PoTE-This commodity is coming into
town quite plenty, although the price is
ranging low. Our dealers are paying about
four dollars per hundred, for the best quail
ty, at present. The general impression
seems to prevail, that pork will not go
much higher this season. One of our prin-

pork will not command over three dollars

W0nt of Interest. = We constantly
hear complaints made of the great lack of
interest shown to our Public Schools by the
parents and guar dams of the children at
tending them. 1t is a rare occurrence to
have any Of the parents visit the school
room to see how their children are pro-
crossing in their studies. Teachers feel
much more encouraged in their work, and
are apt to take more interest in the ad
vancement of the scholars when they know
that their efforts are being closely scruti
nized by the parents and others. There
should be dsep interest manifested by all
in the progress and general success of our
public schools and in no better way can it
be shown than by more frequent visits to
the schools and an earnest desire to witness
how faithfully the teachers are performing
their duties towards the children who have
been left III their charge.

The Logan Gazette, a Democratic
paper, has given up the ghost. 1t
died for want of patronage.
The Wilmington Gazette, Demo-
cratic paper, after a sickly existence of
81 weeks has been forced to suspend
publication, as the editor and publish
er says, for want Of sufficient patron
age to keep it alive. This fatality
among Democratic papers, angurs lily
for the success of the party in Ohio.
Several of the leadiug democrats OF
Clinton County have signed and pub
lished a card in the Gazette, in which
they speak in fattering terms of Mr.
Routhe's ability and exertions to sns-
tain the Gazette As editor and pub
Usher of the paper he did all in his
nower to sustain it and to make it use
ful to his party.
1t is not to be expected that dead
party will support a party paper, no
difference how we'll or how ably it may
be edited. Towards Mr.. r. we have
none but the most friendly personal
feelings, and in a financial point of
view regret the necessity of the sus-
pension of the Gazette.

The building of three great lines of
railroad across the Continent will ulti-
mately carry this business into every
part ofthe Rocky mountain country
wherever there are valleys and parks
adapted to the business. The manner
in which the vast herds of buffalo have
roamed over those vast regions for
ages past, furnishes abundant proof of
the capacity of that region to sustain
an immense trade in tame cattle, and
this is now pushing forward with
amazing rapidity.

The Chillicothe papers are paying
left handed compliments on, the .iber-
ality and enterprising character of the
Daily Ohio State Journal, and this is
what they say:
The Daily Ohio State Journal has
taken an economical streak and has
discontinued the sending of its daily
paper to the country papers as an eX-
change. Poor policy 5his. Country
papers must live, and this taking away
weekly of half dozen cold papers =
worth five cents-from their bunch to
sell to bakers or BARRIERS, is unjust, un-
kind and ungenerous on the part oil
the Journal Scioto Gazette.
We advise our neighIor TO cut the
Journal from its exchange list, as We
have done We considered that the
Journal had the best end of the bar
gain even when it sent us its daily, but
when it fell back upon its week ", we
dropped it instanter. AS we exchange
with the Daily Statesman, we had no
use for the Journal, and don't miss it
except perhaps in the way the Ga
zette puts it [Chillicothe Register.
The Journal cut us off, but we sup
pose it was because of a realizing
sense, that the publishers were not Civ
ing US an equivalent.

The shattuck Murder Trial.

The Hiilsboro News of last week
gives the result of the above case which
was tried in the Highland County
Common Pleas Court week before last.
We make the following extract from
the News:
The trial of David Shattuck for the
murder of George Gregg closed on
Wednesday afternoon of last week.
and the case was given to the jury on
Wednesday evening The jury agreed
during the night, and on Thursday
morning came into Court and return
ed verdict of ''Not Guilty" 1t is
reported that on retiring four of the
jury were in favor of verdict for
MansIaughtcr, and eight for acquittal
The verdict was rather unexpected
to most of those who attended the tri-
al and heard the evidence, it being
generally anticipated that the accused
would be convicted of Manslaughter
at least.
Gregg was stabbed by Shattuck on
the night of the 18th of May, 1870, in
a field near Gregg's house, in the
neig1borhood of Fairfax, in the South
eastern part Of this county. Shattuck
had some corn III the shock in this
field, and Gregg and his half brother
Robert Foster, young man about Is
years of age, had gone into the field ;
few minutes before the affray i'll whicl
Gregg was stabbed. Shattuck and +;
boy named John Walker, about l.
years old, son of John Walker, senior
with whom Shattuck has lived for ;
number of years, Mrs. Walker being
his aunt,) were together, and say
Gregg and Foster go into the field.
The News then gives the substane
of the testimony in the case.

The Governorship.

