LAKE SHORE, WOOSTER AND MUS
KINGUM VALLEY r. r.

Our people are not yet wakened
up to the great necessity of this
road through our county. There
is not question of doubt as to its
being built, but the question to be
considered is, will it come to Mill
ersburg or shall we be left out in
the cold, an inland town five or six
miles from q station. In a talk
with some of the Corporators of
this proposed road a few days since,
they gave us to understand that un-
less Alillersburg would do some
thing, that the road would be loca-
ted few miles west of our town
and pass down to Oxford almost di-
rect from Shrere. The people along
that part of the line are quite anx-
ious that it should go that way, and
are willing to do what they can to-
ward building it. Should this be
the case, any one can see what a
predicament we would be in. With
out any hope of ever getting a road
from the East, Westward, and cut
out from any other North and South,
We could expect to be nothing more
than a way station. We have heard
men say that the road must of a
necessity come through this place.
This is. 4 mistake which we trust
they may see before it is to late. 1t
can be made without coming to this
place. Is not it time then that we go
to work and see what can be done?

LESSON FROM CONNECTICUT.

The Pittsburg Commercial says:
There is one point in the Connecti-
cut election returns which we do not
recollect to have seen noticed, but
which merits special attention-the
surprising paucity of the vote poll
ed by the Labor Reform and Tenn
perance candidates. The campaign
in that State, so far as the division
and structure of partieswas concern
ed, pretty correctly epitomizes the
probable character of the Presiden
tial campaign of next fall. Practic-
ally, the vote cast for both OF these
tickets in Connecticut proves to
have been virtually thrown away,
and there is no reason to suppose
that different result will be obtain
ed in the ensuing National contest.
The lesson which it teaches is, that
since the Labor Reform and Temper
ance Presidential tickets are both
foreordained to defeat, support of
eitheris practically useless. Labor
Reformers having already in many
quarters repudiated the nomination
of Judge Davis, the wisest course to
pursue would be to abandon the
the movement altogether. So with
regard to the Temperance ticket.
The matter is worthy of serious con-
sideration. lit-H -,as-.-a

DEATH OF SAMUEL GALLOWAY. ,

Hon. Samuel Galloway died at
his residence at Columbus, Friday.
Mr.Galloway has been prominent in
political and religious affairs in this
State. He was member of the Pres
byterian Church, and was generally
a delegate to its Legislative bodies,
in which he took a prominent part.
He was very effective public
speaker, having a great fund of wit
and satire, which also was conspic-
uous in his social intercourse.
These qualities made him much
sought for as a speaker in political
campaigns. Mr.. Galloway was a
practicing lawyer, man of fine So
cial and domestic qualities, and was
highly esteemed by a large circle of
acquaintances, besides having a
wide popularity among those who
knew him as 4 public speaker.

FRANCE,

Exciting events in France are an
ticipated. Napoleon's star is again
looming up, and decided reaction
in his favor is said to be in progress.
Mcmahon has eXonerated the ex-
Emperor from all blame for the dis
asters which overlook the French
armies in the late war, and the peo-
pie are clamoring for his early re-en-
thronement.

Great Fire in LoQdOlVile
LOSS, $4,000.
FIVE STORES BURNED
Four Families HouseIess!

Last night, Thursday, Loudonville
was the scene of a very destructive
tire.-The most destructive we ever
witnessed in this place. The fire
was discovered by DIR. Fuller, about
one o'clock, as he was returning
from visit of a patient in the coun-
try. The Doctor rode up and down
the streets and gave the alarm and
soon a large crowd of citizens were
at the scene Of the fire. The fire
originated in the workshop Of Leo
pold d Son. When first discover
ed the roof around the large brick
fue, which must have been defective
was in a blaze, and by the time the
citizens came together, it was use
less to try to extinguish the flames
and all joined in an effort to save
what property they could. The fire
spread rapidly to. the adjoining
buildings, and soon Leopold's Stove
& Tin store, Oppenheimer's Clothing
store and residence, Baldner's Gro
cery and residence, Uhlman's Store
and residence, Young's Grocery,
Whissemore's Art Gallery and Fred
Smiths Saloon were all in blaze.
A portion OF the goods were saved
from each Of the establishments.
Fortunately the atmosphere was
very calm and the fire did not spread
beyond the square upon which the
buildings were located. Among the
sufferers was q widow woman, Mrs.
Susan Ayers, and her daughter,wh
moyed into a part of Mr., Baldner's
house only yesterday, and lost all
their furniture, bedding and cloth
ing. Another of the sufferers was
Mr.. John Conrad who had moved
a part Of his goods into Baldner's
house, the time of the burning OF
his own building some two weeks
since, and these goods were burned
last night. The people worked no
bly, to save property, and succeeded
in saving a large portion Of the
goods. a,-Isa'.rlm 80. 5.a a.i..e.. .a',

