of this State from utter ruin. You
see under this clause of the COnsti-
tuition it takes the votes of three
nOn-tax-payers to overcome the
vote of one taxpayer, for it says
that whenever a question of that
kind is submitted, unless a three
fourths majority vote for it, it shall
not be considered as carried. Some
of the counties Of the State said, we
don't want this protection leave us
out and let bare majority decide
whether we shall be taxed to build
railroads. Well, they were left out,
and what has been the consequence?
Some of them are to-day repenting
in sackcloth and ashes that this
constitutional protection, requiring
three-fourths vote to carry a tax
proposition, was not extended over
them: for they have had large
taxes to build railroads voted on
them by bare majority vote, and
they are now seeking whatever re-
lief they can get from the onerous
burden by an appeal to the courts.
What has happened to those coun-
ties would have happened to this
county and others but for this salu-
tary check on the power Of a bare
majority to vote tax on the people.

of What? &? OF a bare majority OF
qualified voters to vote any amount
of tax upon the people for internal

He said in his speech the other day
that, although | could not get my
resolutions passed, that induced

agree to a clause requiring a three
fourths vote, and that he was in
favor of allowing a bare majority to
decide. That is, that bare major

The Art of PrOlOnging Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations of the laws
that govern our physical being,an of which
the masses arc ignorant. If men knew bet
ter they would do better; but how can they
avoid an evil that they know not of? While
efforts are made through the public schools
to give each child a so-called common Eng.
| lish education, yet the children are permit
| ted to grow up and enter upon the RESPONSE.
Bile duties of active life, profoundly ignorant
of the structure of their own bodies, and tho
laws of the physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent to
| school and crammed with arithmetic, gram
mar, and geography, by teachers who, in
| many instances, have never studied phys-
| ology and hygiene. They are taught to To-
cate the mountains and trace the rivers of
foreign countries, but are never taught to
locate the vital organs and glands Of their
own bodies or trace the veins, arteries, and
nerves. in their various ramications. They
are instructed in the flow of the tides, and
the course of the ocean currents, and tho
philosophy of winds and storms but they
have no correct conception of the relative
effects Upon their health of breathing pure
or impure air, nor has their attention ever
been called to the importance of keeping
their bodies clean and healthy by regular
bathing. The criminality of such neglect in
teaching becomes apparent when we consider
that the masses, ignorantly violating the
laws of health, bring upon themselves sick.
ness, suffering, and death, that might other.
wise be avoided. In this condition of things
we welcome into being any work that is
calculated to impart to the masses knowl-
edge of the structure Of their own bodies,the
laws of health, and the importance of OBJ.
serving those laws, We find DR.. Pierces
Common Sense Medical Adviser to be such a
work. 1t is physiological and pathological,
and the major part of it should be convert
ed into a Textbook for the Use of common
schools, Its careful study will enable the
healthy to preserve their health, and the
sickly to regain health. Every parent
should read It, and as their children become
of proper ages instruct them in the all-im-
portant truths it contains. Were this done,
much suffering and premature death would
be prevented, and many youth saved from
life of shame and licentiousness. The
book contains nearly one thousand pages, is
profusely illustrated with colored plates and

Many Dollar formerly spent on ex-
pensive Sulphur Baths is now saved by SUBJ
stituting therefor GLENN's SULPHUR Soar,
which is Just as beneficial but infinitely
cheaper. Local diseases of the skin, rheu-
matism and gout are all relieved by this
standard remedy. Complexional blemishes
are eradicated by it, and 1t imparts to the
cuticle pearly whiteness and velvety soft
ness which greatly enhance the effect of fe-
male charms. Its soothing, antiphlogstic
action constitutes it a prime remedy for sores,
ulcers, cuts, sprains, scalds, bruises, and in
fact every abnormal condition of the cutcle
attended by Inflammation, swelling or iteh-
ing. Ladies moving in our best society
speak of its beautifying properties in enthus-
iastic terms, and give it a decided preference
to cosmetics which NEARLY, conceal but do

RIGfITING WRONGS.

The Wheeling REGISTER thinks it

Well now, Mr. REGISTER the con-
tinuation OF Mr.. HAYES III the presIden-

BLAlE's project for rIghtiDg this wIong2
Adhere 10 logic and answer this ques-
ton Ws0I,fsid Spirit.
By the constitution and laws Of Ohio,
it is made the duty of the Legislature
to district the State for Congressional
purposes. As now Distracted 3 foul
wrong IS perpotra.ed upon large num-
Der Of the people 1t is within the
power Of the Legislature tocorrect this
wrong.
Mr.. HAYES occupies the Presidency by
fraud ]. there is any power in Con-
gross to correct this fraud it will be COW
rlly or dishonest in it to fail to do so;
but il TO more follows that the particular
mole chosen by Mr. BLAIR should De
adopted than that any particular, or pre-
posterous, bill for redistric,ing the State
should be the only one to choose.
We see Il mode Of legally a0d Justly
redisLrictng the State OF Ohio for Con-
gre,sionaI purposes, but We have seen 10
mode pointed out by which the rightful
occupant can be seated in the White
House.
If we understand Mr.. BLAIR's propo-
sition Alright, 1t is to take the case before
the Supreme Court. What ia to be Gain
ell by this, after the acton eta portion Of
the judges composing that court last win
tor, we are unsOle to divine Expert
epcc shows that Supreme Court judges
are much like other people. They are
seldom selected for their exceptional
learning in the law, or for their conspicu-
Gus integrity, but ottener to please some
section o! country or cable of politicians;
or sometimes, as in the case of two or
three appointments by GRANT, for the
purpose of procuring q particular decl-
sion. They carry with them TO the bench
their personal grievances and political
preiudices, and seldom fsil to make the
most of them in the rendition OF their de-
ClsiOas.
If the Spirit is prepared to assure US
that Mr.. BLAIR's project for righting
the Presidential wrong can be made to
accomplish its aim, We will acknowledge
the force of its logic, aud SO, AGO in, by
