State school Commissioner.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
Among the important officers to
be elected this fall, is that of School
Commissioner. Heretofore the nom
nation has been given on the Repub-
lican ticket to some teacher In the
Northern part of the State. Generally
these men have been more interest
ed in the city schools than in those
Of the country districts. This fall
we should like to see a man nOmina-
ted who has the interest of the coun-
try schools at heart, and is posted as
to their wants. The friends of Su-
perintendent H. S. DOggett, of Hills
boro, have suggested him as the man
for the place. The Highland News,
of HillsbOro, indOrses the sUgges-
ton as follows in this weeks paper &:
"a Coon SUeeEsT1oS.-A correspondent to the
Cincinnati Gazette, ON last Saturday, writing from
Highland, suggests the nomination Of H. s. Dog
Eett of this place. on the Republican ticket, for
State School Commissioner this fall We heartily
endorse the suggestion Mr.. DOg-ett is man
of high pro essiOnal attaiuments, excellent exeCu-
tive ability extensive general literary culture, and
if elected would do honor 10 the position and to
his native county
We may say, also, that Mr.. Dog
gett has the advantage of location,
as this part of the State has never
had a candidate on the State ticket.
Let us nominate him.
Cincinnati, May q, 1877.
Prof. H. S. Doggett, of Highland
county, is quite prominently named
in connection with the Republican
nomination for Commissioner Of
Schools in this State. The testimo-
Dy of those who are acquainted with
him as a scholar and educator, is
very strongly in his favor He viii
will be warmly supported for that
position by the friends of Public
School education in Southern Ohio.

Correspondence of the News,
Letter from Missouri.

UNION HTAEt Mo- May IL
DEAR NEWS The most important topic with
us for the last four weeks has been the weather,
which has been very unfavorabe for farm work, in
consequence of the continued heavy rains. No
plowiug could be done during that time. How
ever, some were fortunate enough to have their
planting done.
The weather has been fine for a few days past,
and the work of preparing for planting is being
pushed forward vigorously, and the acreage of
corn planted will be unusually large.
In all the wheat-growing districts the prospect is
universally good, better than has been known for
years.
Apples aud small fruit will be abundant every
where. The peach crop will be very light. Every
thing looks encouraging since the clouds have dis
persed, and we have the genial sunshine to bies-
and brighten the earth.
Union Star is a small Country village, consisting
of hotel, postofice, two stores, two blacksmith
shops, drug store and not more than half dozen
dwelling houses, which comFletes the sum total.
Although small, its inhabitants are enterprising,
and the surroundings are such that it certainly will
become prosperous village having a rich and fer
tile country surrounding it, where large farms are
cultivated, owned by wealthy men from different
States, who have located In this part of the Platts
purchase, which on account OF its fertility Is
generally styled ''ths garden spot of Missouri"
Thsre has been quite an effort on the part of the
people to get narrow gauge L. r. running from St..
Joseph to Albany, Gentry city, but they have not
accomplished anything yet A L R. is greatly
needed, as the only means of transportation is by
teams bat the people have become ST. accustomed
to that mode, they consider it q small matter.
read with deep Interest the articles in your
columns in regard to the great Temperance reform
now going forward in the different parts of Ohio.
I hope it may spread and increase till it sweeps
over all this great republic, and until the demon Of
IntemTerance shall be banished from the earth.

A Question of "Veracfty.'

- quo LiOIl Ol UGt q CsAys
The C. C. must look sharp, or ht
will injure our reputation for veraci
ty.-T THillsboro News.
Is it so, that you, a Republican
Hayes -Bradley-editor, do possess
any of that commodity to lose OF
even sell or give away ''Injurt
your reputation for veracity." How
funny that souuds.- Brown Co
News, Dem.)
In the same number of the Brown
Co. News, in which the above para
graph appeared we find an editorial
which says:
SHERMAN is doing this III view oI
being fully prepared for specie pay
ment Ivy 1879 He proposes TO hare
aJo,d all the greenJdcE8 arithdra1rn
md burnt mp By that time, and hare
no p0pcr ia ciy'cuIatj0n Sace that oJ
the National Bank. Thus he plays
into the hands ofboth the bondhold-
ing and Banker classes, and adds
millions upon millions to the actual
expense of the people by way Of in
terest."
Now what are we to think of the
"veracity" of an editor who thus viii
fully attempts to deceive his readers
in regard to the financial policy Of
the Government? Bro. Leeds GER
tainly knows, (for he cannot be ig-
norant of fact so familiar to all
well informed readers) that the law
for the resumption of specie pay
ments, passed Jan. IA, 1875, express
Iy provides that the amount of legal
tenders, in circulation, shall not be
reduced 6eJo,o the sum Of three hatn-
dred millions Of dollars.
Yet he boldly tells his readers that
Secretary Sherman intends to have
''about all the greenbacks withdrawn
and burned up" by the 1st of Janu
ary, 1879! But this is not all In
the same issue of his paper he has
another editorial, commencing in
this fashion;
Suppose Sherman should sue
ceed, as he designs to do, IN retiring
the outstanding S35O,OOO,OOO green
backs by the first Of January, 187 9,
and placing In their stead his four
and a half per cent. bonds ?
Wouldn't that be a nice thing for
the money power, the bond holders
and Bankers p
It strikes US that a Democratic edi-
tor who so recklessly violates truth,
and makes such palpable misstate-
ments in regard to the financial pol
icy Of the Administration, should be
a little careful how he twits his Re
publican cotemporaries with want of
"veracity." To borrow his own face
tious expression, it sounds a little
too ''funny" that's all

