The editors of Southern Ohio,
Northern Kentucky and a portion of
West Virginia, met in Portsmouth
on th e 18th, to celebrate, in a be-
coming manner, the anniversary of
the birth of Benjamin Franklin, and
TO do such other things as might be
thought necessary for the mutual
benefit and Improvement of the craft.
From the notices which reach us, by
those who were present, we Judge
the occasion to have been one of
rare pleasure and enjoyment. A
permanent organization, to be known
as the Ohio Valley Editorial Union,
was formed-a Constitution adopted,
and officers for the ems uing year
elected T 4
We like the ring Of the following
resolution, as it treats of matter
which is often forgotten by local Off
GERS: r
Resolved, That the county press is.
entitled to the county printing, and
that we, as Union, will resist the
Withdrawal of such work by foreign
offices. M
Ironton was selected as the place
of holding the next meeting, and
Friday the first day Of May, as the
time. We hope to be there.

HLast week the democracy were
engaged in attempting to prove il
legal votes on the Republican side,
to be used in the election contest
They succeeded in proving but one.
To be sure, the editor of the Dispatch
came before the Justices, and made
oath that, sat the Third Ward, in the
city of Gallipolis. he saw some twen-
ty or more illegal votes polled, the
said votes not being white male citi-
zens," but, as it is not possible to
make void q decision of our Supreme
Court, on Constitutional law, by the
simple process of an oath, this testi.
mony will amount to nothing. The
illegal voting was all convined to the
democratic side, and the attempt to
prove it upon the Republican party
only makes more glaring and promi.
nent the frauds of the democrats.

Mortuary Statistics.

AS oGr city must necessarily come
more prominently into notice, as q
business location, by reason of the
extension of the M, Dc G. Railroad to
it, and as the healthfulness of any
locality is usually very important
consideration to every one seeking a
new residence, we give below the
mortality of Gallipolis for the year
1867, as showing its favorableness,
in this view, for residence. In this
respect we believe that our city can
make IS favorable a showing as any
town, of equal size, in Southern
OHIO, or, indeed, any where else
The reason of this is plainly obvious.
While other towns are subject to
overfows from the river, and thus to
the deposit of matter prejudicial to.
the health of their citizens, we are
beyond the reach of such deleterious
influences. The highest water known
failed of reaching the level of our
city by from fifteen to twenty feet.
Besides, our system of drainage is SO
thorough and perfect, that ponds and
pools, those great breeders of dis
ease, are not found within the limits
of the city. $500 as.c
The following is the mortality OF
our city for the year 1867, stated by
quarters of the year. We are in
debted to MIR. JAMES McLAUeHLIN,
Superintendent of Tie Cemetery, for
the figures:
