duty The traditions of the party
are all Of them right aud some Of
them simply glorious. II, then it
has the viii to do so, it can govern
the country with more good sense,
virtue, and energy, than any other
party, old or new, can bring to the
work. Whether the Republican
party viii have the opportunity to
do this depends entirely upon its
own action. It will require the best
services of its best men. It will be
only at its best that the country viii
repose confidence in it. It is OBJ
viOus that the party, under these
circumstances, can not afford to en-
tertain those "claims" of hack pol
itieians upon its favors which have
been conceded only too readily in
the past.
On the other hand, It is q time
when all who have the interests of
the country at heart, should surren-
der mere personal consideration.
We shall need good nominations,
and we shall need for these the hear
ty support Of the great body Of the
party. There has never been a time
in the history of the party when its
disinterested members could do so
much good as they can DO in the
next two months. If they take the
trouble to labor hard to secure good
nominations, and to elect good can
didates when they are nominated,
they will probably succeed in pla-
cling the party on very strong foot

MUM list of the Sandusky County
Agricultural Society, which our
farming interest will do well to pre-
serve as a means of reference. Also
an excellent letter from Philadelphia,
with a variety of other interesting
reading. In the way of advertise
ments it will be observed that the
extensive and enterprising firm of
Messrs. WHITNEY & CURRIER, of
Toledo, come ou4 with a specially
attractive notice Of their organs and
pianos, of which they certainly keep
the largest stock in the west, and as
a consequence command the largest
trade. Next in point of magnitude
is that of H. j. RATFENsPERGER's
auction Of valuable lots in Toledo,
in which business that gentleman
has long stood at the head of his
profession in the city. The oppor-
tunity is certainly a rare and valu-
able one, and presents a most ex-
,eptional opportunity to those hay
-ng little spare capital to invest or
speculate with-property in Toledo
increasing with surprising rapidity.

RiohardgonIg confrmation.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
House Committee on Ways and
Means has made very damaging dis
coveries, affecting the official stand
ing of Secretary Richardson, he was
nominated by the President for an
important Office and the Senate con-
frmed the nomination, though the
confirmation was not of the most
iattering character. The Washing

Times, under date of the ID inst,
thus details what transpired in Ex-

It is with pleasure, and we trust
pardonable pride, we present with
the JOURNAL, of this week, a supple
ment Not an insignificant extra,
buta full sized supplement, half the
dimensions Of the ordinary weekly
issue. The circumstances leading to
this are too apparent to require
heightened comment Being among
The Oldest papers in the district,
with an exceptional subscription
list, the JOURNAL has ever sought to
maintain its prestige on the two
cardinal principles which alone es-
tablish the success or otSsscrwise of
sny similar publication that of
catering for the entertainment 1Hd
to the satisfaction of its readers,
and secondly, providing the most
valuable investment for advertising
patronage. As regards the former,
we much prefer leaving the question
of success to its readers, for our part
realising arcple consolation in its
extensive subscription list, which
We submit it would be difficult to
beat in this section-whlle in
the past thirteen weeks we have
issued not less than FIVE THOUSAND
extras with another ROUND THOUSAND
this week ALONE. So much for the
satisfaction it affords its readers.
As to how fer the JOURNAL is ap-
proved by advertisers we leave its
columns alone to attest.
It is therefore in Difference to the
interests Of both readers and adver-
tisers that we this week publish a
supplement-that the one may not
be deprived his due share of reading
while the other may indulge the
fnn advantage Of our large and in
creasing circulation.
Gentlemen-we thank you, and
being more than solicitOus of your
continued support. give you the ut
most assurance that, your interests

ed the nomination. Not so, howev-
er, with regard to the nomination OF
Mr.. Richardson to be Judge OF the
Court of Claims, which was not re-
ported back unanimously from the
Committee on the Judiciary. Du-
ring the forty minutes session, views
were interchanged by Senators rath-
er in a conversational way than in q
debate. the Democrats openly bas-
ing their opposition to the nominee
on the report of the Committee on
Ways and Means, and the accompa-
nying testimony in the Sanborn case
having reference to him. With this
exception no question arose as to
his fitness for the judgeship. But
little was said on the Republican
side-certainly no formal defense
of his conduct in the matter of the
Sanbora contracts. Finally, when
the question was taken on advising
and coGsenting to the nomination, a
number Of Republican Senators in
their seats declined to vote. A suf-
ficient number of them, however,
did so, to carry the confirmation by
a small majority. If those who op-
posed the nomination by failing to
respond to their names had voted in
the negative, the nomination would
have been rejected. The Senate
had been canvassed by a Senatorial
friend Of Richardson a week before
his nomination was transmitted to
the Senate, when it appeared that
the confirmation could be secured,
though by small majority. Mass
achusetts has now two judges on the
bench of the Court of Claims
Messrs. Loring and Richardson.
The whole matter is discredita
ble-alike discreditable to the ad-
ministration and to those Republi-
cans who endeavored to shirk re-
sponsibility by not voting. If
Richardson had not the stomina to
demand an investigation into his of
fetal career, it was a tacit confession
of the Irregularities charged, and
those members who refused to vote
evidently so understood the matter,
but had not sufficient moral courage
to record their votes against him,
when by SO doing they would have
performed an act of justice to their
party, as also to one who had dis
honored it.

