rhe senatorial oaestlon .

aThe Democrats of Monroe County on
Monday of last week endorsed DR.. j. B
Williams, of that county, for Senator
from this District. We are not informed
as to the basis upon which this action of
Monroe County is founded nor in what
manner the Democracy Of that county
regard the Senatorial situation. Nor
in fact does it make any difference for
the present, for some common under
standing must be reached by all coun-
ties interested before any unity of action
can be had. The matter will be referred
to the Democratic Convention of this
county. There should be some adjust.
ment of it. DR.. Williams is an excellent
man and would make good member Of
the Legislature, and We would be glad to
see him elected if it is decided that his
nomination has been proper, and no in
fringement of the courtesies due others"
: Guernsey Jefersonian.
We will, perhaps, be pardoned for in
dulging mild degree of surprise that
the Jefersoaian should affect not to
know the ..basis on which this action OF
Monroe County is founded when the
next paragraph to that which informs it
that such action was had, sets out dis
distinctly and fully the grounds upon
which it was founded. Why the Jefer-
sonian should say that il is "not inform.
ed" on the subject, with the following
statement before it, we are 'not inform
ed" &
| Sat the last Convention held in the
district, Guernsey County failed to send
delegates but Hon VIM Lawrence was
present on behalf of that county and its
candidate, and pledged Mr. Laughlin to
one term on condition that Monroe and
Noble would forego what they deemed
their just rights AS U S. Senator was
to be elected, and harmony was matter
of unusual importance, Monroe and No
BILE yielded to the earnest urging of Mr.
Lawrence, and the candidate was giver
to Guernsey. 89A

GE 1t is the fashion just now for the
Republican papers to say, that the action
Of the elast Legislature was such that the
entire Democratic press Of the State de
uounced it.
That is one way of stating the case
there is another. The Democratic paper
have the fairness and candor to speak out
their disapproval of public officials, when
such officials act unwisely. They don't
whitewash. The people need not fear
Chat Dem 'cratic misl ,ings will be con
cealed by the Democratic press.
There is implied in this argument of
the Republicans significant compliment
to the Democratic party.
And, now, let us enquire, what did the
Republican papers do dulirg the gigantic
plunderings by a Congress of their par
typ Almost without exception they pro.
vled themselves with bucket and brush,
and engaged in whitewashins.

@Wc learn from the McCopnelsville
Herald, that Mr.. F. NJ. ATKINSON has
made proposition to the people of
Morgan and part Of Guernsey and Mus
kingum" counties, thatif they will raise
S175 900, he will complete road from
Cumberland to McConnelsville.
A meeting was held at Malta, and a
committee appointed to prepare circu-
lar informing the people Of Morgan
County of the above proposition. and ask
ing their cooperation. This meeting was
held on the Sth inst, since which tune we
have received no further advces.
Its to be inferred that MIR, ATKINSON
has an arrangement with some railroad
company to make good this proposition
Weare not informed of any further
movements east Of the Summit. We
presume that part of the line is to be 9th
erwise provided for. as it appears not to
be included in the proposition made to
the west-enders.
AS the distance from Cumberland to
McConnelsville is not far from fifty miles,
the proposition is certainly a liberal one,
whether the subscribers donate the mon
ey or receive stock for it. No money is
to be paid over until the road isin opera.

EyA very scurvy trick was attempt
ed to be played upon Hon. SAMUEL F
CARY, with the purpose of defeating his
nomination by the Democratic State Con
yention.
Two days before the Convention a
suit was brought against CARY, the pc
tition charging him with attempting to
defraud two other parties in mining
speculation. The petition seems to have
been fled in the offices of all the Cincin-
natl newspapers on the same day that it
was filed in the Court. e.sa
This base scheme was promptly ex-
posed, and its object defeared. 1t excl
ted warm feeling OF indignation against
Mr. S. F. Hunt, in whose interest it was
concocted. but fuller information salts
fed nearly every one that Mr.. Hunt him
self was entirely hlameless in the mat

1t now only remains for the Rapubli-
can politicians to take up and continue
the use of this exploded falsehood in
order to secure for Mr. CARY q larger
majority than any other candidate on
the ticket.
There is an instructive love OF justice

The Newspaper.

