THE CENTENNIAL ONCE MORE.

THE CENTENNIAL ONCE MORE.
In all countries, matters that affect
industry, must of necessity be amongst
the principal subjects of thought aud
discussion; but especially is this the case
in our favored country, famed for its in
dustry, and situated as we are, outside OF
the direct influences of other great na-
tions, and but indirectly concerned i'll
their quarrels, and then only rs they cf'
feet our trade and commerce. The late
bitter experience Of war has taught US,
like Great Britain, the value and blessings
of peace, and the Importance
of all movements tending to
promote it; and the present
depression Of trade, is, no doubt, due, in
great measure, tothc effects of the late
war. We are glad to note, however,
many signs of improvement, agreat deal
of which is probably due to the stimulat-
Ing effect of the approaching Centennial,
and the desire that our citizens may pro-
fit by the same now, and for many years
TO come, must be our apology for again
calling attention to it.
The appointment ofthe State Board OF
Managers, by the Governor; and OF local
Boards in the various counties of the
State, gives Us reason to hope good re,
suits from the gentlemen composing them.
The local Boards, from their intimate
knowledge of the industries and
productions Of their sections and the
prominent individuals connected with
them, can, and we trust Will, do much
To- disseminate information, excite cuthu-
siasn, and secure not oulya complete rep

regret to see this for many reasons, the
principal ut which Is that the larger coun-
tries and States, 10y the very amount OF
space they occupy, tend to concentrate
attention upon themselves; while equally
or even more rneritorlous collections
ARE thrown in the background. We can
certainly appear to better advantage in

than in mass, and it docs appear strange

commentary on the management of the
Democratic party. Behold, did not that
party promise, If placed in power, that
it would reduce taxation, and has II not
well nigh doubled thcm?-W. ia. Jour
nal.
That is a specimen Of the kind of cap
,tal West Virginia Radicals have to bank
upon. Yet, look at the facts AS they eX-
list. OF course we cannot say positively
that. had the Radicals remained in power,
the list of delinquent taxpayers in the
Kanawha Valley, as well rs through
out the State, would have been
much larger than it is today.
but we can say tina: there is every reason
to suppose such would most surely have
been the case. "By their fruits We shall
know them" Guided by this rule let Us
take for example Louisiana, which has
under Radical rule, been almost ruined,
and where taxation is as high as $50
on the 800; or South Carolina, where
taxation under Radical rule almost
amounts to conhscation; or Texas, where
bonds of the State were, under
the Radicals, only worth 40 cents
on the dollar, while now, after
two or three years of Democrats
rule they are selling above par in
New York; or Mississippi, or
indeed any single Southern State
under the Radicals, and see its history.

ance of the High School for this term
was So We had fine. attendance on
Friday of both pupils and parents
Thursdays work consisted of an oral
examination, which was creditably passed
by thepupils. fridays work in the High
School consisted of recitations by the
secondary grades. The answers were
promptly given, and attested the diligent
work of the pupils during the past school
year.
At12Oclock NJ, all the scholars were
invited into an unoccuIieo room where
stood table grandly laden with luxuries
and dainties of almost endless variety
All appeared to enjoy themselves finely,
and the only drawback seemed to be that
the ability to eat was not equal to the
abundance of food furnished. 49,

some of the Wesser IN States has STAYED
the ruinous contraction Of the currency
in the interests of eastern capitalists
Ohio stands to-day the recognized cham
pion OF the interests of the masses on
the currency question, and her Democra
,cy are the color-guard Of her banner. If
this champion falls the money kings will
riot on the bankruptcy OF their less opu-
lent neighbors
Our conclusion Is, that whatever may
be thought in New York or elsewhere, the
money question has, and of right ought
to have, the foremost place in the issues
before the people of Ohio this fall.

Ed. SprRIT-Dear Sir. Maybe some
thing from Kansas would be Of interest
to your many readers. AS grasshoppers
are the general talk here, we will COM
imence with them. They have nearly all
left here; q great many were killed by
the maggot spoken of by DuDkel and
Stout, Of Fort Scott. They did great
deal of damage here; in this neighbor-
hood most all the corn and oats was ia
ken; hardly anything in gardens has es-
capped; fruit trees and hedges we're con-
siderably damaged. ds9
Three herds Of cattle and horses have
passed through here in the last ten days
number of head in each herd, l25, Loo
and 240 They came from Jackson and
Cass Counties, Missouri, and are going
to Coffee County, in this State. The
owners have been compelled to drive
their stock from their homes on account
of the destruction of their pasture by
the 'hoppers. They club together, put
their stock in herds, and hire man OF
men to take them back to the range
where they will be kept until winter.

