EDfroR MINING JOURNAL Your
Issue Of last week contained a COM
munication from one who signs him
self I'm Dubiis' which is, we presume,
Typographical error for In Extre-
mis-" and is written, we doubt not, by
some astute correspondent Of the
Dolly Times.
Sometime since we asked for and
obtained place in your valued COL
umns in order to set before the voters
Of our mining districts the f1cts as re-
CARDS the vote on the coal tax. "In
Extremis" calls your attention to the
vote as recorded in the Senate Jour
usl of Proceedings" This l have
carefully examined, and find there
that the Senate bill" as amended,
passed unanimously, and yet there
vos no such bill in existence. IT, sir,
part Of the record is "by authority"
then most assuredly must all be by
authority. Some will doubtless say
am raising mere quiDble, yet | do
80 only to show that the Journal Clerk
is as liable to commit blunders and
errors as the rest of mankind, and
though he is in Office and does his
acts by "outhority," yet such authori-
ty does not render him infallible, If
ons will but turn to the Journal Of
the Senate he will find the vote as re-
corded upon the preceding bill stands
Is in the affrmatase and 4 in the Mega
hpe and upon the coal tax unanimous.
Now turn TO the Baltimore "Ameri-
can" and Gazette" and you will find
in both the order yeuersed-the vote
upon the first bill unanimous and upon
the "coal tar" Is for and against
/ ask you in all candor is it natural to
suppose the Journal Clerk who in the
record, by his own acknowledge
ment, made one mistake, is correct in
his record and that the two leading
journals of the State should by a
strange coincidence be represented by
tuo separate and distinct reporters who
should make the same mistake; (?) or
should we not rather take the two lat
ter for our guide, though not brimful
Of sgregious bIunders made by au-
thorty."

GRAND JURY REPORT

The Honorable Judges Of the Circuit C0urt. for
AUegony County,:
THE GRAND JURY, in compliance
l. with the instructions of the Court, af
ter having completed their duties in The
Grand Jury Room, visited and inspected
both the County Almshouse and Jail and
made diligent inquiry into the condition OF
the inmates of the former and the persons
confined in the latter. We beg leave to re.
port that we have found the Almshouse in
a condition conducive to the general health
and comfort of the inmates, and presents
the appearance of being well kept and con-
Quoted by the present Steward. The in
mates seem to be well cared for and are
cheerful and contcnted. The Jury can but
reiterate the opinion frequently given by
former Juries as to the inefliciency of the
present jail for the safe custody of prison
ers, as also for their health and comfort,
and unanimously condemn it as unfit for
the purpose for which it was intended and
used The prisoners seem to be as well
cared for as to their health, comfort and
safety as the circumstances of the place
will admit. In regard to the recent escape
of some of the prisoners the jury unani-
mouslv agree that no blame is to be attach
ed to the Sheriff or any of the officers CON
nected with the institution land are only
surprised that such escapes have not been
more frcquent) In reference to the new
iail in the course of construction, the jury
are not prepared at this stage of the work
to report whether it will fully meet the de-
mands for which it is intended or not. The
jury also report that they have examined
the interior of the Courthouse, and take
pleasure in reporting it a decided improve
ment upon the old one, adding many con-
venencics too long withheld for the speedy
and efficient discharge of business,
TIE attention of the jury has been called
to The great abuse, by criminals of the pow
er of removal Of cases under the present
constitution. AS the law now stands, any
criminal can have his case removed from
! this county to another by making simple
affidavit that he cannot have a fair and inn
partial trial in this court. BY this means
many criminals escape punishment owing
to the difficulty of procuring the attendance
of the proper witnesses in the court to
which the case is sent, and the fact that i'll
the new jurisdiction the character of both
witnesses and parties accused are unknown
Besides this, a very heavy expense is incur
red by the county in prosecuting these re
moved cases This evil, it is understood,
can Ike. rcmcdicd by an amendment of the
provision Of the constitution only, and we
recommend that the Legislature at the en-
suing session. may take the necessary steps
to procure an amendment placing proper
restrictions upon the right to renioSc cases,
and we therefore earnestly demand Of our
representatives in the coming Legislature
that they exercise their influence in effect
ing the needed reform in this section of our
State Constitution.