Four Horse Power Boiler.

EAToNvILLE FACTORY, Sept. 16, 1873.
GENTs:-I have given the steam boiler, we
had of you, the most thorough tests, and find
that it exceeds my expectations in every re-
spect-in simplicity, and economy in the use
of fuel burning either wood or coal, requiring
no pump, and the ease in which it is Kept in
order and managed. 1 have raised is lbs.
pressure of steam in II minutes from the time
Of lighting the fire, and it will run up to 2s or
80 lbs. pressure in 8 to minutes longer. U.s.
ing it in steaming two 600 gallon watts, can,
in addition, have l5 or 20 lbs. pressure on the
boiler, and this IS remarkable. The wood it
needs simply to get up steam in our old tnbu-
lar boiler will suffice to run this steamer long
enough to do the days work. can heartily
recommend it to those wanting such power.

its charge. While I say this, lido
not intend to reflect on the integrity
of the Secretary. In fact, there is
nothing SO far that shows that any
Treasury official had has a corrupt
connection with Sanborn."
This admirable speech properly
closes with the following timely and
fitting reference to the duties and
obligations of the Republicans, as
the dominant party, in the matter in
hand, which should command the
attention and careful consideration
OF those to whom it is addressed:
"And now, concluding, let me speak
to the members of the Republican
party, Of which am proud to be a
humble member-that party which
has fought aud won so many politi-
cal battles, which has performed so
grand a service to the country. 1t
has been emphatically the party of
the people. 1t was born to protest
against wrong and oppression. It
has lived to grind to powder the
most insolent oligarchy that ever
antagonized the theory and practice
OF equal political rights. Its path
way is strewn all along with brill
liant and glorioussachievements. But
to save this party I plead. 1 am
willing to-day to work and to dig
down deep if it need be, and know
that every member of my party will
join me, to root out these hideous
spots wherever We can find them.
The people of this great country de-
sire above all else, to follow the FLAG
of this grand party; but that flag
must be kept clean and pure. The
party cannot live alone in it's past
history; it must demonstrate its
ability to deal with the present-iUs
genuine patriotism. If it finds itself
unable to drive out whatever of cor
ruption it may have within; if
it does not correct the abuses and
wrongs that by the connivance of
corrupt and designing men, have
been fastened upon it's administra-
tion, then say it ought to go down,
and only thereafter to live in history.
But, Mr.. Speaker, know that the
good in the party largely outweighs
the bad, and that much of our suf-
fering is due to the inheritance of
practices and precedents from Dem
ocratic Party; and l know, too, that
my Republican associates in Con-
gress are not only able but willing
to root out these wrongs, and that
we can do, are doing, and will do
what no other party has ever had
the courage to dove will purge
ourselves of impurities. We are de-
termined to have it understood that
whenever a corrupt official head is
brought to light, there shall be Re-
publican club to hit it. Purified,
then, as it will certainly be, this
grand party will continue to bless the
Republic in administration and, sup
plemented as it will be with new and
and other deeds of brilliancy and
glory, the country will continue to
prosper and the people will be happy.

The President has authorized the
publication of his views on finance,
without addressing the same to Con
gress; but while he and his theoriz-
ergspeculate upon probabilities, the
work shops of the country are clos
ing, and thousands of workmen are
lying idle, because of the depression
caused by a scarcity Of currency
Money is growing scarces daily, is
harder to be mad, and business men
experience the greatest difficulty in
raising the means to meet their obli-
cations and their necessary running
expenses. The country does not
want speculations upon finance, it
wants money to pay for labor and the
legitimate demands of trade.

The Register and Reflector both
favorthe re nomination Of HoN. CuAs
Foster, our present representative,
for Congress. It is scarcely probable
that any other name will be be-
fore the convention, all appear
ing to acquiesce in the pro
priety Of Mr.. Fosters denomination.
He is unquestionably as strong
a man as could be found in the
district not to say the strongest,
but it will require a massing of
the Republican strength in all the
counties of the district to secure his
return to the body which his pres
ence, honors. He would, under or
dinary circumstances, be a hard man
to beat, but the circumstances of the
present are not ordinary. With 10
cal divisions, temperance crusades,
liquor combinations, &c, there is
more disintegration than we have
ever seen before, and the result can
scarce be contemplated with any de-
gree Of assurance. We say this with
regret, but with the hope that it
may call the attention of Republi-
cans to che fact as it is, and lead
them to close up their ranks, lay
aside all differences, and make a
gallant struggle for one who has
done honor to his district, and re-
fected credit upon those who have
stood by him heretofore and labored
for his success. He has made for
himself national reputation, and
his record in the Sanborn case. is
one with which any representative
might feel proud to go before his
constituents. With such a record
we might reasonably hope that
many honest, straight toward Dem |
ocrats, would be willing to vote for
him, though party discipline may |
cOerce them to vote otherwise. Still, |
there are enough Republican votes |
in the district to assure success, if !
apathy and the causes we have en-
umerated, do not prevent its con
centTatiOn. Let moderate counsels, !
therefore, prevail, and concentration |
be the watchword; let it especially |
prevail in the counties represented |
by the papers named, for unless they |
can ego several better" than they |
did last fall the struggle will be |
homeless.

