The Steubenville Herald, in its life
long existence, never published more
truth in single paragraph than in
publishing the following, which ap-
peared as " editorials III its columns
few days since:

Times notes the cry of hard times"
and truthfully attributes the cause,
primarily, to the fact that too large
share of our people are trying to live
by something else than productive in
dustry. Other influences contribute,
il says, but this is far more potent
than the whole of them. We are fast
becoming nation of schemers to live
without work. Our boys are not
learning trades, our farmers sons are
crowding into cities looking for clerk
ships and petty offices: hardly one
American girl in 100 will do house,
work for wages, however urgent her
need, SO we are sending to Europe for
workmen and buying of her artisans
millions worth of products that we,
ought to make for ourselves. There
can be no doubt that our boys and
girls must be taught to love labor by
qualifying themselves to do it efficient
", ii we would better matters in the
luture at all.

The Rhode Island Senate, which is
all over and inside republican of the
modern sham kind, after considerable
discussion, has rejected, by a decisive
vote, a proposition to amend the Con-
stitution, SO that naturalized citizens
can vote without owning real estate.
The Constitution of Rhode Island
permits negroes to vote without own

The substance of the San Domingo
letters from the Commission, that the
people are generally favorable to an
nexation, but the Haitian end of the
island is unaIterabIy opposed to any
such step; in fact, to such an extent
does this opposition run that it is be-
lieved that the Haytian Government
is actually supporting Cabral, the rev.
olutionary leader. This is substantial
ting the view Mr.. Sumner took, and
as it seems correct, there can hardly
be any doubt that if we annex San
Domingo, we accept with it a war
with Hayti. Whether this country is
prepared for any operations of that
nature, remains to be seen when the
question comes officially before Con-
gress.-Ohio Statesman. hsaa 5
The First National Bank of New
York has subscribed 81 100000 to the
new five per cent. bonds of the Gov
ernment, and it is expected that its
correspondents in the country will
soon increase the amount to $l0,00O,-
600. Secretary Boutwell, entertains
strong hopes for the success of his
scheme, and soon debt which was
contracted in deprecated currency
will be saddled upon the country to be
paid in coin, by which the government
creditors will receive double the
amount which they loaned to the Fed
eral Treasury and this all on account
of their disinterested self-sacriicing
patriotism. Such are the fruits of
Radical rule.

THERE don't seem to be anything
like the anxiety among the Radical

Substance of the Democratic Ad-
dress.

The Democratic caucus, its re
centmeeting, finally concluded to is
she national address, which should
cover in a general manner all the
political questions at issue up to
the present time. The Southern
Democrats had no opinions to offer,
but left everything to be made up
by their Northern brethren. The
address was not to be. issued until
after the passage of the pending
Kuklux bill. 1t will set forth that
the Democracy fully abides by all
the questions settled by the pass
age of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, and that there is no
disposition to dispute any of the le-
gal consequences which may follow
from the same; thence, touching
upon what the questions involved
in the propositions are, it will con
clude with an Indictment of the en-
tire policy of the Republican party
it will set forth that the Republi-
can party has entirely failed to
subserye the material interest OF the
country; that in the pursuit of alb
stractions it has allowed corrup-
tions to accumulate. and monopo-
lies to become So powerful that the
liberties Of the people are endan-
gered; that the Republican Admin
istrstions have been bui for sin
glc purpose, and that for the AZ.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I am giadyou have
called the attention Of the proper
authorities to the condition of the
bridge across Richland near the de
pot. I was passing on the bridge
the other morning and met about
midway an ordinarily loaded two
horse wagon which caused such s.
vibration as to alarm me into rap
id walk, and the driver was also Wis
IDLY alarmed. Two other gentle
men who were standing on the rail
road track with their backs TO the
bridge were so attracted by the
creaking that they turned in haste
as if they feared an accident. Ire
ally believe the proper authorities
should look into this matter soon.
If they do not, the probabilities are
that you may be called upon to re-
cord a catastrophe that viii shock
the community. am glad to see
the CITIZEN growing in usefulness
and its own prosperity.

simply because everybody here al

one of the most popular journals in
the State. Yet he took no notes,
but rather took to his heels" l
suppose 1 ought to state that it was
during that little difficulty which
we had with the Yankees. There
fore his stay was transient.

The Nashville & Decatur Rail
Road


The absorbing topic in this coun-
ty just now is the proposed lease of
the Nashville & Decatur Railroad
to the Louisville 65 Nashville Rail
road. So far as we arc concerned
che first question presented
to our mind is whether the propos-
cd lease viii benefit the stockhoId-
ers of Giles county, as we'll as the
county itself In trying to arrive
ut an unbiased and unprejudiced
opinion on the subject, we feel that
we were justified in making all 9TH
er interests secondary in some
measure to those of our own coun-
ty and its people. We are assured
by two Of the most prominent di-
rectors of the n. & D. Railroad
that in their conference with the
Louisville directors they were met
an a frank, liberal and straight for
ward manner; that those gentlemen
emphatically discIaimed any inten-
fion of injuring Nashville; on the
contrary, considering the interest of
louisville and Nashville to be iden-
teal. they were of the opinion that
the proposed lease. opening as it
will great public thoroughfare to
the Gulf, viii be equally as benefi-
cial to one city as the other. The
terms of the lease as they appear in
tO-day's CITIZEN show that the di-
rectors sustain these sentiments by
a positive contract-a sufficient
proof that they were uttered in
good faith. Giles county has some
$35O,OOO of n. & d. r. r. stock. q
sufficient amount to render her a
largely interested party, and so far
it has paid nothing. At the time
the lease was agitated it was re-
garded as almost worthless. The
great object that our stockholders
nave in view is to render their
stock, if possible, a paying invest
ment. We are informed by Mai.
JONES and Gen. Brown that not
withstanding the most rigid econo-
my the road is now unable to pay
more than the interest on its debt
and the necessary expenses of run
ming. Neither is it likely that it
will do more in the future, ifitspres-
ent status is not changed. If it
passes into the hands of the Louis
vile road, the stockholders are
guaranteed a dividend Of 6 per cent.
by corporation whose wealth is
immense and whose ability to fulfil
its contract cannot be disputed,
and the stock itself will at once at
tain a healthy value in the market.
Then the completion Of the North
South Railroad will open to us nat
ural markets for our grain, cattle
and stock which are at present
closed. With the lease before them
and their interests in view, the
stockholders, we know, viii deter
mine the question on the 4th of
next month nationally and conclu-
sively 1t is to their interest to at
tend in person or by proxy on that
occasion so that a full expression
of their views may be had.

that industry was robbed of its
