The Cincinnati Commercial has overwhelm.
Ing evidence Of the existence Of a new rebel
lion in the South In the shape OF two poems
written by Herman. of the Okolona Southern
States, and Hoskins, in the Lexington Miss,
Advertiser. It places Its chief reliance on
Kernans ballad, entitled Southland" a
poem that Is rather vague In meaning and
decidedly crooked in metre and rhymes. The
most rebellious utterances In this ballad, in
the eyes OF the Commercial. is Kernan's
reference to the South az "the cradle OF def
ferson, Calhoun and Davis line which this
Cincinnati paper republishes in capitals and
call on the people of the South to strike
for States rights" Perhaps the poetic
declaration that the South is the loveliest
land this side of paradise is also regarded as
reasonable and rebelious But the CONNER

The excitement over the adoption Of the
new constitution In California is reported to
have greatly subsidized. Just after the news
of Its success WAS received, the capitalists set
up the cry that the State was ruined; that 1t
was impossible for them to live In California
under this communistic constitution. and
that ali the banks, railroads and mining cor
porations of the State would have to move to
Nevada or some other neighboring State at
once. This feeling, however, soon wore off,
and an immense majority Of all the people Of
the Golden State, capitalists as well as work
ingmen, now accept the popular verdict In
good faith. What is now needed, they say, is
good Legislature and efficient judiciary to
give just and proper Interpretation to the
new constitution. 1t is feared that Kearney
and men Of his extreme Views, encouraged
by their success In the vote on the constitu-
ton, will gain possession OF the Legislature
and judiciary, and interpret the new State
law as communistic and socialistic To pre-
vent this 1t Is now proposed to organize a
new party In the State, to be styled the "Con-
stitutional party" and to be composed, like
the late non partisan ticket, Of members Of
the two old parties, the Democrats and Re-
publicans Such is the hope and aim Of those
who favor the new constitution but fear Kear-
neyism. Such union and the consequent
birth of a new party In California seem
scarcely possible. Under the threat of over
whelming defeat, the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, some months since, united in support
OF the non-partisan ticket for delegates to the
constitutional convention. This union, how
ever, was a feeble one, and each party be-
trayed the other on the first opportunity.
The result was that a majority OF the men
elected to the constitutional convention as
anti Kearneyites acted with the so-called
Workingmen's party In framing working
mems constitution. That the fate of the
present constitution OF California hangs upon
the election Of the next Legislature and
judges is unquestionable. The constitution
Is full of crudities and contradictions, and q
hostile judiciary would find no difficulty in
tearing 1t to pieces.

No one has yet been hurt in the terrific wal
now waging between three Of the South
American Republics, but we are In daily ex-
pectation Of hearing Of q general or two be-
Ing killed. The war will be essentially war
OF generals. This the blue books OF Peru,
Bolivia and Chill clearly demonstrate. The
Chilian army Is only moderately supplied
with officers, there being but one general to
every 800 and one colonel to every sixty men.
In fine there is only one commissioned officer
to every five men. Bolivia makes far better
showing. Its army consists Of eight generals.
1913 officers OF lower ranks and 976 men, so
that there Is no lack Of officers to lead this
gallant army on to victory. 1t is only due to
these Bolivian officers to say that they are
patriots as we'll as soldiers, and have just an
nounced their determination to take the same
rations as privates as long as the present war
continues --

The great American obituary poet denies
the statement that Grants friends are urging
him for the Pre- sidency. Childs says this Is

to say that they are opposed to the whole

old man would be justified In accepting the
nomination IL 1t is forced on him. Exactly SO !!

A very important conference is being held
In Paris In reference to the proposed canal
through the Isthmus Of Darien. Almost all
the leading commercial nations OF the world
will be represented at this conference France,
the United States, England. Belgium, Spain.
Holland, Hungary and Switzerland having
sent full delegations. The conference will
discuss the latest government surveys Of the
various routes across the Isthmus, and the
merits OF each OF them. It Is believed that 1t
will report In favor OF the Nicaragua route,
up the San Juan river, and through Lake
Nicaragua. The scheme OF a canal across the
Isthmus is now being actively agitated In
Europe, and 1t 10 more than probable that It
will be begun Ia earnest In very short time.

