Tyvo Pictures 10 Look Upon.

As specimen of ''Christian" charity and con-
sistency, we think the following articles are en-
titled to the first premium. They are both from
one of the leading religious papers of America,
the New York Obserrer, of February 18th, and
appeared on the page entitled "Religious De-
partment," in adjoining columns, almost as close
together as we have placed them, for contrast.
The first is common ebullition of priestly NAL
Ice, labored effort to prove that Tom Paine was
not only drunkard, but that he was so hlthy
and repulsive that his attending physician could
scarcely endure to be in his presence; and even
his bones are slandered, after the flesh has long
been rotted off of them. The other is an lndig-
nant protest against defaming the dead-ln iact'
it condemns reflections upon their memory, even
if well founded. But this protest IS called forth
by joke at.the expense of a defunct preacher-
not slander, but simple joke, by one brother
upon another. Read them, and preserve them,

NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
BY d. ACTLEY.

Prior to the year 1916, the territory
comprised within the present limits Of
jackson county, was part Of Ross coun-
ty. The act organizing Jackson county
was passed by the Ohio Legislature on
the 18th day Of January, 1916. An act
Of Congress provided that the Ohio Leg
islature might select one section, of not
more than six hundred and forty acres,
in any part of the six miles square re-
served for the benefit Of the State, at the
Scioto Salt Springs in said county OF
Jackson. A patent was to be granted by
the President of the United States for
persons as the Legislature should ap-
point. A Director was to be appointed
by joint resolution Of both Houses Of
the General Assembly, and commission
ed by the Governor. After selecting
site for a seat Of Justice, it was his duty
to lay off one-half of said section into
suitable number of In and Out-lots, at
the place selected, and when sold, to de
posit plat in the office of the Secretary
of State, and the Governor was to certify
the same to the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office of the United States,
and procure patent for said section, in
the name of said Director, and his sue
cessors in office, in trust, who should
make conveyances to purchasers. The
half of said section of land selected as
aforesaid, as should not be laid off into
town lots agreeably to the provisions of

were sold for one hundred dollars per
acre.
The first attorneys who practicod here
were Sill, Douglass and Vinton. At a
later period were Brace, Clough, Muir
ply and johnson, the latter gentleman
still practicing law at this place.
AS already remarked, most Of the cases
in court for many years were petty State
cases, and the fines were always three,
six, twelve or fifteen dollars. Fines oi
five, ten, or twenty dollars, as at the
present day, were never assessed

The Republicans in the Ohio Senate
elected an able bodied negro over a Grip
pied soldier, last week. The following
day their associates in the House
followed their example, and defeated an
inmate Of the Soldiers Home, at Dayton
a cripple and a Republican, electing a
black man over him; the Democratic
members supported the soldier The
hollowness of the professions of love for
soldiers, on the part of Republican lead
ers, was exposed.-[ Portsmouth Times.
Again we call upon James w. New
man, editor of the Times, to answer
whether he, as Senator from this district,
did not vote against the soldiers at the
Home at Dayton, having the right to
voter Did not every Democrat in the
Ohio Senate vote with your Now, no
dodging.'
Now look at the arrant hypocrisy Of
this man Newman, and ali his tribe of
copperheads. Their party is responsible
for the condition of every crippled SOL
dier; and these copperheads refused to
vote for soldiers having the right to vote
while they were in the army. Yet they
have the internal impudence to pretend
to favor the soldiers whom they manned
for life.

Senator John Sherman has written a
letter in favor OF Gov. Hayes as the Re
publican candidate for President. In
this letter he says many things which
are true, and which should be consider
ed, as, for instance:
The election Of Democratic President
means a restoration TO full power in the
Government Of the worst elements Of the
rebel Confederacy.
The Southern States are to be organ
ized, by violence and intimidation, into
a compact political power, only needing
a small fragment OF Northern States TO
give il absolute control, where, by a ma
jority rule Of the party. it will govern the
country as il did in the times Of Pierce
and Buchanan.
If it should elect a President, and both
Houses OF Congress, the Constitutional
Amendments would be disregarded, the
freedmen would be nominally citizens.
but really slaves; innumerable claims
swollen by perjury would be saddled up
on the Treasury; our public credit would
be impaired the power Of the general
Government would be crippled, and the
honors won to our people in subduing re-
bellion would be subjects Of reproach
rather than pride. The only safeguard
from these evils is the election Of Re.
publican President, and the adoption OF
a liberal Republican policy which should
be fair and even generous to the South,
but firm in tie maintenance Of all the
/ rights won by the war. Our election in
Ohio last fall, shows that even under the
most adverse circumstances we can win
on this basis.
Every movement made by this Demo
cratic House of Representatives is an ap.
peal to every man who ever voted with
the Republican party To rally TO its sup
/ port again, and TO every man who fought
In the Union army to vote with Us h

They are disposing of murderers in a
summary manner in West Virginia. We
mentioned some time ago that drunk
man had been murdered near Charleston.
The murderers were arrested, and their
trial was about to commence, when a mob
took them out and hung them. Their
names were Dawson and Estept A white
man named Hines brutally murdered a
negro named Dooley, cutting him with
knife. This was done the day before the
hanging of Dawson and Estept. A mob
of negroes took Hines from Jail and hung
him at the same time time and place
Near Barboursville, West Virginia, a
colored man named Williams, became
too intimate with the wife Of a German
named Meilin. The wife made several
attempts to poison her husband, and f.
nally she and Williams killed him with
an ak, and buried him in the stable.
Williams was taken from Jail by a mob
and hung The mob voted to hang the
woman, but no one would put the rope
around her neck, and she was taken back
to Jail.

