SILENT MES.--Washington never made
a speech. In the zenith of his fame he
once attempted it, failed. gave it up con
fused and abashed. In framing the Con
stitutiOn of the United States, the labor
was almost wholly performed in Com
mittee Of the Whole, of which George
Washington was the Chairman, but he
made two speeches during The Conven-
ton OF few words each. something like
one Of Grants speeches. The Conven-
ton, however, acknowledged the master
spirit, and the historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity,
and the thirty words of his first speech,
pronOuneing it the best that could be
united upon, the Constitution would
have been rejected by the people.
Thomas Jefferson never made a speech.
He could not do it. Napoleon, whose
executive ability is almost without a
parallel, said that his greatest difficulty
was in finding men of deeds rather than
words. When asked how he maintained
his influence over his superiOrs in age
and experience when Commanderin-
Chief Of an army in Italy, he said by re-
serve. The greatness of the man is not
measured by the length of his speeches
aud their number.

WAITING FOR HOME.-I do not know
a more beautiful sight on earth than a
man who has served his Lord for many
years, and who, having grown gray in
service, feels that. in the order Of nature,
he must soon be called home. He Is re-
ioicing in the first fruits Of the Spirit
which he has obtained, and he is pant
ing after the full harvest which is guar
anteed to him. think see him sitting
on a iuttiDg cTag by the edge Of Jordan,
listening to the larpers on the other side,
and waiting till the pitcher shall be bro
ken at the fountain, and the wheel at
the cistern, and the spirit shall depart
to the God who gave it. A wife waiting
for the husbands footsteps, aehild wait
ing in the darkness Of the night till it,
mother comes to give it the evening kiss,
are portraits of our waiting. ItisaPre-
eious thing so to wait and 20 to hope.
Truth is an immortal fiower-a thing
that has nothing to fear from circum-
stanees-a post where danger has no
power.

the liberties of the people were about

THE Dayton Journal says: ''There is
supreme satisfaction in supporting n
man for Governor whose reputation for
ability, pure character and patriotism
tested on many battle-fields are unques-
toned. If there is any objection TO vo-
ting for Hayes, it cannot possibly be
based upon personal grounds, for there
is absolutely nothing disparaging to be
said of him. When he entered political
life he was taken up as pure citizen and
able lawyer; he volunteered his services
when his country called for soldiers to
preserve the Union, and made n splendid
record in the field; ne accepted Il nomi-
nation for Congress against his earnest
protests, acquitted himself honorabIy
there; he was spontaneously taken up
for Governor of Ohio, and was twice
elected, and retired from the Office with
the praise Of the public as the best Gov
ernOr Ohio ever had,' and now for this
record and these merits ne is again drawn
into public life in spite of his often ex-
pressed desire to be left in self chosen
retirement. IL such n man cannot be
elected by the people of Ohio, all efforts
to draw our best men into public life
might as well cease"

From the Wood County News.l
SOMETHING ABOUT NEW COUNTIES.


