THE CAMPAIGN.

Both Jackson and WILSON left the
city yesterday for their homes. Colonel
WILSON was detained at Washington at
tending to his duties in Congress until
the political campaign was fairly on, but
since his return from there he has visit
ed pretty much every part Of the dis
district. His observation is that the
party never was so completely aroused
this early in the campaign, so thorough
ly in earnest to achieve grand victory,
as now. After attending TO his private
business for few days and stay of a
few days in Washington looking up
some public documents for distribution
among the people OF the district, he says
he will be ready for the campaign in
earnest.

COL. CHARLESWORTH.

The Cincinnati Enquirer makes this
reference to the gallant soldier who has
been nominated by Congress by the
Democrats OF the Belmont district :;
Colonel CHARLEswoRrH, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Congress in the Sin
teenth District, was a soldier in the
Mexican War, and was wounded at the
battle Of Contreras. In the Late" war
he was in the first company entered on
the books of the Adjutant.General Of
Ohio for three years services. He was
commissioned Captain July II, 1861,
and was successfully promoted to Major
and Lieutenant Colonel. At Allegheny
Summit, Va, he was slightly wounded,
aud at Cross Keys on the 18th OF
June, 1862, he received severe
abdu0inal wound, which nearly cost
him his life, and made his discharge
from the service necessary. Here is a
gentleman who has been wounded
three times in the service of his country
and who has been trusted and honored
by the people OF his own county. Still,
we observe that the Republican papers
OF his district are yelling disloyalty at
him, same as il he were an unrepentant
rebel Lieutenant. General. To adopt
the phrase Of certain Democratic SOL
der who has come pretty near running
for Governor OF Ohio two or three times,
Charlesworth should 90 into compari-
son of graye-yarls with Updegrat.

POSITIVELY THE VERY LATEST

Since the dawn of creation the weather

according to its own fancy, and hardly

who is a constant grumbler on this score.
In the Garden Of Elem, before the fall,
Adam was a comfortable and wellpro-
vided granger, and ii, in this particular,
NOSES made no mistake, the climate,
anterior to the fall aforesaid, must have
been perfection, but it's Mexican dol
lar to maravedl that he growled at the
weather. Modern meteorological science
has progressed so far "a to comprehend
in some degree the methods OF the can
tankerous elements, but has not been so
bold as to essay their control. This
General somebody, OF Virginia, has the
temerity to attempt. JovE compelled
the clouds, AJAX defied the lightning,
but this nineteenth century demigod
proposes to precipitate a rainfall at
pleasure. He has patented his method,
and now only lacks that great desidera-
tum of all inventors, a.little appropria-
ton. lie proposes to load skeleton bal
Ions with cartridges Of dynamite or other
smaller explosive materials, and, when
they have reached the desired attitude,
TO explode them by electricity, through
light metallic wires connecting the bal
loon with the earth. The General, as
the result OF many years OF study and
investigation OF this subject, claims that
the diffused mists passing over arid re-
gions or localities suffering from I'M
usual drouths, may readily be consoll-
dated into rainfalls by conclusions and
vibrations thus artiticially produced,
aud he has therefore suggested that Con-
gress may provide small appropria.

II the General succeeds not only will the
agriculturist, but the denizen OF the city
profit by his scheme. In time, no
doubt, he will be able to regulate the
down-pour according to the force OF the
conclusion, and water from the heavens
may he turned on ike water from the
hydrants. Then will the occupation OF
the street sprinkler be gone, for twice a
day during the heated season, or better
still, twice night, showers will be or
dered to lay the dust. Storms will be
compelled to extinguish fires, and show
ers to sprinkle lawns. The reign OF the
General will be a greater era for Amer

TYLER COUNTY.
Six Months Of School Voted at
Sistersville.
SIsTRRsvILLE, August ii.
Co,respoudene OF tire Register.

