The outrage concocted and
officially approved by Attorn,
.ey General West, to foist upon
the Ohio Legislature q bogus
member from Williams county,
was perpetrated on Monday
last, when the House Of Rep
resentatives was organized
BY the apportionment made un'
der the law, Williams county
is attached to the district COM
posed of the counties Of Will
liams, Defiance and Paulding.
That district in the present
General Assembly is entitled to
but one representative in the
House. Schuyler e. Blakeslee,
presented himself holding q
certificate Of election from the
clerk Of Williams county, and
in order to gain a Radical
member, Sherwood, the Secre.
tary of State, Fin violation Of
the constitution and laws he
had sworn to support, and act
ing as the witless tool Of des-
perate and designing demagog-
ues, had him sworn in. Blak-
eslee represents no Legislative
district known to the law, and
is clearly not entitled to a seat.
West and Sherwood well know
it. 1t is but another of the
revolutionary attempts to force
the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment. States are coer.
ced for that purpose and the
popular voice of Ohio is to be
silenced and controlled by force
and fraud. The House should
send BlakesIce to his home in
the Northwest.

IlNl.IlaS2

Our Washington corresponds
ent states that Georgia will
succumb to the atrocious out
rage which has been perpe,
trated upon her by Congress,
and will apparently give her
consent to the conditions i'm
posed.
While we would not assume
to cmticise our friends in that
State, we can say with truth
that public sentiment among
the friends of the Constitution
in the North counse]s them to
maintain a passive submission,
but to do nothing Of a positive
character that would commit
them to this revolutionary viol-
ence. If the ratification Of the
Fifteenth Amendment is re-
quired, let it be done by ne
groes and carpet-baggers alone;
the people should have no hand
in it. An active compliance
with the conditions will not
propitiate, as some may weakly
imagine, the Jacobin dynasty.
The more that is yielded the
more will be required. One
demand is the basis of another,
just as their partisan necessities
may seem to require. What is
really necessary is the exercise
Of a little patience and endur,
ance by the prosecuted South.
This state of things can not
exist long, and will soon, we
trust, be swept away; butt
can not be FASTENED by any
ablution in the pool of humilia,
ton and political disgrace.

The Weather IN EqtT )pe.


Cable telegrams from Euro @
90 to show that our friends in
many parts of the Old World
have not been favored with
such fine weather rs that which
ushered in the New Years
morning to ourselves. The dis
patches announce that tie
closing hours Of 1869 were
marked by the prevalence If
fearful and disastrously fatal
gales and snow storms. A
tremendous Igale swept over
the city of Limerick, Ireland,
causing much damage to pro-
perty and the loss of ten lives.
The British coast experienced
a similar visitation. A bark
bound from Montreal for
Greenock was driven ashore on
the coast of Ireland, the cap
tain and seven of the crew
being drowned, Severe wealth
er prevailed at Hamburg, the
Ellie was locked with ice and
navigation above the city sus-
pended. The French and Eng
lish mails failed to'reach Mad
rid, Spain, during four days, as
the roads in the country were
completely impeded with snow
These advices will bring nm
easiness to many a happy family
circle in this country and many
q bright eye will be dimmed
and many a foud heart humbl-
ed, awaiting further advices
from the countries referred to.
We are sorry for all those, but
must ever remember that in the
chastisemcnts of the Lord are
mostly found His greatest
and most tender mercy to man.

a short time ago his body was

u6 duIHlIlSGIdIlOl oupl'Ol
ters are pointing to the month
ly reduction of the national
debt since Grants election, and
growing over the apparent pro
gress of the country out of the
mirey bogs of financial embar-
rassment their ten years rule
has drifted the people into; but
no allusion is ever made to any
proposed reduction of taxes. =
On the contrary, taxation is to
be kept up. If, as the jour
nails which support Grantclaim,
the national pecuniary obliga-
tions are being lessened at the
rate of $4,000, 600 per month,
why do not the economists (D
Of the party advocate that pro-
portionate reduction Of taxa
ton? Again there is another
view to be taken Of this boast
ed reduction. While the huge
bulk of this financial calamity
has been apparently lessened
ithas really increased. While
the great debt drew currency
interest, it was less a load upon
the people by just the differ
ence between currency and
gold, than it is now. Grants
eight months administration
has increased the debt by the
exchange of currcncy-paying
bonds for gold.paying bonds,
which has been going on grad
ually, till now there are u few
or none of the currency-paying
bonds out If any taxpayer
will look at the difference be-
tween the gold dollar and the
paper dollar, at this moment
about "a cents, he will easily
understand that the debt has
been increased by making its
interest gold-paying, a vast deal
more than it has been reduced
in bulk by the 100000
paid in the present year. If
we pay gold interest instead f
paper on the $2,5O0,O0O we
now owe, it virtually increases
the debt to the extent of the
difference between gold and
paper; bringing it at least to
the sum of $3,O0O,0OO, to-
day. This is the relief to the
country which the administra-
tion journals are now boasting
over,

A Washington dispatch
says that Grant "thinks the
Tenure-of- Office law is an out
rage upon the Constitution"
The dispatch bears the evidence
of being a lie upon its very
face, for Grant never uses the
word "Constitution." To him
that word is like Greek, Latin
or Hebrew.

whether to hold on or let go.
