there has been a change for tho
better instead Of the worse, anc
he is now in the ring and working
with the party hat saved the
country as he says sin spite Of
himself and General Dibrell."
The general talk about corn
whiskey may be refreshing to the
minds Of a few who may have
disgusting, soul destroying habit
for strong drink, but to the aver
age citizen who has any care foi
the welfare of society and knows
the workings Of intemperance.
his "Bill," as he terms it, means
cheap rum by the flood every
where and consequent crime and
misery. We say tax it out Of the
world if possible. Altogether VIC
think what the General said on
this point was utterly beneath q
Congressional candidate.
If our Government can get sc
much revenue from one of the
worst things in the world and
thereby restrain the making Of
that same thing, as the General
says the tax does, then We are re.
joiced that our Government is &c.
complishing two great and good
objects at once.
The General said that 2S,00C
stand Of arms had been sent to
South Carolina, but he was very
careful o~make no illusions to
the Hamburg affair nor to the
open Boosting of the Democracy
of that State that they are going to
carry the coming election in, spite
of a clear Republican majority OF
at 25, 900. He tells half the
truth and by the Indignation he
puts on, and by his words, he says
to his heavens that all is peace
and quiet down there and all
through the South. Men and wo:
men who read and know are well
aware that in Mississippi, Louisi-
ana, Texas and Alabama intimida
ton, murder and fraud have been
practiced on Republicans, white
and black, for the Democratic
press Of parts Of those States have
openly boosted Of their victory
and the way they obtained it.
General Dibrell denounced the
order of Secretary Taft sending
soldiers into those States to Sc
cure the right to vote to all, but
Colonel Drake sounded the hearts
of the audience on the Justice Of
the order and was answered with
ringing cheers. Democracy does
not want fair elestions in those
States where there are Republi-
can majorities for they are de-
pending on a Solid South" to
elect that chief of all the Gre
formers" Samuel j. Tilden. The
Taft order means simply that all
lawful voters in those States shall
have the right to vote, without re-
spcct to politics or color, and yet
hear the howl of Democracy all
over the land about being tram
pied on and having their rights
taken from them.
vi lne Hnance General DIbrell
appears to have no settled idea.
Colonel Drake stands on the Re.
publican platform Of honest mon.
ey for the people. Republicans
may well be satisfied with the
way their candidate handles his
opponent, and we all should do
active work for Colonel Drake till
the last minute. This subject
shall have further consideration
from us from time to time, in the
meantime let US all be doing.
Through the north all is enthusi-
asm in its highest degree and we
should catch some of the spirit.

We find the following special in
the Cincinnati Gazette, of January
18th. We trust that there is truth
in what it contains:
"Thc dry docks at this place. it is
rumored, have been sold to a Gallipo-
lis company, and will be hoated down
to that city this week Whether
Point Pleasant is the loser by the
sale is question eafily answered.
While these docks were here there
was no disposition to put in opposi-
ton docks. The Ohio Barrel Compa-
ny, located here, of which Hon. II.
j. Jewett is President, and d. H. Viii
lard, Esq, is Treasurer and Manager,
IRE now contemplating the erection
Of extensive marine ways and dry
docks of capacity to dock any boat
on the Western rivers. In connec-
ton with this they will have extern
sivc machine shops and foundries,
and will do 4 general ship-yard bust
mes in all its branches. The compa-
ny are all citizens of Ohio, enterpri-
sing and energetic, with abundant
capital to make it success. Our
people rather congratulate themselves
that Gallipolis has done them the
Kindness to remove these docks that
others more extensive might take
their place. The Ohio Barrel Com
pany have assurances that they will
get all the work of the coal and iron
companies now operating on the Ka-
nawha, and this, Of itself, will give
work to large number Of hands,
New coal companies are forming on
the Big Kanawha and its tributaries
every day, and the shipments Of coal
iron, timber, and lumber will, in a
few years, be very great, and from
which Cincinnati must eventually
draw a large revenue, This State,
and particularly this valley, is one of
the richest mineral regions in the
United States, and, if the general
government will prosecute its I'm
proyomcnts, is they have Begun, un-
til it is fully completed, this great
valley will be the busiest portion OF
the Union, and, of course, Cincinna-
ii will reap rich harvest in proper
ton to its development.

Your correspondents "Nuti' of the

that the license party in tie late cor

sincere in desiring the law enforced
against the whiskey seller. The law

violating the above law? The license

that they are sincere? Or will they

of liquor, either direct or indirect