ORRyILLE, April Sth, y:

ORRvILLE, April Sth, ~.
EDS. REPUBLICAN-We are get
ting somewhat settled down from the
terrible wrestle with old pots, ket-
ties, stovepipes, furniture &c, all
thrown. into the maelstrom which
the first of April brings to those who
are obliged to change there place of
habitation at that time. A great
many Of the renting portion of our
community have well grown weary
of this portable saw-mill style of
livlng,and have deter mined to place
their stakes for permanent tent,
and enjoy life under their own vine
and fig tree. Never did they re-
solve better.
The advent of the surveyors of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie Rail,
way line amongst us last week crea-
ted quite a pleasing diversion from
our usual monotonous course of
proceedings. They followed the
graded road bed of an old, abandon
ed route from Dalton to Fairyiew
station, and from there to Paradise,
three or four miles west of this
place, they followed the line OF the
Pittsburg. Ft, Wayne and Chicago
Road. thence across to Smithville
and Pike station, on the A. & G. w.
They will run another line passing
through the north part of this vii
lage leaving the locating committee
to select the route which presents
the least obstacle.
On Saturday evening, last, the
Wooster Maennerchor and German
choir gave convert in Evans Hall
for the benefit of the Reformed
Church in purchasing new bell, or
as expressed on the programme
"For the benefit of the Reformed
Church bell | think the good peo
pie have no idea Of reforming the
bell they have on hand by re casting
or otherwise, but to purchase new
one of far better material. Without
any punning the concert was an ex-
cellent musical treat, as attested by
a crowded house.

SPEAKS WELL.

The recent comparative statement
of the finances of this country and
Great Britain, published by the
Treasury Department, shows that,
while the receipts of the two Gov
ernments are nearly equal, the Brit
ish Government expends eighty-five
million dollars more than the United
States Government, and that the
British debt is also far larger than
ours. This speaks well for the gen.
eral integrity and economy with
which the vast concerns of the Gov
ernment,are conducted.

EoUIVocAl.

The New York Tribune fully
avows its purpose to support the
Cincinnati Convention, but intimates
that it will give no expression what
ever on the tariff. 1t also intimates
that the Convention may merely ad-
wise the Philadelphia Convention
what to door it may nominate
candidates,or may do nothing at all.
All which is rather equiyocal, as an
intimation of purpose in regard to
a great political movement.

CANNOT UNDERSTAND.

Kentuckians cannot understand
why their land, which is fertile and
conveniently situated as any in the
United States. should advance so
slowly in value. Let them rub the
mould of political ideas and insti-
tutions out of their eyes and they
will see clearly enough. Let them
kill the Ku KIux instead of the la
borers, and then Immediately estab-
lish a common school system and
they will advance fast enough.

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.

The Auditor of State and the
State Controller have presented their
quarterly report of the cash balance
in the State Treasury, at the close
of the quarter ending March 81.
Also, a statement of the stocks and
other securities deposited with the
Treasurer, and the bonds held by
the State for the use of the Agricul-
tural College. The total amount OF
the funds if $747,347 ST which
agrees exactly with the amount of
currency as counted by the examin-
ing board.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-04-11
The SITUATION.

