From the Marietta Register
After the Storm.

The thousands of Republicans who
recently voted with the Democrats, in
the feverished hope of checking cor
ruption in the dominant party are, by
this time, probably, satisfied with the
experiment They tried a remedy that
threatens to be worse than the dis
ease.
The Democrats have raised a great
howl of Indignation over the recent
military interference with the mob
Legislature ofLouisiana greater than
they did over the attempt of the whole
South to dissolve the Union
What if the Southern States would
again attempt to secede? It is nom
sense to talk about certain 'sdead is.
Sues of the war. The Democratic
party holds certain ideas of Estate
rights which tend to make the Union
powerless before any rebellieus mob.
Remember poor Buchanan, unable to
decide whether he had any right to
| coerce rebellious State. Suppose,
in the present state of affairs, that the
next President shall be another Bu
chanan. All that the old spirit of re-
bellion asks is s'to bet let alone. -
Democratic Legislatures and Demo
cratic Governors and Democratic in
dignation meetings all over the coun-
try are demanding that incipient re-
bellion in the South be s'let alone''-
"Pshaw ~ says one, 'there is no re
hellion in the South that is dead
issue of the war" And so the Dem
ocratic party comes into power with a
beautiful theory that all is lovely in
the country, except the Republican
party. On this theory, we are not to
assume that there are any ideas of re
bellion floating IN southern air.
1t is not to be supposed that the
Northern Democrats wish to dissolve
the Union; but they want the mex
President. They encourage the spirit
of secession in the South. They tall
about State in anarchy, just as they
would talk if President Grant should
send Gen. Sheridan TO Columbus, o
Governor Allen feigns alarm, just al
if that would be the next move of the
: odious Government at Washington
How adroitly is every reference to tn
real condition of the South avoided
Democratic Legislatures pass resolu
tions which, without explanation
i would seem to indicate that Febera
bayonets had penetrated Heaven
What a political picture is this tha
has raised this Democratic storm!
7 The storm has about spent itsel
The air is little clearer now. Their
q will be more Indignation meetings, bu
e the more of such the worse for tn
: party that seeks to thrive by them
e for we doubt not that vast maiorit
/ of the people are at heart in favor c
E the principles for which the soldier
t of the Union died. The resolution
0 of Northern Democratic indignatio
Y meetings are simply a repetition {
It greetings to the rebellious South

was asked if he had any confession to
make.
No. said he, my chief consolation
in this moment of my death, is that |

You doubt my stories. I have letters
in my pockets to prove that am who

of the ruffians.. Pull away, boys, and
let US get away with this business

may have two minutes to pray in, but

The. rope was Stacked up, and the
doomed boy fell upon his, knees and
engaged in silent prayer.
The two minutes over, the cruel
HANDS at the other end of the rope
pulled it taught, and with another jerk
the poor innocent youth was dangling
between heaven and earth. A few mo-
ments and the dark transaction was
done.
After he was dead the men examin-
ed his pockets, and found letters and
papers proving his identity, and also
proving mis- Innocence The Williams
had literally hung their man first and
heard his defense afterwards. One of
them expressed the fear that they had
been engaged in a bad job. The fact
of the murder came out nearly or
quite as above detailed, ,and occasioned
no little feeling in the vicinity.
1t was months before even a rumor
of the sad fate of the young man
reached his friends in Peoria and else
where They knew him to be out up
on the borders of civilization, and did
not expect frequent letters faom him.
The news was first brought back by a
rough character, who heard it in Kan
sas, but whose word was not believed
1t was not until lately that the matter
was put finally to rest, and the dread
full truth forced itself upon the min DIS
of his friends.

Tobacco Statistics.

The enlightened British nation spend
as much money upon tobacco as upon
daily bread; and in Germany. Fl oil
land, and the United States, more
gold is expended upon this luxury
than upon this time honored staff OF
life
The annual amount expended by
Great Britain on tobacco alone may
be estimated at s64, $40 900 per an
mum; add to this the cost of pipes,
and the various knick-knacks which
go to make up a smokers paraphena-
lia, it will bring up the amount to at
least s67, ,76I 900.
In France, every cigar and every
ounce of tobacco pays tribute to the
government, and at the present time
is said to yield an annual income to
the government of 100000. 900 francs
or more.
Tobacco is dealt out to the soldiers
as part OF their daily rations.
The number of cigars sold daily on
Broadway, New York, is estimated at
/ 10000. OF these one-twentieth part
costs thirty cents, one-fifth twenty. five
cents, one-ffth twenty cents, two-ffths
fifteen cents, and three twentieths- ten
cents Thus Broadway spehds-upon

whole city of New York consumes
100000 cigars yearly, the total cost
of which is $9,65O,0 600; add to this
the amount annually expended fol
pipes and tobacco, and we have an ag.

