that senator hereford is alive to the
interest," "a this State, and especially
70 The Third District. We clip the
following from a Washington dis.
patch to the Cincinnati papers
The IMPROVEMENT OF THE KAsAw.
AVN RIyER.-The Senate today pass
ed bill authorizing the condemna-
ton Of private property and the pur-
chase Of sites for the improvement of
the Kanawha river in accordance
with the recommendation Of Govern
ment engineers and the previous ac-
lions Of Congress. Under this bill
the money appropriated By the bill
OF last session is to be used for the
purpose specified. Senator Hereford,
with his accustomed energy. pushed
this bill through. He maintains in
the Senate the reputation for energy
he made in the House when he was
the active spirit Of the Commerce
Committee, and never failed to urgea
liberal appropriation for the james.
Senator Wade Hampton in speak
ing of the complaint made against
the South for sending Confederate
officers to Congress, said:
at had been complained that Con-
federate officers were sent here as
Legislators. Nearly avery man=in5
the South bore arms, and she could
hardly be blamed for trusting her in
'teiests in peace to those who risked
their lives and fortunes for her in
war. He thought if the North had
honored in like manner those who
fought her battles, the legislation of
the country would not be so embit-
tered by sectional strife. When the
North invited the Southern States
to return to the Union, was she sin
cere? Or did she only wish them
back to govern them as rotten bor-
oughs? If sincere, she should be
glad that they sent their best and
lionercd men to represent them"
The statement made in our last is
sue that an attempt is being made to
unite the Republican vote with that
of the Greenbackers, in a combined
effort to defeat the Democratic ticket
in this county, seems to have stirred
up the bile and bad blood of the edi-
tor of the Mason County department
in the League and Courier"
Senator Carpenter made the asser.
ton the other day in his place in the
Senate that sat present there is no
such thing as trial by jury in the
Federal Courts; that the trial is by
the marshal and clerk, who can pack
"a jury to convict or acquit, as they
please"
We are pleased to learn that
throughout the county the appeal
for harmony by true lovers of Democ-
racy is being received with great
favor, and all those who are striving
to keep up the strife are being severe
ly rebuked.
While Generals Ewing and Rice
were fighting to preserve the Union,
Charles Foster was at home running
a corner grocery and selling corn
juice, and yet the stalwarts will con-
tend that Foster represents all the
"loyal' in Ohio.
1t is but few weeks until the
election, and it is the duty of every
Democrat to use all his influence
from now until the day of the cleo
ZION lot the success OF MS tlcket.
See that every Democratic voter is
out at the poll, on election day. By
constant work, and unity of action,
our whole ticket will be elected by
handsome majorities.
Facts for the People.
The only hope the Republican par.
ty has Of maintaining an existence,
is in keeping to the front false issues
and appealing to the passions rather
than the reason. 1t is not at all
complimentary to the intelligence of
the Republicans to believe that they
