Gerrit Smith is dead. He was among
the last of the brave old abolitionists
He was ever true to principle. Chase,
Greeley and Summer wanted office, and
before their death made fools of them

RAILsoAD.-We have received a letter from
the Columbus Board OF Trade inviting us 10 a
meeting in that city, on the lst of January IN
the interest of Il Valley Railroad. Governor
Allen is announced to speak, and the hope IS
expressed that large delegation Will be on
hand from this city and county.
1t is strange that this project should lie asleep
until we are making an effort to get road TO
the mineral region, aud then awake. We can
not think the time opportuue. Its effect IS TO
divide and distract attention which should pc
concentrated. There are interests which would,
perhaps, be better suGSeTTed by the Valley
Road than any other, but so far as Chillicothe Is
concerned her progress and wealth ana the
prosperity Of her business men will be teniofd
more advanced by the construction of a road
from here TO Jackson, than by any other one
thing. If il is so important for Dayton and
Spring gfield, il is equally so TO u.s. and If they
Will benefit by drawing from 50 far the treasure
of the coal fields, how much more viii we, who
can obtain the same advantages with much
less cost? A short line from this city to j JaciI-
son. owned and controlled by the people OF the
two counties, must pay nom the beginning
jackson county wants to help us build Such q
road. We have received word from leading cit
| liens there, urging joiat meeting of the TWO
counties, for that purpose. When tnat Is Dullt,
| the sSeiOtO Valley Road win be more likely TO

| Why should not the city of Chilieothe be en-
riched by RAILROAD to Jackson? When our

ed, and our coal and ore banks generally open

b needed 10 feed the thousands of operatives.
Where can these be procured 50 readily as at

coming to the front. SpiritQalisnl is being ex-

The Columbus Journal says:
This has been a bad year for Spiritualism.
Following sharply upon the heels of the Katie

principal mediums in New York and Boston.

York Spiritualists HartZ was also called upon
and he showed the inquirer how the tricks
were done, and taught him how TO do them for
himself. He is prepared now to go through the
ordinary seance with credit. These pitiful
iuggIerieS do not rise to the dignity of clever
sleight of hand, and yet the gullible fools who
attend the seances, preoccupied with ludlcrous
credulity, are ready in simple Stiffness of faith
to swallow any flapdoodle, provided it is suffi-
GENTLY stupid and improbable. 1t is really not
worth the space to detail the common, low

thy to rank with Peter and Paul, or even Christ
himself. They rank properly with all the
NANCY gang OF fortune tellers and witch doc
tors, who find their victims usually among cred
ulouS servant maids and simple minded clod-
hoppers and moon calves. The exposures in
Boston are more readable, because more skill
was exhibited. We copy in this morning

tations of an amateur rapper, who seems to
have exceeded some of the best efforts of the
ordinary run of mediums.

but little difference under any circumstances,
and the goods could readily stand it. He
though the tax as it was now imposed was
very equitable, and as long as the system was
not changed one dollar per thousand more
or less upon cigars was of very little conse-
quence He thought that under all circum-
stances the increased tax should apply as we'll
to imported cigars, otherwise the foreign
goods would have a slight advantage over the
domestic The increased tax, he said, would
probably give the government 81, 600, 900, and
he thought such an amount could be raised
upon cigars better than upon any other article
of merchandise. The tax would of course be
paid by the consumers, but it would occasion
such slight advance in price that it would
not be felt

Taxing Tea.
A writer in the Boston Journal, who has
been a dealer in teas for fifty years. and
large portion of this time an importer OF teas
from China and Japan, expresses great sur
prise at the remarkable statement of Mr..
Dawes, that Z" the entire tea-trading country
had turned its attention to the importation OF
tea. He says that the only quality Of teas
that can be ordered from China and Japan in
the month Of December would be nothing
but the dregs of last years copyrighted
teas-a quality Of goods in no way adapted
to the wants of the country, and hence would
not pay profit if they reached the country
before the duty could be restored. And
not pound of new tea can reach this
country before July The following
is given as statement Of the stock on
hand: February l, the stock of tea in first
hands was 10000, 600 lbs, one fifth of the
years importation. The importation of this
country is but drop in the bucket compared
with that of England. Yet our importation
Of tea from Japan alone this year will be fully
2O,0OO.O0O pounds. We are the entire i'm
porters OF the Japan crop. If we put duty
of fifteen cents a pound on these teas, will
not the government get it? Will it not be the
same with the importation from China When
the government abolished the duty on tea
Japan teas advanced from S23 per picul to
SAB per picul, and SO remain to this day.
China also took like advantage of the re-
duction. Did the American importer or the
American consumer derive any advantage
from the repeal Of the duty? The import
from China and Japan this year will be forty
five to fifty million pounds.

collected since the late war closed. The

derstand how such things can be, and ''not
