Westerville is a village in Franklin

Westerville is village in Franklin
county. Until about the time of the
great crusade, no intoxicating liquors
were sold in the village. A man
named Corbin opened out there, and
has held his position. Several weeks
ago the liquor shop of Corbin was
blown up, and it is said that there
must have been two kegs of gunpow-
der under the building. The Demo-
Gratis tried to make political capital
out of the affair, and the Columbus
Democrat ranted and raved, and abused
the Republicans, and especially the
temperance Republicans.
We never had any doubt but that
Corbin himself, or some of his friends
did the mischief, although, until last
week. we never heard a hint in that
direction. Our reasons for coming to
the conclusion that Corbin is the
criminal, are these: 1t must have
been almost impossible for person
not connected with the establishment,
to get two kegs of gunpowder under
the building, and then so arrange that
they could be fired, as the liquor shop
must have been very public place,
where persons would be going in and
out, both day and night The build
ING was also used as residence. But

MackIey. of the Jackson Standard, II inmates
Blaine and Foster as the Republican ca d dlda{es
for President and Vice President in 1880. Not
a bad ticket, surely; but what becomes of Mack
ley's emphatic declaration that not one of that

becoming unstable. The next thing we expect
venor for the United States Senate Il Pomeroy
telegraph.
We believe Bro. Chapman is a
Methodist, and we Methodists believe
in the possibility of a change Of heart.
We believe Bro Chapman was on
the top of Pixies Peak when Foster,
Hayes, and all the Wormley Hotel
crowd repented, and confessed and for
sock their sins. We then gave our
reasons for restoring them. We hold
no malice, and we have no reason to
doubt the genuine character of their
repentance and conversion. We did
good work for Foster during the re-
cent campaign, and we could now sup
port Garfield, or Dennison, or Sher-
man for U. S. Senator. We do not
know about Grosvenor. lie he should
profess repentance and conversion, we
would require him to wear sackcloth
for six months, and sprinkle ashes
upon his head, and wear gravel IN his
boots.
Now word with you, Bro. Chap
man. We have never lowered ou1
flag an inch to the Wormley Hotel
gang, and we never will. We remem-
ber you said once, that if Hayes should
do a certain thing in favor Of the reb,
els, and against Southern Republicans
he would be despised by all honorable
men, or words to that effect. We
told you Hayes would do it, and he
did, in a few weeks. You said yor
did not like to be scooped by Mackley
but you quietly acquiesced. We dle
not. Now Hayes has come to our po

Hon. Geo. W. Williams Of Cincin-
natl, the colored man elected to the
Ohio Legislature, is in the State OF
New York making Republican speech
es. A dispatch in the Cincinnati
Times says Williams was refused per-
mission to enter the dining-room of a
leading hotel in New York City, but
it was proposed to send him his break
fast to his room. He refused this, as
he had been invited there by the Re-
publican committee.
Now let the name of this leading
hotel be given. and let the Republican
press Of the United States give it such
an advertisement as hotel never had
before.

When the news Of the overwhelm-
ing defeat of Ewing and Rice was re-
ceived, we predicted that the Democ-
racy would nominate Union General
for President, and we named in pri-
vate conversation, that Gen Hancock
would be the man. And now comes
the New York Sun, Democratic, and
suggests Gen. Hancock as the man.
The Democratic party is always sure
to do some foolish thing. The order
issued by Gen. Hancock, to the colored
people, Immediately after the murder
of President Lincoln, directing them
to pursue the murderer, and capture
him at all hazards, will forever ruin
him among the old copperhead, rebel
Democracy.
The shallow trick of running rene
gade soldiers by the rebel Democracy
has been tried so often, and has failed
so often, that the party by this time
should begin to learn some common
sense lessons; but it seems to be I'M
possible for improvement in that dl-
rectiOn.

Hamburg Butler has been giving
exhibitions, in New York, of the hu-
name manner in which the Democrats
in the South used to chase colored
men with bloodhounds. Mr.. Butler
employed colored man to run about
in the Park, when he (Butler) set the
dogs after him. The object was to
show that these dogs would not bite
the fugitive after they caught him.
For the amount of capital invested, it
is said to have been a very good show.
Now let Butler show some more OF
the beauties of Southern life. He
should skirmish around and try to
find colored man who is willing to
come North, and have three or four
loads of buckshot fired into him, in
order to prove to the benighted people
of the North that it doesn't hurt to
be bull-dozed. Mr.. Butler should cir-
culate himself about the North, freely.

It is pretty generally agreed among
Republicans, that the Legislature next
winter should repeal the act of the
late lamented O'Connor Legislature,
which re-districted the State for Con-
gressional purposes, and place the
Congressional districts as they former

Jackson county. Either the present
district, OF the old one, with Gallia

the most conclusive evidence is the
fact that the family resided in the
building, right over the liquor room,
and the family pretend to have been
in their room, and in bed, and asleep,
when the building was destroyed, and
vet not one of them was in the slight
est degree injured.
The detectives have been engaged
for some time, and they had so worked
up the case that last week Corbin was
arrested. On the preliminary exami-
nation he was acquitted; but the be-
lief is very strong in that vicinity that
he is guilty, and perhaps the end is
not vet.
