Perry Savage, a young man twen-
ty-three years of age, who lives in
Gallia county, Ohio, was yesterday
morning struck by train on the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati Railroad, about
mile and q half from Ludlow. 1t
seems that Savage, seeing a passen
ger train approaching on one track,
jumped off upon the other line, when he
was struck by freight train coming
the other way. He was thrown out
the track and picked up in an uncon-
scious condition by Andrew Schaffer
and John Smith, of ST. Bernard, who
brought him to the Cincinnati Hospi-
tai in an express wagon. He ap-
pears to be suffering from concussion
of the brain, and has frightful scalp
wound on the back Of his head, but
the physicians think he will recover.

The Kentucky Republicans held
their State Convention at Louisville
on Thursday. They present BRIs-
TOW for President in words that
would stir the patriotism of the
most indifferent. We copy from the
Cincinnati Gazette report:
The following section was read, and
caused great applause, hand-shaking,
and hat-throwing:
Gas Kentucky gave Abraham Lincoln
to his country and to mankind, for the
great-work by him, she now presents
Benjamin ii. Bristow to complete the
correction of the ills ever incident to
war. His past conduct in office is an
earnest evidence of his future course.
He has been true to Republican princi-
pies in war and peace, ever manly, calm
and courageous, and ever faithful in the
discharge of his duties. His persistent
and successful warfare against cOrrup-
ton deserves the thanks of all the
friends of honest government. In thus
presenting and commencing our fellow
citizen to the Republican National
Convention, we are not unmindfu of
the distinguished services and worth Of
other Republicans. We trust that the
Cincinnati Convention will present as
candidates such men whose allegiance
to the party has been proved, and who
have the moral courage to enforce the
law.
Up to this point the proceedings had
been tame enough, but pending the re-
port by the districts of their delegates to
Cincinnati, Hon. w. S. Goodloe, of
Lexington, took the stand. For about
twenty minutes the Convention was
raised to the highest pitch of enthusi-
asm by the fervid eloquence of the
speaker. Abiding to the objections to
Bristow's nativity, he said the men of
the North did not know
WHAT 1T HAD COST TO BE UNION MAN
in the South during the days of '61-'65.
at was easy enough to be Union
man in the North, shut up within her Sc
cure borders, but in Kentucky it was
mans very life. 1t is no wonder that
the Union men of Kentucky cling to the
Republican party as the Christian clings
to his cross. They refer to Johnson.
Andrew johnson, if born on the soil of
Massachusetts and in Faneuil Hall,
would have been the same political
apostate and traitor that he was, and
Benjamin r. Bristow, if born under the |
palmetto tree, would have been the
same pure and incorruptible patriot
that he is to-day"

In addition to the Bill Allenites of
Ohio, another political organization
has sprung into existence demanding
of the government an issue of green
backs equal to their wants. 1t ap-
pears under the name of the "Green-
hackers" It's National Convention
was field in indianapolis last week.
An attempt was made to capture
Ohio's Bill Allen and make him their
candidate for President, but the
old man replied that he could not go
out of the Democratic organization
to accept nominations. They then
nominated Peter Cooper, of New
York, for President, and Newton
Booth, of California, for Vice Presi-
dent. Cooper is only SS years old,
but it is said he too declines the
honor.
What pity it is the government
won't give these men all the money
they want, so that they can continue
to live in idleness.

In the battle between the Politicians
and the People in this city yesterday the
power of earnest men devoted to a cause
was made manifest. The politicians had
the party machinery; they packed the
Convention SO far as able; they misrep-
resented whole counties; they had mon
ey and they had discipline, but they
couldn't stand before the will of the
people. Cincinnati Enquirer.
"The will of the people," indeed!
Hero in -Gallia, few Of the "Politi-
cians," chronic office-seckers, met in
the office of the Bulletin one dark
evening, and packed their Allen dele
gates, and this the Enquirer calls
"the will of the peopler' The people
had no more to do with the matter
than the good of the country had to
do with the Convention. 1t was
a packed convention all the way
through, and it turns out the Allen
men were the most successful pack
ers.

