OBITUARY..
Jasto Jose de Urauiza.

Just0 Jose de UrduiZa.
cable telegram from Lisbon announces the as
sassnatlon Of Justo Jose de Urquiza, the exPresi-
dent OF the Argentine Confederation He was born
about the year 1S00 In the State OF Entire Rios and
was Of mixed Spanish and Indian blood. During
the war in La Plata he sided with the party OF Rosas,
and was promoted to the rank OF general OF di-
vision. lie was placed in command of the Argen-
tine army which Rosas sent against Uruguay in
1910 to revenge the expulsion OF his friend
Oribe by Riveru7. Urquiza achieved complete
victory over Riveros In the battle OF India Muerte
on the 2sth OF March, 1s45 and for this and other
important military services was rewarded with the
governorship of Entire Rios. In 1851 Rosas pre-
tended to lay down the supreme power and Urquza
Immediately advanced his claims to succeed him.
Rosas however resisted his pretensions, aud civil
war ensued in which Urquiza obtained the assist
ance of Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil and crossed
the Parana in January 1852, with an army Of 10000
men. The Argentine army was routed on the Sd Of
February at Monte Caseros, and Urquiza pro-
claimed himself Provisional Dictator of the Argen-
tine republic. new Congress was called by him to
settle the affairs OF the country in definite manner
but before it met disturbances occurred in Buenos
Ayres which demanded his attention, and he CON-
menced to besege the city Of Buenos Ayres. The
defense was conducted with great vigor, however,
and UrquiZa was finally compelled to retire.
In March, 1854, he was elected President of the
Argentine Confederation for six years. and he COM
menced his administration by instituting numerous
reforms and by re-establishing commerce and navi-
cation. The rivers Parana, Paraguay, and Plata he
declared free to foreign powers, and in many other
ways endeavOred to advance the interests OF civlli
cation and enlightenment. In 1859 he medated
between the United States and the republic OF Para
quay the occasion OF the La Plata naval expedl-
tion and about the close of the same year he sue
ceeded in bringing Buenos Ayres back Ito the con-
federation. In 1860 he was succeeded In the
Presidency by DR.. Santiago Derqui, under whom he
was appointed honorary commander OF the army
and navy. Since then he has taken little part In
public affairs.

ANOTHER NEW STATE.

IT is stated that the House Committee on
Territories will soon report an enabling act
preparatory to the admission of New Mexico.
Heretofore majority of her inhabitants have
been decidedly averse or profoundly indiffer-
ent to the change which is so eagerly desired
by more progressive sections Aside from
the Indians, the bulk of the population is
made up of Mexicans, who are slow in learn
ing the language and the social and political
customs which pervade other portions of the
United States. But they are now said to be
animated by a disposition to strengthen
the bonds by which they are
connected with the Union, and as
there has been steady although rather slow
infusion of the American element among
them during the last twenty years, they are
waking up to an appreciation of the advan-
tsges of full-hedged citizenship. Their right
to enjoy the elective franchise was secured
by the treaty with Mexico long before the
adoption of the fifteenth amendment, despite
their swarthy complexion, and their capacity
to exercise it intelligently has been materially
improved by a severe training in exciting
Territorial elections. Heretofore the New
Mexicans, content with their deprivation of
votes in the Electoral College and with a
lack of representation in the United States
Senate, have been scarcely deemed worthy of
bid from the most industrious of Presidential
aspirants, but now that they propose to claim
all the honors and powers of their political
inheritance, they will be looked after, more
especially as their thorough incorporation
ihto the body polite may be followed, at no
distant period, by the annexation of a few
millions, more or less, of their old compa-
triots who are still revelling in the staple
Mexican delight of incessant revolutions. Up
to this time New Mexico has proved COM
paratively useless as we'll as an expensive
acquisition, on account of the continuous
troubles with the Indians and the prevailing
lack of enterprise and industry, but the an
nouneement of the discovery of rich mineral
deposits promises to affect decided change.
AS State let us hope that she will do better,
and that after she fairly gets out of her old
Aztec ruts she will prove worthy member of
the American sisterhood.

