INcENpIARY FIREs.-On the night Of
the Goth Of December, 1879, the cottage
house near Broom's Mill, on DR.. Thos.
F. Broom's Big Cedar Greek planta-
tion, was burned to the ground. The
fire was clearly the act Of an incendi-
ary. The house had, fortunately, been
vacated a few days before. On the
26tl Of January just past, another
house on the same place, little farth-
or from the mill, was burned, togeth-
or with two or three thousand pounds
of fodder belonging to tho tenants of
DR.. Broom. These burnings are get
ting little frequent. Some very
moderate men say they are tired of
such things. They say the bnrnings
must stop, or Regulators may have
something to say about it.

The amendment to the Army Ap-
preparation bill which passed the
House of Representatives the other
day by strictly party yote-ninety-
five Republicans voting against it
is precisely the same proposition that
was incorporated in the law at the last
session and for which every .Republi-
can but twelve voted, and which re-
ceived the signature of Hayes and be.
came a law. 1t simply prohibited the
use of the army at the polls. The fol-
lowing is the section: s@ -s
SEC. 6. That no money apprOpri-
atea i'll this act is appropriated or shall
be paid for the subsistence, equipment,
transportation uUrrI IJgnsatiOil OF an y
portion OF the army of the United
States to be used as police force to
keep the peace at The polls at any cleo
ton held within any Stale"
Garfield said Of it:
6 | say, for one, that in 40 far as this
section indicates the relation between
The civil and military arm of the Gov
ernmentin the conduct Of elections it
meets my cordial concurrence; and q
vote for the section will pGt as rest
the reckless and false charge that this
side Of the House desire to run cleo
tons by. bayonets."
He also said:
=" The proposition to use our army
as q police, to send them out and sta
tion them one by one at the polls TO
run the elections as a police, is fic-
ton SO absurd that | trust no man on
this side OF the House will give the
least color to the assumption that he
favors it by holding that this sixth
section repeals, snspends or modifies
any existing statute"
And yet when this proposition
comes up at the present session, the
entire Republican members become
bowling mad and they devote severa!
days of speech making, striving to
arouse sectional hate and animosity,
which is manifestly their only hope in
the coming struggle

The great overwhelming objection
of the Republican leaders to the amend
ment to the army appropriation bill
forbiddiBg the use of the army at the
polls is not that they think that the
army ought to be SO used, but because
they are utterly opposed to attaching
political riders to legislative bills. The
fact that only twelve Republican
members voted against precisely the
same provision at the last June session
and that Hayes signed the bill with
the amendment engrafted therein is
not enough to overcome their scruples.
Even the fact that in the twelve years
OF their rule the Republicans attached
three hundred and eighty.seven riders
to appropriation bills, does not pacify
them. The trouble is, this seems to be
about the last chance left them to re-
new the sectional strife and hoist again
their ensanguined banner.

TIE opponents OF the denomination
OF General Grant as q candidate for
the Presidency have completed an Or
gahization in a quiet way, and haye
resolved TO make the warfare upon
him in a personal sense. just now
the idea is being Impressed upon the
people through the snti-third-term
organs that there will be split in the
New York and Pennsylvania delega-
tions, and that Blaine will get good
vote from each of these States. This
is based, however, on nothing but
wind, aud had its origin in the Blaine
head quarters in Washington city.