Wake Up! Wake Upl

Not q very courteous sum mons; per-
haps, but 3 very timely one. II Is
high time to wake; and the most oi
us are asleep, and s0nndly.
God calls Us to awake. He speaks
in his word loudly and clearly. He
speaks by his Spirit gently, bnt With
power. He speaks by His providence.
Solemn and fearful are the calls.
Awake, thou that sleepest;
The Church calls US to awake. She
needs our aid. We 6slpher not at 81 |,
when we are asleep. But she needs
US now. Her foes are many. Her
danger is great. She is beset without
and within; and every man who loves
her interests should be up and doing.
The world implores US to awake.
The world Is perishing! There are
hundreds of millions abroad, there
are hundreds at our own door, perish
ing in misery and sin, for whose sal
vation we should be concerned.
Wake up to labor! There is much
to be done. A city in flames would
not require half the work that is de-
manded of us now for the world in
danger of eternal fire. We ought 10
be at work, all hands and all hearts.
Wake up to give! God requires IL.
We must deny ourselves and take up
the cross, give onr children, give our
selves to the work which the Church
and the world demand. r
Wake up to pray He who can
bless and cave will be inquired Of to
do this thing. The Church is in dan
ger, the country is in danger, che
world is in danger. God alone can
help. Let us wake up and prayl

satiriziug q class of protesting Christ

The Ohio Democratic situation is
reviewed by the New York World,
and it does not find the prospect cheer.
ing. Among the things which makes
the Democratic revival difficult II
gives this:
The administration of General
Grant, is strongly intrenched and for
titled in and through the Republican
party, and by reason of the manage
ment OF the national finances, the re
duction of the public debt, and the
general prosperity of the country. II
is the administration of the Republi-
can party, and that party takes credit
jointly with the President for these
things. = = 1aesrsds
After more of this sort it inquiries:
Now, what issue can the Democrats,
or Conservatives, as some of them
prefer to call themselves, raise to over
throw party so strongly int-enched9
Neither political platitudes nor the re-
vival of dead issues will do, nor will
respectable candidates, such as Allen
for Governor of Ohio and Kemper for
Governor of Virginia, without live
questions upon which to appeal to the
people. Mere de fnuneiation Of the ad-
ministration or Republican party, even
though there be faults to condemn,
will not answer. That sort of mega
tive claim to support can not, III these
times of comparative apathy and con-
tent, much influence voters. What
can or win you do for us more than
the administration party? is the ques-
tion the people ask Of the Democrats,
And the article goes on to show that
the Ohio Democracy have Offered
nothing, and, In fact, that there Is
nothing they can offer.

Let Your wife Know.

1t is q custom too common with the
men Of the world to keep their fami-
lies in utter ignorance of the situation
of their business. The wife knows
nothing, has not even an idea OF the
amount OF her husbands fortune,
whether it Is to be counted by hum
dreds or thousands. What can q wO-
man kept in such ignorance learn ?
She spends, as a matter OF course, all
he gives her to spend, with the full
confidence that when it is gone, and
she asks for it, he will give her more.
II an unmarried woman works, she
may go with a bold, unblushing face,
and demand her wages; but = wife
can demand nothing, her claim is on
ly for bare necessity, and generous
msn, on that account, are too often
induIgent, too fearful of letting q wife
know the exact state Of their finances
'Tis all wrong.
Husband and wife have q mutual
interest every woman should know
the exact state Of her husbands
finances, understand his plans, and
aid him IL possible, with ber eOunsels
aud then these terrible catastTOplies
would not so often happen. Many

me Oldest Horse In the World.

TWenty-nine years ago last spring q
horse was brought from Vermont 70
Boston for sale, being then eleven OF
twelve years old. Strange as it may
appear, the horse Is still living, and Is
now forty or fOFty-one years Of age.
He was purchased at that time by the
late Cyrus Reed, Of Lexington, and il
now owned by his son John Reed, one
mile from the Lexington depot. Not
Withstanding his great age, be has
been most wonderfully preserved, and
Is able to perform light work, and Is
often seen ON the road, working as
faithfully as he did a quarter of cen
tury ago. He was fortunate to have
been born in an age when speed was
not the only requisite for good hOrse,
otherwise his bones might long since
have been mingling with the dust
but he bids fair to live several years
longer. To stand before this vener-
able old horse and 10 ponder upon the
events he has passed through, and to
realize that he Il the only survivor oil
all the horses born I'm 1888, makes us
feel like paying respect 10 his age, and
like calling upon the. society with Z. 4
long name to secure him against all
labor in the future.

