JUDGE d. C. PINKERToN tells us
that the Muskingum Valley Repub-
iican that told us that Senator Sher-
man dispensed wines and brandies
to his friends, at a Columbus
hotel, during the time of
the late Republican Convention,
now says that he was not in sher-
mans room at the time stated, and
that he knows nothing about it.
We refrain from giving the name
of this Republican until We can see
him and understand exactly what
he does nO1 say from his own lips.
He made the charge against Sher>
man on more than one OCCASION,
and to other persons than o~u-selt;
and, if he charged falsely, it Is due
to Sherman that we make 1t known,
and, should such prove to be the
case, we Will do so. We are not Of
that class that are disposed to give
publicity to false reports against
any political opponent; and, should
1t prove that we have done SO in
any instance, We will as readily
stamp such report as false, and
condemn the falsiier, as We would
hold it up to the light If true. II
is possible for a newspaper man to
be imposed upon by those IN whose
word be has confidence, aud should
it prove that we have been in this
case, or any other case, the public
shall know il.

Backbsnes weak.

The Republican governor of OHIO
is said to be a mar of one leg. That
is no great disability. Many a man
has rade q successful "run" who
had no backbone. Besides perpaps
the platform is such that an honest
man can stand upon 1t as well with
one leg as with two. Give us me
limbed candidates in Massachusetts,

perance Press.
We would say 10 the Press that
the platforms of the two old par
lies in this State are as dumb on the
question of temperance, as though
there was not q grog-shop In our
border, and not a single instance
of crime or misery growing out of
the rum traffic. The lack of back
bone is the'trouble with the candi>
dates, except the out-and-out whis-
ky and lager beer nominees, who
have a stiff spinal column determin-
ed TO fight against anything that
squInts towards, or proposes to IN
t~erfere with "good BEER" or ina
tional German customs" the liber-
ty to make drnnkards, &c. Gener-
al Noyes lost a leg in defense Of his
country, against an organized sys-
tenn OF evil, but he has not as yet
evinced the slightest disposition to
attack another great system of
wrong. The political managers of
his party hate, scoff at, andridicule
prohibition" just as the politicians
of twenty-five or thirty years ago
did abolition" They bow so rum
and lager beer just rs tumbly and
cringingly as ever did old Wings
and Democrats to the slave power.
They will only have backbone
when the temperance veters shall
give them positive assurance that
they will not, in any sense, be tri-
fed Wltb.-Prohfbitton Era.

was in GAINESVILLE on the Fourth of

the person killed WAS not IN Il state

that we willfully falsifed about the
matter, it would be- as well for the

A Remembrance OF Andrew
Jackson.

We dined at J0nesborough, the
seat ofjustlce of Washington Coun-
ty, one OF the very oldest towns N
Tennessee. AT that place, seventy
five years ago, Old Hickory Jack
son, then a Judge of the Clrcnlt
Court, at that place. when holding
a Court, ordered the Sheriff of the
county to arrest q notorious des-
perado named Bean, q celebrated
outlaw in the early history of that
region. The officer soon reappear-
ed in the Court room ard reported
his inability to make the arrest.
Summon a posse" Numbered Old
Hickory. II have" said the Sher-
IF, "but still we cannot make the
arrest" Summon me-" ejacula-
ted the wrathful Jackson. The
Sheriff gladly obeyed, and the man
of iron will strode toward the cui-
prit; the crowd eagerly following.
Approaching Bean with bent brow,
and gaze beneath which every bu-
man being that ever encountered
it qualled, Beams upra:sed arm
dropped to bis side, and he was led
resisilessly to the prison. The

THE Christian Union is, we fear.
rather "shaky" on the subject of
the existence of a personal devil.
To q corr respondent, who avows his
own disbelief In the arch fend and
asks for information, the editor
says: "The medieval devil, with
his impish pranks and jokes, gro
tesque and malignant in equal man.
ner, is not found in Scripture, o
feared by men of sense. But we
do not see that modern reason and
science need deny the existence of
deceived and deceiviDg spirits, am
bilious and insubordinate who are
working out plans under q Leaders
ship of high order-a kingdom of
this world, with a king, contrast
ing SHARPLY with the Kingdom OF
Heaven and its King. Do we be-
lIeve that there is a personal devil?
Yes or no? No-not a devil such
as the quesuloner has probably in
mind. Yes-a devil declared in
Scripture, to destroy whose works
the Son of God was manifested.
But we reckon faith III jesus Christ
a more important matter than fear
of the devil, or belief in his person
al existence"

