when that child must be deprived OF
! schooling that the cooking, washing,
sewing, &c., may be done, and thereby
lessen expenses-Or the sowing and
reaping of a larger harvest than usual
be accomplished, that improvements
may be made, or more land bought,
we canpot fail to see that the parent is
thoughtlessly committing an error that
has no other excuse than that of ava
riciousRess., 'Tis true, the child is to
enjoy this accumulation of wealth, but
what are the pleasures Of wealth in
com parison with the Joys emanating
from an educated mind? In truth,
wealth without education is more Of
ten q curse to the possessor than a
blessing, for the simple reason that an
uneducated mind knows not how to
appreciate and judicious1y apply the
power he holds in the possession OF his
wealth. i
And now, must we weigh our purses
in the scales of Justice, using our chill
dren's brains for weight? II so, ac-
knowledge at once that the school
room. is nuisance, and education in
anything but avarice is time lost; or
would il not be charitable, though our
purses should grow lighter, to more
often, place hired help in the kitchen
and field, that we may have the satis-
faction offeeling that we are doing all
in our power to give our children an
education, and though it may be all
they will receive, the world will be
better for them having lived in it.
'Tis true, q poor education is better
than no education at all, but what ex-
cuse have we for permitting our chill
dren. to grow up possessed of poor ed
Iucstion, while we have such opportu-
mites within our reach? While an ed
ncated heart is desirable attainment,
would it not be wise to educate the
head, also, to control and lead the af-
fections. and the two act as they were
intended, as one and iDseparable?

A Spicy Letter From Ben. Wade.

SPAcJ ActtCr CEOm Dems w taQos
CLEVELAND, May 2.-The Leader
tomorrow will contain the following
letter from the Hon. B. F. Wade;
JEFFERSON, April 80, 1877.
To The Editor of tie Leader.
L notice in your paper of to-day, two
articles relating to myself, copied from
the New York Tribune. The first pur.
ports to come from Mr.. Ward Lamon.
Of Washington, formerly Marshal of
the District, stating in substance that
sometime during Mr.. Lincoln's admin.
lstratlOn conspiracy was formed by
the Republicans in Congress, opposed
TO his administration, to depose him
rom the Presidency, and put either
fremont or myself in his place as Die.
tator; that memorandum of the com.
pact was made at the time that; a COPY
of it was in the hands Of Mr.. Chase.
and by him shown to Mr.. Lincoln.
Now, l desire to brand the above state
ment in all its parts as wilful and
malignant falsehOOd, and if Mr.. Ward
Lamon ever made such statement, as
alleged, to any one, l pronouce him q
liar. l saw the article in the Tribune,
and bad 1t related to myself alone /
should not have cOndescended to no.
tice so silly lie; but when l find it
copied into respectable journals, and as
1t duplicates many members of that
brave old Congress that carried the
United States triumphantly through
the war, most of whom are dead. i
thought such a scandal upon them
should not go uncontradicted.
The second statement in relation to
Mr.. Painter is as follows:
Mr.. Wade is credited with saying
IN explanation of his famous letter
that 1t was confidential, and was made
public by person depraved and utter
ly destitute of honor"
This IL also untrue-utterly false.
Although the letter was private, it
found its way TO the public in a man.
ner which entirely exculpates Mr..
Painter from blame, nor do I blame
him for its publication. AS it contain
ed only sentiments which stand by
now, don't regret its publication, and
IN all the criticisms In the papers and
which il has called forth
,one have as yet denied that it con-
aimed the exact truth
In vindicafiOn of Mr.. Painter, 1 will
ay that | have known him many
years, and he is as honorable man as
ever was acquainted with.
Respectfully yours, etc.,
a B. F. WADE.

Canses of the Eastern War.

we have received several requests-which
we may assume as representing the desire of
a large number of readers-that the Tribune
should recapitulate the circumstances which
have brought on the present war between
Russia aud Turkey. We shall endeavor,
therefore, to repeat the leading facts as brief
ly as is consistent with clear understanding
of the subject.
1t would be easy TO follow the example Of
some old historians and begin with the crea-
tion of man fer the deepest base upon which
all national antagonisms are built is the an
cient difference of blood and faith. But it is
enough to say that since the fall of the East
ern Empire, Russia, whose sovereign assumes
its title of Caesar (Czar), has considered Eer-
self its Legitimate heir. Through her, the
Greek Church lives and includes one-fcurth
of Christendom; and it Is the Greek, Church
which has been called upon to endure the
barbarites and indignities heaped upon it by
the triumph of the Islam. Russia's sympathy
with the Christian subjects of Turkey is thus
inevitable. No doubt she has always sought
to turn il to her political advantage; but, if
this were not possible, the sympathy would
none the less exist, for il is grounded in the
deepest faith of her people. The Crimesn
War failed, because it was deliberately forced
upon Russia by the solitary will of the En- :
peror Nicholas: the care of the holy places in
Palestine was too shallow pretext, and
aroused no national feeling. There was no
response to the movement in the provinces OF
European Turkey,-nothing which, as now
appeals to the common Russian heart. Yet,
when the war came to an end, with results
which caused its authoi s death, the whole
people gradually learned the extent Of the
national humiliation, and they have not yet
forgotten 10. - 7s s.a e a-sa n y