We took occasion to say in last weeks
Mems that the organization OF n new
county out of Wood SanStasky, Seneca
and Hancock counties, is impossible.
We do not refer to this matter because
we for n moment harbor thought that
such a thing will ever be done, but there
are persons wholly Unacquainted with
the law bearing upon these subjects, who
are by designing persons imposed upon
and led to believe that such n thing can
easily be done. Now, as we dc not ask
that our assertions through the NcinS be
taken nnless based upon good reasons
and facts, we will show
WHY NRw COUNTY IS IMPOSSIBLE.
TO make n new county, then we will
include IN ih" supposed segregation
from Wood, the townships of Montgom
cry, Bloom and Perry. From Sandusl.y,
Scott township, and from Seneca, the
townahips Of Jackson, Louden and Big
Spring. From Hancock, Big Lick,
Washington, Cass and part of Allen
townships, making for the new county
by this estimate ten and IL half town
ships, which is the smallest amount of
territory it would he reasonable TO sup
pose it could ernhrae..
TO make this new county, then, leaving
Wood out of the question, it would he
necessary TO despoil Sandusky OF one
township, Seneca ofthree, and Hancock
of three and a half townships, leaving
Seneca with twelve townships instead OF
fifteen, and with her county seat near
the west line of her territory, leaving
Hancock with fourteen and half town
ships, and her county seat Within about
five miles of the southeast corner of her
boundary limits. We have not taken
intO count the fact that the people who
were voting themselves intOa a new conn
ty, would also entail upon themselves
the tax burden necessary for new build
ings and the attendant expenses. Now
let us see what the Constitution of Ohio
says, and III order that any man who
chooses may go into Justices Office and
see for himself, we will state that in ar
ticle III, sec 80, treating on
NEW COUNTIES,
will be found the following:
mo new county shall contain less than
four hundred square miles Of TERRITORY, nor
shall any county he reduced below that
amount and all laws creating new counties,
changing county lines, or removing county
seats, shall, before taking effect, he submit
ted to the electors of the several counties to
be affected thereby, at the next general cleo
tion after the passage thereof, and be adopt
ed by a majority of all The electors voting
at such elections, in each of said counties"
BY this it will be seen that the Con
stitntion of Ohio mot law that Leg
islature can change) provides that no
change can be affected without a major
ity vote of all the counties effected. If
it were possible to get majority vote in
Wood for such project, it would be
beat in the other counties ten to one,
hence we have said, and we think those
who have even thus hastily examined
the question with us, will agree with us
that it is among the impossibilities, at
least for 20 years to come, when the peo-
PIE of Ohio may again be called upon to
vote on a new Constitution.

And lay down Ia slumbrr.
Looking backward, We, to-day,
All their graves may number.

A PROBLEM SoLvED.-"What becomes of
needles and pins 2" is question" partially an
swered. Grandma is dear, precise old lady,
much given to the making of pretty pin-cush-
ions for others, while those devoted to her
own use grow old in service. On one of those
stormy days when access to ''the store" is i'm
possible, it was discovered that mammals work.
box was destitute of needles. In the emergen-
cy, grandma determined to open pin-cushion
which had done her good service for seven
years, hoping that one or two needles might be
concealed therein. The result astonished all
interested; one hundred and ffty-three
shining needles did that greedy cushion dis
gorge: and mamma Instantly collected all the
Old cushions the house contained, hoping to
increase her store. The result exceed her ex-
peetations; from one cushion was extracted
one hundred and seventy-fve. needles, and
from the other one hundred and ten.-maklng
in all, from the three cushions, four hundred
and forty-eight needles These needles we're
packed into the centres of the cushion and
had all been slowed away in six or seven years.
Doubtless many millions of needles are hid
away in cushions after this manner throughout
the country which might be restored to useful
ness, ifthe boys were set to work on rainy days
to keep them out Of mischief.

A REMEDY WORTH kNoWING.-We ire
ouently read in the papers of some one VINO
has stuck rusty nail in his foot, or knee or
hand, or some other portion of the body, and
that ockiaw has resulted thcrefrom, of which
the patient has died. If every person IN tue
world was aware of a perfect remedy for all
such wounds, and would apply it, then such
reports must cease. But although we can give
the remedy, we can not entorle the application.
Some will not employ it because they think it
is too simple; others have no faith in it when
they read it, while others often think such a
wound of small account and not worth fussing
over until it is too late to do any good. Yet
all such wounds can be healed without such
fatal consequences as follow them. The rem
edy is simple, almost always at hand, and can
be applied by any one and what is better, is
infallble it is simply to smoke such wound
or bruise that is infamed, with burning wool
orwoolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke OF
wool will take the pain out of the worst wound,
and repeated once or twice will allay the worst
case of Inflammation arising from wound we
ever saw People may sneer at this olo wo. V.
mans remedy as much as they please. Dnt
when they are afflicted just let them try It,. 1t
has saved many lives and much pain, and is $
worthy m TO be printed in letters of gold and
put in every home.

The "No Fence, Law in North Carolina.

