Crown CITY Items.

EDITOR JOURNAL; - The license
men held a meeting in this place
Saturday last. Their number was
very small. am well satisfied there
was not more than three voters in
Crown City who turned out, and not
more than seven or eight from the
country. Even the boys were scarce
and far between. So from this you
will understand that we expect Crown
City and Gnyan township to 90 nc
license. On the above occasion, af
ter they had drummed about the vii
lage awhile and got their crowd to
gether, they marched off to the place
that they had selected as the place to
elevate a license pole. The spirits
began to assemble with them, and
they began to show symptoms of the
inspiration of the-you know the rest
but finally got the pole on its end
then the intelligent part of the thing
began. One man got up to deliver
himself of what he had to say on the
license question, and got off the fol-
lowing:
GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS
l fought under that flag four years,
(meaning the one just lifted up) yes
| did, I'll be id if | didn't; that
flag means license or no license, fight
or no fight, id if it don't; it means
war or no war.
One of the speakers became so full
of elOquence that he could not hold
himself for his turn to come, but at
last got the stand-or rather the
ground-and he opened his mouth
and the following eloquent language
rolled out of him SO fast that you
would have imagined he had swallow
ed Webster:
GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS:
/ don't want to be ruled by the tenn
perance women; we mean fight or
no fight by Cd.
He then jumped up and cracked
his feet and left. All this stuff is to
show you what kind of men are 90
ing for license in Crown City, and
also in Guyan township. We do not
want to force men to do anything, but
we would love to see men who have a
vote on the 18th day of August go to
the polls and vote for their own in
terest-vote license no and Constitu-
tion no. Remember it is no political
question. SAM.

WE are under great obligations to

WE are under great obligations to
our Saturday cotemporary for the
distinguished honor it conferred upon
us in the publication of our testimony
in the SEMoN case, to the exclusion
of all others. We appreciate the high
consideration, and if we had taken
notes of the Sarsaparilla testimony
of the editor of said sheet, we should
have done the same clean thing to
ward him.
The family organ-issued weakly
every Tuesday noOn-is not so
much respector of persons-gives
all the evidence. But then, he gives
particular prominence to our evidence
in his head lines, all of which means
that "old Truth and Justice" 1--WE
mean the JOURNAL is power in the
land. We can't return the compliment
in the same way to this organ grinder,
as he was not witness. He has an
aristocratic way of drinking-one
that conforms more to his habits OF
selfishness and stinginess-he goes to
his own cellar for it. Well, we can
acknowledge the high consideration
he bestows upon us-we owe him one,
and have full materials for payment.

Forsae Gallipolis Journal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Permit me through
the medium of your valuable paper
to call the attention of the Trustees
of the several townships of the coun-
ty of Gallia, to the duty and impor-
tance of providing and maintaining
suitable places for procuring water,
for man and beast along the public
highways in their respective town
ships, during the hot weather of the
season.
The present season has been re-
markably hot and dry, and persons
who liye remote from the Ohio river,
or other large streams, and have
been compelled to ride or drive from
ten to twenty miles through the ex-
treme heat and over the dusty roads
(without finding water for themselves
or their almost furnishing animals)
have had cause to complain of the
officers whose duty ills to set up and
maintain suitable watering places for
the convenience of the public. There
are many sites along the roads and
highways of the county where suita-
BILE troughs might be provided and
maintained at a very trivial cost, and
which, if provided and kept in good
condition, would conduce greatly to
the comfort of both man and beast.
The writer hereof heard q gentleman
living in Greenfield township say,
only day or two since, that he had
to ride from home to GS'lipolis, dis
tance of more than tN enty miles on
one Of the hottest days of the season
without finding water for his horse.
Such cruelty to animals occasioned by
the neglect or parsimony of persons
whose duty it is to provide against
such evils, is simply inexcusable.
No taxpayer ought to complain of
the amount required to make and set
up good trough, (such for instance
as may be seen at or near the resi-
dence of Harrison Wood, il Raccoon
township, } at every point where the
same can be dons. 1 hope, Mr.. Edi-
tor, you will jog the memory of those
persons whose duty it is to attend to
such matters, so that there may be
no reason for complaint when an
other hot season arrives.

eous," as Butler said, is a good year
for those who make no pretence to
righteousness. 1t raises them in
their own estimation, puts an end to
some prickings. of conscience, and
opens up new fields Of activity.
There is no rascal in the country To-
day who is not openly or secretly
hoping that Beecher may not sue
ceed in extricating himself from the
net in which he is now entangled.
And then there are thousands of men
who are really not rascals, and pass
as very respectable, to whom the
downfall of anything great or re-
spectrble in human society is some
how a satisfaction, though they do not
well know why, and are often ashamed
to confess it to themselves. The
source of this feeling is one of those
mysteries of human nature on which
neither the naturalists nor the theo-
logians have thrown much light, and
it is one which nobody who wishes to
think well of his kind likes to ex-
plore. To say that it is a form of
envy is simply to name without ex-
planning it. OF its wide diffusion, of
it's powerful influence in our social
life, one knows comparatively little
until one witnesses the progress of a
scandal such as that is to-day the
talk of the country. 1t is intensified
toward religious people by the neces-
sary ostentation of their professions,
and by their tendency to treat as mere
temporary lapses from virtue, which
can be atoned for and reformed by
the technical process of repentance,
things which men of the world, some
times wrongly, set down as IRENE
diable defects of character.

