A CORRESPONDENT OF the Bulletin,
attacks the Republican candidate for
Sheriff in this wise:
"a good name on the Republican
ticket might beat Frank Mcdaniel,
but that name isn't G.. Stuart.
Cause why? That suit of rebel gray
that he proposed to adopt during the
late unpleasantness sticks to him
like tag lock to an old wether."
None but an anonymous scribbler
would make this attack Mr.. STUART
was true to the nation in its hour of
peril, even going forth to battle for its
preservation. This is well known to
all. But how was it with his opponent?
Mr.. Mcdaniel had very decided
opinions upon the questions connect
ed with that conflict, and we never
heard that he attempted to conceal
them. This is also well known to
the people of the county, and
we are perfectly willing TO test
the strength and popularity Of
these two men upon their po-
sition during the war. We know in
advance what the verdict of the
Union men of Gallia county will be.
They have not forgotten the clrcum
stances or the incidents of that
democratic rebellion, and if they are
to be made the test of success in this
campaign, so be it. They will teach
all copperheads and disloyallsts that
the sentiment of nationality and
liberty is as strong and as oyerwhelm-
ing in its Indignation now as during
the hours of the conflict. Go in, the
batteries are ready and charged.

The calamity caused by the recent
food surpasses in extent and de-
struction any that has happened in
the section visited for thirty or forty
years past, and may probably be set
down as the most disastrous that has
occurred since the settlement of the
Western States. The rain belt seems
to have been confine ed to the lower
Ohio and Central Missouri valleys,
covering Central Missouri, the south
ern and central parts of Illinois, In
diana and Ohio, with small portion
of Kentucky. 1t is impossible to
arrive even at an approximate estl-
mate of the losses, but it is safe to
say that they will run somewhere
into the millions. These losses
will fall heavily on particular indi-
viduals and localities, and will have
perceptible effect ON local business.
But we must not despair. Another
year, if met with economy and indus
try, may make all things equal.

For the Gallipolis Journal

Mr.. EDITOR time last fall
/ read a short article in the JOURNAL
calling the attention of Trustees OF
townships to the requirements of the
law for the erection and main
tainance of suitable places for pro-
curing water for man and beast, on
any of the public highways in their
township. 1t was then late in the
season and nothing was done in pro
viding such places.
The matter of providing such
places as the law contemplates, is of
vast Importance to the travelling pub
lie, and as this is the proper season
for such work, would it not be well
to call the attention Of the proper
officers to the subject, that immedi-
ate action may be taken.
1 wish, also through the medium
of your valuable paper, to call the at
tention of persons owning dams across
any of the streams of this State, to
the duty as required by law,
of erecting chutes for the pas
sage Of fish oyer such dam or
dams. The importanea Of obeying
such law as this is obvious, apd it
is to be hoped that every person own
Ing dam across any of the water
courses within this State, will take
measures to immediately efect such
a chute as is contemplated by said
law.
The laws above referred to may be

and prosperity of the whole people
and the rights of all men2 Nay. On
the contrary, from Governor down,
judging by the past, our Republican
candidates in all these qualifications
are far superior, and have shown by
their deeds, many of them, that they
are willing to sacrifice their lives, If
necessary, to preserve inviolate the
rights and liberties of the people.
Let us give them our cordial support.
With good men for standard bearers,
let us show the democrats that we
can stick and cling to party as close
as they can.
