then-it is still
characterized by the same fellow-feel-
ing for the rebels, and by the same
enmity and hostility to Union soldiers.
In proof of this read the following
words, copied from the last Dispatch.
In speaking of that gallant Union Gen
eral, Phil. SHERIDAN, the writer says:
cat least let us hope that there are
few such inhuman wretches on the
face. of the earth"
Gen. SHERIDAS's only crime is, that
he was true to the Umon--for that he
is termed an '.inhuman wretch" Is
not democracy the same now as during
the war?

Ohio Legislature.

JANUARY 21.-There was no quorum
in either the Senate or House to-day.
The absence of so many members was
a sore blow TO the democrats, as it pre-
vented the consummation of one of their
pet measures. Mr.. Mann, of the
House, had a bill in his pocket, which
he expected to introduce, to prohibit
students from voting while attending
college. Its special purpose was to
prevent the students at Delaware from
voting for Gen. Beatty. AS there are
only five days before the election, the
bill could not be passed in time, unless
introduced to-day. No quorum being
present it was not introduced. The
democrats seem to think that young
man who is receiving a collegiate edu-
cation won't vote their ticket, and hence
should be disqualified.
JANUARY 22.--Senate.-Petitions
were presented for the repeal of the
present road law; against the repeal of
the law authorizing persons charged
with crimes to testify; for protection
against incompetent dentists; and for
the repeal of the act to prevent certain
stock from running at large. A bill to
prevent the forcible abduction of citi-
zens of the State, and to repeal the act
to prevent kidnapping was introduced.
The bill relating to interest permitting
special agreements at ten per cent,
was discussed. The bill amending the
law relating to the construction of
bitches, &C., in townships, was passed
A bill supplementary to the school law
was passed. This law is intended to
supply an omission in the old law,
wherein the privileges of such schools
were confined to incorporated villages.
This bill extends the same privileges to
un-incorporated villages, and points out
the manner in which they shall organ
ize their school districts, and the man
ner of qualifying their officers and
Boards of Education
House.-A bill to fix the rate of in
terest was introduced. The committee
in the contested election case from
Hardin county reported in favor of
Thomas Rough. Report laid on the
table. A bill to remove from Office
persons guilty of habitual intoxication
was introduced. A petition was pre-
sented for the passage of law allow
ing rate of interest of ten per cent. on
special contracts.
JANUARY 23.-,Senate.--Mr. Stam-
baugh Dem. introduced a bill to re-
move from Office persons guilty of ha-
bitual intoxication. Mr.. Rex Dem.
moved that the bill be rejected. Mo-
ton lost-6ve voting in the affirmative.
Bill in relation to interest discussed.
Mr.. Dangler (Rep. offered a resolu-
ton, which was adopted, instructing
the Judiciary Committee to inquire
what additional legislation is necessary
to protect families from the squander
ing of their estates by the head of the
family who is incapacitated by imbecili-
ty. habitual drunkenness, or other
cause. Mr.. Lawrence reported joint

Demoralizing Papers.

!
If the usual signs are to be reiled
on the morals Of this country are on
the decline. and vice increasing and
becoming bolder. One Of the
strongest indications of this decline
is the freedom with which vile pa
pers are being published, scattered
broad cast over the country, and we
are sorry TO say widely purchased
and eagerly read. New York city,
the hot bed of vice, is. the place from
which are issued these impurities in
journalism-papers filed With chesp
and glaring pictures of scenes of
violence, crime, and lust, and fail of
all indecencies9 These papers are
sold on cars and in hotels, and not
only polute our cities and lines of
travel. but find their way to the small
towns and quiet villages of the
country. TIE public press wields 3
powerful influence for good or evil,
If. conducted in the interests of hu-
manity and morality its influence for
good is great, but if allowed to pan.
der to vice, its denoralizlng effects
are terrible. That these vile sheets
are having a wide influence for evil
is seen in the fact that they still con
tinue to be published and circulated
openly, and are increasing in bold
ness every week. If we claim to be
a christian nation, and retain any of
our Puritan hatred of vice, let the
public press of the country denounce
these outrages upon decency, until
even corrupt New York be compell-
ed to suppress such sheets as ''The
Last Sensation, ''and the many others
of like character now boldly pub
lished.

Democracy VS.. Education.

We have had another proof that
where education fourishes, there
Democratic principles are at dis
count, and that the party does not
expect the support of the educated
and intelligent. In this instance, it
is very refreshing admission of this
fact by our Democratic Legislature.
That body always stands ready to
help ''the good cause" along, when
ever chance is seen to do SO. AS
the election for Congressman in the
9Th District was impending, it was
determined to help the Democratic
nominee, as far as possible, and for
that end, bill was to be introduced
to prohibit students from voting
where they were attending College.
The design was to prevent the large
number of students of Delaware Col
lege, the best Methodist institution
in the West, from voting at this Con
gressional election, as our Democrat
ic friends knew that, being students,
they would all vote for the Repub-
lican candidate. The measure failed
not from want of power. but because
quorum could not be obtained the
first of last week, and as that was
the last day it could be introduced,
to become law in time for this
election, it fell through. The SHOWS
that prevented the Legislature from
assembling the first of the week, was
the only thing that saved the poor
students from the fate of the negro
and the Southern rebels. Such
measures as these on the part of the
Legislature, show us the utter un-
scrupulousness OF the party in OBJ
tanning its ends, and are of like
character with the frauds practiced
at the last election. The party does
not care what are the means used, so
that it can obtain its end. But it is
also amusing to see the Legislature
thus publicly admit, that education
and intelligence are opposed to the
principles of the Democratic party,
and that they expect no support from
the educated and thinking people of
the country. Democrats knew that
those students would be against
them, and vote against their candi-
date. We are glad to see them SO
candid, therefore, as to acknowl
edge that they have'no support from
the schools and colleges of the count
ry, but must rely on the masses of
the ignorant and illiterate, who can
be gulled by their misrepresenta-
tions.

ernment, but went forth to battle for
its preservation. Indeed this adem-
ocratic plan" is more than that--it
has even more ignoble aspect. 1t
would diJranehise those true men Of
the South who stood by the Govern
ment in its days of peril--who, in
stead of joining the rebels, went into
the Union army, and there fought to
put down the accursed rebellion. II
proposes to give the rebels all the
power they had before the war-do
this and how long, think you, I'm
ion man can live there? He wonld
be lucky il he was permitted to get
away with his life- The right to vote
and hold office would be thing un-
known to them.
We are sure the people of Ohio
will never indorse any such "plan'
as this. They have suffered enough
already, and will not consent that
the government shall be placed in
the hands of those who, but a few
short5years since, were in arms to
destroy it.

gE 1t is thought at Washington
that the Committee on Ways and
Means will recommend a reduction OF
the tax on distilled spirits to about fifty
cents per gallon, There is no strong
opposition to the general proposition to
reduce the tax, but opinions differ as to
the sum that shall be adopted, ranging
from twenty cents to one dollar
When fixed, let it be permanent, and
have all frauds on the part Of either
officers or manufacturers, punished
with the severest penalties.
