The talk of railway connection via
Beach city and CoshoCton, is becoming
an interesting question to Citi zens o
Canton. Now that The Valley railway is
assured, desirable connections are i'm
portant; and we know of no route more
worthy Of immediate consideration than
that by Coshocton. The track from Beach
city, in this county, to Coshocton, on the
Pan Handle r. R., is much of the way
nearly ready for the ties, and is to be
completed soon. From Canton to Beach
city, running through or near Navarro,
is distance of some fifteen miles. This
would be a valuable connection for the
Valley railway, and would be very desir-
able for Canton. Our business men
should consider this project without de.

The Republican Ring in Pennsylvania
like the machine Republicans in New
York, are very anxious to exclude State
issues from the State elections, Colonel
Hooten, Chairman Of the Pennsylvania
Ring Committee, issued howl of exul'
tation over the Ohio election. "State is
sues must watt" he cries, until the war
is over. He deeires the voters to attend
to the condition of things in South Car
olina and Mississippi before they look
after their own affairs, and he evidently
thinks that the election Of Ring candi-
date for State Treasurer in Pennsylvania
and the keeping of the public moneys
with the present Ring repositories, will
60 long way toward reforming matters
in the Gulf States.
But Col. Hooten's anxiety to divert at
tention from home matters Is natural.
The spoliations of the Treasury ring, the
attempted four million steal under the
Riot bill, and corporate expressions and
freight ,discriminations in contempt OF
the Constitution and laws of the Com
monwealth, as set forth in the Demo
cratic platform, ale not the most promis-
ing issues upon which to 60 to the peo-
Pile. Yet they are really the only issues
involved in this canvass for State Treas
urer. Col Hooten was himself a mo-
yer of the Gag rule in the Ring Conven-
ton, under which Investigator Wolfe
and Mapes were choked of, and the con.
vention was made to say that in view
of recent corruptions in connection with
the Riot BILL" the Republican party was
not sin favor of honest men in office"
What else could it say2 1t was not an
assemblage of honest and independent
delegates. It was the property of the
Treasury Ring. The Ring managers OF
the Convention were the managers OF
the Riot bill, and could hardly be ex.
pected to rise to the sublime height of
pronouncing sentence Of exclusion upon
themselves.
The Republicans of New York and
Pennsylvania may succeed in with
drawing the attention Of the people from
their own important concerns and fixing
it elsewhere. 1t is part Of the great plan
of strong government, in behalf of which
as the first irrevocable step, they pro-
pose to make Grant President for a third
term.-ET.

THE MANIA ABOUT THE SOLID
g0TTTH

The feeling of distrust, abuse and hate
of the South, in the Republicans Of the
North, exhibits all the symptoms of a
mania. 1t is full of irreleYanCy, IRA
tionality and untruthfnlness. Even your
local elections for State, county, city and
town officers are dominated by this feel
ing of hatred and distrust of the South.
1t is found in your bar-rooms, countingi
houses and pulpits. II is beyond reason
and, / fear, beyond remedy. l see no
evidence that the North ''is weary Of
sectional strife.n The Republican party
lives on and tbriVes by this sectional
strife, Bad men speculate on it, and
demagogles ply it as the best means Of
getting Office. .-Sendt0r Hill of Georgia

THE registration Of voters is completed
in New York city, and aggregates 1853, 143,
being fifteen thousand less than in 1879.
In New York the canvass is warm and
exciting, while in Philadelphia it is very
quiet. In Philadelphia, however, the
registration rolls up l93,69O, being rs,
SAT more than IN New York, while the
population of New York is in round
numbers 100000, and Philadelphia
100000. These figures demonstrate
where the fraudulent voting is to be
done. And this is the way that Pennsyl-
vania is usually made Republican.

NOT ON CoLoRED PAPER.

The Cleveland Leader has dispatch
from Fostoria, from one of the Foster
boomers, evidently, in which it is assert
ed that Wilkins's ballots were voted in
Henry county, printed on green paper.
This is Munchausen story Of the big
gest kind, in spite of the fact that the
honest Gibson asserted that there was
testimony to show that "the vote is ille-
gal, fraudulent, and intentionally 3d." 1t
always smuses the crowd to hear Glib.
son denounce fraud. It is so funny. The
TICKET referred to is not on Colored pa

