Disasters by Rrenklng mp Of lee.

Cincinnati, Jan. 8.-The ice is moving tn
morning in the Ohio river from Pomeroy to
North Bend. The steamer General Lytle
was cut down this morning and sunk in seven
feet of water Mt Coyington landing. She was
valued at $4,000, and may prove total loss.
The I'll Dorado, at Portsmouth, is damaged
to the extent of $4,000. There Is no insur-
ance against such sses. AT noon it was
known large destruction of empty coal
barges attended the breakup of the ice in
the Ohio river in front of Cincinnati The
number lost is said to be fly. Their value
is about $1,000 each, and the total loss is
$50, 600. The owners Of the barges had taken
extraordinary care TO secure them by cables
and their loss was unexpected. The want Of
such barges in case Of coal rise in Ohio is
more than their worth.

Postal Agreement with Canada

The new articles of postal agreement

signed by President Garfield and Sir
Alexander Campbell, provide, in effect:
l. That insufficiently prepaid letters
in Canada for the United States, and in
the United States for Canada, will be
sent forward to the address prepaid one
full rate, leaving the deficient postage
to be collected on delivery. ,. That

law. This lattsr provision is made in
of practice which has be-
gun to assume considerable proportions.

classes of printed matter being only
about one-half that of the United States
rates, business firms in the, United

The Musical Welsh Language.

A traveller in Wales thus describes

spite its uncouth appearance in print it
is really soporous and pleasant sound

some eighty polls, she has a debt OF
about $4,000 The debt was net voted,

wonders the town is in debt ?

THE ISSUE.

the last two dcades has always met its
check by the vigilance of Republicans,
who have watched the disloyal and
subterfuge of principles apparently
underlying the great motive for National
and State support for a reinduction
into the province of political power
patent in securing the loaves and fishes
the bone and sinew of Democratic
strength and joy. The vast Intelligence
OF conscious people pose continuance
OF political power at the hands Of the
friends of loyal government, and not to
it's enemies whose crowning successes
appear in bold denials of the great and
salutary results to our form Of govern
ment through our late civil war, and
the abolition at least of the many per-
niciOus doctrines which a sectional peO-
pie, tainted with previous disleyalty,
choose to exhibit and enfCrce-even at
the point of bayonet. The peace and
apparent good will of the pro-slavery
party now exist as supposed facts, but
after a prodigious effort for the restora-
ton of the "Soutnern claim" History
records the balance. The lessons Of the
sturdy past III the construction Of our
government ought, henceforth, to re-
mind the sectionalIy inclined that,
within the pale Of just reason and loyal
utterance for the integrity of the nation
al structure and its future destiny, re-
mains the only true avenue to party
success and federation. Will the DEM
ocracy of the present period abide the
issue and conform it's doctrines to salu-
tary efforts to unloose itself from the
fragmentary unconstitutional zeal Of
the past, and by conversion into the
principles of loyal and peaceful solu-
ton of self government, absolve the in
iquityo The intermittent tinkering
with false and obsolete opinions relative
to the ways and means of our National
form won't do, except it be when the
general and deserving wants Of the
masses are in question. The stern pur
pose of the period of the Revolution
Of old Jackson may be renewed yet |
not till the gu bstance of the Democracy |
is of east and quality to warrant a
we'll grounded belief that the essence
inherent in our National guide-the |
Constitution, is held to as sacred and
the instrument of Free Government
asserted for the good of all. We want
no modification of our form, but COM
plete recantation Of obsolete opinions
and ceercial sentiment in the matter;
which can only clear up the smoke and
dust Of that party's preregative, which
sought exemption to our victory over
the intended defeat of our great
National progenitor, the U. S. Ne pro-
posed or intended innovations to stulti-
fly the past grand record of the Repub-
Iican party will do, and the actions and
experiments of the Democracy must
have the healing nature of the peoples

A NEW STATE.

Il is announced that Dakota will
knock for admission as state this win
ter. No part of the west is more rapid
ly developing, or is receiving greater
influx of population, and there seems TO
be no reason why this prosperous terri
tory should not be dressed with the
habiliments and dignity of a full fledgcd
member of the Union. Its admission
may be resisted on political grounds, as
a state settled as Dakota IS, with intelli-
gent, energetic and prosperous people,
will be apt to send two Republican sena-
tors to Washington, thus giving that
party the power again. but we appre-
bend mere political reasons cannot long
keep it out. The census enumeration
of 1890 gave Dakota a population of
135, 1s0. PROFESSIONALLY this number
has been largely increased since that
time by immigration, so that its popula-
ton Is now nearer 175, 900. Many of the
old states did not have as great number
o. inhabitants at the time Of their admIs-
sion into the Union. Kentucky was ad-
mitted with only fraction over 5000
inhabitants; Missouri, $4,000; Arkansas,
or. 1000; Mississippi, $1,000; Tennessee,
1O5, 600; Florida, 81 900 while California,
Oregon, Nevada and Nebraska also had
Q smaller number Of inhabitants when
admitted as states.
The growth of Dakota since 1t was
opened for settlement in 1859 has been
remarkably rapid, and especially during
the last five years. The following table

they are agitating the plan Of licensing
saloons to sell lemonade and soda water
with the tacit understanding that they
may sell beer and whisky, and not be
prosecuted therefor. The Monitor op.
oses it and says, among other things:
"The supreme court OF the United
States has decided that the power rests
absolutely with the people of n state, to
regulate and prohibit the sale of ardent
spirits, If they see proper TO do so. Kan
sas adopted an amendment 10 her or
ganic law prohibiting 1t. The legisla-
ture passed law TO carry this amend
ment into effect. The supreme court of

stItutional, and It Is therefore the con-
stitutional law of this state, which every
officer is sworn 10 support, and actual
resistance to the law, or resort TO any
but legal means To resist, is rebellion
against the laws Of the State"
That is stating it strongly, but very
correctly. The prOhibitory law Is not q
mere advertisement, but a valid and I'M
mistakable statute. with specific PEN
alties for its violation. There is no hon
est way In which such q law can be
evaded; and an officer who connIves Of
or consents TO such an evasion does not
care much for his oath.

Guiteau was brought into the court

doing his part. His continual thrusting
of his obnoxious person before the court
and audience, and his cheeky attempts
70 shoot off his brainless speeches, will
only disgust the public. There is too
much coarse and offensive
egotism in his proceedings. If there
were signs of remOrse or penitence over
the terrible crime for which he is being
tried, there would be at least q greater
degree Of patience among the people to-
ward him. He seems rather to glory in
the act which rid the country of the
president, and attempts the role of q
martyr. There is entirely too much
method in his actions. Below all is the
unavoidable conviction that he did the
killing designedlY, for fame, with the
hope that the insanity dodge would save
his neck. and then he might get the
coveted fame by filling the country with
twaddle about his worthless life.

Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks, in review
ing his senatorial career, speaks Of
Reverdy johnson as the ablest lawyer in
the senate during his term. Charles
Sumner succeeded in having more of
his views embodied in the laws of the
country than any other man. Bucka-
lew, of Pennsylvania, was q debater of
rare force, and produced during the
stress of his senatorial duties the ablest
book that has been written on minority
representation. CARAT Davis was the
most fearless debater he ever saw; but
not always considerable. DOolittle, OF
Wisconsin, was the finest orator. John
Sherman was always ready for action.
Trumbull was eminent as lawyer and
debater. Governor Morton was an able
leader, but extreme in his expressions
strength and earnestness were his Pc
culiarities.
