Republicans of this vicinity to meet
fer the purpose of organizing Hayes
q Wheeler club, goodly number
met at the wigwam last Friday
night, and after listening to the band
for short time, they proceeded to
i elect officers for the evening. L. Mat
tingly was elected chairman, and Il.
II. Boulton secretary, after which
things grew more enthusiastic. Short
/ addresses were made by S. l.. Parks,
Matt. Erwin and H. A. Snepp, stating
object of the meeting, and urging to
battle, all who are in favor of equal
rights and justice. Following the
addresses and preceded by a song
by the glee club, came the enrolment
of the names of such persons as wish
ed to be counted on the Lords side.
And of such there were present no
less than $50. Then came the cleo
ton of officers who are to remain on
duty throughout the campaign, or
in other words, until Hayes is elected
President of the United States. James
o. Parks was elected president; Jo-
seph Core vice-president; James
Matchett secretary; S. l.. Parks
treasurer; Fl. III. Tyrrell marshal and
Harrison Sparrow assistant marshal.
A suitable constitution was adopted,
lively piece played by the band
three cheers were given for Hayes
and Wheeler, and the assembly broke
up to meet next Saturday night.
In the town of New Paris, on
Wednesday evening last Jewish
tramp" was seen by two ladies to
take possession of. and drive of, a
horse and buggy which had been left
but short time before, by a young
man well know to them. Shortly
afterward the owner came TO see how
his horse was getting along, and
learned that it had been getting
along pretty lively for few moments
contrary to his wishes. Immediate
pursuit was instituted, but it was not
until Saturday that they captuted
the thief. He was caught some six
miles north east of this place by the
owner Of the property and a few
other men, and was treated in rather
a heathenish manner. We under
stand that he made no attempt to es-
cape, but surrendered peaceably, and
instead OF receiving humane treat
ment, the owner of the horse beat
him over the head with the but of a
navy revolver until it went of, and
misused him generally. He was
handcuffed, strap was fastened
around his neck, and then secured to
the buggy, and instead of placing
him in the buggy where there was
plenty Of room, they told him they
would test his power endurance, by
letting him trot along behind while
they drove to Boubon, however, they
finally became ashamed of them
selves and let him ride. After they
reached Bourbon they had him on
exhibition several hours, washed the
blood and dust off OF him, which was
rather abundant, and finally deliver
ed him into the hands OF the sheriff
ofElkhaIt county, who took him away
on The evening train. He claimed to
be the son OF a wealthy banker in
Kansas, and stole the property be-
cause his father would not send him
all the money he wanted. He also
plead poverty as an excuse, which
was apparently true, judging from
his general appearance.

PLYMOCTH. Aug. Z

PLYMOUTH, Aug. Z, 1876.
The lecture Monday night by Mr.
G. r. CLANCY, on the political His
tory Of the U. S. was well received,
and although brief was full of such
historical information as teachers are
in need of. The reasons why the elo-
quence of Patrick Henry and other
patriots of his kind was so bitterly
opposed by the Royalists in the colon
les, together with his excuse for such
opposition, was calculated to arouse
a train Of thought in the student
which must end in much valuable
good. His contrast between the col
onies Of Virginia and Massachusetts
was illustrative OF that puritanical
hard-shell belief on the one side, and
the aristocratical high minded royal
sentiment of the other, aud showed
that while Massachusetts, led off first
in her system Of schools aud public
education, she was also first to perse-
cute and ill treat those who thought
differently on church matters from
them The development of the U. S.
under the constitutional period up to
the great rebellion, was interesting
throughout. and listened to attentive
ly by large number of citizens as
well as the class.
The object OF recitation has been
one of great interest, and one that
should be well studied by all teachers.
The first object Is. to ascertain the er-
tent of preparation, on the part of the
pupil. According to the principles
laid down, in reference to assigning
lessons" no more labor should be Civ
en- than can be thoroughly mastered
by the pupil; and then, when time for
recitation arrives, everything assign
ed should be demanded. When a les
son is assigned in a proper manner,
the pupil is laid under the most bind
ing obligations to prepare it. Any
failure to fulfill that obligation should
be regarded as an act of willful DISC
bedience, and should be punished ac-
cordingly. The second object of re-
citation is, To aid in more thorough
understanding Of the subject matter
Of the lesson. The third object of re-
citation is, To aid in retaining the
knolcledge. or cttItiuatiag the pOseer
Of He,Dory. The fourth and last OBJ
ject We shall name, is the cultiUdtion1

