AT the recent meeting of the Society
of the Army of the Potomac, at Hart
ford, Mr.. Daniel Daugherty, of Phila-
delphia, was the orator. In the course
of his address he declared:
mo martial hosts can conquer us; but
there are other foes, more subtle, insidi-
Gus, and fatal. We have swiftly ma
tured, we have reached pre-eminence,
while our history has just rounded a
century. We are entering luxurious
age the age when enervation, Subser-
viency to wealth and power, beget antag-
onistic classes and precede corruption,
degeneTacy, and decay"
There is food for reflection in these
sentences. The orator does not over
draw the picture. Recent developments
in the senatorial struggle in New York,
in which a practiced lobby agent is al
legged to have offered a member large
sum of money for his vote for another
known lobby agent, who has been ha-
bitually employed at Albany during ses-
sions of the Legislature as the agent of
the New York Central railroad, serve to
illustrate the danger; and the flippant
manner in which supporters of Mr..
Vanderbilt's friend respond that the in
creased vote for him is sufficient answer
to the accusation, serve to show that
they hold in light esteem such charge
of crime, and have no adequate estimate
of its Nervousness.
We are entering a luxurious age,"
and the dangers from the corruptiEg in
fluences of wealth and the aVarice of
men are real. In such emergency the
hope and safety of the country, as in
war, depends upon the patriotism and
the conscience of the great middle class
es. If they are true to themselves and
their eountry-if they are watchful of
the encroachments of power-haye rev.
erence for law, the purity of the ballot,
and enlightened. discussion. and sternly
punish and ostracise corruptionists, the
republic is impregnable. "With these"
says Mr.. Daugherty. "she may light With
her glory thousand years! Abandon
them and she will survive but few

yorablehess of the spring gave promise

abege Montreal, SO our boat passed down
through the Lachine Canal, lately en-
larged and improved, and put in excel
icnt condition. At 6 P. NJ. we drew up
apngside one of the ocean steamers
Which belongs to the Allen Line, and
prepared to transfer our lading to that
boat, which is 800 feet long. made almost
wholly of iron, drawing 26 feet of water,
and carrying 400 tons. We remained
on the boat that night, and the next
morning, after taking leave of Captain
Patterson and the other officers of the
boat, who took a great deal of pains to
make our trip pleasant, by administering
TO our wants, and giving all desired in
formation. We started out to take look
at the city. We first visited NOtre
Dame Church or French Cathedral, as it
| is called. 1t is built of stone. and is one
of the largest churches on the continent,
covering nearly an acre in area. We
passed up into the tower, and took a look
at the great bell, which weighs 24,7SO
pounds, and requires u men to ring it.
We then continued our ascent to the top
of the tower, which affords a fine view
of the city. There are sos steps from
the pavement to the top of the tower
We next passed inside, where the first
object that met our view was a huge
oyster shell on either side, partially filled
with Holy Water" The altar was of
immense size, elegantly finished, and
furnished with numerous statues of BIZ
bic scenes and persOnages. Leaving the
church we took drive up to Mount
Royal Park, on the top of the mountain
back of the city. The park has not yet
been much improved. but the drive gives
a fine view of the city, the river, and the
famous Victoria Bridge. Lack of time
prevented our visiting many other points
of interest. Montreal is massive city,
many of the largest buildings being
built of store, with thick and abiding
walls. AT half-past three P. NJ. we took
the train, passed through the great
bridge, and arrived safe and well, at our
destination. in the evening, after long
and pleasant journey. TRAVELLER.

THE Martins Ferry Times has this 10
say of the Bellaire movement:
Now is the time for Republicans
and Democrats of Belmont county to
stand by their colOrs, and let each put
in nomination good and true men, that
the people have confidence in, and who
will not sacrifice their political princi-
pies and opinions on account of some
petty prejudice or for some selfish mo-
tive; and then they will be able to say
to this disturbing element that there is
no terror in their threats, and the "fath-
er of this movement" will see his pro-
ject languish and his followers pine and
sorrow for another period.
Of course the political parties will
"stand by their colors," and that they
will nominate men who are Republicans
or Democrats, as the case may be, and
nothing else, we have no doubt.

