ut i'll becomes those who call them
selves Republican leaders to turn their
backs upon an Administration of their
own making, or to refuse to give it credit,
not only for good intentions, but for
good performances. The Republican pol
iticians who deal in detraction of the
Administration advertises thereby either
their own private chagrin at not obtain
ing Office for themselves or their friends,
or else their disappointment that we
have an executive who is not led and

1t was indeed unfortunate for the Re-

HEMP.

Formerly, murderers were always hung
with ropes made of hemp, and it was con-
sidered impolite to speak of hemp in the
presence of persons any Of whose friends
had been hanged.
Fifty years ago Peter Seel and David
Morgan were neighbors, residing near
the line on the extreme sonth part of
Jackson county. They had some diff
Guilty which ended in a law suit in the
Court of Common Pleas, in which Seel
was defeated. Parties could not then
be witnesses in their own cases, as now,
but their children could testify, if they
had no pecuniary interest in the matter
in issue. Some of Morgan's children
were witnesses IN this suit, and Seel de-
clared that they had sworn falsely, and
that Morgan compelled them to do 80
Seel, although q wicked man at that
time, was a very firm believer in God,
one of whose attributes is justice, and
when he came out of the old Court
House he approached Morgan, and calm
ly said: Dave, you have compelled your
own children to swear to lie; justice
will overtake you yet; hemp is growing
for you; justice may not overtake you at
once but it is sure" Morgan soon after
wards removed to the West, and in course
of time was almost forgotten by the resi-
dents of Jefferson township. Some
twenty years after Morgan had gone,
Seel came to our house, and said to
father: do you remember what l told
Dave Morgan twenty years ago? l have
just learned that he has been hanged in
Missouri I knew justice would overtake
him some day; 1 told him hemp was
growing for him.
Since the treason of Hayes we have
thought a hundred times of what Seel
said to Morgan. Hemp is growing for
Hayes-not that we suppose that he will
be hanged; but that justice in some form
will overtake him, we have not the least
doubt in the world, and present develop
ments indicate that the time is not very
remote.
Thomas Jefferson is said to have beer
an infdel; but infdels have way o
saying some very sublime things, ane
Jefferson, in his Notes on Virginia. in
speaking of slavery, said: God is just
and his justice will not sleep forever"

Mayor Moore, of Cincinnati, wants a
Peace Jubilee" in which thousands of
ex-soldiers, both Union and Confederate,
are to join hands, take drink. and
unite in praises of the great policy of re-
conciliation Peace Jubilee !" Seems
to US that it is rather late for peace jubi-
lees. However, if it is to take place, we
would like to see it made grand sue
cess; therefore we suggest that the open
ing scene consist of Stanley Matthews
decorating Wade Hampton with the
American flag, while in the background
Charles Foster and Hamburg Butler
make faces at the portraits of Judge
Chisholm and Ben. Wade. The opening
music should be quartette-hymn-

sung by Hayes, Hampton, Nichols and
Congressman Banning. The great State
of Ohio is expected to contribute many
thousands OF dollars tow ard the expenses
of the "Grand Jubilee.

"Let the Democrats get the next House
as they are soon to get the Senate, and
the President will be kept steadily at
work through the remainder of his term
vetoing Southern claims bills. There are
two thousand million dollars in amount
of these bills now pending in the House. "
II Columbus journal.
Well, the Democrats will have large
majority in the House, as we'll as in the
Senate. You may settle down on that prop
osition, and it is our private opinion that
Hayes will be kept about as busy getting
out of the White House then as his COM
mission kept Packard getting out of the
State House in New Orleans.

The Columbus Journal is very sure
that Hayes must be indorsed at the Re-
publican State Convention The Journal
is like all the Hayes papers, and thinks
that those who oppose the treachery of
Hayes do SO because they did not get
Office. AS the man whose name stands
at the head of the Journal was rewarded
with foreign mission, it is but fair to
conclude that the paper has been bought
with the Office and that the man left in
charge has soul as Insignificant as his
body; and this is saying good deal.
