AsorHER proof Of the fact that the
Republican party's love for the Union
Soldier h mere sham, and their state
ments that Democrats are hostile 10
Federal Soldiers b FAR from true, can
be found In the action Of the two parties
in the State Of Ohio. The Republicans
nominated for Governor, Chas. Foster,
who was at home engaged In manufac-
turing cheap flags, and took care never
to get near enough to the front to smell
gunpowdcr. While the. Democrats
nominated Gen. Thomas Ewing for
Governor, and Gen. A. v. Rice for
Lieutenant Governor, both of whom
were brave, chivalrous Federal Soldiers,
and were st the front fighting rs best
they knew bow, during the darkest days
Of the country, and were crippled and
MANNED with confederate bullets. These
bloody shirt shriekers are trying to con-
vince people that these brave Federal
Genenls, who were i'm the thickest ofthe
fray, are Confederates, and that stay-at-
home Charley Foster, was, and is the
great friend of the Government and the
Union. Who need believe 1t? Who
win be thus deceived?

Oh, no, il isn't He wouldn't fight a
louise unless he thought he had dead
sure thing of IL. Everybody knows,
who know anything, that he is an un-
principled, ill-bred and ill-mannercd
braggadocio, sprung originally from the
slums. His marriage into a respectable
family gave him start in the world,
which his bullying and stage talents
have continued to push. He does not
even consider himself "A gentleman, and
he will wear the insult which Iris oflen-
siveness and vulgarity wrung from
Lamar meckly. His private life for
several years has been 50 equivocal that
no decent woman can afford 10 appear

10 get some Southern Senator TO kick
him into martyriom. Blaine knows
him.
4 man who would not attend his
daughters wedding because, in marry
ing an honest and worthy man, she was
"mnrrying beneath her." is generally
accounted bad-hearted fool; but, when
this had-hearted fool has himself sprung
from a low origin, the world is in the
habit Of applying a worse classification.
The affair between Blaine and Conk-
ling was "a lively passage between two
gentlemen" according 10 the Republi-
can vernacular of the time. The affair
between Lamar and Conkling, according
e. the same reviewers, is IAN exhibition

A man who deserts hls wife for an

glories in his infatuation and his shame,

One of the most disastrous fires that
ever cursed little town like ours, de-
vastated large square of the town,
about one o'clock on Friday morning,
the large tobacco warehouse of C.. B.
Wickliffe, was discovered to he on fire.
There was at the time about 10000
pounds of leaf tobacco i'm the house, i'm
bulk and scattered about on the floor.
When first discovered the flames were
just reaching the roof % the north east
corner. The flames spread rapidly, and
soon enveloped the whole building. set

also owned by Rice, thence to his large
tobacco stemmeryand manuflcturinges-
tablishment, and lastly to a log cottage
on same lot, thus consuming eight
buildings. Mr.. Wickliffe's loss Is about
as well as can be ascertained, $500,
upon which he had insurance to the
amount of s., 900; 81 900 upon house and,
1000 upon tobacco. He lost his hooks,
&c. Rice's loss about $4,000; no insur-
ance. Mr.. Rice lost Is hogsheads of
tobacco, priced, and about hogsneads

tured tobacco, fixtures, &c.
At one time the whole north end of
the town was in great danger of being
DESTROYED by the raging flames, i'm fact
had it not been for hard work by the
together with comparatively
calm night, the loss i'm buildings would
have been terrible. The dwellings of
Mrs. Harbin, Mr.. Baker, DIR. YOst and
J. A. Stokes were on fire several times,
and it seemed almost certain they would
be consumed.
This calamity has east a gloom over
our people, from the fact that it is
believed to be the work of an incendiary.
No one can imagine a suspicion as to
who it Is. 1t has thrown out of work
