The colored people held a convention
at Nashville short time ago. and many
Democrats take comfort from what was
said and done One Democratic paper
says:
The colored men in the Convention, at
Nashville, expressed views in opposition
to the color-line policy. They are begin
ming to see, especially in the South, that
it is ruinous to their own interests to ad-
here blindly to one pakty.
Now read what Col. Robert Harlan,
one Of the colored orators, said:
would not appeal to the Democratic
party except by example-by showing
them that the public interest and their
own interest as citizens, and even as
Democrats, will be best promoted by Sc
curing to all citizens the enjoyment of
their lawful rights. We can not expect
anything more than they do not hurt US;
to ask more would be unreasonable, to
expect more would be unwise, to depend
on anything more would be foolish, and
might expose US to great peril. They
make US hattering promises, and no
doubt many of them are sincere in seek
ing to convince us that they are our best
friends. and that, if we surrender to theLl,
leave the Republican party and go over
in a body. they will take care of us and
secure US in all our rights and privileges.
Let us grant that they mean all they say,
and are as frank and kind as they are
honorable and chivalric. Yet it would
not be safe for US to abandon our old
friends and take refuge among our
former enemies-the enemies of the
whole system and policy which gave to
us all we have IS citizens.
How long would they be able to re-
strain themselves if they had full sway
and power? How long would wise and
moderate men be able to control the
Democratic masses. II the party was in
possession of the National Government,
and of all :he Southern States, we csn
Judge what would happen by what we
see now. They have only the House of
Representatives in Congress-the Presi-
dent and the Senate are against them
yet see how wild and reckless they grow
Leading and able men defending Jeffer-
son Davis and attacking Abraham Lin
colin proclaiming the right Of secession
and denouncIng the war for the Union.
What a contrast between our situation
now and what it was few years ago.
Then, under Democratic rule, the colored
people Of America, with few scattering
exceptions, were slaves; and those few
were a subjected class, without civil
rights. Now all are, under Republican
rule, free; all are citizens. all Americans

NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
BIZ d. MACKLEY.

Bread was baked in three ways by the
pioneers. A good way TO bake corn
bread by those who camped out, when
digging ginseng, or when hunting wild
game, was to mix the corn meal with hot
water. and then roll the dough into =
round ball, wrap. it with dry, clean
leaves, and cover it with hot embers,
where it would soon bake, and be very
good bread. At home, bread was
generally baked in a castiron oven. The
lid of the oven had a fange turned
up around the edge, to hold the
Goals upon the lid. The oven was
partly filed with dough, in the form of
pone, or three or four Jumps were put
in the corners, as dodgers. Goals were
put under the oven. and on the lid. Be-
fore putting the lid on the oven, it was
put upon the fire for time, and heated.
Some times pumpkins were boiled,
mashed, and mixed with the dough, and
pumpkin bread was sweet, palatable and
healthy.
Johnny cakes were very common, and
were made by putting dough upon a
board prepared for that purpose, and
then placed before the fire until it be-
came baked and brown, and then it was
slid off the board and the other side
turned towards the fire until baked
through. This was one of the best kinds
OF bread made.
Meat was the next prime necessity
with the pioneer. In this respect our
fathers Jared very much better than we
do. Venison. or the meat of the wild
deer. was the finest, incest meat that
could be had. The animal was peculiarly
neat and clean, and free from all disease.
Its food was the incest of vegetables.
The meat of the wild turkey was also
very fine, and much purer than the meat
Of the tame turkey, as in its wild state II
did not eat so much impure food as the
tame turkey gets about the barn yard
good many squirrels and pheasants
were eaten, but qusils and rabbits, al
though abundant, were considered toe
small game for those times. Pork and
bacon were much used, and the hogs
half wild. fatted upon acorns and nuts
made meat Of a much finer quality, and
better taste than that OF hogs fatted on
corn, and the meat was more healthy.
Beef and mutton were seldom used, al
though cattle were easily raised in the
range, and were in fine condition.

THE RAILROAD.

