We are truly gratifed to learn
that our old friend, Hon. John L.
Hughes, of Marshall, Highland Co.,
Ohio, has joined the Murphy army.
Mr.. Hughes is one of Highlands
best and ablest men, but has for a
few years past, almost ruined him
self both physically and mentally,
by the too free use of whisky. He
is now becoming quite aged, and we
earnestly trust he may spend the
remnant of his useful life in a way
that his respected family and hosts
of friends so ardently desire he
should. When he. and his son
marched up and took the pledge, a
few evenings since, it caused a thrill
of Joy and rejoicing never before
witnessed in the little town of Mar
shall. He is known to several of our
citizens Brown Co. News.

Hon. H. C. Dawson, late Repre-
sentative of this county in the lower
House of the Legislature, was one
of the most useful, Industrious and
intelligent members of that body.
He was always attentive to the inter
ests of his constituents, and Of the
people at large, and made a record
honorable to himself and his
county. We are informed that he
does not desire reelection, but we
believe his constituents will very
generally demand that he shall con
sent to serve them another term, and
give them the benefit of the expert
ence and knowledge of legislation
which he has acquired during his
first term of service.

Good Management,
In these times that are so trying
to the railroad interests of the coun-
try, the record of the Scioto Valley
Railway Company is one in which
the management may justly feel a
pride. One day last week the funds
necessary for the payment of the
July interest on the bonded indebt-
edness of the company were forward
ed to Philadelphia and are now sub
ject to the order Of the parties hold
ing the bonds, as will be seen by ref
erence to our advertising columns.
This has been done, we are in
formed, out Of the earnings of the
road, and there is still left a balance,
which it is proposed to apply to the
purchase of additional rolling stock.
In addition to this, Paymaster Chan
dler was over the line yesterday,
making glad the hearts Of the en-
ployees. The regular pay day is the
1Oth, but payment has been made in
advance so that the boys can enjoy
the glorious Fourth in proper
manner. All accounts for the con.
struction of the southern end of the
line have been settled in full, up to
the 3Oth of May.
Every effort possibleis being made
to complete the road so as to carry
passengers from Portsmouth to the
State Fair at Columbus, in Septem-
Der next, and the word tail is one
that George D. Chapman does not
often allow to get away with him.

A writer in Scribner has an arti-
Gle on the subject, "How to keep the
boys on the farm" He evidently
means well, but he doesn't touch the
point. To keep the boys on the farm,
the farm should be well paved, and
lighted with gas, and have a band
stand, and billiard table, and its own
bar and race course. We hope our
farmers are just as anxious as they
appear to keep their boys on the
farm, but they don't seem to take
any definite action. Il [Danbury

The Supreme Court of Indiana
has affirmed the decision of one of
its lowest courts in respect to Utah
divorces, declaring them, when grant
ed to non-residents, absolutely void.
The decision is likely to create a big
commotion in a good many house
holds, and set a number of innocent
children to inquiring after legitimate
fathers. In this lies the the princi-
pal misery of the matter.

This important SciotO Valley rail
way is of great interest to Richmond.
Let our business men revert to their
geography and see the route along
this rich Scioto Valley-One Of the
richest in the wOrld-and the valua-
bic connections it will have with the
great railway system of Ohio run
ming to the lake cities and the West.
This SciOto Valley road is q continu-
alton of the road from that lake city,
Cleveland, Ohio. At Columbus 1t
intersects railways to Chicago, and
the Mississippi Valley of the North
west at all the controlling points.
Now, it is about forty miles from
Portsmouth to the present terminus
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway,
and when that gap is bridged over,
Richmond will have a new world open
to her-a world of commerce es-
pecially adapted to her peculiar re-
Iations to trade and manufactures.
We impress it most earnestly upon
our people that this Ohio system OF
roads, and especially this SciOto
road, are of the deepest interest to
them Richmond (Va) Dispatch.

The Ironton Register, one Of the

speaking of the Presidents Southern

Following the influences of this
kind spirit, Hayes policy has been
adopted. Every Republican prays
for its success, though many fear for
its failure. 1t is natural There are
grave risks in the plan. When an
army makes an advance movement,
the commanding General does not
wholly occupy bis mind with felieita-
tons over a prospective victory; he
also estimates the effects Of disas-
trous defeat. The country will be
tranquil, prosperous and grand, if
the policy succeeds, but if it fails,

with the South, and the reaction
against it will be overwhelming and
effective. The reconstruction and
amendments were the result of three
years awful conflict, and the people
will see that they stand. The South

while, it will be for the North to say
how we'll she has discharged her
duties. There is a divinity which
sees that broken promises are in
some way fulfilled.
