The newly elected Directors of the Board
of Trade met at 3 p. IN. yesterday. Mr. Jules
F, Blackburn was unanimously reelected
Secretary, and Mr.. John Simpkinson as
Treasurer.
A communication was read from a COM
mittee appointed at meeting of the bust
ness men OF Syracuse, n. Y, urging the ne
cessity of the unconditional repeal of the
Bankrupt Law, and requesting the assist
ance of the Board in efforts to attain that
end
The Board ordered an answer stating
what they had done in bringing the matter
before the business community.
A communication was received from Mr..
Carl A. G. Adae, asking the consideration
and adoption Of the following preamble and
resolution:
Whereas, A bill has been introduced in
the State Legislature by Mr. Steedman,
which proposes to give to the judgment
debtor in all cases, without any guarantee
or security by the latter to other parties in
interest, for the use, rent or proceeds of the
property, the privilege of remaining in pos
session for two years after sale on execution
or by order of Court of any real estate and
also to allow the Judgment debtor or any
party having equitable interests adverse to
the Judgment creditor, to redeem the prop
erty so sold at any time within two years
from such judicial sale by rendering the
price at which it was bid off and interest
and,
"Whereas, Such BILL if it should become
law would result in serious injury and
embarrassment to all classes of business
men; and,
Whereas, No fair, just and enlightened
legislation can go further than to give a
right of redemption within reasonable
time (Which can not be longer than one
year,, protecting meanwhile, the rights of
creditors, either by change of possession OF
payment of rent or interest;
'Resolved, That we earnestly protest
against the passage Of said bill"
The preamble and resolution were adopt
ed, and it was ordered that Messrs. E. G.
Goshorn, P II. Hartman and the Secretary
prepare protest and circulate the same
for the signatures of business men gener-
ally,

Christina Schoenberger against the City
of Cincinnati. This action is brought to re-
cover $4,000 for injury to the plaintiff s
house on the north side of Sixth street,
near the Hamilton & Dayton Railroad track.
The plaintiff alleges that in August, 1871,
the city carelessly permitted the sewers on
Evans and Sixth streets to become out of
repair so that the water was unable to drain
off, and flowed into her cellar cracking the
walls of her house, and rendering it damp
and untenantable.
The City denies these allegations. Trial
in progress.

The Murder at Ohio Furnace.

A gloom Of sadness pervades this COM
munity, and sad hearts bleed and blanch-
ed cheeks are wet with scalding tears.
A highly respectable man has been strick-
en- down in the vigor and bloom of man.
hood Yesterday Sunday Geo. Burke
was killed by Thos. Greggmiles at Ohio
Furnace. We have experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in getting at the facts in
the case on account of the conflicting
reports, even from those who claim to
have been there. Geo. Burke had been
keeping company with Miss Greggmiles,
sister of the murderer, for some time,
and on Saturday returned from Ports
mouth, where they had been attending
the Teachers Institute. The parties
were all at church at 3 clock, and, just
after meeting had been dismissed, Chas.
Greggmiles and Geo. Burke were seen to
over to the "pot-house" together; no one
heard what passed between them, but
almost as soon as they entered they were
seen to clinch and commence to scuffie.
Chas. Greggmiles, Sr., and Thomas, the
murderer, were but a short distance away
and both ran in and gathered up pieces
of iron, Thomas striking Burke just over
the ear, crushing in his skull and killing
him instantly. Charles, Sr., at the same
time threw heavy missile of iron at
Burke, which, missing hlm, struck
Charles, Jr., in the head, inhicting dan
gerous wound. Thomas. in the mean
time, fed to the woods, but was overtaken
one mile away and brought back to the
furnace, where Mr.. Doty had them all
put under guard. II is said that Burke
had marriage license in his pocket, and
was to have married Miss Greggmi),,s this
week. 1t is also said that the young lady
is almost distracted over the loss Of hei
intended husband. 1t appears that the
Greggmiles were opposed 20 the marriage
and that the couple were suspected o
wrong doing Mr., Charles Greggmiles

Read What the Organ of the Democracy
of Ohio has to say About the War
aud your Wives and Daughters

The Ohio Statesman, published at the
city of Columbus, is the organ Of the
Democratic party of the State of Ohio,
and has been its organ for at least forty
years. During the war it was celebrated
foI its reasonable utterances; but since
the clese Of the war its policy has been to
keep comparatively quiet for the purpose
of deceiving the loyal men Of the State
as to the true character of the leaders of
its party. Now, however, it has become
SO much elated at the mere prospect of
Solid South with its Northern sympathiz
ers, getting full possession of the Govern
ment, that it is again giving utterance
to the true sentiaents Of the Democratic
leaders In an issue of this Democratic
organ, Of August, 1878, the editor says:
The war of the rebellion was worse
than useless war, and it was prolonged to
three times its necessary length.
Good and true men, in the patriotic
enthusiams of the movement, entered
the ranks to fight the rebellion only to
find that they had volunteered into
slavery that was more CALLING than that
OF a Plantation Negro. They were treat
ed like dogs-made to submit to.indigni-
ties that would produce rebellion in
State prison And all
at home were suffering for the common
necessaries of life, and were being de-
bauched by the stay y-at-h ONE thieves, who
made the loundest professions ofloyalty.
In the Statesman of the 31st of August,
1878, the editor makes an argument in
justification of the above outrageous and
slanderous declarations, in the course of
which he uses the following language:
During such times as '62-3 and the
generous and selfsacri6cing will be found
at the front, while the cool. calculating,
self-indulgent will be found at home un-
scrupuously taking advantage of the stu
alton. And to increase their opportuni-
ties these men are uniformly the loudest
in their professions of loyalty. The wives
and daughters of the generous men who
go the front, are like the wives and
daughters of other men. Keen necessity
and consumate scoundrelism may work
their ruin just the same as it has the ru-
in of others.
In reply to the Columbus Dispatch the
editor says that the Saxon epithets that
he had made use Of were intended to ap-
ply ito the men who, during the war, re-
mained at home to Speculate in bonds
and bounties, and to take advantage of
the necessities of wives and daughters, to
insult or debauch them, while their nat
ural protectors were in the field"
These are the sentiments of that same
old Copperhead party that is now asking
your support, veterans, and endeavorng
to deceive you by the hypocritical cry of
Reform They say the war is dead
issue, and yet they slander and vilify
those who were engaged in it, and basely
insult the wives and daughters of the
brave men who saved the nation from the
fratricidal hands Of their Southern breth-
rem. See that you give these infamous
slanderers the grand bounce on the Sec
ond Tuesday of October

The Hawthorn Tree.

A bird sat in the hawthorn-tree
In bonnie May,
And oh he sang so cheeriiy'
The livelong day;
For, while the sun shone bright above,
He sweetly carolled to his love
A bridal lay.
We stood beneath the hawthorn-tree,
My love and I,
And listened while the brides song
Went floating by;
And as he read his wedding chime
Our Joyous hearts beat merry time,
And sang as high.
A bird sat in the hawthorn-tree
In winter bare,
And drooped his sad head wearily-
No mate was there;
His little heart with grief was crushed,
His song of hope forever hushed
In mute despair.
I stood beneath the hawthorn-tree,
But all alone;
And through its leafless boughs the wind
Made dismal moan;
The dirge-like music seemed to raise
A requiem to those blisSful days
Forever gone!
