in this State. By order of the Governor
OF the State, a number of armed mill
tary companies are on duty in that VI
cinity, with instructions to suppress the
strikers; and, at last accounts, there was
strong probability that somebody
would get hurt before great while.
The following letter from Gov. Hayes TO
Gen. Wikof, shows that there is at least
little "spunk" about the Executive
Department. and that there is 4 disposi
ton in that quarter to make an effort
to suppress the rioters before yielding
up to them the management of affairs
generally:
DEAR GENERAL still feel that
there is doubt as TO the suficiency of
your force. Be sure to have it ample.
If you call out too many men I will be
responsible, but if you fail for want of
enough 1t will be your fault. 1t now
looks as if this trouble would last a
long time. wish you to make prepar-
ations to hold your men in camp at and
near Massillon until all danger of law
less violence is at an end. Therefore,
let your arrangements be of a more per-
manent character. Let it be under
stood that you mean to stay until law
lessness ceases, or is plainly controlla-
BILE by the civil authorities.
Sincerely yours,
r. B. HAYES.

Under date of the 9th inst, the Mas
sillon correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
"There is feverish condition of the
atmosphere here tonight, that justifies
the serious view of the situation ex-
pressed by the Governor. and accord
ingly, while the force here has proved
sufficient for past emergencies, the Adju-
tant General has summond the follow
ing companies, both of which are expect
ed to arrive tonight, viz: The San
dusky Light Guards, Captain II. Deh-
mel, and the Tiffin Light Guards, Cap
tain F. w. Shawhan. Thetwo compan-
les Will aggregate hundred men.
"The grand Jury to-day found indict
] for .t;o;not;pr ~ tho riot
the Warrington Mines against eighteen
persons named, and twenty persons
names unknown. At this interesting
juncture of affairs, when it is important
to make arrests of the indicted persons
at once. Sheriff Rauch is conspicuous for
his absence, and report places this i'm
portant person in Cleveland. No depu-
ties can be appointed in the absence of
that officer, and as only two deputies re-
| main here of the number sworn In two
weeks ago, the case is embarrassing.
Preparations are making, however. for a
night movement under protection of the
military for the purpose of capturing
the ringleaders. Apropos to the absence
of the Sheriff at time when his pres
ence here would do the most good, the
Massillon American, issued to-day, gives
hint at the true inwardness of polite
ians in this neck Of woods by an inquiry
as to the case of a load Of potatoes sent
out to the striking miners by defeated
candidate for this Office of Sheriff"

ADDRESS
To the People of Perry County.

ADDh ESS
To the People OF Perry County.
FELLOW CITIzESs:-It was given TO
Franklin to tame the electric fluid, to
Washington to march the Continental
army to victory, and TO Jefferson to EN-
balm in the Declaration and Constitu-
tion the principles Of Freedom.
Your committee would have 10 invoke
the virtues and wisdom Of all to per
form the duty assigned them with salts
faction 10 themselves, and the authori-
ties which command It's TO speak.
We call your attention to the Tooth
Anniversary of our National Existence.
The whole Nation will be largely rep
resented at Philadelphia during this
year.
This city ia the chosen place, not be-
cause it is the capital, or the most popu-
lous, or ie in Pennsylvania. II is be-
cause Of other reasons. There Inde-
pendence was first proclaimed. There
our Nation was born. There the Cont
mental Congress held its sessions. The
rights of man, the rights of the States
and the rights of the Nation we're
moulded in the forms of Law. There
our Government was organized. There
the first Bell rang out in honor of our
Natal day. There the patriotism il
found which asserts its title TO diStinc-
tion as the gathering place Of the Ma
ton in presence Of The whole world.
There is found room, and convenience,
and reminiscences,-acce ceptable to all
who appreciate the day and who prefer
to honor il rather than TO yield TO a
baser motive of selfish qualification.
We cannot all 90 there. Nine-tenths
Of us must stay at home, and here man.
ifest our appreciation of the day, in our
own style and according TO the means al
hand, and the patriotism we possess.
We are commanded by large and en-
thn=iastic meeting of citizens TO assert
the County Cele bration, and we have
no hesitancy in asserting that Somerset
occupies a similar relation to Perry
county that is sustained by Philadel-
phia to the United States.
Somerset will give more than she re.
ceives in her choice ofplace to celebrate
but she will give it with no grudding
hand or stinted measure.
Let us assemble at Somerset, not al
partisans, nor as sectarians, nor as sec
| tionalists, nor as members of this or tha
society. but as citizens of Perry county
and as Patriots, hailinR each other il
the name Of American Liberty. Let I'll

