The following appeal was sent to our
local Union some two months since by
the Chairman of the Committee ap-
pointed at the last State Convention of
Ohio, W. G. I. u, held at Toledo, June
I3, 1879. At that time the country was
in that condition of unrest so unavoid-
able when an important election is pend
ing, and it was deemed wise to delay its
publication. Now, when the smoke Of
battle has blown away, and men are
calmly viewing the result, we appeal
to the citizens of Washington to seri-
ously consider whether a society for the
promotion of law and order shall not be
organized in this place. By order Of
the W. G. T. U.
LAW AND ORDER SOCIETY.
Lawlessness abounds. The vigorous, faithful
and impartial enforcement Of law, would prove
a revival Of patriotism. Every interest we hold
sacred demands that law be enforced, and that
order be preserved. IL this is not done the law
less will soon make laWlessness lawful, and an
archy Will prevail, ana our persons ana Ianal-
lies and property will be unprotected. Laws are
to-day violated openly, persistently, especially
BY the rum power.
This is the beginning Of the end.
II one class Of men can tTample upon law and
order why not any class, why not all classasr
Christianity, patriotism and our love Of homer
all combine in prompting Us TO seek vigorous
ewecution Of the laws. This is the design Of claw
and order SOcieties" An object so definite,
laudable, patriotic and christian that we say
with DR.. Crosby, and those associated with him,
tAlI honest men, officials as well as private cit
liens, are heartily in sympathy with this work.
II would be the beginning Of new dtspensation
Il the uprising Of the people in behalf Of the en-
forcsmant Of law should bsgiR and sweep over
the land"
We therefore ask you TO organize CLAW and
Order Society" in your town, call into united
and active support all good citizens
Act promptly, wisely, vigorously. For consti-
tuition, ETC., address,

The White sulphur Springs property was again
offered sale to-day under the decree of the United
States Court and was sold. Captain A. +. Mathews,
brother of Governor Mathews. of this State, became
the purchaser at the sum of $500. 900. The terms
are ten per cent cash when the sale is confirmed by
in instalments payable in one. two, three,
four and five years, with interest added.
The announcement that Captain Mathews
was the successful bidder took everybody by SUR
PRISE it was generally understood that Mr.. Will
lam A. Stewart, who owns nearly si0O000 in the
bonds and stocks of the springs Company, would be
the purchaser. AT u meeting OF the commissioners
for the sale OF the property held this evening IL was
decided TO recommend to the Court that the sale
made to-day be confirmed, and IL Is the neral belief
that the Court will decide in favor of today's sale
unless much larger bid be made between this
date and the lst OF November. when the Court
meets. Some believe that W. A. Stewart will make
this higher bid and eventually become the pro-
prietor. should Mr.. Stewart make the advance, a
new sale will be ordered the property viii be again
put up at auction and started ut the amount offered
Captain Mathews and the parties he represents

Austria Hungary toward the aged Sovereign of Ger
many forms a marked and much noticed contrast to
the strange behavior OF the Gar whose friendly feel
ing for his Imperial uncle appears to have recently
undergone decided change. Some people assert
that the Emperor Alexander, in order pub
licly to contradict the alarming rumors
prevalent with regard to the increasing
GOODNESS between him and tho Berlin Cabinet con-
templates visit to Konigsberg during the Emperor
wlhems approaching sojourn there on the
sion OF the autumn man9uvres of the Prussan
army. do not know how much credence may be
attached to these statements which, perhaps merely
emanate from quarters intent on denying. at
least lessening the effects of the alleged breach be-
tween Russia and Germany. A very interest
ing explanation of the real causes of
estrangement between these hitherto
friendly neighbors is given by the Kreu-
Zeitung, the organ of the High Conservatives,
which, since the latters reconciliation with the gov
ernment again enjoys quite exceptional sources of
information. The Cross Gazette, in dilating the
separation of Russia from the joint action of the
other great Powers OF Europe in the Egyptian ques-
ton, asserts that her hostility to Germany the chief
reason of her present isolation, instigated by
bitter feeling of resentment for Germany's in
gratitude and utter oblivion OF past SER
vices In laying particular stress these
motives. the Kyeus Zeit.ng haughtily excaims that
Prince Bismarck, in spurning most tempting offers
made to him by the st. Petersburg Cabinet declined
to render his country. whose interests identi-
cal with those Of Europe. subservient to the selfish
ambitions of the Muscovite Empire. In reading this
remarkable article, which throws quite new light
the political questions of the last few years.
GREETED exceedingly the reticence OF the
tive paper in not more boldly lifting the veil from
the mysterious bats by which Germany was to be
completely drawn to the side Of her Northern
neighbor To judge from the irritation at present
manifested by the Russian government toward this
country, 1 very much doubt whether the Czar will
really be among the distinguished company to
semble round the Emperor Wilhelm at K0nigsberg