The Original Crusader of Ohio

The following is an extract from a
message of Governor Worthington,
of this State, Dated December i7th,
1917:
/ cannot close this communication
without calling your attention to one
other subject, which / sincerely hope
you will take into serious considera-
ton, and make such provisions as the
case requires. The immoderate use
of ardent spirits is productive of much
evil in society. Need attempt, gen
tlemen, to prove to you how often the
mother and the innocent children are
brought to poverty and distress, and
often to an untimely grave, by the in
temperance of the more unhappy and
wretched father.
Need remind you of the riots and
litigation which have their origin in
this vice, and is there not good ground
to believe that many Of the worst
crimes against society have their 0ri
gin in the same source Nothing
aids more in the practice of this vice
than what are usually called tippline
houses or dram shops. I have NO
doubt that the putting down of such
houses would have the best effects, a:
they are usually nuisances in society
In relation to which, to provide
against the evils referred to in fami
lies, would it not be proper, in sucl
cases as might require it, of con
firmed drunkards to appoint trustees
or guardians, who should take charg'
Of the property and manage it for tn
wife and children ?''
We find this extract in the Nev
York Evening Post, in communica
ton, the writer of which, in introduc
ing it, says:
Gov. Worthington was the first on
5 of the Ohio Governors who had eve
Z been abroad as traveller in Europe
and the last and only one. He wa
was an elegant and accomplished gen
tleman.

DO THEY MISS WE.

DO they miss me at home:-do they miss me:
n would be an assurance most dear
To know that my name was forgotten
As though bad never been there-
To know that the tailor and landlord.
And the banks where mY paper is due,
And hosts whom now can not mention,
Had banished me quite from their view.
DO they miss me at homes--do they miss me:
When the market for money is tight,
And collectors in haste are pursuing
Their debtors. by day and By nights
DO the friends who once loaned me 'iifty.''
And the others who loaned me = sten.''
Heaye sigh Of regret as they miss me,
And wish they could see me again?
DO they miss me at hOmes-dO they miss me!
Where no longer I'm seen upon Change:
And do those who were wont TO assist me
Does the ShylOek who loaned me his money,
To bear me to regions unknown,
Look in vain for occasions to dun me,
A nd wish again were at home?
Do they miss me at homes--dO they miss me?
IT would be an assurance most dear,
To know that my name was forgotten,
AS though had never been there.
But know that m y memory fingers
Around the dear place, as roam;
And while Eve my wits and my creapers.
They'll miss me-they'lI miss me at home

President Lincoln.s Prophecx.

Speaking of our distinguished
townsman who will lecture at the Op-
era House on next Saturday evening,
the Alton, ILL.,, Telegraph recently
said: Throughout the changes of a
wonderfully brilliant and distinguished
career, not surpassed in the history of
American politics, his genial courtesy
and sterling integrity remained un
changed. The people believe in and
trust his honesty, purity and patriot
ism, Notwithstanding the slurs and
ISLANDERS which envy and malice have
cast upon him. President Lincoln, a
short time before his assassination,
predicted that Mr.. Colfax was destined
to become the Chief Executive of the
nation. Mr.. Colfax was subsequently
elevated to the second position in the
country, and we, with many thousands
of citizens, believe in, and are conf
IDENTIFY anticipating, the fulfllment, in
the future, of the prophecy of th,
martyr President"

Aid Asked by the United States
 Centennial Commissions.

PHILADELPHIA, March l6, 1875.-To John Wasson, Commissioner for Arizona: The Executive Committee at it's last session, relying on the people of the country for timely support, determined as an absolute necessity, to thoroughly organize at once every department Of the Exhibition and to urge forward the work as rapidly as poSSi- ble.
 According to this end the following Bu- reauS of administration were established, viz: Installation, transportation, foreign, machinery, agriculture, horticulture and fine arts. There will be appointed chief for each bureau, who will be subject to the directions of the director-general, and charged with the organization of the de- partment assigned to him and the case of such subjects as may be entrusted to his bureau. These subdivisions with the de- partmentS now in operation will compre. hend all the important subjects of the eX- hibitiOn requiring immediate attention, and at the same time, this organization renders the executive administration of the duties of the Commission practicable and efficient.
 The Executive Committee, however, feels most sensibly the necessity for the support and active cooperation of the Commissioners in creating a local interest in behalf of. the Exhibition in their re- spective States. This is a responsibility that properly devOlveS on each COmmis- Sioner, and it is hoped will engage their early and earnest attention.
 You are aware that the Executive Com. mittee made an application to Congress at it's last session for aid, stating specifically the objects for whieh an appropriation was sought. Aid was again refused, thus leaving the Com mission in the same de- pendent position that em barrassed it at it's last session. 1 regret also tG advise you that with the exception of a generous ap- propriation by the State of New Jersey, and d few recent subscriptions in New York City, the aid to the general funds, from the rest of the country, is not worthy of mention. The Com mission is virtually still dependent on the liberality of the people of this community.
 beg therefore, on behalf of the Execu- tive Committee, to commend this subject to your attention, and to request that you will assist the Finance Board by such agencies as you may deem best, Tn secur- ing subscription te its stock, so that your Territory may be represented in the finance department as it will be by it's in- duStrieS in the Exhibition. It is evident now that we must look to the people to furnish the balance of the means to carry out the plans inaugurated.
 In the present favorable attitude of the country towards the Centennial, we feel assured with the proper effort on your part, the Com mission will soon be relieved of the mbarrassment of dependence on the citizens af Pennsylvania for the personal administration.
 CongrStulating you on the flattering prospects of eminent success for our enter prise,
 am, yours respectfully,
 A. T. GoSHoRN, Director-General.