The Directors of the Springfield, Jack
son and Pomeroy Railroad had a meet
ing in Cincinnati last week, and declared
the contract with the Western Construc-
tion Company at an end They will in
a short time re-let the work.
There has been a desire manifested very
generally, that Mr. Emmitt should take
the contract. Everybody has confidence
in Mr.. Emmitts honesty and business
capacity, and if he could be induced to
undertake the completion Of the road,
there would be no hesitancy in paying
up subscriptions. The way the matter
has been progressing. there has been too
much ground for suspicion that all was
not right
We hope Mr.. Emmitt may undertake
the completion of the road.

as misreprcsenting the true state of the
case, and containing an implied threat
which can by no possibility do the cause
any good. At the State Convention in
Columbus, no sentiment Of any Of the
speakers was more warmly applauded
than that OF the Chairman, in his open
ing speech, in which he pledged Ohio to
stand by the nominee Of the Cincinnati
Convention, and given him the Republi-
can vote. While our own Governor
| Hayes would receive by far larger ma

that could be selected for the head OF

ton of another. be he Bristow, or Blaine
or some other yet unnamed statesman,
the great State OF Ohio will certainly not
be the first to fly the track, but will
come to the front with a good round ma.
jority.-[Springfield Republic.
In answer to the above we desire to
say, that the independent voters Of Ohio
are not to be handed over like lot oI
hogs or cattle. by the Chairman OF any
convention. Ohio will give Hayes a very
large majority if he should be nominated
for President. Morton. Blaine or Conk
ling would carry the State. But let Bris
tow try it against such a man as Thur
man, and our prediction would be more
than verified. We did not write tine
above, quoted by the Republic by way o
/ threat, but by way Of caution.

1t does seem impossible for the Re
publican party to please the Democrats.
Last year it was charged that the Repub.
licans were not good temperance men,
because they nominated Jim. Williams
for Auditor of State, and Tom Young for
Lieut.. Governor and the good temper
ance Democracy declared that the said
Jim and Tom were awful drunkards.
Now our friends take the other tack,
and the Cincinnati Enquirer says:
The Prohibition party in Ohio is seri-
ously contemplating the withdrawal Of
its ticket from the field. The Republi-
can State Convention last week came SO
squarely up to the prohibition standard
in its nominations that the Prohibition
lists par excellence feel that their mission
as an independent organization is ended.
Judge Boynton, the candidate for Su-
preme Judge is a Western Reserve man
and q consistent advocate of the Tenn
perance cause; Barnes, candidate for
Secretary of State, neither tastes nor
handles the unclean thing known as
sour-mash. and would, if he could, ban
ish the German and his exhilarating
lager; Evans, the candidate for Board Of
Public Works, was once a candidate on
the State Prohibition ticket. and is a
Crusader of the most approved pattern.
You cannot wheedle and fool the Ger
mans in that manner. They have their
faults, but they are neither fools nor
traitors. They very well know that tenn
perance is no more an issue than 10
woman suffrage.

The Columbus Journal gives the great

The Columbus Journal gives the great
Independent the following good dig:
The Cincinnati Commercial is like a
Potomac shad-it affords a variety of
white and brown nutriment. but there is
such an uncomfortable prevalence Of
fOrked bones in the carcass that it is diff
cult to extract the diet, and the epicure
is more likely to choke on the bones
than to cherish his brain with the phos-
phorus. The bones defy anatomical re-
search. They are constantly turning up
in the most unexpected places, rending
the glottis and making assures in the
mucous membrane. The most innocent
looking bit of succulent white meat il
sure to have q jagged tripod of bone hid
away in it, watch develops after the at
tempt at deglutition has been more or
less successfully accomplished. Ii is APP

do not banker after shad They have

movement, ss a spontaneous evolution

tiers. As logical sequence Of these neu

The Gallipolis Bulletin copies what we
said about Brissow's big fee in the mule
claim, and then says:
mol there is no law against private
opinion and it's our private opinion
that paying over a hundred thousand
dollars for S32 mules, and permitting the
parties to keep the mules and money
too, was plain case of wholesale steal
ing. Furthermore we believe, as did
Secretary Stanton. that the fellows never
bought or had a solitary mule when the
war closed, much less over 800; but hav-
ing gotten a quartermaster to agree to
take that many, set up the whole job.
ANY way mules were higher in the South
and West alter the war than before, and
there could have been no loss. The
whole thing could have been knocked in
the head by setting up the statute OF
limitations, but the Government, through
Mr.. Belknap's advice waived its claim to
this defense and it went through slick