The Charlotte IN. c. Democrat gives the
following account of the operation of the no
fence law in four districts of that (A1ecklen-
burg) county:
'The law went into effect in March, when
! the people were busy preparing to plant the
present crop Nearly all succeeded in getting
sufficient pasture fenced for the stock kept on
! the premises.
The law works admirably. The thoughts of
! never again having to scratch our hand with
briars and thorns, and tangle our feet with
grape-vines while mending our old dilapidated
fences, is too good to entertain one moment
without almost shouting for joy. While those
who work on the old plan of fencing up their
fields will be busy in winter making rails, haul
ing and building them on their crazy fences, we
will be cleaning up. our rich fence rows tor
luxuriant crop another year. And while they
are paying out their money for these repairs,
we are spending the same In compost heaps,
clover lots, rye lots, and fall and winter plow
ing. ,
Instead of being disadvantage to the crop.
pers it has proven the very reverse. The land
owner sees that it is to his advantage to provide
his troopers with sufficient amount of pasture
for all their stock. If however, any one should
fail to do this his more just and wise neighbor
will have the refusal of his hands.
When this law first went into effect many OF
the freedmen threatened to leave the township;
but they are here yet, and until 1t can be clear
w. shown that the negro has an unconqerablc
desire to maui, haul and build rails, we think
he will very likely remain where heis. Nearly
all the trouble we had was Oh the line. some
said the fence would be burned down; others
that it would be thrown down and not allowed
to stand, but as far as we know, not single
trespass on it has been made Outsiders kept
I'D the fence to save their stock from the penal
ties of the law. Insiders kept it up to save
their crops from the deprcdations of outside
stock.
Many persons feared that in fencing up pas
lures. county roads would be obstructed by
gates but on the contrary, it almost totally
annihilatcd the gate system. N wise man will
make his pasture on both sides of the road,
knowing that the first careless traveller may
cause bis stock to run at large on his own
farm.
County roads can be so arranged by the gen
erosity of land owners, as to shorten the former
routes of travel at least one-third. When far
mer wishes to drive his wagon over his own
premises he is not troubled with the old system
of laying down and putting up fences. BY cut
ting few bushes along some of those places we
cali glades (which before were not worth fen
cling up he can now NOW loads OF hay; Hun
dreds of acres can now be cultivated, which be-
fore could not be proftably fenced: A poor
man can now buy piece of land and live COM
fortably on it, although there may not be a rail
tree upon it.

TO CALL OUT THE MILITIA,

as has been done in Edgefeld, is an act OF wal
upon society, and the officer and every man 80
assembled is liable to indictment under our
laws. There are also several white rifle CLUBS
in Edgefeld County which have been armed
and equipped by their individual members as
couuter-organizations to the militia. there.
fore recommend that your Excellency will as.
| sume the attitude to require then also 70 Gus
band. I further recommend that your Excel
lency will take the requisite course to have two
companies of United States troops stationed IN
IEdgeield County, one Of which shall be posted
in Merriwether and Washington Townships.
This should be done as a measure of repose to
that important and greatly disturbed section OF
the State. The presence Of United States troops
in. Edgefeld County, commanded as they are
by the brave and courteous gentlemen and dis
tinguished soldiers who compose the officers OF
our army, will at once infuse sense OF security
among ali classics Of good citizens in that com
rnunity, who will see, in their
-" UNIFORMS AND FLAG,
the honorable symbols of our great and benef-
cent republic whose military forces move not as
the agent of any one of the contending factions,
+(?) but stand prepared to guard the equal lights
of the American citizens who compose them
both. In conclusion I forward herewith the
afidavits of Charles Whitlow, A. Thomas, Geo.
Ryan, Anderson Busy and Gen. NJ. G. Butler,
marked respectively, B c. D E and F. The
Witness. Anderson Busy, is the, persao.n, on 1
whose statement Gen. Butler made his affidavit
charging Edward Tennent and Others with hav-
ing committed the crime of arson in burning
Gen. Buffers residence. The armed collision
resulted as stated in an attempt to execute the
warrant of arrest based on that affidavit. An
derson Busy now swears that Gen. Butler, and
others, compelled him with pistols leYelled at
his head, and by marking out >-.
,f.f, ,-<7 THE FIGURE OF A GRAVE
at his feet, to make that statement. This Gen.
Butler denies, and informs me that he will
transmit atfidavits. proving that Anderson Bus
sy's statement, eliminating ,Edwrrd Tennant
was made freely and voluntarily, and not un-
der duress or the promise Of reward. will
transmit these additional afidavits as soon as
received.
