The STATE GRANGE of Ohio held its
annual convention this year in the Senate
Chamber. The Columbus Democrat, edited
by A. o. Myers, made some statements
refectlng severely upon the Grange. In
reference to these remarks we find the
following in the Cireleville Herald, of last
week:
At meeting of Scioto Grange, No. I6O
Kingston, held on the 18th ult, the follow.
ing resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
: ResOlved, 1. That we, the members o.
SciotO Grange, No. 16O, do most heartily
condemn the article that appeared in tht
Columbus Democrat of Dec. 18th, 1873, thai
30 basely and falsely misrepresented the
conduct of the Patrons OF Husbanday
while occupying the Senate ChambeI
during their State session.
2. That we deem such utterances on tht
part OF any person through the press, al
unworthy gentleman or patriot.
=. That copy of these resolutions bt
sent 10 the Cincinnati Grange Bulletin ant
other papers for publication.

One Henry ahl, of Seneca county, be-
came administrator OF the estate of his
mother in 1852, and sent to all but two or
three of the heirs the money (im gold)
coming to them. These two or three lived
in Iowa, and refused to send receipts till
he should send the money, which he like
wise refused to do. He, therefore, put
the Identical gold in a secure place, where
it has been until few days ago, when
those stubborn Iowains ''let up" and sent
in their receipts. In the meantime the
gold could have been sold as high as $2.s5,
or $l.s5 premium. 1t is just now as

There is an earnest controversy going
on among the Democrats, upon the ques-
ton of obliging Senator Thurman to ac-
cept the nomination for Governor OF
Ohio. He still strongly opposes it, and
in reply is told that if he is not willing to
risk anything for the party he cannot ex-
pect support from the Ohio Democrats in
the next National Convention. One OF
the latest com mplications IN the matter for
Thurman appears to be that the soft
monev Democrats are joining in the de-
mand that he shall run, not because they
like him, but because they think his sud-
den adoption of greenback views before
the last campaign may enable him to run
best on moderate Green back platform
which it is their purpose to insist uDon i'll
| the State Convention. Many of Thur
mans friends declare, however, that he
cannot afford to run on soft money
platform, and shall not. since tO. .io that ia
advance of the National Convention
would turn the whole money power o.
| the Eastern Democracy against him il
the National Convention. However, in
dicatiOns now are that Thurman will b.
obliged to yield to the pressure, ant
agree to accept the nomination if decided
TO make it. The greatest trouble now be
fore Thurman's friends is that the East
ern Democrats appear to be rapidly com
ing together upon Bayard as their candi
date.

The Democrats of this State are going

Cure Needed.


We do not presume that all the crime
In the country is the direct result of in
temperance, but we do assert it as a fact
that more than halfof the crime commit
ted In the United States is the result of
the incorporate use of intoxicating liq-
uors, and that just in proportion as the
use of Intoxicating liquors increase crime
and pauperism increase, in an equal ratio.
It needs no argument to prove the cor
rectness of this position; the evidence is
painfully all around us, and no man in
his senses. need be ignorant of the fact
Even the most suppliant slave to the
shrine of Bacehus will, in his sober mo-
ments, admit that intemperance is curse
70 himself, to society and to our whole
Nation; one that the dearest interests of
the human race demand shall be forever
expunged from the face of the earth.
Admitting this to be true; admitting
that the dearest interests of mankind re-
quiFe that a stop shall be put to the flow
and use of intoxicauts, the question then
is: chow is this to be effected ?'' The men
who manufacture the Intoxicating liquors
say to the men who drink them: "You
quit drinking and we will quit manufac-
turing, because there will be no market
for liquors." The men who drink, say
"YOu quit manufacturing intoxicants and
we win be obliged to quit drinking them,
because there will be none to drink"
In all the large cities of the country
and we may add, in all the towns ant
villages in the United States, we fear tina
the use of Intoxicating liquors is on tbs
increase--not excepting our own. II
proportion to population, perhaps, we are
equally cursed with drunkard- making es
tablishments with Cincinnati, or Boston
where, says the Rev. Joseph Cook, ether,

Is problem that needs to be solved.

