HERE We HAVE HM.--A short time ago the
editor Of the Portsmouth T'ribuae ntlmated that
the editor Of this paper had been indugIng ln
the Vices so prevalent on the Bottom, when at
Chlllicothe. We then thought that we won Id
sometime catch him. And now We have him.
On the 10th of June we published the follow
ing editorial news item;
Tho oopperhead Trustees of Morgan town
ship, GallIa county, have had verdict of $3.50 90
rendered against them for refusing visible
admixture" voter the right of the elective fran
chlse."
The last number Of the Tribune In Its editorial
news Items, gets II off In this way;
''Tho trustees Of Morgan county Ohio, have
had verdict OF $3.50, 600 rendered against them
for refusing visible admixture voter the right
Of exercising the elective franchise"
Now We did not know that there were such
officers as the trustees of = county. And then
what heavy verdict Fifty thousand dollars
each for the trustees Of Morgan county to pay
Oh Bro. Mcfarland When everything stops
running around, can you not fall about one

Yes, and in Ohio, six years ago, 1t was ''mil-
itary offense" TO make democratic speeches. or
print democratic newspapers. 1t was the clarion
voice of George Ellis Pugh that broke the spell
of despotsm. The defiance he hurled at Burn
side and his miserable minions, In june, 1863
was worthy of HRmpdeu, of John Adams or of
Patrick Henry. IL ranked him at once among
the bravest and noblest Of the sons OF men.
GLORY without end
Gathers around his name and on it shall attend
The tears aud praises Of all time!
--MariettG Times
1t will be remembered that George Ellis Pugh
was the Democratic candidate in the year 1868
| for 1t. Governor on the same ticket with VAL
landghau, and the defiance" which he hurled
at Burnside, was the threat that If Vallandigham
| should be elected Governor, he would raise
rebellion in Ohio, place himself at the head of
two hundred thousand Democrats, go to Canada
and escort the convicted and banished traitor to
| Columbus.
We are pleased to see Democratic editors keep
the memorable campaign of 1868 before the
people. Gen. Burnside was the commander in
Ohio. The Democratic party was notoriously
in favor of the rebellion and by every means
except taking up arms, aided the rebels. VAL
landigham made q speech discouraging enlist
ments, at period when the filling up Of our
exhausted arm les was essential 10 the salvation
| of our Government. For this speech he was
tried, convicted and ordered to be imprisoned
during the war. Presiden. Lincoln commuted
his sentence to Punishment TO the rebel territory,
, where his friends lived. He went thence TO
Canada, where he waited and watched" for the
success Of the rebellion, and where he was when
the Democratic party voted for him for Gov
II ernOr of Ohio. If more than one hundred thou
esand majority of loyal men had not said by their
votes that no convicted traitor should be Gov
ernor Of Ohio, we do not know whether George
Ellis Pugh nd his two hundred thousand CO.
traitors would have carried out their threat or
not; but that the treason then lurked in their
hearts and that they are not ashamed yet to
avow the fact, we are anxious that the people
may still remember, from their own admissions

The last issue of the Jackson STANDARD max es
a frightful arraignmcnt of the last Legislature,
because of the marriage law passed at the last
session. The enrolling clerk in copying the law
wrote t0eRty-Oae instead of eighteen, as the age
: of females who may marry without the consent
of their guardians. 1t was not the fault of the
Legislature, but of the clerk, and the error was
overlooked by the enrolling committee. We
remember distinctly that the law rs passed read
eighteen" 1t might be well for the editor of
the Standard to know that the bill was intro
duced by a Republican-Mr. Saylor the member
from Preble County. But abusing a Legislative
body for such an error is ridiculous in the ex-
treme-only ht for very small minds to seize
upon -POrtsmouh Times.
We do not object to the law as II was intended
TO have 1t passed.
Formerly girls could marry at fourteen years
of age, with consent Of parents Or guardian.
Now they must be sixteen. This is right. No
girl of fourteen is fit to take upon herself the
responsibilities of married life.
Then the new law forbids tine marriage of
cousins. This is right. The marriage of near
relatives is O sin against nature.
But we do object TO that part OF the law which
forbidS any woman between eighteen and twenty
one, whose parents are dead, to marry at all,
Such women are not minors, and can have no
guardian appointed. So they cannot legally
marry.
But says Mr.. Newman, who was a member of
this remarkable Legislature, it was the blunder
of q clerk and on enrolling committee, and q
Republican introduced the bill SC. Now pray,
are the drunken, or laundering, or incompetent
men who compose this committee, and who act
as clerks, Republlcans2 The majority of the
Legislature, who are Democrats, are responsible
for the acts of their appolntees, and If they put
in office their favorltes for party ends, who are
thus. utterly incompetent they must take the
responsibility.
