Our Candidates.

q, Contrary to the usual cust,m of the
Democracy of this county, very few
meetings have been held to discuss
the issues which divide the parties.
These meetings heretofore, have been
held for the instruction of the people.
These addresses comprised a brief
summary Of the issues of the times ;
and more information, concerning the
workings of the government could be
obtained in an hour, than in much
reading. IS "
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that the Democracy have never pre-
scented, in this county, a better ticket
than on this occasion. ia i9.'a -
From our candidate for Congress,
down to the minor county offices, each
candidate is competent for the place
for which he is nominated, and of ex-
celleht character and habits.
The people, in selecting our ticket,
eyinced good Judgment. Men of in.
temperate habits, of loose morals, in.
capable of managing their own affairs.
are surely unfit to manage the bust
ness of the county.
Having q ticket in all respects Fl
for the confidence of the people, Ief
the voters now rally to its support
and see that it is triumphantly elect
ed. See your neighbor and be vigil
ant Only the brave win. Ia

A Grave Mistake.

The Ashland Times of last week
says:
EDHring the Administration O.
Senator Van Buren,, nearly all of the
land officers were ~defaulters. WheI
a call was made for Reform, the heac
of that Office said Let them alone-i
you appoint others they will be worse
When Gen. Grant found. defaulters
or inefficient officers he ousted them
and placed others in their stead and
thus saved $40, 000, 600 a year,
A later and more familiar example
is this: On $50, 000, 900 annual ex-
pense the Democratic party ran the
country in debt 500, 600, 900 a year ;
General Grants administration with
say $500, 000, 900 annual expense is
reducing the debt at the rate of about
S150,000,0 900 q year: That is just the
difference. AS to the, increased cost
of Gen. Grants administration over
that of Buchanan, every child in the
country knows that it Is the result OF
the rebellion, which buchanan andt the
Democratic party left as a legacy to
the country"
"The Administration of Senator
Van Buren, 7" The. assertion con-
corning, 'if you appoint others they
will be worse" is an old Wing lie.
The Administration of Mr.. Van Blu
rem, cost exactly thirty millions a
year; or a little over one hundred and
twenty millions in four years. The
administration of General Grant, as
shown by MI. Wells, cost over five
hundred millions in one year! The
actual expenses of his administration,
leaving out any payments on the Ma
tionaIDebt, with occurring interest, is
over one hundred and ninety millions
per annum.
Again, figures that will not lie,
show that the average expense of Nh.
Buchanan's administration per annum
was about sixty-fy millions, instead
of over ninety millions as stated by
the Times. Then whatamotive had
the Editor of the Times in lying
about his expenses?

brought about the war, and are re-
sponsibIe for it and the National Debt

Look at This, White Voters Of
Ohio?

An act was passed by the Republi-
can majority.in Congress at its last
session., and approved by President
Grant, for the alleged object OF en-
forcing the Fifthteenth Amendment.
1t it now the law of the land. ~
It provides that if rny election off
ces, at any election in Ohio or any
other State, shall do anything to hin
der or prevent a negro from voting, OF
ahall neglect to do anything to enable
a negro to vote, he shall be liable to
such negro for damages to the amount
of five hundred dollars, and be i'm
prisoned for one month to d year, OF
be both fined and imprisoned. But if
the aggfieved party bea white, man
there IS no fhe or imprisonment.
) By the same act, it is further pro
,yided that if any person shall pre-
vent, hinder or intimidate a negro
from voting BY bribing or threatening
him, he Shall be fined not less than
five thousand dollars, or be imprison-
ed from a month to a year, or both at
the discretion of the court. But for
threatening or preventing a white
man from voting, there is provided
neither fine nor imprisonment.
This law passed both Houses OF
Congress on the 25th of May last. In
the Senate, John Sherman, and every
other Republican Senator, ~forty-eight
in all, voted it, while "A. G. Thurman
and every other Democratic Senator
voted against it; cth
In the House the bill received the
vote of every Republican OF the Radi,

against it. The following Republic

bill : Lawrence, Moore, Welker and

ENGLISH OPINION on TIE WAR.
London, Sept. 3O.GAt the Cabinet
meeting tod, ~ the whole, subject OF
the European situation came finder
discussion. The meeting wrs fully
attended. MIR, Bruce, home secretary
urged the importance of such action on
the part Of England as should associ-
ate her with Russia in the paciication
of Europe, pointing out the danger of
leaving entirely the initiative of what
he described as an Inevitable interfer-
ence to a power which had much in
terest in depressing and none in en-
larging the influence of Great Britain.
Earl Granville, secretary of foreign
affairs, and Mr. Cardwell, secretary of
war, were not ~indisposed to view, but
represented the impossibility Of action
without recognizing the French Re
public, which they maintained exist
ed only by the irresponsible act of the
galleries of the Legislative body The
Duke of Argyle, secretary for India,
objected that the Republic had been
recognized formally by the United
States government, and than it weuld
be a sort of constructive discourtesy
to the United States to assume that o
government which existed sufficiently
ond with sufficient warrant 10 COM
mand American recognition had no
Sufficient standing in fact to Justify
treating with and through it for SO
great an object as the settlement of
Europe. The Duke of Argyle also
dwelt particularly upon the danger of
abandoning the settlement of such
questions in Europe to Russia, whose
policy iu Asia was of SO much conse-
quence to the present and future of
Great Britain. Mr.. Gladstone inclin-
ed to the sentiment of the majority. of
his colleagues, which is believed to be
the sentiment. also, of Her Majesty,
that no government exists in France
The States and Union. [volume] (Ashland, Ohio) 1868-1872, 1870-10-05

which can be recognized by Great
Britain at this time. The advices of
the British Ministers ut Paris, Lord
Lyons, were indeed very urgent in a
contrary sense, but the urs of the
government could not be absolutely
determined by reference to the view
of any agent, no matter how well en-
. titled to the confidence and respect of
tho government. The final decision
had was that nothing could now be
done, as it was not expedient to rec
ognize the only government with
which any relations could be at pres
emit established in France. This result
has occasioned great excitement
throughout London, and new demon
stratiOns are looked for of a more Sc
rious character than those already
chronicled. At the cabinet meeting
correspondence was laid before the
ministry which has just taken place
between Earl Granville and the
Prussian ambassador. Count Berns-
tori, two weeks ago addressed Earl
Granville a formal complaint against
the continued shipment of arms from
England to France. TO this Gran
vile replied that under the existing
laws of England nothing could be
done to prevent such shipments, which
might be made to one power as well
as another, and that Parliament alone
could change the existing laws. On
Wednesday last Bernstein addressed a
second note to Granville, specially
stating the Prussian embassy has pos
tive evidence of the recent shipment
of four hundred cases of arms from
Birmingham to France. "This," said
Bernstein, sis certainly no neutrality,
as your Excellency's government must
be perfectly aware, in the present
state of affairs on the continent, that
these arms are intended for use in the
field at once against Prussia" To
this note Granville replied by request
ing Bernstein to lay proof Of these
statements before Her Majesty,s gov
eminent Yesterday Bernstein with
out delay, furnished proof in support
of his statements to the British for
eign Office. Granville replied by ac-
knowledgs,ifnng the receipt of the en-
bassador 5 last note. No action was
taken by the council upon the matter
which rests with the foreign office. .EI
