IT is a fact that Hon. A. ]
Swain voted for disfranchising
a number of his constituents
men who worked and voted for
him-the Hon. A. j.
It is a fact that he voted to
disfranchise all men who at
tend Collegesin this State.
1t is a fact that he voted to
diSfranchise all soldiers who
live at the Soldiers Home in
this State.
1t is a fact that every Demo
crat in the Legislature voted
for all three of these infamous
measures.
1t is a fact that the Demo
cratic Legislature of Ohio is
charging the people one thous'
and dollars per day in salaries
alone, while their legislation is
costing us unknown thousands.
1t is a fact that the Demo-
cratic Legislature of Ohio is so
deep in the mud that they have
dragged our State into the
mire.

ed; for, know all men by our
Legislature now in session,
Ohio has a white mans gov.
ernment and colored tickets
are not to be allowed in the
ballot box with white ones
without feeling their inferior
ity.
Voters will do we'll to bear
this law in mind; for we have
no doubt Democratic agents
will be found at the polls next
fall, distributing "visib!y ad-
mixed" Republican tickets in
order that they may profit by
this rascally law, which bears
fraud and Democracy on its
very face.

Mr.. S. n. PENN, Special Mail
Agent, arrested a man at Co.
lumbus, named Chaplin, charg-
ed, we believe, with mail rob.
berry and bigamy. The Scioto
Gazette gives the following ac-
count of his escape:
AT time of his arrest, the
prisoner. had in his possession
five horses, which he was bring
ing with him. On the way
down, everything went very
smoothly until the parties ar
rived nesr the paper mill, a
few miles above town on the
Pike. At this point, Chapin
took to the woods on foot and
made good his escape. Penn
came on to town and sent for
Marshal Deushle, offering 800
reward for the arrest of the es-
capped prisoner. The last seen
of Chapin was at Circleville,
about five o'clock on Friday
morning. He was then aboard
of the cars. Since that time
he has not been heard OF. Mr..
p. took charge of the horses,
which were brought to this
city and sold by him last Fri
day."
With all due Difference to
Mr.. Penn, we must say this
transaction looks a little rotten
What right had he 10 sell the
FIVE horses, and what did he dc
with the money? The offering
of a reward of 800 to Mar
sIial Deus3hle for the re-arrest
of Chaplin, G0sen't look very
much like an effort to catch
him. Deuchle is a good clever
fellow, but some old grand
mother, blind with age, would
be just as likely TO catch a
rogue as would the city Mar
shall of Chillicothe. But we
would like to know Mr.. Penn's
authority for the sale Of the
horses, and what he did Will

A CORRESPONDENT who has re-
Gently visited Andersonville
cemetery, says: "You may
read statements of mortality
unmoved, but when you see
row Of graves of one hundred
and thirty men who all died in
one day, you are shocked. II
must have taken a small army
to bury these men. They lay
shoulder to shoulder, as they
stood in the ranks; yet the
dead Of one day more than fill
a row two hundred feet long.
Ny indignation went on in
creasing from No. l, died Feb

if We all lived within sight of
Andersonville, there would be
no moderate men, hardly any
just men, but a nation of re.
vengeful men,"

A Republican -one of your
red.hot kind-being solicited
by friend a few days since to
subscribe tor the Record, de-
clined because it was 50 per
year, but said he would take
it if we would let HIM have it
for $3.50. We didn't say any
thing about it. We didn't like
to acknowledge that there was
so mean a man in the county.
We felt thankful that we didn't
live on the adjoining farm to
him and have to keep up a
slime" fence with him. We
pitied his meanness, and never
would have told on him, but
the following from the Meigs
Co. Telegraph brought him to
mind:
"a man sent in a few days
since and stopped the TeIe.
graph, because We wouldn't
let him have it at $3.50 per
year, the price before the war.
The same person however
didn't hesitate to sell butter
at from forty to fifty cents per
pound. Why will not farmers
look upon both sides of this
question, and either sell their
products at old-time prices, or
cease to complain of the high
prices of newspapers A II
their products have trebled in
value, while the price of new s.
papers has not been advanced
over twenty-five per cent. If
our prices corresponded with
theirs, We would now be charg-
ing six dollars per year, instead
of two, for the Telegraph"

The New York World (Dem.
says: "Mr. Wade has thus
far, since the commencement
of the impeachment trial, acted
with unexceptionable modesty,
reticence and propriety. -
Though sitting as a member Of
the Court, he has neither spo.
ken nor voted, acting no other
than that of a spectator of the
proceedings, differing from 9th.
erspectators only by occupying
a seat upon the floor instead Of
a seat in one of the galleries.