SIsTKRsvILLE, August IL.
Correspondence of tire Register.
Having read your comments on an
editorial in our Tyler Independent in re-
gard TO an election about to be held on
the question OF six months school, and
being pleased to find you manifesting so
much interest on the subject. hope II
will not be out OF place to send you the
result of said election:
There were 203 votes cast, OF
which lO3 were for six months
school, 96 INTENDED to be-
against more than four months, and
four ballots were thrown out, havii &
been Improperly written.
There was disgraceful opposition 10
the measure which shows up very badly
for this portion of intelligent 81 old
TYLER Among those voting against
the extension OF the school term were
men who should have been the last to
oppose anything of the kind-men who
should lead in educational matters in:
stead OF pulling the system down. Ard
the opposition was not confined to any
one political party. Poor men with a
house full of children, and whose tax,
on account OF the additional two months,
would be increased about 10 cents, voted
against it. And one poor fellow showed
the need of Just a little "larnin'" by
writing on his ballot, against six
months SkO0l.'
But here are some of the objections:
"When / was boy there were no such
things AS free schools. My children are
not better than / was; let them get
through the world as | have" -Four
months school is enough. We do not
use it all as it is" 1--WE already pay the
detestable school teachers enough to run
the schools six months il their wages
were reduced to level with common
laborer, and they are no better than he. -
These were few of the objections.
The average pay OF teacher last year
was thirty-two dollars, in this district,
which is lower than two.thirds OF the
States pay.
Some OF our people have yet to learn
that if money does make the mare go,
an education will show Ter Thcrt to go,
and that If we rs a State ever expect to
compare favorably with some other
States, We must encourage and develop
our free school system.
But my very disconnected letter is
already too long, and hopingthat have
not wearied your patience, l remain a
SCHOOL MAN.

GARFIELp's LIVER PAD.

Cincinnati Commercial very APPLY calls
GARFIELD's treasury receipt for his back

correspondent says:
Garfield needed it and took il, but
when the COW boys in Ashtabula began
To howl on their milk routes and among
their cheese mills, Garfield heard the
voice OF God in the voice of the people
and he dumped his grab at the treasury
door, and took great big receipt for it
on parchment, which he has been wear
ing rs liver pad ever since.

GARFIELD and SCHUYLER CoLFAx
found themselves on the same platform
at Chautauqua, last Monday, which was
quite embarrassing to the former. The
rush OF old associations upon his men,
DRY must have been overwhelming.
Here was man who had stood quite as
high in public life rs himself, who had
committed a similar indiscretiOn with
himself and lied about il, just as he had.
The only difference was that Mr.. CoLFAx
was not in position to rally his constit-
uency as Mr.. GARFIELD could, and he
was lost, while the other was brought
ashore. But their moral standing was
the same. GARFIELD, however, was too
much OF aioward to face the difficulty
squarely. He cut CoLFAy at Chautau-
qua, and thus confessed more than
though he had walked arm.in-arm with
him from the grounds.

..VINo THE SOUTH SOLID.

According to our exchanges printed
in towns where our fellow-townsman,
0soaar B. CALDWELL has been making
spesehes, the burden ofhis talk is an ar,
rangement of the people Of the South.
But he Is not singular in that. The
stumpers and editors OF this party, from
GARFIELD up and GARFIELD down, place
this issue before the people as the one
upon which their party asks a continu-
ance in power. They argue that the
people Of the South are still traitors,
that the citizens OF the South are all
enemies to our Constitution and our
country. This is the vital principle OF
the Republican canvass. II is the key
note as sounded by Mr.. GARFIELD in
New York and applauded by his friends.
Unless citizen endorses this principle
ne is not Republican in good standing.
He is termed Southern sympathizer.
In view OF this, what is the position OF
the Southern people il they adhere to
Republicanism? They say to the world,
the South is disloyal. We do not
accept the results Of the war. We
are enemies OF our country. 1t
is to be supposed that there can be
large Republican party at the South
upon this issue? The very existence OF
Republicanism under such a state OF
things is admisson By their citizens that
they believe themselves enemies to the
Constitution and country, and ought to
be debarred participation in its affairs.
When the Republican party can raise
itself to plane high enough to contem-
plate the United States as whole, and
address itself to living issues irrespec-
tive OF locality, it may hope to break the
Solid South, but not so long as the do
ing so is to cause the people OF the
South to say, We are and We believe We
are, enemies TO our constitution and
our country.

GENERAL GARFIELD is the recipient OF
a gold.headed cane ''voted 10 him by
the visitors TO a Catholic church fair at
Port Huron, Mich" This disposes OF
General GARFIELD's chances. The
Roman Catholic church is, OF course, the
one institution which aims to overthrow
this government, and its support OF the
Republican nominee will be fatal. The
Republican organs ought to deny this
latest campaign story at one.

nEPUBErcAN STATE coNvENrIoN.

This body, composed principally OF
ignorant negroes, public plunderem and
q few white scallawags, adjourned on
last Saturday, after q session OF three
days, without making any nominations
for State Offices. There is no doubt that
this policy was dictated from Washington.
The Convention when it assembled was
unqueatlonably in favor Of the nomina-
tion of full State ticket, but Elliott,
who holds Federal Office, came fresh
from Washington and appeared in the
Convention. opposed all State nomina.
tiors sd BY bal! ss!csiSS :!;s Convention

State officers was referred to che discrc-
tion Of tho State Executive Committee.
This pollcy was devised by the Federal
Republicans and not by those of the State.

but for the Federal, and If they can lull
