The discipline of defeat may be whole

leaders than those of the clan of Gamer

scarcely worth while to regain it on any

do so, because the party owes its defeat
to stubborn insensibility to these con.

CHRISTIAN S. sCHRINER KMLED.-Mr. Christian
s. schriner, resident of this village for the past
four years, and for two years an employee OF JOS
snavely, in his lumber yard and planning MILL
was killed at Massillon on Wednesday evening
last about o'clock on the Pittsburgh, Ft Wayne
a. Chicago Railroad. He had been to Canton for
several days and was returning to Orrville, and II
is supposed that he fell between the cars az the
bridge over the Tuscarawas river west OF the city,
where his body was found. About twelve o'clock
on Wednesday night lot of tramps came to the
telegraph Office at Massilon and asked the opera
tor to lend them his lantern to look aftera man
that was lying up the track dead, but the opera
tor supposing it to be only an excuse Of the uamps
to get his lantern, paid no attention to their re-
quest. In the morning the body was found on
the bridge severed across the bowels, and terribly
mutilated. 1t was taken to the freight house, and
was not recognized until o'clock p. M, when H.
II. Reed Of this place arrived on the scene and
fully identified the dead man. The body Of schri'
ner had received no attention up to last night by
the Massillon authorities and there is no telling
If they would have done anything to put 1t In
decent appearing condition, had it not been for
Mr.. Reed looking after the matter, Mr.. Reed re-
turned from Massillon last night and went down
again this morning to have the body taken to Can
ton, the home of the unfortunate mans mother
for interment Mr.. schrlner has lately been
drinking pretty heavy and it is supposed that al
the time of the accident he was under the mnu'
ence Of liquor.-OTTUiRe Crescent, 9Th inst:

THE vituperative Col, Robert IngersolI,
of Illinois, lectured on Thomas Paine IN
Cleveland last Friday evening, i'll his
usual style. If Mr.. Ingersoll would ad'
opt the argumentative style and manner
of Paine, his efforts would be more ac-
ceptable to rational people. The clergy
men of Cleveland on Sunday paid their
respects to Ingersoll. Mr.. Bowling, OF
the second Baptist church, on Sunday
evening chose for his text: lst Samuel
xvI16: "Who is this uncircumcised
Philistine that he should defy the armies
of the living GodP"
We extract: "That man who, during
the past week, has been breathing the
miasma of his fetid breath over this city,
il not an honest searcher after the truth.
That man is not honest who will employ
ridicule, and for the mere purpose OF
temporary applause, will misrepresent
his opponents. Ingersoll had tried to
turn the attacks by saying he meant them
for the church of one hundred years ago,
But he really meant it for the church OF
to-day, When he says that the only
thing required of a man is that he be-
lieve in God and pay his pew rent, he
lies. When he says that the Puritans OF
one hundred years ago were only COM
pound of bigotry, malice and dyspepsia,
if he don't know it is false he ought to
be ashamed to come before an intelligent
community and make the statement.
The speaker did not deny that there are
bad men within the folds of Christianity
but the rule can't be judged by the ex-
ception. There are bad men in every
walk of life; even among the twelve
chosen followers of Christ there was a
Judas. When Gilman, in New York,
steals large amount Of money, the
world cries, "Lo Christian forger."
When a Christian statesman accepts a
bribe, the cry is christian dishonesty"
But whoever heard any one exclaim,
Behold, an inhdel forger?" WhyP Be-
cause the tendency Of infdelity is to
make men lawless and wicked, while
that of Christianity is to make them
law-abiding and kind. One of the chief
lessons to be learned from Mr.. lngersoll
is that there is no creed so narrow and SO
intolerant as the creed of the creedless."

PROFESSOR Gustavus Adolph Herman
Hirt committed suicide in New York city
last week, at the New England hotel.
The only property" left by this educated
gentleman consisted of a few ragged
clothes, a number of pawn tickets for
clothing and trinkets, and % cents in
money. Something is surely wrong in
society when a man, living in the midst
of wealth and abundance, feels Compell-
ed to hasten the work of starvation with
suicide. His father is a clergyman in
Germany, and deceased graduated with
honor at the Universities of Berlin, Jena,
Halle, and Pforta; he served in the
Franco. .Prussian war in the 3lst Prussian
infantry, and was under fire at Epernay
and before Paris, and distinguished him
self by his bravery on each occasion he
was decorated for courage and good con-
duct; who was Professor Of Latin and
Greek in the College Of Schwerm in 1874
and 1875, and was subsequently detailed
to service in the 10th infantry as instruc-
tor in the use of the new arm, the Man
ser gun, shortly after being permitted to
leave Prussia, pledging himself to re-
turn should the army be placed on war
footing; he came to the United States
and obtained employment as teacher in
the Military Institute at Granville, in
Washington county, N. Y, where he re-
mained about a year, thence coming to
New York city with a certificate of ca
pacity signed by Major W. A. Flint,
of North Granville-strange, we say, that
such man should commit suicide to es-
cape death from starvation

