In seems strongly Providential that the
International Sunday School Lesson for
Sunday last, March 4th 1877, should be the
story of Naboth's vineyard, as told in the
2lst chapter.oi lss Kings.
The truths of holy writ never grow old
in their application to the affairs OF men
and more striking illustration of this
fact could not we'll be Imagined than
the conduct of the chiefs of the Republi-
can party in regard to Louisiana and
Florida, as compared with those of Ahab
and Jezebel in their treatment of Naboth
and his vineyard. Ahab having exhaust
ed in vain his offers of gold, office and ti'
ties, and finding Naboth still true in his
obedience to the law of Moses, and the
heritage of his ancestors, went "and laid
down upon his bed AMI turned away his
face, and would eat no bread" Then
came the wicked Jezebel with her wick
ed schemes, which, with the approval OF
the King were successfully carried for
ward to their final result in the death of
Naboth and the seizure of his inherit
ance. So with the Republican party,
they coveted the Democratic inheritance
of Florida and Louisiana. To secure it
they offered money, the bribes of office,
and the terror ofthe army, but al in vain,
and the result was that in the early
morning hours of November 8, they went
to bed as sad as Ahab. Then came Jeze-
bel in the person of Zachariah Chandler,
and said; "Dost thou now govern the
Kingdom of Israeli Arise and eat bread
and let thine heart be merry" II will
give thee the vineyard Of Naboth, the
Jezrelite."
80 she wrote letters in Ahab's name,
and sealed them with his seal, and sent
the letters land telegrams) unto the eld-
ers kellogg and Packard and to the no.
bles q. Madison Wells and the other
members of the Returning Board) that
were in his city, dwelling with Naboth."
"And the men of the city (of New Or
leans), even the elders and the mobiles
did as Jezebel had sent unto them"
"The sons of Belial witnessed against
him (by forced affidavits conCocted at the
Custom House, and they carried him
forth out of the city, and stoned him with
stones, that he died."
"And it came to pass when Jezebel
heard that Naboth was stoned, and was
dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab (by spec
ial telegram to Columbus, Ohio, Arise,
take possession of the vineyard of Naboth
the Jezreelite, which he refused to give
thee for money; for Naboth is not alive,
but dead"
Of course Ahab lost no time in taking
possession of Naboth's vineyard, and our
readers 10 doubt saw full account OF
the attending ceremonies last week.
What happened to Ahab and Jezebel
afterwardit will be wise for all to read and

by their recognized cognomens. "The

many and foul tongues,seldom conveying
''ideas" of any value, and usirg language
usually more degrading than eleyating.

TREASURER OF STATE,
CANTON, O., Feb. 20, 1877.

CANTON, w feD, 70, 1871,
To the Editor Of the Enquirer
North eastern Ohio, in our recollection
has never been honored witha candidate
on the Democratic State ticket. Stark
the fifth in the State, therefore presents
the name of George Fessier, present
County Treasurer, for the Office of Treas
urer of State, whose nomination for that
position will be urgently commended to
the next Democratic State Convention.
George, as we familiarly call him, is of
Pennsylvania German descent, of fine
personal appearance, speaks the German
fuently, is quite unassuming in manner
and has big generous heart. He will
make friends wherever he goes or in
whatever position he fills. AS test of
Mr.. Fesslers popularity, he was elected
County Treasurer in 1873 when "Moly
Stark" was in possession of the Republic
can party by majority of ], 400 and in
1875, when a candidate for reelection,
defeated the most popular Republican
that party could select 1000 votes. He
has already not only received the warm
encomiums ofthe press at home, but also
in the adjoining counties and well over
the State. The following paragraph from
the Alliance Review Republican, shows
the esteem in which Mr. Fessler is held
by his political opponents:
George Fessler, we predict, will be the
Democratic candidate for State Treasurer.
The Democratic party cannot produce a
harder man to beat, nor one to whose
election we would have less objection"
The friends of George Fessler, therefore
with his permission, present his name to
the gallant Democracy of Ohio, quite
confident he will receive such recognition
and favor as will make him their nomi-
nee for Treasurer of State.

CARL Schurz, it is said, chose to be
Secretary of the Interior. No other de-
partment offers as great a field for the
earnest reformer as this, or comes so near
home to the people, and the country will
see now how much of practical, execu-
tive abilitythis fine theorizer has. Itwould
not be surprising to discover that he
proves to be "a fish out of water" and
not as effective in the real work correct
ing abuses as the late much abused
Secretary, who couples great ability and
integrity with his rough and ready ways.

eating the Ashtabula disaster has at last
rendered a verdict. The blame is all
laid to the door of the company, with
special mention of the Culpability of the
designer and builder of the bridge, and
the engineer, whom it assumes could
have discovered the many and radical
defects Of the structure by the exercise
of proper care, and thus have guarded
against its destruction.

SPEAKER RANDALL At DOVER.

An enormous meeting greeted Speaker
Randall at Dover, New Hampshire, Sat
urday evening. He reviewed at length
the record of the Forty-fourth Congress
and contrasted the appropriations of that
Congress with the Forty-third, the pre-
ceding one, showing that the appropria-
tions for the Forty-fourth were $72,00O,-
900 less than those of the Forty-third, es-
timating the probable army appropriation
at extra session at $2O,O00,000 for force
of 10000 men, as it was likely to be. He
then spoke of the action of the Democrats
in connection with the Presidential count
asserting that the Democrats yielded only
in preference to civil war. The late re-
bellion had taken from the people many
of their constitutional rights. Another
civil war would have resulted in despot-
ism, with neighbor against neighbor, re-
lative against relatives and brother against
brother, not a sectional contest, but at
our very firesides. The eyes ofthe whole
country are on New Hampshire, and he
felt satisfied that the result of the election
would approve the wisdom of the Demo-
cratic party.