IT is commonly remarked that Ra-
VIENNA is the same old town in was
forty years ago that there is no life,
no prog ress, no improvement, no sub
stantial growth evidencing business
enterprise.
These observations are made by gem
tlemen who have visited our village on
business for many years. Men whose
vocation calls them to the many thriv-
ing towns in our neighborhOOd, and
whose criticisms are occasioned by that
comparison energetic business men
cannot fail to make. The remarks are
true ones. We are slow going, indo-
lent, indifferent, sadly wanting in en-
terprise and business vim, and do not,
as a town, progress as we ought to.
The geographical and political center
of the County and one of the oldest
towns in Northern Ohio; we ought,
long before this, to have been a City
which would command the trade of
the county, and be the pride of its
people. And yet the only things of
which we can speak with justifiabie
pride are our schools.
| After all these years of listlessness
and dreamy waiting for something to
turn up we have but 2200 Inhabitants
Census 1870. A town beautiful in Cir
cling clouds of dust in summer, and
magnificence- of unfathomed mud in
winter. The trade naturally belong
ing to us fast being usurped by several
live and enterprising villages growing
up in our county, their existence being
occasioned by our lack OF activity and
liberality.
The fault is not with our business
men. We have waited, watched and
have ALMOST prayed, that the organs
of the party in power would speak,
calling attention to one of the main
causes of our want of healthy busi-
ness growth. They speak not. And
now, in face of the probability of being
called nothing but damned Demo
crat, ~ and OF hearing the remark, "oh,
he dom t pay any taxes" &C., &C., we
desire. to record our feeble " kick
against continuance of the penny
wise, pound foolish, seven-by-nine pol
icy of our council,
What Ravenna needs is a live, stir
ring town Council. Men of courage
enough to go ahead" and once make
provisions for the Improvement of oui
streets and for placing our village in
such a condition as to impress those
who visit us with the idea that we in
tend being somebody, thus attracting
the attention of business men seeking
a place to- locate and of idle capital
searching a hopeful investment. Let
a judicious move be made towards per-
manent Improvements, a matter which
will meet the commendation of every
intelligent business man, and we will
soon hear other remarks than damn
the mud, - er "gosh darn tile dust" ~

The decennial land appraisers have
commenced their work of appraising
property for the period between 1850
and 1890. 1t is the duty of every land
owner to give correct description of
his land and a record of the exact
~ aassahcr OF aere,.-11, he results atrGrnef
by the assessors are 10 stand for the
next ten years, and it stands land own-
ers in hand to have their property COR
rectly assessed, a correct duplicate
will save yexasion and much trouble,
and not only this, but from the exact
quantity of land will be based the val
ue of taxation, as t!.e appraisements
are made from that basis. .,
There are several statutes governing
the modes OF appraising property,
which owners should know. For the
benefit of those who have not the Re.
yised Statutes, the substance OF the
law is given below: Assessors shall
in all cases view the property, and OBJ,
tain such facts, from the best infor
nation, as will enable them to arrive
at true valuation of the land. How
ever, the price which any lot or parcel
would bring at a forced sale or auc-
ton shall not be taken into considera-
ton. Assessors are required to ex-
anime all buildings, with the consent
of the owners. If any Assessor fail to
do his duty-that is, returning prop
erty at less than its true yaluation-he
shall forfeit not less than $500 or more
than $1,000.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
makes this remark seriously, and ad
dresses it to Democratic editors, North
and South
"The Constitution expressly gives
to Congress the right to make 'by
law regulations for the choice of
Senators and Representatives, except
as to the place of choosing Senators.
Hence the election of Senators and
Representatives is a National elec-
ton that is, falls constitutionally un-
der National authority"
This remark accepts the logical con-
sequence of conceding the right of the
Federal Government to travel into the
States and take control of the elections
of members of the House of Represen-
tatives. The same constitutional right
precisely exists as to the control of the
elections OF the United States Senators,
except as to the place of choosing them.
If they fall at all under National au-
thority they fall alike and equally un-
der National authority. To this ex-
tent the Republican is logically and
constitutioually correct. What fol-
lows? That the Federal Government
may send its Supervisors, its Mar
shals and its Deputy Marshals, or it's
agents by whatever name called, to
the halls OF the Legislatures Of the
thirty-ei9ht States to elect United
States Senators whenever such elec-
tions occur, as to elect Representatives,
when such elections occur. These
Federal agents may scrutinize the rolls
of members of the Legislatures, and
challenge votes. They may arrest Of
ficers of the Legislature without war;
rant. They may arrest the members.
They may arrest the Presiding Officer.
All at their sweet pleasure. They
may compel rulings to please them
selves or their employer, the Federal
Government, for authority of the ma
tion is paramount to that of the State"
They may take possession of Clerks
and Secretaries of Legislatures when
things do not move to suit them.
They may pass upon the credentials Of
members. They may exercise judi
cial power and determine whether or
not members have been bribed or in
timidated, and if they choose to think
that there has been bribery or intimi
dation they may drag the members
from the Legislative halls. If they
chose to think that any member OF a
Legislature Intends 10 vote contrary
to the law as they understand it they
may arrest him in season to prevent
his voting. Their authority is SUI
preme. 1t is paramount" Every out
rage that has been perpetrated in the
elections for Representatives under the
sanction of these Federal Election
Laws may be repeated in the halls of
every State Legislature in the country.
We have indicated seme of them. And
the perpetrators will point to those
Federal Election Laws and to the re-
cent outrageous decision of the Su-
preme Court sustaining them for JUS
tiiication and defense.-E Enquirer.

