A CoEsETIoS.-In our last week :
issue. we published rumor of a
tragedy in Jessamine county, which
we have since learned is false. in, that
it never occurred in Jessamine coun-
ty, but in Pendleton county; and
from the Bracken county Chronicle, of
last week, We learn that the whole
thing is cauard. We do not know
the Sheriff of Jessamine, but should
this meet his eye, we hope he will ex-
oIcrate US of any intention OF ipjur-
ing him in publishing the article.

THE New York Sun thus boldly
speaks of the Cabinet changes:
"No patching up of the Cabinet at
Washington by the enforced retire
ment of members who fear investiga-
tion and impeachment by the new
House Of Representatives, will satisfy
the country in its present temper.
Even complete reconstruction would
attract no confidence to the Admins
tration, because the President and his
surroundings are known to be compli-
Gated with corruption which has made
its name a stencil in the nostrils of the
people.
If Williams and Delano 90 out, it
is simply because they are afraid to
stay in and confront the ordeal of
searching scrutiny next winter. II
any concession to public opinion was
intended, Robson and Belknap would
be sent back to the obscurity from
which they emerged, and with the
stain of disgrace upon their Names
But they are near to the favor of the
President, and will be spared. The
proposed changes, therefore, have no
other significance but an admission of
guilt on the part of members who may
take a short cut to escape the penalties
of offended justice" "

"The Republicans of Ohio, in Con-

cardinal principles of their organiza-
ton, which have become maxims of
policy, State and National, declare on
| specific points the series of sentiments
following:
81. The States are one as a nation,

nection, direct or indirect, between
Church and State and we oppose all
legislation in the interest OF any par
ticular sect. Upon this subject we
should not fail to profit by the expert
ence of foreign Governments, where
the efforts of the Church to control the

The Republicans in their platform
have a buncome resolution against the
division Of the school fund. They man.
ifest great alarm upon this subject
and will endeayer by their howlings to
to frighten the people out of their
senses upon the subject. They seem
TO forget that the present schoel law
is the work of a Democrat and that
the present Democratic Constitution
positively forbids the division of the
school fnnd, and that no body of
Democrats ever has asked or ever
will ask for division of the fund.
No, they have not forgotten that fact,
but knowing that the thievery,
tyranny and corruptions Of their ad-
ministration have brought them inte
bad odor with the people, they are at
tempting to revive the old prescrIp-
tive Know Nothing crusade in order
to divert the attention OF the people
from their enormuties, and enable
them to retain the power which they
have so shamefully abused.

If the Republicans of Ohio are so
terribly alarmed about the Catholics,
what were they thinking about when
they invited General Sherman a Cath
olic by baptism, and a recognized
member of the church, to a seat in
their State Convention and to address
that body? And why don't they take
measures to. ''root him out" of his po-
sition of General of our Armies Can
it be that they think that the liberties
of the country are safe with the armies
of the nation in the hands Of Catholic
Sherman and Sheridan? 3.

On Thursday evening last General
P. II. Sheridan was united in marriage
with Miss Irene Rucksr, daughter of
brevet-Major d. II. Rucker, Assistant
Quarter Master General, at the resi-
dence of the brides father in Chicago.
The bride is Catholic, and the cere-
Mony was performed by Catholic
Bishop, still the Republican admirers
of Gen. Sheridan will go around the
country bowling about the awful con-
spiracy among the Catholics to over
throw the liberties of the country.
Oh, bosh!

The warm, dry weather for the last
few days has been imprsYed by the
farmers, by getting in their spring
crops. This week, if the weather con-
ftinues favorable, they will finish. But
a very favorable season will be neces-
sary to mature the crops, or a warm
autumn may, to a great extent, prevent
a failure. Potatoes have been planted
to a greater extent than heretofore.
The bugs are plenty and lively, and
promise an active campaign. ....;
The trustees of our township nave
nearly completed the inside fixtures
for the Town Hall. Two large cham
daliers Of six burners each, manuiac-
tured to order by VIM. Wiltshire, Of
Cleveland, have been hung in the
places designed for them, and furnish
brilliant light in abundance. The
chairs were furnished by Seymour &
Fairchild, of Ravenha, at rates very
much cheaper than could be obtained
in Cleveland, or at any house outside
/ of Rayenna. Those who have exam
ined the goods are Satisfied that Ra:

The Olive Branch Society gave a
public entertainment a. the Town
Hall last Friday evening. The pro-
gramme was excellent and the rendf-
ton superb! 1t would be impossible
to justly particalarize, as the young
ladies composing the Society were de-
termined there sheuld be no failure,
aud there. was none. Thoagh the
patronage was liberal, it was not as
much SO as the effort merited.

