SPEAKING BOLDLY.

Alexander H. Stephens stands
his ground nobly, and speaks ou
like one who feels sure of his back
ing. Having paper of his owl
now he is indepen dent in the mat
ter of giving his views publicity
The Ohio Democratic platform i:
the subject of his latest dissertation
of which the following is specl
men:
We say in advance that we shall
never recognize rs a political friend
or ally, let him hail from any quar-
ter he may, any one who main
tains that the openly confessed
usurpations attending the Recon
struction acts have all been settled
IN the manner and by the authority
constitationaily appointed and
who shall deprecate any arraign-
ment of either of these acts or their
authors before the bar of public
reason for popular condemnation.
All such are no friends of ours
of our cause or the liberties of this
country.

Sudden Death--Chippewa Lake.

Capt. Thomas Coulter, of Seville,
gives us the sad information of the
sudden death of VIM. Shakespeare,
of Medina, and ex-Treasurer of Me
dina county.
1t appears, that Mr.. Shakespeare,
with 4 number of citizens of Me
dina, were ON fishing excursion
and picnic party at Chippewa lake,
on last Wednesday, 2Sth ult. While
in q boat on the lake, engaged in
the enjoyment of fishing, in COM
pany with lady and gentlemen
friends, Mr.. Shakespeare suddenly
exclaimed, "Go back to shore-for
I feel very unwell;" whereupon they
pulled for the bank. But before
reaching it, Mr.. Shakespeare was
stricken with apoplexy; and, in an
insensille condition, was brought
ashore by his frightened friends.
From thence he was carefully taken
home to Medina, under best medical
aid. He died the next morning,
unconscious to the last. The de-
ceased was about fifty years of age,
was most highly esteemed citizen,
and leaves widow and five chill

PLEASE NOTE THIS DOWN.

The editor of the Ashland States

ing wall Of despair: 'The murky
clouds of discomfort begin to black
en- our political Skies" In speak
ing of the adoption of the Republi
can amendments to the Constitu
tion, and which have been accepted
by the Ohio Democracy, he asks
"Will eating dirt be any the sweetel
now that these infamies are endorsed
by Mr.. Vallandigham, and the
lackeys who beloved for him in the
convention?" He says of McCook

not add to the qualifications of s

vinced that McCook had no part OIL

will commend himself to our sup
port" Soldiers, take note of that

AGE OF ACCIDENTS AND MURDE RS.

This can truly be called the age
of murders and accidents. We
can scarcely pick up paper nova
days without seeing one, two or half
a dozen cases of shooting, accident
ly or purposely done. We glance
farther down the columns and we
meet with the account of some ter
rible accident in some other way
a railway smashup, it may be, a
Steamboat explosion, 4 runaway or
a hundred other ways by which life
is sacrificed. Only few days ago a
railroad accident occurred in Tenn.
whereby fifteen lives were lost, and
others jeopardized. Now we are
called upon to record another COLI
sion of trains between Newark and
New York, by which five persons
were killed and twenty wounded.
And by Ocean telegraph, we learn
that a French ship has been totally
wrecked off the coast of Cape of
Good Hope. All on board were
lost. One hundred and fifty bodies
had washed ashore from the
wreck.

HIGH TAXES.

The Philadelphia Age calls the
Republicans who govern that city a
gang of robbers. The same paper
is enthusiastically laudatory of the
Tammany scoundrels who misgov-
ern New York. This "gang of rob-
bers" taxes the citizens of Philadel-
phia at the rate of $1.S0. What,
then, we should like to know, would
be a proper title for the Tammany
scoundrels who tax the citizens of
New York at the rate of 1927? Or
what are we forced to think of the
honesty and consistency of the A ge9
Pitts. Gaz.

SOMEWHAT EXERCISED.

We should judge from the Wayne
County Democrat that the judicial
contest is worked up to pretty
lively point there. We understand
also that a few of our political op-
ponents have become somewhat ex-
ercised over our article in last week s
paper on this important subject.
Certainly they cannot go back on
their Democratic brethren which is
the authority upon which that ar
ticle was based. Mr.. Mcbride, a
delegate to said convention, makes
full explanation, which we may
feel called upon to publish in our
next. -t

MORE ExTRAVAGANCE.

One of the strings upon which
the Democratic party is now trying
to harp is the 'wanton eXtrava
gance" of the present Admlnistra
ton. Here are few items of the
"extravagance" from the official
statement of the Public Debt: De
crease of the Public Debt during
the month of June, 1871, 81, ,103,
349,O9; Decrease from March l,
1869 to 1871, $2O4,754,413,O9; De
crease since March l, 1871, $2S, S,G7S,-
012,02; total decrease of debt since
the beginning the present Admins
tration, $233, B2, ,425,11. These fig
ures give the lie to all their accusa-
tions and stand as living witnesses
to the faithfulness and honesty of
the present Administration.

Be in Earnest.

There is nothing like being in
earnest in every thing we undertake
The half-play sort Of men rarely
make much of show in the world
Thomas Hughes, the noted English
author and statesman, gives the
right views in the spirit in an adj
dress delivered to some English
school-boys after his return from
his late visit to this country. Speak
ing of q visit to one of our New
England schools at their monthly
celebration, he said that at one end
of the room, among other decora-
tions he observed 4 motto of "Age
Quod Agis," which, when transla-
ted, reads "Whatever you do, do
with a WILL" and he took this as a
text for some eXcellentr remarks tell
ing the boys that in this age, the
class of dawdlers, both rich and
poor, gets bigger and bigger every
year, and the question, how david
ling is to be 'combatted and put
down, is more serious. He farther
told them that they must learn early
in life, to play hard and to work
hard. l"Once get into the habit"
he said, "and you will never give it
up; and you will find it sits much
more easily on you than the sloven-
ly, slipshod way of going through
life sits on dawdlers. The scenes
in which most of you have spent
your childhood must have tempted
you to think that many other ways
of getting livelihood are easier
and pleasanter than good, honest,
hearty work. Now is the time to
get the lie out of your heads once
for all. Your turn is soon coming
to follow them out into the great
world, and now is your time to fit
yourselves for doing as well as they
have done, by learning to follow the
precept of the wise man: 'What.
ever thy hand fndeth to do, do it
with thy might"

ANOTHER OF GRANTS FAILURES.

