Mt. PLEASANT, O., Aug. 25

The colored Citizens of Mt. Pleasant
and Vicinity held Union Sabbath
School picnic in Mr.. David Updegraph's
Grove, on Thursday last. Addresses
were delivered by VIM. R. Clark, Esq,
John C. Wyett, A. w. Skinner. James
Fletcher, ]. L. Chany, Rev. Henderson
and DIR. telegraph. Everything passed
off pleasantly.
The following is an abstract of Mr..
Clark the Chairman's Introductory re.
marks:
Friends and FeIo,0 Citizens:
do not rise before you to attempt te
make speech; the position to which
YOU have called me forbids this. Thai
duty belongs to the gentlemen around
me, who are better prepared for dis
charging the duty than l. will make
only few remarks by way of introduc
ton.
Without the pomp and display by
which great and memorable deeds are
usually celebrated, we have turned
aside from the busy scenes of life and
have ventured to spend a few hours o
social recreation in the capacity of 8
Union Sabbath School picnic. Our hu
manity and our religion meet here OIL
common grounds, and such is the i'm
portance Of the union that we can truly
say, that all that is eminent in virtue
all that is exalted in piety-all that il
noble in philanthropy and disinterestec
in patriotism-all that will bear like the
unbleaching marble, the searching
judgments ofafter ages should be earnesG
ly and vividly set forth in the Sabbath
School. We have assembled to-day, fol
the purpose of hearing what may bt
said of The origin, moral and religion:
virtues connected with it. will close
with the wish that God may bless you
and assist the speakers who will now
address you. thank you for your at
| tention. l am done.

Dedication OF the Odd Fellows Hall.

The Captina Lodge of Odd Fellows
met at their Hall at Amrstrong's Mills to
day. After organizing their procession,
moved to a beautiful grove near by
where preparations had been made to
accommodate the large concourse ofpeo-
pie with seats, while listening to the adj
dress, prepared for the occasion. There
were about seventy-five members of the
Order in procession, about thirty oi
whom belonged to Bealesville Lodge
The Captina lodge now numbers forty
five. It was organized only ona year
since. They row have as fine Hall as
can be found in the county.
The procession was led by the Rock
Hill Brass Band, which discoursed
sweet music until the audience was COM
fortably seated.
DIR. Jeffries introduced Rev. /. A.
Pearce of Barnesville, who entertained
the large audience, with fine speech,
eloquently delivered. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that many persons returned to their
homes with faf more charity for secret
societies, than they entertained hereto
fore. Throughout his address he made
all things bend to Christianity. Never
before did we hear a more grand appeal
in behalf of human Philanthropy.
After the close of the address. the
Lodge returned to finish up business,
and the people returned to their homes,
much pleased with the entertainment.
We did not succeed in getting u copy
of the address for publication.

confidential circular issued by the Demo
er.cy of the Ninth District, urging the
nomination of E. F. Dickinson.
ssHe will be the strongest candidate
because, being member of the Roman
Catholic Church, he will thereby COM
maud an influence no other candidate

Hon Samuel Shellabarger has been
nominated by the Republicans of the
Seventh District for Congress, He is an
able man, and his nomination will be
received with pleasure. He will be
elected.
The Republicans of the Eighth Con-
gressional District of Ohio, have acted
wisely in renominating General John
Beatty, of Darlington. for the place he
has occupied with honor to himself and
his constituents.
Prof. James Monroe was nominated
for Congress in the 14th District at West
Salem yesterday. Noone need despair
of the Republic when such men as Mon
roe obtain recognition from the people.
Here is another striking proof of the
tendency of the times towards selecting
superior men for Office. With Garfield,
Shella@arger, Schenck, Bingham and
Monroe in Congress the Ohio delegation
will be stronger than it has ever yet
been. 1t has for many years been con-
ceded 10 be the ablest State delegation
in Congress.
The Democracy of Maine have nomi-
mated General Charles w. Roberts, of
Bangor, for Governor. Their platform
asserts the falsehood that the Admins
tration has not redeemed it pledges of
retrenchmeni. This was piece OF
|stupendous folly as we'll as iApudence,
for it is well known that the eXpendi
lures of the Government have been so
materially diminished that, by this means
together with a more faithful collection
OF the revenue, the national debt has
been reduced Sl50, 100000 and taxation
and the tariff cut down $50, 900, 900 a
year.
The population of Ohio is at least five
times as great as that of Connecticut,
but the number of divorces granted last
year in the former States was but l.003
while in the latter it amounted to 49l.
To every twenty-four marriages in Ohio
there was one divorce; in Connecticut,
one to every nine and seven tenths. II
is clear that the West has no monopoly
of immortality In both the States nam
ed the increase of the riot of divorce is
worthy of attention. In 1866, in Ohio,
the proportion was one to twenty-siX; in
1865, in Connecticut, one to eleven of the
marriages Gazette.
Paraguay is said to be now really
nothing but a Brazilian province. 1t is
said to be the most perfect country, by
nature, in tue world, and if rightly
governed would doubtless soon swarm
with immigrants.

this District, the triumph of the Repub'

We have received an announcement
for Temperance meeting, or Conven-
ton at st. Clairsville, on Saturday,
Sept. 10th. We certainly are at loss
to understand the policy of this move
ment SO late in the day. No hoe is
entertained of success, and since the
Tempefance party cannot succeed this
Fall, the members of the party are doing
what they, personally, would most re-
gret to see done-rendering proba, lie the
defeat of the Republican partyJeThe
Temperance men ofthis place would will
lIngly join in to secure the aims and OBJ
jects of the party, but while such action
can only bring injury to the party to
which a majority of the Temperance
men belong, we cannot approve it.
The Administration's Financial Reputa-
ttOn.
Ifthere be one thing which should IL
duce the people to look with favor upon
the present administration it is the
manner in which the financial depart
ment has been controlled. When we
compare it with the lavish expenditures
of the Johnson regime, the figures stand
as monumentsof economy. The decrease
of expenditures of 1870 over 1869, was
thirty-nine millions, while the increase
ofjrevenue in the same time was over
forty millions. The amount in favor of
the first entire year of Grants admins
tration over the preceding one is s79,-
552, s56O4. What do we claim as result
ing from this? Not allowing this ac-