THE WOMAN'S RIGHTS QUESTION.
ir,l,, Of

THE WOMANS RIGHTS QUESTION.
New illustrations of the inhumanity of man
to woman, which ''makes countless millions
mourn. are still furnished. The most touch
ing case recently reported appertains to the
cruel selfshness of the Kanaks, a tribe of
barbarians who deserve the severest denun-
ciatiens of gentle Annie. Revelling in the
delights of cannibalism themselves, vera
cious correspondent of the London NeOs
affirms that they wickedly refuse to permit
their wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters
to partake Of these luxurious repasts, and he
instances late banquet at which cooked
French soldier formed the piece de resistance,
as an irresistible proof of their selfish lnJus-
tice. This atrocious action of the Kanaks
should receive the instant attention of the
missionary branch of the Woman Rightists
Association. Whether the barbarians learn
now or never to forego cannibalism is mat
ter of subordinate Importance, but their
denial to womankind of an equal share of
their dainties is too heinous an offense to be
tolerated in this enlightened age.
The British House of Commons, too, has
been behaving badly, and it deserves good
sound lecture. After raising bright hopes
that merry England was about to grant the
ballot to her old maids and lone widows, and
after passing to a second reading by large
majority and great cheering an enactment
which bestowed these privileges, the House
cruelty resolved, on the 18th instant, by a
still larger majority, and still louder cheering,
to postpone the consideration of this bill for
six months, thus virtually killing it. This
- -
bilities of the fair sex deserves the severest
rebuke that the Revolution can give. We
know that this is saying good deal, but not
more than the offense warrants, for we can
not imagine how the trucking, time-serving,
changeable, inconsistent, and tyrannical
NJ p. 8 will ever dare to look into the resolute
face of determined woman rightist after
the perpetration of this last deed of treachery.
The only possible consolation or offset to
these outrages which has been recently fur
nished is an English decision to the effect
that if women can not be men in outward
appearance and action, never can men don
the attire and assume the attitudes of woman
kind without incurring legal punishment
Two young Englishmen, one of whom ranked
as a gentleman and the other as law stu
dent, have recently been arraying themselves
in all the glory of flaxen wigs, plated CHG
mons, crimson silks, iaoo shawl,, Pani0rs, aud
bracelets; but despite their protests that this
disguise was assumed only as "a lark, and
the absence of evidence that any serious
offense had been committed, they were re-
manded to prison, bail being refused. So,
in the absence of other comfort the English
woman rightists may console themselves for
the moment by this stern denial to mankind
of the privilege of invading their sphere.

financial legislation by passing by some
twenty majority a bill to increase the
National Bank circulation ninety-fve
millions of dollars, and to cancel the
three per cent. certificates now held
by the banks to the extent of forty-fve
millions of dollars as their legal tend
er reserve. The clause which provid-
ed ior the contraction oil forty millions
of legal tender notes was stricken out,
which makes the bill one OF initiation,
increasing the volume of currency fl
ty millions of dollars. The first Sec
ton of this provides that ninety-five
milliens of bank notes may be issued
to National Banking Associations in
addition to three hundred millions of
dollars authorized. by law. This ex
cess is to be isseud to banks now organ
lied or to be organized under the ap-
portionment contemplate by the act
of 1855 IF application for this circu-
lation shall not be made within one
year after this act is a law by banks
having less than their proportion of
circulation, it shall be lawful for the
Comptroller to issue such circulation
to banking associations i'll other States
not in excess who may apply for the
same, giving the preference to such
as have the greatest deficiency. 1t is
lied shall have a circulation in excess
of 100000. The second section
provides for the cancellation OF as
many dollars of three per cent. certi-
icItes as Their are new note issued each
month ut which time the interest on
the certificates shall cease, and they
shall no longer be used fof the rese we
funds. The third section provides
that there may be issued notes to banks
in States and Territories having less
than their proportion of cir dation. to
be withdraw from banks having an
excess authorized by the act of 1865,
but the amount so withdrawn shall
not exreed five millions of dollan.
The Comptroller is to make out a
statement, showing this excess and
order a requisition Tor it, commencing
with The banks having a circulation
exceeding n million. and then
proceeding pro rata with banks having
a circulation exceeding three hundred
thousand dollars, and so ON till the
amount is Withdrawn. If the banks
don't hand over this excess provision
is made to sell an equal amount of

