ALLEN.

Two years ago, when William Allen
was candidate for Governor of Ohio, we
uniformly spoke of him in terms of cour-
tesy and respect. But in his recent har-
angues he has shown himself to be a
very low. lying old blackguard, whom
no man should respect. In our paper
this week we reproduce an article from
the Circleville Union, written by Seneca
W. Ely, who was editor of the Chillicothe
Gazette forty years ago, and was neigh
Dor of Allen, and knows exactly what he
says Mr.. Ely is very mild, gentleman
ly man, and was only provoked to tell
these plain truths on account of Aliens
recent outrageous ruffianism and lies.
Gen. Comfy, of the Columbus Journal
one day last week. closed an editorial in
this strong, but truthful language:
"We ask you, once more, candidly and dis
passionately, you be Republican, In
dependent or Democrat,-what is there in the
speeches of this man that is above the quarrel
some profanity and lies, and the tedious auto
biographical boasting, ofany drunken lout who
ever soaked his miserable brain in a cross
road doggery? That is the exact type of Old
Bill Allen-the bar-room loafer who boasts and
vapors and vapors and talks politics at every
village whisky shop That is where he came
from-that is where he would be now, if it were
not for the life interest he holds in the 1890
acre farm" of a father-in-law who thought it
disgraceful to speak to him, in his lifetime"

DEMOCRATS.

In one of his recent harangues, old
Bill said that there are $4,000 office
holders in Washington City-that they
are all thieves, and that they have all
sent money to Ohio to buy Democratic
voters. He said the poor Democrats
would be starving, and some fellow
would step up with the price of dinner
in his hand and thrust it at the Demo
crat and say: Here. Vote against Bill
Allen, and you can have this" And the
poor Democrat would walk up. and for
the price of dinner, would sell his vote.
Such insults offered to poor men by q
candidate for Office, would subject the
old slanderer to mob violence in q less
civilized community than Ohio. This
old tyrant who, in utter violation of all
of the taxpayers, to shoot down men be-
cause they would not work for the wages
offered them, can insult the poor men of
his own party by publicly charging that
they would sell their votes at an import
ant State election, for the price of one
dinner.
There are about two thousand Demo
cratic voters in jackson county, and we
are pretty well acquainted with most of
them, and we do not believe that Bill
Allen and President Grant both of have
money enough to buy the votes of doz-
en- of them. Old Bill Allen must not
;udoe all Democrats by his own standard
of honesty and morality.

MILLER.

l like to talk with you Joseph Miller,
in my own proper person, without the
use of the editorial I'VE"
Like all Democrats, you want to bury
the dead past do not know that
l can blame you. There is good deal
in the past that is dead enough. The
half million men killed in defense of
the life of the nation, when assailed by
Democratic treason, are dead. l look
out of my Office window and see the old
jamestown grave yard, where lie the
bodies of many former friends, and sew
eral strangers, and all lying there in con-
sequence of the treason and rebellion of
your party. No wonder that you are
tired of hearing about the war. One of
the slang phrases now popular with your
party is, 1.-THE bloody shirt" When
your party was numbering men in Kan
sas, in your efforts to force human bon
dage into that free territory, your cry
was. Bleeding Kansas" Yes. You
earnestly desire to have the treason, and
rebellion, and the four thousand million
dollars of national debt, the hundreds of
thousands of graves of dead soldiers, the
scores of thousands of widows and Or
phans, the thirty millions paid the PEN
s:oners-all this and much more, you

l. T. Monahan wants us to furnish
proof that he has sold intoxicating
liquor in violation of law. Our charge is
actionable. Let him sue us for libel, and
we will prove our charge so quick that it
will make his head swim.
Now that he mas come out for free
trade, we will redeem our promise. If
he wants to know how Catholics can get
control of the school funds as our Consti-
tuition now stands, let him go to Del
phos, Allen county, where a Catholic
school board controls the public schools,
and the children even of Protestants
have to cross themselves, and go through
all the mummery and tomfoolery of the
Catholic superstitions. fla school board
in jackson were composed of all of such
men as 1. T.. the priests would soon de-
mand of them, and compel them to re-
quire the children at school to kiss the
image of the Pope's sore toe.

ALEsHIRE, ONCE MORE.

Mr.. Aleshire says we are utterly mis-
taken when we say that he whispered to
the attorneys for the defense during the
trial of Mrs Tilton, for the murder of
Andrew Johnson's little boy. We told
him that we could not possibly have
been mistaken, but that we were willing
to submit it to person who was present,
and took the deepest interest in the
trial-Mr. johnson, father of the muir
dered boy. Mr.. johnson is a calm, can
did, truthful man, and a Democrat, and
could have no political prejudice against
Mr. Aleshire. We had never mentioned
the matter to him, and had no idea what
he would say, but we proposed to admit
as true whatever he might say as to our
charge that Mr.. Aleshire was meddle-
some in this matter, as he is in every
thing else. Mr.. Aleshire said itw our
place to see Mr. johnson. if we proposed
to submit the matter to him. So we
spoke to him about it, on the Isham
House corner, in presence of Richard
Grafton, and Mr.. johnson said that Ale
shire was unduly meddlesome in the
matter-went out to the ground in order
to contradict and break down the testi-
mony of Sammy Hayth, the boy who wit
messed the murder, and that for thus
meddling in the case, he could not vote for
Mr.. AleShire
Now Mr.. Aleshire proposes to publish
the certificates of some of the lawyers
men whose attention was entirely alb
sorbed in another direction. There are
thousand men in the county who will
swear that they did not see Aleshire
meddle in the case, simply from the fact
that they had no opportunity of know
ing whether he did so or not

JOSEPH MILLER.

