We mentioned last week that there
was trouble between Judges Harper and
DuHadway. Week before last the Ports
mouth Tribune contained the following:
Judge Harper returned from jackson
Monday evening, and on the reading of
the docket on Tuesday morning ascer-
tanned that nearly all of those persons
who were indicted for violating the
liquor laws had come into court and plead
ed guilty and been fined. The Judge
thereupon demanded of the prosecutor
why these parties had been arraigned
and permitted to plead, when he had ex-
pressly ordered before leaving for Jack
son that none of these cases should be
heard until the fourth week He said it
had been very common for parties thus
indicted to come in before Judge un-
acquainted with them for sentence He
thought the present matter presented a
very suspicious appearance in the light of
the circumstances surrounding it. Mr..
Spfy stated that he had informed Judge
DuHadway of the order made by Judge
Harper, and that he had refused to take
the responsibility of arraigning these
parties and accepting their pleas There
upon Judge DuHadway took the re-
sponsibility of proceeding with the cases.
Judge Harper seemed very much Of
Tended that his order in this matter had
been disregarded, and ordered that all
the entries made in these cases be mark

nothing had been done, and they will be

egar Bitters are purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier-
ra Nevada mountains of California, the
medicinal properties of which are extract
ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol
The question is almost daily asked, ''What
is the cause of the unparalleled success of
VINEGAR BITTERs?" Our answer is, that
they remove the cause of disease, and the
patient RECEIVERS his health. They are the
great blood purifier and a life-giving prin-
ciple, perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the history
of the world has q medicine been COM
pounded possessing the remarkable qual-
tiles of VINEGAR BITTERs in healing the sick
of every disease man is heir to. They are
gentle Purgative as well as Tonic, reliev-
ing Congestion or Inflammation of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dis
eases.
IF men will enjoy good health, let
them use VINEGAR BrTTERs as medicine,
and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulalts
in every form.

The other night while going through
a stand drawer we came across the fol
lowing, which was actually sent to us q
year and half ago for publication, with
the writer's name signed in full Oh
course it wac written with pencil, on
both sides of the paper. But here it is
exactly as it was sent to us:
1. Dear Hatties gone and now in heaven
She sings his praise. who dead for her
and to her hind a harpe is given
and She's heavenly worshipper
2. let us think of all she said
and all the. Kind looks she gave
dear Hattie dear now she is dead
and sleeping in the lowly grave
3. the bosom where she oft have lain
and slept her infant hours away
Will never feel her warmth again
tits still-in death !! tits senseless clay
4. her welcome face her sparkling eyes
and sprightly form must buried lie
deep in the cold and silent grave
until we meet her in the skies
5. We know that she is happy now
with her angle -plumage on
but our harts are very desolate
too think that she is gone
6. We never can forget dear Hattie
your sweet kisses when in death
and how around our necks you clung
with your expiring breath
Z. Lord prepare us for that hour
that to a crown be given
may we walk the golden streets with her
in the paradice of heaven

plause; every piece of slang and abusive
epithet applied to the clergy elected
great laughter and cheers, and when he
made the blasphemous parallel between
himself and Christ, the crowd went
almost wild with delight. At this point
the speaker seemed to lose control of
himself altogether, and effectually took
leave of decency. He gave a horrible
trayesty of the trial of Christ; the false
witnesses, ''hired to lie like the men that
lied on me at Hillsboro;" Peters denial
of Christ and capped the climax of
ribaldry profanity and indecency, by
quoting Testament open before him
Peter as saying, "Il be id and Cd
id if l know the man. And the
graceless shameless crowd laughed
stamped hooted, and yelled like so many
savage Indians (No; I'll take that back;
the Indians respect one another rell-
gion.) This weary and disgusting per-
formance went on for halt an hour, the
sneaker reading a few verses at time
from the Testament, and then applying
the description of the Jewish chief priests
and elders to that of the ministers of to
day 1t was horrible-too horrible for
reproduction in print.

or disgust. l know that l am not given

who have read these letters will not &C
cuse me of too great reverence for rell-
gion or temperance. But know speak
but the simple truth when | say that this
nights performance has been, in all
its particulars, a deep and damning
disgrace to Chillicothe The last seven
weeks comprises nearly all my knowledge
of the rural society of this Eastern
country; but in five years in the far
West L never attended public meeting
half so disgraceful have heard Brig.
ham Young swearing like a pirate in the
pulpit; but that was in rude country
with a ruder religion, and he did not pro
fess anything better. But that such a
meeting as this could have been held, OF
such a speech made by Judge, in a
Christian country, is something l never
would have believed on another's evi
dence. In one respect only is this better
than the Territories; if such speech
had been made in any of the Western
towns l have lived in, in reference tC
their women, the men would have snatch
ed the speaker out of the stand anC
hanged him 10 the nearest tree. 1t was
at once the most indecent profane anc
shameful harangue j have ever listened
to. A full report is impossible. An alb
stract of the most decent portion is ap
pended.
The Judge spoke an hour and thret
quarters; at the close the crowd called
tor Mr.. Fromm, editor of the German
paper, and at this time-l0:30 P. M.-ht
is speaking in the German language.

The Columbus correspondent of the

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer thus goes for Brother
Chapman, of the Pomeroy Telegraph:
"a STOPPING, cringing, dyspeptic, snarl-
ing man of about fifty years, whose ap-
pearance resembles that of Judas Iscariot
in De Vincis picture of the last supper,
but with whom Judas himself would
never have associated, even in his treach-
cry. Such is the member that Meigs
sends to the House this year. He came
here with about half the Republican ma
jority given in his county for the rest OF
the ticket. He signalized his appearance
at the first of the session by stealing the
nom de plume of well-known newspaper
writer who is member of the House,
and writing scurrilous communications
over it, about the Speaker, his object be-
ing not only to defeat Mr.. Converse, bur
also to injure Mr.. Gordon whose sobriquet
he had stolen These very letters were
published in the Pomeroy Telegraph, a
paper he pretends to edit, the very day
they appeared in the Columbus Journal,
thus revealing their authorship, clearly
to any one who had doubted it before.
During the time he has been in the
House he has been one of its most blatant
members, and it is a curious fact that he
has never urged the passage of a bill that
was not defeated, and never tried to de-
feat one that did not pass. Now he goes
around growing at and abusing the mem
bers who favor redistricting plan that
has already been agreed upon, and charg-
ing that it is nothing but gerrymander-
ing scheme. Processing to be an ardent
Republican, he never looses an oppor-
tunity to villify the Republican leaders OF
the House, and often goes out of his way
to do So The editor of newspaper, he
can neither speak nor write an English
sentence grammatically, and spells the
name of the county he represents
"Meggs" He has neither ability or in
fluence, but goes around the House snap
ping and snarling at everything and
every body, making miserable travesty
of an attempt to be the Appemantus OF
the General Assembly"
