A Lying Correspondent.

In order to show to the thousands of
people of this county, both Republicans
and Democrats, to what miserable mis-
representations and downright lying the
correspondent at this place of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer will resort in order to de-
ceive the people, we copy the following
report of the Republican meeting held
in this place on Monday last from the
Enquirer of Tuesday. The lie is so SUI
prenely ridiculous that comment is un-
necessary, for everybody who was here.
Republicans and Democrats, know that
the convention was the largest and most
enthusiastic political meeting that has
been held in this county since the close
of the rebel war, and no man has any
regard for the truth who will deny if.
the Washington correspondent to the
contrary Notwithstanding:
"To-day the Republicans held their
long talked of and widely advertised iol-
| LITIGATION. If mismanagement from first
to last, or if numbers be any Indication
then it was a failure. Although the
meeting had been advertised throughout
the county for weeks, yet there were
fewer country people in town to-day
Gnan on saturday. This is a strong Re-
publican county, but there is either nc
organization of the party or they have
no heart or sympathy in the campaign

son were to speak. Gibson failed to put
in an appearance at the expected time.
This seemed to discourage the managers
of the show. Finally, at eleven O'Clock,
a start was made for Wendel's Grove.
where the speaking was to take place, the
procession being headed by a motley
crowd of about hundred mounted ne
groes. No sooner had the procession
reached the grove than the negro escort
turned tale and fled the scene in Il body
on a dead run, followed by the Washing
ton Drum Corps and most of those who
mad been duped by promises of a speech
IN the forenoon from either Foster oil
GiDson. Mills Gardner tried to restrain
Lhe crowd, but with poor success, SO the
laeeClhg adjourned for dinner. After
oIhhef roster and Gibson put in an ap.
pearahce, but the crowd didn't to any
great extent. Foster devoted his atten.
ton to financial matters, while Gibson
wrestled with the bloody shirt. The Re.
publican leaders are moody and soreIy
disappointed over to-day's failure. -

with Schiller's name in large gilt letters.
Some distance farther on, on the oppo-
site side of the lake, we pass "Tell's
Chapel - which was built in 1888 on the
spot where Tell is said to have sprung
from Gessler's boat The inside was
decorated with pictures representing
scenes from the hero's life, but owing to
the disgraceful way in which tourists
have written their names over everything g
it is now being restored on the site of the
old one. Soon we reached Fluelen. Here
the boat and party, except four of us,
went to LRcerne. We fOur-another gen.
tleman and two ladies-concluded to go
to Altdorf, the birthplace of William Tell, !,
some two miles up the valley. We saw
the statue of the hero, which stands on
the spot where Tell is supposed to have
| stood when aiming at the apple on his
sons head. Also, the fountain which
marks the spot where the tree stood
against which the boy was placed. Return
| ing to AltdOrf we went to Lucerne by
steamer. Here we saw a masterpiece of
sculture work, that of the lion on the
rock transfiXed by an arrow, in memory
of the Swiss Guards who fell at Paris.
We leave for Paris this morning, Au-
| gust 20, to remain four days; then to
| London and Glasgow, whence we sail for
home on the 4th of September. An or
gan concert was given our party at the
Cathedral last evening; also at Geneva
and Friburg.
Now, after having travelled through
eight different countries in Europe, we
will return home satisfied that there is
no place equal to America. The hotel
accommodations in this country are much
| limited, and the customs so very differ
ent. We are all tired of table d'hote,
and are glad that we shall soon have a
change in our manner of eating.

The Fdyette Republican, the new paper
just started here, with Mr.. Thos. F. Gard
ner as editor and proprietor, made its bow
to the public yesterday. 1t will be pub
hshed on Wednesdays. 1t is nine column
paper, neat geographically, and its coll
umns are we'll filled. AS to principles.
and course to be pursued by the new pa
per the following extract from the EDITORS
salutatory will explain:
''ln politics, the Republican will advo-
cate the principles of the Dartv whose
name it bears. And while we shall avoid
low, pollClcaI Dlackguardism, we shall
be ever ready to denounce the uiSdoinr-s
of the officials of either party Asso
journalist it shall be our aim to thronicIa
all the local events of town and eonntv
of which we may become cognizant. he
they good or bad. In this respect we
shall have tno friends to reward nor
enemies to punish" And while we will
not pry into the private affairs of any one
nor with malevolent intent put into print
that which ought properly be treated al
private, yet as any should so far fol gel
themselves If to drag such matters into
the street, thereby making them public
we, in our capacity as Journalist, shall re-
gard such affairs as local events of the
day, and treat them accordingly.
Gin the editorial management of the
Republican we shall pursue the course
that our convictions teaches us is right in
the publication of newspaper In its
tone, the family journal, as the village
paper is usually regarded, should, to d
great extent, act as a monitor in the com.
munity. Denouncing immortality in all
its forms, and boldly and fearlessiy advo-
eating the right, the press should always
aid and support properly constituted an.
thortty in all well-diFected effort to sup
press vice and corruption

