A Republican Editor Who Has
Some Honor About Him.

John Hopley, Of the Bucyrus Journa
--by common consent the ablest Repub-
lican (country) newspaper in Northern
Ohio--rises above the blue of the blgoted
partisan, and possesses not only sense
enough to see the faults Of his party, but
the manliness to rebuke them. Regard
ing the late Congressional eapportion-
Hopley aptly remarks :gy an
Republicans cannot denounce q the
present Democratic dishonesty, when ii
stands bright and honest by comparison
with the iniquity Of 1872. SD 59ae
It is . Republican cursel like . chicken
come home to roost. hsj.ti2 g i
II the party will learn that honesty is
the best policy in politics as well as in
individuals, and cease to countenance in
the party, acts from which individuals
would shrink, then the Republicans may
hope to regain what they have lost by the
trickery OF their selfish leaders.
As for this redistricting iniquity, the
party has just itself to thank for it and no
one else. s5sAe2 .si''L43 - taE'

The Temperance Picnic

The Temperance Picnic
At Malaga, the 9th ult, was an &C.
kuowledged success. The following re
port is made for publication 10 THE
SPIRIT, according to motion:
1t was in Hstcher's beautiful grove,
close to the village, and though at very
busy time, especially with the farmers,
the attendance was quite good.
After the opening prayer by
DR.. w. Foster, President of the occa.
sion, made the address Of welcome, and
was followed by Revs Smith OF Millions
burg and Walters Of Stark County.
The Miltonsburg Coruet Band furnish.
ed the occasion with plenty Of good mu-
sic.
After "faring sumptuously" the people
came orderly together under the good
management of H. Williams, the appoint.
ed Marshal of the day.
Rev. Peregoy then proceeded to ad.
dress the audience, but was interrupted
by q rain etorm which drove the people
to the Christian Chul ch hard by, where
short speeches were made by Mr. Mason,
Of Woodsfield, Mr., Brown, Bethany stu
dent, Mr.. Cleveland, of Calais, and by
Others.
1t certainly was very enjoyable occa'
sion; and not only was it a pleasant af.
fair, but most assuredly profitable one,
tending strongly toward the educating oi
the people to higher ard better temper
ance sentiment. In conclusion will also
say that Elder j. A. Walters preached
here Friday and Saturday evenings and
two discoursfs on Lords Day-the dis,
course at 3 80 r NJ being delivered in
Hatcher's grove, on Temperance, and
was listened to with marked interest.

FROM THE CONGRESS.
Several Points Still Left Unsettled.
Turkeys War Indemnity.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY TO SET.
TIE THIS THEMSELVES.

LONDON, July 3--The session Of the
Berlin Congress yesterday lasted two
hours and half. II is believed that the
Congress will have completed the discus
sion 81 the principal questions To be de
cided by it by the end of this week. It
will only have next week to formally
sanction the decisions of the Committee
OF the Second Plenipotentiaries, presided
over by Prince Hohenlohe, which com.
menced series of preliminary delibera-
tions on Saturday last.
WHAT Is AGREED UPON.
1t has been decided that Servia shall
retain Nisch but not Novi. Bazaar the Ko-
pavnik defle forming the western from
tier of the new territory. The Seryiau
delegates declare themselves satisfied.
The Montenegrins are dissatisfied, espe.
cially at obtaining nothing on the south
Antivari is to be declared q neutral port,
but open to Austrian men of.war. @
NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE.
The questions of the navigation of the
Danube and the war indemnity were dis
cussed In the Congress yesterday, 1t
seems that the latter Is not definitely set
tied, and there is some doubt concerning
the former, which, however, is at least
on the point Of settlement on the basis
Of existing regulations, namely, that
navigation shall be politically unimpeded
and shall be controlled by a mixed sci,
entific commission. 1t is said that Aus.
tria has proposed that the neutral boun-
Diary be carried much further up the
stream than at present and all the fortif-
cations on the banks razed. ,9a
THE TURKISH INDEMNITY. @
The discussion on these proposals was
postponed. On the indemnity question
England, France and Italy refused to re-.
cognize priority for Russia's pecuniary
claim. Russia disclaimed the intention
of priority or exacting territory instead
tof money. gag - s 'i
M THEY MUST SETTLE IT.
One Of the Berlin correspondents of
the Times says the Congress, in the view
of Turkeys absolute inability to pay the
indemnity, declined to take any action,
and left the matter for private settlement
between Turkey and Russia, b.saes
AMOUNT RATHER THAN CONDITIONS. i9
The Daily Telegraph confirms the
foregoing and says Prince Bismarck
warned Russia against exacting territory
instead Of money indemnity, the amount
Of which, however, he declared matter
for settlement between Russia and Tur-
key. Another correspondent Of the
Times states the indemnity question,
which was adjourned, will probably be
referred to q commission. The Plenipo-
tentiaries clearly recognize the import
ance OF the question, and will not allow
|it to be settled separately. % rs
