NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
BY D. NACKLEY.

All that region of country from the
town of Jackson north, for three to FIVE
miles, has at least four distinct and sep
arate veins Of coal, from 30 to so inches
each, in thickness. First there is the
shaft vein, then the Petrea vein, then
the Anthony vein, and then the hill vein
from which nearly all the coal used in
town is taken. In addition to this is the
How vein, but it lies so near the tops of
the hills that it does not amount to much
Without this, there is from II to Is feet
Of workable coal in the four veins, and
this embraces several square miles of
territory.
/ think enough Is already known to
warrant me in saying that at least one
half of Jackson county contains a four
feet vein of coal. 1t is a very simple
matter of calculation to estimate the
value of this coal At the very lowest
estimate, this coal is worth, in the ground,
about two thousand dollars per acre. In
one-half of the county there are 200
This will give l2s,0O0 acres in half the
county. One hundred and twenty ight
thousand acres of coal, at two thousan d
dollars per acre, would be worth two
hundred and fifty-six million dollars
Let it be remembered that this estimate
is based upon the value of the coal in
the ground, at only one cent per bushel.
The cost of digging and hauling to the
cars may fairly be set down at four cents
additional, or five cents delivered on the
cars. This would give the value of the
coal, by the time it is ready for transpor-
tation, at over one thousand million dol
lars
In former number | spoke of the
great value of the iron ore in this county.
The limestone is also abundant and val.
liable in several parts of the county.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

The next Republican State Convention
will be held in the City of Columbus, on

vention to be held in the City of Cincin-
natl on the l4th Of June. The Delega-
tion from each Congressional District
will also come prepared to announce or
select two Delegates and two Alternates
to that Convention.
We recommend that the meetings in
the several counties for the selection of
Delegates to the State Convention be
held on Saturday, March 18th. 1876, and
that efforts be made to secure large at
tendance at these meetings. so that the
people shall be fairly represented in the
State Convention.
The basis of representation in the Con-
vention will be one delegate for every
four hundred votes cast for General R.
B. Hayes for Governor in 1875 and one
additional delegate for any fraction of
two hundred votes and upwards in each
county.
All voters. without regard to past party
affiliations, who desire the success of the
principles of the Republican organization,
are cordially invited to join in electing
Delegates TO this Convention.
(Here follows list of delegates to
which each county is entitled, jackson
county being entitled to 6. The entire
convention will consist of $50 delegates }

Chairman Republican Central Committee.

The Vinton Record is not inclined to
admit that Congressman Vance ''squeal-
ed" 1t says:
The Gallipolis Bulletin in answer to
the question put by the Jackson STAND
ARD says:
"In the absence of Col. Vance, belIev-
ing we know whereof we speak, we most
unequivocally assert that he never prom
ised to assist in rebuilding the car-works
at Zaleski, and that he never subscribed
three hundred dollars, or any other sum,
towards the same"
This simple denial will not do. We
reassert and can prove that Col. Vance
did promise to give as much money to
the rebuilding of the car-shops at Zales-
XII. as Mr.. Bundy. Our authority is Err
nest Fisher. Treasurer, and other leading
citizens of Zaleski
But notice how cautious the coon Of
the Bulletin is. He has left one hole to
crawl out of. He says, "In the absence
of Col Vance believing" etc. Col.
Vance knows that these charges have
been brought against him; but he never
dared to deny them. Col Vance was
around here when the subject was first
agitated, but never a word came from his
lips or his pen. We believe nothing
about it. We are cognizant of the facts.

If anything were needed to absolve the
Republican party for responsibility for
Belknap, additional to his criminal pros
ceution at the instance Of the President,
his betrayal Of party trust, and the
prompt and unequivocal censure he has
received from the Republican press. il
would be found in the fact that up to the
time OF his appointment as Secretary of
War he had never been identified with
the Republican organization. Prior to
the war he was a straight Democrat, and
as such was elected to the Iowa Legisla-
ture. During the war he was known as
War Democrat, and not as n Republi-
can. After the war he was still Demo
cratic in his political proclivities, and
when the johnson detection arose re-
ceiyed as a johnson man an appointment
as Collector of Internal Revenue. His
Republicanism is of comparatively recent
date, and does not fix upon the party
that responsibility for his individual acts
which might be plausibly though unfair
ly reasoned out from life long identity
with its organization and cooperation in
its measures - Columbus journal.

President Grant last week appointed
Hon. Alphonso Taft Secretary of War, in
place of w. W. Belknap, ard Judge Taft
has accepted. The appointments of Judge
Taft will be approved by the entire peo
pie Of this country, irrespective of party.
Judge Taft is a man of universally adj
mitted ability, honesty and integrity. If
men of like character and ability had
been appointed to high office by Presi-
dent Grant in all cases, the Republican
party would be much less embarrassed

Even then rumors, whether we'll or i'll
founded, were rife as to his connection
with whisky rings, but none of these
reached Washington. When, by the
death Of the lamented Secretary Rawlins,
the President lost one of the most saga
cious of his Cabinet advisors and the ma
ton the services of one of the aplest and
purest of men, Gen. Belknap was ap-
pointed his successor, without any con
sultation with leading Republicans of
Iowa or elsewhere. The selection OF
Gen. Belknap, a Democrat, caused a
good deal of ill-feeling in Republican cir
cles at the time, and was met with no
friendly camment. But the anger of the
Republicans wore off in time, and they
became reconciled to this eccentric ap-
pointment by the report and brilliant
record he had made in the war and the
considerable ability he was said to pos
sess. Up to that time Belknap had con
tinued Democrat, although a War-D Dem
ocrat, and there is no evidence that at
any time since he has voted the Republi-
can ticket or changed his political prin-
ciples. As il now appears, he began by
betraying the confidence of the Republ-
can President, and was active chiefly as
a bribe-taker, continuing IS such until
