A Word I'm Season.

A great deal has been stated by
the press of both parties in relation
to the result of the Ohio election,
the Republicans explaining how il
occurred, and the Democratic ex-
.ulting over the fact they have elect
ed the Governor and Legislature,
and predicating on the result assur-
ance OF success hereafter. The
Republicans, of course, manifest no
encouragement, and give good, and
to them selves satisfactory reasons,
for their defeat, and prove that the
party is as strong in the State as
ever. The defeat clearly is attrib
utable to the apathy of about So.
600 Republican voters, coupled with
the vote cast by the Prohibitionists,
which was almost entirely drawn
from them. With these votes com
bined at an another election, the
party will be largely in the maiori
ty, and all that has been lost at this
election will be regained. This is
plhlnly OemOnSGraDle.
On the other hand, the Democra
cy are contented to refer to the
general result, and trust to the fu-
ture. It is enough of present
Joy for them, that they have elected
the Governor and Legislature, and
they care not to consider how.
The majority for Allen over Moves
is only 817, and yet his vote is TO-.
900 less than half the entire vote
cast, and 1000 less than the party
voted two years before. While the
general result may afford the party
good grounds for exultation, an
analysis and comparison of the
vote much diminish the ardor of
their jubilation and demonstrate to
them that their unexpected acces-
sion to power will be short lived.
A few temperance fanatics scat
tered over the State, with more
zeal than discretion, are. chareable
with the defeat of the Republicans
by placing G ticket of their own in
the field. They had secured the
enactment of good liquor law by
a Republican Legislature, which It
is generally conceded the incoming
one will repeal. Their
foolish course has thus aided in
defeating their best friends, and set
their cause back several years. It
would be well for the temperance
men OF our own State to ponder
over the fact and take care that
they do not run into the same
Dlunder next year, for assuredly q |
Democratic Legislature would re-
peal our law with decided VIM
Vincennes Times.

WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA, NOV Is 1879
Notwithstanding an amendment

Notwithstanding an amendment
to the Constitution prohibits the
Government from ever making pay
ment for emancipated slaves, thu
hope of receiving such compensa-
ton undoubtedly prevails to a great
or less extent Throughout the South,
and its advocacy there is ikley to
be popular. In a recent speech
the Hon. r. NJ T. Hunter, of vir-
ginia, one of the wheelhorses of the
Democracy in that State proposed
the following roundabout method
OF accomplishing this end. He said:
| "Why not deposit the amount of
S4OO, 100000 mentioned by Mr..
Lincoln, upon the principle of the
deposit ack upon which the surplus
revenue Was deposited with. the
States! Like that let the deposit
be made without interest, and to
! be recalled only on the same con.
tingencies. When this is done, let
the States do justice amongst the
individual share holders. What if
the General Government should
fail to have it restored? The act
would only be one of justice to
those who We're unjustly and un-
costitutionally despoiled. If it
were not returned, no injustice
would be done, for those who would
retain il were justly entitled to it.
Nor could it be well opposed on
constitutional grounds. The orig
inal spoilation without compensa-
tion was unjust and unconstitution-
al; this use of the National revenue
would serve to remedy and undo
that original wrong, so far as Justice
is concerned. The whole action of
the General Government in regard
to slavery was extra constitutional,
and where something extra consti
tutional is necessary to be done to
remedy any injustice in that action,
II Will not do to plead the Consti-
tuition in bar of that remedy if it
has been no obstacle to the original
wrong. Upon the valuation of $4OO,
100000 for the entire slave proper.
ty OF the country, the share of
Virginia would be between forty
and fifty millions.
''Let the General Government
distribute this sum among the States
according to the number of negroes
emancipated within their borders
and let the States distribute their
quota among the despoiled slave
holders
AS Mr.. Hunter is a prospective
candidate for the United States
Senate in case his party is success
full, and is using every means to
strengthen his claims, the forego.
ing utterance is significant He
would not take such ground if he
did not believe it popular.

AS the law passed last winter fol-
the regulation Of the sale of intoxi
eating liquors has been sustained
by the Supreme Court, it may be
worth while for all to take anothe,
glance at it's provisions. Owing to
its length we shall only furnish q
synopsis of it, showing its main
features.
The first section declares, that it
shall be unlawful for any person, by
himself or agent, to sell, barter or
give away any intoxicating liquors,
to be drunk in or about the prem
lses without permit.
The second, third, fourth and
fifth sections point out the steps to
be taken to obtain a permit, the
Liabilities on the bond, and the pen
atty for violating the provisions of
the act, forfeiture of the permit and
declaring that no other permit shall
be granted the person forfeiting
one for five years!
Section six prohibits selling, bar
tering or giving ito any ,inor, to
any person intoxicated, .or to any
person who is in the habit of get
ting intoxicated"
Section seven, declares all places
where liquors are sold in violation
OF the act, common nuisances. and
that all such places shall be shut nb
and abated as nuisances, and the
keepers punished.
Section eight is so broad and
binding that it is better to print it
in full for the information of liquor
sellers, saloon keepers, and their
habitual customers, as we'll as all
persons who may be SO unfortunate
as to De connected in any way with
even occasional drunkards:
"Any person or persons who shall,
by the sale of intoxicating liquor
with or without permit. cause the
intoxication, in whole or in part of
any other person, shall be liable for
and be compelled to pay reasona-
bic compensation to any person
who may take charge OF, and pro-
vide for such intoxicated person.

FROM OXFORD, O.

NJ. EDIToR:- Thinking that the
readers Of the old Palladium
would like to hear something from
this place, and especially the Nor
NAL School here, 1 undertake to

The following is from the Sand
wlch I'll. Free Press: Mr.. George
Wallace, of Earlville, informed us
recently that while he was on his
way to Chicago, as a representative
for the Farmers Club, he overheard
conversation on the train between
Mr. William Munson, of Freedom,
and Mr.. D. G. Taylor, q heavy
coal merchant of LaSalle, who owns
1000 acres of land. and EMPLOYS
1000 men. They had never met
before, but commenced conversing
about their family affairs. They
both came to Illinois in 1928; both
married the same year; both had
thirteen children; both had seven
now living; both had the same
number married, and both sent
their Youngest children to the same
school, in South Bend, Ind Mr..
Taylor is sixtynine years of age,
and Mr.. Munson is sixty seven
both stout, healthy men, without
an unsound tooth in their heads"
MIR. Munson's first wife was q
member of the Hall family, who
were captured by the Indians at
Harding, when she was but sixteen
years of age. Then again, each
had four daughters married, and
each had one son, neither belonged
to the church, and both were Demo
Gratis; and both are known to be
rich and talented men. Where is
there such another couple?

Indiana Congressional Delegation.

Indiana Congressional Delegation.
This State will be well represen-
ted in Congress this winter, as
usual. No two Senators in the
Union are abler or better known
men than are Messrs. Morton and
Pratt, the two U. S. Senators repre-
senting Indiana. The thirteen
members of the Lower House of
Congress the approaching session
Will be composed of three Demo
Gratis and ten Republicans. The
Democrats are Messrs. Niblack, of
the First District; Wolf, of the Sc
cond, and Holman, of the Third.
The Republicans Messrs. Wilson,
of the Fourth; Coburn, of the Fifth;
Hunter, of the Sixth; Cason. of the
Seventh; Tyner, of the Eighth;
Shanks, of the Ninth; Sayler, of
the Tenth; Packard, of the Eleventh,
and Williams and O,th for the
State at large. Messrs. Shanks
and Neff, the two rival candidates
in the Ninth District, have each a
certificate from the Governor, sta
ting the fact as to the result of the
election, showing that the vote was
very close between them, and that
forty seven votes cast for Shanks
were not counted, but rejected by
the election officers of Adams coun-
ty because the words "Republican
ticket were printed thereon. If
these AZ votes were not counted,
Neff would have Is majority; if
counted, Shanks would have 81
majority.
The Superior Court of this MA
, ion) county have decided in other
cases that the words "Republican
ticket are not in violation of law,
OH ticket. and the Superior Court
OF this county has recently made
the same decision in this case. This
decision was made upon an applica-
ton for mandate upon the Gov
ernor to issue a certificate of cleo
ton to Neff. Shanks, therefore, is
sure to get the seat, as Congress
will be governed by the construc-
ton of the laws by the courts of
thus State. Messrs. Wolf, Cason
and Sayler have never been in Con-
gress before; all the others have.

One paragraph Of Gen. Logan's
address at the soldiers reunion at
Toledo is worthy of more than
causual perusal. It is q trite pass
time with those who had nothing but
slurs and insults for soldiers in time
OF war, to sneer at and criticise
these annual military reunions as
attempts to rekindle and keep alive
the embers of q conflict that were
better utterly forgotten; and when.
ever an honored Union officer or
soldier appears among his fellow
comrades to rehearse the stories of
the days of conflict and of triumph.
these men and papers are ever
ready to snarl at them as super
dous veterans tagging upon the
stage. Senator Logan pungently
states the whole case in these few
words:
"War is stern necessity, which
the enlightened nations of the pres
ent day are striving by precept and
practice to avoid; and to which
they deem it right to resort only
when national honor and national
integrity can be preserved in no
other way; and surely no one an
