This is from the Cincinnati Gazet

This is from the Cincinnati Gazette:
While performing a friendly office for
young man early yesterday morning,
Anthony Ksmper, police officer of the
Fifth (Oliver street) District, was killed.
1t was about half-past 3 o'clock when he
found John Zilar, young man, son Of
Reuben S. Zilar, of SO Everett street, ere
ating q disturbance in front of the Fort
Sumter Saloon, corner,of Fifteenth street
and the canal, whence he had been eject
ed. Zilar was intoxicated, and the po-
liceman instead of arresting him, attemp-
ted to prevail on him to 20 home. He
was quarrelsome, however, and the off.
Ger had deal of trouble in finally Undue
ing him to consent to be taken to the
home of his brother, half a square dis
tant, fronting the canal between Fif-
teenth and Wade streets Kemper had
succeeded in getting him to the top of
the stairs which ascended on the outside
of the house, and had placed his hand
upon the door-knob when Zilar, taking
him off his guard, struck him a blow in
the face, which sent him toppling over
the banisters to the sidewalk, twenty feet
below. Lieut.. Wersel, who CHANGED to
be near by, heard the noise of the fall,
and hurried to the assistance of Kemper,

blood issuing from his nose, ears, and
mouth. Zilar stood at the head of the
stairs boasting of his deed, and threaten
ing to serve whoever would come up in
the same style. The dapper Lieutenant
went up the stairway, and took his man,
despite his struggles, and locked him up
in Oliver Street Station. Kemper was
removed to his home, corner of Clark
and Linn streets, where he died shortly
before o'clock in the afternoon, his
skull having doubtless been fractured.
Coroner Maley impaneled a jury and
viewed the remains, but postponed the
inquest to await the developments of a
postmortem examination.
He was a brother of Father Kemper,
formerly of Cumminsville, but now Of
the St. Philomena Church, and the SON
in-law of B. Dieckman, grocer at the cor
ner of Clark and Linn streets. He left
a wife and two children.
Zilar was arIaigned in the Police Court
yesterday forenoon on the charge of as
sault with intent to kill, but the case was
continued to await the result of KEN
pers injuries, and he was committed
without bail The charge will now be
changed to murder.

Gen. Comfy, editor of the Columbus
Journal, closes one Of his letters from
Washington City as follows:
The House is proceeding very satisGac-
torily in the work of retrenchment
Every few days they make a saving of
fifty dollars a year on the wages of some
widow woman in one of the Departments.
This enables them to appropriate FIVE
million dollars back pay to rebel pension
ers of 1912, who were stricken of the
rolls for disloyalty, while they were out
with Mr.. Hill, preserving the good old
Co lstitution. If General Banning sue
ceeds in abolishing the use of sleeve but
tons on our army and navy uniforms, we
shall probably be able to pension all the
soldiers of the late rebellion. | really
don't see WY this saving cannot be ef-
fected. The sleeve-buttons are of brass
and are very expensive. There are two
of them on each sleeve, which makes
four to a man for every uniform. As the
population of the country is now about
40 millions, and each colored citizen is
entitled to forty acres and a mule, this
would make the annual consumption of
sleeve-buttons by the arIIy and navy
Bbout 600 million buttons a year. i can
not say to q cent how much they cost,
bat they are of no use under the sun.
appeal to any old soldier to say if he
ever used one of these buttons to button
up anything in his lfe2 Besides, they
are very much in the way when one goes
to call the pile, in a game of draw. They
rattle on the table and alarm the guard.

Had the editor of the Standard exam
ined closely the press dispatches announ-
cling the defalcation of the Wayne coun-
ty Treasurer he would have discovered
that Mr.. Helman is a Republican of the
meanest stripe-one of those chaps who
crawl into office as an independent" J"
1t is limited that most of the stolen
money went into the hands of the Re
publican Central Committee, and was
used to buy up doubtful voters. WHY
the people permitskuch a corrupt party
to remain in power is one of the mystic
ries of the age.
The above is from the Waverly Watch
man. Now if the Watchman will tell US
about how much an average Democrat is
willing to take for his vote, we can have
some idea about how many Democratic
citizens could be bought with the sixty
thousand dollars said to have been sto-
len. Perhaps Bro. Jones can tell, by the
estimate he puts upon himself.

A FLEEING FUGITIvE SHOT.-The Scioto
Inn, near the Scioto and Pike county
lines, is fruitful in its budget Of sensa-
tional news of late. Only a few weeks
since, John Martin and James Hughes
went out from this den, where the law
was daily and nightly violated by selling
liquor to men already crazy with drink
The one in the prime of his manhood
went to his grave leaving fatherless chill
dren and a widowed wife to lament his
untimely end-the other in the vigor Of
youth, with gray haired parents to mourn
his and sorrow over the disgrace, is SEN
fenced to condone his fatal error by
long Imprisonment in the State prison.
Last Saturday, another unfortunate
occurrence revived the excitement which
had well nigh subsidized At the recent
sitting of the grand jury, FIVE indictments
were found against Martin Davis, the
keeper of the Scioto Inn, and he had so
grossly disregarded the law that antici-
pating the action of the grand jury, he
had fled the country. Connecting this
with the sale of liquor on the fatal night
when John Martin received his fatal
wounds, it exasperated the citizens of
that community who clamored loudly
and persistently for his arrest, &c.
Now reader, what fanatical, crusading
paper do you suppose, got off the above
TRADE, aimed at the personal liberty
of the free, sovereign and Independent
citizens Of this confederacy Of sovereign
and independent States Would you
believe it if we were to tell you that we
got the above from the Portsmouth
Times Well, well In what a change
able world we do live, to be sure.
The Times then goes on to tell about
Royse the officer, shooting the man Da.
Wis who sold the liquor which caused the
death of Martin, and it does not pray as
fervently for his recovery and restoration
to. his honorable occupation as does the
little Portsmouth Globe.
Who will now say that the world does
not move2

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.

