WE don't know which to admire
most in the Mobilier press, their i'm
pudence or their utter disregard of
truth. For instance, the Coshocton
Age, in its attempt to get rid of the
rascalIy salary grab, is trying to make
its readers believe that it was owing
to the Democrats that it was passed.
Our impression has all along been
that the Republican party had large
majority IN both branches of Con-
gress, and how the minority can be
made responsible for this rascally act,
is beyond our ken. 1t is true a num-
Der of Democrats voted for the law,
but they will never more be heard of,
for the Democrats do not re-elect such
fellows. They may deceive us once,
but never the second time. But how
is it with our Mobilier friends? Do
they get rid of their leaders who de-
ceive them2 Let us see. Bingham
and Shellabarger took the grab, and
they ara rewarded by appointments to
high and lucrative positions. by the
President, who is indorsed by their
platform.
Grant took the grab, and he is the
Grand Mogul and altogether lovely"
Butler engineered the grab through,
and he will be rewarded by high
Office.
Of the two hundred and one Re-
publicans in Congress, all have taken
the grab but twenty five.
Garfield, who voted for the grab,
and refuesd to take it, will stump the
State for the Republican party.
Hodge, who stole $45Q,0O0 from the
gOEernment, has been pardoned by
Grant.
General Howard, who said to be
100000 in arrears, is defended by the
Mobilier press, and so on.
Is it any wonder that the rascals
occupy the highest positions when
backed by the administrator, -CO-
sItocton Democrat.

The fall terms of the District school
at the, center of ShaIersvillerunder the
superintendent of P. B. Tomson,
closed a fifty days session on Saturday
last. notwithstanding the hard name
the school has previously borne, we
are pleased to say that a reformation,
has been made, and the schooLin good
conduct and behavior, stands,an shall
continue to stand, second to none in
the county. The average attendance
the past term has been eighty per
cent. of the numb ber enrolled, and all
have shown desire to learn which is
creditable to older minds. The old
academy, in which the past term has
been taught was purchased by the
district some time since. The lower

ranged for that purpose, will be ocou-

Il becomes my painful duty {

Special Correspondence ct the PgEsS
Il becomes my painful duty this
week to report the death ofOne of our
most estimabie young men. Michael
CriquI was brought home from Cuya-
hoga Falls, where he has been work
ing, sick of typhoid fever. The poor
fellow suffered with the most excru-
tiating pains for about two weeks,
till death released him from his suf-
ferings last Sunday morning. lie was
tWenty-four years old on the Goth of
August, and died on the 3lst of the
same month. The family are doubly
bereaved, as tits only six months since
the death of his father. The general
character of Michael Criqui was that
of sober, industrious, and well be-
haved boy. The neighbors are very
sorry for his loss. The funeral SER
vices were performed by Father Kahn
at the Catholic Church in Randolph,
with grand solemnity befitting the
occasion.
Threshing with our farmers is GO
ing on briskly, but we are not so en-
thusiastic as we were this time last
year, as the crop don't turn out near
so well. However, there are some
who get very good average. John
Knapp Sen. got thirty-two bushels of
wheat per acre, and several got twen-
ty-five; but the township will not av-
erage over fifteen bushels per acre. l
suppose, .withal, we are in better
condition than many other townships
of the county, as grain is selling at
fair price, and we got what might be
considered fair average crop, and al
most all of US got sufficient hay and
grain secured to winter our stock
We get some reports from the north
ern and eastern townships of the
county that are very discouraging to-
wit: A very light crop of hay, dread
full ravages of grasshoppers, scarcity
of pasture, and an awful sacrifice of
cattle. If it is SO, we deeply sympa-
thlze with our neighboring townsmen.
hope some of the correspondents of
the PRESS from the above parts will
write the true state of affairs, and en-
tighten us on the subject.
We are making some improvements
in Sufield. Jacob NeWbauer and
Jno. Smith have each built dwelling.
which improves the appearance of the
Center. John Zero, Jun, is erecting
what appears to be a very pretty
dwelling house one-half mile east Of
the Center. Nicholas Pero built a
very fine dwelling house this season,
and several others, which 1 have not
noticed.
Two strangers were arrested Sept
4th, and taken before Esquire Martin,
charged with entering and robbing
the house of Jacob Grohe. I am un-
able to give the particulars.

