COMING BACK.-The Cincinnati
Gazette says that such men as Senator
Schurz cannot live in the Democratic
party: 'sThey cannot find new one,
and they will naturally drift back into
the Republican party and help make it
what it ought to be. Another year
therefore, will find the Republican par
ty much stronger than in 1874, and
the tidal wave in 1876 will be alto
gether different from what it was In
October and November Of the present
year. 1t will carry into the Presiden-
tial chair Republican, and restore
the House of Representatives to the
same party.

EIGHTH DIsTRIoT.-The Oshkosh
Northeastern, edited by Gen. 7. S.
ALLEN, who was four years Secretary
of State, contains the following article
on the subject Of the election of a
Judge to Congress. II says
We do not see the necessity for SO
much discussion about the result in the
Eighth district. That DIR. McDill was
elected by the people, there is no
doubt. But whether be received a
majority of the votes or not, Judge
Cate is not entitled to certificate from
the State Canvassers. They have ta-
ken an oath to support the Constitu-
ton Of this State. This constitution
says, rs we have heretofore quoted
that all votes cast for a Judge Of a
Circuit or Supreme Court, for polit-
lcal ofics, "6y the legislature or the
people, shall be voad." under this pro-
visisn, We do not net see how the State
Canvassers can count the votes for
Cate, which are :" void" They are not
Congress, and what Congress may de-
eide is none Of their business. They
must act under their own oaths to sup
port the constitution. If the votes
for Cate, then, are void-since he
holds the Office of Circuit Jud ge-then
they have no right to count them, or
TO piya him q certificate Of election.
For under our Constitution, he is not
elected, even if he has majority OF
votes. The State Canvassers, will rem
der themselves liable to a misdemean-
OF by counting these votes, knowing
- they do, that they are void. Let

health, the envy Of the school and the
pride of the household. She was al
ways welcomed by her schoolmates,
for her 1.-THE form and pleasing dispo-
sition carried cbeerfulness into their
ranks. Dilligent, puDctual and exem-
plsry, obedient and graceful at home,
she won the hearts OF all. But, alas,
we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks
and ruddy lips are blauched by Con-
sumption. The voice once 90 enchant'
ing 10 laugh and song is feeble, husky
and supplanted ~ a hollow cough
Let US approach her couch gently and
take her hand. Do not shudder because
of the feeble and passionless grasp.
The hand once so hearty and plump is
emaciated and shows bony outlines,
while the cords aud tortuous veins are
plainly mapped upon the surface. The
pulse that bounded with repletion,
carrying vigor to the whole system,
and imparting lie, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delicate to the
touch. The feeble heart propels the
thin, scanty blood with force. Must
we loose her while vet in her teens /?
Companions and friends gather around
with words of cheer and consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes taud
silent steps. Must we lose her ? No !
there is relief! We can stay this de-
stroyer OF our happiness and not suffer
the loss Of 20 bright jem. Something
more 10 required now than dietry and
hygienic observance, for nature calls
Tor aid and she shall have it. Take
this pleasant medicine. 1t is invigor-
atiug. How it allays the irritable
cough, improves the appetite and d.
gestlon and sends a healthy tingle
through the frame. The blood ia en-.
ricLel, nervous force increased, and
the heart bounds with new impulse.
See her face brighten by degrees; the
color is returning, her voice is getting
clearer, and pleasant words are spoken.
The strenth fau'ters yet but is gaining.
Let us take her out in the warm sun
shine. In q short time che will be

On the morning of the ODD of Sept,

A NUMBER of complaints have reach
ed us from farmers and others, coming
into town, about the great unseemly
pile of store boxes in front of some Of
the business houses. They alarm
horses, are material for a first-class fire
and do nobody any good. The town
Marshal should see to it that all such
distractions are removed from the
streets, for in case of accident caused
thereby, taxpayers would be compell.
ed to foot the bill for damages.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

At a special Communication of Mo.
riah Lodge No. los F. and A. Masons,
held in their Hall, at Powhatan, Ohio,
Sept. % A. ID. 1874, A. l.. 5S74, the fol.
lowing Preamble and Resolutions were
reported and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t having pleased Di.
vine Providence to summon from this
life our excellent fellow citizen and
! Brother, Jacob Coleman, it becomes US
to submit with reverence to Him who
maketh darkness His pavilion. With
pride we refer to the long and devoted
attachment of our deceased Brother to
the principles of Masonry;being made a
Mason in Belmont Lodge No 16, at st.
Clairsville, Ohio, April A. d. 1919, and
charter member of Moriah Lodge.
Thus, for 55 years he was devOtedly
attached to, and Zealously practiced the
sublime teachings of our Order. The
scene is closed; Brother Coleman is no
more on earth; he has travelled to the
end of his journey, and carried with
him and increasing weight of honor;
he has deposited it safely, where mis-
fortune cannot tarnish, where malice
dare not enter. At the ripe age of near
ly 80 years, the enemy at once seized
upon the citadel of life, and apparent
ly without a struggle, death claimed
its victim. In his death society is de-
prived of an exemplary member, and
the Fraternity one of its bright and
honOred jewels, a brightness the grave
cannot obscure.
Resolved, That we tender the be.
reaved family in this their great hour
of trouble, our warmest sympathies,
and commend them 20 the care of Him
who doeth all things well. As token
of respect, we will wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days, and
order that the Lodge be draped in
mourning for ninety days.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the Records, and copy
sent to The Belmont county papers, for
publication. JAS. earle,
