JACKSON THURSDAY, JULY

These committees drew for the interim
between the sessions of 1868 and 1889
the sum of Eight thousand Nine Hundred
and Niaety-Ons Dollars and Eighty-two
csnts-fve times as much as has been
expended in the same way during the
last ten years
We must admit that the Democracy
seem to have made pretty clean job of
plucking the public goose! The reform
Legislature Of 1869 cost the State of
Ohio 26O days of the most disgraceful
legislation ever inflicted on the State, at
an expense Of Two Hundred and Thirty
Nine thousand Five Hundred and Forty
Dollars and Forty. Eight cent?, 1929, 64o.-
48, for per diem and mileage, exclusive
of expenses of committees, &c. These
figures are all from the auditors books
they .are o6iciaL--they will not be disputed.
Much as the Democracy may desire to
ignore so damnable a record, they dare
not go back on these official figures.
And we have much more in reserve,
which will appear in due time.

Total EcIinse orthe SUN.

A total eclipse of the sun will occur
on the 7th of August next. 1t will be
visible as a partial eclipse throughout
the whole of North America. An as
Economical writer says in relation to it:
No total eclipse Of the sun has been
visible in any considerable portion of
this country since 1884, and none will
be visible after this year during the
present century. An event Of this
character, coming so rarely, and Of
such moment, can scarcely fail to at
tract general attention. Where the
eclipse is total, the optical and spectral
phenomena, as well as those more as
Economical, claim special notice.

earth in Siberia at 1857 P. NJ. Wash

'HEADoUARTERs DEPARTMENT OF
THE CUMBERLAND.

ALEADQDAkIERb OEfAhI AENI VI
THE CUMBERLAND,
Murfreesboro, Tenn. Feb. 8, '63.
"TO the Honorable the General Assen,Jy Of
the State of Ohio.
'gThe resolution of thanks passed by
your honorable body to the Army Of
the Cumberland, its Commanding Gen
eral and his staff, has been duly receiv-
ed and published to the troops of this
command. On behalf of all, return
you heartfelt thanks
"This is, indeed, war for the main
tainance of the Constitution and the
laws-nay, for national existence against
those who have despised our honest
friendship, and driven us to defend our
country and our homes. By foul and
willful Misrepresentation of our motives
and intentions, persistently repeated
they have arrayed against us our own
fellow citizens, bound to us by the
triple ties of consanguinity, geograph-
ical position and commercial interest.
"Let no man among us be base
enough to forget this, or fool enough
to trust an oligarchy of traitors to their
friends, to civil liberty, and human
freedom. Voluntary exiles from home
and friends, for the defense and safety
of all, we long for the time when gentle
peace shall again spread her wings over
our land; but we know no such bless
ing is possible while the unjust and
arbitrary power of the rebel leaders
contronts and threatens us. Crafty as
the fox, cruel as the tiger, they cried
mo coercion while preparing to strike
u.s. Bully like, they proposed to fight
us, because they said they could whip
five to one, and now, when driven back,
they whine out mo invasion, and prom
ise US, of the West, permission to nav
igate the Mississippi, if we will be
good boys, and do as they bid u.s.
"Wherever they have the power they
drive before them into their ranks the
Southern people, and they would also
drive US. Trust them not. Were they
able they would invade and destroy US
without mercy. absolutely assured of
these things, I am amazed that any one could
think Of peace on any terms He ,ChO en-
tertains the sentiment is fit only to be slavs !;
he who utters IL, at this time, is, mOre0ve,', A
TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY, WHO DESERVES
THE sCoRN AND CONTEMPT OF ALL HON
oRABLE MEN.
"When the power of the unscFupu-
lous rebel leaders is removed, and the
people are free to consider and act for
their own interests, which are common
with ours under this government, there
will be no great difficulty in fraterniza-
ton. Between our tastes and social
life there are fewer differences than be-
tween those of the Northern and South
ern provinces of England or Ireland.
Hoping the time may speedily come
when the power of the perfdious and
cruel tyrants of this rebellion having
been overthrown, a peace may be laid
on the broad foundation of national uni
ty and equal justice to all, under the
Constitution and laws.
81 remain your fellow citizen.

A little blue ed maiden, who was
nursing her fhR Christmas doll, and
listening to her mother and some te-
male friends talking about domestic
broiIs and Chicago divorces, created
rather a sensation by remarking -
"Well, ma, I'm never going to marry
I'm going to be a widow"

ADDITIONAL EXTRAs-HoUsE.
SENATE.