The New Railroad.

Public expectation has again been
aroused in regard to the construction
of the new railroad from Baltimore
to Chicago. 1t is now definitely un-
derstood that if Ashland county will
raise one hundred thousand dollars of
stock and secure the right Of way, We
can have the road. Assurances have
been given, that the amount of stock
can and will be raised without delay.
At the recent meeting at the Town
Hall, persons were named to act as a
committee to secure the requisite sum,
and we believe have entered zealously
.4Hppeea the duties assigned than We
feel quite certain that if the people on
the line of the road, who are most in
terested iu the construction of the
road, will respond literally, there will
be no difficulty in securing the stock.
Let it be understood that it will bene-
fit every owner of real estate within
two miles of the track from ten to
twenty dollars per acre, in the inhan-
-ced value of land, and that it is the
duty of such real estate owners to aid
promptly in the matter, and if SO, the
ball will be put in motion at once.
If Ashland county fails to get this
road, it may be a long time before an
other such opportunity will be pre-
sented to give this county new life and
increased prosperity: The fact is, ev-
cry real estate owner, as well as. every
owner of property should step forward
without hesitation, and aid in the en-
terprise, unless Indebtedness, or other
binding obligations prevent. The times
are hard. but if we fail to get this road
they will pinch more p~ersistantlY.

The New Apportionment.


If the new apportionment, how PEN
ding in Congress, becomes a law the
number of members in the lower House
will be three hundred, The Senate
will have one hundred and thirty-three
members, estimating the aggregate
population of the United States at 40,
OO0, 900, for the present census. 1t is
probable that Ohio will have a popu-
lation of over three millions, and by
the ratio for the balance of the States,
it will entitle her to % representa-
tives, which will be a gain of three
over the present number. Our cleo
toral vote will then be twenty four
one for each member, and one for
each Senator. By such an apportion-
ment the total electoral vote, for the
United States, will be three hundred
and seventy-six. In the electoral col
lege, therefore it will require one hun
dred and eighty-nine to make a choice
for President. r-
Will we ever have an other consti-
tutional President? Time, the great
unerring prophet will tell.

On Monday morning, a very peculiar
surgical operation was performed in
the drug store of DIR. Sc. Rowels,
in Bridgeport. Ohio. A man came
into the house who had been suffering
for eight years with a bealing at the
root of his tongue. He applied to
Drs. Todd. and Rowels, for relief, as
his long suffering from the painful ul-
Ger occasioned by apistol shot in 1862
| which penetrated his cheek, was such
as to make him favorable to any ope,
ration for relief. DR.. Todd probed
the ulcer with. an instrument coming
in contact with a hard substance

standing near the Fostoria road, one
mile west of this city. 1t is an Elm
tree and has two bodies, each of
which have taken firm root about four
feet apart Each body is about
eighteen inches in diameter, and ex-
tends up nearly ten feet where both
join, forming a main body the same
number of inches in diameter--eigh-
teen. Where the two join there is
no seam in the bark, it presenting the
same appearance that it does else
where on the tree. One of the bodies
or legs to the tree, is perfectly straight,
only slightly .incllning towards its
mate, while the other is slightly bent
at the knee, or centre, somewhat like
the position of the leg of a fazhiona-
blesyoung man, when he stands on
one leg and gracefully bends the other
to give him a. appearance of standing
at his ease. The tree is quite a curl
