Seventeen Republican votes were
recorded against Conkling in the Sen
ate yesterday, thus showing that the
Administration Republicans have
there a clear majority over both Conk'
ling Republicans and Democrats. This
makes futile any Conk!ing coalition
with the Democrats for adjournment
without an election, and ends Samuel
J. Tilden' S usefulness as harmonizer
of the Republican party. There is
nothing more for Vice-Presldent Ar
thur to do as trader, aud the quick
err he leaves Albany the greater SER
vice will he perform for his party

Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS deliv-
cred a lecture in New York few nights
ago on civil service reform, in which he
declared that when Mr.. Lincoln was
President there was a distinguished pub
lie man who was dillgent and notorious
oflice-broker, whom he would call the
Hon. jeremiah Jones, and in that con-
nection related this anecdote of Mr.. Lin
coin:
One day a friend asked Mr.. Lincoln
what was the routine of his daily life
The President began with the sunrise,
and went on to the hour of retirement.
" l 60 to my roorh," he said; :. | think of
the brave boys in the field and on the sea,

The city election at Cincinnati is at
tracing much attention throughout the
State Extreme Sabbatarians and i'm
practicable temperance people down
there are coalescing with with the Dem
ocrats in an effort to defeat the re-elec-
tiOn of Mayor Jacob, upon whom these
good people lay all the blame of the i'm
morality and want of observance of the
sabbath which prevail there. Careful
and unprejndiced Observers outside of
Cincinnati can not agree with this view
of the situation. Mr.. Jacob may have
come short of all the requirements of a
good chief executive of the city, but
when one fairly considers all the diff
culties and embarrassments that ham
per one in his situation, is it any wonder
that he should? Were DIR. Skinner
Mayor, what could he do with the yari-
ety show people, so long as they had a
friend on the police court bench, for ex-
ample? IL Mr.. Jacob is beaten, he mnst
he beaten by the Democratic candidate.
No matter how good man the candi-
date of the party may be, the old crowd
will be at his back, and he will be pow
erless in snch hands. We hope Mr.. ia
cob will be reelected, not simply because
he is Republican. but because, after
fully weighing all the objections urged
against him, We believe his election will
best promote the best interests of So
ciety.

This horse came from Belmont county.

which was complied with. These are
all that have come under my notice.
But from the history of many other sim
liar cases, l think it is prevailing to
quite an extent in and about great por-
tion of Belmont. 1t Should be given at
tention and arrested at once, as far as
possible, which only can be done by de-
stroying all horses affected. Glapdefs
and its variety, farcy, spontaneously de-
veloped are highly contagious and infec-
tious, and when once introduced in a
stable are almost certain to spread
among the horses there located. 1t is a
malignant, contagious and fatal disease.
due TO the introduction into the animal
poison, which infeSts the whole system
and shows its specific effects more espe-
cially upon the Schneiderian mucous
membrane, the lungs, and upon lynn
phatic glands and ducts. Chambers and
farcy originate spontaneously in the
horse. ass and mule, and are capable of
transmission from them to man, and
from man to the horse, ass and mule
The causes of glanders arise from many
debilitatIng influences, such as old age,
bad food, OverwOrk, eXhausting disease,
and general bad management, from ami
NAL poison contracted in ill ventilated,
badly drained, dark and foul stables"
The doctor says he will not treat
horse affected with glImders, because
the disease is incurable and is dangerous
to handle. The books say: 1T has been
d" positively asserted that the CHAMBERS

F." doubted" Farcy, spoken of by DR.. ST.
mons, is milder form of the same dis
ease, and is more sluggish in its actions.
1t is seated in the Emphatic glands and
vessels, while glanders is seated in the
nasal cavities.
The disease is the most loatisome and
sickening known, and is terribly fatal
in its operations. Men and horses some
times recover from it, but as a rule it is
fatal. 1t is not absolutely certain that
men will absorb it without inocula-
tion, but the least scratch on persons
hand or face would be sufficient to in
sure inoculation if the smallest particle
of the poisonous matter should be intro
duced. Hence there is very great danger
in handling the sick horse, or in being
near him while he is coughing. Persons
who have horses affected with this dis
ease are trifiing with their own and their
property, and maybe with
their lives, in attempting to cure the
animals. A safer course is to
at once stamp out the disease with the
bullet and fire. If such persons will not
take this course, then let a rigid quar-
antine be maintained around their prem
ises, as provided in the section of the re-
vised statutes quoted above, and if any
of them violate its provisions let them
be mercilessly prosecuted.

