Death Of General Thomas.

The announcement of the sudden
death Of Major General Geo. H.
Thomas, which took place at San
Francisco, California, On Monday
evening last, threw cloud of pro-
found sorrow over the entire na-
ton. How gladly would the nation
have had him spared for many long
years to enjoy Government in the
defense of which he contributed such
conspicuous services, but Gods
ways are not those of man, and He
has called him where there are
no wars. AS long as American his
tory has a place among the living,
Gen. Thomas will be revered by the
lovers of liberty everywhere.
"Stationed at his post, doing the
work that was appointed him TO do
with the earnestness and faithfulness
that he used to manifest in the days
of the war, ,discharging his duty with
fidelity and courage, he died in the
midst of his fame, more honored,
more esteemed, more loved than any
man in the great Republic. No truer
heart ever beat, no braver soul ever
lived mo manlier man ever breathed.'
The cause of his death was apo
plexy and his age was fifty-four.
How devoted they were to his
country.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
next week

Is receiving great deal Of atten-
ton in Congress and from the press,
and its Importance demands it. We
notice that, while there is great diff
ference Of opinion, yet, in the main,
the Republican Congressman from
the West, including many from the
East, are about unanimous in favor
Of a radical reduction of the preseAt
tariff. We are glad of this. Having
been under the impression that the
higher the tariff the greater the rev.
enue, to the Government, and learn
ing that the leverse is the case, We
have come to the conclusion that it
is best to have a moderate tariff for
revenue which the Government must
have and would so frame it, if
possible. as TO render reasonable
protection to American manufactur-
ers, but not to exclude the importa.
ton of foreign goods. In other
words, while we desire to prevent
foreign manufacturers from breaking
down American Industry, We at the
same time sre firmly opposed to con-
fering by law special power upon
a few to outrageously tax forty mil
lion of people for their own individ
ual aggrandizement.

FROM WHARTONSBURG.
MARCH 18th, 1870.

DEAR EDITOR: AS you solicit
local news from different parts OF
the county, we will endeavor to
give you a few items from this
place. In the mercantile line we
have but one dry goods store. and
that is not anything extra. Mr.. s.
Coats keeps grocery store and is
doing good business. While we
have but one dry goods store, we
have three groceries, which, judgr
ing by the number of drunken
wretches we see staggering through
town, do n flourishing business in
the, ,rhiskey line. We have every
once and q while las is the case in
every place where whiskcy is sold
a drunken fight, SO taking it all
into consideration we cannot won
der much at Wharton having rather
IA hard name abroad. But for all
this, we have some very fine citi.
zens here. There has been consid-
cradle sickness in the vicinity and
som have returned to their mother
earth. who but short time before,

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, on Tuesday, Hon.
JOHN SHERMAN moved to sus,
pend the present and all prior Or
defs for the purpose of taking up
the resolution to discharge the Ju
dietary Committee from further
consideration of the Texas bill.
A discussion ensured during which
Mr.. TRUMBULL, of Illinois (R.),
characterized the motion as a gross
act of discourtesy toward the Judi
ciary Committee for which there
was neither Justification nor rieces-
sity.
Mr. SHERMAN said he had not
intended to cast any reproach upon
the committee as their labors have
been most onerous, and the COM
mittee was universally recognized
as among the ublest of the commit
tees OF Congress, but the political
and national necessities of the tase
were such that he was not to be de-
tered from his duty by d mere
question of etiquette. The major
ity Of the Senate felt the Texas bill
should be acted upon at once, in
order that the proclamation of the
adoption of the 18th Amendment
might be made, and that great ques-
ton forever settled. Mr.. SHER-
NAN further replied that in
resisting the motion, the Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee was en-
deavoring to dictate to the Senate
its order Of business. He had ans
wered the Senator that he had can
vassed the Senate through the yeas
and nays taken this morning, which
showed that majority were anx-
ious to take up the bill, while early
action upon the Georgia bill and
General Ames' case was desirable
The admission Of Texas affords the
most rapid means of accomplish
ing the same end, to wit the official
announcement OF the adoption of the
Is Amendment. It was impossible
to reach a vote on the subjects i'm
mediately, as any Senator who look
ed around him might see half q doz.
en- prepared speeches yet to be de-
livered.
Both propositions Of Mr.. Shcr-
mans motion were finally carried;
the part to postpone the present and
priororders by yeas 4S, nays Sand
the second, to discharge the Judici-
ary Committee from the considera-
ton of the bill, by yeas SO, nays Is.
The bill was then taken un and read.
= On motion of Mr.. SHERMAN,
/ the proviso, that the act shall not
affect in any manner the condition
and guarantees upon which the
State Of Texas was annexed as q
State. was stricken out, and the
bill then passed without discussion
by party vote-yeas, Al, nays II.

