James Monroe.

The nominee of the Congressional
Convention at West Salem, is now be-
fore the people of the 14th District
for election. When we say that Mr..
Monroe is competant for the pos
ition, we simply say what every
Republican and Democrat knows.
When we say that he possesses all
the Jacksonian requisites, we but
echo the sentiments of the people.
So sure then, as the ides of October
come, so sure will the people of the
14th District elect him to the posi-
ton for which they have nominated
him. In this we simply express
what is already conceded on every
hand. James Monroe, we believe,
is christian gentleman fully quail
fed for the position, a true Republi-
can who heartily endorses our plat
form of principles and one whom
every well wisher of his country will
be pleased to vote for.-Ashland

promote the cause in our county, by
the discussion of topics of interest
connected with the work, and the
organization of a County S.S.Union.
THE ATTENDANCE
was large. On the second day, the
capacious church was found too
small, and the Convention adjourned

lows: President, Rev. A. E. Thomp-

rolled. when it was found that eight
cen schools, of the following denom-
nations were represented: Metho-
dist Episcopal, Disciple, Lutheran,
Congregational, Presbyterian, and
United Presbyterian.
All persons in attendance ON the
sessions of the Convention were
considered members.
THE TOPICS DISCUSSED
were How to conduct Sabbath
School; How do you teach your
class? Is there a place in the S. S.
for every member of the church?
How to teach an infant class, with
an illustration; Why am l S. S.
teacher?
The discussion of these subjects,
continued through most of two days,
was interesting and instructive, and
was participated in by many mem
bers. An answer drawer was open
ed for direct replies to the question,
What does your S. S. most needl"
Many pointed and suggestive re-
sponses were elicited-such as
More grace; A revival of religion;
The influence of the Holy Spirit;
More scholars; A lice superintend-
ant, DC.
A Question Drawer exercise was
also introduced, and excited a lively
interest. The questions came in
volleys Would you ever expel a
scholar should question books or
be used in the S. S.?
What would you do with man who
~W be superintendent or nothing?
Answer by Bro. Mitchell: "Put him
in the infant class" CHEERS. Have
you n teachers meeting? if not, why
not? and among many others, the
great question: ''How shall l make
my peace with God" Answer by
one brother: "Obey the Gospel"
BY another: believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ

SIAUNcH DEMOCRATS.

The Democracy talk great deal
about good, old, sound, reliable,
staunch Democrats. All these are
very well, but when they get an op
portunity they Will nominate polit.
ical weather-cocks. This year they
have two for Congress in this State
Hubbell in the Delaware District
who "soured" on the Republicans
because they would not send him tc
Congress again, and Lew Campbell
of the Montgomery District, who
was a protective-tariff Wing, a Know
Nothing, a Republican, johnson
ite, and now a Democrat. He don't
change as often as the moon for the
simple reason that there are not par
ties enough to allow of such 6
course. Both of these named are
sound Democrats, who believe il
the 'undying principles of the ole
party"-in a horn.

THE CAMPAIGN.

Prof. Monroe will at once enter
upon the campaign in Ashland,
Wayne and Holmes Counties. We
hope to be able to announce in our
next issue, the time when he will
address the people of this county.
He expects to give us at least three
meetings in the County. One in
Millersburg, one in the eastern and
one in the western part Of the
County. Mr.. Monroe is a fine
speaker and will discuss the issues
of the day in an able and eloquent
manner. We hope every Republi-
can as well as Democrat will come
out and hear him.

THE PROSPECTS.

The prominent Republicans of the
State had meeting with the Cen
tral Committee, at Columbus, last
week, to arrange the details for the
campaign. The interchange of views
was in the highest degree satisfac-
tory. From all parts of the State
the most cheering reports come up.
We shall soon have the great orators
and leading men of the State among
the people. The campaign promises
to be a lively one. Of the result
there is no doubt. Ohio will give
her usual round majority of from
10000 to 10000, and we shall elect
our usual majority of members of
Congress.

THE EMPIRE FALLEN.