"Answer not Fool according to
his Folly, lest thou also be like
unto him."
The whisky organs, whose editors
have q curbed bit in their mouths,
cannot understand independent jour
nalism-how a paper can be run free
of the entangling alliances of cliques
and rings. They are controlled by
q power greater than themselves, and
they judge that other sheets must be
run in the same channel, and through
similar influences. This is always
the case where brain power is lack
ing. The fool is blown about by
every breeze, but the wise man faces
the storm, and goes forward in the
discharge of duty regardless of the
fury of the elements that is raging
around him. The JOURNAL is alone
the "organ" of its editors-as free in
its aspiration after truth and justice,
as is the course of the eagle in its
sweep through the realms of space.
The fools do not understand this
have not the brain power to reach for
and appreciate its pure and sublime
heights, and hence their low, grovel-
ing, personal attacks upon every
thing that is pure and good. They
have not the moral or the brain pow
er to break loose from the ring which
encircles and controls them-they are
bound hand and foot, and mind, to
power which makes of them mere
puppets-and though they may some
times cause the thoughtless and un-
godly to laugh, and take an extra
drink, still they excite the compass
sion and sympathy of the pure and
good over their lost and degraded
condition. The efforts for their
reclamation should be continued.
Though bereft of brains, and thus
placed beyond the reach of intellec-
tual means and appliances, still they
possess some of the animal instincts,
and through these, by the same pro-
cess that domestic animals are made
subject to mans use, may be brought
into condition more humane, and
into pursuits more sanctifed by
truth. We speak in behalf of bru-
talized humanity, in behalf of order,
of sobriety; in behalf of devils in
human shape, who go about like the
roaring lion, seeking the destruction
of everything that is noble and of
good report; seeking to drag down
to their own haunts of vileness and
debauchery the pure and the good;
in behalf of these grand and worthy
considerations, we speak for contin-
ued and more persistent efforts to-
ward the reclamation of these fallen
and despised creatures. Our sym
pathies are moved as they never were
before, and the JOURNAL will be found
a willing aid, (not ''organ, in bring
ing these animals into uses higher

A New Comet Found.

ROCHESTER, N. T., July 30-In :
communication to The Democrat daC
Chronicle, Prof Swift says:
A new comet was discovered al
Marseilles, France, ON Sunday morn
ing last, in the constellation Draco
the announcement of which reached
me this morning. 1 began searching
for it at early darkness, and in a few
minutes caught sight of the stranger.
1t is quite large and bright for a
talescopic comet, and has strong
central condensation, but as far as
could judge by observation both in
the solar and lunar twilight, it has
no nucleus or tail. 1t is in the
fourth coil of Draco, and moves at
the rate of about one degree a day.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I was glad to
see the well-merited rebuke in the
JOURNAL of the slander and falsehood
of the Gallipolis Bulletin, in regard
to the temperance people of Gallipo-
lis. The editors course on all sub
jects of public interest seems to be
about the same. His editorials are
coarse and rough, full of malignant
SANDER and venom; he strikes wild
ly about like one that 'beateth the
air." In the hope of its being of
some benefit to the said editor, ask
you to publish the following, taken
from the "Nation." ! feel in hopes
that he will read the article carefully.
which may cause him to "see himself
as others see him." Others may
profit by it. JUSTICE.
MR.. BEECHER's OPPONENTS.
From the Nation.
1t is impossible not to be struck by
the tenderness with which Mr.. Beech
er's case has been approached, by
the reluctance displayed on almost all
sides to believe ill of him, by the
eager hopefulness with which his de-
fense has been listened to, and by the
height and breadth of the favorable
presumptions by which he has been
surrounded. 1t is true that much of
these presumptions rests on forty
years of unblemished character. but
much, too, is supplied by popular in
diligence for man whom the country
has greatly trusted and greatly loved. |
On the other hand, however, a vast
amount of the interest taken in the
case springs from motives with which |
neither love of him nor love of JUS
tice has anything to do. Thousands |
on thousands gloat over the story |
simply because it is scandalous; thou
sands more because the standard set
up by such a man as Beecher seems
a constant condemnation of their
own ways and aims. The overthrow
Of a great moralistis always triumph
for those who deny that there is any
but what each man manu-
factures for himself. 1t acts both as
4 justification and an encouragement
