zette

Zette.
MARIETTA, Quo, Aug. IL, 1875.
A most fiendish act has recently
been perpetrated by some one. The
Register of to day has the following:
"On Monday last some parties who
were getting driltwood out of a pile
on the Ohio River bank, near Nc
Clnre's Station, eight miles below
Marietta, discovered the body of a
woman lodged in the drift, and at
once proceeded to take it out and
place it under ground until the Coro-
ner could be notified. The body was
minus head, arms and legs. Tues
day G8pGper Kiger went down
and proceeded to hold on inquest.
An examination developed the fol-
lowing facts: The body was that of
a woman perhaps twenty to twenty
five years of age; had been in the
water about ten days; was found on
leyel with the highest water reach
ed by the recent food. Her head
was cut off close to her body; her
arms had been unjointed at the shoul-
ders, sne log had been ilnjointed at
the body, the other leg had been cut
off with an ak or cleayer, as a mark
of some heavy instrument was plain
ly visible on the bone, which protru-
ded. There were no other. marks.
The jury gave a verdict that the
body was unknown, and that she
came to her death by violence at the
hands of parties uaknown to the jury.
The body of the woman was entirely
nude. None Of the limbs or head of
the woman we're found. .

Henry Swindler,

An old resident of Guyan township,
Gallia county, Ohio, departed this life
on the ninth day Of August, A. d. 1875
aged "a years, 3 months and days. H.e
was born in Culpepper county, Va, OF
the 9th day of May, 1901. In 1915 he
came to Ohio township, Gallia county,
Ohio, where he resided six years. The
next two years of his life were spent in
Cabell county, Virginia, (now West
Virginia;) after which time he took up
his permanent residence in G,lyan town
ship, Gallia county, Ohio, where he end
ed his days. The last twenty-five years
of his life, he lived with his brother,
John C. Swindler.
Mr.. HENRY SWINDLER was one of ma
ture's noblemen, His heart was always
in. the right place. He espoused the
right, as he understood it, eagerly, and
maintained II with enthusiasm.
In early life he was Whig. He joined
the Republican party at its inception,
and clung to its principles to tho last
hour of his life. During the darkest
days of the great war of the rebellion,
his heart beat as true to the flag and the
Union, is tho needle points to the pole,
and though surrounded by the most fac
tious elements, his faith never wavered,
his courage never faltored.
In 1873 he became Granger. With
his accustomed enthusiasm and liberali-
ty, he built fine hall for the use of the
Union on his own farm; and was at the
time of his death presiding officer of the
Lodge.
Mr.. SwINDLER never married. He
was sllrewd .bisihess man, AMI leaves
quite a large estate, in lands, govern
ment securities, 80. =.
He was emine4tly 2 friend to the paep,
and will be greatly missed by the la
borers and small farmers of tile neigh
bOrhood.
A large concourse of relatives, friends
and neighbers followed him to his
grave with hearts full of SORROW.
May his ashes rest in peace; while his
soul, clad in the robes of Immortality,
dwells forever in the place which the
Coed Master went to prepare for all the
worthy. =

If ignorance on financial matters
was not so liable to lead men into
disastrous voting when such ques-
tions are at issue as at the present
time, it would be occasion for down.
right fun.
When you hear disciple of the
horny-handed Cary talking about
finance he does it with as much sense
and coherency as pail parrot. 1t IS
diverting-only it is serious matter
that he votes. If he talks about bonds
he don't know whether 10-40 means
bonds running 10 years at 40 per
cent. or 40 years at 10 per cent,
or something else, as it really
does. He may tell you that he is op-
posed to imitation of the currency but
strongly favors a large issue of green
backs, according to the wants of the
nation" He is not in favor of dis
tressing National Banks and theil
customers, but is in favor of winding
them up. He is not in favor of re
pudiating payment of the NationaI
Bonds but he hates bloated bond
holders so that he would be glad il
they never got their money.
All the democrats are becoming
financiers from the dirty face boy
who wants more money to buy
to5aker with, to the "Young Eagle o
the West" who Matched the theory
some time ago.
We have supporter of Rise III
"blallen, in this county who can bea
even Cary or Pendleton on finance
and yet he is modest man and il
not stumping for his chief. He is
square man and don't believe in tax
ing such roundabout way of break
ing up the country. He comes t.
the point quickly and goes for !
general divide" as he calls it, a
once. Now, there is more sense ant
as much honesty in his plan as in tn
sugar-coated communism advocated
by some of the democratic stuml
speakers.
When it was suggested to the finan
cier we refer to, that the propert,
of the country would soon get bacl
into the hands who now own il
he promptly replied, "then divid
again." There is no foolishness wit
that democrat. He ought to b

