Artistic Photography.

Gallipolis has lately taken first pc.
sition in the making of fine photos.
Through the enterprise of Mr.. w. J.
Fenner, Of Second street, we have a
gallery second to none in the Ohio
Valley. His poses are natural, his
shading delicate and his toning of
that tint which imparts life to the
expression. The number of promi-
nent citizens whose photos are ex.
hibited, shows the appreciation in
which his work is held. His ele-
CANT reception rooms are daily crewd-
ed. We understand Mr.. Fenner has
made preparations for doing work in
Crayon, Indian ink and Solar pict-
ures. The latter are photos of i'm
mense size enlarged from small pho
tos. These surpass oil paintings in
merit, and are much cheaper. Some
of them will be on exhibition soon.-

Nominate Him.

1t is now said that the leading
Democrats ofthe country-including
Thurman, Bayard, Hendricks, Ew.
ing and others-will make n united
call upon Ex-Governor Seymour to
become the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, and that he will car
ry New York, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, with several doubtful
States. If the Republicans believed
this they would have Horatio in an
insane asylum in a short time
They wanted to put him there when
ne was a candidate before, and his
chances for election were not half as
good as now.

The Way They Do.

When the report, that the Repub.
llcans in New York contemplated
fraudulent returns to cheat the Dem.
ocrats out of their victory, was first
telegraphed to the press for publica.
ton it was accompanied with an as.
sertion that the Republicans had
telegraphed Blaine to come for con.
sultation. Nothing could be moro
natural. 1t seems to be universally
understood that he is very expert in
anything pertaining to political chi.
canery, and his services are sure tc
be called for on such occasions.

EurOpe.

Europe seems to be in a state of
terrible excitement. The great pow
ers are watching each other with an
eagle eye.
England is planting naval stations
on the Black sea, in consequence of
which there is wide spread excite
ment and feeling of uneasiness in
Russia. Turkey and England are
not getting along very well, and
Russia and Prussia are quarreling
over certain river privileges on their
border.
Spain is having trouble with her
Cuban subjects and her disastrous
floods, while poor Ireland is in a
dreadful condition; gaunt famine
like a grim visaged specter menaces
her; and her landed aristocracy are
ejecting from their premises the poor
tenantry who, on account of drought,
are unable to pay the enormous rents
demanded.

Setllt fI,e I,IectoraI Count.

The one most important thing
which Congress should settle at its
coming session, if nothing else is
done, is the question relative 10
counting the electoral vote.
1t onght not to be forgotten that
very recent events have disclosed a
weakness in our legal machinery for
handling this subject that ought not
to be neglected. The close equality
in the strength of the two political
parties in the coming Presidential
contest is a constant reminder and
a warning against postponing the
matter.
We canno. afford again to risk the
dangers which threatened at the
time Of the last election, or the de-
cision Of the Presidency by a parti-
san vote, no matter which party is
in the ascendency.
There have been two propositions
discussed for the settlement Of this
question. One is that, in case of a
double set Of electors returned from
any State, neither shall be counted
unless both houses shall agree to it.
The other provides that no States
electoral vote shall be excluded un-
less both houses so decide in concur
renee.
Both parties have manifested q
disposition to keep the question OPP
en-, but, unfortunately, neither has
entirely forgotten its partisanship
sufficiently to allow a decision to be
had upon principles dictated by wise
craftsmanship and the safety Of the
country.
The Democrats have now majority
in both houses, aud it is for their in.
terest to have the question settled.
So will they have the two houses
when the presidential vote is count.
ed, but they will not always have
them, and they can well afford to set
tie the plan of decision now to set
tie it without reference to party adj
vantage, and they will deserve and
receive the thanks Of the whole
county.-Register.

The Census.

The census Of the United States is
to be taken next year. For that pur-
pose the country will be divided into
$50 districts, requiring the labor of
twenty thousand persons, that the
entire. work may be completed in
the month of June. By that census
it is thought most of the states will
increase their delegation in Congress,
but no one so much as Texas, whose
representation will jump from s to
p; and best of all, it will be solidly
democratic and don't you forget IL.

The situation in Virginia is thus
pointedly epitomizcd by the Lynch
burg Ne,Us:
This legislature cannot repeal the
Nc Colloch act. The Governors We
to settles that question. They can.
not prevent taxes being paid in Gu.
pons. The courts have settled that.
Therefore if they should make ap-
preparations for the support of the
free schools and expenses of the gov
eminent and refuse to make appro-
priations for interest on the public
debt, and should cut down taxation
for that purpose, the cupons would
still pay the taxes and these wise,
acres would simply stop the wheels
of State government; simply damage
the State credit. They would be
gnawing q file. The truth is they
can do nothing but agitate and by a
coalition with the Radicals grab the
offices. The probability is that their
ambition and patriotism will bs sat
isfied with this.

ThePresidentiaI outlook.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, a mod
crate Republican paper, is not en-
thusiastic over Republican prospects
for the approaching Presidential
election. In a table, which it says
is "the best that can be done in the
way Of presenting table Of the
electoral vote of 1880 favorable to the
Republican party" it gives as Ger.
tain Democratic States all the South
ern States and Indiana, making 1853
electoral votes. In the doubtful
States it places Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey, with SO cleo
toral votes, claiming the remaining
Northern and Western States, with
1865 votes, as certain for the Republi.
cans. There are necessary to a choice
1856 votes, which the Republicans
will not have, even if the Is votes Of
New Jersey and Connecticut be ad-
ded to their l66, unless they get Now
York, and which, and more, the
Democrats will have if they get New
York. That, in fact, is the only
State they want to make their cleo
ton sure. Hence the Inquirer re-
CARDS New York az the battle-ground,
and it concludes that nothing but
hard, intelligent work from now un-
til the day of the Presidential cleo
ton will avail, and even with all
that the result will be in doubt" -Er.

The Gallipolis Ledger, Republican,
isopposed to the nomination ofGrant
for President. Here is what it says:
"The reason we do not desire to see
General Grant nominated is that the
mere putting forward of candidate
for a third term by q great, patriotic
party would be 80 powerful a sanction
Of an approach to monarchy that we
should consider it one of the most
dangerous steps ever taken by any

defeat for the Democracy than was at

State ticket, with one exception
that of Mr.. Seymour.
