Significant Facts.

1t is estimated that ihe earn
ings of the entire population OF
the United States is sixteen
hundred millions Of dollars an
nually. The amount paid to
the government in taxes is
about four hundred millions
per year, so that we pay 25
per cent, or one fourth of
what we earn. This is direct
tax, and paid to the general
government. The amount paid
to the State, country and mo-
nopolists is not taken into con-
sideration. But every work
man, farmer, mechanic, and la
bor, pays one dollar ont of
every four that he earns, to
the government, the bondhold.
ers and monopolists, and the
Republican party say tits right.

MISREPRESENTATION
OF
MIR. SOULE.
Lying Circulars Issued by
the Radicals.

Our readers were fully in.
formed, by last weeks paper,
of the base misrepresentation,
by the Radical leaders, (assist-
ed by their mule, RApER,) of
the vote of Mr.. SoULE in the
Legislature upon the "bill to
prevent the teaching of secta-
rian religious doctrines in the
common schools Of this State"
About one month ago their
lying Record published what
they claimed to be the original
"bill )" on the 18th of Septem.
ber NJ. Soule wrote to Raper
telling him he was misrepre-
him by the publication

REPRESENTATIVE.

For the last time before the
election we call the attention
Of the Democrats and all OPP
posed to Radicalism in any
form whatever to the great
importance Of electing a Dem.
ocrat to represent Vinton in the
next Legislature, A Demo.
cratic U. s. Senator and an
honest sre'districting of the
State are matters of great i'm
portance to us. . .a. "
Great efforts are being made
by the Radical leaders in this
county to draw off the atten.
tion of the Democracy from
the main ideas, by insisting thai
the question is a religious one
Our Democratic friends, how
ever, are seeing the trick tha,
is being played on them, ant
are resuspecting a little the. grea,
religious interest that is all o.
a asudden being manifested b,
certain Radicals here, some o.
whom don't visit a church once
u year.

the Importance of securing a

Although this is but a State

of that purported "bill;" Rapel
published Mr.. Soule's letter
and in commenting upon il
said:
"We did not intentional misrepre

"cheerfally comply with his request
"to publish his letter and the amend

"tice which we are at all times
"ready and willing to accord to any
"person, Of whatever politics or
"profession, who feels that he has
"been wronged or misrepresented

How kind it was in the christian
editor of the Record to make that
apology.
"Did not Intentionally misreprc.

O, know How honest s..a.
"Ready and willing at all times to
accord to any person, of whatever
politics or profession, who feels that

Yes, sir You're o christian =

ical Sherman-Bay Church, don't

christians Lying about neighbors

GAS a simple matter of justice |"
Why how thick this new church
spreads it onl What an honest or.
gan they have in the Recordt
But after making that hypocrit-
ical apology, what did they do?
They get their sneaking Raper to
print hundreds and hundreds of
slips or circulars containing the false
bill and garbled proceedings of the
House of Representatives from the
House journal. At the top Of the
slips they have in large, black type
the heading "a Return to the Dark
Ages" &C.; at the bottom of them
they place the name of Amos Lay
man, the Democratic Clerk of the
House, as q witness to their base
dishonesty. ~
And they even go so far as
in the slips or circulars as to
give the names of the members
Of the House who voted for
and against the amended bill
but represent the vote to have
been had upon the false or
bill. These slips
printed at the Record Office
are being sent all over the
county by the Radical candi-
dates and others. We have
a copy of the slanderous circu-
lar in our possession.
Could meanness and po-
Iitical dishonesty be carried
'urther than this ? How low
down into the depth of polite.
Il filth they have leaped II
This is what their party organ
meant hy saying they "did not
misrepresent Mr..
Soule's vote" This is the
way Mr.. Bay proposes to get
Democratic votes.
What do honest men think

