The Beer-uns at Runnvmede,

All was quiet at "Runnymede'-Democra
headquarters on Broadway. goodly number
of the faithful sat discussing the political is
sues, past and present; the financial theories of
Gen. Jackson as compared with those of Gen.
Cary-the financial theories of Senator Thur
man as compared with those of General Ewing,
and admiring the beautiful harmony of the
whole. They were also discussing the course of
the Jackson county Democrats during the war,
and their course now and admiring the beauti-
full consistency of the two.
1t was strange gatherfng-old men who had
grown gray in si- we mean in voting the DEM
ocratic ticket, young men just swallowing their
first dose of States Rights, the rebel Democrat
the Northern Copperhead, anu the Democrat
who hasn't sense enough to do anything else
but vote the ticket.
There was the old patriarch, who wanted to
whip the Republican party for raising a liberty
pole, twenty years ago; there was the Howard
| of the Democratic camp, the man who seeks to
astonish the world by showing it a praying
Copperhead; there was "Big Sandy" who COM
mands at Democratic headquarters now, and
there was Gen. Bluster, who commanded at
Democratic hindquarters during the war; and
was Quartermaster of the Scioto township cav
| airy, and who faced death and the Yankee SOL
diers, with Col. Bill Gilliland.
! In the midst of the interchange of views
| county Democracy, came swinging along with
| copy of that wicked sheet, the Jackson STAN
| dard. "Long Ed" begins to read the resolu-
| tions published in the paper.
! "Why, men," shouts the patriarch, ''I would.
MT, men, believe word of sich stuff! tell ye
men; it's all a lie! No sich resolutions wuz
| ever passed, men!'
"Now, sah," said "Long Ed" you was right
| when you passed these resolutions dey had de
| right ring; but now whah is ye? Coin to sup
port Tom Ewin', the mos tyrannical soldier
| who fit agin us?"
| Here the "learned shoemaker spoke up, ant
reminded "Long Ed" that the resolutions were
| in an abolition paper, and were not Ito be cred
tied. But "Long Ed.' only pointed to the cred
| it, "Iron Valley Express" attached to the res
Il olutfons, and went on reading. But as one af
A ter another of the reasonable utterances wa
read, the pressure became greater and greater
and finally the explosion came. s'Spike-noset
Bill' rushed across the street. and did MT return
the "learned shoemaker" ripped out terrible
oath, swallowing three peanuts in the opera
tion. The patriarch beat the pavement will
his cane. "Fishy John,'' who had done hard
day s work (about Is years ago., and was in
bad humor, declared that "the young mel
were gittin' too smart!' Gen. Bluster yelled
out that "by- I've nothn' to take back" tn
"Howard' gazed around solemnly. and said
| Brethren, let's pr"
But he he was unheard. Big Sandy rushed
out, grabbed the chairs, kicked the pump
traiIed his coat tail in the dust, and ordered tn
troublesome "Long Ed.' to leave. He accuses
"Long Ed" of being numbskulI-of not bein
posted, &c. This, coming from Big Sandy, wa
too much for "Long Ed" He left. So did ou

He Took If Sfrai

The citizens along Portsmouth street were
treated to fine exhibition of ground and lofty
tumbling, on Saturday evening. A man was
riding along upon a gray horse-nothing re-
markable about that-but behind him and
clinging to him, was another man, who was
riding on the same horse-but he didn't know
it. He rode the horse all over. He would
lurch forward, almost knocking the front man
out of the saddle, then backward, until his
head would almost reach the "crupper.' Then
he would straighten up, and look very sober ~
for about half minute, then over to one side,
almost lifting his companion out of the saddle,
then up straight, then over to the other side
until the horse presented the appearance of
being laden with a pack-saddle. When we last
saw the procession as it turn ed up South street,
the rear division of it was lying flat down upon
the horse.
The man in front looked as though he was
ashamed; the horse looked though he was
more ashamed than the man.
This was finely-drawn illustration of a vic
tory over adverse circumstances. This man
doubtless came to town in the morning weigh
ed down by the cares of state-his mind in sore
trouble over the Fisheries Award, the increase
OF the National debt, the unemployed and
starving poor, &c. Now all these had passed
away, and left his head empty as nature
made it. The hard times had no terrors for
him John Sherman's IS ruinous financial policy,
Sam. Tilden's bar1 or Charles Fosters money
were nothing to him. Even the fact that his
friends were going to organize Ewing and
Rice Club that evening, did not disturb him.
He could not Rice up to attend it. In fact, he
could scarcely beer up under the Democracy
that he had.

