THE UNDISPUTED SUPERB
ORITY of the medicinal virtues of
Roback's Blood Pills, Stomach Bit
ters and Blood Purifier over all other
remedies prepared to relieve suffer
ing humanity, is shown in many ways,
but especially is it evinced in this
important fact: That responsible
druggists and merchants all over the
country take active interest in intro
duciug them to their best customers
and friends, while, at the same time,
is quite as much to their pecuniary
interest to recommend other medi-
eines. The reason for this is obvi-
oGs. they are in positions to see
the pre- eminent efficacy of the pills
in cases of Liver Complaint and all
obstructions of the bowels, and, in
fact, in all cases where cathartic
medicine can be employed. While
the Bitters, by their gentle tonic,
stimulaut and laxative properties,
and as safe and certain remedy in
Dyspepsia, have won the admiration
of every one who has given them a
trial, and the Blood Purifier is ack
nowledged to be one of the best rem
edies to search out disease, cure
Scrofula, Old Sores, Eruptions and
Skin Diseases and to purify the blood
extant; hence the people must natur
ally give their voice in favor of rem
edies which effect so much real good
in the world. feb 25-4w

Tribute Of Respect.

At q regular meeting of Ariel
Lodge No. l56 I. o. o. F., the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted
r. WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
God in his dispensation of provi-
dence, to remove from this Lodge to
the Celestial Lodge above, our wor-
thy, and highly esteemed Brother
ALEX. HALLIDAY, whose life. by pre-
cept and example was devoted to the
principles of Odd Fellowship. He
was ever what he seemed; the teach
ings OF Odd Fellowship were never
false colors with him. He obeyed
the laws Of the order with pleasure,
ever ready to do some act of kind
ness to relieve the distressed. His
illness was long and tedious, yet he
bore it with calmness and christian
resignation, feeling an assurance that
this tenement of clay would soon be
dissolved, and he be summoned to his
eternal audit; yet he had in heaven
better inheritance; be it therefore
Resol0ed, That in the death oi
Brother HALLIDAY, this Lodge has
lost a worthy and jealous member,
and society one of its brightest or
naments.
Resolced, That we sincerely and
with fraternal tenderness, offer our
heartfelt coincidence to the bereaved
family from whom our departed
Brother has thus been removed, and
with pious confidence commend them
to Him whose goodness bindeth up
the broken heart.
RESOLVED, That the Lodge room be
draped in mourning, and the mem
bers wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for thirty days.
Resolvpd, That these resolutions be
entered in our minutes, and copy
sent TO the family of our deceased
Brother, and that they be published
in the Gallipolis Journal.

Having attended this scheol for
some time, we feel that it will be
doing an act of justice to our teacher
as well as to the people of Ewington
to say word to the public concern
inc this institution.
The school has been in successful
operation, since the year 1859, and
during this time, has sent out several
hundred students from its walls, TO
engage in lifes duties, many as teach
ers.
A regular course Of study has just
been adopted by the Board, which
will require two years of thirty eight
weeks each, to finish. This will af-
ford young men an opportunity to
prepare for college at much less
expense than 1t usually requires;
while those young ladies and gentle
men whose circumstances will not
admit of taking lengthy course, in
college, can here complete short
course OF study, thus preparing them
selves for the increasing demands of
society, for those who are well quail
fed to teach or engage in other bu-
siness pursuits. To those who de-
sire to attend a good school, where
they can receive such a practical ed
ucation as appears to De most need
ed. in the present times, we can
heartily recommend the Ewington
Academy.

A Plea for .Ciem.U

EDITOR JOURNAL
Permit me to say one
word in defence of ''poor Clem.'
don't think it fair that ''Jessie Glen
wood" or any other woman, should be
allowed to use the poor fellow so badly.
When he made the assertion that wo-
men were employed mostly in summer,
or when the finances of the school were
at lowest ebb, he had reference merely
to the district in which he was raised.
Of course, having read educational rec
ords of our country he knew that, tax
ing all the schools, seminaries, and col
leges together, we have in the United
States 100000 woman to $4,000 male
teachers, while in Boston and many
other cities, nine tenths of the teachers
employed are women. And that in
States where education is most pros
porous, the average is as five to one.
Being man "Clem" knew these things,
but they are facts not soothing" no
wonder he avoided them. And then
to receive only 81 SO while other men
no taller or uglier than himself, were
making their fours and fives, is certain
ly provoking enough. And what makes
the matter worse, "Clem'' is man, and
his field for action, and labor so limit
ed. Now if only there were open to
him some trade or profession inviting
him to wealth and honor-some avenue,
to which as man he could gain ac-
cess-I have no doubt but he would
take an opiate to quiet his unstrung
nerves, and engage in some other work,
in which his gigantic intellect might be
more fully expanded. And even though
it should not be delecta5le, might be more
remunerative But with only one field
in which he dare hope for success, and
even in this to be rivaled by the ''pow-
dered faced soothers," is certainly more
than human nature can bear and keep
silent No wonder he grows indig,
nant with righteous indignation. -
l fear "Clem's" sunny disposition will
be too severely triedSunless the present
state of affairs are somewhat changed
Couldn't we have a law made suited to
his case-repudiate woman altogether?