PARKER PILLsBURY, who has been as
thorough an abolitionist as Phillips or
Garrison, has written letter in which
he says:
The most cowardly of all was it, after
the rebel States were restored to the I'm
ion, to keep them under military control
for the pretended reason that their for
mer slaves would not be safe if left to
their care. On the showing of Republi-
cans themselves how has it been under
the policy pursued in the last five years2
So far, do not more admire President
Hayes's policy than wonder it had not
been adopted before. The Republican
leaders must have nearly forgotten the
words of Mr., Lincoln, if not quite, the
last time he ever spoke upon this sub.
ject LET us all join in doing the things
necessary to restore the practical rela-
tions between the States and the Union"
Military menaCes were no part of such a
policy. The South has never yet been
fairly trusted or tried till now. And the
success so far attending the Presidents
policy seems to be stunning rebuke to
the party in power, that it has never
been tried before, If not full guaranty
for time to come.

PRESIDENT Hayes has nominated Hen
ry S. Sanford as minister to Belgium, q
place he filled in the early part of the
war, and acted ridiculously, assuming
airs and seeking to run the whole busi-
ness in Europe, visiting Paris and other
points frequently, and putting on great
style. It seems in 1861 gentleman was
designated by Col. Thomas A. Scott, then
Assistant Secretary Of War, with the APP
proval of Gen. Meigs and President Lin
coin, to purchase army supplies abroad,
and that the sum of 100000 was placed
to his credit for that purpose. When he
arrived in London he found Mr., Sanford
anxiously awaiting his arrival, who tried
by every means to have the sum trans
ferred to his (Sanfords) credit. This
was refused. Sanford then left London
and went to Paris, and got up a scheme
for selling a large quantity of cloths to
the Government that had been contract
ed for by a Confederate agent at price
of from 8 to IL francs per metre. The
gentleman says that in the course of the
conversation and correspondence, San
ford intimated that each might make a
nice thing out of the operation. The
goods were shown the agent, but they
were grey in color, and of an inferior
quality, and he refused to have anything
to do with them. Sanford and he part
ed, the former threatened to send dis.
patch to the government at home, in
which he would charge that the agent
was engaged in defrauding the govern
ment. The gentleman further says that
he had reason to believe that Sanford
subsequently sent his private secretary
to Washington to force the sale of those
very cloths on the government, through
some such influence as he has recently
welded, and it was nothing bat General
Meigs's frmness that defeated his pur-

In the lower House of Congress on
Friday last the Army Appropriation bill
was the subject of discussion. The Re-
publican members persistently voted in
a body against any reduction in the
army, several amendments having been
offered to that effect. An amendment
was finally adopted preventing the re-
cruiting of the army beyond 25,000 men.
The efforts of the Republican members
to increase the army consumed much
time. Force rule is still the leading fea-
ture in Republican sway. The leaders
want large standing army to keep Ia
boring men in subjection, and interfere
in what the State and local authorities
ought to do.

whom he took the pavement at the last election,
laboring Jealous for their defeat We are in
formed that there were cheaper and more eligible
bids than that pat in by Jacob, but which do not
seem to have met with favorable consideration
The Commissioners may probably be able to ez-

above others to whom the position had been ike

doubt not he will prove worthy man for the
place, which is the main thing.

"THR GREAT FRAUD,"-Judge Black is
out in pamphlet on "The Great Fraud"
called out by Mr., E. w. stoughton's arti-
Gle in the September number OF the
North American Review. Judge Blacks
reioinder is ponderous and overwhelm-
ing, as might haye been anticipated
"Divested of personalities, which are
decidedly the most spicy part OF 1t, ana
which are exCusable because invited,
Judge Blacks paper is a trenchant pre-
sentation of the now notorious and gem
erallv accepted facts in regard to the per-
version of the electoral votes OF Louis
lana and Florida from Hayes to Tilden.
The perpetrators of the fraud, according
10 his theory, were the Returning Board
and the visiting Republican statesmen,
one of the latter now being Secretary OF
the Treasury, another a Senator OF the
United States, enjoying the confidence
of the President, another our Minister 10
France, and another our Minister to Rus
sia. MIR. Stoughton is specifically charg-
ed with wilfully breaking the ninth com-
mandment, but in grade of guilt is char
itably placed a little below bis associates
ia the conspiracy on the ground of men
tai imbeciity. As to the Electoral Com
mission, it is considered as a political,
not judicial, body, whose acts are fairly
amenable to criticism, and its reputation
for judicial integrity is calmly left, as
Bacon left his, ito foreign countries, to
fntnre aces and to mems charitable
speeches" incidentally a high tribute
is paid to Mr.. Tilden, in response to Mr.
Stoughton's "monstrous falsehoodss," al
though the writer considers that the at
tempt of our Russian ambassador to de-
fame him is in itself decoration OF char
acter. 1t is to be hoped that for the sake
of our common country this pamphIet
will be translated into Russian, for, II II
be, the Gar may throw Stoughton back
on our hands"

the result of its researches is as follows :
"West thinks it was Matthews, Mat

it was both; Sherman thinks it was all
three; Halstead thinks there were four
of them; and Deacon Smith thinks it
was all of them and pretty much every
body else, who lost Ohio"