The French Empire is no more
1t breathed its last on the I'd of Sep
tember, 1870, at 1:22 P. NJ. The
following dispatch announces the
important fact:
BEFORE SEDAN, France,
Friday, Sept. 2-1:22 P. NJ.
From the King to the Queen.
A capitulation, whereby the whole
army at Sedan are prisoners of war,
has just been concluded with Gen.
Wimpfew, commanding instead of
Marshal McMahon, who is wounded.
The Emperor surrendered himself
to me as he has no command, and
left everything to the Regent at
Paris. His residence 1 shall appoint
after an interview with him at a
rendezvous to be fixed Immediately.
What course, events, with Gods
guidance, have taken
Rarely on the pages of history do
we find such an astounding event
as told by King William to the
Queen, in the foregoing dispatch.
In surrendering himself prisoner to
his armed foes, in preference to 60
ing back to his subjects, he acknowl-
edges the fact. Almost nineteen
years Napoleon ruled France.
In December, 1851, the Empire
was erected over the bodies and
blood oftens of ofthousands of slaught-
cred Frenchmen, and in September,
1870, falls amid terrible carnage of
human life.
About the middle Of July, France,
through her arrogance and rapacity,
declared war against Prussia. To-
ward the close of July, she set out,
with her armies, intending to over
run Germany, enter the Prussian
capital and annex the Rhine Prov
inces.
Seven short weeks have passed,
during which the Germans have
overrun France, destroyed it's best
armies. and demolished its empire.
Well may King William exclaim
reverently: "What course, events,
with Gods guidance, have taken"

Mr.. MONROE SERENADED.

The citizens of Oberlin expressed
their qualification in the choice of
Mr.. Monroe as the candidate for
Congress in the 14th District by
serenading him on the evening of
the 26th ult. Previous arrangements
had been made during the absence
of Mr.. Monroe. At about ten
O'Clock large crowd, headed by the

Several hundred people were soon
congregated in and around his

prolonged and hearty cheers, and in
a few brief remarks, greeted those
who had disturbed his rest.

METHODIST CONFERENCE AT ASH
| LAND.
ASHLAND, Aug. 8,

| ASHLAND, AuS. ol.
The North Ohio Annual Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, met in our town to-day.
The venerable Bishop Morris, SEN
ior Bishop of the church, being pres
ent, but Bishop Scott presiding.
There are about one hundred and
twenty-five members of this Confer
ence, but only about eighty-five an
swered to their names. Only a few
present are aged men; enough,
however, to give wise counsels to
the deliberations of the body. The
general appearance of the body is
youthful and superior in cast. No
master spirits, in particular, lead the
business of the Conference, but ev-
cry one appears ready in his place.
They appear to be well skilled in
parliamentary rules.
A goodly number of visitors are
present and giving close attention
to the business. Prof. F. S. Hoyt
was elected Secretary, and a number
of others assistants.
The regular minute business was
entered upon and progressed rapidly
till the adjournment.
DR.. Kynett, secretary of the
Church Extension Society addressed
the Conference on the interests of
his cause. He gave us a vivid de-
scription Of the workings of this So
ciety on our Western borders.
When speaking of the pioneer life of
our fathers in Ohio, he said that
some here were acquainted with
their sufferings. Bishop Morris
spoke out, "That is so.'' $50" said
he "are some enduring now in the
West"

OUR GERMAN CITIZENS,

There has been much enthusiasm
and rejoicing among the Germans Of
this place over the good news from
the Prussian army. Wennderstand
they had glorious time the Other
night. Those whose sympathies
are with France, felt about as blue as
did the rebel sympathizer during
our late war, when the glad tidings
of a Union victory was received
Let our Prussian friends remember
as they go to the polls this fall
which of the two political parties
are in sympathy with them in this
war and then vote accordingly.

Geo. w. Morgan.

Gen. Geo. Morgan made the open
ing campaign speech for the Demo
Gratis, at Delaware, Wednesday night,
18th inst. This is fair sample of
his argument. He charged that 341
revenue officers have proved defaul-
ters. But he did not have the fair
ness or the honesty to tell the whole
truth, that nearly all of them were
appointees Of his Democratic friend
Andy johnson. Will he for any
other Democrat) dwell on the de-
faulters under Grants Republican
Administration? Dare they 90 in
here.-Marfetta Register.

THE N. Y. ELECTION FRAUDS.

The Census returns are verifying
the charges of election frauds made
against the Democracy of that city.
Some Of the wards cast more Demo
cratic votes than there are residents
in the wards, counting men, women
and children! The 9th, 18th, 18th
21st, 10th 1st, and 18th wards last
May, cast a vote of 46,615, while the
census shows they have population
of only 22,6l5. 1t was in those wards
where the heavy Democratic MAORI
ties were piled up.

