as Dorregarays. 1t had been taken at Penaceri ada

State Board Of Agriculture.

There was large attendance
at the meeting of the Ohio
State Board of Agriculture, at
Columbus, on the Sth inst,
every county in the State being
represented except one. Vim
ton county was represented by
BENoM HIxON, President of the
Agricultural Society.
The following are the officers
elected for the ensuing year:
Presidential. G. Delano, Chillicothe;

Mr.. KLIPPART makes a most
excellent Secretary.
The first week in September
was fixed upon for the next
State Fair at Mansfield, COM
mencing with Monday, Sept.
1st, and continuing throughout
the week.
The next meeting of the board
will be held February Is, at
which time the premium list

The McArthur enquirer. (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1873-1884, 1873-01-22
The Constitutional Convention.

The law fixing the time for
holding the Constitutional Con-
vention has at last passed both
branches of the Ohio Legisla-
ture. Itnow devolves upon the
people to select suitable mem
bers to represent them in that
body. Vinton county is enti-
tied to one delegate to the
Convention. The election will
be held Oh the first Monday in
April, the 7th; and the Con-
vention will assemble in Co.
lumbus on the second Tuesday in
May next. This will be one of
the most important elections
held for twenty years, and
many journals of this State
have suggested the necessity of
selecting the bestmen for Dele
gates. 1t is to be hoped that
Vinton county will not be be-
hind in this important matter.
The questions that will come
before the Constitutional Con-
vention for consideration and
final action are various and of
the gravest Importance to the
future history and welfare of
the State. Among the most
important Of these subjects will
be the much talked of reform of
the Judiciary system, provisions
for the more stringent govern
ment of corporations, especially
railroads, the ever agitated tenn
perance question, the tenure of
abolition of capital pun
ishment, ETC., etc.
The McArthur enquirer. (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1873-1884, 1873-01-22

Among the bills before
Congress, brought by members
of the dominant party, are the
following:
l. To purchase and run the
telegraph as a Government in
stitution.
2. To assume jurisdiction
over and regulate the fares Of
the railroads.
3. To pass a National elec-
tion law, and supervise and
control the elections of the
country.
4. To seize upon and exer-
else the control of all the COM
mon Schools in the different
States.
5. To enter upon and con-
demn property in the State for
the Federal Government, with
out the consent of the State
Legislatures, or even their re-
monstrances.
6. In addition, a Federal
Judge in Louisiana assumes to
decide who are State Canvas
sers of Votes, thus foists upon
the people a Governor, Legisla-
ture, county officers, etc.
7. The Washington Admin
istration, with the bayonets of
it's soldiers, sustains the Judge
in the proposition.
Can any body doubt where
this policy is tending?
