The Columbus ladies have commenced
praying in the different saloons in that
city. An old member Of the Legislature
is hugely pleased over this. He says
that Columbus always had the meanest
whisky of any place in the world, and il
prayer could only get the dealers to
throw it out it would work an everlasting
benefit to the people of the State who nre
compelled to go to the capital. LET the
good work go on" says the member,
"till all the old rot-gut is thrown away,
and then the hotels will get some good
whisky" Thoughtful person. Cleve-

The Cincinnati Enquirer keeps up
its senseless and ridiculous assaults
upon Senstor Thurman, and with bra
zen impudencs claims to speak for
the Democracy of Ohio, than which
nothing can be farther from the truth.
Not only are the Democracy of this
State, but OF the whole Nation, as
well as many of the honest and intel
ligent men of the whole country, of
whatever party. proud OF the intelli-
gence and manly integrity of our dis
tinguished Senator, and the Enquirer
will in time 6nd ont that it has made
an egregfous mistake in its gross att
tack upon him. The Cincinnati Com
Hcrcial puts the following pointed
questions to the En4Hirer on the sub
jeet. upon which that Pretentious jour-
nal has apparently become insane: 3
Where is your evidence that the
Senator has lest the confidence of his
party in Ohio7 What test has there
been showing that he lacked power in
his party7 III you refer to the jabber
of the inAationiStS, we assure you that
it may be very easily 0Vsrestimated.
The truth OF Che matter 10 that specu-
latOrs and jobbers are malicious to-
wards Thurman because he is an hon-
est man. He has not consented to lend
his name to the proposition that an
increase of irredeemable paper would
make the country prosperous. He
simply knows that the tWaddle Of the
inAationists is fOolishness or falsehood
or both. Is that a sign Of weakness q

A BAD TINE FOR STRIKES. - The
three strikes in this city are all virtual
failures, For every man that quits
work there are ten idle ones eager TO
take his place at mi sort of wages.
1t may be some days yet before the
strikers see the mistakes into which
they have been led by blind leaders.
But then 1t may be found that the va
cant places are permanently filed.
We have a hard winter before us, with
less to encourage employers than in
any season for the last ten or twelve
years. Every trade is full of unem-
ployed workmen. There are two idle
men ready and anxious to. take every
place that shall be made vacant, and
the question with thousands il not
just how high wages they can get. but
whether they can get any wages at all.
Employers are often in an equally
hard case, and the question with them
is not whether they can afford to pay
the present wages, but whether they
can afford to pay any wages. To re-
fuse work and inaugnrate strikes in
such a season is nadness.-Nea0 York

AMONG the Congressmen-elect is
Ex- Governor Gilbert G. Walker, from
the Richmond, (Va.) District. 4 His
election demands more than passing
notice. Governor Walker was 3
Union soldier in the late war from
New York. After the war he located
in business in Norfolk Va. He was
made Governor of the State in the
days of reconstruction" and as such
acted for the interests of the whole
people. He endeared himself to the
State Of Virginia by his administra-
tive policy. There were no outrages.
There were no frauds or peculations
upon the State Treasury. Virginia
escaped many of the trials and tribu-
lations which were visited upon sister
States while she was in the painful
process of reconstruction. The peo-
pie remembered Governor Walker for
that. They remembered him with
gratitude, and they have new sent
bim to Congress. The lesson. of his
election which We desire to inculcate
is this that there is no deaire on the
part of the people of the Souihseo
prescribe any man because he was not
born there. or that he was in the North
and served in the war in behalf OF the
United States Government. If these
objections existed Governor Walker
was open to all of them. The Rich
mond District is full of adle gentle
men, many of whom are native resi-
dents and who served in the Confed-
era:e army, nevertheless Governor
Walker was preferred, and by the
votes mainly Of ex- -Confederates. He
was elected to Congress from Dis
trict heretofore in opposition. Such
practical exempIification OF what we
have pointed ought TO be sufficient to
show that the term carpet bagger in
the South has a widely different
meaning from that which is prevalent
in the North. Governor Walker is a
man of hne personal bearing, OF rare
good sense, and IL an excellent parlia-
mentarian, as well as q fine orator.
He will take front posilion in Con-
gress, and whether in Committes or
on the floor will make an industrious
and useful member.-En Enonirey.

At Carbondale on Saturday night or
Sunday morning last, two men were

--One OF whom will probably die.
Patrick Padden,a . miner nc the Coal
Brook CoIliery, was found upon Dun

ing, with two bullet holes in his head,
aud badly pounded about the body.
His head was frozen TO the ground,
the hair having dragged in q pool OF
blood and water which had eOngsaled.
He was not quite dead when found,
but expired in the afternoon. He had
quarreled with some parties on Satur-
day afternoon. lz .aeE.
Richard McNally was found dead
the same morning upon the railroad
bridge near the lookout in the same
city. He was about twenty years Of
age. The @body evidently had been
put there. st l4a@ fia4
Michael Beglard was found about
the same time with his throat CUT He
was dressed in an old suit of miners
clothing. When last seen on Saturday
night he had on . suit of good clothes.

ries, but escaped. with his life. His
name has not been aecertained. sdi

nailed TO a beam in . lonely and nn-

driven through his coat at the wrists