The question as to who should be
the Republican nominee for Governor
of this State, is one that is being dis
cussed, among the politicians, at least,
and it is an important question to de
eide upon. There are a numhcr of
candidates, or persons whose names
have been suggested by their individ
uaI friends, as proper persons tor the
position, but we hope that ti,e friends
Of those mentioned III connection
with the nomination will not allow
their feelings to become so far enlisted
in favor of their particular candidate,
that they will be unable to join in and
support any one of the several gentle
men spoken of for the nomination.
We have plenty Of COOL and truly
worthy men to choose from, who have
been named, and any one OF them
would honorsbly fill the Executive
chair of Ohio, Among those who
have been spoken of, are Ex-Governor
Dennison, Ben Wade, Hon. Samuel
Galloway, Caldwell, Noyes, Lawrence,
Welker, and our present, worthy Lieu
tenant. Governor Lee.
Our Democratic friends al hoping
that there will be so many Republican
candidates for the nomination, and that
the friends of each one will be deter
mined to have their particular favorite
nominated, thinking it will be impo;s
sible to unite the Republican strength
upon any one who may be nominated
and in that event they place all theil
hope of eleeting Democrat to fill the
Gubernatorial chair of the State. They
know they have not even the ghost o
a chance to elect Democratic Gov
ernor, unless it is through disafectior
in the Republican party, Ia this an
ticipation, indulged in by that party
let us be sure to disappoint them.
There is no doubt that the Re
publicans will nominate O. candidat
worthy of the position and the full Re
publican vote of the State. Let us
then, be prepared to stand by on
principles and to carry them out, b
uniting our forces on the nominee, an
thus will triumph the principles Of til
party that has, in our Government
greatest peril, saved it from ruin.

To THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF ONO ::
Your annual State Convention will
be held at Columbus, on Wednesday
the 21st day of June, 1877, for TIE
nomination of candidates for the fol
lowing offices, viz;
Governor.
Lieutenant Governor.
Judge of the Supreme Court.
Treasurer Of State.
Auditor of Sta,e.
Attorney General.

the selection of delegates, be held on
Saturday, June 10th, 1871.
The basis of representation in the
Convention will be one delegate for

wood, for Secretary of State, in 1870,
and one additional delegate for any
fraction of $50 votes and upwards, in
each County.
Fayette county gave 177O votes for
Sherwood, in 1870, consequently, Fay
ette is entitled to four delegates in the
State Convention.

Afairs in -EIurOne.

The Red insurrection at Paris still
continues. Civil war is in full blast,
the Versailles Governments, headed by
Thiers. having as yet failed to concili-
ate or suhjugate the Communists
Meanwhile, the Germans are without
their promised installment of money
now due, and Intervention on their
part is freely talked of. If Il German
army again enter Paris, it is likely to
remain there until a stable government
is consolidated, perhaps another Bona
parte empire. The Orleans Princes
have been expelled from France by
order of the Versaillists, and both the
contonding parties are committed
against the restoration Of monarchy
under any dynasty.
To the friends of Republicanism,
the spectacle at Paris during the last
few weeks has been really dishearten
ing The authority in control at the
close of the war was rebelled against
fercts4rys 4alat4l4t4
tre A temporizing and timid policy
on the part of Thiers permitted this
mere mob to develop a rival govern.
ment, as the Commune of Paris. and
the tardy resort to arms has resulted
a, we have seen. The Communal gov
ernment itself has meanwhile beer
revoiutionized. and Cluseret, its lead
er, supPTaHted by Rossel. Churches
have been plundered, priests maltreat
ed, and the rights of property invaded
in way that shows how little they
would be regarded if the Communist:
! should once obtain complete sway
OF this, however, there is no real dan
ger, for they must undoubtedly sool
succumb-if not to the Versaillists
then to the Berlinists. Thiers or Bis
marck is the only immediate aIterna
tive. What will come of their sub
mission to either, can now only be
matter of speculation Times an
Chronicle.

Too Much Legislation.

We are e-inclined to think it would
be to the interest Of the tax payers OF
this State to pay the members of the
Legislature salary for the term for
which they are elected, say 500 or
$500 for the full term. The result
would be to make shorter sessions,
and perhaps but one session for the
two years; thus, in addition to the re.
duction of the expense of legislation,
it would dimiIish the amount. There
is altogether more legislation than is
required by the best interests of the
people Itmay be said, that we should
elect no men to the State Legisla
ture that we are not. willing to trust
with the powers of making laws for
us, and Of lcgislating prudently and
economically for u.s. that is true. We
do not design to elect unworthy men
to Office, but some how or other, men
do get into official stations that do not
have the highest regard for the best
interests of their constituents; hence,
time and money are squanderel in use
less legislation, that is of no interest
to one in five thousand Of the people
Too many men, VIC fear, get into the
Legislature who have no objection tc
pFolOnging the sessions to an exten
that is only limited by the exhaustion
of the States pile of greenbacks.
Would it not have a tendency tC
make short sessions, and limit th'
amount of legislation, to pay our mem
bers salary, instead Of paying then
by the day We think it would.