other disorderly conduct, and fined

he was forwarded to Plymouth, and

treatment may seem severe, it is per-

Last Friday evening was the
time designated for the organization
of Hayes and Wheeler club at this
place. At an early hour Waag's hall
was densely packed with ladies and
gentlemen, and throughout the pro-
ceedings lively interest was mani
tested. The club was organized by
the selection of the following officers:
Pres, M. l.. Smith; V. Pres, DIR. Po-
cock; Sec, - Davis; Treas, Jona-
than Pickerl; Marshal, Joseph f.
Norton. During and since the meet
ing 40 names have been enrolled.
CLANCY. Bender and Smith made
brief speeches, and the Glee Club, of
Plymouth, and the Argos String Band
discoursed seul-stirring music. 1t
was grand meeting, and, all in all,
"it was good to be there" The Re-
publicans of this locality are aroused
and intend to do their whole duty.

in hand, adds larger per cent. to
meet losses from bad debts, but which
often falls far short of the mark.
Each purchaser who is ultimately
able TO pay bears the proportionate
burden OF this tax, and both contrib
ute large sums to indulge those who
cannot and. what is worse, those who
never intend to pay, thus stimulating
fraud. From the manufactures to the
consumer the tax induced by the
credit system is increased The lat
ter consumes more freely because he
buys on time. Extravaganza usurps
the place OF economy and produces
Incidence. The retailer, who has i'm
posed the last and larger tax, often
finds nothing left with his customer
but the fragments of that he sold
him, and then comes up the cry,
What are you going to do about it. :"
To ask for small debts is painful to
the lender and is considered as an in.
suit by the borrower There are
many who are prone to contract new
debts and lose sight of old ones.
Such are mere passengers in the life

oars and furnish everything. AS time
rolls on the statute of limitation dims
their vision; the Rubicon is passed
and the debts are payed. 1t ais fair
business transaction" say they; the
law intervenes. Confidence, integ-
rity, justice and honor have no part
in the matter. We will obey the law
and make it honorable. There is an
other class of borrowers whom we
will not offend by passing by. They
are those who borrow little sugar,
coffee, tea, butter, flour, meat, and
and everything. These
borrowers have generally bad men,
cries, and If their memories serve
them their weight and measures are
lessened by long use. or, perhaps,
they think it right to take toll enough
to pay for running their borrowing
machine. So long as the pernicious
credit system prevails monetary pres
sures and panics will continue @Owe
no man. Be not thou one of them
that strike hands, or of them that are
sureties for debts" These are divine
commands which. if obeyed, will free
us from many ills and woes.

careful reader will discover that the
two letters are badly mixed, by an ac
cident which was not discovered until
the first side of the paper was print

Tilden's letter on the 4th page; but,
instead of that, we have more than a
column of Hendricks tackled on the
end of that part of Tifden's which APP

page will be found the last part of
Tilden's and the first part Of Hen

difference, as the few who read the
letters can get about as much sense
out of them mixed up as they could if
they were separated. Our object i'm
publishing the letters is to give all a
chance to judge for themselves of the
fitness of the candidates for the posi-
tons to which they aspire. The care
full reader cannot fail to admire Mr..
Tilden's manner of disposing of the
public debt and the redemption of
greenbacks and national currency in
gold. 1t does not seem to him that
it is difficult matter to settle all the
vexed questions. The common mind
cannot grasp the subject as Tilden
does, and common people may fail to
see the point of his argument, if it
has any. The question where was

not stop the rebellion, ami save the
treasure, and the lives of the people?
