THE crime of nepotism should receive
a little more attention these days from
our Democratic neighbors of the press.
1t would be opportune for them to re-
publish some of their able editorials of
two or three years since ON that subject.
An examination into the manner in
which the majority in Congress have
distributed their official patronage shows
that whatever sins may have been COM
mitted in this direction by the Republi-
cans in times past have now been great
~ surpassed by the Democrats them
selves. For instance, Senators Voor-
hees and Mcdonald, of Indiana; Vance.
of North Carolina; Wallace, of Penn
sylvania; Morgan, of Alabama, all have
secured clerkships for their sons; and
some of them have, in addition, secured
similar positions for their nephews and
other relations.

majority was overcome at the recent

BRIDGEPORT.

Our town was never buster, nor scarcel
of incidents, or muddier or dirtier, OF
more disagreeable to perambulate. A
new floor is being put in the creek bridge
by Capt. Lash. Charley Seabright has
his stone work well advanced on the
new abutments. The creek valley is a
beehive of industry, teams hauling ties
from the river pass and go in process
sions to and from the river, while the
iron horse now pulls vast loads of them
along the line of the T. V. Railroad,
the track of which is being rapidly laid
and righted up-and the necessary pro-
vision made for coaling, watering and
sheltering the rolling stock. The advent
of the locomotive and some cars on this
road created quite turOre-the little
boys stand gaping in wonder, while his
more fortunate dad waits for the wagon,
and then takes a ride-on the track,
which is being laid at the rate of one
half mile day. Nine bridges are fin
ished, at an average cost of about six
thousand dollars each, including stone
work. Twenty yet await construction
this side the tunnel. This work is be-
ing done by the Toledo Bridge Company,
which has its material brought here
ready to put up. Beyond the tunnel
heaps of tressle work will be necessary,
with now and then IA big hole laid on its
side through the hill, just for variety
and soon this great artery will pulsate
from the Ohio to the Lake.
Maj. Gen. Hill has very appropriately
named his new reftted house Imperial
Hotel" and on next Monday night the
new Hotel and "Ogleby Hall" adjoining,
will be christened by a select party in
the Hall. The Imperial is in first-class
and will afford the needy
public flrst-class comfort.

Grant Demonstration at
Columbus.
Fifty Thousand People Welcome
OhiO's Most IIluftriOus Son.
,necisl TO Cincinnati Gazette.

special to Cincinnati Gazette.
COLUMBUS, Dec 12-The city was very
elaborately decorated for the Grant re-
ception. There was scarcely building
on High street without some form of
decoration, while on nearly all the large
buildings the decorations were profuse.
On the State House there was less dis
play. Half dozen streamers composed
of small flags ran from the top of the
dome to the roof Flags surmounted
the dome, and each portico of the Capt.
tol was arched with large flags and pa
triotic designs. Over the west front en-
trance was festooned a streamer bearing
the words
GALL HAIL! oHIo's PRIDEw
Every railroad running into the city
carried immense excursion trains. High
street was crowded with people. 1t is
estimated that fully $4,000 people were
on High street as the procession moved,
and that 5000 or more people were in
the windows. Persons present at the
Cincinnati reception say the crowd in
Columbus was much greater than that
in Cincinnati.
The change of programme by which
Gen. Grants arrival was fixed for 3
o'clock instead of noon, was a slight dis
appointment, because it reduced the time
of the Generals visit. A portion of the
Executive Committee and the sub-cOm-
mittees of reception, started on the 10
a. m. train to Xenia to meet and to es-
cort the distinguished guest to the city.
AS THE TRAIN ARRIVED
within the limits of Columbus, all the
factories within half a mile or so of the
railroad, and all the locomotives in the
various roads whistled the signal of the
arrival, and continued it as a welcome
until the train reached its destination.
The train stopped at the High street
crossing, where a committee met the
General as he came to the rear platform
of the car. Mayor Collins delivered the
address of welcome. 1t was listened to
by the guest with uncovered head. He
stood in the attitude of soldier, with
hat in hand. He responded orally and
easily. but the din and confusion of the
crowd in attempting to get closer, and
of the excitable policemen in attempting
to keep them back, prevented the Gener-
ais voice from being heard more than
six or seven feet away. Half dozen |
times the noise drowned the sound of his |
voice to his own ears, and he was COM
PEELED to stop speaking until it dimin-
ished. There were Indications of genu-
inc enthusiasm in the whole crowd; and
evidence that it was the purpose of
those present to see the man rather than
to see the crowd.
THE TWO RECEPTIONS.
1t is estimated that 5000 or 5000 peo-
pie filed past Gen. Grant in the rotunda
Of the State House at the two receptions,
yhe one before and the other after din

standing Charles HAMMOND, the ehly
great editor that the West produced be-
fore the war epoch. Here were the rep
utations made of men like RuggleS,
Shannon. Jewett, Manypenny, the Ken
mons and the Cowens, families that have
stamped their influence upon the State.
No shire town in Eastern Ohio has such
a record of great names, OF such cherish
ed historical associations. The old Court
House was proudly pointed to by az em1
inent LAWYER, who said. I'VE are not
ashamed of it nor of what has trans
pired within its walls" The greatness
of the county has grown up in that old
building. No wonder the people cling
to the old Court House and the assocla-
tions which it revives. The influence of
the bar and the county officers has had
much to do in shaping the character OF
the place. and to-day, with population
of perhaps one thousand, st. Clairsville
contains within her limits a large ma
iority of the able men of the county, and
is more potent in shaping public opln-
ion than any town in the county. In
addition to able men at the bar, her min
isters are noted for their power, and her
physicians are among the best. There
is also a class of retired people, who find
here a congenial social and Intellectual
atmosphere, as well as a place where
they can grow old gracefully and die ca
silly.
The Court House was the centre of at
traction to strangers; but aside from the
parties interested, the great damage suit
did not excite much attention.
VI 70 and
entered the Court room 1t is a small
room, nearly square, with the Judge
bench at the north side. the Jury on the
east, and the spectators on the south
and west sides. 4 small gallery extends
across the south side, and the whole
building would probably seat two hun
dred people. 1t is not grand building,
but like Mercutiu's wound, "it will do.
Here litigants get their full satisfaction
Just as though they threw their fortunes
away in marble halls or tesSelated pave
ments. Law is law, whether it emanates

1t generally settles the man that loses
the suit, and he is not interested i'll lux
urious surroundings.
An every day incident perhapS-but new
to us-was the presence of Judge VIM
Kennon. who, like ghost of the past
revisited the scenes of his trials and tri-
umphs. He has been stricken with par
alysis, and is unable 90 talk much, but
} to all appearances is the same grand old
imam as in the days of his power. He
has massive, well proportiOned head
bare in front, with fine white hair at the
sides and back; head that a phrenolO-
gist might select to illustrate the perfect,
iy balanced mind-great even in the de-
cline of its owner, like one of those
beautiful towers which mark an illus
trious spot. With Judge KennOn passes
away generation which has few worthy
successes.
