NEW VOLUME.

With this number the fourth vol
ume of the REPuBL1ckx closes. Our
next issue will be No. l of the fifth
volume. We trust that our friends
and patrons will see the necessity oi
renewing their subscription at once.
We need money badly just now, and
we hope that those who still owe us
for back subscription will come for
ward promptly and meet their obli-
cations. Our expenses are heavy
and must be promptly met, and il
we are obliged to spend money and
time, as we have had TO do in the
past few month, in collecting money
to meet these demands, it takes the
time that should be devoted to our
editorial duties, and our readers
must necessarily suffer more or less
on that account. We trust that a
word will be sufficient at this time
on this subject. We have been
greatly encouraged during the past
few weeks by the large number OF
new subscribers that we have reciey-
81, and we hope they will continue
to come in. -tf

of September, A. D. 1874, since tn,
members of this Regiment were mus
tered out of the United States ser
vice, and in pursuance of my OWE
desire, and the request of many Of
the said members, l hereby notify
the officers and soldiers of the Reg

of said Regiment at Phoenix Hall,
Medina, Ohio, on the said 9th day
of September, to which all are invit-
ed. Arrangements will be made, if
possible, with the Lake Shore d

THE IRON INTERESTS.

The editor Of the st. Souls Times
feels assured that better feeling is
quietly creeping over the iron pro-
ducing regions Of the country.
Having recently visited all the iron
regions of Ohio, Kentucky and In
diana, he writes that everywhere
there is unmistakable beginning Of
an upward tending in prices, and a
large demand clearly assured for the
very near future. Missouri. he says,
has three or four new furnaces, In
diana about as many, Tennessee as
many, Kentucky still less, Ohio
several most excessive ones, there
are three or four in Virginia, and
the same in Alabama and Georgia;
and he has knowledge of at least a
dozen furnace sites determined up
on for 1875. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that strong, steady recrea-
tion from the extraordinary depres-
sion of the past year, has really set
| in. At all events the belief in bet
ter times seems almost universal.
Business men are prepared for a
good fall trade, and they expect it.
Fortunately the prices Of the neces-
saries of life are likely to be cheap,
and it is certain that rents. which
take SO much of the earnings of the
masses, arc comparatively low.
With proper economy and the ex-
ercise Of a hopeful spirit, the dismal
wall OF hard times should soon be
numbered among the things of the
past.

THE JUDICIARY.

Under the present Constitution
we have 5 Supreme Judges ct a sal
ary of $4,000 and 81 Common
Please Judges at s., 500 year max
ing a total for the Judiciary of $142,-
500. Under the New Constitution,
If adopted, We will have 5 Supreme
Judges and 8 Commissioners at $5,
900 each a year, 81 Circuit Judge:
at S, 300 each year and 46 Com
mon Pleas Judges at So, 900 each 9
year, making total for judiciary
Of $261 800. 1t will thus be seen
that under the New Constitution
the Judiciary alone will cost the
State $4,000 more. ear than it does
under the p;esent Constitution.

BURNING OF STEAMER PAT ROGERS

The burning of the steamer Pat
Rogers, on the Ohio river on Wednes-
day, added another to the list OF
steamboat horrors from which the
country has been free for brlel
season. The details are all the more
sickening because of the fact that
the officers seem to have been the
most despicable that ever trod a
deck. Self-preservation was Their
only thought, and score of lives,
which might have been saved, were
lost through their cowardice. Half
a hundred lives were lost. No one
knows how the fire originated, and
investigation will probably find "no-
body to b.ame."

THE GRAssHoPPER-pL PLAGUE.

The grasshopper plague in the
Northwest has no duuht been over
estimated; yet there is much inter
ested discussion as to a possible
remedy. Amid many fanciful pro
positions, a Western farmer very
sensibly declares, that deep plowine
would have kept the grasshoppers'
eggs out of the sun, and prevented
their hatching by the millions in
the Spring. The crops would have
had good start, and later on the
young grasshoppers could do them
but little injury. He thinks that il
is folly for any State to incur the
expense of employing a special en-
tomologist to study their habits and
concludes with the assertion that
no agriculturist need lose his crops
by a plague of grasshoppers, if he
attends to them carefully and intel
ligently. The opinion of a man
like this is of some value. He for
titles his statement with the fact
that old resident farmers, in terri
tories that have been quite as well
stocked with grasshoppers as Iowa
and Minnesota, have uttered no cry
for help.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

After mature deliberation on the
subject, we have come 10 the conclu.
sion to vote against the New Con-
stitution. The people of Ohio have
lived very comfortably and pros
perously under the old, for the past
twenty years, and for all the improve
ment the new one has, it will not
pay to make the change. The cost
of the new one, as far as the max
ing of it is concerned, it is just the
same, whether it is voted down or
adopted. Should it carry, the cost
of making new laws, and codifying
them will be great. In addition to
this, it will cost more to run the
State Government under the new
than under the present one. We
refer our readers to other articles in
to-day's issue upon this subject.
Our tickets then will be:
New CoNsTITUTIoN-No.
LICENsE-No.
MINORITY REPREsENTATIoN-No.
RAILROAD AID-No.

LOVE MAKING At THE PRISON.

A few days since a fine double
team, with driver and footman or
board, dashed up in front of the
penitentiary and stopped, when the
fOotman hastened to the warden's
office and said to Colonel Innis that
a lady at the gate desired to see the
warden. The colonel stepped out
and, after addressing the finely
dressed madam in the carriage, was
asked if she might see her husband,
who was convict under his charge.
He replied that if she was the wife
of any man in the prison she of
course could see him. She alighted
and went into the office. Mean
while the man whose name she gave
was sent for. Before he came the
woman privately told the war den
her she had bill of divorce from
that husband, and it might be that
hew ould not dare to see her, and
she wanted to be advised on that
point before he should come in.
Accordingly the warden met the
husband in the guard room and said
to HIM that his divorced wife was in
the office and desired to see him ii
he was willing. He said he had no
objection to seeing her. He went
into the office, where she met him
with a welcome hand and caress
which were both very coolly receiv-
ed. During the conversation that
ensued she asked him if he intended
home when his time was
out, and told him that his father
had said that he would establish
him in business if he would behave
himself. He indilferently replied
that he didn't know or care much |
where he went to. Her interest in
his behalf was not very warmly re-
ciprocated, and she finally remarked
that she would have to be going.
AS they parted she offered another
which he accepted, seeming
y only as matter Of politeness.
After he had gone back to work she
old the captain of the guard to tell
lin that if he would bc good man
,ntil his time was out and come
lome, she would again join him in
