Some of us, north and south, who
have a record in the past TO look after,
are afraid that either side will go more
than half way in the settlement. o
pshaw! What is the use of our stand

with one hand take them by the beard,
and with the other | would take them
by the girdle, and in that grip Of hearty
Christian brotherhood / would have

Is the disgrace Of this century that the
Presbyterian church, north and south,
are not in ecclesiastical correspondence
! to-day; and the greatest shame l ever
suffered in all my life was when, in
! this house, three years ago, the at
tempt at determination was very
! basely defeated. It was a solmn scene
when, at the meeting of the General
Assembly here three or four years ago,
six hundred delegates present, on this
| platform great table was lifted, and
the long line Of cleaning silver com
munIon vessels made spectacle never
! to be forgotten. The churches of the
different denominations Of this city sent
in silver plates and chalices, and the
cleaning array that night on this
platform was overwhelming. God
hasten the better times when all the
churches, north and south, shall send
in their chalices, and we shall sit down
together, consecrated men from Ore
gon forest and Maine lumber region
with men from the savannas and Ia
goons of the south, and the ten thou
sand chalices shall be filed with the
new wine of the kingdom, and Chris
} shall bend ever the northern and south

I give unto you Roll on the day

THE AWFULLEsT LIAR.

The papers of both parties denounce
James &. Anderson as liar. He lied
enough, in connection with others, to
get Hayes into President Tilden's seat.
The necessary amount of wealth was not
applied to soothe Jim's conscience, and
he bIowed on his partners in iniquity,
probably interspersing some lies to en-
able him TO tell it. Lie! Jim can't tell
the truth. Tom Pepper won't be cham.
pion liar in perdition after Jim Ander
son gets there. He'll take off his belt
and hand it over to jim at once. We
knew Jim many years ago when he was
in our employ as compositor on the
Farmer, He was good printer, but the
awfullest liar He got the situation by
lying when the truth would have seCur-
ed it for him twice as quick. He was not
long with US until the boys in the Office
unanimously voted him the cham ion
liar of America. When we gave Jim
copy, he would manage in some way to
80 change it that the proofsheets would
state the reverse OF what was intended.
If he went into saloon and called for
drink of whisky, he would swear it was
water and refuse to pay for it. If he
called for water he would declare it was
whisky, and force pay for it upon the
gentleman behind the bar. He had not
been here two weeks until everything
he said was taken by contraries. Jim's
peculiar talent rendered too much of
public curiosity for our liking, and it be-
came necessary for him to change his
earthly habitation. Never saw him af-
terward; but heard from him few times
and always that as a liar nobody else
was knee high to him. Finally lost all
traces of him, and had almost forgotten
the red.hesded cuss. When Zach Chan.
dler sent out his dispatches the night af
ter the election in 1875, to lie Tilden out
of the Presidency, the thought struck
rs that Jim was old Z4ch's private Sec
retarY. When it became evident that
the lying and theft Of the Presidency
was more than joke, we could feel it in
our esthat that red-headed liar would
turn up somewhere in the transaction as
a master hand, and he disclosed himself
in Louisiana, in the employ of the Re.
publican party. Iffor nothing else, the
Republican party is to be admired for
the skill with which they select dirty
men to do dirty work. Jim is the boss
liar. Truth may be in him, but no cork.

In 10 really time that Democratic su-
premaoy should be overthrOwn. We in
Ohio have been cursed at times with q
Democratic Legislature, and every time
have had reason IN repent it. The fear
full havoc, the present Legislature, at It's
first ses ion, made of our charitable, pc.
nal and reformatory institutions, Is still
fresh in the minds Of our readers,-Car-
roll Free Press.
The Free Press has forgotten the doings
of Observation-Disclosures. The mons
ter central asylum for the insane, that
cost TWO or three millions, the walls Of
which had to be rebuilt. The Free Press
should also remember the high times
the members used to have at the Or.
phan's Home, going there in squads on
Friday or Saturday, and dancing and
carousing over Sunday at the States ex.
pense. Our Democratic Legislature was
not guilty of such lnisconduct--not
mean" enough thus to prostitute"
these benevolent institutions to such
base uses. The Free Press, as a party
Morgan, is much given to bitter and
malignant blather.

THE Republicans speak now as years
ago, of "solid North" and a "solid
South" They mistake, While the
South is solidly Democratic, the North is
not solid" Republican. The Republi-
can party is in a large minority in Ohio !,
in a minority of 10000 in their own
Pennsylvania SC in New York, so in
New Jersey and Connecticut and several
other Northern States. The elections
this fall are instructive to the Democ-
racy, and we believe they will profit by
the lesson, and in 1880 make a triumph
ant march for the Presidency, that will
not be baked by fraud as in 1876

THE New York Evening Post, Republi-
can, proposes to take the financial ques-
ton out of politics, 1t says;
"The present Congress can help effec
tualy to settle the 6uancialquestion, to
put it out of politics, by. the adoption of
two plain and simple measures. Two
things threaten resumption, the pres.
ence of the unlimited legal tender silver
dollar in our currency, and the reissue
of the redeemed Treasury notes. Let
Congress stop the coinage of the silver
dollar, or deprive it of the legal tender
quality; and let it repeal the amendment
Of the Resumption act requiring the
Secretary of the Treasury to reissue
greenbacks after their redemption"
This is the new Republican gospel.
The demonstration of silver, the alb.
solute gold standard, the retirement of
the greenback currency, and the only
paper money National bank notes.

