Boiler Explosion.

COLUMBUS, o., October 3.-This morn
ing the boiler OF the engine attached to
the saw mill of Miller " Son, near Stu
dertown, Fairfield county, exploded,
making havoc of the mill and instantly
killing three young men, Peter Miller,
George Ebersole and Henry Speidel.

MIR. ARNOLD AND THE EXTRA
Session.

We observe that some of our State ex-
changes have seen at TO say ill-natured
things of Hon. w. 4. ARNOLD, in con-
aection with his advocacy of special
session of the Legislature. This is
neither kind, generous nor just. Mr.
ARNOLD has perfect right TO advocate
this measure, as he does, in the interest of
good government. He is one of our
solid citizens whose reputation as
a worker and thinker is already
we'll established; and as he pstri-
otically proposed in the outset that
the session should be held without ex-
pense to the State, it is only fair that he
shall be given credit for sincerity of pur-
pose. While we differ with Mr.. ARNOLD
on the question of the necessity or policy
of an extra session, we have cheertully
printed all he has said on the subject,
and give him full credit for patriotic and
unselfsh motives in the premises.
Nor the least of the valuable improve
ments made in our principal streets this
summer, Is the removal of the sign nuis-
snce from the side walks. Recent events
have pointed out DR.. GEORGE BAIRD as
the man to whom the public is mainly
indebted for this riddsnce,. and he is eh-
titled to vote of thanks for it. But the
public is indebted TO the Doctor
for more than thst-lt is chiefly
due to his untiring and thsnkless
lsbors that we have the widened
SIDE walks and the regarded streets.
With the widening of the sidewalks and
the removal therefrom of the stands of
decsying vegetables and unssvory-smell'
ing fish and sll other such distractions,
the pedestrian can now get along some Of
our principal squares with reasonable
degree Of comfort.

GIBBONS BATTLE.


The scene of Gen. Gibbons recen
terrible battle with tho Indians, is :
ragged defile in dip of the Bitter
Root mountains. 1t is formed by thu
junction of the Bitter Root and Biz
Hole rivers and spreads out into can
yon of perhaps twenty miles in extent
As the writer saw it two years ago. il
was one of the most savage, weird and
wild Of the mountain passes. Covered
with pines and fir, huge rocks and
boulders, the steep gorges are fitting
lair for the savage and the wild ami.
NAL. In these almost inaccessible in.
trenchments, the Nez Perces awaited
Gibbons onset. To any other com.
mander. the attack would have been
fatal. As it was, he lost nearly hall
his men. Bat there is reason to be
lieve that the Indians have been SO
crippled that their utter discontinue
is now only question of time. Glib.
bon is thoroughly convcrsant with In.
dian tactics. a large part. Of his life
has been passed upon the frontier.
For four years, he has commanded the
post of Fort Shaw in the heart of the
Nez Perces reservation, and is perhaps
more familiar with their habits and
peculiarities than any other man in
the army. Besides, he is thoroughly
impressed with the idea that frontiers
men are the most effective auxiliaries
to be used in such a warfare. Those
mountain savages are fierce, daring
and impetuous. They regard the reg
ular soldier with ill-conccaled con-
tempt. The frontiersman and the
miner are the only people they dread.
Armed and equipped like themselves,
the Montana volunteers would make
short work of the war, led by so cx-
periencel n soldier rs Gibbon. And
it is to be hoped that the government
will at least recognize this fact and
call to its aid the only men who can
fight the Nez Perces on equal terms.
The Indians are heading for the buf.
falo country through the Big Hole
valley. Crippled as they now are,
they can be easily cut of, but once
they reach the limitless plains which
extend from Milk River on the North,
to the Sweet Grass Hills and East and
West for thousands of miles, pursuit
would be hopeless. Joseph will find,
however, that Gibhon is a very differ
ent man to deal with than Howard.
The tricks that answered SO well with
he Freedmen's Bank soldier, will
prove abortive with GIbbon. He is
neither afraid or reluctant to fight.
Unless We are greatly mistaken. the
battle Of the Big Hole is the initial
of a series of victories
which will speedily bring the arrogant
Nez Perces to submissive obedience.

FEELING A WANT.