Having gone 30 far, OF course, the
liberal hand of the General Assembly
opened still further to pay over to all
the Messenger Boys of both Houses
fifty cents a day each, extra, for the
whole session--the most meritorious
allowance of the session, (by the way,)
as many of the little fellows had de-
pendents who needed the money ;
whereas, in the other cases, the amounts
were principally in the nature of per-
pendicular stealing from the State for
the benefit of broken down politicians
and party hacks of various kinds.
Now, one would suppose that all
these extra allowances together would
have been sufficient to satisfy the most
exacting of the party leeches. But the
Democracy evidently went upon the as
sumption that they "had a good thing
ofit,' and that it was well to snake hay
while the sun shone." DO you ask, in
in astonishment, elm the name Of
Heaven, what other way ,o0S there, in
which a pretext could be found for ap-
propriating moneys" You do not un-
derstand the ingenuity of the Demo
cratic mind, when there is money to be
had. A resolution was passed giving
all the clerks, sergeants-a -at-arms and
messenger-boys mileage for the three
days session of 1868! Athing not only
unheard of before, and unprecedented,
but unconstitutional.
But this is not all. There was leg
isIative committees traversing the State
in every direction, on all sorts Of busi-
ness, iunketing and feasting at the ex-
pense of different towns visitedb by them
and travelling on free passes, but draw
ing from the State with undertaking

WANT OF CoURAaE.-Sidney Smith,
in his work on moral philosophy speaks
in this wise of what men lose for the
want of little brass, as it is termed
A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to the grave a num-
Der of obscure men who have only re-
mained in obscurity because their tim
idity has prevented them from making
first effort, and who, if they could
only have been induced to begin, would
in all probability have gone great
lengths in the career of fame. The
fact is, that in order to do anything in
this world worth doing, we must not
stand shivering on the bank, thinking
of the cold aud danger, but jump in
and scramble through as well as we
can. 1t will not do to be perpetually
calculating risks and adjusting the
chances"

From which it appears that these two
able bodied men have together drawn
pay during the two years of 1868 and
9, for Three Thousand Sin Hundred and
EyqM days. What Herculean labor
they must have accomplished!
But this is not ALL The other Clerks
were not neglected. We find the fol-
lowing unprecedented extra allowances
to Clerks and Sergeants-at-Arms, al
ready receiving the highest per diem
ever paid in tie State. These allow
ances the Legislature was prudent
enough to postpone to as late day as
possible before the legislature became
defunct, and they all date during the
last day of the session of 1859;

things of this life, at the dinner-table,
Immediately after his return from Sun
day school. An elder brother, eight
years old, after cycling him for some
time, said, "Charlie, if you were to eat
much more, and it should kill you, you
would weigh so much that the angels
could not carry you to heaven" Little

then looking up, replied; "Wen, if

From the Columbus Journal
What a Retrenchment LeglSla-
Gure can do.

Gure can do.
We have shown repeatedly that the
late General Assembly of unhappy
memory, elected as an experiment in
retrenchment and reform, was most
unfortunate experiment for the State of
Ohio; that it made three sessions in
one term; that it sat longer and drew
a larger per diem than any Legislature
ever before assembled in Ohio; that it
squandered the peoples money reck-
les sly, by direct appropriation and ex-
penditure; that, in addition to this, it
authorized and permitted larger local
expenditures than any other General
Assembly has ever dared to do, and,
as if these were not the utmost limit Of
endurance, that it authorized and en-
powered County Commissioners by law
to absolutely tax the people without
limit, putting it in their power to prac-
tically confscate all the private prop
eyty within their jurisdiction under
pretext of making certain public i'm
provements
AS part of the retrehehing exploits of
this General Assembly and its officers,
it is we'll to remember that @. B. Flood,
clerk of the Senate and Editor of the
Ohio Statesman, draws pay during the
two years, for fifteen hundred and seventy
sia days ,oOrt-or, eight hundred and
forty-fve more days than there are days
in the two years, including all Sundays,
holidays and resting days of every de-
scription.

@The New York Methodist most
truthfully says:
Is Grants administration a failure7
Let US see. Reconstruction has been
put upon the way to completion, in
Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. That
certainly does not look like failure.
Saying nothing about the quality of
some of the foreign appointments, Sec
retary Fish has given strict orders to
our representatives abroad to refrain
from displays of oratory. For this we
owe him many thanks. Heads Of de-
partments have been informed that
there must be no deficiency bills, but
that the expenditures must be confined
within the limits of the appropriations
made by Congress. This is almost too
good to be true; we trust that it is
even so. The public debt decreases at
a rapid rate. That does not look like
failure. But the active politician, Who
is fluent on great issues, is discomfort
ed. His Importance is not recognized,
his vocation is gone. The President
is disposed to do without him, and so
much the worse is it, in his estimation,
for the President. We hope that the
President will continue to get on with
out him, for, with an honorable excep-
ton hele and there, he is an intolerable
nuisance.

WAITING.


Learn TO wait--life's hardest lesson,
Conned, perchnnce, through binding tears;
While the eart.throbs sadly echo
To the tread Of passing years.
Learn TO wait-hopes slow fruition;
Faint not, though the way seems long;
There is q Joy In each condition,
Hearts, through suffering may grow strong.
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome,
Ne'er would ripen fruit or flower;
Giant oaks owe half their greatness
To the scathing tempest's power.
Thus SOUL untouched by sorrow,
Aims not at higher state;
Joy seeks not brighter morrow,
Only sad hearts learn 10 wait.
Human strength and human greatness,
Spring not from llfes sunny side,
Heroes must be more than driftwOod,
Floating on waveless tide.