A Reform Needed,

Two cases were tried in our court last
week involving the collection of notes
the signatures to which were either OBJ
tanned by fraud in manner unknown to
the payers,or were outright forgeries. In
both cases the payers testified unequivo-
cally that they never signed such notes,
and their testimony was strongly corrob-
orS Sted by circumstances and by other
witnesses. Both were reputable men
whose veracity has never been ques-
toned ,a4a
In these cases the defendants gained
their causes, in the one instance at the
hands of the court, and in the other by
the verdict Of jury. But the develop
ments of the trials indicated that under
existing laws notes obtained as these
were may be collected and indeed it is
notorious that hundreds Of them are col
lec:ed every year. na.~af, ei.fa
Is there not something wrong with the
laws which can be thus used to take
money from the pockets Of honest men,
and place it 10 the purses of scoundrels
by the most obvious fraud2 II is Ger.
tainly not complimentary to the wisdom
of those who enact our statutes, or those
who have nodded oar common law, that
by little care in transferring, and a lit.
tie shrewdness in testifying, an utterly
worthless bit Of paper can be transform
ed into a valid note against man who
never heard of 1t before.
So profitable has this species Of ras
cality become that probably no county
in our State has escaped it. The plain
tiff in the cases tried here testified tina
he had purchased of these notes to th'
amount OF s12,5Oo in a single transac
ton; and the aggregate in the State vii
no doubt foot up hundreds Of thou
sands.
No other field for rascally operation
! is so inviting as this. 1t requires les
skill and less labor, Is more secure, ant
brings in larger returns than counterfeit
ing, committing burglaries or any OF tn
class OF villainies to which these belong
4 For its successful working 1t Is onl
necessary for two glib-tongued, prepos
sessing operators to obtain few signs
lures to harmless looking papers,and a
"innocent holder" to sue on the notes.
In their efforts to effectually guar
) commercial paper our lawmakers hay
'lpermitted their zeal to carry them TO
far. There is loud demand for q r
form In this matter.

GEThe Guernsey Jefersoniam of last
week contains an editorial, and also a
letter from Hon. VIM. LAWRENCE, on the
Senatorial question. AS we received the
IJefersonian aftet the type wass nearly
all set for this paper, We are deprived of.
the privilege of copying these articles.
The editor explains that he had not
seen our remarks when he stated that he
was not aware of the basis on which the
Monroe County Central Committee acted,
and we unhesitatingly acquit him Of any
want of fairness in the matter. He then
adds, sin the breaking up of the old ar
rangement between the counties two
years ago, by the action of Monroe
County, the whole question was. again
opened = i
He would have added macb.to the
value of his editorial IL he had explained
what sold arrangement" existed, who
made it, and in what way Monroe C9un-
ty broke it up. We regret the absence
of this information all the more, as we
are aware Of no other person who is in
possession of it.
The Guernsey County Convention
meets to-day, (Monday,) } and to 1t he re
fers the whole subject. -
| Mr.. LAWRENCE disclaims that he was
present on behalf of Guernsey County
|or that he pledged Mr.. LAUGHLIN to ont
term, but states that he did say that h'
had no doubt THAT his "utterances there
would be accepted by the Democracy o
Guernsey as we'll as by Mr.. LAUaHLIN.
! We trust that our readers, less stupid
i than ourselves, can see o wide differences
between saying that they would accep
one term, and saying he had no doub
tthey would accept one term.
Mr.. LAWRENCE calls attention to th'
fact that "a large portion Of Noble Coun
. ty is included in the district and claim
very properly her proportionate repre-
sentation." This shows very crafty
ing enlargement Of Mr.. LAWRENCE
vision since the convention Of two year
ago, when this very point was ufgentl
pressed upon him, but in vain. ~
Both the editor and Mr.. LAwRENc
favor the calling of district convention
and unless the action of the Guernse
County Convention shall have renderet
lit unnecessary, we agree with them i
this opinion. Believing that il such
convention be called, aud If the Demo
Gratis Of Guernsey be fairly represente
in it,equal and exact justice will be don
we forbear further comment at presen
and await the result.

to the Methodist Episcopal Chapel in
Kingkiang looked into the chapel keep
er's room and asked if his son was
there. NO. replied the chapel keeper,

him. The man was not satisfied, but
persisted in saying that his son was
there. and he knew they had him, and
that the foreigners wanted to take the
bows heart and eyes out to make medi-
cine. This seems to have reused the
chapel keepers ire, for he replied with
indignation that foreigners did nothing
of the sort, and wondered that the man
could be such fool as to think so.-
While the two men. we're arguing the
matter, large crowd gathered in the
narrow street, the man shouting at the
top of his voice that his son was in the
foreign chapel, and that they wanted
the boys heart and eyes for medicine
At the same time the two men fought
in the narrow street in front Of tht
chapel; and the crowd began throwing
stones at the doors and windows, finally
smashing in both, and then poured into
the chapel, where, in a very. short time

chairs were reduced to firewood; from
thence into the school rooms, one ate
