A Good Beginning.

The Republicans of Gallia County
are not dead; they have only oeen
mapping as a preparatory rest ior
,noro T,oorous and active work.
Tbis wos made manifest last Satur-
dav on the occasion of the meeting
Of the Central Committee. In an
swer to the invitation of the Com
,nittee. the Republicans came in from
every part of the County-the old
and the young-many of whom were
seldom seen at such assemblages-
and all evincing an interest in the
perils which threaten our common
country which augurs well for a
sharp aud successful campaign. I'm
expectedly to every one the attend
ance was large, more than the equal
of the annual democratic mass
meetings held for the nomination OF
their county tickets. And better
still, out one thought and purpose
animated all, and that was work, or
ganization and victory. Every one
went home feeling that it was pro-
phetic opening of the campaign OF
1875.
The sentiment of the meeting was
in favor of an early County Conven-
tion. and the 26th of June was de-
termined upon as the time for hold
ing it, the primary meetings for the
election of delegates occurring on
the Saturday previous, June 18th.
In accordance with this action the
Central Committee will issue the
official call for the Convention next
week.
The following gentlemen were Sc
lected as Delegates, and Alternates,
to represent the Republicans of the
county in the State Convention, to
be holden at Columbus, June I'd, to-
wit:
Delegatcs-W. G. FULLER, L. NJ.
BEMAS, E. A. STONE, WILLIAM NASH,
and JOSEPH BRADBURY.
Alternates-EDwARD HENDERSON,
WIN. SYMMEs, j. H. EVANS, ID. S.
TRoBRIDGE, and AARON DAVIS.
A resolution was passed inviting
all Republicans, who can make it
convenient to do SO, to attend said
Convention, and recognizing such as
delegates.
Thus is the way prepared for the
campaign of 1876. Now for active,
vigilant work in the way Of organiza-
tion. Ohio is to be made the Presi-
dental battlefield. The interests
involved are large and important,
and il behooves the friends of union,
peace and universal liberty TO awake
from the lethargy of the past, and
prepare themselves to meet the willy
and unscrupulous foe wherever the
blows fall the thickest and the heavi-
est.

Watch the Lips.

WORDS of detraction and SANDER require
the watch. 1t is not all mention of a
neighbor's faults and evil deeds that is
wrong, for we cannot but notice gross
faults, and to speak of them in right
spirit may be perfectly right and needful
for selfdefense and the good of society
The sin and wrong is in being quick to
see and punish faults, magnifying them,
imagining them, meddling with them
when it is none of our business to do so,
and speaking of them from promptings Of
envy, resentment and rivalry. A SANDER.
Gus tongue moves as naturally in the ele,
ment of hatred as a fish in the water. One
who loves his neighbor as himself and
seeks to do unto others as he would they
should do unto him can hardly be SIAN
derer. The mischief of detraction springs
from mean, unloving spirit, soured by
disappointment, fretted by envy. urged on
by meddlesomeness and miserable curlosl-
ty. When one with such frame goes
from house to house with the preface
They say, or they do say, but | don't know
how true it is, that this man drinks; or,
That man and his wife don't live very
pleasantly together; or, That man did not
come by his money very honestly; or, This
woman is no better than she should bet
is very probable that then busybody and
slanderer is at work who greatly needs the
prayer: :" Set watch, 0 Lord, before my
mouth; keep the door of my lips ~

CAPTURING THE CUTTER.