much per capita, and it was there

Gg' The Cabinet question is still un-
settled. Gen. Grant remarked to some
friends, few days since, that he should
keep the whole matter to himself, not
even notifying those whom he had Sc
lected, until theappointments were sent
to the Senate. He also remarked that
those whom he selected would all be
men who were loyal to the Union dur
ing the war, and who gave strong and
faithful support to the platform and
ticket on which he was elected. That
is sufficient. Gen. Grant will prove
true to his friends, and intermeddling
Office seekers and politicians had better
let him alone.
We shall be able, we hope, to state
the result next week, and that is sufi
cient for US.

The suffrage amendment is at dead
lock. The House non-concurred in
the Senate amendment 1t came back
to the Senate and they receded from
their amendment Senators Wilson d
Morton's) and finally adopted the orig
inal amendment proposed by the Senate
judiciary committee. 1t now goes to
the House for their concurrence, but |
hardly think it viii be brought up in
time to avoid the fatal ten days pocket
veto of the President prior to adjourn
ment. In that case it is dead cock
in the pit, as the Republicans viii not
have the requisite two-thirds vote in
the 41st Congress to enable them to
pass it, The proposition, as it now
goes to the House, is as follows:
''The right of citizens of the United
Estates to vote or hold Office, shall not
ssbe denied or abridged by the United
Estates, or any State, on account of race,
"color, or previous condition of servi-
s'tude."
The House is busy on the army ap-
preparation bill, to which the unquench-
able Butler has succeeded in attaching
an amendment reducing the army TO
$4,000 men, and staff corps one-half,
mastering out all supernumerary Off
GERS. 1t is SO radically unjust that
there is no prospect of its passage. B.

and cripples its efficiency whenever an
opportunity presents itself; or at least,
tries to.

Worgan Raid Claims,

We are glad to note the following
proceedings of the Ohio House of
Represen tatiyes.
H. 3. No. 81. Mr. Welch To pro.
vide for the payment Of claims for
damages growing out of the military
expedition OF John Morgan in the
State of Ohio, A. d. 1863.
Mr. Cockerill took the floor, and
made an elaborate and able speech in
advocacy OF the bill, showing its ex
pediency and justice, and reoiting at
length the action of Pennsylvania il
reference to paying for the property
OF her citizens, destroyed during reb
ell invasions in 1868 and other times.
He appealed to members from por
tions of the State net to turn its cold
shoulder to their brethren in the
Southern portions, because they were
fortunate enough not to live along
the line of the Morgan raid
Mr. Welch defended the bill on
the ground of public policy. To let
men know that they ere not to be
compensated for their property de-
stroyed by an enemy, they will not
be inclined to resist him, but make
the easiest and best terms they can
to save their property.
After some further discussion, the
bill passed-60 to %.
The CABINET.-In conversation
with Senator Thayer, a few days
since, Gen Grant remarked:
81 want to say to you that ] shall
send icto the Senate the name of
Major General Schoield, as Secre-
tary of War, but it is likely that he
will decline and return to his position
ia the army. l shall then nominate
civilian for that Office. and l want
the Senate to know this" Turning
to Congressman Dickey, Morrill,, Of
Pennsylvania, and Roots, of Arkan-
sas, who were at short distance
| from him, he said he had no ebjec-
tions to their hearing what he had to
say or. the question of the Cabinet
He remarked: 81 am opposed TO ap-
pointing officers of the army and
| navy to civil offices and shall, there
fore, have civilian at the head oi
each department" This statement
comes from members OF Congress
who were present, and they express
their satisfaction at the sentiments
of the General, and helieye from the
conversation that he will have Q
! straightout Republican Cabinet.
