what would the Republicans do for

that the masses of the people are

Since my last advise the House,
under the previous question, put
through the negro Clerk over a Grip
pied soldier, of the Home at Dayton,
by a strict party vote. 1t was re-
ported that the Pope, with St. Peters
key in his pocket, had left the Vati-
an. 1t was thought he was on his
way to Ohio for the purpose of COB
bling up the school fund of the State.
Members of the lower House become
alarmed, and the repeal of the Gegh-
an act was Immediately passed. 1t
is reported that the Pope was at
once t~elegraphed that the act was re-
pealed, upon the advice of which in
oimation the Holy Father turned
his course toward Mexico, where he
will remain until the Centennial ex-
hibition opens at Philadelphia. On
his way north east he may pass thro'
Prel,le county, and of course will
enter Israel township somewhere
near College Corner. Therefore i,
might be well for the Protestant ele'
ment of Prchle county to be on the
out look for the advent of the Pope
early in the spring, for it seems he
still has his eye upon the school fund
of the State. Ispeak Of the advent
of the Pope thus carly, il order thai
the good people of Preble county
may keep a sharp look out for his
coming from the south west early il

Editor of Eaton Democrat:
The Senate is o in full opera
ton and is working admirably. Blu
siness is accommodating rapidly; the
committees meet both during recess
of the Senate and in the evening, and
are busily engaged in the considera-
ton of bills and in making reports.
On Wednesday last the election
took place for Engrossing Clerk, and
the negro nominated by the Repub-
lican caucus beat Palmer, the Grip
pied Repablic IN soldier, put in nom
i%nation by the Democrats, by three
votes, the exact Republican MAORI
ty in the Senate. Pending the con-
test, the bloody Shirt was spas
medically shaken from the Republi-
can side of the Senate chamber,
which demonstration was well ans
wered by democratic soldiers, but
they stood by their nominee and de-
feated the crippled soldier, who re-
tired and the negro now, for the first
time in the history o: the State, gra-
ces the Senate chamber.
On yesterday and to day, the par
tial appropriation bill was under con
sideration, containing among other
things, the Centennial appropriation
of $4,000, which in addition to the
amount heretof re appropriated by

HOW THEY LOVE THE SOLDIER.

Ever 81. &c the organization of tie
present House of Representatives at
Washington, and the appointment of
Democrats to fill the various posi-
tions in the gift of the party, Grants
tools and collar-men have kept up q
continual howl about crippled Union
soldiers being crowded out and dis
placed to give room for rebels, ex-
Confederates and civilians. Their
lamentations were, apparently, dis
t, essing, b. t the sympathy protested
was simply cant-hypocr sy-and
put on for the lowest of demagogue
purroses-to deceive these poor fel-
lows into the support of a false, cor
rupt and hollow-hearted party. The
past record of this kIavish organiza-
ton on the soldier question, long
ago proved this fact to all familiar
with its conduct--its present acts
ought 10 convince every man not On
idiot, that its professions are dis
honest and that all it cares for the
poor soldier is his vote, and when
that cannot be obtained he a go to
the devil or to the poor house. We
have a specimen of this Republican
love for the poor crippled soldier
now to chronicle, in the selection of
an assistant Clerk in the Ohio Sen
| ate last week. The names of tE O
persons we're presented for the posi-
ton. The Democrats put forward
that of a one-legged Republican
Union soldier, from Pickaway coun-
ty, and the Republicans an able-bod-
led colored civilian from Oberlin.
The result of this intense Republi-
can love for the soldier, that
they swallowed the darkey, wool and
all, and elected him Clerk over the
one-legged soldier offered by the
Democrats! The vote stands as
follows:

The partial appropriation bill in
troduced by the Chairman of the FL
nance Committee of the Ohio Legis-
lature, shows an increase of$13S,000
over the last Legislature for the same
period of three months! That is
Republican economy for you, tax
PAYERS Of Ohio! "PIcKAwAY," the
sprightly Columbus correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, gives a
few comparisons that show where
the increase ZONES in and where the
money will go 10. We copy as fol
lows:
"Last year $4,000 were appropri-
ated to meet the expenses ofthe Leg
islature for the quarter. This year
it is proposed to appropriate 500, 500
fer the same purpose, an increase of
$21 800. In addition to this, an APP
preparation of $4,000 is proposed for
stationary for the Legislature and
State officers.
Last year the Southeastern Hos
pital for the Insane got $4,000; this
year it gets $1S,10O.
Last year Sic, 765 was enough to
run the Reform School for three
months. This year that House Of
Refuge for the numerous Howe fam,
lily is to have SIG, 200.
Ten thousand dollars is to be set
apart to pay the salaries OF that in.
stitution! and $4,000 for wages.
Here is an institution receiving an
appropriation of $4,000, to pay Off,
GERS and other hired help for three
months! This is nearly as much as
is required to support four hundred
inmates for that period. In looking
over the other items, l find that ST..
800 is to be appropriated to build a
bake-house. 1t is not many years
since that valuable institution was
provided with 4 bread factory, and
here it ZONES asking for new build
ing as a bakery. There has not been
u year since this institution was
founded that money has not been
asked to enable George Z. Howe to
tear down one building and put up
another in order to give employment
to some of his pet contractors. The
checklist item of all is "For steam
kettles and coffee pots, $780, For

Ye gods! and the %coftee-pots must
have gold spouts and diamond lids.

We notice that our Senator voted
with n other Democrat to repudi-
