Senator Wallace's bill to provide a long
bond bearing four per cent interest, for the in
vestment of savings, is worthy of careful con-
sderation. Such bond, if made accessible
10 the general public, issued in denOmina-
tions as low as $50, aud sold for the green
back equivalent Of par in gold, would no
doubt be eagerly taken by people who have
lost faith in savings banks and in all forms
of corporate securities.

Mukhtar at Deve-BOyun OH Monday.
Forced, after ten hours fighting, from
the strong position he held on the

tire on Erzerum. But finding no doubt, that
he could not hold that city very long against
the invaders, and that his communications with
Trebizond were threatened by the Russian de-
tachment advancing from 0lti, he deemed it
best to abandon the Armenian capital, and
save the remnant of his forces by retTeatng

Who is the Know Nothing.

The Beilefontaine Examiner. pub
lished al the home of William Ii.
West, the Republican candidate for
Governor, furnishes thi little scrap of
history which it may be well for those
Radical editors and politicians who
are charging Democratic candidates
with being Know-Nothings, 10 read
and ponder:
KNOW NOTHING WEST.
When the baleful blight of Know
Nothingism came upon the country in
1854, We, III connection with our late
brother. VIM. Hubbard, were publish
ing Wing paper in this place-the
old Logan Gdzette. The Wing party
then the majority party of the
. cOunty-was. with few honorable
exceptions, utterly swallowed up in
the furious crusade against our foreign
and Catholic population, and the feel.
ing against the Gazette, on account Oi
its dcnunciation OF the vile Order.ansi
its devotion to the principles of equs'
rights and religious liberty, became SO
| fierce aud vengeiul ihGt we were com.
PEELED to sell our Office to save our
selves from the business ruin with
which the miserable and prOscriptivc
bigots threatened us.
To whom, as representatives of this
new political dispcnsation of bigOtry
and hate, did we sell? Who had
sworn-with one hand on the Holy
Bible and the other raised to Heaven
never to vote for foreigner or
Catholic for any office in the gift OF
the American people-who, we ask,
had sworn this midnight oath, that
they were fitted for purchasers of our
paper in this emergency, and for the
vile business which the purchase i'm
piled?
Messrs. James Walker and William
ii. West were the individuals! And
by this transfer to them the old Whig
Gazette, without a stain upon its name
was prostituted to the uses of pro-
scription and bigotry, with "Walker
N West" as editors.
Since Mr.. West, of this quOndam
editorial firm has become the candi-
date for Governor of party that is
accusing his Democratic opponent OF
Know Nothingisn, the little scrap o!
political history is in order, and to
the point.

Hulnbug Exploded.

The Cincinnati Enquirer eXplodes
the charge that Mr.. Bishop was elected
Mayor of Cincinnati as Know Moth
ing, thus: "Mr. Bishop could not
have been member of the Know
Nothing party in 1859, for the reason
that it was dead and buried and the
Republicans had administered upon
the estate, and appropriated all the
assets as early as 1856" 1t also adds
"that if there had been any Know
Nothing party in 1859. Mr.. Bishop
couldn't have been a very rampant and
bloodthirsty member of it or Fred.
Hassaurek and other prominent Ger
mans would not have given him their
support when he ran for the mayoralty.

Our Candidate for state Treasurer.

We copy the following candid COM
plimentary notice of Anthony HoweIls,
Esq.,, the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer, from the MassiIlon
American, aRepublican paper publish
ed at the home of Mr.. HoweIIs:
1.-THE Democratic Convention ofOhio
did itself credit in nominating for the
Office of State Treasurer, Anthony
Howells, Esq, of MassiIIon, a gentle
man emiEentIy fitted to perform the
duties of the office and in every respect
worthy of confluence and support
Throughout the Tuscarawas ana NJ: =
honing Valleys he is well and favora-
bly, known, and indeed is hardly a
stranger in any of the iron and coal
producing regions of fObio. Mr.. How
ellis is one of the most substantial and
enterprising business men of MassiIlon
and his relations of a business charac-
ter extend far beyond our narrow linn
its. He Is associated with General
James Lee in the Volcano Furnace
Company, and together they control IL
number of coal mines, some of which
are the most productive in the Massii-
lon region. Mr.. HowelIs has assisted
personally in the opening and working
of some of these mines.
Mr.. Howells is a careful, calculating
honorable business man. He iIas con-
tributed largely to the development of
the mineral resources of this region.
and has been eminently successful in
his ventures. His intercourse, partic-
ularly with the hundreds of wvrkmen
which he employs, has always been of
a friendly and humane character. He
once delved in the mines, knows the
dangers and temptations to which coal
miners are exposed, and is always
ready to listen to their just demands.
He is a friend of the laboring man.
- 1t was by his own energy, perse-
verance and labor that Mr.. HOweIls
rose to the position he now occupies.
His character and business standing
are above reprOach. The large inter-
ests which he now controls, and those
he formerly controlled in Mahoning
county, are sufficient indication that /
tine Treasury of the State will be well
guarded and the funds judiciously
handled, should Mr.. HOwelis be called
On to take charge of the mOney-bags.

son, III. T.. O'Hagan, Committee:
GENTLEMEN Your official commu-
nication, of date Of July nth, inform
ing me of my nomination for the Office
of Governor by the Democratic State
Convention, is at hand. / appreciate
the high honor conferred by the DEM
Ocracy of Ohio, and, while keenly
alive to the great responsibilities l as
sumo, L trust, if elected. to be able,
under Providence, to discharge faith
fully and impartialIy the duties oi the
position. 1t is sufficient for me to say
that the principles adopted by the Con-
ventiOn have my cordial Endorsement.
They are wise and patriotic, and, if
properly executed in the adfninistra-
tion of the Government, will greatly
tend to restore confidence and prosper
ity to the country.
We are now passing through a crisis
in our commercial, if not National,
existence. Capital and labor are seek
ing to adjust their respective rights.
This adjustment will require the most
ton in action. In so far as it may de-
pend in any degree upon the action of
our State Government, L would GER
tainly do my utmost to effect it on
terms beneficial alike to the laborer
and the capitalist. The times call for
the most discreet management and
economical administration of public
affairs. The mere assertion of princi-
pies will not meet the emergency
They must be vitaliZed and energized
so as tOJestOre confidence to our finan-
cial, commercial and industrial pur-
suits.
If called by TIE people to the head
of the administration of affairs in this
State, i shall endeavor, by 4 cOnscien-
tious discharge of duty and careful
guarding of the interests of the public,
10 merit the respect and commentator
OF the people, irrespective of party.
Respectfully yours.

late labor riots another that Secretary
Sherman OF the Treasury portfolio is

policy, still another blames President
Garret and Master of transportation
