week, in regard to the recent visit OF the In

wrong impression calculated to be produced

were panic-strieken il regard to the indian
raids, and created false alarms, which would
prove detrimental to us iii time Of danger.
We did not desire Or intend to create the i'm

meeting

DURING the raid Of Gen. J.
II. MORGAN through Southern
Ohio, in July, 1868, a number
of his men were taken sick and
left at different points along
the line Of travel. Morgan's
army left jackson, Ohio, on the
10th of that month--a portion
of the artillery being sent east
ward by way Of Wilkesville, in
this county, to the Ohio River.
When the company-ffteen in
number arrived at Wilkes
vile, one Of the men named
Lynch was taken sick with fe.
yer. His companions took him
to the residence Of Mr.. Blake.
ly and arranged with him to
take care of the sick man. The
names of some of the sick
mans friends, his place of resi-.
dence in Tennessee, etc, were
given to Mr.. Blakely and
he was directed to write if the
man did not got well, He
died shortly afterwards and
his remains were buried in the
graveyard at that place
About two weeks ago anephew
of the deceased appeared, and
the remains were disinterred
and conveyed to Tennessee.

about II o'clock. Notwith.
standing the iGclemency of the
day the grove was crowded
with people at two O'clock
The dancing commenced on
the elegant platform which ac.
commodated four sets, it was
erected on a small elevation
above the bank of Raccoon
creek; seats were placed on
either side for the accommoda.
ton Of spectators, excellent
music was in attendance
Hon. d. B. Shivel was not in
attendance, on account of the
unfavorable morning, to the
regret of many, who expected
to hear an-able Grafton from
him.
A fine dinner was prepared
at 4 o'clock P. NJ, which was
satisfactory to all partaking.--
Refreshments Of all kinds in
abundance. There was a Post
Office established near the
platform for which many letters
were written, and dropped re-
deemablc by those to whom
they were addressed. The let.
ters were mostly of a funny
character and | never saw a
finer piece Of sport. The
managers offered a set Of Jew
elry to the young ladies, to be
won by election; the young la.
dy getting the largest number
of votes at 25 cents each, won
the prize. There were five
candidates, and Miss Mary E,
Lawler was victorious by six
majority, she had ia votes
and took home the jewclry.
The afternoon passed rapidly
pleasantly to all.

DisoraCnfuI.

There are many Radical Of
fcials, State and National,
whose occupancy of high pos,
tions is a disgrace to the Amer
lean people, and this has been
the case since the party has
been in power. All were
greedy and anxious for the
spoils of office. There are men
iutrusted with the interests OF
millions who are even unfit to
be trusted even with the inter.
ests of their own families. Even
the most notorious dishonesty
and RIGHTEOUSNESS do not pre-.
vent nominations by conven-
tlons and by the President OF
the United States, and confirm
ations by the U. S. Senate, the
legislatures and by the people.
Is it not time for the people to
think a great deal before cast
ing their votes ? A change is
surely needed. This is a prop.
er time to begin to make Il
change in this State.

baneful practice of accepting pres

III. No moro public lands to be

until the National debt be paid.
"12. AS virtue and intelligence
are the only safeguards of Rcpub-
! lie, our common schools, accessible
to all, should be regarded as the
sheet. anchor of the State"
The Resolutions were laid on
the table by the oflice,holders,
and o6ice-seekers present
And it is plainly to be seen
by the rejection of those reso.
lutions that the Republican
party of Ohio are not prepared
to say that they are for a one
term President; that it is not
proper for men who have offices
to give to accept presents; that
they are for universal amnesty;
for the abandonment of the in.
ternal revenue system, except
duties upon whisky, and to-
bacco ; opposition to the an
nexation Of Domingo, and for
making the common schools
accessible to all. These points,
made by Judge sPAULDING,
were rejected, and an entire
non.committal platform adopt,
ed in their stead. Republican
voters of Vinton county, what
do you think Of the rejection
of Judge SPAULDING's resolu'
tions ? Are you for San Do
for the President taking
bribes, for reelection Of Presi.
dents, an increase of taxation,
and for the continuance Of the
internal revenue system ? If.
not, why not say SO? Now,
we would advise every !honest
Republican in this county to
vote against all the men on the
Republican ticket or not vote
at all. This is a very sure
way to make change.

way to make a change.
Hard Times---PeOple SUf-
fering.

1t is hardly necessary to say
that the times are very hard
and that the people are suffer
ing. The poor man is suffering /;
the farmer is suffering ; all who
have to labor are suffering
But Of course the Radical pa
pers, politicians, ,oflice-holders,
bond,bolders, etc, will deny all
this. We will tell the reader
what causes a great portion of
this suffering. Last winter,
vigorous efforts were made by
the few Democrats in the Radi-
cal Congress, to reduce the
Tariff, to lower the rate Of tax
alton, and so on, but the mo-
nopolists succeeded in their
purpose Of binding the fetters
still more strongly, and today
every branch of trade through
out the length and breadth Of
this once happy and prosper
Gus land is suffering under a
most veXatious and needless
burthen of over taxation. 1t
is within the power of the peo,
pie to remedy this important
matter Go to the polls on
the 10th Of October and vote
against every Republican on
the ticket.
