ED. SPIRIT: avail myself, according
to promise, of this opportunity of
writing, thinking that perhaps few
more lines from this place would be Of
some interest to your numerous readers
The farmers in this neighborhooG
have commenced saving and stringing
their tobacco, and although their pros,
poets are not very hattering, still thev
move forward with vim and energy to
"save the little leaves" The hard and
labcrious task of threshing is about
done up in this vicinity and the average
wheat crop is estimated at about II
bushels per acre, which is far better
than was anticipated.
The old time honored SPIRIT OF De
MocRAcY is highly appreciated through
this section of country, and is consid-
cred Ivy ali who read it to be one of the
best country papers published in Eas-
tern Ohio, containing all the market re.
ports, and business transactions of the
county, which is just what the laeorine
class of Old Monroe want.
Will some one of your many county
correspondents please inform me
through the columns of THE SPIRIT
whether coal ashes is fertilizer fol

The Culored Convention,

The following is the material point
of the platform adopted by the Negroes,
at their State Convention, in Chilicothe,
on the 22d:
"Resolued, That VIC, the colored' vo-
ters of the State of Ohio, in Convention
assembled, do protest against the unjust
discrimination toward us by the repre-
sentatives Of the party whom we aid in
securing official position.
"Resolred, That the colored voters of
this State do not consider themselves
under eternal obligations to party
which favors US as class, only in pro
portion as it is driven by its own neces
stiles. Il
"ResolUed, That the colored men Of
the State are hereby urged to refrain
from unconditional pledeing themselve:
to the nominees of their local Conven
tions, and that they use their best dis.
elimination in determining. for them
selves, in each locality, whom ITO vote
for" BE ~ sc e
No ticket was nominated, of course
A resolution to endorse GRANTS admin
istration was shelved, Notwithstanding
the presence of GRANTS Negro officials
The one single fact made apparent by
the Convention is, that the '..colored
brethren" are very hungry for office.

Death of John II. neaton.

With profound sorrow we chronicle
the death of JOHN H. HEAroN, Esq,
the st. Clairsyille Gazette. The par
ticulars of his death will be found in
the subjoined letter which we copy from
the Barnesville Enterprise.
As an editor Mr.. HEAToN was one OF
the most highly esteemed in the State
He was endowed with fine social quail
ties which gave him very extensive
acquaintance, and made him host oil
warm friends.
He was member of good standing
of the Presbyterian church, and Ma.
son of high rank.
ST. CLAIRsyILLE, Aug. 25, 1878.
Mr. EDIroR: The people of oul
town received q shock of sadness to
their feelings, which by this time has
doubtless extended itself on the wings
of sympathy far away, when on Satur.
day last the word went from house to
house that John II. Heaton soas dead
At first we doubted, ,as we had not heard
that his illness was considered danger
Gus, bnt it was, alas, too true.
He took sick on Thursday evening
with disorder of the stomach and
bowels-to which, kind of attack he ha.
been subject for some time-becam,
much worse Saturday evening and dice
about ten o'clock. The loving husband
and father, the active citizen, the atten
tive journalist, the kind and genial com
panion, closed his eyes to. all thi
worlds varied scenes of enjoyment ant
of sorrow to open them in anothe
sphere of existence.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon at five. Thus soon, of necessity
1t was large assemblage- the larees
for this sad duty I've ever seen in 81
Clairsville.
Rev Alexander conducted the servi
ces at the house, remarking truthful
and feelingly upon the loss this com
munity has suffered, and administering
words of kind coincidence to the grief
stricken family. =
Then the Masons having come fror
their Hall in procession, took charge G
the mortal part of their deceased broth
er, AMI set ont to attend it upon its las
| pilgrimage. The carriages, filled wit
relatives and friends, followed the Ms
sonic fraternity, making in all a yer
long train-"sable and slow paced,"-
Of those who thus wished to do homo
to the dead and show their heartfe
sympathy with the living. B.

Expensive omcial Excursion.

'sIt is stated that Allen G. Rutherford,
Third Auditor, and three Clerks-two
from the Treasury and one from the
War Department-recently made trip
to California and Oregon to compare the
rolls on file in the Department with the
retained rolls of the officers, as a pre-
limlnary to paying the employees in
charge of certain engineers the amount
due them under the act of Congress ma
king eight hours days labor; that the
amount paid on these rolls was S235 95,
while the actual cost to the United States
of the excursion taken by these gentle
men was exactly 81, 100 40 each, or S4,.
40I 60 altogether"
These things were done during
GRANTS first term; during the contest
for a second term the people were told
by MORTON & Co. to elect GRANT and
the most rigid economy and honesty
would be the rule. The thieving and
peculation is thousand times worse
now than four years since. The remedy
is wi h the people, at the ballot-box.
