Kentucky Justice.

Virgil McManus is described as a
rough, wild sort of fellow, who resides
in the State of Kentucky. John Pow
ell also resides in the State of
Kentucky John is a colored man,
Virgil is an Irishman. Some time
ago, they became involved in a quar-
rel. Shortly afterward Virgil was out
squirrel-hunting. Who should he see
come riding through the woods, but
the colored man-Powell? McManus
could not stand the sight of Powell
going quietly about his business, so
he raised his shotgun and treated
Powell to two loads of bird shot.
Then what did the impudent ''nigger"
do but get down off his horse, gather a
club, and knock that Irishman as cold
as Charles Francis Adams? The Irish
man recovered-so did the colored man.
And that colored man is now serving
a SIX months term III prison because
he would not sit still, like good mig
GER" and allow Virgil McManus to
fill him with bird-shot!

Judge Harper.

The Portsmouth Tribune came out
earnestly last week for Judge Harper
for Congress. Now we do not intend
to take sides either for or against any
candidate. If we live, we intend to
support the nominee of the Republi-
can convention. We do not care in
which county the nominee may reside.
Scioto county claims the nominee, be-
cause that county has never had Re-
publican candidate for Congress.
There is something in that.
Now as to Judge Harper. We be-
lieve that we deserve some credit for
giving Judge Harper the deserved
prominence he now has before the
public When the Judge in this sub
division had become utterly incompe-
tent to discharge the duties of the
office, we suggested John J. Harper
as a candidate, and being a member OF
the convention, we urged his nomina-
ton, and succeeded. We thought we
saw in him rising young man, and
we were not mistaken. He has been
one of the ablest, purest, and most in
dependent Judges in the State. He
is man in the very prime of life,
with far above the average ability of
members of Congress. He is man
of pure life and character, and true
gentleman in every sense of the word.
When Judge Harper was candi-
date for reelection, one of his ''fool
friends wrote to us not to urge him
as Republican, as he could get many
Democratic votes. This caused q
slight unpleasantness, but Judge Har-
per came to see US at once, and assured
us that he had never been ashamed OF
being Republican, and this is true
of him, that he has never Wavered IL
his Republicanism.

An ImpOrtant Controversy?

Quite a controversy has been going
on, for some time, in the public prints,
as to who captured the rebel General
John Morgan. Statements, CONTRA
dictions, and reiterations, have passed
in rapid succession. This great ques-
ton should be settled beyond dispute,
and as speedily as possible. Fifty
millions of people are on tiptoe of ex-
pectation with regard to the outcome
They are firmly of the opinion that
somebody captured John Morgan.
''The rebel rides on his raids no more"
the farmers who formed the acquaint-
ance of the great chieftain through
having their horses stolen by his COM
mand, have carefully slowed away
their claims beneath the Innings Of
their hats, Mr.. Morgan has been dead
for many years, and the Morgan Raid
bids fair to take its place among the
half-forgotten things of the past
when it was suddenly discovered that
all was not clear as to who captured
Morgan. One man published in the
Cincinnati papers a few days ago, a
copy of an official report made by him
while a Union officer, showing that
he had captured Morgan. This is an
Ohio man, named Rue. We may
therefore, accept Major Rue's Report
as true. He captured Morgan-he
says he did, his report shows it. Well
suppose he did. Does it make a par
ticle Of difference in the history Of
Morgans Raid? Are the owners Of
stolen horses any better off? Was the
defeat Of the rebel chieftain made the
more humiliating by the fact Of hi;
surrendering to any officer in particu
lar? Do the flowers upon the grave
Of the great raider bloom more beau
tifully, or does his tomb have about i
a more solemn air, because of this con
troversy-nearly- seventeen years afte.
the capture?

The Democratic party is, as usual,
following in the rear of the Republi-
can party. 1t is a sort Of habit it has
allowed itself to get into, and it has
come to be a second nature. Three
years ago, we were treated to great
deal Of ''gush" about the Republican
party stealing the Presidency. Of
course all this nonsense came from
Democrats. Now the Democrats
have adopted theft as their plan Of
action in the next Presidential con-
test, and to that end they are doctor
ing" the majority in the House, with
a view to the contest being thrown
into that body. But they will merely
waste their time and labor. Even
should Republican steal, his Demo-
cratic friend could not initiate him
without bungling the job, although
the spirit might he never so willing.

ONO has one man of whom she may

OHIO has one man of whom she may
we'll feel proud. Its truly refreshing
in the exciting field of politics to
find a man Of absolute purity of mind,
and whose convictions Of right are so
deep-seated that nothing can shake
them. But Ohio has that man.
Our readers have heard Of him before
His name is Thomas Ewing. In the
debate over the appropriation for the
payment of Deputy Marshals, in the
National House of Representatives.,
on last Friday, Gen. Ewing took oc-
casion to express his firm conviction
that the people of the North are tired
of the Republican party. The Gen
eral claimed that recent elections
pointed to this state of things. Six
months ago Republican beat Gen.
Ewing over seventeen thousand in the
State of Ohio.

The eminent English writer, DIR.
Richardson, produces in one of our
contemporaries, an article called
Health at Home. which is replete
with wisdom. A most important
point, and one on which he dwells, is
the fact that so many people are afraid
of the light. ''In dark and gloomy
house you never can see the dirt that
pollutes it. Dirt accumulates on dirt,
and the mind soon learns to apologize
for this condition because the gloom
conceals it. Accordingly, when Il
house is dark and dingy, the air be-
comes impure, not only on account Of
the absence Of light, but from the i'm
purities which are accumulated. Now,
as Dr. Richardson cleyerl ly puts it, we
place flowers in our windows that
they may have the light. If this be
the case, why should We deprive
ourselves of the sunshine and expect
to gain health and vigor? Light, and
plenty of it, is not only purifier Of
things inanimats, but it absolutely
stimulates our brains. It's i'll regard
to sick rooms that this excellent au-
thority IS particularly impressive. 1t
used to be the habit Of physicians in
old times to sedulously darken the
rooms, and this practice continues to
some extent even to day. In certain
very acute cases Of nervous diseases,
where light, the least ray of it. disturbs
in order exciting the visual organs,
this darkening of the room may be
permitted, but ordinarily to keep light
out of the room is to deprive the pa
tent of one Of the vital forces. Child
rem OF old people condemned to live in
darkness are pale and wan, exactly like
