The Difference.

A special from Washington to the
Cincinnati Times, dated Jan. 4, says
The dismissal of ex-Union and wound
ed soldiers from positions in the House
still continues. Under the pressure OF
the Southern members, four Republi-
cans were removed to-day, two of
whom had served in the Union Army,
and their places were given to ex-Reb-
els.
That is democratic style; Confed-
crate soldiers preferred over Union
soldiers. Now mark Republican ac-
tion. Speaking of the organization
of the General Assembly of Ohio a
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times says:
One of the most noticeable features of
both bodies is the large proportion of
disabled soldiers who have been honor
ed with positions as Clerks and Ser
geant-at-Arms.
The contrast needs no comment.

That Appeal Law.

In q botched and unintelligible
manner the Legislature of last winter
passed an appeal law which does not
allow an appeal to be taken from a
Justice of the Peace where the
amount in controversy is less than
800. We see that bill has been in
troduced in our present Legislature
TO repeal the same. We hope that
it will be done, and that our repre-
sentatives will spare no labor to see
that the same is effected. The de-
sign of last winters law, if design it
had at all, was to stop petty litiga-
tion. The injury it worked is obvi-
GUS. We can safely say that three
fourths of the litigation before JUS
tices is concerning amounts less than
500. Indeed it is rather the excep-
tion that suit is brought before jus
tice where the amount is over $lOO.
There are rights which a person
should have attendant upon his
claim of 500 as well as upon his
claim of $11O, but when once defeat
ed before Justice, however just his
demand may be, or however trivial
the reason for his failure to secure
his rights, his remedy is at an end.
Petty litigation can be dispensed
with, if that is the great bugaboo,
by making the sum, as of old, $50,
instead of 800.
We speak what we do speak in be-
half of our people, who have been
pecuniarily injured during the past
twelve months on account Demo-
cratic Legislatures indiscretion.

A NEW railroad project has been
started. The proposition is to con-
struct narrow gauge road from Gin
cinnati, through the counties Of Cler-
mont, Brown, Adams and Scioto, to
jackson. Responsible parties have
offered to build, equip and run it
provided citizens along the route sub
scribe $4,000 per mile in stock and
furnish the right of way. Meetings
are being held in aid Of the enter
prise, and the people are taking Q
lively interest in the matter.

LINES FOR THE MOURNING FRIENDS.
! BY MRS. c. G. BLAGG.
Our little LENA is buried to-day;
Gone-down in the depths of the church
yard clay,
Up in the sky so dim and gray,
Who will take care of our baby?
Who will kiss her?-her waxen feet,
Which had learned to walk, and her
small hands sweet,
Where we left white rOse-as was
meet
Who will kiss our little baby?
Who will teach er?-her wings to fly,
Her tiny limbs their new work to ply,
Her soft sweet lips to sing gloriously-
Oh! who will teach our little baby?
We have kindred who long ago died
We speak of them now with our tears
all dried;
They may know our pretty one come to
their side,
And be glad to see our little baby.
Christ, born of woman, hear, oh! hear I!
Thine angels are far Off-she seems near,
Give Thou our child to our friends so
dear,
And we'll weep no more for our little
baby.
WATTS-In Jackson, Dec. II. 1875,
of consumption, Mr.. CLARK r. WATTS,
in the 25th year of his age, leaving a
wife and numerous friends to mourn
his loss.
Mr.. WATTS had been confined to his
room about three months; and rs he ap-
preached the banks of Jordan, he could
say with truth, "Jesus can make a dy-
ing bed, soft as dOwny pillows are,"
and trusting in Him who robbed the
grave of its terr0rs and Death of his vic
tory, he calmly and sweetly breathed
his soul into the embrace of his loving
Savior, and departed in the full assur-
ance of a hissful immortality, his last
words being, "Jesus has come" and
with smile OIL his countenance died,
truly leaving this world exultingiy
while friends around were weeping.
May He who sustained him in the hour
of death, throw His arms of love and
protection around the bereayed wife and
friends, and point them to the husband,
brother, friend, only gone before to wait
and welcome them to tile Eternal CITY,
when the Master shall say ''it is
enough, come up higher" c..
The deceased was a son of Mr.. JAMES
WATTS, of this county.
RIFE-On the 29tI, of Dec, 1875, Jo-
sEPH NELSON RIFE, of consumption, in
the twentieth year of his age. Though
young and much beloved by all who |
knew him, he was ready and willing to
exchange the sorrows of earth for the |
joys of Heaven. His sufferings have |
ended in joy-his weariness i'm rest. and |
this sweet consolation calms the sorrow |
of our achiug hearts.
"Oh, how sweet it will be in that beau
tiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain.
With songs on our lips and with harps
in our hands
Tomeet one another again."

DEMOCRATIC dislike of Union sol
diers is not confined to Congress
The democratic members of the Ohio
Legislature show forth their hatred
of these armless heroes. Mr.. Dali
zELL, of Noble, offered a resolution
in the House expressing the senti-
ment that, all other things being
equal, Union soldiers should be pre-
ferred to Confederate in filling Off
cial positions. Mark the result.
Every democratic member voted
against the resolution! This is a
shameful record. 1t is virtually say
ing that = IS right and proper to
trsn out of their places, as Congress
has done, the wounded Union soldiers
and fill their places with Confederate
soldiers. This act should be remem-
bered when these fellows come
around pleading for your vote.

The Standing Committees in both
Houses of the General Assembly
were announced on Thursday. They
are represented to have been made
with due amount of judgment, dis
elimination and care. Mr.. STONE,
besides being a member of the COM
mittee on Hospitals for the Insane,
is Chairman of the Penitentiary
Committee. This il II honorable
and important position. OF his fit
ness for the place the correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gate says:
The Penitenti 4r zee is also
capitally mad Chairman,
Stone, of CAL lous and un-
firing in pUTsuh - lvOcacy of what
he believes to be right, and always con-
scientious in the discharge Of duty.
The same correspondent further
remarks:
Upon the magnificent organization of
the House Gen. GrOsvenOr may well be
congratulated. 1t is entirely satisfac-
tory to all good men here, as it will be
to the people of the State at large. and.
if it excites the howl of a few disap-
pointed and bilious place-seekers, the
new Speaker, like the mass of the people
of Ohio of both parties, can well afford
to smile.

Our reform Congress has gone into
the work of investigations with a
liberal hand. 1t is hunting for q
political nest egg. These investiga-
tions will prove very expensive to the
Treasury, and will probably eventu-
ate in no practical benefit. But
democracy is bound to make a
splurge, now that it has accidentally
been put in power, and the cost of the
thing, or the good to result from it,
are secondary consideration with
them.
