The republican party in this State
is just now in a bad fix. This un
fortunate condition is the result of
the party not needing the advice Of
the State Register, given many
months ago, to get rid of the disrep-
utable horde of bummers and thieves
that had pensioned themselves on
the party. The time was when the
party was able to do this. When
it was in the full strength of its
power, and had every official posi-.
ton in the State it was master of the
situation. Then it could have assert

and political records would have

of representatives and they propose

The amount Of the funded debt
OF Ohio is 1885, 1850. The rate
OF taxes levied annually to pay this
debt, as it becomes due, and to pay
the interest on the same, is eight
tenths of one mill on the dollar, as
property is valued for taxation. The
total value of the property in Ohio,
as valued for taxation in 1874, was
81, $50, 279. 34; which raises sum
annually, for State use, amounting
t. about 81, 100000. The total levy
for all State purposes last year was
three and two tenth mills.

The Vote Of the South.

votes of the Southern States as

He adds:
aFvery other Southern State will

Sheriff Morgan, OF Yazoo County,
Mississippi, who was run off by the
whites, and knows something of
their temper, says that twenty five
thousand soldiers can not save Mis-
sissippi to the Republican party. II
that State, with majority ofthirty
thousand colored voters, can be
carried by the Democrats, what can
the Republicans expect from any
other Southern Statei No other
State, except South Carolina, has a
positive colored majoiity, and if the
Republicans can not carry Missis.

carry3 None at all, except South
Carolina. The combined South has
one hundred and thirty eight Elec-
toral votes, or within forty.eight Of
enough to elect. Deduct South
Carolina, and they still have within
fifty-five of enough to cleo lu
this part OF the country they feel
assured that they can get the re
quired fifty five in all the rest Of
the United States, and for this rea
son they are very hopeful Of pulling
through this Centennial year. In &
word, the Democrats of the SOutt
are very cheerful. They are assured
of four States that have not hereto
fore, at any Presidential election
been counted within the range o
Democratic possibiiities-namely
Louisiana. Mississippi, Arkansas
and Alabama"

The New England States, and
notable Massachusetts, the most
important of them, express strong
disapprobation OF the brilliant STRAIT
egy by which Mr.. Blaine succeeded
in annoying and foiling the Demo

the liberal sentiments of his section
of the country and at the expense
Of his own constituency. There
has been no remaining bitterness
toward the South among the mass
of New England people since the
centennial greetings and hospitali

fervent wish that the dead past may

Grants Anti Catholic thunder,
and Morton's ''bloody shirt" have
changed owners, and Blaine does
the thunder and shakes the bloody
rag! The bland man of peace has
become the warrior, and in defiance
of what was supposed to be public
sentiment-that the wounds made
by the war, were about healed over.
Blaine, the bland, steps into the
arena and shakes his ''gory locks"
in the face of the American people,
and tears the bandages from the
old sores.
he has gathered new laurels as
parliamentarian; and disclosed more
of his true character in his speech
on the Amnesty bill than in all his
previous history as q public man.
A man Of peace, VIM. Penn, found
ed Blaine's native State Of Pennsyl-
vania, and, unless her people have
wonderfully deteriorated, his war
cry will meet with no answering
shout from them. However, it has
doubtless gained him friends among
the Scalawags and Carpet baggers
Of the South, as they will roll, like q
sweet morsel under their tongues,
anything likely to prove damaging
to the decent Southern people.
Grant, Morton, Blaine, trio of
vindictive spirits! The Lord grant,
that the destinies of the American
people may never again be intrust-
ed to the first and we think it is q
safe prediction, that they will never
be instructed to either Of the other
two.

the House has passed a printing
bin, providing that municipal and

thought this bill will pass the

Something similar to the bill re-

/. prrRIrIsD FOREST IN THE DESERT

From David Rideout, who has been en-
gagged in preparing section OF petrineo
tree for the Centennial Exhibition, we
learn the following relative to the petritied
forest in the desert of Northwestern Hum
boldt. On the plain, about thirty miles
west Of the Blackjack range OF mountains,
stands one of the greatest natural curiosi
ties ever discovered in Nevada. 1t is pet
rified forest, in which the stumps of many
of the trees, now changed into solid rock,
are still standing. There are no living
trees or vegetation of any kind other than
the stunted sage brush in the vicinity.
Some of these ancient giants of the forest
which fourished, perhaps, thousands OF
years ago, when the climate OF Nevada
was undoubtedly more favorable for the
growth of luxuriant vegetation imam at
present, rival in size the big trees OF Cal
ifornia, Stumps, transformed into soma
rock, stand in an upright position with
their roots imbedded in the soil, as when
growing. that measure from fifteen TO
twepty-six feet in circumference, and the
ground in the vicinity is strewn win tne
trunks and limbs, which retain their natu-
raj shane and size. Mr.. Rideout, deter
mined to secure section of one OF these
trees for the Centennial Exhibition, with
two other men, spent twelve days in cut
ting it from the stump. This was accom-
plished by drilling all around the tree and
separating it with wedges. The specimen
is three feet high and eighteen feet in cir
conference, and its estimated weight is
three tons. 1t stands on the stump from
which it was severed, ready to be loaded
on a wagon. Mr.. Rideout does not feel
able to incur the expense OF bringing it
by team to the railroad, though he had
once made arrangements to do so, but the
other party to the agreement failed to per-
form his part. He is anxious to call the
attention of the Centennial Commission
ers to the matter and see if they will not
furnish the means to get it to the railroad.
The country in which it is situated is an
inviting field for geologists.- Winnemnc-
