in Philadelphia during the week ending
ut noon Saturday was one hundred and
iify-three.
A man was killed by cars on the Fit
Wayne road at Leetonia, last Thursday,
He was on the track and did not observe
the train until it was on him.
During the month Of October the rail-
roads having their termini, in Chicago,
with a single exception, not only suffered
no loss, but earned nearly $780, 900 more
than in the corresponding month oflast
year.
Congress assembled on Monday. The
Presidents annual message was read at
2p. m. It is pronounced by thepress to
be an able and interesting document
We will publish it in our next issue, its
length, as well as the hour in which we
received it, rendering it inconvenient for
us to reproduce it in our columns this
week.
Montgomery and Frank Blair have
put forth deliversnces on the subject Of
the Presidency and the Democratic
party. They sound like testimony of
the nearest surviving relatives before a
eo=oner's jury. The Blairs give up
entirely, not being able to perceive a
single ray Of hope for the Democratic
party.
The excitement in Clark county, In
diana, on account of the Park tragedy,
has not died out The suspicion that
white men instigated the murders is
undergoing a secret investigation. A
number Of negroes are leaving the
county. The wife of the negro, Taylor,
who is now suspected of being the d
who struck the fendish blows, has gone
10 Chicago. The grand jury will meet
in December, when it is probable that
some of the lynchers of the negroes
engaged in the bloody affair viii be
indicted.
We last week named the ticketthat
we should prefer to see inscribed on
the Republican national banner of
ls72-GRANT and GARFIELD. We
are glad to know that Dur course in
this matter meets the approval of
Republicans, not only in our immedi-
ate vicinity, but also by gentlemen at
a distance, whose opinions r not of
light value. We expect to keep this
ticket at the head of our columns and
TO say at opportune times an earnest
word in its behalf, hoping these
worthy names may be the honored
choice Of the Republican party to
lead it to victory in the approaching
important political contest.
We believe the masses of the people
favor the denomination of General
Grant for the Presidency. We have
heard scarcely a dissenting voice
among the Republicans of this coun-
~. Intriguers are endeavoring to
effect combinations for the purpose Of
revenging their disappointments or
promoting their individual ambitions
for place and power, but the people,
who have 20 designs upon the public
treasury, or an inordinSte yearningfor
line imagined honor of official posi-
ton, care nothing for the clamor Of
the ~disaffected, whether of high or
low degree. They will go for the
man who has filled his trust faithful
", capably and fearlessly.
The Democratic presses TEEN with
nzlignity toward Senator John Sher-
nan, and have put In circulation a num-
Der of false reports designed to injure
him personally in popular estimation.-
The Columbus Journal gives aquietus
one of these untruthful stories. It
'ays of the Democratic newspaper sto-
that Senator Sherman has secured
i%partments and is going to keep open
house" at the Neil House, there is not
word of truth in the report. The Neil
louise proprietor assures the Journal
hat Senator Sherman has not made any
Engagements at that hotel for the winter,
Though he is prepared to entertain
sherman in the customary style
the usual rates.
A dozen OF colored students of the
fsk University OF Nashville, Tennessee,
ave beer giving concerts in some of the
towns and cities of the country,
n the benefit OF the institution, which {
As already sent out through the South {
bout five hundred teachers among the
Of color. TlIis company of stu
stopped at Mansfield, Ohio, a few
avs since, and advertised a concert.
'ow Mansfield happens to be burdened {
it'll a full corps Of Democratic officials Z
I'd as the chief end of Democracy is to
srseeute the colOred population, of
'urse this opportunity could not be lest, 9
Id so they concluded to impose a tax of
on the singers, although the city or
nanees expressly exempt concerts and =
from municipal tax. Well the 3
was this: The audierce learned q
the imposition and the hat icing ?
ssed, the sum of $50 was raised, p
iough to psy the license fee and leave a
.ndsome balance. The rebuke may C
be a good lesson to the rebuked !,