A YEAR ago the Legislature enacted a
law requiring the Commissioners OF the
county to distribute among the town
ships the stock held by the county in the
Central Ohio K. r. company, in proper
tion to the amount of taxes paid by each
toward the original subscription, and
that, after twenty days notice by the
Trustees of the township, the electors of
the township, at p general or special cleo
tiOn, might order the sale of the stock
and make such disposal of the proceeds
of the sale as majority of them by their
ballots determined at such election. Un-
der this distribution Richland township
received stock of the par value of S5,7eO.
1t is proposed to sell this and invest the
proceeds in the completion of the st.
Clairsyille and Northern railroad and to
make connection with the present line
to the Baltimore and Ohio road, and thus
have continuous line of road from the
Tuscarawas Valley, on the north, to the
Baltimore and Ohio, on the south. That
is the question submitted to the people,
for their determination next Monday.
The railroad to Quincy was built by
people of this town. Less than $500 of
the $4,000 which it cost was contributed
by individuals outside the town. The
northern road is being built entirely by
the town, at an additional cost of $4,000.
The $4,000 invested in these two roads
was invested. mainly, to fortify st.
Clairsville as the shire town of the coun-
ty. Except for that reason, possibly,
neither of these roads would have been
built. 1t is necessary for the well being
of both of them that they form con-
tinuous line of road, so that a train can
pass from the Baltimore and Ohio juno
tion to the Tuscarawas Valley junction.
economically and satisfactorily man
aged Indeed, this is essential to the
welfare of both roads. To do this an
outlay of $1,000 or $4,000 more than is
now provided Will be required Inc
people of the township outside of st.
Clairsville, who are deeply interested in
the prosperity of ST. Clairsyille, now have
an opportunity to render practical and
valuable assistance to- the town, without
hurting themselves in any way. The
majority of those who will vote upon
this question next Monday, perhaps,
have come into the township or have
become taxpayers since the money rep
resented by this stock was paid, and
those remaining who helped to pay it
surely can fnd no worthier object to APP
ply it than the one proposed. We hope
the vote will be, practically, an ,unani-
nous one.

THE Republican caucus of the United
States Senate has nominated one Rid
dleberger, of Virginia, an ex-Confedel-
ate soldier, for Sergeant-at-arms. Rid
dleberger is said to be au intimate friend
of Senator Malone. If this nomination
was made in consideration of Senator
Mahone's vote, IL is unwise and impoli-,
tic, aud Republican Senators will do the
cause and the country good service if
they will bolt the action of the caucus.
1t is matter of little moment to the Re
publicans who fill The Offices in the SEN
ate: it is matter of great moment that,
for the sake only of the few who may
he chosen 10 fill those places, that the
party should Kot be betrayed into CO.
alition with repudiatoIs. Far better let
the organization of the Senate remain
as it is than resort to such means to get
control of it.

CHAMBERS AMONG THE HORSES.
Much Excitement Over a Malignant
and Incurable Disease--The Cover
nor and Prosecuting Attorney. I'm
pOrtuned to Come to the Rescue
Description of the Disease.

A loathsome and fatal disease made
its appearance among the horses of Mr..
Jackson Creamer. farmer of Mead
township, about a year ago. The dis
ease developed itself very slowly, but
finally showed itself to be acute CLAM
ders. Four of Mr.. Creamer's horses
died. and the dread disease, spread itself
slowly around that neighborhoed, reach
ing up this way as far as Glencoe, and
down to Neff s Siding and Bellaire. The
people Of all that region are greatly, ex-
cited about it, and have appealed to the
Governor and to the Prosecuting Attor-
ney to take steps to stamp it out. The
Governor referred the complainants to
section 1855 of the revised statutes, which
provides that whoever disposes of an
animal knowing it to have an infectious
or contagious disease, or to. have been
recently exposed thereto, without first
disclosing to the individual to whom it
is disposed of, that it has such disease,
or has beer exposed to it, or permits
such animal to run at large, or permits
such animal to come in contact with any
such animal of another person, shall be
fined not more than five hundred nor
less than twenty dollars, or imprisoned
not more than twenty days, or both. The
Prosecuting Attorney holds that he can
only act when complaint is made under
the foregoing section. Persons who
own horses not yet affected by the mala-
dy insist that the law is not equal to the
emergency, and that in the presence of
such an overshadowing calamity the
Governor should exercise somewhat of
the war power-that he should order all
infected horses killed and burned-and
that, unless some such radical measures
are adopted, man and beast alike
throughout that region are in imminent
danger from the plague. The danger is
a serious one, but the remedy proposed
is impracticable. Infected animals, and
animals that have been exposed to the
disease, can be successfully quarantined
under the above section. This should
be carefully done, and in the mean
time persons taking horses into the in
fected district should be extremely care
full in feeding and watering. Such per-
sons should in all cases carry their own
bucket along with them, and never per-
NIT the animals in their charge to eat or
drink from any other vessel, and should
keep their animals from immediate con-
tact with the animals of that district.
Care in the particulars indicated and a
merciless enforcement of the law against
all offenders may prevent the further
spread of this plague. The authorities
can not act except AS authorized by law

EVERY Republican voter of Belmont
county should attend the polls next
Monday and cast his ballot and other
wise assist in securing Republican
victory. A favorable result at this cleo
tion will help the cause much in next
falls campaign. The Legislature chosen
this year will redistrict the State for
Congressman. That fact will render the
fall election of this yeM. an unusually
important one, and hence anything that
Republicans can fairly do which will
strengthen their arms in the coming au-
tumn should not be neglected.

The Wheeling Intelligencer expresses
the opinion that the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad is at last in hands that
will insure its completion, and thinks a
railroad bridge across the river at that
point very desirable, but that the city
should be very conservative in the matter
of aid to a bridge. The Intelligencer
holds that the Cleveland & Pittsburgh,
the Tuscarawas Valley, and the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie should be able in
their own interests to contribute largely
to such an advantage.

WE learn from private source that
the clamor and persistence of place hun
tiers is telling upon the health of Presi-
dent Garfield. The President, in his
goodness and greatness of heart, finds it
difficult to say "no" to any poor soul who
appeals to him, and thus, unable to aid
all of the thousands who appeal to him,
he is being worried to death. The Hart
ford Post reports that Secretary Blaine,
too, is suffering from overwork, and that
unless he gets some relaxation he will
utterly break down.
