That "UnbIushing Rnscality. -

The Sentinel has several times asked us to
explain why there ia but one Republican
paper in the State that does not condemn
the unblushing rascality" of the late
General Assembly. We never deemed the
request worthy Of notice, but ms our neigh
bAr, by Its persisteucy, seems like the hyr-
ochondriac In the we'll, to think there is
something in it, we will, in the abundance
of good nature endeavor to crafty its curl
osity. A failure to recognize and appreci-
ate snch brilliant coruscation of genius az
the Sentinel evidently regards its query,
would be cruel indeed,
The general charge of unblushing ras-
cality," is rather indefinite, but We pre-
sume it refers to the vote upon the Wood
county Enabling Act. Now, we will say,
we have not seen Republican paper, save
the Ssatinel, that has condemned the passage
of that Act, that is, that il ought not to have
passed il. True, q number of them have
imaiverted upon the pretended Influences
brought TO bear upon those who voted for
the bill, bat not one Of them has taken the
ground that the bill ought not to have been
enacted into law. They have rallied
against the assumed means used to procure
its passage, but not against the act itself.
The bill was founded upon just and con-
stitutional principle which no honest man
could or would condemn.

secure its passage? When GORDON found
that his nicely concocted scheme was de-
ieated, he became irate and in a drunken
paroxiRm, preferred his charge of corrup-
tion. The Democrats being in the major
ity and responsible for what was done OF
supposed TO be done, the Republicans were
quick to seize upon this as n means by
which they might cripple or injure their
opponents. As In all such cases, truth and
fairness must not stand in the way ofparty
success. 1t was, substantially, a reiteration
OF the Democratic cry Of Ctesorim and just
as groundless, and ns in that Gaze, few
Republican Journals became alarmed at
tina scare crow stuck up by their opponents;

ia the condemnation OF the legislature,
hoping, by show Of integrity, to ward
of the evil effects which they feared the
charge might have upon the party.

Carpet Exrsrs. En-!

The exact particulars OF that recent Dem
ocratic State Trcasurer's steal in Georgia
are, that Sl59,2j0 was stolen outright; /;
S62y9lZ SO was illegally paid out, and
S509,S17 so is missing. The Treasurer,
however, utterly refuses to resign, and
there is some talk OF retiring him on full
pay, and letting financial agent run the
office. In Arkansas, too, we observe that
hetween fifty and sixty sherifis elected un-
der the new constitution were found, a
short time ago, to he dcfaulters in sums
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000, and now
General Newton, financial officer of the
State il discovered to be defaulter in the
sum Of S5S,000. A very honest crowd,
truly; and this is only the beginning.
Now, why don't the Democratic organs
howl II little about carpet bag government?

Prospects Tor the Scnson.

The hardest and most disagreeable Of
recent Winters has at last yielded to the
bright sunshine and cheer OF Spring Ma
ture begins to awaken from her long sleep
and war the aspect of life and hope and
pro ,peri;y. This awakening is like q
beautiful morning after a night OF storm
and gloom. While the Winter clothed
hearth with usual dreariness, and the uni
versal depression of business made people
uneasy and anxious, Spring opens with Il
restoration to nature OF her beauties and con-
ilence and activity in business circles 1t
is true that many predictions of a dull
Spring trade and an everlasting panic are
freely made, but they come from that class
of men who prodHced the panic by push
ing the business OF the country beyond it's
legitimate limits, and who seem to be una
ble to appreciate reasonable and healthy
prosperity. Unless they can see that reck-
less extravegance and destructive inAa-
ton of business which preceded the panic,
which it is entirely probuble-at last it is
hoped--they never will see, they seem de-
termined to refuse to acknowledge that
there is any business whatever.
II our factories had not been kept run
ming night and day when the markets were
already glulted with their fabrics if i'm
portations had not been pea mitted to drain
our mints while every shelf was already
loaded down with imported merchandise
if the buildings OF railroads had not been
carried to an unreasonable and ridiculous
extreme; If, in short, the country had not
persisted in doing a business which was
quite insufficient for population six times
the size of ours, we never should have had
panic. Our entire business was as the IN i
multuous and dangerous sea, and it now
begins to assume the placidity of the lake.
Our younger merchants, at least, learned a
lesson in the financial crash which was en-
tirely too severe and thorough for them to
forget while any of us may live, and henc :
forth they will studiously avoid The reck-
lessness which then nearly shipwrecked
them. Business, therefore, is vastly moro
quiet in consequence, but il is vastly more
healthy. The prospects seem generally
good for profitable season for all classes.
The farmer can proceed with his plowing
and planting with an assurance that the
general prosperity will furnish remuner-
alive market for his products, and that
Summer will find confidence among bust
meas men fully restored and everybody con-
tented.
1t il true that the unwelcome news Of
the partial failure Of the wheat crop comes
to ms, hut the Resiera Rural contents It
self with the heliet that the general inn

