" How Long Have You Been
Here 2H

If you do not know please say
whether you intend to lay in a
stock of necessary articles for do
mestic Punishment. Certainly you
do, We would say then that you
had best go to the Dry Goods House
Of j. A. FELTON,, in this town. He
has been in the city for four or
five days looking for the choicest
assortment Of goods, especially for
this season, which will comprise of
the finest patterns. The ladies must
remember that from the intimate
connections this house enjoys with
the "Queen City" market, goods are
purchased Of the very latest styles;
and from the fact that such pur-
chases are always conducted on a
large scale by the house, and for
cash, it is not to be wondered at,
that being procured at reductions
they can be sold relatively low. We
suggest a visit to and the inspec-
tion Of the new styles at FELToN's.

Tot'l OF Lincoln $22, 500

If this statement is anywhere
near accurate, here is a case of ex-
travagance which, however small it
may seem, is plainly inexcusable.
We do not believe that President
GRANT personally asked for these
largely increased appropriations
Congress is responsible for making
them lat all events. Mr., GARFIELD,
as Chairman of the House Com
mittee on appropriations, ought to
know why he reported such an in
crease for White House expenses
at a time when the gold value Of
greenbacks is vastly greater than
in 1864. President LINCOLN got
along quite decently with what was
allowed him. There is no good
reason known to us why President
GRANT should require more than
he. The probability is that large
amount of the excess disappeared
as stealings, somewhere, before it
or it's value reached the Presidents
mansion, The accusations implied
in the above statement ought to be
fairly met, and the responsibility
for whatever is wrong in the case
should be placed where it belongs.
You cannot say the above is
a lie. We have copied it word
for word, and figure for figure
from the Times and Chronicle Of
the date above named.
We desire to know whether
you intend to vote this fall for
any GRANT Republican for any
office? This is the proper time
for you to take this matter in
to consideration.

The Modoc War.

The telegraph has given,
from time to time, long accounts
the progress, ofthe Modoc war.
1t is an expensive little game Of
hide and seek that these Indi-
ans are playing with the United
States troops. There are only
sixty warriors in the band, and
before they are caught and kill
ed--ifthey ever are--each man
of them will have cost the Unit
ed States not less than one
hundred thousand dollars. The
dirty scalps that hang at the
girdles of their Warm Spring
foes, therefore are bought with
d heavy money payment, to say
nothing of that costliest sacri-
flee Of all, the lives Of the gal

NEBRAsKA's SNOW STORM.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, April 2l.
"A special train on the B.
and M. railroad came in this
morning, the first time for a
week, The reports of the late
storm show 1t to have been the
severest ever known here.
Men were frozen to death with
in two rods of the house, while
trying to get to the stock to
feed them. Near Grafton, a
man named Keeler attempted
to reach a neighbor, scarcely
half a mile away, accompanied
by his wife and child, and the
two latter were frozen to death.
Mr.. Marshal, near Hastings,
perished while trying to reach
the stock from his house. The
wife and child of Mr.. Brent,
near Red Cloud, froze while at
tempting to reach a neighbor's
after the house was rendered
uninhabitable. Their bodies
were found on Friday, ten rods
away from the house. Fami-
lies were compelled to take
refuge in cellars Or keep their
beds for three days. Houses
were blown down and filled
with snow. The destruction of
cattle and horses was great.
Some lost all they lad. One
party lost a whole herd ofseven-
ty-five head. The gullies on
the railways were filled with
snow as hard as ice, snow
plows were useless.

HAMDEN.-This beautiful little
village, located on the Marietta &
Cincinnati Railroad, where the
Portsmouth Branch Railway inter
sects that road, seven miles from
Macarthur, thirty miles east from
Chilicothe, and flfty-six miles from
Portsmouth. tits very rapidly put
ting on the gay hmm of busy life.
Several new buildings have been
erected there during the past few
months and a large number more
will be erected during the coming
summer and fall, There has been
for some time serious want of
dwelling houses in the village, and
the consequence of this was quite
unfayorable to it's growth. Mr..
JOHN P. OLMER, the proprietor of
the Eating House at the Railroad
Depot, who has resided there about
two years, who is q live business
man and desires to see the village
improved, purchased several acres
Of land on the east side of the vii
lage, which he has laid out in lots,
and is offering for sale on the
most reasonable terms-terms that
no one can object to- Mr.. L. s.
PAYNE has also had number Of
lots surveyed and thrown into mar
ket. "Old Foggyism" is dead, and
the village begins a new and bright
life. Improvement is the order of
the day, The village is surrounded
by extensive fields of mineral
wealth, and is very beautifully To-
Gated, affording sufficient space for
good sized town. All those who
go to the place in future will find
that building lots are plenty and
can be bought unreasonable figures.
We think it would be q profitable
investment for men of means to
erect for sale or for rent q large
number Of comfortable and commo-
dious tenement houses at the earli-
est possible moment.

Irishmen of vinton County, Read!