1t is evident the radicals are begin
ming to feel very seriously the loss OF
that happy era, when they could fire
the Northern heart with wonderful
stories of cruelty and oppression OF
colored men in the South. Those
blissful DAYS when an entire Northern
community could he convulsed with
the recital of the mOurnful experience
of Eliza Pinkston and Frances Thomp-
son, are Looked hack to with a linger-
ing regret almost As intense rs our
first parents are supposed to have re-
garded the fading glories of their dis
appearing Eden. These States could
he carried for the Republican party
bv a well coined lie, and subservient
armies were always ready to terrorize
their opponents. But those days are
past. n new order of things has
come upon the country. and the Radi.
cal shrieker finds, alas! that his Occu-
patton is entirely gone. No more
forcible illustration of this fact can be
found, than in the action Of the Maine
Republican Convention. 1t seemed
alike destitute of hope and purpose.
1t was impotent for attack and void in
plans. Like a snake deprived Of it:
fangs, it could only rattle and hiss.
Its expiring growl was full of rage and
disappointment.
In this and many other respects, tho
Republican party is an anomaly in
American politics. Fer years. it has
trusted to a sentiment instead of an
idea. All of its future was staked
upon preserving an antagonism be
tween the sections. 1t made finance
and political economy an incident in
stead of a principle. The future, $,
far as its purposes ard plans EXTENDED,
was wrapped up in the doctrine Of
eternal hate. To say that this was q
short-sighted policy, is needless. The
present condition Of politics demon.
strates its absurlity. 1t has long been
seen by the most sagacious leaders
and Mr.. Hayes peculiar and anomo
position-a President without a party
is owing to a vain but ambitious
effort to restore to the Republicans the
principles upon which they alone can
exist as distinct political organiza.
ton. That he has failed in his effort,
is not so much attributable to his want
of capacity for leadership, as the oppo-
sition of men whose local prominence
is dependent upon their efforts to keep
alive sectional animosity-the Blaines,
the Mortons and the Garfelds of the
party. These men forget if they ever
knew that passion and hate are rarely
transmitted from one generation to an
other; and that ideas, like men. are
changing to meet the growing needs
of the country. The desire to have
the nation prosperous and happy, is
more prevalent than the wish to crush
all b,n,;l;,ta tho South

VIRGINIA CONSERVATIVES.

Notwithstanding the evil predictions
Of the Republican pres. the Virginia
Conservative Convention has come
gloriously through its ordeal. AMI put
out a platform and candidates which
entitle it to the congratulations Of the
country. There was much in Nir-
ginia politics which might, very reas-
onably. have occaSioned dissenSiOn.
That these differences Of opinion have
been adjusted and the wounds, which.
under less rational management would
have seriously diseased the party, have
been cured. will give sincere pleasure
to every Democrat i'm the country.
The conservatives in that State have
indicated their right to the title
which their name implies. and while
doing this. they have upheld the cause
of honest government, and the liber-
ality of political opinion. While the
questions which materially interiered
with the harmony of the convention
were purely local in their character,
the entire country felt an interest in
them, and a serious antagonism OF
views might have greatly jcopardiz"d
the success of those political sentiments
which are rapidly solilifyins both the
South and the West. No community
can afford to rcpu.liate its debt, no
matter how unju<tly it has been forced
upon it. and Virginia has but adj
hered 10 prevalent determination in
the Southern States when it taciily as
serts its ability to regain its lost pros
perity, even with the burd IN Of a car
pet baggef's debt. 1t has felt perhaps
i'm greater degree than any other
State in the Union, with perhaps
the exception Of Louisiana and South
Carolina, the terrible oppression which
followed the reign Of INSCRIPTIONS ad
venturcrs, and the remorselcss legacy
of impoverished industry and ruined
credit. For years. the people have
fought this fearful nightmare. and
strove in every possible way to meet
the obligations of that grand old COM
monwealth which, whatever her mis-
fortunes. will ever remain the first and
proudest in American history. II at
times. the expressions became so grea,
that some Of its people almost dis
paired, that momentary repining will
be forgiven them, in view Of the no.
bic promise they make for the future.
Standing with bare head and un-
blanching front, she dares the fiercest
blasts Of misfortune, and proudly
true to the high memory of her an
cient days she summons to her aid the
energies and faith for which she never
appealed in vain. She will cast her
alien bondage of, but in a way that
will leave her honor stainless and her
name untarnished. Republication and
its kindred infamies have been killed
forever in Virginia.