The newspaper is the chronicle Of civ.
iliZation-the common reservoir into
which every stream pours its living wa
ters, and at which every man may come
to drink. 1t is a newspaper that gives to
liberty its practical life, constant obscrva-
ton its perpetual vigilance, its unrelax-
ing activity. The. newspaper informs
Legislators Of public opinion, and informs
the people of legislation. And this is not
all. The newspaper teens with most
practical morality; in its report of
crimes and pun ishments you find daily
warning against temptation; and not a
case in a police court, not single triad
of a wretched outcast or a trembling fclon
that does not preach to us the awful les
son how imprudence leads to error, con-
ducts to guilt; how guilt reaps its bitter
fruit of anguish and degradation. The
newspaper is the bond that binds togeth-
er man and man-no matter what he the
distance Of the climate or tho difference
of race. The newspaper is . law-book
for the indolent, sermon for the thought
less, library for the poor. 1t may stim-
ulate the most Indifferent, it may instruct
the most profound.

A Senator's High-Toned Wife.

A Washington correspondent tells this:
An amusing incident occurred the 9TH
er day. Mrs. Gen. Gordon, the charming
wife of Senator Gordon, of Georgia, was
sitting in the senate gallery with Mrs.
Eaton, wife of the new senator from Con.
necticut. By birth and education Mrs
Gordon is an aristocrat, brought up with
as strong prejudices against social equal
ity with the blacks as any one could be.
Of Mrs. Eaton's carly years we know
nothing. Turning her head, Mrs. Gordon
saw Fred Douglass in the gallery, quite
near her. Thinking Mrs. Eaton would
like to see so celebrated man, she said
to her:
Erred. Douglass is sitting directly be-
hind you.''
"Good gracious! you can't mean it;
here! in the senator's gallery?" respond
ed the horrifed Connecticut lady.
"Why not!' laughed Mrs. Gordon |.
"He has right here now"
II don't care if he has; won't sit here
with niger, anyway. Let's CO."
But Mrs. Gordon was interested in the
debate; 50 the iratc northern woman
swept her flounces past Fred Douglass
with an angry swish, and the southern
lady sat severely still.

A Romantic Tragedy.

A series of fearful tragedies was enacted
in Moline, ILL.,, Saturday night. 1t was
purely an affair of funrequited love. Miss
Ellen N. Davis, Of Geneseo, has taught
school in Moline three years, and is "a
years old. Mr.. Charles E. Wood, the con-
spicuous actor in the tragedy, is % years
Of age. Nearly year ago he became at
tached to this lady, which was never fully
returned by her. On Thursday Wood
overlook Miss Davis on her way to school
and threatened her. On Friday evening
they met at social party, which Miss Da,
Wis left about O'Clock in company with
another gentleman. Wood followed them
and soon approaching Miss Davis fired u
pistol ball into the back of her head, just
below the brain. The escort, Mr.. Hastie
turned and discharged his revolver at
Wood, whereupon the latter fed. The
police soon found Wood in an alley, and
as they were about to capture him he blew
his own brains out. At last accounts Miss
Davis was very low, but not in critical
condition.. = - ..:5s- - = =.

shepherd Dogs.
Texas Examincr and Patron.

Texas Examincr and Patron.
In Southern California you may see on
the plains and hills thousands of sheep,
but not man to watch them. Around
each flock or band of, say a thousand
sheep, are half-a-dozen dogs whose pro-
genitors were imported from the sheep
pastures of the Old World. These dogs
take the entire care of the sheep, drive
thrm to pasture in the morning, keep
them from straying during the day, and
bring them home at night. These dogs
have Inherited talent for keeping sheep;
but the shepherds do not depend wholly
on that. They cultivate in this way:
"''When lamb is born, it is taken away
from the mother sheep before she has
seen it, and puppy put and learns to
love it. When the puppy grows old
enough to eat meat it is fed in the morn
ing and sent out with the sheep. It stays
with them because it is accustomed to be
with its mother, but it cannot: feed with
them, As they get full the dog gets hun