| There is one falling which is possessed by a
| very large portion of the human race. 1t is
| that of borrowing trouble" When an cpl
demic like the yellow fever or smallpox breaks
out in any portion of the world, great many
people, as soon as the news reaches their imme-
diate neighborhood, begin looking about 1or
veritable cases.
When the yellow fever was raging in the
South last year. and some few cases were
brought up the river a great many persons be-
came as badly frightened as if the plague was
at their very doors. When there were a few
cases over in Gallia county, many persons in
Jackson county were in doubt as to whether
or not it was safe to come to Jackson although
there was not suspicious case" of sickness in
the county We may all rest assured that if
such plague breaks out in any community
near us, we will find it out, to certainty, in a
very short time. The yellow fever lives on
filth, and a warm climate-we have neither
here.
When the fever made its appearance in Mem
phis this year again, people sought for news
from that locality everywhere but in the news
papers. On a certain day, the Associated Press
telegraphed North the news of some four or
five deaths as the record for that day. The
same evening we were talking with some
friends, and the question of yellow fever came
up. We were asked for the news, and replied
thatithere were no cases nearer than Louisville,
except one, at Cincinnati.
"Why,'' said lady present, "haven't you
heard of the eight cases at Gallipolis?''
We confessed that we had not.
ssNor of the fourteen cases at Columbus?"
Again we confessed our ignorance.
"And it's just raging at Cincinnati!'
We began to think we didn't know much
about what was going on.
"And there's three cases at Ports"
We suggested that in case the fever was rag
ing to that extent, there was bare possibility
that the press of the afflicted communities
might know something about it.
"Ah," said our alar,r' I'd friend, "they sup |
press such news-they don't want it to get |
abroad!''
We hadn't thought of that before. That is |
probably the reason we do not hear of the |
that 'sscooped" by the "Death |
Angel" in his terrible march. But there's no |
langer, friends!

youth who was naturally reckless and
vicious,
By some indiscretion offended his parent;
Who at once in a manner and style unpropi-
tious,
Essayed to eliminate vices inherent,
He bent the young gentleman over his femur
And applied the reproof which he needed
not lingual,-
In a way which aroused in the tricky young
schemer,
A hatred intense toward well seasoned
shingle.
The shingle arose with remarkable Vlgor,
| And fell on the base of the Juveniles bustle;
When he with the bite of a blood thirsty tiger,
Proceeded to taste the old gentleman's muscle.
| "The first law of nature is self preservation
And the youth bent his energies in this d1-
| rection;s
For his object his aim and his determination,
Was simply to bite for his own self-protection.
The old man surprised at this combina-
ton,
| And the turn which affairs had SO suddenly
| taken,
(For the boy was still eagerly munching his

"But dad, who commenced this disturbance

"You are shaking the bloody shirt full in our
faces"
The Democrats howl with assumed indigna-
ton;
Lay down your revolvers your shotguns and
maces,
And we will surrender your bloody creation.
They tell us the North is United and solid,
That Republicans harbor a sectional feeling;
We ask with the youngster SO stubborn and
stolid,
'who started this fight about which you are
squealing.''
Who is it that asks us to pension jeff. Davis?
"The man who had motives pure and in

Twas thus spoke Lamar that serene rare avis-
"As those which the heart of Washington

Who are they who rise in Congressional places.
And boast of their record of treason Internal?
And are warmly applauded by Northern

We attended the Democratic meeting at the
Court Hause on Saturday night. 1t very
small meeting. AT time We're there
more than twenty Democratic voters in the
house. A constitution for club was adopted,
and w. S. Baker chosen president, and James
K. McCIung was chosen secretary. When the
executive committee was to be chosen. Levi
Dungau nominated John T. Moore and Porter
DuHadway. AS the president and secretary
were lawyers, and two more lawyers were
named for the committee, Mr.. Lyons, the
tailor, got up and protested. He said they were
about to run the whole thing with professional
men, and he thought the mechanics and labor
ing men should have a show. Then Frank
Hudson, Ben. Trago and H enry Olendorf were
substituted and elected.
1t was now after nine o'clock, but Levi Dun
gan got up and volunteered speech. He
seemed to be trying to be fair He said none
of the speakers whom he had heard this cam
| paign had touched the real question. He then
| went on to denounce the supervisor law, and
| made ranting States rights speech. He prais-
ed Thomas Jefferson's Democracy, in desiring
| to let the poor man vote. and to extend the suf-
frage generally, but he forgot to say that when
he DUNCAN, was in the Ohio Legislature some
| twelve years ago, he and all the Democrats
| there, passed a law to send a man to the peni-
| tentiary for voting, if he had any-the least
visible admiXture of African blood in mis- veins;
he also forgot to say that he and all Democratic
members voted to withdraw the consent of the
State of OHIO from the Fifteenth Amendment.
Mr. DUNCAN charged that the depression in
in iron, and the hard times generally, were
| caused by a contraction of the currency. He
| sail persons denied that there had been con-
| traction of the currency, but everybody knew
| that the currency had been contracted one
| third since the year 1855. He said the official
| figures from the Treasury Department would
prove this. Mr.. DUNCAN is not posted. We
publish the official figures, sent to us by Secre
| tary Sherman himself, which show that Mr.
DUNCAN knows nothing about the matter.
| We intend to notice other points made by
Mr.. DUNCAN, but must defer it until next week

He Smiled.

When the first boom of traitors guns
Alarmed the peaceful North,
And one by one her stalwart sons
Went bravely marching forth
When overcome by horrid fears,
The mother, wife, and child,
Were shedding bitter, binding tears
The Northern traitor smiled.
When on Manassas CORY field
Our soldiers backward flew,
And thousands were compelled to ylelo,
And death wounds were not few
And rebel yells victorious rang
On the hot air. fierce and wild,
And "two to one" the gray-coats sprang,
The Northern traitor smiled.
When at Shiloh brave men fell
AS onward rushed the foe,
And thick and fast the shot and she'll
Laid Northern heroes low,
Then, as the sad news broke the heart
OF mother, wife, or child,
The Northern traitor stood apart,
Looked calmly on, and smiled.
Now the same 'gray-coats' again
Assail the Nations life,
But the stubborn "Yanks" are now, as theni
Quite ready for the strife;
And after the next election day
The traitor will pause while,
The tell-tale figures he'll survey
But then he will not smile.
