Governor Jacobs Answer l,,,


The text Of tho answer Of Govern.
or Jacob to the protest Of the Charles.
ton retentionist against auy action on
his part, looking 10 the removal ofthe
seat Of the State government, Is pub.
lishcd in full in the Wheeling papers.
1tteyieHs fully and fairly The argu.
nents advanced by those who are en-
deayoring to prevent the carrying out
Of tho removal measure passed by The
Legislature, aud the clear reasoning it
contains. as we'll rs its freedom from
any effort to shifk any question 10 :
yolyed in the discussion, commend i, to
the appropriated consideration Of the
people Of tho State.
Before taking up the matter Of the
alleged unconstitutionality Of the act
the Governor corree,s tho misappre-
bension that the removal act taking
effect lie made contingent on some
official act Of bis. He says that the
first clause decides that, until other.
wise provided by law, the seat Of gov.
ernmeht "shall be at the city Of
Wheeling" without any action 10 bis
part. lie further says that on aud
after ninety days, the seat Of govern.
ment will be 10 Wheeling, "ehstlsr
or not The puIlie property shall hare
been remOrsd there. The place where
the seat Of government may be Is not
determined by those "incidents" aud
sequences" but BY tho express
declaration Of the Legiilaturc."' Sc
the Governors refusal 10 execute the
duties imposed on him BY the Legis.
lalure would not retain the scat Of
government In Charleston. Ia an.
sWCr to tue argument that there is
something in the bill not expressed in
Tue title. he cites this clause 10 tue

1t follows clearly that at least a
temporary removal Is in force The

And now comes the Cincinnati Com
mercial, and in the sublimity of its i'm
pudence presumes to dictate to the Re-
publican party who shall be its candidate
for Governor, and predicts dire results
unless the candidate of the city bummers
be the man.
What right has the Commercial to put
in its gab2 No paper except the Satanic
New York Sun, has been more filled with
abuse of the Republican party than has
the Commercial. 1t has not been very
long since the Commercial brought out
its candidate for President, one Charles
Francis Adams, and claimed that he was
the man for President. Afterwards it
took large stock in the Greeley foolery,
and thus rendered material aid in the
terrible defeat of the Democratic party
in 1872 The disastrous defeat of Gree
ley in 1872 shows about what the adVo.
cacy of anything by the Commercial is
worth, and its predictions of the result,
before the election that year, shows
about what its opinions are worth
The Republican party may we'll have
grave apprehensions of the result next
fall unless it can find candidate who
will be vigorously opposed and abused by
the Commercial.

There has been great deal of talk for
weeks past, about railroad from Column
bus to Portsmouth, down the Seioto Val
ley Last week it was announced that
the contract had been made for the con-
struction of the road, but we notice that
there was condition slipped in, that
the work is to be commenced as soon as
half a million dollars is subscribed. The
Portsmouth Times throws some light
upon the matter, in the following edito-
rial:
'SCIoTo VALLEY RAILRoAD.-News from Co.
lumbus informs US that the Directors of the
Scioto Valley Railroad Company have entered
into contract with Mr.. Chapman for the con-
struction of the road. The work is not to be
commenced until the full subscription of $780,
600 is raised along the route. The contractor
pledges himself to complete the work within
one year from that time.
ave have no means of knowing how much
is still lacking of the above eamount-probably
from $4,000 to 1900. This matter should be
Immediately understood and arranged for. A
meeting of representatives from each county
should be held, the condition of the fund in
each county reported and the exact deficit
certained. Each county should then be noti-
work inaugurated to realize the amount, and
that speedily. Delays are dangerous. The
amount is nearly subscribed. To postpone work
and endanger an enterprise so vital to
selves and to the people of the whole valley is
folly. Let the gap be closed up, the few addi-
tional thousands of dollars obtained, and an
army of workmen put on the line.''
The people of Jackson county have a
very large interest in having this road
built. Just as soon as it is assured, there
will be measures taken to connect it
with the Portsmouth Branch of the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati road. either at
Wellston, Berlin or Jackson. That will
give US competing line to Portsmouth,
and if we connect at Waverly, it will be
only a very few miles farther than by the
present road, and we will also have a
road almost direct to Chillicothe, Circle
vile, Columbus, &c.