A Romantic story.

The following story is told by the
Galveston (Texas) Commercial of a
man who was sent to the penitentiary
of that State a week or two ago.: "He
Is German Of noble birth. His un-
cles and brothers distinguished them
selves in the late FraDeO-German war;
they were high i'm rank and live in
prineely pomp. Yet this brother, per-
haps of morals ss good as the best Of
his family, will for two years live in
the Texas P5nitentiary. He was sent
tn the first schools Of tiermany, and is
proficient in ancient and modern LAM
guages-but lie was allowed to spend
money at random, being taught moth
ing that is useful. When of age, he
was given = few thousands and sent
to this country. Here we may prem
ise that while the young man is neith-
er cTaZed nor fOcl. he does lack that
which is called gumption. He mar
ried q woman whO after season de-
serted him. From the time of his de-
sertiOn he became a wanderer. Be
ing sick he returned to Germany and
was sent by his family to the most
celebrated springs in Germany, and
when he was fully restored they re-
turned him to his country with suffi.
cient to have established him in 8
small business, but he wasted all-and
it is strange that he did so, for he does
not appear to be addicted to any of the
money eating vices Reduced to beg
gary, he walked from Mobile to New
York, hunting employment. Then
he got back tO Galveston Here he
acted as sculliOn in fOurth-rate board
ing-hOuses, waiting on the table aud
cleaning knives. While engaged in
this work he stole two watches worth
s., and on being charged with 1T, he
confessed the Offense and begged the
Recorder to send him to Penitentiary,
that he could learn trade, or lie would
go out and commit some crime that
would send him there. He was the
most anxious man to get in Jail We
ever saw. We hope that his residence
at Huntsville will be productive of all
the good he anticipates from it, and
that when he leaves it he will be q
self-supporting. resDeetabls citizen

The Chicago platform was a decla-
ration Of war and hostility to the peo-
pie of the South, as being the owners
Of slaves. That platform was the true
origin of the war. When they adj
vaneed that platform and placed their
candidate upon it, the South saw that
their safety consisted in resisting his
election at the polls, and the whole
fifteen States voted in a solid body
against him. Now, Mr.. Lincoln, be
it remem bered, came in as the first
President upon sectional question.

Hhere DId the RIch VAN GO 2

Little Johnny was preparing for
Sunday School situated some distance
away, when his mother saw one OF
the neighbors approaching in a vehi-
Gle. This man, by the way, was
called ''The Rich Man." being both
wealthy, kind-hearted, and liberal to
the poor. Johnny ran out, and the
rich man took him into his vehicle,
as he was going right past the Sunday
School. 1t was a very hot day, so
Johnny took off his shoes and stock
ings to keep himself cool. When they
arrived the exercises had already be-
gun, and as the man was going Ia
church about mile beyond, aud bUl
agreed to call for Johnny on his D,
turn, he concluded not to put on his
shoes and stockings again, but leave
thep in the vehicle. So he tripped
lightly into the school, and the man
drove away toward church.
His teacher was just hearing the les
sou, which, bye the bye, Johnny vas
not acquainted with, which was the
rich man and poor Lazarus Soon
after Johnny entered and took his
seat, it came his turn to answer a
question.
Johnny can you tell me where the
rich man went ~
she went to the Baptist meeting" a."
replied the little lad, thinking only OF
his late companion
"NO, no, my son, the rich man went
to hell, T" said the teacher with great
impressiveness, while the other sehOl-
ars were titteriBg with laughter.
ibid he ?" exclaimed the lad, in all
honesty" ''Then he has taken my
shoes and stockings with him ~ and
up he Jumped, and seizfDg his hat he
put out OF the school room and down
the road to oyertake the rich man and
recover his property.
