If other oatmeal mills should be built

Ii is but justice to Hon. II. p. Hooker,

,olled. 1t is true there are some in this

locker, some for one reason, some for
mother Mr.. Hooker is like all persons
not perfect, but Christ says forgive,
nd | guess we had better. His past
curse has not, in the minds of many,
Deen as consistent as it should have
Jeen, but hehas repented and acknowl-
.dges his faults, therefore | think the
Democrats of Ohio county had better
stand to him to man, and give him Il
rousing majority over DIR. Meadors the
first Monday in August.
If there has ever been Il year in the
history OF our country for the Domo-
cracy To be united and vote solid, it is
this one. Next year is the time for the
people to elect Democratic President,
and much depends upon going strong
and solid this year.
1t was told before the Convention that
the Liberty and Goshen neighborhood
would not vote for Hooker. Some one
was mistaken, for | do not know of but
few but what cast their votes for him. L
mean of course Democrats.
There is work to be done, and it be-
hooves the party to not lose one minute.
Wake up, Democrats, to your duty.

Can il bc that the speech was purely
the result of inspiration caught from
the stage scenery and lrving's immor-
tai legend or has the Honorable Wal.
ter been engaged in Rip Van Wrinkles
nap of twenty years? He delved amid
the rubbish of the early stages of the
late war, virtually denounced the
Greenhackers as d-m fools, told the
snake and nigger story, also the bull
story, and raised vehement cry of
"stop thief' over the cipher dispatches,
and interwove the idea of national SUI
premacy in national affairs, and then
stepped down and proceeded to the far
corner of the room where the colored
brethren sat and introductions To them
collectively and scverally, which latter
performance we presumed was intend
ed to illustrate the fact that his party,
like the snake about which he told, has
"a mighty sight of nigger in it," We
will, perhaps, give more extended
analysis of il next week.

Conssitutiouai convention.

Ii occurs la Us that time and eXpe-
rience have shown that our Legislature
has too much power delegated 10y the
Constitution. If the people determine
To call convention, the Constitution
should be 50 changed as To prohibit the
Legislature from considering bills of
purely local and private character.
Ample provision should be made 10y law
for the courts 10 afford relief i'm such
matters, and the parties to he benefited
should pay the costs. \ large portion
of the time of the Legislature is con-
sumed with this class of legislation.
Take the printed laws passed at any
session, and you will find the local and
private laws predominate largely over
the general laws. For instance, the
Session Acts of 1876 is composed of l39
pages Of General laws, p pages of Reso-
lutions and 1918 pages of Local and pri-
waite acts. Deprived ofjurisdiction ofthese
local matters, the Legislature would
have nothing 10 do but attend to mat
ters Of public interest and go home. Ii
would result in saving annually large
sum to the tax payers of the State. In
states where this change has been made,
il has proven highly satisfactory. Time
and experience have certainly shown
that il is unwise and unsafe for the Leg
islature To have power to authorize
counties &c. to burden themselves heav-
lily with debt by voting aid to corpora
lions. The condition of several coun-
ties of the State is sufficient indica-
ton that protection i'm the future is nee
essary. In moments Of eXcitemen
counties and towns may be induced l.
vote large subscriptions TO Rail Road o
other corporations, believing from th,
fair and flattering representations tina
all will be well, that the investmen
will prove TO he paying one. Tie
scene changes, hard times come, tn.
property of the corporation is sold to
satisfy mortgage debt and counties mt
deprived of their stock and left witt
their bonds to pay. To prevent this il
the future we should have a clause pro
hibiting the Legislature from passin.
any law authorizing counties or town
TO burden themselves with debt by tax
ing stock i'm Rail Road or other corpor,.
lions. Or if il is permitted at all let til,
Constitution provide that the amom
voted should not exceed a fixed pea
cent tand that should be low of Tia,
value of the real estate in such count!
or town and il should be further provid
ed that such county or town should moi
be deprived of its stock by foreclosure o
mortgage, but il should be 10y law mad,
non forfeitable unless such county o.
town was relieved from all liability on
account of any tax voted or bonds ISSUED
TO the corporation. Ii seems to US thai
if the afore mentioned restrictions upon
the power of the Legislature can he had
the benefits that would accrue TO the
State would largely exceed the cost o
calling Convention, which, | believe
is one of the main objections urged
against it. There are other changes
which To Us seem desirable which viii
be noticed hereafter. +.

Rip Van Wrinkle.


Hon. Walter Evans, Republican can
didate for Governor, spoke to large
audience at the court house here, last
Thursday. He came thoroughly adj
vertised---by large hand bills printed gra-
tuitus by the Ne,cs Office, and posted by
enthusiastic partisans at public places
throughout the country. He came also
loudly lauded by admiring friends, as
an able and eloquent political speaker
TO dispense political light-to his less
informed brethern of the great Hayes
and Kellogg, Sherman and Packard,
Zach Chandler, J. Madison Wells Pres
identiaI fiaud combination party. To
say that Mr.. Evans speech was fail
ure, that it was bitter disappointment
to his friends, and excited mingled feel
ings of ridicule and disgust in the
breasts of the Democrats and Green
hackers would be putting it mildly.
BY a strange coincidence Stuttz's dra-
matte troupe was billed for perform
ance at the court house on Thursday
night, and had erected their stage, and
stranger still, the play announced fol-
the evening was Rip Van Wrinkle, and
the Republican candidate for gubanato-
rial distinction mounted the theatrical
stage and, as If gathering inspiration
from the play which was to follow, pro-
ceded totell i'm peculiarly prosy manner
real Rip Van Wrinkle story, convincing
all who heard him of the eternal fitness
of things, and the eminent propriety
of delivering such speech from Ril
Van Wrinkle stage, and stand point.

Walter Evans Speech.

"You'd scarce expect one of my
age to speak in public on the stage"
This was the opening sentence of Mr..
Els speech at Hartford, on the 5th inst.
When he made it, it was supposed that
be might possibly allude to the position
he occupied, as the Court-house had
been arranged for a Theatrical exhibi-
ton, but before he was through, il wac
evident that his mother did not know
he was out.
Mr.. z. said that he had hoped the
question of the war was settled, but
Democrats would not let them be set
tied, as they had nominated full rebel
ticket But on this point said before he
was done, that he had voted for rebels,
and expected to do 80 again.

JUDGE HARGIs' duty is plain. He
ought to take steps in the. proper, legal
way, TO clear himself of the charges in
circulation against him, or he ought to
resign. He should never take his seat
a. an Appellate Judge, until the cloud
is lifted from him. If he fails, or re-
fuses TO do either, an indictment ought
to be procured against some one, proba-
bly, It. NJ. Green, for libel, and this
will bring il up. Ifthis is not attended
to, then the members Of the bar, in ev-
cry county, ought to meet in conven-
tion, at their respective court-houses,
and pass resolutions requesting him to
resign.

THE Democratic Convention at Co
lumbus, Ohio, last "Wednesday, nomin-
ated a very strong ticket, with Thomas
Ewing at the head for Governor. The
platform adopted is an excellent one.
The Democrats will now be able TO carry
Ohio this Fall, and if sensible ticket
like this is chosen for President, Ohio
will go Democratic in 1850.
The nomination Of Ewing by the
Democrats is the very last thing their
political opponents desired. They fear
him more than any other man that
could have been selected.