AT the time of which we write there
was an inlet On fuckers Beach called
Brigantine Inlet. In 1909 this was closed
up, and the sea formed another inlet,
which exists to this day. There was no
Tuckerton then. 1t was the Gaunt Farm
at that.time. The only settlement then
was what was known as the "Middle-of-
the-Shore," extending on each side of
what was called Andrews Mill Creek, the
property originally belonging to Jacob
Andrews, who settled there in the last
year of the sixteenth century, and who
had mill. There were not great many
people; but they did good business in
lumber and cypress shingles, which they
sent principally. to New York and the
West India Islands. During the Revolu-
ton the place was rendezvous for Amer
lean privateers, and these little sea-hornets
annoyed the British shipping so much
that an expedition was organized, with the
zebra" and other hips-of-war, to break
up the den" There were several pri-
vateers lying there at the time; but they
were warned by an express from Gen.
Washington, and escaped before the Brit
ish came. Washington sent force under
Pulaski to meet the invaders; but they
did not arrive until the enemy had done
all the mischief. Part of Pulaski's men
reached Osborn's Island, and there their
picketguard was surprised and massacred
by the enemy. The invader did not es-
cape without loss. In getting out the
Zebra" grounded, ind her own people
burned her to prevent her capture by the
Americans.
There was one privateer that the enemy
managed to take as she was coming in
the "Saucy Jack" She was Baltimore
built, very fast and armed with long
eighteen-pounder. The Admiral made
her tender to the flagship, added {
| couple of ten-pound carronades toher arm
| ament, and put a crew of eighteen meI
and a midshipman aboard, commanded by
amaster's mate. She became a regular
nuisance to the place, sailing in every nov
and then, exploring the harbor, levyins
contributions of soft tack, vegetables ant
chickens, and then sailing out. The pee
pie would have liked to take her; bu
while the squadron was so near the plac,
! the heavy private armed vessels avoided it
There was Quaker who lived not ia
from the beach by the name of Ephraln
Lippincott. He had the reputation OF be
ing Tory in sympathy, principally be
cause his son Obed, having engaged il
one or two skirmishes with British forae
| ing parties, had been disowned and repri
manded for violating the peace principle
of Friends. When the British parties Wis
tied there they were always met with
warm welcome. But Ephraim was n
Tory, after all-merely a prudent man
who tried to sail as close to the wind a
possible. Obed, though he had been dis
owned, was always sure of quarters q
home when he chose to go; and he wen
there just after the last visit of the con
mander of the g Sea Wasp as the Sauc
jack had been rechristened by he
captors.
i The father met him indifferently, bu
after dinner called him out to the barn.

beaten by a police inspector and two con-
stables, and an attempt was made to make
him swallow newspaper which con-
tanned articles obnoxious to the police.
The inspector afterward shot the editor in
the stomach BY the last accounts he was
not expected to live, and the inspector was
in custody.
By a recent decision of the Court of
Equity in London the fund of $4,000
raised in 1S57-by Dickens, Mark Lemon,
John Forster, Maclise and others--for the
family of Douglass Jerrold, just then de-
ceased, in poverty, goes now to Jerrold's
only unmarried daughter, Mary Jane Jer-
rold. The sum was originally invested in
Government securities for the benefit Of
Mrs. Jerrold and her daughter, with re-
mainder to the survivor The widow is
dead The claim of Miss Jerrolds brother
was denied.
M. JAcQufN's system of recording the
vote of the French Assembly by means of
electricity is very ingenious. Before ev-
cry Deputy two ivory buttons are placed,
like the buttons of electric bells. If the
Deputy wishes to vote eyes, y he presses
the button on his right; if he wishes to
vote "no," he presses the button on his
left. The voter establishes by this means
an electric communication, which is trans
mitted to an apparatus close to the Presi-
dent and his Secretaries. Every time the
electric current acts thus, itopens the door
to a ball, and the ball falls through tube
into the ballot-box. The balls are made
of glass or ivory, and are strictly identical
in weight. The two ballot-boxes are then
weighed, and the number of balls indi-
Gated by the weight. Finally, by turning
handle, all the balls which have not
been used are let out and they give the
exact number of members who abstained
from voting, or who were absent when
the vote was taken. The device appears
to be very simple, convenient and re-
1iabla

The Impressive Hotel Clerk.

THE hotel clerk / venerate in the alb
stract, but I am rather afraid to approach
him in the concrete. My experience is
that when he does not snub you he patron
ICES you, and I'd about as leave be killed
one way as another. Where moral char
acter and that sort of thing tells, feel par
ticularly at home, but where man is
Judged only by his clothes, confidence
fails me, and am backward about coming
forward.
"Can have room?" / modestly ask
after registering my name.
Clerk looks at me moment, takes in
the general unostentatiousness of my APP
parel at glance, turns away and attends
to the swells who get credit of Bell instead
of buying for cash of Porter, chats with
the young men whom he knows for few
minutes, parses to tell some old gentle
man with bald head the last brilliant
bon mot apropos of the Beecher trial, and
when everybody else is roomed and he
has settled the pen right behind his ear,
then he calls the smallest bell-boy in the
office and turns to me with, "Show this
gentleman up to 993p' And by this time
| / feel so humble about it that bow to the
| bell-boy and look around for his bag and
wonder how I'm to find No. 993 to show
him to.--Jo7ha Paul at Long Branch.