IT is announced that Calico Charlie
is to be here on Wednesday next, Sept.
Nth, accompanied by that " honest
money" patriot, W. H. Gibson of State
Treasury notoriety. William should
not fail to explain his connection with
the grand steal BY which the Treasury
and people of Ohio were defrauded
out of $500, 900, and how and why it
was that when Breslin was charged
with the plunder, he, Gibson, swore
that the money was all in the Treasury
and exhibited receipts signed by him
self, giving day and date, to prove that
Breslin was not defaulter; and how
it was that after the defalcation was
ascertained and charged upon him,
(Glbson) he swore that Breslin was
the rogue, and that all his former afi. /.
dayits were untrue-bald perjuries-
how he was prosecuted and convicted
of the steal and afterwards. through
the favor of his friend, Judge West,
escaped merited punishment by the
.nollying of the indictments and the
State lost every dollar thus stolen from
her Treasury. He is a sweet scented
posy to be going around the State
preaching honesty to the people. Will
General Gibson please enlighten the
people on this matter7 They want to
know, you know.

tage County Democrats, or the DEM
ocrats anywhere denounced the "war

absurd" but absolutely false.s The up
shot of the whole matter is that the
Democratic National Convention of
1854, weary of the flow of blood and
waste of treasures resolved-what was
then q manifest truth-thst the war
having failed to restore the Union,
they were in favor of general con-
vention of the States in order to ac.
complish that end by peaceful means,
believing that the Union could thus
be restored with all the rights, digni
ty and equality of the several States
unimpaired. Upon that resolution the
Republican papers and politicians
have based the bald lie that the DEM
ocrats pronounced the war a failure.
Equally false is that other assertion
that the Democrats of Portage County
called the Union soldiers "Lincoln
hirelings." Whatever some individu .
ais may have said and done in this
regard, it is downright demagogueism
to attempt to charge such utterances
to the party generally. But this is
done by the Chronicle and its echoes
to work upon the prejudices of their
readers that the power of the Repub-
lican party and its corrupt and ep-
pressive policy may thereby be per-
petnated.I.aH 2ni9ohS as1ols

HIR AM.

Last Monday was laid the corner
stone for the new boarding hall. Com
trary to custom and tradition. the stone
was placed on the top of the g. e. cor
ner, instead of at the bottom of the N.
F.. corner, which all good Masons Of
the mystic order will appreciate.
There is an excavation in the stone
which contains an iron box, in which
the treasures selected by Pres't Hins-
dale were placed. The treasure con.
sists of q condensed history of the col
lege, the three literary societies, and
hall. copy of Cleveland Leader and
Herald, Republican Democrat, Gar.
rettsville journal, Christian Standard,
and the Collegian. It will be observed
that no Democratic paper was deposit
ed, although several are gratuitously
contributed to the College Reading
Room. We are not aware of any rea-
son for this neglect to perpetuate inn
partial history, except it be that of
contempt entertained bya portion of
the faculty towards o great historic
party. The builders of the hall have
solicited and obtained funds from
Democrats. The solicitors for the Col
lege have been, and are now, soliciting
patronage from Democrats. And DEM
ocrats have heretofore patronized the
institution more literally in proportion
to the population, than Republicans;
for there are no deadheads among DEM
ocratic students. The action Of Mr..
Hinsdale, in neglecting to place
Democratic paper with the deposits in
the corner stone, is regarded by some
as q contemplate insult, direct slap
in the face, and we are pleased to say
that but few, if any Republicans, ap-
prove the action,
1t begins to be rumored that Mr..
Hinsdale wearies of his pulpit labors,
and intends TO enter the political arena,
and that his first move is to represent
this District in Congress-. He has an
right to do so; and per-
haps this little act will lift him into
prominence among the Ditch politi-
clans, and assist him somewhat in OBJ
tanning a nomination. But candid
people will question his right to sacri-
flee an institution for his own interest
and advancement. Such acts have
tendency torepel, rather than attract,
good wifi-and patronage. We suggest
that the trustees of the college educate
q portion of the faculty to extend to
their patrons the common proprieties
of civilized people. 8.b t5 ~