DELEGATIONS from Ports.
mouth, Ironton, and surround
ing places have visited Mr..
King, President of the M. &
G. r. R., within the past week
or two, 10 lay before him such
things regarding the road and
their towns as would be mutu-
ally beneficial. We believe a
little activity on the part Of
our citizens would secure the
completion of the railroad to
this place before we are again
mud-bound. If we never make
an effort it will never come
here.

The foregoing gem Of oratory
upon the discreet and patriotic

THE Pail Mall Gazette says:
at will be interesting to very

that the House of Commons
exempted them, last night,

the House of Commons could
devise some plan for prevent

being logged in war time, it
would postpone indefinitely

IT is not the amount of mon
ey a person makes, but the
amount he saves, that makes
him rich. A great amount OF
money is wasted eyeryyear by
buying an inferior quality of
goods at low prices. If our
readers will only examine our
advertising columns before ma
king their purchases, patronize
only those who invite their
trade, they would invariably
get better goods at lower prices.
1t is an established fact that
those who do not advertise,
cannot compete with those who
do. This is the experience of
close observers, and will be OF
all who try the experiment.

sheets of the Life of General
Grant, by the Hon. Henry @.
Den1ing, which is now passing
through the press of the Ma
tional Publishing Co., Cincin.
natl. The work is pronounced
by able critics and scholars one
of the most graphic, ,discrimina-
ting and intensely interesting
Biographies ever published in
America. Being a faithful and
accurate portraiture of the Life
of the Great Soldier who saved
the life of the Nation in its
hour of peril, and written in a
style at once graphic, appre.
ciative, truthful and glowing,
it can not fail to interest every
thoughtful mind, and become
popular handbook for the
American people.
The position of the Author
in the Thirty ninth Congress,
as one of the Committee on
Military Affairs, enables him
to give such information as no
other man can.
Agents are wanted for the
sale of this book in every city,
county and township in the
United States.
We will give some extracts
from the advance sheets of
this work next week.

The Onderlnnk Case.

We learned from Senator
Golden while here the true
basis of the proceedings by
which Mr.. Onderdonk was ad
mitted to his seat. 1t is in
short as follows: The Senate
when acting as a Court to try
| cases Of contested elections
are in every sense of the word
a Court whose jurisdiction is
co ordinate with II not superior
to the Supreme Court, and
that the Senate were not bound
by any decision they may have
made; but at the same time, il
the same parties were sitting
upon the bench of an inferior
court they would feel bound by
the rulings and decisions of
the Supreme Court POmerOy
Banner.
Really, this is a remarkable
opinion. We never expected
to meet with so complete a
confession OF the rascality of
the majority from a Democratic
source. We say this is re-
opinion, from re-
markably learned young law
yer, and, we think, should be
spread upon the journal of the
Senate, to show the "basis"
upon which the Democratic
in the Senate disfran-
chised the citizens of the 8th
district.
But this is not the only opin-
on Reed Golden has expressed
n this case. We are reliably
informed that when asked by |
Jol. Yeoman, the day before
he vote was taken, if they
to debate the ques-
ion, he replied, @The majority
eport assumes a bald propo-
ition, and | suppose they will
ry to talk it through" And
Yhen Col. Yeoman suggested
hat they ought to be governed
y the decisions OF the Su-
RENE Court, Reed Golden
aid, "lfI was in a Constitu-
onal Convention | should be
favor of preventing any man
isibly admixed with African
lood from voting in Ohio; but
consider the matter as having
cen decided and settled"
The next day Mr.. Golden
,ted for this "bald PROPOSE ]
on" as he says, because the
of the committee on S
ections-that he had packed {
r that express purpose--re- '
,rted it. i
We would like to see all of +
g actions and declarations of t
% Hon. Reed Golden in this t
Ise placed upon the journal s
the Senate, and then have
honest man figure out the |
rue basis" on which he cast /
8 vote for Onderdonk. "

A GOOD story is told Of a GER
tain Squire of the Democratic
persuasion, who lives not a
thousand miles from Prattsville,
in this county. Said Squire
visited Zaleski not long since,
became enthusiastically Demo

declared, ~ would not hold an
Office by the gift of 'visibly ad-
mixed votersl" A gentleman
standing near said, "Come now,
Squire; you know when you

was reported that the 'visibly