A ANVIL sotuY 10 w.
ED. REPUBLICAN:-It has often
been query to me, why some .oi
our talented young men and women
did not respond to your oft repeated
requests that some one, in our thru.
wing town, should write short and
spicy articles for publication in our
paper, the REPUBLICAN. Since our
young folks decline giving you such
items of news, which would be in
teresting to your numerous readers;
I will try, in my awkward way, Ito
furnish you with few items. i
The ware house on the west side
Iof the railroad is being changed
into Touring mill OF three or fou,
pairs of burs. When the job was
commenced in the winter, the Com.
pany thought they would be able to
have the mill in running order by
the first of April. But in this they
failed. They now think it will take
them until about the first of June
to complete the work. ..
John N. Hesse, the oldest resi-.
dent in our township, and one
AMONG the first settlers of this par,
of the county, died at his residence
in this place, last Friday evening,
aged about 81 years. Mr.. Hesse
has been entirely blind for several
years. He has left an aged widow,
who, at the time Of this writing. is
dangerously i'll.
"A few years ago one of ou1
healthy and robust young men Il.

informed me that as they had hard

moved from here to Indiana, where
they bought farm of 80 acres, but
as they both took the agueg from

promising men back among US

MR. EDITOR:
l have been reading few articles
in your paper of late upon the sub.
iect of Tariff which mas Influenced
me to write, giving my views in re
gard to some Of the ideas as there
presented. The writer of those are
ticles seems to have singled out one
particular class of laboers. Why has
he done that? / can see no good
reason. Is it becasse he thinks that
he eau obtain their sympathy and
their votes? Or is it that particular
class are the only PERSONS who labor
in this country7 Why this great
sympathy for the farmer? What
would the improvements of this
country be without mental labor ?
What is it that enables this country
of high wages to produce iron as
cheap as Europe? What is it but
the result of deep thought that we
have arrived ut "greater efficiency
and skill p Shall the farmer re-
ceive all the sympathy and are they
the only class that obey the com

the force of the argument thatbe
cause the country has become settle<

our wheat to market instead Of team

this State in lumber wagons to get
it to water navigation. Then it, re:

need manufacturers to day as much
as any time in our past history, and
are we not all manufacturers. Does
not the farmer manufacture beef,
pork and wool from his grain and

all producers and consumers. What
is commerce I answer it is simply
an exchange of products. The free

The Upper Sandusky Republican
is prostituting its columns weekly
to the contributions of some mono
maniacal "free trader" Bro. Cuneo
if you are in favor Of free trade,
why don't you come out and join
the Democratic party and say 80.
Don't "beat the devil around the
bush !'-[ Kenton Republican.
We would inform the Republican
that the contributions above referred
to, we're written by gentleman
who never breathed in sympathy
with the Democratic party and
don't believe he ever will. He was
formerly "red hot protectionist,
but like many others in the great
West, his views have been changed
by the light and forse Of events.
We would also inform the Repub-
Hcan that said contributor is one OF
the most respected, intelligent bust
ness men Of this place and has the
entire confidence of the Republi
cans of this county.
We, by no means endorse all he
has written on the Tariff question,
but this is no reason for excluding
his contributions from our columns.
The advice of the junior editor of
the Republican, that we go over to
the Democratic party, sounds like
the utterance Of q hopeless fool.
and therefore we make no reply. -

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, they
have tried teaching school without
the use of the rod, for about year,
after which experiment, they found
it necessary to restore hickory oil
to its legitimate purposes. The
truth is that humanity is born heir
to certain maladies which can only
be cured by the use of the rod, or
something similar. We would not
favor placing the rod in the hands
of block heads and human brutes,
but would have it strictly under
stood in the school room, that will
full disobedience must be followed
by severe punishment. There would
be about as much propriety in pro
hibiting physicians to use medicine,
and still expect them to heal the
sick, as educators to teach school
without the proper use of hickory
or willow oil. We very dis inctly
remember the vigorous application
of this remedy to ourself, by our
parents, when young, and, al
though unduly severe at times, we
should regard them as guilty of a
great wrong, had they omitted its
use. We believe in requiring rigid
obedience to the authority ofparcnts
and teachers, on the part of the
young, and to the laws of the land
of the adults.
