pairing for another determined resist
auce. They will be driven from that
on the Goth of the present month, but
it is to be expected that they will renew
the struggle when the new Constitution
is proposed for adoption. They are
unwilling to submit to what the voice
of the majority Of the voters has em
phatically demanded, and are seeking
to avail themselves of every opportu
nity that presents itself to defeat, by
fair means or foul, the accomplishment
of the popular desire.
Is Ohio county willing to utter her
voice in opposition to the expressed
wishes O.! a majority ofthe people OF the
State? If not, we must send men to
the Convention who are pledged to as
sist in making those Constitutional
changes that the welfare Of the State
demands. The late Republican Con.
vention in this county adopted no plat
form and put forth no declaration Of
it's wishes. 1t cannot be doubted thai
this omission virtually instructs the
candidates to oppose any change and
to Join with the Radical delegate;
from other sections Of the State in an
effort to adjourn the Convention with
out making any amendment to the
Constitution. The Democratic candl
dates propose to make certain altera'
tons in the organic law; the Radical
candidates are profoundly silent and
leave us to infer that they are in full
sympathy with their fellows in other
counties who arc instructed to 60 to the
Convention for the sole and avoweG
purpose of breaking it up. Are the
Democrats Of Ohio, Brooke and Han
cock counties willing to assist IN carry
ing out this programme? II not, they
must tolerate no scratching OF theii
own ticket, but stand together and labor
earnestly and exert their whole strength
for the nominees Of their party. Moth
ing less than this is needed to attain
the Constitutional reforms that are de-
manded by the interests OF the State.

numbers and display. When, there
fore, Col. jackson, quiet and taclturn
gentleman, appeared upon the scene,
with only an adjutant, who was also
from the Institute, and both clad in old
threadbare undress uniforms, and took
a little room at the village hotel, and
issued a short, simple order, assuming
the command, and Diminishing all our
generals, and colonies, and lieutenant,
colonies, and majors. and multitude
of staff officers like unto the sands

commotion, CONSERVATION and indigna-

day mass meeting was called OF the
troops and deposed officers TO con
slider what was best to. be done.

but kept quietly in his quarters,

Jackson and repaired to my camp.
Nv men were not much excited, because
my battery was independent, and was
not affected by the decapitation of Off
GERS. But the Indignation meeting was
in full blast hard by, and defunct Off
GERS were denouncing the action Of the
convention. Among the orders | had
brought to Colonel Jackson was one
directing him to muster all the com
panies into service for year or during
the war, at their option. | called my
men together and explained this order,
and they unanimously decided to master

Colonel Jackson a half hour later. he
was much gratificd, and had the COM
pany mustered in that evening. lie
then gave the first exhibition of his
qualities as a commander by issuing a
peremptory order to captains to muster
in their companies by 10 o'clock next
day, and never was the moral power oil
determined will more clearly mani
tested than in the result Of this order.
The mass meeting had adjourned until
next day. 1t never met again, for there
was not an officer or man who dared
resist the Colonels order.

THE RADICAL PROGRAMME.

After eight years OF experience under
Constitution hastily framed and
originally designed to be only tempo
rary, the people Of the State have de-
cded in favor OF a Convention to make
certain important changes in the organic
law. The calling of the Convention
was bitterly opposed by the party that
found the present Constitution a ready
instrument Of oppression and desired its
retention without change in letter or
clause. Failing to convince the people
that the law under which all sorts Of
wrongs were committed with impunity
was the very best that could be enacted;
baffled in their attempt to defeat the
call, they are now determined to have
the Convention adjosrn without action,
and thus leave the State in the same
condition as before. While the call
was pending they had much to say
about the expense that would be in
CURED by the adoption of the measure,
and endeavored to deter the voters from
obtaining the needed reforms by pub
fishing exaggerated statements of their
cost. But now that the Convention has
been called and the greater portion OF
the necessary expense must be incurred
whether that body does anything or
nothing, they are in favor of throwing
away all the money that has been and
will be expended in this cause and
fastening upon the people the old Con-
stitution that they desired to discard.
This is the question at issue now in
this county and in the State at large
Shall the Constitution be amended, or
shall it remain as it is? 1t is simply
renewal Of the struggle made last
summer, though in another form. The
Radicals are only driven back inch by
inch. Driven from one line of defense
by the vote on the Oath of August, they
have fallen back to another and are pre-

THERE are some facts in connection
with the late canvass in Ohio and Its
results to the Democratic party which
are worth remembering, and they are
thus stated by the Cincinnati Enquirer :
Two years ago, the majority against
Mr.. PENDLEroN, for Governor, was in
the neighborhood of eight thousand
Last year, when some fifteen thousand
negro votes were added to the poll, the
majority was about seventeen thousand.
In the canvass this year, we were un'
fortunately crippled by the sickness Of
our candidate for Governor, who was
unable to fulfill his appointments and
give that personal attention to them
which is usually expected from him.
The Administration made the most
extraordinary exertions in order to Sc
cure the reelection OF Senator SHER'
NAN. 1t put its thousands OF Office
holders to work. 1t made its demand
upon the national banks and the man
ufacturing corporations for subsidies, all
of which were literally answered. Its
cabinet officers patrolled the State and
every effort which thorough organiza
ton, long victorious, could make, was
resorted to for success. The Democracy
had none of these appliances. so i'm
portant in securing a general attend
ance at the polls, in their favor They
were without patronage, and, to very
considerable extent, their organization
was defective. That we should have
tailed to redeem the State can hardly be
a surprise but to the most sanguine. Nc
true Democrat will be the least discour
aged by thi. untoward result, but will
continue to labor in the good cause
confident that the sober second thought
will only be more emphatic by its being
delayed"

that the bones grow only during sleep.

the food they eat i'm thinking, talking
and walking, while you should save
some of yours for growing. You ought
to sleep great deal; if you do not, you

and have none, or not enough, to grow
with.
Very few smart children excel, or even
equal other people when they grow up.

In Ararat township, in Pennsylvania,
a portion of railroad track recently sank
into the earth, and disappeared from
sight. An investigation into the cause
of this singular occurrence revealed the
fact that underneath the railroad for a
considerable distance was n deep sub
terranean pond, covered by crust OF
black earth six feet in thickness. This
crust supports heavy growth of wood.
The pond is said to contain many fish,
pickerel among others, but all without
eyes In the same township is another
pond, about twenty acres in extent,
upon which similar crust is accumu-
lating. a large part of this pond has
been covered within the past twenty
years, and the process is still going on.
For some distance from the shore it Is
filled with dense growth of water
lilies, and these are supposed to furnish
the foundation for the superstructure OF
earth.
