Carrying "A Rifle BaII I'm ones
Head for Five Years.

Samuel NJ Bolton, Of tho Elev-
enth Maine Infantry, at the battle
of Bermuda Hundred, was bit by a
ball over the right eyebrow, which
penetrated tho orbit and destroyed
the sight. The wound was probed,
but no ball could be found 80 1t
was allowed TO heal up. Ever af.
terward Bolton was afflicted with
excruciating pains in one half Of
his head and dizziness which no
medicine could relieve. H. finally
consulted DR.. Sanger, who was OF
the opinion that the bone In the
back part OF the orbit was injared,
and should be removed, or the ball
was still lodged there, pressing up-
on the nerves and irritating tho
brain. A day or two since the Doc.
tor, assisted by DIR. Jewell, cut
down and removed an ounce ball
with small portion Of the bone
attached. The bail was hattened
like an old fashioned cent, and had
been corroding in his head for five
years. Relief was immediate. So

The weekly Ohio statesman.


The Ohio Statesman was established
in 1887, by the late Samuel Medary as
the Central Organ Of the Ohio Democ-
racy, aud in the hands Of its present
owners it will carry out the political
principles to which it owes its origiu,
and in all the battles against a consoli-
dation of power in the Federal Govern
ment, and in defense of the rights of
the People and of the States, it will be
found in the fore front of the battle.
In the Legislative proceedings ofthe
coming session an unusual interest
centers. An effort will be made to give
tho assent of Ohio, through her Legis.
lOtiyo Assembly, to that proposed
amendment TO the Constitution of the
United States, that gives to the negro
and the Mongolian- races the right Of
suffrage and to hold Office, not only in
Ohio, but in all the States of the Union.
Two of the Senators and FIVE of tho
Representatives, elected mainly by
Democratic votes on n reform ticket in
Hamilton county, hold the balance of
power on this, as on all other political
questions, in the Senate and House of
Representatives This fact will give
TO the Legislative proceedings Of the
ensuing session an unusual interest, -
twill be the care of the Statesman to
publish full and impartial reports OF
the proceedings, and to keep its read.

battle to be fought in the Legislature

race in Government offices, oa defeat il

TIE ISSUE IN 1872, AND TIE
FINANCIAL SITUATION.


The Chicago Republican of a late
date defines tho issues Of 1872 quito
clearly. 1t says the issue will be
upon the five-twenty bonds, in re-
lation 10 the obligation of the gov
ernment to pay thom in coin or 10.
gal tender notes. OF course il
takes tho side of the bondholdcr,
and is in favor of paying them in
coin. Speaking of the position of
parties 1t says
"Ropublicans as n political or.
ganizaIion, are distinctly, unequiv-
ocally, irrevocably committed 70
the policy and rightfulncss of max
ing payment in specie or its uquiv-
alent. On tho other hand, Demo
Gratis, rs q party, arc os certainly,
plainly and beyond recall commit
ted to the plan, as just and ex2ed =
lent, Of discharging the debt in To-
gal tenders. While all Republicans
and all Democrats do not hold to
or abide by the positions taken by
their several parties on this subject,
our general assertion is substantial
ly correct, for it may be assumed
that the number of Republicans,
who believe that the fivo-twenties
shold be paid in currency is not
greater than the number of Demo-
Gratis who believe that the same
bonds should be paid in com
Tho Republican, however, falls
into an error when II says that
there are as many Democrats IN To-
vor of paying tho 5-20's in COIN as
there are Republicans in favor o.
payirg them in legal tenders. In
New England and New York there
are few Democratic leaders IN ia
vor of paying the 5 20's in coin, but
tho mass Of the party are IN favor
of paying the debt in. the samo cur.
rency in which 1t was contracted
Whereas, IN tho three States o
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, which

Gladstone on ireland.

In his speech tho other night at
tho Lord Mayors Banquet, Mr..
Glandstoue among othor things
told somo truths about ireland,
which must be anything than plea
sing TO British philanthropists and
political economists.
He is compelled TO confess that
after having ruled Ireland for moro
than seven hundred years, Eng
land has failed to give 1t proper
government. To have used tho
proper expression Mr.. Glnndsioue
should have said after expressing
Ireland for more than seven contu .
rics, England has prevented her
people from occupying that posi-.
tian among the civilized nations Of
tho earth for which they are so EN-
inen,ly fitted by Nature. For op-
presslon II has been Of the most
bittor and proscriptive aud unnat-
ural character.
There has been no Ignominy too
great TO heap upon the IRISH peo-
pie, ~ humiliation too degrading
to impose upon them, no perrecu-
ton too relentless to sGourgc them
with. For daring to have national
pride thoy were prescribed as fol
ons, for loving their country they
were doomed to ignoblc death, and
1t was made q crime, punishable
with heavy penalties for them TO
address each other in their native
tongue.
But all this could not break the
spirit of the Irish raco-noither
could reduce them to state Of bar
barism. Her gallant sons, bidding
farewell to thoir native shores,
sought out homes in other lands
and not q civilized nation but points
out with pride upoE her herald rol
of glory, the names of Erin's sons
Prescribed and driven from homo
they have been in the front ranks
of civilization IN other lands, sec
ond 70 none in learning and lltera'
ture and war, or the more delight
ful arts Of peace.
The only wonder is that IrelanC
has not totally degenerated undei
the baneful sway Of British powe
and oppression. Had the policy o
England beon approximately liber
al toward Ireland it would to-da,
have been the brightest jewel II
her crown. But on the contrar,
} sho has systematically oppresset
the people, and heaped indignitie
upon them impossible to be borne
And when the spirit of manhoo'
rebelled against these indignitie
and singing blows OF oppression
and they demanded the commo
and recognized rights inherent i
the human race, they were set up
on as though they were wild beast
and slaughtered without stint o
mercy.

stone says that he had heard of tho
arrival Of Ulogi, from Zanzibar, Of
two instalmonts of supplies for his
use. They had been sent 10 that
point previous to his own arrival,
and were therefore Of great assist