bic the consumer TO pay the neecfsarily in
creased price of that article, and the in
crease will he so large that the diminished

return as II there had been full yield
The prospect is good under any view Of

A Democratic View OF the Geghan
Bill.

That was very absurd tag to the bill
for the care of pauper children, which pro-
posed to provide that the pauper children
should be brought up in the religious faith,
ascertained or presumed, of their parents.
1t was equally ridiculous with bill which
has actually become law in Ohio, securing
to convicts their choice of clergymen. The
religious preferences of man who has
not religion enough to keep out of Jail are
about the last thing sensible legislature
would consult. man who has become a
disgrace and burden, instead OF an orna-
ment and defence to the community, had
best take what religion the community
supplies him with and be thankful. There
is no religion which he could not behave
himself better by than the one which he
has previously preferred and practiced,
whatever form of religion or irreligion he
has professed. His preferences would
lead him away from religion and also from
penal servitude, and are in both cases to be
profoundly disregarded. The case of pau
per children stands on the same footing
Parents who have left their children to be
taken care of by the community, have no
possible claim on their children or on
the community in respect to their children.
Their children cannot be brought up in n
worse religion than that which has brought
them to n dependence upon charity. The
Bible will inform the Legislature that he
who provdeth not for his own ia worae
than nm infidel, and, by consequence, that
any religion is better than his religion
The whole business is a disgusting piece OF
sentimental slop, il it is no worse.-New
York World

Accounts from all parts of the country
are to the effect that the last few weeks
have effected great Improvement in the
prospect for wheat crop. It Is especially
noted, everywhere, that the wheat put in
with drill is in far the best condition
1t is not improbable that the gain in yield
of the entire crop of the United States
had it been planted with the drill instead
OF any portion being sown broadcast, would
have been sufficient to pay for every drill
used in the country.

The Cincinnati Enquirer having made
the assertion that the Ga.ettc, of that city,
had declared that anti-Catholicism should
be made plank in the Republican plat
form OF Ohio this fall, the latter paper thus
esponds:
The Gazette declared no such thing. The
State has no more to do with the Roman
Catholic Church as a religious body than
it has with any other denomination but
when the Roman Catholic Church demands
certain and exclusive privileges when it
goes 10 the Legislature and demands the
passage OF an act in its interests; when a
political party yields 10 that demand, and
the Church in return promises that party
the solid Il I'M an Catholic vote, we oppose
hH policy, and shall aim to secure, through
the b :. 10: box, the repeal Of the Geghan
bill. If you call the Geghan bill, and the
persistent effort to destroy our free school
system, or to use any portion of the school
tax for the support Of sectarian scho ola
Catholicism, then the Gazette is anti Cath
Ollie, and the Democratic party ia pro-Cath-
olic. Upon this ground the Republican
party will accept the Issue made by the
Roman Catholic Church and the represent
atives of the Democratic party, and the
people of Ohio will have fair opportunity
to decide the question at the ballot box.

People complain of the high taxes they
have TO pay TO support the government.
But they never seem to take an account Of
the immense sums they annually pay for
commodities that are Of little use to them.
For instance, there is annually expended
for dogs, Sl0,O0o,0Oo; criminals, Sl2,000,-
900; law suits, S35,000, ,OOO tobacco, SlO,-
100000; and for liquor, 50, 100000. II
people would live in strict accordance with
the decalogue and the rules Of temperance
and comm OH sense, these vast sums would
be saved and men would have money to
spend for benevolent purposes and rational
and health giving amusements.