The next Republican State Convention
will be held in the City of Columbus, on

The Convention will nominate candidates
for
Secretary OF State
Judge of the Supreme Court

And Two Electors of President and
Vice President of the United States.
1t will also designate four Delegates

vention to be held in the City of Cincin-
natl on the 18th of June. The Delega-
tion from each Congressional District
will also come prepared to announce or
select two Delegates and two Alternates
to that Convention.
We recommend that the meetings in
the several counties for the selection of
Delegates to the State Convention be
held on Saturday March 18th, 1876, and
that efforts be made to secure a large at
tendance at these meetings, so that the
people shall be fairly represented in the
State Convention.
The basis of representation in the Con.
yention will be one delegate for every
four hundred votes cast for General r.
B. Hayes for Governor in 1875, and one
additional delegate for any fraction OF
two hundred votes and upwards in each
county.
All voters, without regard to past party
affiliations, who desire the success of the
principles of the Republican organization,
are cordially invited to join in electing
Delegates to this Convention.
(Here follows a list of delegates to
which each county is entitled, Jackson
county being entitled to 6. The entire
convention will consist of $50 delegates. J

Mr.. Samuel Campbell, son of the late
Samuel D. Campbell, Esq, whose de-
cease we noticed some two months ago,
died at the Emmitt House on the morn
ing Of Sunday last, aged twenty eight
years. His funeral took place from the
family residence yesterday (Tuesday)
morning. BY the terms of his fathers
will he fell heir to an estate valued at
near $4,000, and had great opportunities
such indeed as seldom falls to the lot
of young men-for the enjoyment of life
himself and for making happy those
around him. He was generous, warm
hearted, and had fewer enemies than
sympathizers. From habits formed ear
ly in life his career was most inglorious
one, and the thought of his sad death
should be standing warning to others
who are following in his footsteps
Chillicothe Gazette.
Why do you not tell us what were his
footsteps2 Was he a drunkard2 If SO;
why do you not say so? But that would
not do on the Scioto Bottom.

That was a most remarkable incident
in the House of Representatives last
week-probably it had never before been
witnessed in a legislative body-when
Gen. Garfield read the eulogy prepared
by the Hon. III. III. Starkweather, upon
Senator Ferry, who had preceded Mr..
Starkweather some months to the grave.
Mr.. Garfield said it was the most sad and
sacred duty he had ever performed, as
no doubt it was. The eulogy concluded
with the following lines from Bonar ap-
piled to the dead Senator, but which now
seem like prophecy of the sad fate of
Mr.. Starkweather himself:
Beyond the parting and the meeting
L shall be soon;
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond this pulses fever beating,
shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet hope!
Lord, tarTy not, but come.
Beyond the frost-chain and the fever,
shall be soon;
Beyond the rock waste and the river,
Beyond the ever and the never,
/ shall be soon.
Love, rest, and home!
Sweet hope!
Lord, tarry not, but come.
To which Mr.. Starkweather added,
with still greater poetic vision: AYE,
the sweeter words OF inspiration, in the
volume of the Book is written: 'Lo,
come quickly. Even So come, Lord Je-
sus.' And he came y. \. Observer.

The Ohio House Of Representatives
held night session one night last week,
and the Democrats attempted to prevent
any business being done. Speaker Gros-
venor overruled them, and proceeded
with the public business, whereupon Al
len o. Myers, correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, wrote an abusive and
lying letter to the Enquirer about Gen.
Grosyenor. A resolution was introduc ed
to expel Myers, but, on motion of Gen.
Grosyenor, it was laid on the table.

The Monahans were at home during
the recent recess of the Legislature. l.
I. showed us a draft of a bill he has
drawn up. to have the liquor law en-
forced. 1t proposes to put officers out of
Office who fail to do their duty in the
premises. The trouble is, that it will be
as difficult to find volunteers who will be
willing to oust these delinquent officers,
as it now is to find volunteers to prose
cute liquor cases.

The Holmes County Republican gives
the testimony in a murder case, by which
it appears that German named Mosen-
bach, residing in Berlin township, was
drinking whisky all the forenoon on
Sunday, Feb. 18th, and because his sick
wife would not get out Of bed and sweep
the room, he exercised the personal
liberty" of beating her to death with an
ax-handle. Her face, back, hips and
thighs were frightfully bruised and mu-
tilated. The murdered woman leaves a

Here is the last we have heard from
the Gallipolis railroad. 1t is taken from

A boy in Cincinnati last Saturday night
thought he would have a little fun with
his little brother, who was in bed asleep;
so he put pistol to his ear and fired it,

and brain poured from the wound, the
fool became terribly scared, as is usual in
these funny affairs.

The directors of the Springfield, Jack
and Pomeroy Railroad, had another
meeting at Waverly this week, and upon
consulting the best legal authorities,
came to the conclusion that it would not
be safe to take the contract out of the
hands of the contractors until further
period of twenty days shall have elapsed.
If at the end of that period, the con-
tractors shall not have come to terms,
then the directors will declare the con-
tract forfeited, and proceed to pay off the
hands.