We hear a great deal about the
failures of Grants administration.
The last failure is that noted in
yesterdays Washington Chronicle
by which Boutwell, has succeeded
in converting $7O,OOO,OOO of six pei
cent bonds into fves, thus saving
the country annually 100000. L,
is a little martelous,yet the country
continues to thrive under such finan
cial management, though Democrats
say such management will eventu
ally reduce the Government to bank
ruptcy,

The Catholic RebelIion--The Church
Still Closed Against the Priests.

HUDSON, N. Y, July 9.-The Cath
olic rebellion in this city assumes
no new phase. This morning the
opponents of the priests gathered
around the church to the number OF
three hundred, but they conducted
themselves with order and decorum.
Father O'Sullivan did not make his
appearance, but sent messenger to
request that the church be opened
for the usual service. The assembly
gave him to understand that they
were still firm and unyielding in
their determination not to allow the
Chueh to be opened till their griev-
ances were corrected, and Father
O'Sullivan recalled from the parish.
Mass was celebrated at the Priests
house, but not over thirty persons
were present, mostly women and
children. 2

WELL ORGANIZED.

Upon the best Democratic au.
thority we are informed that the
following committees have been Or
ganized by the managing ring for
the present campaign, which, no
doubt, will do good work for their
cause:
1. Temperance;
2. Church;
g. Nonprofession;
4. Drinking;
5. Compulsory.
The object of these different
committees to is operate among
the different classes of people and
suiting the several candidates to the
persons they have to deal with.
Will the thinking Democrats al
low themselves to be thus trified
with, we think not, we have a more
exalted opinion of. them than has
the ring.
These things are not mere fancies
of our own, but we have it from the
lips of several good Democrats who
are opposed to all rings and the cor
ruption which they breed.

TIMELY.

McCook, although belonging te
the family of Fighting McCooks,'
never pretended TO have any wal
record.-Pldin Dealer.
This confession from the leading
Democratic paper of Northern Ohio,
is timely. The copperhead element
in that party would never brook the
idea of 4 Democratic candidate with
4 war record, and it was necessary
for the Ptain Dealer to disabuse its
mind of any supposition of this
kind at once. He is now safely in
the bosom of his party.

SENSIBLE CONCLUSION.

A prominent Democrat in this
county says if the ''new departure"
is right and the negro ought to vote
then the Republicans have beer
right all the time, and the thinks b,
will vote their ticket and not bother
himself any more about it. A good
many of them are thinking the same
way.-Kenton Rep.
That is just the conclusion goot
many Democrats have come to in
this county. 1t is certainly a very
reasonable conclusion to arrive

RAILWAY SLAUGHTER.
Collision Of Trains Between Newark
and New York--A Large Number of
Persons Killed and Injured.

Persons Killed and Injured.
NEWARK, n. J., July Sat about
ten or fifteen minutes past eight
O'Clock this forenoon, the Z :45 train
from New York, and .the-S:05 train
from Newark, sighted each other
then dashing along at full speed
No whistles were blown, and with
out any diminution in impetus they
approached the switch at Brilfs
farm which the railroad runs
through. A gravel train had last
been switched off there. The switch
had not been replaced, and the
trains met each other Immediately
at the junction. The New York
train engine run off the up track on
to the down track, and cut right
into it vis-a-vis, and, jumping from
the tracks, bounded down the en-
bankment into the ditch, dragging
with it the three foremost cars
The smoking car of the down train
was thrown upon the tender of the
engine, and the first passenger cal
behind telescoped into it for full
fifteen feet. In q few moments sub
sequent to the calamity the terrible
fact became apparent that the cars
and engine were on fire. The flames
spread rapidly, and soon enveloped
everything within reach. The great
est alarm and terror prevailed among
the passengers, ladies screamed and
men became frightened and terror
stricken and rushed to the doors
while others threw baskets, bundles
DC, and in some instances small
children, from the windows. The
terror thus created was augmented
by report that scores of human
beings were in the burning carriages
unable to effect their escape. A
fire alarm was rung, and the firemen
were on the scene promptly to ex-
tinguish the flames. The scene OF
the disaster is n fearful sight. Fol
one hundred and fifty feet the track
is lined with the debris of destroy
ed cars. Five engines and q hun
dred men are working clearing
away the rubbish Hundreds of peo-
pile congregated at the scene. One
man jumped out of the window al
the moment of the accident, and
thus saved himself. All the killed
were employees of the road. Search
is now being made .or more bodies.
The distance from Newark to the
scene Of disaster is one mile and q
half. The general impression was
that the accident was the result of
criminal negligence on the part of
employees of the road. All travel is
suspended on the road. The fol-
lowing is list Of the killed:
George Hill, engineer, roasted
alive under the engine.
Frank Kiernan, engineer, horribly
mangled, and died in ten minutes.
David White, brakeman on up
train.
NJ. NJ. McManes, fireman on up
train. ..-a
George Barks, an engineer, is
and is supposed to be bur
led under the demolished locomo-
tive.
The number of passengers injured
cannot be less than thirty. George
Ranks of New Haven, and Frank
Adams of Newark, are the only
ones supposed to be fatally injured.