The Murphy Movement in
Wilmington.

The Wilmington Journal of last
week, under the heading Of "The Ice
Broken-A General Rally to the Tenn
perance Standard'-says that for sew
eral weeks but little success attended
the Murphy Temperance movement
in Wilmington. Finally the Com
mittee determined to invite Mr. u
ric Sloane, of this place, and the
Journal thus relates what follows:
The announcement of his com
ing brought out a crowded house at
the Friends Church. Mr. Amos
Hockett presided at the meeting,
and, after introducing Mr. Sloane,
the latter proceeded to give afew rea-
sons why men should sign the
pledge. He spoke for an hour and
a quarter, and his effort was a re
markable one. At times he would
grow grandly eloquent, and then
would reason with his hearers IN a
manner that would have been q cred
it to a man much older than him
self The speech was by far the f.
nest we have had in this communi-
ty for many months, and the man
ner of its delivery made all our peo
pie receive it '.in good, honest
hearts. Every effort was made to
induce Mr.. Sloane to remain IN Viii
mington until Saturday night, but
he told those in charge of temper
ance matters here that if they ex-
pected to be successful they must
go to work. Foreign aid, he said,
could not do much good. On Sat
urday night a meeting was held, and,
although the audience was somewhat
discouraged, the break was made,
and victory assured. About thirty
signed the pledge on that evening,
many of them being members Of the
bar Of our village. On Sabbath eve
ming another meeting was held, and
one hundred and thirty affixed their
signatures to the pledge. The rally
on that occasion was almost general.
Last Monday night another outpOur-
ing of new Murphy boys was report
ed, and last night the same result
was realized Thus the good work
goes forward, and before the end of
the present week it is to be hoped
that every man, woman and child in
Wilmington will be enrolled in the
temperance army.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette says: "But
whatever may happen in the South
now, the President declared, "the
Republican party cannot be held re-
sponsible for it. The South is
now in the hands of the Democrats,
and that party must be alone re-
sponsible to theintelIigent opinion of
the country for the conduct of pub
lie affairs" The President very
earnestly, and almost in these words,
said be had always been a Republi-
can, and that the Republican party
was never more necessary to the ma
ton than it is to-day. THAT party,
the President, according to this gen
tleman, said, sis good enough for
me, and by it I intend to stand.
We copy this for the benefit of Re
pubicans who could have managed
the Louisiana and South Carolina
problem better than Hayes has.

Correct.

No one can have aUght to say
against the temperance movement
now in progress in parts Of this
State and Pennsylvania. Indeed,
every one must wish that SO salUtary
a reform will spread. If hard drink
ers see the folly and the danger Of
their habits, and abandon them, that
is a step in the right direction. They
may, in many cases, return to their
evil courses, but q short experience
of sobriety is O good thing for men
who have been accustomed to keep
themselves about half seas over from
one year s end to another. The new
temperance movement deserves com
mendation because it seems destl-
tute of cant and is started, not
by philanthropists, but by the tip
piers themselves, who are banding
together to keep sober, a resolution
which all men might well take, and
stick to it, too. If they all do so,
they will find that after all there IS
much more fun to be got with a
clear head than with one fuddled
with rum.