BREAD. OR WHISKY.

The Portsmouth Times was 30 anxious
to hear Of n bloody riot in Ironton. that
it sent a special reporter 10 that place
lie writes long letter about what he

third Of this class have no corn Of any
kind, and the living issue with them Is
not whether they can get honest money,
but honest bread for their wives and
children.
Let us examine for a moment this talk
about corn and bread. Last summer the
high waters on the Scioto river destroyed
many thousands Of bushels Of corn. This
was regarded as a great public. as well as
private calamity. But we frequently see
statements that James Emmitt aud
George Davis. both on the scioto. mash
from 500 to 1000 bushels Of corn each
day to make whisky This whisky is the
cause Of nearly all the poverty in Iron.

men prefer TO take their corn in the
shape OF whisky we have no objection
but We do not want TO hear this eternA
whining about the poverty and wanI
which men are so eager TO bring upor
themselves.
Let us zee. suppose that tho Ports
mouth Times had aided the women IL
their prayers, and men had quit drinking
whisky. Fifteen hundred bushels o
corn destroyed At these two distillcriou
every day Tor year. would make breas
one year for thirty-seven thousand fv,
hundred persons. IL would give brea'

drink this whisky. ard thus become una

bread. but meat and clothing for them
selves and families. Instead Of mob
threatning TO break into store house
and steal provisions. suppose they thro'

NJ. D. Conway, who has been all over
the country lecturing on the Devil, is
needed in West Virginia The old fel-
low (the DeviD is loose there. We speak
in another place of the work of mobs at
Charleston and Barboursville; and now
comes the West Columbia Monitor, and
tells about two men out in the country
at some kind Of picnic, who got into a
fight about some trihe, and used knives,
clubs and pistols; but from sheer awk-
wardness, neither of them was killed.
This was the most unfortunate part of
the whole transaction.

Some one wrote communication to
the lronton Democrat, and among other
things said:
am willing to work when there is
anything to do, but / am not going to
starve while there ic store houses filed
with food, nor will beg; and the same
will apply to good many others.
The fellow is rather defective in his
grammar, but that he is thief and bur
glar, he is willing to admit. He has ta-
ken lessons from old Bill, who Dragged
all over the State that he pardoned a
forger out of the Penitentiary and sent
him back to Portsmouth with the admo-
milton that it is very wrong to commit
forgery and theft, not to do so any more
If he could avoid it-but--in no event
to starve.
If that Ironton chap breaks into some
of these store houses which sis filled with
food" and he gets into the Penitentiary,
he will not find roaring old Bill with
with power to turn him loose.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature is getting in some
pretty good work. The Geghan law has
been repealed. l. T. Monahan's fool

prices for legal advertisements, has

We notice that the Republican major
ity are cutting off good deal of the reb-
Ell yell Of the Democracy, by moving and
sustaining the previous question. This
is right The Democrats, if permitted,
would run the session until corn plant
ing time, and then charge it all on the
Republican majority. Already their pa.
pers are beginning to howl about the
length Of the session, and the small
amount of work accomplished. Mem
bers of the Legislature must remember
that their body costs the people of the
State more than a thousand dollars every
day. If this Legislature remain in ses
sion ninety to one hundred days, it viii

The following appeared in the last
number OF. the Logan Sentinel:
The editor of the Jackson Standard
thinks we are something of a Knownoth-
ing in this, that we do not know the ne
groes are white mems equals. We con-
fess we did know nothing heretofore of
Bro. Mackley's standing. 1t is some
thing to know that he regards himself as
the equal of the negro. As long as he
feels proud of this, and boasts of it, he
will make very fair average Republican
editor.
And also the following:
Hon. John L. Vance, Senator from
this district, will accept our thanks for
f-vois.
We wish the editor of the Sentinel was
the equal of the most ignorant negroes,
and then he would not make such an
exhibition of himself We do not sup

There was a bloody attempt to commit
murder at the saloon of one Christ.
Schimpp, in Cincinnati, last Sunday
Schimpp caught little boy who was
playing in front of his doggery, and
threw him into the river This led to a
general fight among the drunken crowd,
and one man was shot, and several badly
hurt. The officers had trouble in arrest
ing them. The Gazette says:
Schimpp has been keeping that saloon
less than three years, and during that
time has shot and seriously wounded
four men besides Ritz. Tie has usually
escaped punishment by compromise with
his victims, but he will hardly escape by
that process this time.