Why should long professions, such as that of
the German Roman Catholic societies on Sun
day, be permitted to stop the street cars? Some
lines of the cars were detained for an hour at
one time, and were gathered in heap by that
stoppage, greatly to the inconvenience of thou
sands. There is no reason for this. There are
noprocessions that cannot have intervals which
the cars can pass through, without causing it
any disorder. 1t is sheer arrogance for any
procession whatever to assume that it is above
any regard for the public convenience. 1t is
the business of our police admin istration to see
to this, without respect to party, color, sect.
- Cincinnati Gazette.
1t does indeed seem strange that there
is not enough public virtue and decency
in Cincinnati to shake off the rule of the
class of people who now have absolute
control of the city. Little over year
ago, some forty or fifty women were
promptly arrested and fined for obstruct t
ing the streets, because they prayed God
to stay the ravages of intemperance. Is
the press of Cincinnati doing its whole
duty2 We doubt it.

1t is impossible to get out a newspaper
without having mistakes in it. This has
often annoyed US, but it is unavoidable
Some time ago we wrote local notice
for Mr.. Thomas of this place, and spoke
of him as shoe dealer The printer
left out the o, and had it "She Dealer, "
In reading the proof we marked the
place to put in the o. but in making the
correction, the printer put in another e,
instead of an o, and it read when the
paper came out, "Mr Thomas, the Shee
Dealer"
In looking over the Hooking Sentinel
last week, we noticed the following:
"Ironton is going ahead. There were only
seventeen persons living in that place in l749.
That is just hundred years behind
the time 1t was evidently meant for
1S49.
And in the same paper was this:
clifton Furnace, Jackson county, went into
blast last week.
That must be meant for Milton Fur
mace Milton should sue for slander. If
it means that the Furnace was named
for Ann Tilton, who is in the Peniten-
tiary for killing a school boy, it is action
able; and if it means the notorious The
odore Tilton, it does not make the mat
ter any better.

creek, overhung by the beautiful trees
and shrubs. Several of the party were
fishing. Some of the women were max
ing wreaths of evergreens. some peeling
slippery elm bark for the children, while
the children. perfectly happy, were run
ming upon the grass, gathering wild flow
ers, and altogether making one of the
most pleasant sights l ever saw, and one
l shall never, never, forget. The dear
little children found hundred things
to delight them. There were the fish,
the wild birds. the wild flowers, and the
great rocks and trees. Children always
have high appreciation of the works of
nature One of the men found land
terrapin, and this was great curiosity
to the children.
In going and coming we crossed Salt
Creek at the rocky rifle opposite the
residence of Levi DUNCAN. at the Dia-
mond Furnace The water falls about
four feet over the western outcrop of
the great salt rock All above this, where
the water has recently fallen, and the
sun has dried the mud, the ground is
covered with salt until it looks very
much like frost. did not notice any of
this salt on the creek below the place
where the salt rock crops out
Some time ago a survey was made for
a railroad from Richmondale to Jackson,
up Salt Creek, and learned that the en-
gineer reported that the railroad would
only cross the creek twice in that dis
tance, and that a narrow-gauge road
could be made for about thirteen thou
sand dollars per mile. Some years ago a
survey was made down Salt Creek by the
Ironton and Columbus company, and the
engineer crossed the creek some twenty
two times. That was about correct OF
course road can be made any place, if
the company has enough money. A road
on Salt Creek, without crossing it some
twenty times, would cost one hundred
thousand dollars per mile. The bottom
is generally narrow, and the creek will
dash against perpendicular rock from
forty to one hundred feet high, then
wheel across the narrow bottom, and in
less than two hundred yards, often in
less than one hundred strike a similar
rock on the other side To make road
on one side of the creek, these cliffs must
be cut down from top to bottom.
Many incidents occurred during this
pleasant day, and the children said and
did SO many original things, that 1 may
work some of them into pebbles here
after.

Democratic papers do not have their
cocks out Growing so much as they did.
They have not carried any village cleo
tions lately, and sadder than all that,
two of their loved leaders-their shining
lights, have died recently. John
G. Breckenridge and Jesse D. Bright are
the men. They were lovely leaders of
the rebel hosts. Breckenridge was their
last Vice-President, and when the war
broke out he was in the U. S. Senate,
and he remained there and did all the
deviltry he could, until after the battle
of Bull Run, he left the Senate and
went into the rebel army, and fought
bravely to destroy the Government
which had done so much to honor him.
No wonder that he endeared himself to
the rebel Democratic heart, and that the
party sincerely mourn his death.
Bright was as vicious a traitor as
Breckenridge, but he had not the courage
to fight. He was sneaking coppernead.
And for this the Democracy love him
also.
