Going Back on the 'Cullud
Voters.

voters.
The Radicals of Circleville
met one day last week to
place a municipal ticket in
nomination. After making
nominations for all the Offices,
and not paying the least atten-
tion to the ''rights Of the down
trodden race" it became nee
essary to select a candidate
suitable to boss the white Rad,
icals on the public highway,
which the same is known as
Street Commissioner. The
poor Africans concluded that
they would "go in and win" III
the nomination of Street Com
missioner. They announced
the most popular newly made
voter in their ranks. The white
RAIDS pitched in too. Each side
had a man before the Conven-
ton. A white Radical said:
at won't do to let that ID
get on the ticket" Then
there was lots of fun, The
white RAIDS stuffed the ballot
box in q style that ought to
shame even the Radical ballot
box suffers of Philadelphia.
The result was, the "cullud"
voter was defeated. One white
Rad even boasted that he put
six tickets in the hat against
the "d-d nigger."

While,at Zaleski. last Thurs

Whileat zAleski, last Thurs
day, we formed tile acquaiut-
ance with Mr.. G. G. Clark, of
that place, but formerly a resi-
dent Of Parkersburg. Mr..
Clark IS a first class carpenter
and builder of many years ex-
perience, and we wish to call
the attention of the public to
the fact that he is prepared to
do all kinds of carpentering
and building promptly and in
a style of workmanship not to
be excelled by any one in this
part Of the country, and at low
charges. Those desiring to
build should consult with him.

as President was General Grant
before he threw the weight ol
his Presidential Office in favor
of the monied interest of the
country, The Greenback idea'
which had helped him to thou
sands and thousands of votes
especially in the West, was not
accorded the slightest favor.
Out of the financial policy
that President Grant had in
augurated, and which he has
thus far carried forward with
a firm hand, has grown the
present depression in business
among mechanics and
laboring men.
Had Mr.. Seymour been
it would have been diff

constrained to give the PendIe

To come right down to fact
that are pereeptible on ever.
hand:
WAre our merchants, mechan
les and laborers-we dom
mean individual instances, but
we refer to them in mass--as
busily and as profitably engag'
ed as they were four years ago,
before General Grant was vo'
ted for and elected to the Pres
idency?
Do the poor and the COM
paratively poor find themselves
as full handed with money as
they did four years ago?
Do they have as much work
as they had four years ago?
Do they get as good wages
for their work as they did four
years ago?
Can they lay as much by for
a rainy day as they did four
years ago?
Are they able to buy as
many comforts, not to say any
thing about the luxuries, Of
life, as they were four years
ago?
Must not their families scrape
and scrimp more than they had
to four years ago?
Here is the touchstone by
which to try the question,
whether it makes any difference
to the mass of the voters which
party is in power.
We don't claim that the
prosperity of the country four
years ago was equal to the de-
serving of our people; but we
do claim that it was very much
greater than it is now.
Five years ago, Mr.. Pendle'
ton, with the sagacity of a
statesman, which he is, saw
that there was a disposition
among the politicians who rule
in the Republican party, to
too rapidly contract the circu'
lating medium of the country,
and he foresaw that this con-
fraction, with the immense pub
lie debt hanging over the people
and exacting yearly heavy tri-
butte from! them, would newt.
ably PROSTATE prosperity and
stay the band of driving en-
terpriSe, and he advocated, with
vigorous zeal, the adoption of
a financial policy that would
have prevented an undue con-
traction Of the currency.
So sound did that policy
seem, that the Republican
State Convention early in 1868
substantially affirmed its cor
rectnesg and the Republican
National Convention that year,
which nominated General
Grant for the Presidency, SO
framed Its platform as to adj
nit of a dual construction-as
in favor Of the Greenback pol
icy and against it
Although Mr.. Seymour had
made a speech antagonizing
the Greenback policy, he yet
was put in nomination for the
Presidency on Platform that
unequivocally recognized it,
This was an anomaly SO great
that it awakened distrust in the
minds of many of the people,
and they turned to Grant and
gave him their support, be.
lieving that under his admins.
tration their interests would be
better conserved than under
that Of Mr.. Seymour.

A Curious Forgery.

A curious case of forgery has Just
come to light, wherein Judge Lewis,
Territorial Judge of Idaho, was de.
prived of his office several months ago.
Judge Lewis's resignation was received
at the Attorney-General's office, and af
ter few days was accepted. lie had
many warm friends in high official posi-
tons, but as the act was voluntary they
con ceived that it was no business of
theirs TO interfere. A successor was,
therefore, appointed by the President,
and confirmed by the Senate at the last
session. The news of the confirmation
OF his successor was received by Judge
Lewis with amazement, and he at once
applied to the President, to the Attor-
ney-General, and to his influential
friends, to know why he was removed.
HIS friends Replied that he having
rendered his resignation, there was
nothing left but for the President to
appoint his successor. After writing
backward and forward several times, it
was discovered that the Judges letter
of resignation had been forged. The

Drilling Chinese Soldiers.

The Shanghai NeOs is responsible for
the statement that the Chinese govern
ment has decided upon employing
Prussian drill instructor for drilling a
body of Chinaman at the arsenal. The
words of command are, it is said, to be
in German, because the instructor does
not speak Chinese; and for the same
reason the native troops in the neigh
borhood of Shanghai will be drilled in
English and French. Of course, it must
not be expected that Chinese soldiers
understand all these languages, but
then, as the words of command are to
be given it is better that. the instructors,
who are ignorant of the Chinese Ian.
guage, should say something than
nothing, or only drill the troops by
signs, like the dumb. In this way, it is
thought that the Chinese soldiers will
learn three European languages and the
foreign military art at one and the same
time. This is truly economizing time
and utilizing foreign experiments at
little cost

Improved Massacre.

A new guillotine has lately been in
troduced by M. Heinrich, Executioner-
General of Paris. M. Heinrich, who is
very humane man, thought it was
cruel TO force criminals to go some dis
lance from their cells, and then climb
flight of stairs to be killed, and his new
machine is SO arranged that there is no
platform to ascend. The condemned
no sooner emerges from the prison than
he is thrown down on the planks, Sc
cured, and his neck thrust under the
knife, which is made heavier and
broader than before. But the first APP
plication of the new machine was not
successful, as the victim, after being
tossed under the knife, contrived to
get his head loose. and to scream aloud
until he was again secured, and the
knife fell.

An UnrepOrted Conversation.

During the Grand Duke Alexiss
walks through the Bridgeport cartridge
factory the other day, he pointed to
several workingmen and inquired of
Governor Jewell, "Are these men what
you call the common people?" The
Governor replied that they were fair
specimen of the working classes in
this country. "But do you mean to
say that these get into official posi-
tions?" further asked the imperial
scion. perhaps not any of these men,"
rejoined Governor Jewell "but men of
their class do they are educated men,
most of them-that is, they can all
probably read and write, and most of
them take and read the newspapers"
Z" Do you know of any cases where
such men have actually been elected to
office ?" again queried the curious
Alexis. 40 certainly" the Governor
said "A" myself, worked in the shop as
tanner till was twenty years of ages"
and the announcement seemed TO puz-
zle the Duke a good deal. Here was
the Governor Of a State, as well dressed
and as well appearing as himself, who
had actually worked in a shop, and
this man was welcoming him in behalf
of hundred thousand voters; it was
more of an enigma than the boy had
ciphered on previously; but as he goes
through the country he will ascertain,
upon inquiring, that very many of the
public men here have come direct from
the workshop. In Massachusetts,, where
he is now visiting, Governor Clahin was
shoemaker Senator Wilson was a cob
bier also, and General Banks was
