THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST
Our Next Congressman

It is not worth while to wait
long for munitions of war when
we have all we need, and the
enemy is before us. A formal
order will come after awhile to
open the campaign. We pro.
pose to begin now. Hard tack
is all the supplies we have or
need, and hard fighting the fun
we propose for ourselves and
Others concerned.
We have the grandest field
in Ohio in which to muster our
forces and to battle for the
right.
There is very little broad
cloth and mighty few bonds in
all these regions reaching from
the Hooking to the Ohio. We
have a population Injured to
hardship. and delighting in in
dustry. We have no loafers
and idlers ready to be bought
or bribed, all are workers, and
men independent and free.
We have NO paternal acres in
which laziness may find rest or
refuge. We are the owners of
the soil by right subjugation,
and the homes, brave hearts
and clear minds of our people
as the very rocks stand witness
Of our title.
We would not exchange a
single green hill for any plain
between this and the Pacific.
This grand district of hills,
this home Of honest toll, this re-
gion Of industry ought to be
fifty represented in the next
Congress of the United States.
In selecting the candidate, the
people should have something
to do with the matter, and not
as heretofore, accept a repre-
sentative at the mere dictation
of a party clique, Too long
have those good counties below
us bent their necks to the yoke
of an unheeding majority
There may be a time not far
distant when deliverance will
be easy and the burthens light.
Good old Gallia is ripe for ref.
orm alton, Jackson has memo.
ries that will yet frighten even
Mackley, and Lawrence will
not long lag behind. We do
not wish to dictate who shall
be the next candidate for Con
gress from this district Lo>
gan Sentinel.
Neither do we wish to die.
tate, but we do not think it is
out of place to say that Hon.
Wells A. Hutchins, of Scioto
county, would beat any man
the Radicals can place in the
field.

Ignorance and Eggs.
EpIroR INQUIRER:

Ignorance anu Eggs.
EDITOR ENQUIRER;
AS events transpire in the
midst of life, we are sometime;
not agreeably surprised to see
men Of whom we expect better
things, stoop to the level of un
priucipled blackguards and un
cultivated rutfians. A scene
occurred a few weeks since
not twelve miles from Near
thur, at or near n church of the
Radical Methodist order, which
deserves a passing notice, that
public judgment may be rem
dered according to the indig
nation that every right minded
man should feel.
The minister-in-charge Of
said church being well educa-
ted, a man Of culture, talents
and an unblemished reputation.
so far as any one in the com
munity knows, incurred the
displeasure of a majority of the
church goiugpeople to whom
he fed the bread Of eternal
life, by what they considered
errors in religious, views and
matters of taste.
He preached religion Of
principle instead of fashion OF
feeling, (Which is not exactly
orthodox in the Methodist
Church. and to add to the de-
parture, he used notes to aid
in systemizing his sermons, but
worst of all he had no taste fol
fruit preserved in sorgum mo.
lasses but was exceedingly fond
of sugar in coffee. According
ly as evening service was over
it being quite dark, as he was
going to his lodging, he was
attacked in the rear by the
cowardly rufians who spen
the will Of their brains anC
their physical powers in throw
ing eggs at the man, whom, t.
weigh intellectually, woul(
throw to the wall as many such
ours as could stand on a forty
acre farm. The caliber of tht
guns being small and the pow
der too musty for a decent maj
to use, the eggs fell compare
lively harmless to the. ground
but considering the pattern o
the blunderbuss, the devil sho
well. There has been preach
ing at this church some TWEEN
ty years, yea, for twenty Ions
years, this church-going com
munity has been vibrating be
tween sunshine and shade, anC
now when it is all simmere(
down, the fruit therof, insteaC
of being golden shenves for the
eternal harvest, is all seen anC
told in that dirty depth whel
and where the good man was
egged. When a church ha,
lost its moral influence, tht
light should be blown out, the
candlestick taken away, a .blacl
monument set up, bearing the
words: | was taken from my
place because I was making
the wrong port.

WHAT COMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTIONS
ARE WoRTn.-The Hartford correspon-

noticing a local case OF embezzlement,
says:
A current story in this connection is
that some years since teller in pros.
porous bank resigned his position to re.
tire toa farm which he had purchased
and stocked by his savings. AS he was a
trusted and much esteemed officer, the
directors passed complimentary fesolu.
tions to his worth and voted him hand.
some present The day after his receipt
OF the gift, he summoned q meeting Of
the directors, and after thanking them
warmly for their remembrance, and as.
surfing them that, deeply sensible of
their confidence, he would repose simi.
lar confidence in them, confided to them
that he had for years been in the habit
OF speculating with the funds OF the bank,
but fortunately, with such success that he
always replaced them; and now stated the
fact simply that precautions might be
taken against similar course on the part
of his successor. tgELlys 's.t5I

NEW ORLEANS.


New ORLEANS, March 5.-Thc Execu.
tive and Judicial conflict continues.
Judge Coaley ordered Van Norden re.
arrested this morning and brought before
him. About11 o'clock the sheriff brought
Van Nortlen in, when Judge Coaley de-
livered lengthy discourse upon the
action Of the Governor yesterday in par.
doning the prisoner and attempting 10
defeat the ends Of Justice, in which he said
that il the Governor were TO be permitted
to exercise such functions, we might rs
well abolish the Courts entirely, for there
could be no execution against person
who might be fortunate enough TO have
ne Governor TO back him. The Cover
nor more than any one else ought TO re:
spect and uphold the DEGREES of the
Courts, for he was one Of them. As an
Executive member in this case he has
so far forgotten his duty rs not
only not to assist in the execution Of
the law, but he has conspircd to defeat
it. Such conduct cannot be tolerated in
any country where laws arc respected,
and it must be put down. What makes
the matter still worse, is that 1t is well
known that the Governor is alleged TO be
u party 10 tho very oyit out of which ihis
matter has arisen, although he has kept
in the. background, and he attempts 10
shield from harm those who have been
working in his interest. Therefore charge
the Sheriff TO convey Mr.. Van Notden 10
the parish prison, there to be confined
according 10 -the terms of the original
sentence, and l will hold tho Sheriff re.
sponSiblc under the act Of 1888, for the
proper execution Of this order.
Van Norden Is again in the parish
nrison. .-.,.. .

The Campaign in New Hampshire

The Campaign in New Hampshire.
The situation in New Hampshire is
thus summed up by the C2eceEand Herald.
The fight IN New Hampshire is carried
on with much vigOr by both sides and the
result is exceedingly doubtful. Each
party is doing its utmost, and neither ex-
presses confidence in achiveing success.
The unexpected victory won by the De-
mocracy Inst Spring nerves them TO unus-
nal efforts, whilst the Republicans are
sparing no eXertion TO restore the State TO
its old Republican status. A peculiar
feature OF the contest Is that each asserts
what effect success would have on the
other party, and denies for itself what is
absorbed To- 1t. Thus the Democrats
say II Republican success means the reno.
minatiOn orGrant, which the Republicans
deny; whilst the Republicans assert that
n Democratic success means coming to
the front Of the old rebel leaders, which
the Democrats deny. The decision will
be made on Tuesday, the 18th instant,
and whichever way it goes, will have
considerable effect on the summer com.
paign, especially il seconded by the vote
of Connecticut. 'N'
