Negro Officers.

President Grant has appoin-
ted several negroes to office.
Among others, a Postmaster at
Charleston, South Carolina
We rejoice at this. Not that
men should be- appointed
o, elected to Office, because
they are negroes, but no dis.
tinction should be, made, all
other things being equal. God
is no respecter Of persons
Why should men be?
The Democrats will howl at
this, but it is only hypocrisy.
We mentioned last week that
a colored man had been elect
ed 10 the office Of supervisor
in Lick township at the April
election. This is the first col
ored man who was ever elect
ed to office in Jackson county,
and some persons were Curl
GUS enough to look at the bal
lots, to see who had voted for
Mr.. Wcodson. 1t was ascer-
tainedt that every ballot with
Mr.. Woodson's name on it was
a Democratic ticket. l61k
Another colored man named
Leach, was also elected super
visor. We do not know that
the ballots with his name on
we're examined, but we pre-
sumo he was also elected by
Democrats. These men have
both given bonds, ard will
discharge their duties. They
are Republicans, and will no
doubt faithfully discharge-thei
dutieg,-JacksOn &GnGaI L

To those of our friends who
are afflicted with disease ariss
ing from a arrangement Of the
Kidneys, we commend them to
the never-failing DR.. Sargent's
Backache Pills. These Pills
have been in use some thirty
years, and have proven to be
the most effective diuretic
medicine ever offered to the
public. re. e..I.G....
Not only is relief given i'm
mediately, but so successful
has been the results of the use
Of this medicine, that a per-
manent cure is the rule, and
not the exception. With the
endorsements of the best physi.
clans in the country in their
favor, they deserye.the success
which they have SO widely OBJ
tanned. 10 the afflicted, we
say try them. 5.

THE New York Tribune
speaking of the result in Con-
necticut says: .
The XVIII Amendment is
thus nobly approved. Its op-
ponents have complained that
it was to be voted ON by Leg
islatures chosen before it was
framed. New Hampshire has
sustained it by a large increase
over last Springs majority;
Connecticut has rejected her
Democratic State Officers ex-
pressIy to ratify it. The Dem
ocrats insisted that this was
the absorbin issue of the can
vass; they fought their battle
on it, and were beaten. Let
them never more say that it
has not been fairly carried.

The Dayton Ledger, the or.
gan of the Montgomery De.
mocracy, in speaking Of the
Ohio Legislature, says: "Some
bad and mischievous laws
have been repealed, and some
foolish ones have been enact.
ed"-and then adds, "the best
thing the Ohio Legislature can
do is to finish up such matters
of legislation as are impera-
lively demanded by the pub
lie interests, and adjourn at an
early day." Sound talk, est
pecfally the part, 'adjourn al
an early day." The people
will be pleased to see the
members at home!

TUE new furnace cOmpany-

The new furnace company
the one proposing to build at
Raysville has received their
charter, and is called "Eureka."
They will commence with a
paid up capital of $4,000
$4,000 of which was SUBJ
scribed before their meeting
last Tuesday. Wm. Clark and
Phil, Griffin, OF Chillicothe, and
Capt. Geo. Fry, M. II. Walker.

He who would keep step
with the progress Of the day

more enterprising fellow
tra1esman, will soon outstrip
him, in the race for business.

you high and dry, among your

with dust and linked together

ulators.

THE Enquirer says Hon. a.
J. Swain was absent without
leave while at home last week.
Perhaps this is SO. We have
noticed every time this winter,
where there has been a call Of
the House demanded, under
the head of absent without
leave, the name-Sw aim, and
our Jackey is the only member
of that name. We have never
complained about it, and don't
intend to. We think the coun-

Grant Won't Please the Reb-
nIS

We clip the following from
the Cincinnati Gazette: "Not-
withstanding the fierce assault
by Brownlow upon the Pres;-
dent in the executive session,
because Ricks, of Knoxville,
was appointed Pension Agent
instead of Brr widows son it,
law; the name of the latter was
sent in for the place by the
President to-day, on the
grounds that the rebel press, Of
Tennessee, was exulting over a
statement that Grant had ig-
nored Brownlow."

TAF Cincinnati Commercial
of last Wednesday contains a
double loaded article favor
ung the policy of unlimited ex.
pansion of territory. The edi-
tor sees, in his minds eye, our
"Imperial Republic" embrac-
ing the whole of North Ameri-
ca, and thereupon, he makes
a pathetic appeal for the re-
moval OF the capitol to New
York City, the concentrating
point of the continent" Ex.
cuse us; we will wait until the
dreams of the Commercial are
realized. Washington is cor,
rupt enough for a nation ol
our present size. r.,.. g.
We never want to see the
capitol in a city where Con-
gress could be intimidated by
such a vilianous set of rOgues
as those who hung upon and
controlled-by bribery and
brute farce-the late Demo-
cratic convention in New York,
and where officers Of the law
are in league with mobs to
rescue thieves and murderers.
Washington may possess some
features that render it incou.
venient of access as the capi.
tai of the nation, but it is,
mt least, free from mob violene
But if more corrupt place
than Washington should ever
become a necessity, the capi.
tol might be removed TO New
York-or Hades.

This ~ one OF the great enterprises Of the
day. The historical matter is really valuable;
the sketches of individuals and incidents are
admirably drawn, not only by the pen OF the
historian, but by the pencil Of the artist, and
both combined will make when bound, one oil
the marked histories Of The war. There are
official documents on every page, ut the
bottom, which add much to the. yaluesof The
work. twill be found on the centre tables

Wespeak confidently In praise Of the man

narrative, embellished by the picturesque H.

on the war, and will be Of priceless value for
preseryation.-(Boston Advertiser.)
The writer judiciously combines the spirit

once lively and polished. and every page gives
evidence OF careful study and preparation.--
Without any atiectation ofprofound phlloso-
ply, or without fine writing, this history il, in
our Judgment, one Of the best and most yalha-
Bile records ofour great struggle, and we have
no doubt that IL will maintain this reputation.
In future years, when the records Of the war
Office and ihs bureaus ofthe other departments
are opened up to the future Prescotts and

than the one that is steadily going on to COM
pletion. --(Chicage Presbyterlan.)
The Pictorial History OF the Great Rebellion
in no sense depends upon its illustrations for
ITS worth, though they are exec lent speci-
mems of the art, and help the reader to under
stand the Incidents Of the war. The real merr
its of the work are apart from its engravings.
Those merits are strong and lucid style, q
vast an'ount OF well-digested and well told I'M
partial statements oil all points about which
there are dIsputes.....E Every library should
have this work, for II is one Of singular value
as book of reference, because Of Its com pre-
hensiyeness as well as accurcy.....As q work
ofgeneral reading it is Of unsurpassed value.