New Secretary, Of the Treasury.

Mr.. Bristow is comparatively a
stranger to the general public, but
is spoken of as a lawyer of eminent
ability and a man of integrity. The
following brief account of his life
and character is from a Louisville
paper
B. Il. Bristow, the son Of F. NJ.
Bristow, a prominent lawyer and
politician of this State who has
filed many positions of trust, is
forty-one years old. He was born
in Elkton, Todd county, Ky. Prac-
ticed law with much success at
HopkinsvilIe before the war. He
was a strong Union man, entered
the Union army in 1861, was at
Donelson and Shiloh as Major in
the 25th KY, and was wounded at
Shiloh; afterward Colonel of the
Sth Kentucky Cavalry.
He was appointed United States
District Attorney about the close of
the war; and filed the position with
distinction, being frequently sent by
the Treasury Department to other
districts to look after the interests
Of the government. He resigned
the district attorneyship, and resum
ed private practice.
When the Office Of Solicitor Gen
eral was created he was appointed
its first incumbent, organized the
Office, and during the absence Of
the Attorney General performed his
duties, and filed his place in the
Cabinet meeting. The ability he
displayed in this Office gave him a
high reputation at Washington. AT
ter two years service, he resigned
to attend to his private affairs. In
December last he was nominated
Attorney General, at the same time
that Mr.. Williams was nominated
Chief Justice. He is q man of the
purest private character, o strong
will and mind, a great lawyer, con
servative in his financial views, tho
roughly Western in his feelings and
interests. The nomination was re-
ceived here with great satisfaction,
and full confidence that he viii fill
the place honorably and acceptably.

BROWNLOW ON CIVIL RIGHTS.

In the Knoxville Chronicle Senator
Brownlow appears by letter in answer
to an attack made on him by Rev Bart-
lett, of St Mary's Mixed College. The
Tennessee Senator says: " / am OPP
posed to this civil rights bill, because it
is an usurpation of rights, and an Op-
preston upon all classes of white people
In my State and section. No feature of
it is to me more odious than that it is
burdensome to the poor white people,
and in utter contempt of their rights ard
interests. | am friend Of the poor
white people, as | have always been, te-
cause want their children educvted in
the public schools at the expense of those
more fortunate than they who are not
able to send their children to private
schools, and for that | oppose this op-
pressive and abOminabIe usurpatIOn."
Senator BrOwnlow expresses the follow
ing views on negro legislation: The
negro now has the equal protection Of
laws. In words he has equal political
rights with the whites. Besides this, in
all the Southern States he has equal
facilities for education at public expense,
though he does not pay One-tenth of one
per cent. on the dollar of the taxes which
are collected to support the schools.
| No iuvidious distinctions are made
against him Education in these States
is out of the sphere of politics. The
negro is amply protected and the nation.
al Legislature should cease legislating
on the educational question, and Greats
! ing turmoil and bad blood where pro
| gress and good feeling is being secured.
! For several years the greater portion of
| the time of our legislators has been &C.
| cupied in legislating for the negro race.
| Amendment after amendment to the
/ Constitution has been adopted, and law
after law for the further protection Of
| the negro has been adopted, until he Is
now the political equal of the white man.
| Now that this has been achieved, the ne
| gro business ought to stop. The coun-
! try at large is becoming disguised with
! the efforts now being made to Cypress
/ the whites by the passage Of bill which
| is not essential to the protection of the
| blacks" Mr.. brownlow Endorses the
! circular of State Superinte ndent Of Pubs
| lie Instruction Fleming in the following
manner: 1.-The mixed school bill might
1 well be termed bill for the encourages
ment of riot and chaos in the Southern
States, and for the humiliation Of the
widows and the oppression Of the orphans
of the South With nv view of this
question, | am glad to see that the Sus
perintendent Of Public Instruction for
! Tennessee has taken the initiatory step
for the abolition of the whole common
school system of the State that if the
bill should pass the system may be abol
ished without delay. In tle fullest and
most emphatic manner possible | wish
to see Tennessee express the indignation
and disgust of her people at this palpa-
BILE invasion Of their rights in their pure
! IL domestic relations"