THE disinterested young lawyers of
Bellaire, who persist in bedeviling the
people of this county about removing
the seat of justice of the county to a
point more eeonyenient to their offices.
and who have this year, when men of
both political parties regard the choice
OF members of the Legislature matter
of the highest Importance to the welfare
Of the people, Ineedlessly thrown this
disturbing element into the politics of
the county. ARE respectfully reminded
that the seat of justics of the county
was at st. Clairsville when they opened
their Offices at Bellaire, and that they
may be asking too much when they call
upon the political parties of the county
to call a halt and furl their banners
while they enact what in the very nature
of things can be .nothing else than
farce. When they declare the Legisla-
turs has said to them that they "must
frst make the issue at hOme,r they state
a palpable untrHth. Mr. Pugsley, or
some other of the % cut of the ia who
favored removal last winter, may have
made s1eh declaratien-and if he did it
was very foolish and idle One-but the
Legislature never did. When they re-
solved that they are sin favor of vote" "
and that they will nominate ticket,
they know no vote can be of any avail
except such as is presented by law. and
that can not be had next fall. and their
nomination of ticket is an idle threat
which will frighten no one.
Now. what is the duty of Republicans
Unquestioaably to stand by their col
ors-to make no entangling alliances
with that or any other political organi-
zation-aud. disregarding the petty
spites and jealousies of factions, stand
by the integrity of their organization.

The ehairmen of the Democratic com.
mittees of Belmont and Monroe coun.
ties, met last Thursday and fixed upon
Bellaire. Tuesday, August IL, as the
place and time for holding the judicial
convention of that party.
At the beginning of the contest Messrs.
Ross ]. Alexander. o. J. Swsney, and j.
+. ChariesRortif, of this county, and
VIM. Okey. tpresent incumbentl and ].
P. Spriggs, Of Woeds6eId, were candi-
dates. The latter has been disposed of
after the fashion of the Monroe Democ-
racy, and the former has voluntarily
withdrawn from the fight. This leaves
Judge Okey in possession of Monroe
county, and Belmont divided between
her "favorite sons" Belmont will have
fifty-four votes in convention, against
thirty-eight from Monroe, but with a
divided delegation she will be pOwerless.
Since the adoption of our present con-
stitutiOn Monroe county has had a
good share of the fatness which is SUP
posed to issue from the common pleas
bench. Judge Alexander, of this coun-
ty, was the first judge. He served one
term, and was succeeded by John w.
0key, of Monroe, who was elected for
two terms. Next Judge Kennon, jr., was
elected. who died after short service
upon the bench, and was succeeded
by Judge Cowen, jr., who served until
Judge Way was elected and qualified.
Judge Way also died in Office, shortly be-
fore the expiration of his term, but af-
ter his successor had been elected.
Judge Kelly filled out his term. only a
few months, and was succeeded by Judge
Chambers, who served Eve years. Then
comes Judge 0key. who is serving out
his five years. and is willing to try FIVE
more. In other words, since the adop-
ton of the constitution, thirty years ago,
Monroe county with one-half the popu-
lation and about one-third the business,
has furnished judges about eighteen
years. while Belmont has had but
twelve. This can hardly be q fair di-
vide.

GLENCOE.

The weather is pretty warm, with
abundance of rain. Quite bad time fol-
clover hay. Wheat harvest is almost
here, and the rain is giving the meadows
quite start. We think that farmers
who get their grain in safely this COM
ing harvest Will be those who are found
slowing it away as fast as it becomes
dry. Prospect for potatoes good.
The county seat question seems to be
the principal subject for conversation
among the citizens of this vicinity at
the present time. 1t has been said "If
the people get a vote. on it the county
seat will go to Bellaire." We think it
looks that way, although not interested
ia the matter.
We think it very likely that those del
egates to the Cleveland Convention that
the GIZette spoke so fiuently of, must
have been some Democratic" editors
"devils" whitewashed for spies, and the
|whitewashing scaled off just little.
ACCIDENT.-On last Sabbath, as Oil

Nancy j. Coin, in covered spring
wagon, the neck-yOke came loose, and
the brake failed to do its duty. Mr..
Dunfee turned the team to one side, but
the wagon had such start that it
crowded the team upon bank, and the
wagon upset, and turned over several
times. No one was seriously hurt ex-
cept Miss Coin, and she, it is thought,
not fatally. The cover, doubtless, pre-
vented fatal injuries