VANCE's associate in working up
the business of the Government
printing Office, is a member from
Mississippi, named o. r. Singleton.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer gives a
brief history of the man. He was a
secessionist Of the rabid style. The
following incident OF his intense ha-
tired of the Union is related:
I well remember hearing friend
describe an interview he had with
him at the Burnet House, in Cincin-
natl, when the country was on the
eve of war. In discussing the ques-
tion of secession Singleton gave way
to his passions, and, grasping a to-
bacco-jar that stood at hand, livid
with rage, he dashed the glass vessel
in a thousand pieces, saying:
"There If I had the power l would
dash this Union in as many pieces as
that!"
This man is a model Investigator
of Republican officials. No doubt he
would be happy to investigate Grants
Vicksburg campaign.

The Great Family Row.

The Ohio Democracy came togeth-
er in State Convention, at Cincinna-
ii, last Wednesday. 1t was an ex-
citing meeting. 1t was battle for
leadership between the forces of AL
len and Thurman. The factions were
of nearly equal strength, and the
struggle was a bitter and protracted
one. Allen came out ahead, and the
Thurman men retired in disgust,
filled with bitterness and threatening
mutiny. The Gazette says:
The Democrats yesterday achieved a
great victory over the Democracy. They
split the party, and sent half of it home
bowling execratiOns on the other half.
They adopted platform which has no
more promise of a currency blessing
than simply the substitution of one kind
of paper for another equally rs good.
They Endorsed candidate who has no
supporters abroad, and who, at the last
election in Ohio, was beaten in the pop
ular vote. They dispatched one Presi-
Dental candidate, but did not set up an
other. Yet it was glorious Democratic
victory.
The Enquirer characterizes it as a
striumph of the people over the pol
iticians, of Democracy over preten-
ders." 1t is triumph over which
Republicans can rejoice, as it has
raised an issue, says the Commercial,
that will rend the st. Louis Conven-
tion, as the bowels of this Convention
were torn in its delivery. 1t was
triumph that will make easy Re-
publican victory in Ohio in Octohar

The Swamp Land Inwarlness.
From the ChillicOthe Gazette.l


Congressman Vance, of the 11th
Ohio District has introduced bill to
remove the Land Office and records
of the Congressional and Virginia
Military Land Districts in this city
to Columbus The Portsmouth
Trunes or last week contains fung
article commencing the bill. In the
bill itself, as well as the article in the
Times, we think we see the handi-
work of Ralph Leete, the President
of the Board of Directors of the
Ohio Agricultural College, for what
does Congressman Vance know or
care about the Virginia Military Dis
trict? Nothing. Ralph Leete does
care. AS agent of the College he
gets thirtythree per cent. on all "un-
discovered" tracts of land he can
find. He is the prosecutor in all the
cases which have grown out of the
grant of unsold land in the State to
the Agricultural College, and thus
far has reaped the principal benefit
of the act. The records are to be
removed for his benefit, where he can
obtain freer access perhaps, than the
officials here allow.
1t is to the interest of the people
of the Virginia Land District that
the records remain just where they
are at least until all the suits likely
to grow out of the Agricultural Col
lege are settled. The records contain
the evidence of title to half the lands
in this district, and we regard it as
of the utmost Importance that this
evidence be left in hands where there
will be no temptation to tamper with
it-that it remain in the hands of
the people, and be not turned over to
their prosecutors.

Some idea of the importance of
the Money Power in politics can be
gathered from the recent fight in
Connecticut over the seat in the Sen
ate made vacant some time ago by the
death Of o. S. Ferry.-Cin. En-
q,sirer.
Yes, and besides, asome idea" OF
Democratic corruption, for the
"money power" here referred to was
altogether Democratic. There has
never been a more corrupt transac-
tion in this country than that which
has recently occurred in Connecticut
In connection with the nomination of
a United States Senator. Money,
boldly used, bought the position. All
the parties to it were and are Demo
crats-the Legislature and the can
didates-and these are the men that
propose to reform governmental af-
fairs! There were two candidates
for the nomination, English and Bar
mum. English is said to have spent
not less than $4,000 in the contest
but Barnum is supposed to have
spent much larger sum, as he came
off conquerer. 1t seems to hav'
been on a level with what Democrat
charge In regard to the election o
Senators by carpet-bag legislature
in the South.
There is no political reform il
such men. If corrupt in seeking Of
fee, they will be corrupt in Office.