PAULDISG, O., June ,, 1871.
DEAR NEWS We have had fine Spring weather,
with but little rain since the snow melted Off and
farmers are generally done planting corn. It is
supposed there is larger acreage planted this
Spring than ever before in the history of Paulding
county, and farmers are jubisnt over the prospect
of crops.
The prospect is good, so far as we have seen and
heard, for at least an average Wheat crop. Oats
and grass are looking well, though a little too dry
for them.
There will be an abundance of small fruits and
pears. Apples will be a short crop.
Among the important improvements in our town
is a new Crist mill, now in running order ard doing
good work Also a chair factory, which is doing
a lively business in that line.
We arc expecting soon to see the locomotive
come snorting into the town, as they are already
at work building short line to iutersect the TW. &
W R. r. at C, Gil Station. understand that the en-
ginc, freight and passenger cars have recently
been purchased and roriiDn of the iron delivered
at Cecil.
Immediately following the r. r. VIII be stave
factories and others, set up here for the disposal
Of our heavy timber, so that farmers, while clear
ing their land, can get paid for it.
W e nave nNu COnSlQeTaDe religious excitement
in this place recently, which resulted in many, and
among them some of our most prominent citizens,
identifying themselves with the church. This
seemed to prepare the way for the great Murphy
Temperance movement, which was commenced
here near three weeks ago, and has been attended
with wonderful success. About s25 have signed
the pledge, and still the work goes on.
God does indeed work, and no man can hinder,
and in this movement we can but recognize the
hand of God, moving the people to action, and
drawing the Incorporate almost irresistibly to en-
list under the Temperance banner. Adopting the
sentiment of the motto, "God helping" them,
they are shaking off the fetters that bound them
and declaring themselves free men!
We perhaps shall never know till eternity re-
veals it, the grand results of this movement, but
resting 8Gsured that God will take care of the re-
suits, let US, as Christians, by word, by deed, by
every means in our power, induce those who have
taken the pledge to keep it and others to sign It.
Welo7c the motto of the Murphy pledge. God
is in every word Of it, and long as we recognize
that fact, look away from self, and look to Him
for results, so long will the movement be a sue
cess, our efforts will be crowned with victory,
man be reclaimed, redeemed, and God be glorifed.
Yours respectfully, EAuGRANT.

The Highland County Agricultural
and Stock Association, last Saturday,
bought the old Fair grounds and
improvements for $4,000. The
grounds contain about 20 acres,
which makes the price paid about
$3.50 per acre. The Association has
also secured the privilege of buy,
ing from 4 to 6 acres, lying immedi.
ately north of the present grounds,
at the rate of 5000 an acre, on one,
two and three years time. This ad-
dition will enable the Directors to
enlarge their driving track, and
make room for additional stalls fo1
horses, cattle, &c. The purchase Of
he old grounds is generally approved
by our citizens, as well as the stock
holders of the Association.
The grounds will be enlarged and
put in complete order, the new driv
ing track, and other necessary i'm
provements made, during the sum
mer, so as to have everything ready

Governor Young has written a
letter declining to be a candidate for
Governor before the Republican
State Convention. He says he is
not impeIled to this course by "any
want of confidence in the success of
the Republican party in the coming

vate and professional business needs
his whole attention, and because 'the

Encoura eing.

Here is another Southern Demo
cratic paper, which takes the right
view of the duty of the Southern
people, in view Of the conciiatOry
policy of President Hayes. Itfully
recognizes the obligation Of the peO-
pie Of the South to prove by their
acts that they are worthy of the con
fdence the President has reposed in
them:
The good name and prosperity of
the whole South, as well as of the
Democratic party, depend upon the
speedy and complete suppression of
all violence and disorder. The Pres
ident's Southern policy is both wise
and Just, and we of the South should
boldly and brayely hold up his hands,
and thereby prove to the world that
we are abundantly competent to sus-
tain home government. The Presi-
dent 'has been accused Of criminal
recklessness in turning over the
whole South to a people lately in re
volt. This fact should not be lost
sight of by our law-abiding people,
and we should unite as one man in
bringing all offenders against the
public peace, to speedy and severe
punishment. By so doing we viii
not only sustain the Presidents
Southern policy, but prove to all
men our real advancement in that
high order of civilization, which
alone can exalt a nation. All pro
scriptioD, violence and blOodshed
must be forever discontinued. Yes,
must is the word. Let the era of
good feeling be full and perfect.
WheL this is accomplished, the
weary complaints against our sunny
South will be ended, and a tide Of
prosperity will flow over the land,
which will cause our fields and gard
ems to bud and blossom as the
ose.-r Pensacola (Florida) Herald.

The origin of the great Murphy
temperance movement is stated in
the newspapers to have been as fol
lows: Francis Murphy, the origin
ator, was at one time @ hotel keeper
in Portland, Maine, and, as was the
custom, kept a bar connected there
with. On a certain occasion a man
came in who was under the influence
of liquor, and began to disturb the
house with rough language, SO that
it was necessary for the proprietor
to eject him from the premises. In
so doing he knocked the inebriate
down, inficting such wounds as to
cause his death. Murphy was tried,
convicted for the crime and sen
fenced to the penitentiary, but after
ward reprievod. In the meantime
he repented of his evil ways, and re
solved to work for the. cause of tenn
perance on the plan now almost
universally accepted.