the battle at Kars. The center of the
Russian army, 40 600 strong, urder

Deatl, Of Hon. smith IL. Watson.

:
Our readers will be surprised and panied to
learn of the sudden death of Hon. Smith r.
Watson, of Athens township, this county,
which occurred on Monday evening, this
week, at about II o'clock. Mr.. Watson had
been in his usual health, which seemed quite
good, and was in Cadiz attending to ordinary
business on Monday forenoon. In the after
noon he was engaged in choppiDg and hauling
some heavy logs, and probably exerted
himself more than ordinarily. He had eaten
at his dinner mess of asparagus, or some
other sort of green sauce, from which he lad
suffered some discomfort during the after
noon. In the evening he went to the town of
Athens on business, distance of a mile anda
half, and while on the way found himself
growing sick. He returned home, becoming
rapidly worse, and in short time his sick
ness had developed into what the physicians
call bilious collie. His symptoms continued
TO grow worse as each honr passed by, and
nothing that medical skill could invent or the
tenderest sympathy suggest, could stay the.
progress of the disease. He died at about
eleven O'Clock at night. f +R
Mr.. Watson has been recognized for many
years as one among the leading men in Harri-
son county, in business, social and political
affairs He had e large acquaintance and was
respected by his fellow-men. He
was a member and Ruling Elder of the
United Presbyterian Church. He had been
for many years one of the Trustees of Frank
lin College. He served as member of the
Ohio Legislature during the years 1864 and
1865 His death will be universally regretted |
by the people of the county.-[Cadiz Repub- |

PRESIDENT HAYES has no sympathy with
the proposed revival of new Wing party.
He said in a recent conversation, which is re-
ported bv the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, that it is one of the last thoughts
that could occur to him to abandon the name
or principles of the Republican party, and
though the thre ltening storm, which is immi-
nent in and oat of Congress, might rage about
his course, he would never swerve from his
conviction, and that his intention and aim is
the perpetuity of that party on the line on
which so much good has already been DONE
Nothing could be further from his thoughts
thon the surrender of its name; as well might
his opponents accuse him Of wishing to sur
render its principles. The President holds II
near to his heart that the differences in the
South shall be perfectly harmonized, and that
this is a duty which he owes to the country
al large as well as to the Southern States. The
charge that be would forget the interests OF
the emancipated race would be preposterous
gives them a right to be heard Nothing
troubles him more than this. All the labors OF
the President are easy beside the burden
of being unjustly accused. He was sup
porter of the Republican party when it first.
had an existence. Even in his boyhood his
sympathy was with Garrison and Phillips on
the anti slavery platform. The idea that he
could forget for moment tn. great opportu-
nifty he has of bettering the condition Of the |
freed people of the South is so preposterous !
that be has hardly the patience 20 assure his
acsusers of their mistake

He does not expect that the policy he is pur-

that ultimately his Southern policy will have

LONDON, Sept. 8.-The accounts of
fighting ct Lovatz, sent from Bucharest
by special correspondents, turn out
pure hctions. The nine assaults Of the
Turks existed only In ROumanian
imasinatiOns. They never attacked at
oil, nor is the Russian success Of such
proportions ss reported. Lovalz 10 an
open town, In a valley, important
chiefly as covering the roads to Tro-
JAMS aud Siloi. The use the Russians
would be able to make Of the position
must depend on their driving back the
force of Turks on the Northwest Of
LoVatz, within the range of whose
guns the correspondent OF the Times
had to pass on the 9th inst, when re-
turning from Lovatz 10 Poredin. I'm.
douhtedly the capture Of Lovatz must
be regarded rather as q part Of an i'm
portant system Of operations than an
independent achievement. That this
Is the Russian view is shown by the
fact that they brought the overwhelm-
ing odds Of $4,000 against 1000, to
make success certain. This view is
further confirmed by reports of con.
tinued fighting in the direction Of Lo.
vatz and Plevna. Perhaps the Rus.
slams are trying 10 finish Osman Pasha
