A grand Republican Rally will be made
in this place on Monday, the 18th Of Sep
tember, at which Hon. Charles Foster,
the popular candidate of the Republican
party for Governor of Ohio, will be pres
ent to address the thousands that will be
present on that day. Gen. William Il.
Gibson, one of the ablest and most elo-
quent orators in the State, will be here
and will address the people on the great
questions of State and national interest.
Other speakers will probably be here and
address the people. Our central COM
mittee are making preparations to make
the largest and most interesting political
meeting that has been held in the county
since 1868.
Republicans, Democrats and men of all
political parties, lay aside your work one
day and come and hear the next Governor
of Ohio discuss the great questions that
are now agitating the country from one
end to the other. You will be we'll re-
paid for the time spent in coming to this
grand rallying of the people.

THE Democratic party of this State
have relied for political success this fall
upon the prophesy of General Ewing,
their standard-bearer, that the resump-
tiOn of specie payments would, in his
own language, I" assdssinate the business of
the country But resumption, in spite
of General Ewing and the Democratic
party, has been a success. 1t was Re-
publican measure, and, with resumption,
business of all kinds has improved, prices
advanced and work furnished for all who
wish to work. But our Democratic
friends tell ns- -that-theT abundance of
money in the country now is owing to
the fact that PROVIDENCE has given us
good crops. Admitting this to be the
fact, we ask, What hope can the Demo
cratic party have of success this fall
when they have the united Republican
party to contend against, aided by the
dispensations of kind Providence
When the Republican party and Provi-
dence are both against the Democratic
party, their prospects for success art
gloomy indeed, and they begin to show
evidence of a realizing sense of theil
awful condition.

are under the impression that there are
no streets in Venice. This is mistake.
There are hundreds-probably thousands
of narrow streets or windings, cross
ing the canals by bridges running in
every direction, filled with little shops. |
The Grand Canal, which forms letter |
in its windings through the city, is the !
main one, and until within few years |
was spanned by but one bridge, the
Rialto. Now a couple of iron bridges
cross it, we notice. The Rialto bridge has
twelve shops on either side of it. All
other canals are quite narrow, and are
crossed by hundreds of bridges. The
gondolas are about thirty feet long, sharp
at the ends, and are not allowed to carry
more than six persons, who are seated
compactly together in the centre. Two
gondoliers generally to a gondola, and
they propel it along while standing with
long oars, one at each end, in a manner
peculiar to Venice only. Our first even
ing in Venice, after promenading around
st. Marks Square and feeding the
pigeons, which light at your feet, we
/ took gondolas for a ride from the bay
through the Grand Canal by moonlight.
After getting our fleet fairly started, a
boat filled with singers (gondoliers) put
out after us and gave us quite a concert
at very little expense. These Italians are
naturally all good singers, and especially
those who follow the life of a gondolier.
We visited st. Marks Church, which
was commenced in the ninth century,
and dedicated to the saint whose name it
bears, and whose remains have lain be-
meath the altar since the ninth century.
The building is all marble. The five
hundred columns in the church, of valua-
BILE marbles, were gathered from all parts
of the world. The altar is richly embel-
. lished with marbles and precious stones
supported by columns of alabaster said
, to have belonged to Solomon's Temple
f The interior of the church is a mass OF
: Mosaic work. The party visited mum
, ber of other churches, whose interiors
e were marble and Mosaic. The Doge'!
2 palace was visited, and all its interior, in

t and instruments of torture which were

a bering that no man ever crossed thi
e bridge with the faintest hope of return

e the Doges. The evening before our de
# parture from Venice the proprietor c

''The Columbus Democrat SAYS; ssWe
say that the action of the YaZoO people
in the case of H. M. Dixon was right and
perfectly justifiable.' Why? HE tried
to stir. up war of races and incite the
negroes to insurrection and riot How?
His independent candidacy has turned
out an attempt to ineite riot and provoke
blOOdshed, and the intimidation on the
part of the people there necessary step
to defend their lives and homes against
imminent and deadly peril melted by
desperate villain, whom righteous re-
tribution has finally Overtaken.' Ohio
State journal.
The Democrat, as we understand, ap-
proved the action of ''the YaZoo peo-
pie, before their agent murdered Dixon
by firing upon his back with double
barreled shotgun. OF course the Demo-
crGt approves of the shooting. It believes
IN any amount of murder required to
silence and suppress opposition to the
Democracy in Mississippi. The murder
of Dixon is but a part of the regular pol
icy of the party, and must be defended as
such without reserve. But why defame
him? He was but the other day "the
bravest of the brave''-no light distinc-
ton In Mississippi, where personal cOur-
age is held in such great esteem. 1t was
also testified, before the Congressional
committee of investigation, that he was a
stoGSi Si"Ioneu Soubnern gentleman" He
sUOcu we'll among his neighbors until he
LeslsLeu the authority of the Democratic
party. Then he was doomed to die. The
c@nAEs @ thas he was adesperetely bad man
seems wholly gratuitious. His sins were
those oI the people about him. He had
committed COZ deeds of violence like Others.
| He was brave man, as his naiUhhore
testified, and rashly Thought he mioht
| defy the Caucus DEGREES Of his party'-
The penalty was death, and he Maid II.
The Democrat, as an organ of the Demo-
cratic party, has right to advocate the
enforcement of the DEGREES of the party
| with the shotgun, but it goes too far
when 1t ealumniates those appointed to
die for the sake of preserving the partisan
discipline. The thing to be done is sim.

STOCK ITEMS.

From the Pittsburg Price Current, Augustst 81
AS compared with last year, Ohio ha S
81 ,126 more cattle, 900, ,762 less hogs, and
257 ,557 more sheep. The hog-raising
business seems to be gradually working
Westward.
The railroads have been making better
time for a few months with stock trains,
and seem to be more accommodating than
of old. The relations between the ship
pers and the roads are very pleasant, and
we rarely hear a complaint.

Ously of Providence for blessing the

the fact that F" He doeth all things well. %

BIG quarters of beef, and 775 carcasses
of mutton.
There was a general expression among
stockmen that Monday and Tuesday We're
regular old-time days in the cattle trade,
such as we had in the brisk days just af-
ter the war. For several hours each day
there was grand rush for the scales, ,and
Weighmaster Dunkeld was kept son the
jump in managing the scales.
The shipments of cattle from East Lib
erty to New York have been largely in
creasing of late, and are attracting good
deal of attention from the statesmen in
depending wholly on heavy through
shippers for their trade are now casting
longing eyes in this direction.
Those engaging stock ahead at fixed
prices frequently never find the sFOppOr-
tunity' to ship it to advantage. Those
having cattle engaged, however, to be
taken in the last two weeks, have enjoyed
an exceptional chance, and are coming
out well. But this by no means vindi-
Gates the policy of fixing the prices of
stock to be taken months ahead.
NJ. F. Smith of Monticello, Ind, who
| is here this week with cattle, mentions
an act OH the part of the Pan Handle
Railroad which is deserving of cOmmen-
dation.. In unloading and feeding at Co.
| lumbus a bullock got away and was lost
After MIR. Smiths stock left the animal
was found, was put in a car by itself and
sent on, arriving in good time. Mr.. S. is
| the inventor of an ingenious device foI
preventing animals from throwing down
and jumping fences, on which he has ap.
| piled for patent. 1t is attached to the
ears and front of the head, and is simple
and effective.
