Seneca w. Ely has the following in his


paper, the Still Water Valley Gazette:
In one of our recent trips, we had the
| pleasure of journeying with the distin-
guished Senator from Indiana, Ex-Gover-
nor Morton, under circumstances which
afforded good opportunity for converse
ton and observation He was returning,
accompanied by his wife and little son,
'Olly," from Colorado. The party had
been at the Hot Springs, Ark, where the
great Senator had been singularly bene-
| flied by the waters; but we understand,
his subsequent sojourn in Colorado had
| not proven so recuperatiYe. He moved
about with the Use Of cane in each
hand, in consequence of the shaking of
the car; but we understood but sim
| gle staff was sufficient, when walking
Senator Morton had rapidly recovered
from his paralytic or rheumatic tenden-
cies since we had last seen him, in Sep
tember last, His conversation was as
animated and engaging as ever. A serious
almost melancholy expression pervaded
his countenance, evidently the result of
physical suffering. His health appeared
good, Notwithstanding the fatigue of
long journey. Since our last interview
with Gov. Morton, he has been in Wash
ington, attending to his duties as chair
man of important committees and his
greatly-bettered health is the subject of
gratulation among his friends. His
lease of life, to all human appearance
is as sure as anybody's 1t is almost GER
tain that Gov. Morton will be preferred,
by his political friends in various parts
of the country as their candidate for the
next Presidency, if life and health are
spared him. 1t is not too much to say,
that he stands ''head and shoulders as
a statesman, above any other man who is
likely to be named in that connection, by
the Republicans. His course, as Cover
nor of Indiana, and as United States SEN
ator, stands untainted and unimpeached
There is no stain of Credit Mobilier, or
extra back pay about him. From the
time he first loomed up to public view as
a leading statesman, his enlarged, nation
al, liberal, comprehensive status has COM
nended him to all observers of his politi-
cal school While he denies that Presi-
dent Grant himself gives any the slight
est countenance to the third term idea,
Senator Morton is very liable to be pre-
ferred, in 1876, for a first term.
Senator Morton, as Governor of Indi-
ana during the war, had no superior in
loyal States. His executive ability is of
the very highest order. No better man
could be selected by the Republicans as
their candidate for President in 1876.
Thousands upon thousands will go to
hear Senator Morton at Athens on Satur-
day next.

why. in my opinion, liquor laws cannot

why. in my opinion, liquor laws cannot
be enforced.
My Prohibition friends. have much to
say about license, and they appear to be
as ignorant about this as about the liquor
question generally. Even Mr.. Scott
claimed that the State of Ohio is granting
licenses to sell liquor, when that has been
prohibited by the State Constitution for
more than twenty years. Our friends
appear to think that if the lidnor seller
is taxed, it makes his trade legal Not
at all. The laws of the United States say
that retail dealers in liquor shall pay
twenty-five dollars. But no license is
given, saying that he has legal right to
sell The Collector merely gives him a
receipt showing that he has paid the
money. The State can wholly prohibit
the sale, and the sellers receipt from the
General Government will not help him.
This tax raises large amount of reve-
nue., and no doubt checks to some extent
the amount sold 1t is a tax merely-a
fine if you please. Our State law, and
an ordinance in jackson, say that if a
man gets drunk he shall pay five dollars.
Does that license him to get drunk, or
make it lawful to get drunk? Let the
State say to the liquor seller, it is crime
to sell liquor. and you must pay into the
county treasury one hundred dollars il
you sell, and also be liable for all DANA
ges arising from such sale. Does that
differ from saying to the man who steals
chicken you must pay one hundred
dollars fine?
intended to explain to Mr.. Scott the
reason why the bonds given by the keep
ers of rooms appear to be worthless, and
several other matters which appear to be
obscure to the Prohibitionists; but l
must defer it until another time.

The dificultY with brother Mackley's

The difficulty with brother Mackley's S
mail matter is stated to us by P. o.
official, to be simply this! The agents on
the C. a. H. V. R. R. and on the main
line of the M. & c. railroad send
mail for Jackson, Portland, ETC., in pack
ages marked Portsmouth, which the
route agent does not open. This will
account for that part of the difficulty
Portsmouth, Republican,
That may all be true; but will that P
O. official please state to the Republican
why he took a letter of ours to Ports
mouth and back when it was mailed at
Berlin2 Did the Postmistress at Berlin
put it in package marked Portsmouth ?
Let US know who is to blame.

