plication OF diasape We have in oul
township many aged Citzsns who have
passed eventfullives insolying the prob
lem of existenee, and who, in the natu'
al order of things, must soon be called
upon to solve the problem of death
Men and women, who, as 1t were, are
standing with one foot in the grave, look
ing to blessed immortality beyond the
grave, and who must soon pass over the
waters of the vast DeYond-the grea
Perhaps.
On Sunday morning last we had
grand display of thunder and lightning
during which Andrew Strong had his
only two cows killed. In the distribu

elimination might be made as to the per

the loss. aao H...
BY the way, what kind Of an invest
mont would it be if we had another civil
war, or few frst-class earthquakes, if
thereby we could get rid of Talmsge's
sermons, now being published in great
many papers2 There is an old proverb
about there being "too much of good
thing" &c. t....
Within the past six months we have
had two new iron bridges put over the
Mahoning in our township. One by
the Canton Bridge Company and one by
the Massillon Bridge Company. They
are both good jobs, and it is no dispar'
agement to the Canton company when
we say we think the Massillon company
pnt up the best one.
The removal of Thomas Murray from
here to his old stamping ground at Can
ton makes quite hole in this pant of
Cheesedom. Tom is capital, good fell
low, and if you of Canton don't take
good care of him, we will take him away
from you again.
As a matter of information, can you
tell us what has become of Major Nc
Kinley i'r, who was so recently 10.

nothing from him for some time, his
friends are anxious as to his fate,
Our Republican friends seem much
exercised in regard to the move to en-.
uuire into the morality, if nothing else,
of Keilogg's seat as a Senator frou Louis
lana. They charge that it is a scheme
to retain controlling majority in the
Senate. They have probably forgotten
the action of a Republican House of
Representatives, in ousting Gen. George
w. Morgan from his seat in the House,
to which he was elected by some 800 ma
jorlty, and seating Delano, who was Nor
gan's competitor. There was no charge
of fraud, and the only excuse for 80 out
rageous proceeding was, that an unre-
constructed rebel acted as judge of elec-
tion in one of the townships in Musk.
ingum county; but the real motiye was
to return controlling two-thirds mai
ity against Andrew johnson. The Re-
publicans, however, have always opposed
investigation into matters connected
with the purchase of seats in tie Senate,
as was notably the fact in the case of
Jones of Nevada, who not only bought
his seat, but boasted of and justified it
So also in case of Patterson of South
Carolina and others.
Does it occur to the minds of our Re.
publican friends, that during the Kansas
troubles they put, or attempted to put
rider on an army appropriation bill, pro
hibiting the use of the army in Kansas
for any purpose. When the army was
in the hands of Democrats it was wrong
10 use it too. In the language of Hayes:
Maintain the Constitution and the
laws, and preserve unimpaired the
efficiency of the Executive department
of the Government" 1t was entirely
wong, in their opinion, to use the army
to enforce the laws of the United States
in territory, but it was entirely proper
to use the army, when under Republican
control, to enforce State laws on
election day. 1t is true, Hayes
says he will not use the army at the
polls, but what confidence is to be placed
in the word of man who has no more
honor than to take an Office to which he
knows he was not elected, and that he
knows was secured to him by fraud, and
who has paid, in official patronage, all
who were concerned in perpetrating
che fraudP ..r ,..~l ..,yy
