TIE Tuscarawas Valley is in a
state of war. 1t had its beginning in
a strike of the coal miners for
higher wages. The operators refus
ed to pay the wages asked; hired
men who were willing to work for
less wages, when the old miners re-
sorted to mob violence in order to
intimidate and drive away the new
men. Matters assumed such Sc
rious character, that the Governor
was applied to for relief. Upon in
vestigation he found the ordinary
civil power inadequate to protect life
and property, and thereupon he call
ed upon the military for aid. Som
five or six companies were called int,
service. and they are now in the val
ley to see that property and life i
made secure, and that men who ar,
willing to work shall be protected il
their rights to do SO. Some acts O
violence upon persons and property
have been committed, but the swif
arrest of the guilty parties have hat
q modifying effect, and the lates
news from the valley indicates tn,
return Of peace and order.

T.;1l - . bieh old time at

THERE will be high old time al
Cincinnati to-day. The Democratic
State Convention meets there. The
ouarrel between the "hoodlums" and
the aHunkers," as the two factions
representing Allen and Thurman are
called, has assumed bitter charac-
ter. The Cleveland Plaindealer, O
representative of Thurman, gives
this warning notice to the hood
lums:
If the Cincinnati EnQuirer's tactics
are to win in the State of Ohio, if every
Democrat who differs with it and Sam.
Cary, its pet and prOtege, are to be re-
yiled. and declared to be s.cunning con-
triyers in interests hostile to the people g
interests" if Cincinnati roughs AMI
rowdies are to be brought into the Con-
yention to howl through the Enquirer
fayorites, interrupt the deliberations OF
the Convention, and force through q
platform that is not reasonable COM
promise on questions upon which the
Democracy of Ohio honestly and fairly
differ, then such period has arrived in
the history of the Democracy of Ohio
that does not bode well for any successes
in the future.
The hoodlums are represented as
the young politicians; the brassy'
nsisy fellows, of the rule or ruin
stripe, who are expecting to carry the
convention by the free and liberal use
of saloon stimulants.

Co.
GALLIroLIs, May 14th, 1875.
Mr.. EpIToR-SrR:--Iw will feel obliged
if you will give the following public
ity:
Last November visited England. 1t
was understood when left that Mr..
Langley, the President of the X. X. had
resigned, and the Stockholders said that
if any person would build the road that
that person could have for nothing the
road-bed, charter, right of way, and all
other franchises held by the r. r.
When left l did not tell any one
that 1 could or would exert myself
to get persons in England to build the
r. r. because L was not sure that could
succeed in getting parties interested.
But after having had talk with gentle
men with whom had formerly had bu-
siness transactions, became sanguine Of
my ability to succeed in getting parties
to build this road.
Ny object was to get persons with
plenty of means to interest themselves
in the road, and to attain this, 1t was
necessary to have an audience Of suffi-
cient duration. to give me time to ex-
plain the merits of my enterprise (this [
at last got.)
All things ready, told them my plan,
which was not to get up company, Tor
that would be utterly futile in the pres
ent state of the bond and stock markets,
for when | was in London Chesapeake
and Ohio K. r. bonds sold at thirty-two
1927 cents on the dollar, and Erie r. r.
stock at II cents on the dollar. What |
wanted was to get two or three persons
with plenty of means to build and own
the road and having built the road turn
the enterprise into stock company
when the market would be in better
, state financially.
The gentlemen l was introduced to
are iron masters and finanancial brok-
ers, and they have on hand to-day In
stock as much rails as would lay the
track from this city to Macarthur, and
some twenty locomotives for sale, yield
ing them no interest on capital. Those
gentlemen comprehended my scheme,
and are ready to enter into it, provided
get the road-bed, right of way, char
ter, and all franchises at present owned
by the Gallipolis, Macarthur & Column
bus r. r. Co., fl ee of membranes, for
ten dollars.
Imust not take anything to them that
will not stand the most rigorous scru-
tiny, for any .rickery will only delay
matters. must have everything plain
and honest.
The road to be-built and cars run within
two years from the time they would ac-
cept the papers in London. think we
would have the cars running to the coal
region in one year from the time the
papers would be accepted. Sufficient
work would be done to satisfy all con-
cerned that we mean business, in one
year. A construction train would be
put to finish the road and make cOnnec-
tions west as soon as possible.
1 am ready to enter into the above
contract with the stockholders of the K.
r. at once. Time is money! Would
like to be back from London to work
this fall. l will pay all expenses in
curred-want not cent from the stock
holders. Respectfully,

Wheat looks tolerably well. The

THE Bulletin, in speaking of t

The Bulletin, in speaking of the
JOURNAL, says:
"You are the advocate of National
Banks, Railroad monopolists, Bond
holders, Gold brokers, Silver Bonan
lists and Millionaires, against the
people, from whom you receive your
patronage"
Certainly we are in favor of Ma
tional Banks. We support every
good thing, regardless of what the
mobocracy may think, say, or do.
The National Banks are furnishing
the best and safest currency the coun-
try ever had. The bill holder is Sc
cured against the contingency OF loss.
We had long ago a currency of
about equal value to the people-the
notes of the old United States Bank
but because it could not be made a
political machine by corrupt politi-
clans, the Democrats drove it out
Oh 9llssence, promising the people a
better currency in its stead. The
abetter" currency came, and what was
it? A man who went to bed with a
hundred dollars in his pocket was not
sure it would be of sufficient value to
buy his breakfast when he arose in
the morning. And even though the
bank did not break during the night,
yetif he went a hundred miles from
home the next day to buy cattle or
hogs, or any thing else, he had to
stand shave of from five to ten per
cent. before he could make his
money available. Not so with Ma.
tional Bank notes. The holder never
looks to see the location of the Bank
1t may be in California, Texas OF
Maine. So it be a genuine note, it is
good for is face, and he can go to bed
with the assurance that it will be oil
equal value in the morning, under
standing full well that even failure
Of the Bank does not destroy its face
worth. Who wouldn't be in favor oi
Banks of such repute?
The other matters charged to oul
account are lies.

TAX-PAYERS will take notice that
II the Treasurer's Office will be open
rom the
lst day of May until the Goth day
of June, 1876,
FOR the Collection of the June Taxes
without penalty, being the last half of
he Tax of 1873. All property on which
he Taxes have not been paid when the
treasurer makes his semi-annual settle
nent, will be returned DELINQUENT
o the County Auditor, and OH such Tax
he law adds a penalty of twenty per
.ent. Some Tax Payers have the errO-
neOus idea that if their Taxes are not
paid in June no penalty will be added,
1ut the law clearly states that Taxes re-
naming unpaid when the Treasurer
makes his semi-anuual settlement must
nave penalty of twenty per cent. adj
led to the Tax. Taxpayers will find it
70 their advantage to use their utmost
fort to settle their taxes promptly, and

RS bring their December receipts, when

VANCE has concluded his part OF
the investigating business, and sub
mitted report. The correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette has this to
say of the report:
ssThe report against the Government
Printer is not signed by the Republican
member, who is himself a practical
printer, and while it is agreed that there
has been much loose management, it is
by no means certain that there has been
any fraud. Mr.. Clapp was not allowed
to be present to cross-examine wit
nesses.
Trying an officer without giving
him an opportunity to meet his ac-
cusers is the style of the present
Democratic House. If Clapp is
guilty of wrong doing, punish by all
means, but in the name of justice
give him some chance for his life.
This is no country, and this no age,
for Star Chamber proceedings.