The following words from the
Pittsburg Gazette, are worthy read
ing: Southern Democracy is chuck
ling over the condition of the Re-
publican party. 1t is thought to
be in the identical position occu-
pied by their party in 1860, which
was about equally divided be
tween Douglas and Breckenridge,
or free soil and pro-slavery Democ-
racy. If any considerable portion
of the Republican party should give
signs of going with the Liberals, :"
the Southerners would then have
some reason to chuckle over the
split, and anticipate a similar result
to that which attended the division
of the Democratic party in 1860 in
to hostile factions. But there is
nothing at all similar in the two
cases. Then, the division was the
result of a radical difference of
opinion in reference to a great prin-
ciple in National ethics, one faction
contending that slavery was a Di-
vine institution and of right should
exist everywhere, and the other, be-
lieving it a curse, thought the peo-
ple-the Sovereigns- should decide
by ballot whether it should be in
troduced into the United States ter
ritory. No principle, held by Re
publicans, is disputed by the Liber-
ais, but their detection is caused by
personal opposition to the man most
likely to be the Republican nominee
for President. They are not so
strong in numbers as the disap-
pointed admirers of John c. Ere
mont were in 1864, when they met
in Cleveland, headed by old Ben.
Wade, placed their ticket in the field.
Nor will they be longer in discov-
ering their mistake, than was the
rash faction which met in Cleveland
in 1864 bent on the defeat of Abra-
ham Lincoln. They will find, when
returning reason dawns upon them,
that they are only lending aid and
comfort to the common enemy, the
effect of which, if it have any at all,
will be to elect a man opposed to
themselves on every national prin-
ciple and policy. Surely no con-
siderable number of Republicans
will be found, who would so far de-
sert their principles, out Of person
al spleen, as to assist in the election
of a Democrat who pledged to OPP
pose those principles. A few soured
and disappointed or chagrined men
to be sure, can make a great noise,
with three of their number in the
Senate chamber, and one other at
the head of leading newspaper,
but even they, We imagine, cannot
long continue in their foolish course
without a sympathetic audience.
A man may play a hand organ every
and all day, so long as he can at
tract an audience, which shall prove
its interest in the music, by paying
well, but he would soon tire, and re-
tire in disgust, if his everlasting
grinding should only succeed in
driving every body away, ecept rag
ged and dirty faced boys without a
cent in their clothes. So it will be
with the Liberals; they will not
draw paying audience, and they
will soon grow weary of their own
jargon.

IOWA CONVENTION.

At the Iowa Republican State
Convention, resolutions were adopt
ed endorsing the administration of
L. S. Grant in the enforcement of
the laws, the faithful collection of
revenue, reduction of the public
debt, and the strengthening of the
national credit, and instructing
their delegates to the Philadelphis
Convention to vote for and use their
most earnest endeavors to secure
his nomination and that Of Hon.
James F. Wilson, of that State.

MEXICO.

The reports from Mexico indicate
that the revolution there has receiv
ed its heath blow. The rebels are
surrendering, and the various chiefs
seem to be at war among themselves
a fact which certainly precludes the
downfall of the power of the rebels.
The end of the contestis evidently
at hand. +

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.

hhode Island very quietly elected
a State ticket and Legislature on
last Wednesday. Seth Padelford.
Republican, was chosen Governor
by a majority of l,I57. The pres
ent Lieut-Governor, Pardon w. Ste
vens, was defeated forre- election by
a local quarrel, which cost him $50
votes. The remainder of the Re
publican State ticket was elected,
and the Legislature is,as usual over
whelmingly Republican. There is
no Senator to elect from Rhode Is
land this year, and no special out
side issues entered into the canvass
which has just been SO peacefully
concluded.

ON THE SAFE SIDE.

The New York Herald, which has
the reputation of trimming its sails
to the popular breeze, thus speaks
of the Connecticut election:
Connecticut establishes the fact
that the lines of the Republican
party remain unbroken around the
administration, and that the boiters
will be as powerless against the re-
election of Grant in 1872 as were
the boilers of 1882 against Jackson,
or as were the malcontents of 1864
against the reelection of Lincoln.

LIQUOR LAW.

Wisconsin's Legislature, just be-
fore adjourning, enacted liquor
law, which would In some respects
DC the best in existence, if it could
only be enforced. Section 4 pro-
vides that sit shall be unlawful in
this State for any person to become
intoxicated" and further, that any
person found drunk may be taken
in charge by any other person until
sober. AS the act reads, man may
be arrested for being intoxicated in
his own house.

COMFORTABLE PREDICTION.

We do not know when we have
read a more comfortable or less agi
tating prediction than this: AL
phonse Adhemar declares that the
earth is covered by a deluge once in
10,500 years. He reasons out in a
way which forcibly impresses us,
albeit we do not in the least com.
prehend it. All we hnow is that "a
gigantic polar glacier, by its disrup-
ton, overwhelms hemisphere and
to make matters complete, the world
is simultaneously overwhelmed at
each end. But, as this is not to
happen until A. D. 1858, We find it
impossible to get up the least excit-
ment on the subject.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-04-11
coNsoLINe.

The Cincinnati Commercial has
arrived at the solemn conclusion
that "there is a general sense that
Grant is rather a safe sort of Presi-
dent" and also that ''the worst OF
his laundering is oyer-that he has
learned and will improve" This is
exceedingly consoling.

VENTILATED.

The anti-Grant men have nothing
more to say about the sale of arms
the Custom House, or San Domingo
as all the falsehoods about these
subjects have been thoroughly ven
tilated.
