The Wants Of Green7ills.

What is and has been for a long
time a necessity to Greenyille and
the whole industrial interests of the
county, is direct communication with
Cincinnati by rail. For wears every
pound of export and import has paid
a duty to Dayton. Even passenger
travel has had always to and is now,
obliged to stop at Dayton and pay
for The privilege of passing through
the town. The trade of Darke. coun-
ty has built up Dayton, and if the
people and the produce can go direct
to it's market, what has been used to
build up Dayton, may be used in
building up Greenville and the coun-
try. This is a proposition that is
self evident which non will dispute
and the only question now is, what
is the cheapest and best way to get
to Cincinnati. A project is on foot
for a narrow guage through West
! Sonora, Germantown and Carlisle
That may all be very well and OF in.

country through which it runs. Blu

and this can be accomplished BY

Gen. BEN LEFEyRE has introduced
a bill in Congress entitled "a bill for
the Suppression of Infectious and
Contagious Diseases among Domes-
ticated Animals" which will meet
the long felt wants Of the farming in
terests ofthis country, and with Gen.
LEFEvRE's diligent earnestness in
the interest of the farmers, there is
little doubt but that it will pass at
an early day. The bill is very elab-
crate and hiss been drawn by the
gentleman with great care and after
a thorough study of the whole affair.
BEN LEFEvRE is the champion friend
of the farmers interests in the pre-
sent Congress.

The sixty days which sanguine
Republicans predicted would suffice
for the Legislative session this year,
expired on the 9Th inst, and the end
is not yet, and the probability is that
the session will extend until the mid.
die of April. And while it is true
the State Solons are salaried, the lie.
gion of clerks, Sergeants- at-Arm
assistants, pages and hangers-on get
five dollars a day alice samec.

The salaries paid to Federal Of
ficers in the whole country amount
to $31, 252,1o7. A ten per cent. as
sessment upon that amount would
net the Republican managers $780,
600 in round numbers for a corrup-
tion fund. Look out for the schem-
ers this year! They will leave no
stone, unturned to compass their
ends, and with such a tremendous
lever at hand as a wholesale official
assessment, they would be more
than human if they did not make
use of it. Hayes civil service reform
is likely to be brought into greater
contempt this year than ever.

In answer to an invitation from
the Mayor of New Orleans to visit
that city on his return from Mexico,
Gen. Grant reluctantly declines. He
says: eff the facilities of travel are
sufficiently good to warrant it, I ex-
pect to cross over to the Pacific and
return by the way of San Francisco"
He probably feels that the third-term
boom in California needs to be warm
ed over again.

The national library in the Capt.
toll at Washington contains 400, 900
pamphlets; but Mr.. Spofford, Libra
rian, says he has shelf room for only
100000 volumes. He says that "the
collections of the library present
a spectacle of overcrowding and con-
fusion painful to beholders, obtrus-
i've to the Librarian and his assis-
tants in the discharge of their duties,
and extremely injurious to the util-
ity of the library, both to the Houses
of Congress and to the public"

The strong feeling in San Fran
cisco against the Chinese is some
what checked, and there seems just
now a lult in the fierce denunciations
of that race, and the people seem dis
posed to give the Monaghan race a
chance for a while. 1t was thought
a few weeks ago that the Is, 1000 Chi
namen would be showed into the
Pacific ocean; but it now seem that
no one is making all this anti Chi
nese fuss except the blather skite
KearneY and his foolish followers.

L
The Hon. Montgomery Blair, has
published an appeal to the Working
men of this country, which he pre-
faces as follows:
"The issue of 1880 is whether the
great corpoi alton anil moneyed inter
ests, which have controlled the gov
eminent since the war, and applied
it to accumulate the wealth of this
country in the hands of a few, shall
perpetuate this power and policy,
or whether the people shall now as
sert their right to control the govern
ment in the interests of the many"
Mr.. Blair concludes his address in
the words following:
"The time has come, therefore,
when all w~orkingmen can make com
mon cause with the democratic mass
es, and avail themselves of their his
torical organization to rescue the
government from the great corpora
tions and corrupt rings which have
prepared the ray for theimperialism
which now seems imminent, and re.
store it to the people"

that the Illinois delegation in the
Cincinnati convention will, in all
probability, present the name of Col.
William R. Morrison for the pres,

character, his large legislative exper-

state their withdrawal. He is con

that the funds arising from the dog

of the best eyer enacted.

Grant already has one hundred
and twenty-eight votes pledged to
him. Secor Robson says New Jer-
sey shall give him eighteen more,
the republican managers in Missouri
promise to add thirty and Logan has
sworn that Illinois is good for forty.
This will give Grant two hundred
and sixteen votes in the convention.
Three hundred and seventy votes are
required for a choice. The other
one hundred and ffty-four will be
easily obtained from the negroes and
earpet-baggers who constitute the re-
publican party in the South.

The Marietta Times gives the fol
towing boost for Senator THURMAN
as a Presidential candidate:
"In our humble opinion Allen G.
Thurman possesses all the qualifica-
tions of a capdidate for the emer-
gency. He is matured in years, but
strong and vigorous, has had large
experience and knows all the tricks
of the politicians of the day and
could not be deceived by them; his
courage, honesty and craftsmanship
is admitted by all; the people have
confidence in him and would rally to
his support as the embodiment of a
Republic against the one man power
of Grantism. With Thurman against
Grant we have no fear that the right
would not prevail. The Republic is
not dead in the hearts of the people"

So far as the wants and necessi
ties of the people of Ohio were inter

places for the cIamorous horde of
hungry office seekers in the party.

The Supreme Court of Indiana de-
cides that the legal name of a person
consists of one Christian name and a
surname. Any M may have as
many middle names, as are given to
him OF as he chooses to take. They
do not affect his legal name and may
be inserted or not in a deed or con.
tract without affecting its validity.
Nor does a mistake in the middle
initial of a name in a deed, in any
way affect its validity.