The present term of Judge Hastings
soon expires From conversation with
an individual of Jackson county, we
learn that there is decided preference
there fo- his retention He has filled the
position with satisfaction to all we have
heard from T. Cherington, our present
successful prosecutor, is also spoken of
for the place.-Ironton Commercial.
We can say to the Commercial that
Judge Hastings has rendered universal
satisfaction in this county in his official
capacity, and our people, regardless of
party, are unit for his continuance in
Office

gust 7th, at the Legler House, by the
Rev. D. Trueman, DR.. James, j. johnson,
of California, Pike county, and Adela
Strope, of Jackson.
We find the above in the Portsmouth
Times. They tell good joke on our old
friend, DR.. johnson. They say that when
he was around atnohg the widows he
said he was only forty years of age. He
must have married young, as he has some
half dozen great grand children.

Resolved, That this Convention, repre-
senting the Republicans of Washington
county, denounce all members of the late
Congress who voted for the act ihcreas-
ing salaries; especially do we denounce
all those who have received, or may yet
receive the back pay; and we demand
the immediate repeal of the entire
grab act
The above is one of the resolutions
passed by the Republican convention in
Washington county, held at Marietta
short time ago The scoundrels who
have the stolen money will after while
believe what we told one of them in May
last-that all honorable men will loathe
them worse than if they had the leprosy.

The Democratic platform, which says
that the party has principles suited to
all times and circumstances, now says
that the party insists upon equal and ex-
act justice to all men,. How long has it
been since the party held that colored
men had no rights which white men
were bound to respect2 How long since
the party had half a million rebels under
arms fighting for the right to buy and
sell men like cattle 2

The Republican State Convention has
been held in Pennsylvania, and here is
one of the resolutions passed:
ResoIcsd, That we condemn without
reserve voting for or receiving increased
pay for services already rendered, whether
in the State or nation, and demand that
the provisions of the late act of Congress,
by which salaries were increased, should
promptly and Internationally be re-
nea1ed.

Senator Aliens nomination will call to
the polls thousands of Democrats who
have not taken any part in the elections
for the last ten years.-Hocking Sentinel.
We suppose the Sentinel must refer to
those Democrats who were killed in put
ting down the pro-slayery rebellion. They
are the only Democrats except Allen,
who have not taken any part in elections
for the last ten years. And Allen is
about as dead as any of them.

We have received a copy Of the Osborne
Times, published at Osborne City, Kan

of DR.. j. S, Reasoner of this place. If

The Democratic platform is a bundle
of inconsistencies. 1t sets out by saying
its principles are suited to all times and
circumstances. 1t then says that it op-
poses notification and secession. 1t did
not talk after that fashion dozen years
ago, when it was engaged in a nullifca-
ton and secession war upon the Govern

The Democratic platform speaks of the
"time ,honored Democratic banner"
What banner is that? Does it mean the
rebel stars and bars? Or does it mean
the white flag with the goose upon it,
carried by the Jackson county Democ-

DR.. 1. T. Monahan, the candidate of the
party in this county for Representative,
an explicit answer to the above questions.

Chicago, Ill, July, 10th. 1872.
j. NJ. Miller.-Dear Sir. in Reply to
yours of July Sth, have to say that, 1
have written the Sixteenth Resolution of
the Philadelphia Platform. and that
it was adopted by the platform Commit
tee with the full and explicit understan-
ding that its, purpose was the discounte-
nancing of all So called Temperance"
(Prohibitory) and Sunday laws. This
purpose was meant to be expressed by
reference to those rights of the people
which had not been delegated to either
National, or State Governments; it be-
ing assumed that the right to drink
what one pleases, being responsible for
all acts committed under the influence
of strong drink), and the right to look
upon the day on which Christians have
their Prayer meetings as any other day,
were, among the rights not delegated by
the people, but reserved to themselves.
whether this explanation of the mean
ing of the resolution will satisfy you or
not, do not know, But as you want to