eaders who have Intentionally

pie of the county could no
have put q better judge Q
their wants and wishes at tn
head of their ticket than MI
Soule. His uniform courtesy
and careful attention to bust
ness during the past two year
as a Representative, has made
him hosts of friends in all par
ties. Of course you want al
honest man elected in place o.
John Sherman for six years
and the State honestly re.dis'
tricted for Congressman fol
the next ten years; then all
vote for Almond Soule. 1t is
principle and not the man you
vote for in this instance.
For State Senator, JESSE V.
STEVENS, of Meigs county, is
the candidate; and, although
there is a majority Of more
than two thousand in the dis
trict against US, let the people
give him a large vote. He is
not q chronic office seeker, like
the gNash who opposes him,
but happens to be one of the
poor and unfortunate men who
"went to the 'front.' during the
late "unpleasantness." He has
written an address to the peo-
pie of this district, which is
now being distributed, and ev.
cry school district in the coun-
ty should call meeting and
have the address read in the
hearing of the people. He is
the proper man to vote for for
Senator.
The Democratic State ticket
is composed of good men and
men of ability, and with which
in neither respect will the
Radical ticket so favorably
compare and bear close scru-
tiny.
Such is q sketch of the men
composing our ticket. No man
can make one word of objec-
tion to it, either individually
or collectively. Every man
on it is worthy the support of
every Democratic and Conserv.
ative voter.
Democrats of Vinton coun,
ty, let us not forget, while do
ing our whole duty to triumph
antly elect our ticket; that the
contest is not merely for men.
We have higher duty. The
success of vital principles are at
stake, and rallying earnestly
around the candidates of your
choice will aid materially in
strengthening our party for the
battle of 1872. The present
may be likened to a skirmish
that precedes the great strug-
gle which is to decide whether
the glorious Republic estab
lished by our revolutionary
fathers, with its benign and
protecting government, is to
be perpetuated, or whether
despotism with its infamies,
atrocities, extravaganza, cor.
ruption, &C., is to take it's
place, and grow worse and
worse to the bitter end.
Democrats remember that
only six days remain in which
to work. Do oyour whole duty
from this time until the polls
close on Tuesday night, and on
that day cast your ballot for
the entire Democratic ticket,
full and unscratched. We
want to redeem Ohio from
Radical misrule. Rest not till
glorious victory shall reward
your patriotic efforts.

Brides at niagara.

A Niagara Falls correspondent com
menting upon the bridal feature of that
resort, says that the New York brides
can easily be distinguished from those Of
other sections. They partake too strongly
of the idiosyncracies Of their metropoli-
tan city to admit of any mistake being
made. The New York brides are of all
others the most stylish and selfpossessed.
They suggest Madison avenue and Sun
day afternoon strolls there in the midst
of the beauty, the grace and the style of
the town. Their toilettes are maryels of
artistic taste, and they never wear ill
fitting, awkwardly arranged garments,
nor an inharmonious combination of
colors. They have a real genius for
dress, and never touch an article Of
wearing apparel without investing it with
a new grace and individuality. There is
an air Of fashion in the very looping up
of their dresses and tying Of their bows,
an indescribable touch and finish that
no other American women ever get.
From their frizzed Pompadours and
looped Chatelaine braids, down TO the
French heels Of their cunning walking
boots, there is not one thing to criticise.

The Kansas, Fort Scott and Gulf road,
said to be in the interest of the Chicago

It-HOw She Obsaine ed Three De-
grees I'm Odd Fellowship.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.l
INDIANAPOLIS, July l5.-An old man,
sixty-fve years of age, named George
Stats, who was the janitor of Odd Eel
lows Hall, and has had charge Of the
private books and work, as well as keys,
for some time past, has been under the
domination of woman named Pillbern,
who acquired fearful influence over
him, and prevailed upon him to let her
witness three limitations in Odd Fellow
ship while she was concealed from view.
There is room adjoining the main hall
of the Odd Fellows building designed
for the reception of an organ, pending
which it was curtained, having been in
this condition for some time. Entrance
to this room can only be obtained from
the outside, and thereto Mrs. p. was adj
mitted by the janitor upon several differ
ent nights, and witnessed three, if not
five, limitations.
She was supplied with the private
books and work of the Order, keys to the
rooms, and one of the stools Of the En-
campment. These articles were taken
from her few days since by the Chief
os Police. 1t is said the janitor in
structed the woman in three degrees of
Masonry. She makes her boast that she
is an Odd Fellow and Free Mason, and
has given evidence that she knows more
than she ought to about Odd Fellowship.
Now for the reason for her seeking
that which heretofore to women has been
a sealed book. For sometime past the
janitor has paid twelve dollars per month
for the rent Of the woman's house. She
wanted more money, and demanded one
thousand dollars. This was refused,
when she asked for five hundred dollars
and q mortgage on one Of the janitor's
houses. This was also refused, when she
told what she had seen and heard.
Friday night the janitor was tried be-
fore committee Of Odd Fellows and
expolled from the Order. He was de-
Tended by the Hon. VIM Wallace. He
is now reported as keeping closely to his
house.