Correspondence
Change follows change in rapid
succession; as in the seasons SO in
temperature and everything else ac-
cording to its nature. From the pres
ent standpoint the Farmers Associa-
ton has been brought to a dead set.
This was brought about by some
who wish to hold the lines and drive
all things at the same time. The over
throw of the one opened the way for
grand opening of a Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry on Saturday
evening.
A notice of the organization will
be found elsewhere in our columns.
Ed.
But few farmers have yet COM
menced to sow their wheat, fearing
the raVages of the grasshopper and
the small black cricket. Some are in
tending to sow more ground than
usual.
Wheat threshing has commenced
and some Is yielding well. E. c.
Myers, from 80 acres, had 96 bushels.
w. r. Clark, from two acres, had 4S
bushels.
The corn crop will be very light
Oats also very light.
The potato crop it is thought will
be small, from light planting, if for no
other reasan.-
1t is thought apples will yield about
a family supply.
The sale of farm last Friday has
created much surprise. Mrs. Mary
G. Wilder sold her farm of 100 acres
to c. Andrews for $50 per. acre.

radical change in this matter as do we,
and they cannot be expected to be so
deeply interested.
There are a few instances, though
rare. of instructors who have assumed
this power, and not only checked their
pupils in their rapid career, but placed
some OF them two grades back of the
point at which they were found yet
these teachers gave the best satisfac-
ton. IF we are convinced that JUS
tice to all concerned demands that the
teacher should exercise the promoting
power, is it not each ones duty TO as
sumo the responsibility as we'll as the
blame, despite the frowns and male
dictions such 3 course will provoke !?
And acting fearlessly according to
our convictions of duty, always hav-
ing in view the best interests of our
pupils, a reformation will surely be
effected

WHEN Fremont attempted to make
the late war war to free the slave,
he was rebuked and presently re-
moved by q Republican Administra-
ton. Even in 1868 the Republican
party was not in favor OF making the
war war for the abolition Of slavery.
Walls of unintelligent wrath are
poured out upon the head of Hon.
William Allen for entertaining the
same opinions with the majority of
the Republican party. Garrison, who
believed the Constitution to be
covenant with death and a league
with hell, and Phillips, who would
not practice law or vote under the
Constitution of the United States,
and few of their followers, were the
only men in the country who would
not come under the present condem-
nation of the Radicals.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN HAvANA.-A
cable dispatch dated September 7th !:
says; Last night square of build
ings known as Plaza Vapor was re-
duced to ashes. The fire broke out
simultaneously in four corners of the
square, and is supposed to have been
the work of incendiaries. The loss
is estimated at $S,0OO,OOO. 1t is re-
ported that twenty lives were lost
The scenes around the burning square
were terrible. Parents threw their
children from balconies to save them
from the flames.

How to get rid of the hack-pay
swag is giving an immense amount
of trouble to some of the virtuous
Dongressmen, Treasurer spinner has
written letter in which he says: 81
81 doubt whether the covering in of
this money without consideration and
WITHOUT legal authority or warrant of
law, will place it beyond the reach of
parties to whom it legally belongs. l
think it could be reclaimed at any
time hereafter in several ways and
even on 3 mere statement of an ac-
count by the depositor or by his heirs
at-laW against the United States for
moneys had and received. 1t is pos
sible that you might do so yourself
by your last will and testament, stat
ing as a consideration the love and
affection you bore your native land"
So it seems that the only way in
which a Congressman pan exhibit his
patriotism and shake off this pollu-
ton is before he dies to make his will
renouncing all right, title and interest
of himself, his heirs, executors, ad-
ministrators and assigns to the plum
der. Otherwise it will simply remain
on deposit subject to the order OF
Congressman at any time while they
live or of their heirs when they are
dead.

Tweodlsm Cropping Out Again.

