THE REPOSITORY ON MURPHY

THE REPOSITORY ON MURPHY,
The Massillon correspondent of the
Repository thus spoke of the great Mur.
ply last week. Our readers will re.
member this is the same Murphy who
stumped for Mckinley last fall. The
Repository correspondent seems also tc
be convinced that this Murphy is q
great fraud. But read what he said:
"We are told that Francis Murphy fell
highly indignant that he should have
been subjected to the humiliation of lee.
turing to ten cent audience, and "wenl
off on his ear" shaking the dust oi
Massillon from his feet" If he was dis.
appointed, he may comfort himself with
the assurance that the people of Massil
lon we're still more 80. Mr. Murphy has
evidently mistaken his calling, as nature
has been too economical in bestoWing
upon him the necessary qualifications
for public speaker AS an exhorter OF
revivalist he may succeed better Many
were attr Cted to see him; to witness the
result of the sudden transformation from
sinner to saint, but in this we felt some.
what disappointed, as it is impossible to
remove all traces of early dissipation. II
the transformation was as perfect as the
transition from the loathsome worm to
the beautiful butterfly, it would be diff.
ferent; but, alas for poor human nature,
we can never remove the marks of early
dissipation. The scar will remain. How
very important then it is to train up our
sons that no such change is necessary.
1t is far better to form character than to
reform it,"

The Repository is bearing, alone and
unaided, the heat and burden of the
day, in defending the people against an
iniquitous measure to swindle them out
of theirmoney, and it has assumed, sim
gle handed, a duty which the Democrat
and the remainder of our contemporaries
in Stark county have basely shirked.-
Repository Local.
"0ur cotemporaries" put their names
to letter with T. w. Saxton of the Re
pO8itory, whose name went down first,
which letter urged Representatives Wor-
ley and Williams to secure the passage
of the measure which the Repository now
denounces. 1t did not look so bad, then
did it2 Did not I. W. Saxton think
the measure right then? He did not
call it "swindle" then-did heP

SECRETARY SHERMAN's faYorite bank in
New York is the Jay Cook First Ma
tional. This institution is said to hold
peculiar relations to John Sherman, and
he to it. 1t has been charged for years
that the Jay Cooke& Co., speculations
in government securities were in close
relationship with John Sherman. Dur
ing the war Sherman was in the Senate,
and was chairman of the finance COM
mittee, and Cooke & Co., put the bonds
on the market at profit, AS Secretary,
John Sherman continues his faYoritism,
and since Feb. 2O.h, 1873, the commits
sions Of the First National Bank of New
York on the four per cent loans amount
to $286. $40 An exchange says ;-"In
less than twelve months this pet bank
received in commissions from John Sher-
man this large sum, without investing a
dollar of capital, or doing anything else,
except to turn over the bonds to the sub
scribers as they came in. The naked
fact speaks for itself, and when assOciat.
ed with the events and history of for.
mer period, in which these same parties
were associated, the mind is fore I'd to
the conclusion that the rule of Addition,
Division, and Silence has practical ad-
mirers both inside and outside the limits
of the Federal capital"

THE GEOLOGICAL INV EsTIGATING
COMMITTEES


Met tonight to hear the testimony OF
Hon. R. B. Dennis Of Cleveland, as to
the quality of the geological survey in
Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Stark and Holmes
counties. He said that Prof Newbery
made no adequate report on the lying ol
the valuable black band along the line Of
the Cleveland, Coshocton & Straitsville
railway that these minerals were either
entirely overlooked or totally neglected
railroads were compelled to employ Pro
fessors Whittesey and Andrews to make
a new survey; that they found all along
this road valuable ore in large quantities
and that there was also valuable Goa
lands which Prof Newberry did no
mention. He said that Prof, New wberryI
statement in the Leader, insinuatinl
that the President of the railroad haC
sought to have him twist the report t
favor his railroad, was as ungenerous al
it was false. Mr. Dennis made stront
presentation of the fact that the neglec
in examining this field had worked t
the prejudice of Cleveland, to which /
is naturally tributary. The whole state
ment of Mr.. Dennis was candid ant
impartial one, and after he had closed, !
was corroborated by several OF the com
mittees from various counties of whicl
he spoke. Senator DUNCAN then made
short statement, saying that he had beel
told by Charley Flood, the former super
visor Of printing, that Prof Newberry ha
after one of the volumes of the surve
was nearly completed and the forms ha
been thrown down, wanted to have al
opportunity of correcting number q
errors which he said had Crept into tn

ONO LEaIsLATuRE.