DestrucGive Forest Fires.

9 PETERsBuRe, VA, April 49, The
forest fires Which have been raging in
this 'vieinitytthe past week have be-
come uncomfortable. The flames are
plainly visible here. Barns and stables
III large numbers have been destroyed.
fm many instances farmers have lost
all their crops, horses and farming i'm
pietnents. a number of cabips have
burned, the occupants barely escaping
with their lives. The, destruction of
cord wood timber is immense. In
Prince Georgelcounty the fire has been
very destructive, invading orchards
and destroying hundreds OF fruit trees
1t is feared that unless the carly rain
occurs the fire will destroy the railroad
bridges and telegraph poles.
NORFOLK, VA, April 1S.-Passen-
gers report destructive fires along the
line OF railroad from Lynchburg to

burned in Appomatox county, two
houses at Nolteway Court House. Ex.
tensive fires are raging in Dismal
Swamp with great destruction OF tim
ber, cut wood and lumber.

The Republican outlook.

The Republican National Conven-
tion which meets in the city of Chicago
on the Sd of June will be composed of
seven hundred and fifty six delegates,
three hundred and forty four of whom
have already been chosen, distributed
over the country. "Of these, three
hundred and two haye received posi-
tive instructions by the States appoint
ing them, while the remainder will
vote according to their individual pref
erences. The three hundred and two
instructed delegates can be easily plac-
ed, as there is no reason TO believe
that they will vote In the convention
contrary TO their instructions. Penn
sylvania with fifty-eight votes, New
York with seventy, Texas with six
teen, Missouri with thirty, Kentucky
with twenty-four and Arizona Terri
tory with two have instructed their
delegates to vote as unit for General
Grant. This gives him two hundred
| Instructed votes. Maine, Kansas, Iowa
and Washington Territory have in
structed for Blaine, giving him forty
eight certain votes. Edmunds has the
votes of Vermont and Massachusetts
and eight from Connecticut, making
his total of instructed votes, Al. Sher-
man has eight from North Carolins
and two from Indiana, ten in all. The
forty-two uninstructed delegates arc
somewhat more difficult to place, as il
can not be told certainly how they
will vote. So far as can be judged
from their expressed preferences, they
will be divided about as follows:-
Grant will receive 10 and Blaine Is o.
the 80 votes of Indiana; Blaine viii
receive 4 and Edmunds of the votes
of Rhode Island Blaine will receive
4 and Washburne 4 of the II votes o.
Connecticut; Grant will receive and
Blaine of the 2 votes of the Distric
of Columbia. Adding these, Gran
has 211, Blame Is, Edmunds A, Sher
man 10 and Washburne 4 of the dele
gates that have thus far been chosen
This result is different from what il
ciphered out at the different headquar
ters, but it is in strict accordance will
the facts and is substantially correct.
