LOUIS ADOLPHE THEIRS.

The death of this iIlustrious person
transpired last Monday, and since that
sad event all France has been in tears.
The great statesman and eI President
was in the eighty first year of his age,
and had filed more positions of trust
and honor during his life probably
than any other man in that country
has ever done, and none can point out
a single blemish in his character or
life. What record to leave behind
one is this.

THE SITUATIUN

It is with Geep regret that we fee
called upon to withhold one name from
the Republican Senatorial Ticket
that of Mr. Earl w. Merry until sucl
time when a satisfactory explanation
shall be given, by those who placed
themselves in a position to be able tc
explain, that Mr.. Merry was duly an6
honorably nominated.
We call for this explain lion III be
half of the Republican party of the
district, of Wood COZ ity, and especial
ly the constituents of fourteen dele
gates from Wood county who, it i:
claimed at no time authorized theiI
vote to be counted for Mr Merry.

remarks from the Toledo Ecening Il

nomination was made, which we b

it is only from this conviction that VI

Mr.. E. V. smalley, of the New York
Tribune, who has recently made an ex-
tended tour in the South, gives the follow
ing result of his observations SIT may
well be doubted, if on the whole the
negroes are making any substantial pro-
gress. They are in the best condition in
sections where the whites predominate,
while in regions where the black popula-
ton is proportionslly heaviest they are
barely one remove from African barbarsm.
They speak the English language, and
profess religion that is nominally
Christian, but in their ways of living they
are essentially barbarians still. To give
them political ascendency over the whites
was the most horribly grotesque expert
ment ever tried in the science Of govern
ment. The only hope of their getting
forward in the path of civilization, With
anything like rapidity. lies in the prospect
that the tide OF emigration will soon b.
detecting from the West to the South, and
the whites thus reinforced. by large nun.
bers of settlers from the Northern Statet
and Europe, will become as dominant in
numbers as they now are in intelligence
The negro appears capable of originating
and developing no fruits of civilization
from his own nature-the white man mus
row the seed"

PHILADKLpHIA, July 20.--h the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company officials have
any misgivings concerning the strike in
the western. .part..of the State, they, at least,
keep stiff upper lip. Various heads OF
departments whose views upon the situa-
ton have been sought to-day declare that
the company il in no wise concerned, that
order will very soon BIO re-established, and
that the only parties to suffer Will be the
reckless, not to say criminal, strikers
themselves. This is in its way assuring,
and people are well inclined to believe that
a corporation of the wealth andimportance
of the Pennsylvania railroad cannot
remain long at the mercy Of mob, but OF
the same time we all know that II the
strikers are punished ever so decinvely,
other people will still suffer. and seriously.
A freight blockade cannot fail to have
painful effects, for not only do losses
occur through detention, but shippers will
decline to buy and forward goods,
and thus many lines of business
will be injured. 1t is an. utterly
shameful state of affairs and nothing
seems to be 80 much needed az the max.

of various ringleaders among the mob.

The announcement that Yale College
had conferred the degree of A. NJ. upon
Artemas Martin, of Erie, set the Qmid
nunes of that town to inquiring if such a
person really dwelt there. The result of
the search is new illustration of the text
that "a prophet is not without honor save
in his own country and among his own kin
and in his own house." Mr.. Martin was
discovered to be market gardener living
on farm near the city of Erie, through
the streets of which he sells vegetables
twice week. Besides his occupation as
a farmer it was found that he was regu-
lar contributor to some of the best known
foreign and American educational publica-
tions-among them the Educational
Times, of London, England At hit

library of several hundred volumes. HI