The following is copied from
the Ashland Times, of April
10th, 1878, the Radical organ
of Ashland, Ohio:
"The Steamship City of Bristol
has sailed from Liverpool, with one
hundred farmers aboard who in
tend settling on the line of the
Pacific railroad. This is the kind
of emigration to be encouraged;
enough of belligerant, ignorant,
Irish-give us intelligent, working
Englishmen."
What do the sons of Ireland
in Vinton county think of that?
That is the way all the Radi-
Gals speak-that is the way
they feel. Now, let us ask
where were the 'bellTgerent
Irish" during the wars against
Great Britain? General WASH
INGToN once said, "no better
soldiers are found in the field
than the sons of Erin" An en-
inent English Lord said in Par
lament, in answer to a demand
for the drafting into the English
service of Irishmen for the war
against the American Colonists,
'1t is folly to attempt to send
the Irish out to fight against
the Colonists, for they would
fight for, not against them" >
'Ignorant Irish,' fOrsooth, it is
these same Englishmen that
have ground them down under
the heel Of oppression to such
an appalling extent that they
cannot rise to any measure OF
greatness in their own land,
and we thank God that Ameri-
ca can offer to them a home of
freedom; and these same men
whom the Ashland Times and
OF her Radical papers cal |
ignorant and belligerent Irish
have done very much to improve
and advance the interests OF
America, These same "bellig-
erents" did a noble part IN the
late rebellion, and have shown
themselves what England new
er did, the friends of America.
Thrice more welcome the sons
of Erin than the Englishmen
who sought to bind upon us
the same bonds of oppression
they have fastened upon Ire
land.

mmissioner Thomas. There

Commissioner Thomas. There
is, undoubtedly an almost uni
versal feeling disappointment
that these Indians have been al
lowed to escape from the troops
surrounding them, and that, in
the reports from the lava beds,
nobody appears to know where
they are, how they eluded their
enemies, nor what the future
operations of the army are to
be. The Modocs occupy the
position of the proverbial needle
in the hay-stack, and the United
States military that of the old
woman with her spectacles on
searching for it. In the mean
time the danger from the at
tacks of other Indian tribes is
daily increasing. Settlers are
moving into the towns, and a
general feeling of insecurity
prevails. Columbus Dispatch.

IT IS not yet ascertained
which Of the two political par
ties have a majority in the Con-
stitutional Convention, but we
think the Democrats and Lib
erals will have a majority of
one or two over the Radicals.
Had the Democrats and Liber-
ais of Vinton, Ross and Picka-
way counties been successful
the general result of the cleo
ton of members of the Conven-
ton would have been far differ
ent.
The Constitutional Conven-
ton meets on the second Tues
day in May, and the COnstitu-
ton will be submitted to the
people for ratification on the
second Tuesday in October
next. This is the third Con-
vention which has been called
in Ohio. The first met in 1901
and adopted the Constitution
under which Ohio was admitted
into the Union in 1902. That
Constitution lasted for half a
century, or until 1851; when a
provision was incorporated,
"That every 20 years the ques-
ton shall be submitted by the
Legislature to the peo pl e
whether they will have a con-
vention or not to revise the
Constitution In neither of
the Constitutions, 1901 or
1851, was the veto power given
to the Governor; Ohio being
an exception to all the States
in this particular.

EXPENDITURES OF THF
WHITE HOUSE UNDER
LINCOLN AND
GRANT.
$25, 500 for Lincoln and 500, 100
for Grant.

During the Presidential Cam
paign last fall, the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans COM
planned very bitterly about the
enormous sums of money which
were stolen by Government Off
ciaIs, but every Radical stump
speaker and paper endorsed the
acts of the officials, declaring
that the stealings didn't amount
to much. Among the papers
who endorsed GRANT and his Of
fetal thieves was the Cincinnati
Daily Times and Chronicle, an
afficial organ ofthis Administra-
ton. Now, this same paper
has changed its tune. In its
daily issue of April 25th, 1878,
we find the following, which
fully and satisfactorily explains
itself, and which we hope every
Radical in Vinton county, who
voted for GRANT may carefully
read and preserve for future
reference:

The Increase Salary Steal Who is
Responsible?

The man most to blame in
the Increase Salary Steal, is
President GRANT. He approv-
ed and made the salary bill a
law. He was the immediate
representative of the whole
people, and to him they looked
for the special guardianship Of
TIE United States Treasury
dis supposed efficiency and In
tegrity in this direction was
the main argument of his sup
porters before the people last
fall during the campaign, and
did more than any thing else to
secure his reelection. His ac-
ton upon the salary bill
ends all those expectations
One word of remOnstrance from
him would have prevented the
passage of the bill, and after
its passage, his veto or even
the refusal of his signature
would have killed it. But in
stead of preventing the iniquity
he declined to retire until after
2 o'clock on the night OF its
passage, at which late hour
Congress passed the bill; the
last legal hours of that body
He was anxious to consummate
it SO as to make sure of a hund-
red thousand dollars additional
into his own pocket, and
despoiling the people of almost
two millions of dollars more
Instead of closing the door Of
the Treasury, he opened it.
AS this Increase Salary Steal is
receiving considerable atten-
ton, we propose putting it in
it's true shape, so that those
who voted for GRANT and Rad
ical Congressman last fall can
look upon it:
l The Republicans were large
ly in the majority when the bill
was passed.
2 Being in a majority, the Re
publican party could have prevented
it's passage.
3 GRANT was elected by the
Republican party.
4 GRANT, the Republican Presi-
dent, could have Uetoed the bill af-
ter its passage by a Republican
Congress, but, to fill his own purse,
failed to do it.
5 A Republican Congress and
a Republican President, having it
in their sole power, made the lar
as it stands to day on the statute
books.
6 The Republican party Is there
fore responsible. 1t can neither
shift, nor evade the responsibility.
The Globe, gives the history of the
debates and proceedings of Con
gress, has oflicily recorded it,
There stands ''the scarletlet-
ters" of guilt and. shame making
authentic proclamation to the world
of the paternity Of the legitimate
monster.