ONE of the democratic lies of the
campaign is this, that National banks
are not taxed. Tits shameful false
hood The Comptroller of the Trea-
sury, in his last annual report, shows
that the taxes upon the national
banks throughout the country
amounts to $3l, ,0oo, eco. or about A
per cent, which is greater than is
paid by any other class of property.
Expose the democratic lies, and there
is nothing left of the party.

DEMOCRATIC candidates are going
to and fro asking the people to vote
for them because the times are hard.
God bless their miserable souls, do
they expect to make the tunes better

bug of modern times. Why, the de-
mocracy have had power in Ohio for
near unto two years, and still the
times. have been growing harder.
They are arrant deceivers. They

rule in Judgment they will bury these
demagogues so deep that the power
of resurrection can never reach them.

THAT political party whose cause is
weakest and less cons0nant with rea-
son and common sense, is always
loudest in its professions of anxiety
for the welfare of the people, especial
ly the poorer classes. When its
cause is one which can not secure
the support OF the educated and
thinking classes, such party resorts
to violent and infammatory har-
argues, designed to excite the preju-
dices of the poorer classes, No Ian
guage is too exaggerated, no trick is
too dishonest, no lie is too base for
them, provided they can impose on
those people who, because of power
ty, have not had the time and money
to become sufficiently educated to de-
tect the falsity of the doctrines
preached to them. Such course is
infamy, and such is the course of the
Democracy of Ohio to to-day.--Cjn.

yourselves with such q party? Now

Democratic Relief for Hard
Times.

The democrats propose three modes
of frelieffor the hard times. First,mo
ereenbacks; second, a tariff for the
sole purpose of revenue; third, the
extinction of the present National
Banks. The first, more greenbacks,
might possibly afford temporary re-
lief, but taking the three propositions
together, the plan would work disas-
ter and ruin instead of relief. A tar
iff for the sole purpose of revenue
would extinguish the fires of thou
sands of manufacturing establish
ments in the country, and turn out
the operatives to starye and perhaps
die. Millions more of greenbacks
could not save them. Then the eX-
tinction of the National Banks
would require these institutions to
call in their loans. These amount
to $50 millions of dollars, and think
you this vast sum could be collected
without working disaster and ruin to
the creditor class? And this is the
democratic plan of Relief for the
hard times! Let it be made posi-
BILE by giving power to the democrats,
and you will see such tight times in
this country as it has never expert
enced but once perhaps, in the one
hundred years of its existence. The
property of every man in debt would
be brought under the Sheriff IS ham
mer, and would be sacrificed to pay
costs and interest, leaving the prin-
cipal unsatisfied. In our experience
we have seen precisely such scenes in
Gallia county, the result of the de
struction of the old United States
bank, and the establishment in its
stead of wildcat State institutions
By referring to the columns of the
JOURNAL of that period, from 1888 to
1914, you will find therein from six
to eight columns of Sheriff's adyer-
tisements preceding each term of the
Court. There were no bidders; the
property was advertised and read
vertised, until it failed to bring
enough in some cases, to even pay the
printers fees. This result was pro
duced by the democrats tinkering
with the currency. And now they
ask us to another feast of the same
character. They cannot let vel
enough alone. Demagogues want the
Offices, and they are willing to sacfi
fee the entire industrial interests o
the country, subject the lab0rer and
the artisan to starvation, and theil
families to pauperism, to secure
them. God put it into the hearts Of
the people to stay the evil IN its in
cipient stages, before it comes upon
US in its alarming consequences
otherwise devastation and ruin, tears
and agony, will oyerwhelm US as
never before.