Last Monday night the Hiram Cor
net Band manifested their rcmem
brance of their departed comrade and
leader, Clarence @. Young, by march
ing with slow and measured tread, to
their own music, by the light Of
flaming Torches to his grave, and
there executed several pieces of choice
music. among which were some he
loved so well. That. piaintive and ex-
quisitely beautiful piece, the "Golden
STAIR" which was played by them Just
year ago, by the new made grave of
their friend, was again on this ami
versary night executed by them. They
then went to the grave of Milton
Young, another of their deceased
members, and played dirge, and
then retired to their homes. This
touching and beautiful tribute of re-
spect to the memory of the dear de-
parted is sincerely appreciated by the
bereayed friends and relatives. and
will ever be cherished with grateful
remembrance. ss- III.

WENDELL PHILLIPS, the great and

the manyyears of earnest labor he had
done in bringing about the late war,
is of the opinion that nothing but the
use of Grants name can prevent the
Democrats from electing the next
ical Convention which met last Sep
tember, thought so too, and that is ev-
identity the opinion of Grant and all
his henchmen, and this will be regard

people by law and make them con,

are striying to convince themselves
and their readers that the letter OF
Grant to General Horace " hire, Pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Republican
Convention, is plain, cutspoken and
unequivocal declination of a renoni-
nation, but we believe a careful read
ing of the letter and weighing It's
phraseolegy viii satisfy any one that
it is nothing more nor less thana no
tice to his friends that he is as ready
now to accept the third term as he was
the first and second.
When in September last the South
Carolina Republican State .Conven-
tion emphatically declared in favor of
Grant for the third term, he was as
dumb as an oyster, and made not a
work of objection to such use of his
name, but when Pennsyivaniasin her
Republican State Convention few
days ago has the audacity TO give ut
terance against the third term project,
he hastens to write a letter to the
Chairman of that body declaring his
dissent from its action and gracefully
Informing them that the subject can
not. be effected by resolution that "the
people can only be restricted in their
choice by an amendment of the con-
stitution.rf .sinrf. .t-t taH a@ LHi
i. He reminds his party friends that
he was enjoying a good fat life office,
just suited to his tastes, and that he
made a great personal sacrifice"
when he gave it up to serve his party
by accepting the Presidency for the
first term that he did nets desire the
second term in the beginning but to
secure his vindication from the sland-
ers of his enemies he finally yielded
to reaemination. And now he de.
clares that he has no more desire for
the third term than he had for tile first
and second, and he would not accept
the third term sunless it should come
under sNch circumstances as to make
ii an imperative Duty" II He regarded
it an imperative duty" to make the
"sacrafice" of'a life Office that he liked
for the first term. In his opinion it
was an imperative duty to accept
the second term, and he noN notifies
his friends that there may be "such
as will make it an
Imperative duty to accept the third.
term, and Of those circumstances he
alone is to be the judge 5aL 9aT
Had Grant had no desire for or de-
sign upon the third-term he would
have taken the earliest opportunity to-
have said to the South Carolina Con-
yention in uneaIiyocal terms that un-
der no circumstances would he allow
the use of his name in such connec.
ton; he would have said plainly to
his partizans in Pennsylvania that ehe
is not and will not be a candidate. In
stead of that he. notifies his. friends
that they are at Liberty to go,to work
to create the circumstances (which
will make it his imperative duty" to
accept, and between now and the time
for making the nominations the coun-
try may expect to hear the howl of the
Office holders and
henchmen of the administration about
Ku Klux outrages, SC, in order to
create ''such circumstances as to rem
der the duty of acceptance imperative.
