As we stated in former letter steuben.
vile Republicans are slow to get down to
work, but that when they did they meant
business, and We think the truth Of our re.
mark has been proven tonight. On last
Monday evening committees were ap-
pointed to canvass the city for members
for Central Garfield Club. and as given
in our dispatches last night they met at
that time and reported membership Of
S61, aud that with five canvassers to hear
from. Atthe close OF the meeting 20 ad-
ditional persons signed the roll, making
grand total OF 800, and II Is safe to say
that by Saturday evening next, the time
for the next meeting, round thousand
will be enrolled. The enrolling OF Dr..
Warner and John Henry, two Democrats,
created great enthusiasm. The wisdom OF
the meeting was shown in the election OF
Hon. Robert Sherrard rs President oi the
club. Mr.. S. delivered short, sharp,
telling address, and the meeting closed
with three rousing cheers for Garfield and
Arthur.
While paying visit to the Office OF the
clerk OF the court the other day, our at.

Jefferson county bar, containing pictures
Of all the members OF the bar except a
few young men who have been admitted
since the gallery was put up. The first
picture is that OF w. @. Ong, Republican,
the head OF which is too large; next a
tolerably fair picture OF w. A. owesney.

a few days ago a Western Asso.
ciated Press dispatch stated that carrier
pigeon released from Columbus had made
the fastest trip on record, and this We do
not believe to he 80, as the bird took near
" 90 hours to make the 40 miles, while
on Saturday, June 2S, 1879, one OF bevy
sent out bv the Hud.on-Antwerp Club
made the distance, 500 miles, between this
city and Hoboken, N. j., in o hours and
ten minutes. The Columbus bird would
thus have about II hours TO make the ex.
ira ll0miles.
