SOME Of our exchanges are dis
cussing the ''cause of the dull
tines" There is but oncc cause of
the dull times, and that is the party
which has exhausted the country Of
its blood, its muscle, and its com
merce. The poor devils who work
ed to elect Grant,are growing like
dogs with sore heads at the fruit of
their folly. They sowed folly and
they have reaped q fool. Nor is
there any hope Of better times for
the four years Of his administration,

THE most treacherous .newspa-
per published on this Continent is
the Ne,o York Workt. There is not
a single pure or true Democratic
sentiment to be found in it, yet,
some Democrats subscribe tor and
read it and then recommend it to
Others. We hopethat If there is a
single copy Of it taken by o Demo-
crat in Vinton county, 1t @il be DIS
continued forthaoitk. Just on the
eve of the Presidential election last
year, it came out with an article.
written in a style that demoralized
the Democratic organization thro'-
out the country, and actually ad-
vised the National Democratic
Committee to throw SEYMOUR off
the Presidential ticket and place
the old rotten carcass OF SALMON (.
CHAsE at the head OF the tickot.-
Now, this same treacherous journal
advises the Democracy Of Ohio to
surrender their opposition to negro
suffrage.
We advise all Democrats to keep
far away from q journal that has
favored the placing of o trcasona-
BILE crew at the head Of the
Government to overthrow it and
drag the country into bankruptcy.
Down with Democratic papers that
that cause the defeat Of Democratic
Presidential candidates and urge
Democrats to surrender their oppo-
sition to constitutional amendments
that degrade them into amalgama'
tion with niggers!

The Radicals ie Trouble.
The masses of the party now in
power in this State are very much
dissatisfied with the State ticket
now before the people. In all parts
of Ohio, not excluding Vinton coun-
ty, there are many farmers who
will not support Gov. HAYS for
Governor this year because he has
played into the hands of tho Yam
kee manufacturers by favoring a
low duty upon the wool they con.
sumo, In this part Of the State he
will be held strictly to an account
for his double faced course upon the
Morgan raid bill, Let us all go
against him. The Democracy at
Columbus to-day will nominate a
man who will represent the inter-
ests Of all classes.

RECORD OF A STRONG COMPANY
The National Life Insurance Compa-
ny, which received its charter from
the national Congress in July last,
has already made its record in unmis-
taxable characters. With its agencies
as YET only in process Of organization,
it has, as we learn, issued insurance
to an amount exceeding seven million
dollars. This we think is a very
marked success-it is so much need
full work well done.
The Company does a strictly cash
business as being in its judgment the
simplest and best for both the insurer
and the insured, and it never compli.
Gates its affairs with either notes,
loans, or dividends, and thus leaves
no door open to misapprehension or
disappointment in the future. While
the principle Of so much insurance
for so much money" is rigidly adher.
ed to, and every policy has thus a
fixed and determinate value, all accu.
mutations that might otherwise be de-
clared as dividends at some future
time, are discounted in advance, anC
the exact pro rata is counted in will
the amount of each policy when it i.
issued.
Managed by men of the highest Fl
nancial ability and undoubted integri
ty, protected by large paid-up casl
capital, and possessing all the ele
ments that have given success to othe
similar enterprises, we should expec
this would become one of the mos
successful institutions of its kind.

times too good for Owen" as one of
the neighbors remarked. When they
lived in Peacham Mrs. Owen used to
go out to work by the day, endeavor-
ing to earn something for the support
of herself and children. Although
her husband is a strong able-bodied
man, Mrs. Owen has gone home to her
mothers for three winters, to keep
from starving, and says she would
have done the same this winter if her
mother had been living. There have
been days together the present winter
in which there has been nothing eata-
BILE in the house but dry beans; and
the only provision in the house when
Owen was arrested were few pota-
toes-no flour, meal, meat, butter,
sugar, or any of the necessaries of
life. Some of the rough and stormy
days of The present winter the little
girl OF four years has been up to the
village (they live off in the meadow
about quarter of mile below the
village) after milk for the family, and
at her tender years, and with INSULT
cient clothing, she has toiled through
the snow on an unDroken road while
her father, the natural protector and
provider of the family, has been sit
ting in the house smoking. The fiji
teen cents that Mrs. Owen bought
kerosene with on the night in question
was left of little money Mrs. Owen S
brother left her to keep her and the
children from starving. All the Grim
inal neglect and abuse of this man has
been mainly kept from the public dur
ing these years, and would not now
have come out if the perpetrator haC
not evidently intended to add to his
other crimes that worst of all, wife
murder. We think it fortunate tina

the local news that is current in their

ty readers is for county news-of

what we will pay literally for. We

posted in the events as they come and

suicides, mammoth oxen, bouncing

other crops, precociouS babies. fines
for selling liquor, and fines for drunk
enness, revivals of religion, general
progress in any direction, and every
thing that rational being would like

contributions, and will pay fifteen
cents for each item that is published,
no matter how long or short, and will
pay as soon as demanded or before.
We have correspondents now writing
for US that have earned some eighteen
dollars since last June, at cost to
them of not more than a dollar for
postage. We think this pays well
enough, better than anything else ac-

will attend to it can average at least
four items a week of good news, but
for mercy sake don't send US such

afraid to send US news from a silly
fear that you can not write it out in a
scholarly shape. Give us the facts
and we will fix them to suit ourselves

passage asserting the sacredness of
the public debt, he had gone away
disheartened and sorrowful, because
it had shown him that the canker that
possessed the American body polite
had got possession of the President

hoped that the President would yet

turn away from this policy as from a
