A Lucky FInd.
Meridian Mercury.l

We learn that John Holden, the
Surveyor of Perry county, while out
surveying a few days since, found
S35. 600, the money deposited some
years ago by Wages, McGrath and
Copeland, as related in DR.. Pitts "Life
Of James Copeland"
II this be true there is more truth
than poetry ia Dr.. Pitts book contain
ing the revelations Of the Wages Clan.
The finding, according 10 accounts, 10
to be attributed to the se%nsitiveness
and the yearning of the needle 10 the
"silver dollars Of our fathers" The
Surveyor found his needle so agitated
by mysterious attraction that he made
a search for concealed metals; and he
and a companion scratched up this lit
lie pile, 5000 in silver dollars, the bal
ance in gold, which they divided be-
tween them.
We ask them both now, as we are
for honor!ng silver again by law, to
sends us 50 so each Of the find and
take the Mercury n year.
The facts, briefly, as stated in DIR,
Pitts's book, are Copeland, In his con-
iession TO DR.. Pitts, before he was
hung, said he had hid away the said
sum OF money, and taken field notes Of
the locality aud made a diagram to
guide him to the spot again. IL his
subsequent battlO in Harvey's field,
where be, McGratb, Hardin, Pool and
Copeland went 10 waYlay and assas-
sinate him (Harvey,) nc lost his dia-
gram and notes and was never able 10
fad II again. The Doctor always had
an impression that Wages and Nc
Grath, Copeland's coniederates, who
we're killed by Harvey, had taken up
the money without Copeland's knowl-
edge aud moved II. II is said In con.
nestion with this report, that the lucky
finders discovered the names Of these
men cut In the bark of trees near the
place.

the other day on the reassembling OF
the Legislature Of that State. When
tho Senate adjourned in April last It
stood: Republicans II, Democrats l6.
Ten Republicans have since retired
from the Senate, through fear of being
prosecuted by that body for Oaensea
committed while members of It. In
the interim, four Democrats have been
elected TO fill the vacancies made by
these rcsignations. The Senate, there
fore, now stands: Democrats 20, Inde-
pendCnts l, Republicans 6, vacancies O.
In tho House, also, enough Republican
members have resigned to reduce
their number from 50 to 81, giving the
Democrats 50 majority, where they
had only . majority before. The Dem
ocrats, as will DO seen, have now COM

THE REASONS.

Prominent among the reasons for
the decline in Methodism is found
in the following from a Wheeling pa
per: Speaking of the Presidential
election a Methodist brother writes
to another as follows:
"We are done, thank God; q week
more of it would have turned US all
over to the devil. Our minister came
out with barely religion enough to
take a text, and we have not had a
class-meeting for two mouths, and
after all old Tilden is elected. 1t
don't pay. Pray for us up here, or
send us Mrs. Van Colt, or some
thing"
Glass meetings have been aband-
oned, and are no longer tests of men,
bership. The distinguishing fea-
lures of Methodism were relinquish-
ed to get into closer communion
with the world, anathon began the
decline. After that Politics crept in,
then Fashion, then the devil, and
Methodists are now like unto other
men. When Methodist ministers
preached "Jesus and Him crucified,"
the cause lourished, but so 500 as
the clergy began mixing in politics
Methodism began to decline, and at
this day, you cannot tell q Methodist
from 'any other man."
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-01-25

After carefully watching the cur
rent of events since the presidential
election no one can be so blind as not
to see the determination to inaugu-
rate Hayes at whatever cost. Every
barrier that lies in the way to this
end is ruthlessly torn down and
shattered into fragments. The Re
publican papers unblushingly assert
that the constitution of the United
States, a document We have always
been taught to look upon as the pal
ladium of our liberties, is nothing
more than n piece of waste paper.
This of course is done for the pur-
pose of preparing the minds of the
people for the unconstitutional inau-
guration of Hayes. The plans are
all laid; the chains for the people are
forged. Will they wear them?
