Crime and Iutemperance in
the State of Ohio.

Thirty Per cent. of all crimes In
this State are Immediately due 10
intemperance. In 1867, out of 433
convictions for crimes of violence,
2e7 were committed under the in
fuerce of liquor. So says Hon. =.
d. Mansfield, one Of the ablest stats
isticIahs we have. The per ceEJage
of crimes, net appearing in judicial
returns, is not given. If 1T were
possible to get a full and fair COM
putation, we would undoubtedly
find rs per cent. of all the crimes,
outrages, and disorders of our State
to be traceable to intemperance and
the drunkard makers traffic. Who
foot the bills?1TTemp. Times.
REAmong the jeuT d esprit to

A SENSIBLE VIlEw.-Boston sentiment
whether political, social or theologic, rarely
commends itself to ou. approval. Bat the fol-
lowing remarks Of the Boston Advertiser, a
thoroughly Republican journal, contains sound
sense; and while they appeal peculiarly to one
class of Southern voters, they are of general
interest to the country: =.
Furthermore, we hope that the vote of the
blacks will consolidated in favor of no party
and of no section. There is great danger to the
republic from this massing of votes on the line
of nationality. We hear too much Of the Irish
vote, the German vote, and now We are to have
the negro vote In the case of some of the peo.
ple which seek our shoses there is unfortunately
too much truth in the expression. We protest
in advance against extending the mischievous
classification to the enfranchised blacks, 1t
ought to be understood that voters cast their
ballots not as Irishman, or German, or French
men, or negroes, but as Americans. Suffrage is
not conferred in virtue of birthright but in vir-
tue of citizenship. We earnestly hope that
each negro will vote according to his individ-
ual convictions, and not according to the de-
mands of race or section. ~

HANGING A MAN FOR CoMFohT.-The Aus'
tin (Texas) Journal relates the following: In
1887 or 1888 the county f. had just been
organized, and the frst District Court was held
in q small room that had been used for q gro
Gerry. 1t was the fall term, severe Norther
was blowing, and there was no fireplace or
stove in the room. A desperate Was bn trial
for one out of many murders he had commit
ted, and the Judge and jury were impatient to
end the case. The county was sparsely settled,
and consequently 700 poor to make adequate
arrangements for the comfort Of prisoners 80;
when the jury brought in the verdict of guilty,
the Judge, in pronouncing sentence upon the
culprit, said "Bob Jones, you have had fair
trial; you have been found guilty, and the court
adjudge that you be hanged by the neck until
you be dead but as the county Is just organic
ed, and affords no convenience to lodge o pris-
oner with any degree of comfort-there being
no suitable building nor bedding, not even
blankets, the court do hereby, in consideration
of his personal comfort, order that the prisoner
be taken to the nearest tree and there hanged
until he be dead, and may the Lord have mercy
on his SOUL" The Sheriff then borrowed la
riat from bystander, put it over the culprits
neck, and led him out to tree few feet. from
the court house, threw 1t over limb, and sus-
pended the prisoner till life was extinct

A VOICE OF WARN1Ne-Thesey Seymour, Ind,
Times (Radical) says: We would respectfully
suggest to the leaders of the Republican party
that they are crowding the "colored person" a
little too fast for his own good. Negro suffrage
is bitter pill for at least one-half of the men
who have hitherto voted the Republican ticket.
Hence time should have been given them be-
fore another and worse dose was exhibited.
This crowding of the negroes into office while
there are whites quite as deserving and as well
qualified won't win in the long run. 1t WILL
reduce the negro to worse condition than he
occupied in state of slavery, if that were
possible. 1t will sooner or later lead to his
determination. Politicians and fanatical idiots
who cannot read the signs Of the times may
elevate the negro to the United States Senate
and to the platform of conventions but they
can't find Endorsement at the polls for such dis
gusting conduct, and they will find it out when
too late.
1t is possible that both parties will strive for
the negro vote. We predict that this foolish
policy of elevating negroes to office and OF
catering to them for their votes, will result in
the formation of what will be termed "The
White Mans Party" which will be strong
enough to carry the next Presidential election,
if wisdom in the selection of candidates is OBJ
served, and there is not too much rebel Democ-
racy mixed up with it. Such a movement is
imminent, and if made will break up the Re-
publican party, which would be deplorable
event for the country. Let us secure the negro
in his right to the ballot, but for the salvation
of our party-for the welfare of our country
for the good of the negro-let us dissuade him
from seeking or accepting office.

ALI the interest upon the entire mortgage
and guaranteed debt that has been presented
has been funded up to the 1st July, 1868, and
from that to the present time paid in cash.
The suit in the Court of Equity for the FORE
closure of the mortgage bonds, commenced in
1867, by certain holders of the first mortgage
bonds, as we'll as all suits growing out of it,
were dismissed by the Court last summer, on
motion of the complainants, and the whole
matter satisfactorily adjusted.
There were also two suits at law commenced
against the Company, brought on non-mortgage
bonds past due. One of the parties has dis
continued the suit, and surrendered the bonds,
and exchanged them for State guaranteed
bonds, at one for three; and the other has ex-
pressed desire to do so, and presume will, in
a few days. Then there will be no suit, either
in equity or at law, against the Company on
bond account.
1t must be gratifying to both bond and stock
holders to know, that in consequence of the
increased business and consequent prosperity of
the road, the prompt payment of interest, as it
natures, and the confidence felt by capitalists
and the community, that the Company will be
able to satisfactorily arrange the small balance
of their past due bonded debt, that the market
value of their bonds has advanced within the
last two years at least three hundred per cent,
and that they now command nearly as high a
price as the first class securities in the State.
This result has no doubt been fastened by
the prospect of the various connections soon to
be made from the upper end of the line, some
of which are now being built, and others soon
to be commenced.
When completed, the Greenville and Column
bia Railroad must and will form the trunk line

1viting commercial intercourse with its people.

authorizing the further endorsement of certif-
Gates of Indebtedness to the amount OF 0,000,
to fund interest due on mortgage and guaran-
teed debt to July, 1868.
It will be perceived from this statement, that
the whole amount of endorsement authorized
by the several Acts of the Legislature is ST.
$4,000. The Acts of 1866 and 1869, are amen
datory of the Act of 1861, and each contain
statutory mortgage to the State of all the prop
erty and assets of the Company as security for
the guarantee, which, when all the bonds under
the first mortgage are retired, and the mortgage
cancelled, become the first mortgage upon all
their property and assets.
In 1867, the Company executed second
mortgage for 81, 500, 900, and the bonds to be
issued under it were also to be offered to the
holders of the past due non-mortgage bonds at
par, and the holder allowed to choose between
them and State guaranteed bonds at one for
three. This became necessary because some of
the holders refused to accept the terms offered:
of exchanging for the guaranteed bonds Bonds
under the second mortgage were also offered to
other than bond creditors of the Company, In
settlement of their claims.
1t will, however, be perceived from the fol-
lowing statements, that only SD, ,063.6S have
been issued under it, for all purposes
The following statement will show the ex-
changes and funding under the several Acts of
the Legislature alluded to, up to March 31st