New York, Sept. 5.-An analysis
of the municipal finances presented
by Comptroller Green, in his annual
report, shows that the permanent debt
of this city is increasing with fright
full ,rapidity, and that taxes and as
sessments, enormous as they are, are
totally inadequate to meet the charges
against them. The receipts from taxes
and the income of the past year were
$50, ,250,0 900, and the amount expended,
$50, 100000.

of Cleveland in regard to the man
agement of some of their city affairs
has been brought to close though
the committee has not yet made its
report. The evidence taken before
the committee has been reported and
published in the several papers of the
city, and cannot fail to convince every
one that there has been vast amount
of peculation and pilfering of the
public funds, and that the municipal
government of the Forest City under
Radical management has been about
as corrupt as other institutions under
the control of the party possessing all
the piety, purity and patriotism Of

SENATOR MORTON, in his Athens
speech, thqs rebukes the Republican
papers which have denounced the
Congressman who voted for the sala-
ry grab as thieves. The Senator said !:
1t is the greatest injustice to say
that the members of the Forty.second
Congress who voted for the back
pay have been guilty of stealing, or
of intended fraud upon the Treasury.
Those who have taken the money re-
ceiVed it according to law; a law
they had as much power to enact as
any other, Many of those who voted
for and received this back pay in the
last Congress are among the best and
ablest in the land of both parties, and
believed they were but exercising
constitutional power, had earned the
money and were following the exam
pie that had been set by many of the
most distinguished and patriotic men
who had gone before them in the
halls of Congress. RI. q '
And yet Morton's friends will in
sist that he is opposed to the grab.

Who Pays the Debt ?

Senator Morton, who is unques-
tionably a man of ability, has a
strange proclivity for making Guy
OF himself upon all occasions, proper
or improper. In his recent demon
stration in Athens, he told the people
that Grant had paid off S3SO,OOO, 900
of the public debt This is simply a
falsehood it was paid off by the
money paid by the people, under the
operation of laws passed before
Grant became President, and he has
no more right to claim credit fer the
payment, than has any individual of
all the millions of taxpayers who
have contributed thereto. Morton is
not fool, but he evidently imagined
he was addressing an audience largely
made up of that class of people.
When one considers the enormous
annual collections of money in the
shape of taxes made by this admins
tration, the sum paid on account of
the public debt dwindles into COM
parative insignificance. 1t may be
fairly said, as was said of Falstaff7s
tavern bill-'one poor pennyworth of
to all this intolerable deal of sack"

DEMOCRACY is a sentiment not to be
appalled,, corrupted OF compromised.
1t knows no baseness; it covers to no
danger; it oppresses no weakness.
Fearless, generous and humane, it re-
Dukes the arrogant, cherishes honor,
and sympathizes with the humble.
1t asks nothing but what it comedies /;
it comedies nothing but what it de-
mands. Destructive only of despot-
ism, it is the sole conservative of lib
erty, labor and property. 1t is the
sentiment of freedom, of equal rights,
of equal obligations. 1t is the law of
nature pervading the law of the land.
The stupid, the selfish and the base in
spirit may denounce it as a vulgar
thing but in the history of our race
the democratic principle has devel-
oped and illustrated the highest moral
and intellectual attributes of our ma
ture. Yes-that is noble, magnani-
nous, a sublime sentiment, which ex-
pands our affections, enlarges the cir
Gle of our sympathies, and elevates
the soul of man, until. claiming an
equality with the best, he rejects, as
unworthy of his dignity, any political
immunities over the humblest of his
fellows. Yes-it is an ennobling
principle-and may that spirit which
animated our fathers in the Revolu-
tionary contest for its establishment
continue to animate US, their sons, in
the impending struggle for its preser=
vation.-WILLIAM ALLEN.

dent pro tenn.
Minutes of previous meeting were
read and approved.
Under the "Reports of Cases." DR..
Ferris presented q lad with disease of
the spine. The boy had been kicked
on the head by horse some two years
ago, fracturing the skull so that part
of the brain protruded, and was re-
moved. The boy made good recov-
cry, retaining all his mental faculties !;
but the question before the meeting
was, whether the disease of the spine
resulted from the shock caused by the
kick.
DR.. Sherman reported case of
Erysipelas resulting from the bite of
mosquito. 1t was supposed that the
mosquito had been eating some dead
animal near the premises of the pa
tient, and in attempting to eat the
man had introduced the animal poi
son. The patient was very much
prostrated, and had many symptoms
of severe blood poisoning. Patient
recovered. '~E
