We learn from the Coshoc
ton Democrat that, Samuel
Ketchum, who was one Of the
parties in the Coshocton county
embezzlement case, was arraign'
ed at the bar on the first inst,
plead guilty, and was sentenced
to five years in the Ohio Peni-
tentiary, and to pay q fine Of
$44, 4,072, being a sum double
the amount of that found en-
bezzled. The Sheriff started
with him to Columbus on the
same day. Brown wa1 sent one
week earlier. This is the end
of the matter.-[St. Clairsville

accomplished Facts"
A certain class of Democrats


A certain class of Democrats,
small in number but respecta-
bic on account of their associa.
tions, are throwing themselves
down on the ground in the
depths of despair and exclaim-
ing : 'It is of no use to fight
against negro sufrage-it is
an accomplished fact"
Now let US examine and see
whether they are justifable in
thus giving way because Of the
temporary advantage gained by
the negro party.
AT one time during the Rev
olution, Lord North proclaimed
to Parliament that the rebel
lion in America was suppress
ed-that the authority Of King
George was re,established--tha
the subjugation of tie ''rebels"
was an accomplished Fact" "
The tyrants over Switzerland
thought that every vestige of
Freedom had been crushed out
of the land, and there were only
three men left who were not
subjugated. But these three
were brave and determined, and
kneeling among the wild crags
Of the mountains, they swore
an earnest oath never to cease
their efforts until their country
was free and they overturned
another, accomplished Fact. -
The Jews thought that when
they cruciied the Master that
his religion would die with him,
but the evidences are too over
whelming to even enumerate,
which demonstrate that Chris
tianity reversed can Accom-
plished Fact"
accomplished Facts" occur
every day,
1t is a fact that error tri-
umphs often over truth.
But "Truth crushed will rise
again"
So will this accomplished
Fact" Of negro suffrage and ne
gro equality be swept away
even by the slow but sure logic
of events which N ature impels
in her defence.
The unnatural force equaliza-
ton of the races cannot stand
the pressure of the laws which
govern everything.
The white man is the evan
gelist of civilization.
The negro is the black and
dismal concomitant of barbar-
ism.
Progress is the word.
Fight against progress and
civilization, and you fight
against God and Nature.
Prate not then about Gao
complished Facts" to those who
know what they are talking
about.
God is on our side.
When he accomplishes facts,
then will we accept the situa-
tion."

POETRY.
Summer Time in the Fields
BY Il. s. D.

In the fields where the clover blossom
And the daisy's yellow head
Tell us Of the ripcning season,
Green and gold In beauty wed.
Birds ofvaried hue there singing,
Strcamlets mid the turf there singing,
Nature weurs her smile most winning,
Green and gold In beauty we'd!
In tho fields where lambkins glceful
Roam about with careless feet,
Where the lowing kline so peaceful
Crop the springing vcrdure sweet,
There the sunny hours are joyous;
Nature radiant, nature glorious,
Brcathcs her gracious influence DER u.s.
Mans full heart and nature meet.