DUCKING PATIENTS AT THE CO.
LUMBUS ASYLUM.

Beyond the simple statement of the
fact that some attendants in the Colum-
bus Asylum have been detected in the
act of duckiug patients, and have been
summarily dismissed for doing so by
Sup't Firestone; and that the practice
has been in vogue there for some eight
cen months, or ever since the opening of
the institution, the Republican press i'm.
agine they have another example Of
Democratic mismanagement, and harp
upon the fact to considerable extent.
The institution was opened under Re.
publican management, DR.. Firestone
has been there only 0eren months; so,
according to their own statement, the
practice had origin, and failed to be dis
covered for eleven months, under the
management of superintendent ofgreat
experience and unusual qualifications.
The folly of building an institution of
such a sza as to make it next to an inn
possibility for one man to manage, was
also of Republican origin. No words of
condemnation can be too strong for such
cruelty; but we claim that not all feel
ings of humanity are monopolized by
any one party or creed. DR.. Firestone
is doing all in his power to rid the insti-
tuition of every one in any way implica-
ted.

The news from New Orleans is that
throughout Louisiana on election day
the colored people voted with the DEM
ocrats en- masse, and were enthusiastic
in support of the cause. In New Or
leans hundreds of the most Influential
colored men stood at the polls all day
and worked heartily for the Democratic
ticket. The result, the dispatch adds,
cannot be attributed to bull-dozing, as
there was no canvass, on account Of the
yellow fever, aud those who voted did
so voluntarily. The Charleston NetCS
and Courier says at many of the polls in
South Carolina the. .Colored men came up
by the hundreds and voted the straight
Democratic ticket. This was noticeably
the case in the district where Smalls,
colored, was the Republican candidate
for Congress, and whose overwhelming
defeat was accomplished by the heavy
Colored vote cast against him.

"Conceit, at times, steps into our defense,
And fills up all the mighty void Of sense" f"

GEORGE FEssLBR, the defaulting treas
urer of Stark county, was arraigned in
the court of said county last Monday,
and plead guilty of the embezzlement
of $4,000 county funds, and to taking
the same to Canada. Having plead gull
ty to this charge, it is said other counts
in the indictment are likely to be dis.
missed. The latter fact is probably of as
much moment to others as it is to Fess-
Ter. According to the Ohio Treasury
law, persons who borrow or receive
wrongfully from q treasurer money that
they know is the property of the treas
ury, are aCCompliCes in the crime of EN-
bezzlement. In the case of Fessler, there
is reason to believe that one of his FIST
illegal acts was taking some $4,000 from
the treasury, and paying off claim held
against him by private bank in Can
ton. 1t is also said that one of the own
ers of this bank caused himself to be
appointed inspector of the treasury FIVE
or six consecutive times, and that on
each of these occasions he knowingly
concealed and covered up the misuse of
the public money that had occurred by
taking from the treasury the sum of $40
900 herein referred to. Doubtless this
inspector will feel easier if Fessler's con.
fession shall cause a di3continuance of
suit on all except the one offence, in
which his various previous deeds culmi-

The Murphy leaders at Navarro have
evidently more conCeit than sense but
are not so thick hided as not to realize
and feel the sCalpel of truth. While
they squirm and wriggle under our ex-
posure of the evangelist Murphy, whom
the Navarro leaders got there to lecture
on temperance and for Mckinley, they
do not deny our statement in any par
ticular. In fact the Navarro correspond
ent of the Cleveland Leader, under date
of the 9th inst, thus admits it:
"McGregor, of the Stark County Dem
Ocrdt, is still on the war path, and cuts
and slashes right and left in this weeks
issue, in answer to my communication in
the Leader of recent date. Now, we de-
sire in reply to his fiery article, to give
him a few plain facts, and to say that we
do not deny that Mr. Murphy did make
few favorable illusions for Major Nc
Kinley while here"
The foregoing is substantially what we
said and, if the fungus temperance Re.
publican politicians at Navarro, had ex'
hibited modiCum of good sense, they
would not have rushed into print to
abuse the editor of this paper for telling
the truth. As usual in such cases, when
men are without argument, they resort
to low personalities. These are the sort
of fellows, too, who aspire to be the dis
tinguished leaders in a moral reform ell
evating movement We take no stock
in such tadpoles. They are corrupt at
the heart, empty in the head, and hence
opinionative with conceit.