On Monday afternoon the bill codify.
ing the laws relating to private corpora.
tions was considered by the Senate and
several amendments were agreed to.
These amendments provide that no elec.
ton Of directors In corporation shall
take place until 80 per cent of the stock
is subscribed, and ten per cent actually
paid in. InCorporators must certify that
ten per cent of the stock has been paid,
and must file that certificate with the
Secretary of State. The incorpoTators
of a company will be held personally re
sponsible for the debts Of the company
until six months after Incorporation, No
company would be allowed to issue bonds
or borrow money for more than the
amount OF capital stock actually shbscrl-
bed, The codfying commission having
reduced the minimum number of inCor'
porators to three, the Senate restored it
TO it's former number of five.
In the House, codifying work and two
or three unimportant bills, with propos'
ed amendments thereto, occupied the
entire day.
Mr. JaCkson's Senate joint resolution,
| proposing an blu6nuueuJ W Jl6 OOHbtl
tuition, providing for nine independent
District Courts in Ohio, has passed both
Houses, and will be voted upon by the
people this fall,
Mr.. CowgilIs bill to regulate the fees
of county officers, by commission to be
appointed by the Court of Common
Pleas of the county, upon the petition Of
100 citizens of the county, passed the
House Tuesday by a vote Of GA to 81.
The list of the graves of Ohio soldiers
who died in the late war, but which are
as yet unmarked by any durable monu.
ment, have been carefully prepared by
the Adjutant General, and are now in
the hands of the State printer. They
will be issued in a neat pamphlet next
week. 1t will be remembered that Con-
gress has made large appropriation for
monuments to be placed over these
graves, and that the whole United States
is being advertised for information on
this subject.

JOHNSON SHERRICK, State Senator, was
elected road supervisor in Canton town
ship, this county, as an acknowledgment
of his disinterested services in behalf of
such supervisors in the Ohio Legislature.
We believe he has sufficient ability to
discharge the duties ofthis new Office
MdSSiLLOn american.
No doubt our Senator is abundantly
capable. He was always industrious ; as
a boy on the farm, as a clerk in the hard
ware store, as business manager for
others, as a business man for himself,
and as a member ofthe House four years
and Senator two years, he has been
"honest, capable, and faithful to the Con-
stitution." OF course she has sufficient
ability" for road supervisor, and would
be satisfied with the pay prescribed by
law. We fear the smart and intelligent
individuals who voted for him would not
be satisfied with fair wages, even if they
have Sufficient ability"

SENATOR MATT CARPENTER made q
speech last week against the claim oi
Bell of New Hampshire, to seat in the
Senate. Blaine twitted him about going
over to the Democrats, when Carpenter
turned to the Record of the last session,
and showed that when the bill authoriz-
ing the existing Legislature of New
Hampshire to elect Senator was under
discussion, Mr.. Blaine and other Repub.
lican Senators maintained that in case of
no election by the Legislature, the Gov
ernor would have no authority to ap-
point, pending the meeting of the new
Legislature. That settled the plumed
knight for the day.

THE radical papers were instructed to
blow loud and long over the Spring elec.
tioDs and hence they are claiming won,
derful gains in the State and in the coun-
try. They even talk of great revolu.
ton in their favor, and against the De-
moCracy. The facts give the lie to the
statement. We need only name Chicago
and Michigan to take the stuffing out of
that poor lie. And in Ohio there is
nothing to discourage. The Republicans
have lost more in Cleveland than the
Democrats have in Columbus and in
Cincinnati they have not more than held
their own. Take the State over, among
cities of the second class, the Democrats
gain. From all these indications the
State is Democratic.

States; which has both the Executive and
Legislative departments of the govern.

IT seems if the Republicans cannot
vote the negroes South, they are going
to bring them North and try it here.
There appears to be method in their re.
joicIng over the exodus Of the blacks
from some localities of the South. II
leaks out that Col. Hooker, relative Of
the late Jim Fisk, of fragrant memory,
is engineering a pretty Radical scheme
to send the moving negroes to the
doubtful States"-10O,O00 to New York,
$4,000 to Ohio, and $4,000 to Indiana-a
number sufficient, in his opinion, to SIX
things" for 1880. A fund of 81, 100000
would be ample, he thinks, to carry this
into immediate effect. Bob Ingersoll
has subscribed 81 600. This is thrifty

The Mayor and a portion of the City
Council of Meadville were sent to jail
on Wednesday, last week. They were
indicted for maintaining a nuisance, by
allowing sewers to empty into Mill Run,
and were arrested for refusing to be
bound in the sum Of 5000 to appear in
court. After a short stay behind the
bars they were released by the Sheriff
on their own recognizance. The case is
likely to prove an interesting one before
it is settled.

CARROLL county claims title to the next
State Senator from this district. Honor
the liberalization american.
1t is likely the Republicans Of Carroll
do put up such claim, for three times in
succession have Republican candidates
in Stark failed, namely, Perdue beaten
by Ferrall in 1873; Coates beaten by
Haines in 1875, and FOlger beaten by
sherrick in 1877. 1t would be well,
probably, to offer Carroll Republican
for the victim this year.

The most noted case of childish pre-
is perhaps that of Christian
Henry Heinecker, born in Lubec in
l72l. He could talk at ten months old;
when he had completed his first year
could recite the leading facts in the
Pentateuch, and Il month later had ac-
uuired the rudiments of ancient history,
geography and anatomy; had learned
the use of maps and 5000 Latin words.
When two and a half years old he could
answer almost any question in geo.
graphy and history, and before his
death, which occurred in 1724, at the
age of four years and four months, had
learned divinity, ecclesiastical history,
and other branches of knowledge, and
spoke Latin, French, German and
Dutch. About a year before his death
he harangued the King of Denmark, to
whom he had been presented. In his
last moments he displayed the utmost
frmness, and attempted to console his
grief-stricken parents.
