The YORK RoAD.--The Commissioners TO lay
out and define the proper limits the York road,
under its charter, are now engaged at their du-
ties. We understand that the intention is not
10 actually widen the road, but TO define its lin
its, so that no improvements may be erected upon
company property, SO that full sixty-six feet may
be reserved for the use of the road, should cir
cumstances require lis appropriation. We won
der how this company would like 10 be indicted
for obsiracling the public highway? We have
heard such thug seriously suggested, because
the gae-houses al Towsontown and Wavery are

Death of Hon. John Bell.

Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, died
Friday last, at his home near Nash
vile. He had been in falling health
for long time, and his death was not
unexpected to his friends. Mr.. Bell
was in the seventy third year of his
age, and during the earlier years of
his life had taken an active part in
politics. AT the age of thirty he was
elected to Congress, and served for
fourteen consecutive. years in the
lower Houses. . He was appointed
Secretary of War by Gen. Harrison,
but resigned soon after the accession
Of John Tyler. In1S47 he was elect
cd to the Senate, where he remained
until 1859. In May, 1860, he was the
Presidential candidate of the "Union
party" After the secession of the
Cotton States, he made strenuous eff
forts for peace and union, but Mr..
Lincoln's first call for troops drove
him into the advocacy of the cause of
the Confederacy, and he was there
after strong friend of Southern in
dependence. He lost the larger part
of his property by the war, and since
its close he has been living in retire
ment at the Cumberland Iron Works
which he owned and operated.

By the passage of Schenck's bill
providing for paying the 500 bonds
in gold, instead of greenbacks, as the
law, the bonds, and the legal tenders
before provided, from S500,000,000 to
SS00,000,000 were added to the bur-
then of the people. Now, if it be
true, as the Radicals assert, that they
are reducing the debt at the rate of
$5,OO0,OOO to $S,O00,OOO a month, it
will take ten yeras to make up what
they have voluntarily donated to tho
bondholders.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1869-09-16

The greenbacks put in circulation
by authority of our loyal Radical gov
ernment, all contain the following en-
dorsement on their backs.
This note is a Legal tender for all
debts, public and 3o,Icate, except du-
ties on imports and interest on the
public debt; and is receivable in pay
ment of ALL LOANS made to the
UNITED STATES" Is this endorse
ment true, or is tia lie, put on the
backs of these notes for deception :?
If true, it is a piece of most villainous
impudence on the part of fbondholders
and their paid retainers, and tools, to
assert that the bonds given for ''loans
to the United States" are not payable
in greenbacks? Being so made paya-
BILE, by what authority does Secretary
Boutwell, pay the holders of the $50
bonds, now over due, 25 per cent,
premium, when they have no right to
demand more than dollar for dollar.
Why does he>pay them One Million
two Hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, where there is but one mil
lion due ?-Findley Courier.

MARK TWAIN thus mourns over Ad-
ANS grave: "The tomb Of Adam =
How touching it was, here in land
of strangers, far away from home, and
friends, and all who cared for me, thus
to discover the grave of blood rela-
ton. True, distant one, but still q
relation. The unerring instinct of
nature trilled its recognition. The
fountain of my filial affection was
stirred to its profoundest depths, and
| gave way to tumultuous emotion
| leaned upon pillar and burst into
tears. deem it no shame to have
wept over the grave of my poor dead
relative. Let him who would sneer
at any emotion, close this volume here,
for he will find little to his taste in my
journeyings through the Holy Land.
Noble old mamie did not live to see
me-he did not live to see his child
And I-I-alas, did not live to see
him. Weighed down by sorrow and
disappointment, he died before was

bear it with fortitute. Let us trust
that he is better off where he is. Let
us take comfort in the thought that
