AN Act OF 1NCoRPoRATIoN FOR BEL AIR
We understand that movement is about
TO be made to secure the passage of an act of
Legislature incorporating the town of Bel
Air. A similar effort was made some years
ago, but it failed for want of sufficient en-
couragement on the part Of the people of
the place. 1t remains to be seen what sup
port the project will receive this time The
question of taxation would most probably
enter largely into the subject, and if a por-
ton, at least, of the county road tax paid
upon property in the village, were released
and levied for Use in the town alone, we
have no doubt the measure would meet with
more general approval

New Phase of the Indian Question.

New Phase of the Indian Question.
A Washington st. Louis dispath of the
22d, says:
On Tuesday Mr.. Shanks will introduce
resolution in the House, instructing the
judiciary committee to inquire into the
status Of Indians as citizens under the
fourteenth amendment. This is move
towards simplifying the Indian problem,
and it is strange that it has not been
thought of before OF course it is i'm
possible to say what will be the decision
Of the committee, but some Of the best
lawyers in it declare that they see mo- es
cape from the recognition of Indians as
citizens The formal recognition Of In
dians as citizens will of course render
void all existing treaties and put an en-
trely new face on the Indian territory

The Chrome Business.

There is such thing as having any.
thing too bad; this chrome business is
having great run among cheap newspa.
pcrs, and is becoming annoying to the
people We have stood the arrival Of
daubs. and paid express charges without
a murmur, until this last indignity was
heaped upon us, and now the lion within
us is aroused. A few days ago the gen
tlemanly express man came in with fat
package Ins,inctively we knew it con
tanned colorcd pictures of highly colored
females or impossible dogs; but we paid
the charges and at our leisure opened the
package. Not content with sending us
ones there were three pictures in the
package, and to make the offense more
hideous, the confounded sculch came
from q Christian paper the Christian at
Work or some such improbability. We
have boarded these hideOus caracatures
for three days. They have frightened
some Of our best customers out Of the
office. We took one of them to the barn
and the COW saw it and has persistently
refused to give milk since. The picture
is terror In the foreground is an old
mare and two mule colts, lying down, all
unconscious, and right above them two
wolves are just ready to pounce upon
them. The artist seems to have thrown
good deal of soul into the ears Of the
smallest mule colt, and the tail of one of
the wolves is woven into hind legs so
perfectly that you can't tell where the leg
ends and the tail begins. The whole ef-
feet of the picture reminds the true artist
Of jar Of preserved hucklekerries spilled
on the cellar stairs, and stepped in by a
number eight foot in e state Of anxiety.
One Of our frequent visitors says the
picture represents sheep and two lambs,
instead of a mare an two mule colts, and
instead of wolves there are two dogs.
Well, there is no artistic but has his
faults. 1t may be sheep and dogs, but
we would have taken our solemn affidavit
they were mules and wolves But this
is neither here nor there. What we want
to illustrate is the check Of that Christian
at Work. Yesterday was the molly Sab
bath, and on that day we received a let.
ter from the supreme idiot who runs the
Christian ut Work, informing us that the
aforesaid pictures had been sent us, and
we we're expected to do advertising for
them to the extent Of S20 Now we are
nothing but poor weak creatures, and
don't want a row with q Ch1sHdn at
Work, but if worse comes to worse, we
will perish honorably with our face to
the foe before we will do one cents
worth of advcrtising-any more than
this artcle-for those blasted things, and

Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
OHIO STATE CONVENTION OF PROHIBITION
MI. VERNON, O., Feb. &c.

MT. VERNON, ", FEB. 70.
The State prohibition convention as
sembled in this city to day, according to
call, to nominate officers for the next
State election and take action on the wo-
mans movement and other matters. The
party has grown in power in the State
until last year it polled over ten thous
and votes, effecting Republican defeat
Politicians have tried to array the Fro
hibitionists and praying woman against
each other, but the former drofess cor.
dial sympathy with the new style of war
fare
The Convention was double the size OF
any previous one, Cincinnati being the
only district not represented. President
Thompson Of Oherlin university presid
cd After the transaction of the usual
routine business a complete ticket was
placed in nomination for the next State
election.
The committee on resolutions reported
a platform which reindorsed the national
platform, dwclt on the evils of intemper-
ance, demanded direct legislation against
the liquor traffic, declares the distinct
Prohibition party a necessity, urges the
election of national executive officers and
United States Senators direct by the peo-
pie, pronounces against all class legisla-
ton and urges temperance people to stand
by prohibition principles at the polls.
A letter was read from Dio Lewis, in
which he favored the prohibition law,
but thought it best to postpone the en-
actment OF it until the women have work
ed the popular feeling up to the point
where it could be enforced. The prohi
bition law in Boston was an utter failure,
because nobody ever thought OF enforc-
ing it.
Members Immediately took strong
grounds against Dio Lewis and his ideas,
and a resolution was passed demanding
prohibitory clause in the new constitu-
ton, and the passage of stringent law
by the General Assembly.
In view of the fact that the Prohib-
tionists will doubtless hold the balance
Of power in the next election, their pro
ccedings are looked upon with anxiety
by both political parties.

EF This being the season at which
colds are most prevalent and most diff
cult to get rid Of, it may be interesting
to recall the substance of some remarks
on the subject contributed to Mature
some four years ago by correspondent.
He stated that by simply abstaining from
drink and liquid food Of any kind for as
long period as possible the internal
cong ngestion--which is in fact the condi'
ton generally known as "a cold be
comes reduced. The cause Of congestion
is the excess Of blood contained in the
overcharged membranes, and this is re.
moved when the general bulk Of tho
blood has been diminished by withhold
ing the usual supply Of fluid. BY keep.
ing the supply of drink for day or two
down to a point at which some degree of
thirst is yet experienced complete cure