THR Columbus Democrat says: We
are not sure but the defeat which the
Democracy of Ohio have Just undergone
may turn out to its advantage after all,
At all events, in some respects, it will
certainly work to our advantage in the
great contest next year, 1t will unite
the party and silence all wrangling'
There will be no disputing or bad feel
ing about the distribution of offices, be-
cause there will be none to distribute.
The party will be harmonious, because
there will be nothing to quarrel over.
The election last week was efectual in
silencing great many feuds. Unless
we greatly mistake the tendencies of the
day, the party next year will be in ac-
cord with the National Democracy. 1t
will have no legislative blunders to apol-
ogize for, nor no public officials to de-
fend. 1t will 20 into the race free from
ali burdens. On the other hand our op-
ponents will be at q disadvantage They
have official positions to fill, and a sena-
tor to fight over. Their wrangles are
about to begin. They have the Legisla-
ture, and will be responsible for its acts.
They will have to bear all the load that
| the acquisition Of the Legislature puts
upon them. The State Government, un-
like the General Government, is not a
political machine. 1t does not have suf-
fcient patronage to make it Of any ad-
vantage, politically. to the party in pow
er. As matter Of fact, therefore, so far
as the prospect Of carrying the State
next fall is concerned, the Democratic
party will have great advantages oyer Its
opponent, and will be much more likely
to succeed than If it had been successful
this fall. We do not doubt but that with
a good ticket and thorough organization
we can carry the State next fall.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
opinions from about sixty Republican
members of the next General Assembly
upon the Senatorial question. OF these,
thirty y.four express clear preference
for Gen. Garfield, and the rest are "scat-

Judge Taft and others. The members
from the northeastern part of the State
are for Garfield, Stark county members

THE death Of Senator. elect Brown, OF
the ss.Highland district, a Republi-
can, may result in a Democratic gain, as
the district is naturally Democratic. On
Governor, Ross gave Ewing majority Of
los, while Highland, close county, but
usually Democratic, gave Foster 1O5 ma
jority. Again, these would reduce the
Republicans in the Senate to 81, and In

Coming from stalwart Republican Or
gan, the st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
following estimate of Senator Thurman,
written in anticipation of his retirement
from the Senate, is worthy of note:
1t seems pity to lose him. He tow
ers so high above his fellow Democrats
in all that goes to make Senator, that
his departure will leave a vacancy on his
side Of the house that cannot soon be
filed. He has been the leader of his
party in that body for ten years. He
has seen the insignificant minority Of
nine, whom he Joined when he entered
the Senate in 1869, swell into controll-
ing majority numbering forty-one. And
through all the years Of unavailing OPP
position he met his opponents with cour-
age and ability, though not always with
conspicuous patriotism, Asa minority
leader he has few equals, and as a deba-
ter, he has no superior in the Senate.
1t wouldn't surprise us the least to see
Senator Thurman step into Mr.. Evarts's
shoes when he leaves the Senate, on the
4th OF March, 1881.

LETTER FROM LEADVILLE.
EDITOR TRUE NoRTuRRNER:

EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNRR:
Thinking the many readers Of the NORTH
ERNER would be glad to hear few words from
the greatest mining town in the world, take
the opportunity of giving few outlines.
Leadville is located one hundred and forty
miles southwest Of Denver, in California
Gulch, about seventy miles from the present
terminus OF the Denver, South Park and Pacific
X. R., Its destination being Leadvllc. The
place ut present contains from fifteen to twenty
thousand Inhabitants, composed Of every ma
tionality OF the globe, except Chinese. Tie
general health OF the city Is very bad. Sick
ness here is mostly caused by exposure and
poor whisky, yet there are some exceptions.
The place is building very fast, but mostly
cheap buildings. Rents are very high. A build
ing costing five hundred dollars rents for two
hundred and fifty per month. A slab shanty
in the suburbs rents readily for twenty dcllars
per month. Wages are good when employ
ment can be had. Carpenters $500 per day /;
masons and brick-layers, $500 blacksmiths,
$500; miners, $3.50; common labor, $780,
Board can be had for about seven dollars per
week, including lodgings. Yet there are hun
dreds OF men on the streets daily without work.
A stroll through Chestnut street, the business
street of town, would remind tyou OF cam
paign mass-meeting in Paw Paw or Decatur,
so far as the crowd is concerned. There are
at present three daily newspapers printed here,
scourt house, about thirty gambling houses,
three theatres, four dance houses, about fifty
houses of prostitution, score of saloons, and
five churches, all doing a thriving business.
There are too many men in town, everything
is overdone, from the professional down to the
boot -black; so l couldn't advise people to
come to Leadville.