La-cu-pi-a, taken internally, is digested
like food, and enters into the circulation.
Its first remedial action is upon the blood
and through that upon every part where
it is needed. In this way it purifies the
blood of excess of bile and acids, of all
foreign and morbid matter, and brings it
into healthy state. 1t aids nature in ex-
pelling the foreign and destructive ele-
ments by the lungs, stomach, bowels,
kidneys and skin. The whole system-ev-

In one of the New England States lives
a family, which in early days bore very
humble part in life. But, as time ad-
vanced fortune favored, until earthly
blessings seemed complete. Though for
the present the name is untold, yet its
influence to do good is the same, and il
gives to the>world wealth and health.
One member of this family was lady
in tile early flush of wOmanhood, witRH
pure, sweet and tender face, with dark,
glowing eyes, with coral-tinted lips, with
resy cheeks and amber curls. She-was as
graceful as a gaZelle, as light-hearted as
bird, and as spirited as an untamed ante
lope.
But as the frost destroys the fairest
flower, so does disease the most perfect
woman. Disease, with its greatest malice,
| slipped at her life and rioted for her de-
struction; and she, who was so young, so
beautiful, and so full of promise, was
| dragged from natures most royal throne
| and prostrated, helpless and dying be-
| fore the king of terrors, who bafhed all
skill. Physicians turned away with nc
encouraging word, and from their eyes
were read these thoughts: ''She soon
must die" But one morning, as death
! seemed to be folding her in his icy en-
| brace. and the golden sun was striving
with the purest light to make the last o
earth appear most beautiful, Ada, SLOWLY
opening ner eyes, Ialully dul dAulOo
voicelessly said 70 her brother: EChaI lie

was almost madness for her to think o

all efforts to restore her had been in vain
and that she was dying there. Her earn
estness filled him with the hope that b.
granting her request she might live; AM
though death seemed near, yet the
went. Passing along the bank of tn
stream, among the trees, suddenly wit
one wild cry of joy, she exclaimed

A CORRESPONDENT of the Sunday Com
msrciaI intimates that there is an effort |
being made by interested parties who as
sumo to lay out the work for the Repub-
licans, to secure the nomination Of Hon.
Jas. A. Garfield for Governor, and Char
ley Grosvenor, of Athens, for Lieutenant
Governor. The plan is, if the Republi-
can party shall carry the Gubernatorial
election, and elect majority of Repub-
lieans to the Legislature, to place Garfield
in the United Senate, and thus secure to
Grosvenor the Gubernatorial chair.
The thing looks very pretty on paper:
but such a result is neither practicable nor
desirable. Whatever preferences there
may be among Republicans for Garfield,
to pack him down with Grosvenor on his
back, expecting to carry him into a posi-
ton he could not obtain on his own pop
ularity, would be to break down the
ticket. 1t would be the defeat of Garfield,
if not of the whole Republican ticket in
the State. If Garfield should be the nom-
fnee (the propriety of which we doubt),
he must be put upon the ticket free from
, dead weights. There must be no settling
: things up by selfish politicians, whC
= think there can be no political success fol
+ the Republican party unless they are al
: lowed to boss the whole job; and who
!. always, in all their political movements
h have personal ak to grind.

It is curious fact that while Americans
of all shades of opinion and intelligence
have been, until quite recently, doubtful
ofthe ability of the Secretary Of the Treas

no European writer has questioned his
power. In England and France the
thought of the strength of the u. S.
Treasury at this time to make U. S. notes

serve is ample for all purposes. The truth
is, we shall go right along with resump-

STOCK ITEMS

From the Pittsburg Price Current. Dec IS 1873

usual, and also corresponding falling
of in the demand for them.
Some men claim that nearly all the so
called grass-cattle have been run out, and
that they will have TO commence upon the
winter feeding stock to supply the mar
ket.
From the number of cows that are sold
on this market we think the Western
farmers must be stocking their lands with
younger breeders, or different breeds.
1 We hope, at least, that the mass of them
are filling up the vacancies with some
thing better, and which will command
better prices when fed out for market.
The reports of heavy snow storms and
the blockading of roads west have an en-
couraging effect upon our Eastern buy
ers at this point and spring prices. Stock
is nearly all sold on arrival.
During the last week several trains of
cattle, both East and West, have been
considerably behind time. This, of
course, to some extent, tends to cause the
Eastern market to f1uctuate more or less
and disappoint the calculations of the
owners.