4th Of July celebration. Let that hos
pitality which provides abundance of
the earth's bounties be INDUCED, with
out money and without price.
Let the drum and fife inspire us with
national airs and the we'll appointed
battery thunder its welcome TO the day
we celebrate.
Onr inheritance is not of gold or sitlea,
but of Liberty and Freedom which shall
live through coming centuries and die
not until time grows old and perishes at
the nod Of its Almighty author. Let
us assemble at Somerset. There our
county was born. There its early Courts
of Justice convened. There our infant
csunty government was organized. There
the first bell awoke the echoes of the
surrounding forest in honor of the 4th
of July.
There, too, the memories of pioneer
life and of the shadowy past, come
trooping home to revive former recollec-
tions and cast the smile of friendly
greeting over the wrinkled face of age.
There, too, are found a patriotism,
which like that of Philadelphia, asserts
its title to precedence, and there, too, is
room, and convenience, and hearty well
come and ample hospitality to all whose
memory fingers with pride and pleasure
around the history of the olden time.
In the belief our people will do their
whole duty and prove themselves worthy
of the occasion and distinction sought,
we pledge all needed effort to make the
occasion WORTHY of the county.

DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA,

Books about the social and political
Institutions Of q country, written by q
foreigney, are usually ephemeral and
erary or phllosophic task is more diff
cult. Hardly any author, whatever his
ability or preparation, can understand
clearly, or judge impartialIy, Of gov
eminent and people differeLt from his
own. If he would please the people Of
whom he writes. he must f1atter them; if
he does nst fatter them, they reject him
az unruthful. In the former case, lie is
unjust to himself; in the latter they are
unjust to him. A remarkable exception
20 works of this kind is Tocqueville's
"Dsnocracy in America" which gained
prodigious favor from the first. Free
from the least disposition to crafty our
national selt-love, it vas cordially re-
ceived and much admired here; tor
could not help but see in how broad a
spirit the work had been conceived, and
with what strict fidelity it bad been ex-
ecu ed. Although it is forty ears since
the Democracy was published, its au-
thority and interest meantime have rath-
or increased than lessened; but its circ' G
of readers is much smaller than it has
been For the last twenty years it has
been good deal neglected in this coun-
try, while there has never been time
when its deep truth and extraordinary
prescience merit more consideration thar
since tie beginning and ending OF ON

of the republic, the work would seem tt

A Priest Dofs His Saoerdotal Robes for a
Pretty Girl.
Among the newly married couples
now sojourning in Denver, and who
occupy rooms at a leading hotel,
there is one surrounded with an air
OF mystery and sensation-and this
through no fault Of their own, as we,
are permitted to assure our readers
that It is case Of true love. The
groom was educated for Catholic
priest, and served in that sacred
office until very recent period,
while the bride is the blooming
daughter Of a wealthy Chicago mer-
chant. The acquaintance between
this couple became intimate when
the groom was acting in clerical
capacity. The girl first met him at
a fair which was being held for the
benefit Of a new stone church now
In process of erection. By all
accounts their love was mutual. At
first sight his attentions were of the
most persistent character, and it was
not long before the young priest was
the talk Of all the gossips ia the
congregation. At this time, as at
the present, the girls family was
among the best known and most
highly respected in the parish. His
calls, from being few and far between
grew more frequent, and it was not
long before he commenced to take
advantage Of the hold which his
winning ways had already got upon
the affections of the young lady. He
became her constant attendant. The
matter was brought to the notice OF
the Bishop, and resulted in removal
to another parish, At this time the
young lady was at boarding-school
at Kankakee, whittier she had been
Sent by her parents, who hoped to
wean her Of her unfortunate affection.
As shown by The sequel, their efforts
failed. Last week she left her home
and departed with the husband of
her choice for this city, where the
latter intends studying law. The