The following from the Ironton Reg
lister is just as applicable in jackson and
Vinton counties as it is in Lawrence:
"The Democratic orators go through
the furnace region believing against the
National Banks, and seeking to prejudice
the people against the National Banks,
and prejudice the people against, those
institutions. We want to say to the fur
mace hands, that the banks have been of
great assistance to the furnaces, and that
many of the furnaces would go by the
board, and not do another lick of work,
if the Democratic scheme of abolishing
those banks were carried out Some of
our iron men of good credit are being
carried over the panic by the banks.
Suppose you abolish the banks and COM
pei them to call in their loans. Then
the furnaceman will have to meet his pa
per by selling his iron at great sacrifice.
The furnace runs now because the pro-
prietor, through the banks, is able to
float over his financial embarrassments
Compel him to shoulder these embarrass-
ments, which would be done by abolish
ing the National Banks, and he would
have to sell his stock at any price to paw
off the obligations. This course would
leave him nothing to run his furnace on.
This is the programme that the Demo-
Gratis have the hardihood to advocate
right among the furnaces. As far as the
interest of the laboring man is concerned.
they might as well advocate the burning
down of the furnaces. The furnace
hand that votes the Democratic ticket
votes squarely against the interest of the
furnace that gives him employment"

The Paint Valley Times has an edito-
rial which starts out as follows
THE crime of petit larceny in this
community is becoming perfectly alarm
ing. Almost every day we hear of some
thing being stolen from some of our citi-
zens, and yet it is very seldom that any
attempts are made to bring the guilty
parties to trial. Now we ask why is
this 2"
We can tell you why it is. 1t is caused
by the Democratic papers and speakers
urging upon the low, vicious classes that
it is right to plunder every man who by
industry and economy, has saved any
property.
Petty thieving has so increased in this
county during this thieving Democratic
campaign, that the people in some local

capital against labor? Will he answer
Grosvenor's charges? He dare not at

est in Republican administration. But

Sennacherib descended upon the camp
of Israel, it was not strange that these
miners should assemble around their
hearthstones endeared by the memories
of their long labor in the mines the re-
suit of which had caused wealth to flow
into the Golfers Of the operators, and feel
bitterly, and act imprudently. And it
was discovered, about the llth day of
June, that there was a mighty power in
this protest; that when these miners
stood around, regretfully looking over
the labors of their years of manhood, tes-
tifying to the growth and development
of the mining region down there testi-
flying to their industry, their skill, and
their patriotism, if you please, it was not
strange that these men should devise
every possible means within, the law to
prevent such a disaster as that. So it
was found necessary to make some other
movement Something had to be done,
and the result of the movement we
know. When all was peace and quiet,
and the civil process of the court was
respected, and the civil officers were per-
forming their duties with promptness
and fidelity-as Governor Allen says
when that was the case, and the civil au-
thorities were protesting by silence and
by words against the introduction of
armeu men upon 1ne SOIL OF the county,
the chief coal operators saw that there
must be demonstration with muskets,
or these colored men would never go to
work. So this famous dispatch was sent,
upon which, Governor Allen set aside all
law, set aside all the testimony and all
the teachings of history, and everything
but blind subservience to the demand |
of capital, and troops were sent to the
rescue We were told at the time, and |
the journals of the country published it
as fact, that not only were these three |
of troops marshaled but one
of them was stationed at Athens, within
twenty minutes ride of the town-with-

sum nearly three times greater than
that required in the payment of the in
terest on all the 5-20s and other perma-
nent Loans. So it is hoped that the sur
plus coin in the Treasury, at no distant
day, will enable the United States to re-
sumo specie payments upon all liabilities.
The Loan is called 5-20's from the fact
that whilst the Funds may run for 20
years, yet the Government has a right to
pay them off in Gold at par, at any time
after five years.
THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF
YEARLY, viz: on the first days of No
Vember and May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds,
which are payable to bearer, and are $50,
500, $500, $1,000; or Registered Bonds
of same denominations, and in addition
$500, and $1,000. For Banking purposes
and for investments of Trust-monies the
Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 5-20s cannot be taxed by States,
cities, towns or counties, and the Govern
ment tax on them is only one-and-a-half
per cent. on the amount of income,
when the income of the holder exceeds
Six Hundred dollars per annum, all
other investments, such as incomes from
Mortgages, Railroad Stock and Bonds,
must pay from three to FIVE per cent. tax
on the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout the
Country will continue to dispose of the
Bonds; and all orders by mail or other
wise, promptly attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days delay
in the delivery of the bonds is unavoida-
BILE, the demand being so great; but, as
interest commences from the day of
subscription, no loss is occasioned, and
every effort is being made to diminish
the delay. JAY COOKE,

and i'll moment wrapped the roof
above in jets of flame and leaped along
the light galleries. Then all was panic.
The assault was instantaneous it gave

vivors of the disaster hardly know
what happened. 1t WAS all too swift for

Hardly one was there who did not obey
the blind instinct of self-preservation.
In the gallery on the western side
many leapcd from the windows upon
the scatfoldiug of the new brick church
building beside the old one. and most
of the people on the floor chose win
dows or the inside front doors to escape.
All those in the western gallery did
escape. for the stair way leading thence
to the vestihule was direct and easy.
The unfortunate women and men III
the eastern gallery had ii far different
task. The windows were sheer de
scent, not onl Y of their hight above the
floor. but of the embankment on which
the church stood. and then the way
thence to the veStihule. instead of Il

and fell. one upon another. until the
hall beneath was choked with Il DIES