In another column we publish the law,
as amended in 1878, regulating OF fix
ing the time person shall reside in the
State, county, township or ward of city
to entitle him to vote at our elections,
and the mode of determining his resi-
dence, etc. From the law now in exist
ence it will be seen that to entitle per-
son to vote in this State he must have
been citizen of the State one year, of
the county thirty days and of the town
ship or ward an actual resident for twenty
days, unless he be the head of a family,
in which case, if he moves from one
township to another, or from one ward
TO another, having resided in the State
one year and in the county thirty days,
he is not required to have been a resident
of the township or ward twenty days,
but is entitled to his vote as soon as he
changes his residence, as above.
No person coming into the county since
Sunday last is entitled to vote in the
county under this law, and it would be
well for our friends to be on their guard
against class of persons who may como
into the county and demand the right tc
vote without the required qualifications
Let our friends in every school district ir
the county note the time that every new.
conner, whether he be Democrat or Re.
publican, comes into your township OIL
school district.

Last Saturday morning shocking
accident occurred on the Muskingum
Valley Railroad, at the pike crossing,
about two miles below Ogden. Those
who have travelled this road know quite
well that it is one of the most dangerous
places in all this part of the country.
On account of the deep cut, person can
see an approaching train until it is
almost at the crossing of the wagon road, +,
Eden Andrew was driving along the pike
last Saturday morning as the train which
leaves Wilmington at 8 30 A. NJ. was GO
ing west. The engine was under full
headway, and just as he was driving his
carriage over the railroad track the en-
gine struck it,ss jerking it loose from both
horses and completely demolishing it.
In the vehicle were Mr.. Andrew and his
mother, aged eigty-two years. The for
mer was so badly injured that his recov-
cry is regarded as impossible. Mrs. An
drew was caught by the cOwcatcher to
which she held fast until the train had
run almost quarter of mile. She was
also badly hurt, and, on account of her
age, it may be that she can not recover.
DR.. Garland was summoned; and, when
he examined Mr.. Andrew, it is reported
that he said he could do nothing for him.
The accident has cast gloom over the
entire neighborhood, where the unfortu-
nate people resided. Strange to say,
both horses escaped without injury.

with us for a set speech before the close
of the campaign. If the State Central

The Yerdtcf.

The verdict in the case of the Chisholm
murders is just what everybody expect
ed-nOt guilty. The slaughter of the
Chisholm family was one of the blood
lest, cruelest, meanest and most coward
ly deeds in all the annals of crime. But
in the State of Mississippi, there is no
penalty for murder, if the victim opposes
the Democratic party. Those who do
not subscribe TO that party's Internal
creed of States Rights and practical
rebellion, may be shot down like dogs by
any one, and there is no punishment for
the offence. 1t matters not whether the
victim be an Independent candidate
for Sheriff, a Republican candidate for
Congress, a brave and heroic young
girl, or a youthful aud prattling boy. 1t
matters not whether a single person is
selected to commit the murder or the mob
falls on en- masse. In either and in any
case, murder foully done upon a person
not "A Democrat, is no crime in Democrat
ie Mississippi.
Shall this state of things be tolerated
longer2 Shall this worse than devilish
system be encouraged by the people OF
the free and generous North, until it sub
jeets our whole country 20 the wrath and
curse of heaven? Do you say no? OF
course you do, whatever your party ties.
Yet every vote cast for the Democratic
party in Ohio, is direct encouragement
and aid to the vile and murderous ruffians

The little village of Westerville, in
Franklin county, twelve miles from Co
lumbus, was startled out of its sleep about
2o'clock last.Sunday morning by fear
full explosion, which frightened the in
habitants half out of their senses, and
caused them to think an earthquake was
about to swallow up the town. Some
parties, as yet unknown, had exploded
two kegs of powder under the hotel and
saloon owned by man named Corbin,
between whom and the citizens of the
town there has been war for long time,
on account of Corbin continuing in the
saloon business against the wishes of the
citizens. The hotel and an adjoining
building were totally destroyed ,and much
damage done to other property in the
town, but no lives lost, though the escape
of the inmates of the two buildings de-
stroyed was miraculous. The value of
property destroyed is placed at $4,000. A
reward of $500 has been offered by the
citizens for the arrest and conviction of
the guilty parties.