nIDktIOH H
Adopted at the Chicago Convention, Sepfr.
2, 1869.
WHEREAS, Protection and allegiance are
reciprocal duties, and every citizen
who yields obedience to the just COM
mands of his government is entitled
to the full, complete and perfect pro-
lection of that government in the en-
joyment of personal security, person
al liberty, and private property, and
drinks greatly impairs the personal
security and personal liberty oflarge
masses of citizens, and renders pri-
Tate property insecure, and
WHEREAS, The existing parties are
hopelessly unwilling to adopt an ed
equate policy on this question, there
fore we, in national convention as
sembled, as citizens of this free re-
public, sharing in the duties and re-
Fponsibilities of its government, in
the discharge of a solemn duty we
owe to our country and our race,
unite in the following declaration Of
principles
/. That while we acknowledge the
pure patriotism and profound states
manship of those patriots who laid
broad and deep the foundations ofthis
government, securing at once the
rights of the States severally and their
inseparable union by the Federal Con-
stitution, we would not merely garnish
the sepulchers of our republican faths
ers, but we do hereby renew u sol
emn pledge of fealty to the imperish-
able principles of civil and religious
liberty embodied in the Declaration of
American independence and our Feds
eral Constitution.
2. That the traffic in intoxicating
beverages is a dishonor to christian
civilization, inimical to the best inter
ests of society, a political wrong of un-
equaled enormIty. subversiye of the
ordinary objects of government, not
capable of being regulated or restrain
ed by any system of license whatever,
but imperatively demanding for its
suppression effective legal prohibition
both Ly State and National Legisla-
ton.
g. That in view of this. and inasmuch
as the existing political parties either
oppose or ignore this great and para
mount question, and absolutely refuse
to do anything toward the suppression
of the rum traffic, which is robbing the
nation of it's brightest intellects, des-
troying its material prosperity, and ra-
pidly undermining its very founda-
tions, we are driven by an imperative
sense of duty to sever our connection
with these political parties, and to or
ganize ourselves into additional Prohi-
bition Party, having for its primary
object the entire suppression of the
traffic in Intoxicating drinks.
f. That while we adopt the name of
the National Prohibition Party, as ex-
pressive of our primary object, and
while we denounce all reputation of
the public debt, and pledge fidelity to
the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence and the Federal Constitu-
ton, we deem it inexpedient to give
prominence to other political issues.
5. That q Central Executive Commit
tee of one from each State and Terri
tory and the District of Columbia, be
appointed by the Chair. whose duty it
ehall be to take such action as in their
Judgment will best promote the in
terests of the party.

The Marietta Register calls the Re.
publican ticket put in nomination here
the 2Sth a good ticket. Right Regis,
teri 1t is a ticket every Republican in
the county can support. 1t is COM
posed of tried men. Iii IS composed of
true men. 1t is not made up Of adven-
turers, expediency men or political
squirts. 1t is not made up of men who
carry their politics in their pockets.
The past record of the men who COM
pose 1t, is all that is needed as q guar
antee of their future political stead
fastness and integrity.-McC onneLsviHc
Herald, of thell4th.
Is not the above decidedly cool?
The Morgan County Republican
ticket composed of "trled men. true
men, not made up of men who car
ry thor politics IN their pockets,
men whoseIpast political records
will guarantee their future political
steadfastness and integrity !"
Wheugh II The Herald editors
must have q pretty hard cheek to
publish the above extract. Let US
look at some of these 'trled, true
men,:
Stanton, Two years ago, was so
much of "a Prohibltionist that he
would not accept the Republican
nomination until he vas urged to
do so by the Prohibltionists.
McGrew, two years ago, was so
disgustedswith the Republican par
ty that he signed a paper pledglng
himself to vote the Prohibition
ticket.
Roberts-well we wont say any
thing more about Roberts. He
does not carry his Epolitics in his
pocket, to be sure, but he does like
bread and butter. Aim, General
Garfield, I'm happy to meet you.
I'm a brother-in-la OF Hon. W. p.
Sprague, candidate for Congress-"
But, Havener, nj own r~ose-scent-
ed Gus, the man who bolted the
Republican County Convention two
years ago, the man n AeTdtd so
bitterly denounced as a bolter two
years ago, the man who accepted
the nomination of the Peoples
County Convention and defeated
the regular Republican nominee two
years ago, the man who voted the
Democratic State ticket two years
ago, the man the Court House Ring
did net dare refuse to nominate at
Its late County Convention for fear
he would again bolt-has. he not
been "trIed" and found SO "true''?
WE wonder what kind Of men the
Herald thinks the Republicans of
Morgan r composed of, if they
can all support a bolter. Is it a
principle of the Republican party
to reward boilers? Will the Her.
aid answer?

Lutte A. TAYLOR, editor of the
La Crosse (Wis.) Leader, who has
been an inyeterate stammercr,
writes rs follows: ;'No stammerlng
person ever found any difficulty IN
singing. The reason of this is, that
by observing the measure of the
music--by keeping time-the or
gans of speech are kept in such a
position that enumeration is easy.
Apply the same rule to reading or
speech, and the same result will
follow. Let the stammerer take q
sentence, say this one-'Leander
SWAN the Heliespont'-and pro-
nounce 1t by s~yllables, seal it, keep
ing time with his finger If necessa>
ry, letting each syllable occupy the
same time, thus, Le-an-der-
swan:-the-Hel-les- pont, and
he will not stammer. Let him pro-
nounce slowly at first, then faster,
but still keeping time with words
instead of syllables, and be will be
surprised to find that by very little
practice, he will read without SIAM
mering, and nearly rs rapidly as
persons ordinarily talk or read.
Then practice THIS in reading or
conversation until the habit is bro
ken up. Perseverance and atten-
ton is all that is necessary to per-
form q perfect cure"

WAS the wine made by Jesus
from water ut tho wedding IN Cana
of Galilee, intoxicating? This ques-
ton, substantially, was discussed
lately in SIX successive meetings of
the Presbyterian Ministers Asscci-
ttion of Philadelphia. The body
was divided on the question, at the
end as In the beginning of the dis
cussIon; but all united IN the reso-
luton that In view of the deplora-
BILE results, temporal and eternal,
which IN so many cases are clear
ly traceable to The custom of wine
drinking, especially as part of a So
claI entertainment; and in view
also of the divine precept that the
strong bear the infrmities Of the
weak, not pleasing themselves, even
as Chris: also pleased not himself,
this Association regards the entire
disuse of wine, as well as other in
t~oxicating liquors, as a beverage,
by individuals or at social assem-
blies, as a duty which Under the
Christian law of self-denial, is now
due 10 suffering humanity"

reason why woman should not vote
that the tongues of women are We