PARIS, September 3.
An interview has taken place be-
tween Napoleon and the King OF
Prussia, for the purpose of deciding
upon the future residence of the
Emperor. One of the German for
tresses was fixed upon, probably
Mayence.
There is so much confusion in the
city, and such immense crowds
about the Corps Legislatif, that it is
impossible at present to get a faith
full account of the business transac-
ted by the deputies.
Place de la Concorde is one mass
of human beings.
4:3O P. NAT the departure of
the deputies from the Corps Legis-
latif, scenes of enthusiasm took
place around the building, the Ma
tional Guard fraternizing with the
troops and people. Thousands of
guards rushed into the hall, but
were persuaded to retire by NJ. Gam
beta, who seems to have great in
fuence over the people. The crowds
outside are singing the Marseillaise
and Vive Republic. There is in
tense excitement and a constant
noise of voices that browns all other
sounds. There were no dangerous
elements visible until the crowd
reached the Rue Castiglion, when
they began tearing down the Impe-
rial arms and tearing from the flags
of the National Guard the golden
eagles of France and from the walls
and signs and medals bearing the
Imperial effigy. Soldiers have also
joined in these demonstrations. The
National Guard have beat to arms
to repress disorder if it takes more
serious turn. Quiet citizens are be-
coming impressed with the idea that
there may be damages, as the mob is
becoming more and more excited.
1t is now reported, and on good
authority, that after the vote of De-
chance the majority retired, and the
members of the Gauche and Center
Gauche remained consulting on a
provisional government, and named
the following persons: Jules Favre,
Gambetta, jules Simon, Keratry,
Picard, Pettian and Jules Fovry.
LONDON, September 8.
Verdun and Montmedy still hold
out against the Prussians. The
bombardment of Straussburg con-
tinues vigorously. Much damage
has been inflicted. The splendid
cathedral has been partially burned
and the wonderful astronomical
clock and chime of bells in the
tower are badly injured. There is
a freshet in the Rhine, the water is
very high and many dwellings in the
neighborhood of Strassburg have
been washed away.

hundred thousand armed citizens are

IMM1aRAT1oN.- Referring to DR.. Tur-
nipseed's views on this subject, the
Charleston Nescs says:
"This plan deserves consideration, es-
pecially by the State Institute and the
State Agricultural and Mechanical Soci-
ETY.. 1t is plain and apparently practi-
cable. We confess that the scheme of
the Ph9nir correspondent is not com
plete in every respect. There are matters
connected with the accommodation of
Immigrant land-buyers which are not
discussed. 1t is, however, something to
begin with; something towards n mature
and practical scheme for the encourage
ment of European immigration. From
the State Government we expect no as
sistance. The work must be done by the
farmers and merchants of the State.
Upon them the whole burden will fall,
and they will reap the benefit. After
the redemption of the State from COR
rupt and proAigato rule, the work of i'm
migration is the most important task

RIchMoND, March 18-This afternoon,
Gen. Candy interfered in the municipal
troubles by sending guard of soldiers
and raising the siege at the lower station
house and giving free egress and ingress
to all having business there. This action,
he says, has no reference to the ques-
tion of the mayoralty, but is taken pure
ly as precaution against any acts of
disorder or violence, and is applauded
by the friends of Cahoon, but was pro-
tested against by Ellyson as an unwar-
rantable interference with the civil law
of the State. When the military took
possession of the station house, Mayor
Ellyson's police left. and, being rocked
by the crowd of colored men, charged
them. About fifty shots were fired. and
two or three colored men wounded. AT
fairs have since quieted down. To-nor-
row, both Mayors will have police free
on the streets, and hold independent
courts. Trouble is apprehended. The
Council is in session tonight, consider
ing what is to be done.
The City Council, tonight, passedap
ordinance abolishing the station houtes
now in the hands of Cahoon's poliie,
and authorizing Mayor Ellyson to oll
out the fire brigades as police. pledgi,g
the city to pay all special police sworn In
by Ellyson; authorizing the City Cortt
to be held in the City Hall. and ple9.
ing Mayor Ellyson the earnest support
of the Council in his efforts to maintah

day have been one man killed and thrd
wounded. Cahoon had his headquarters
Mt the lower station house, where tn
