A Big Meeting and q Good
Time.
Little Business but LOSS OF Fun
Naw YoRK. Dec. 2. 1881.

NBw York, Dec. 2, 1881.
The army Of Ohio Editors gathered
ut the enterprising city Of youngstown
en- Tuesday last in response to the call
.,f I. F. Mack, President Of the State
association, or, I should have said
commenced to arrive there on that
day, but did not all arrive till late
Wednesday forenoon; and consequent
iy no business meeting was attempted
to be held until after 9 o'clock of the
latter day. We spent the mean time
in riding about the city and viewing
its wonderful improvements and vast
industries. Twenty-three years have
elapsed since our last visit to the place,
and in that time its growth has been
most astonishing. Then it was q mere
hamlet not larger than our own beau
tiful town, but now 1t is one of the
largest, most wealthy and most thrifty
Inland cities of the State. In the de-
cade from 1850 to 1880 her population
increased nearly 53 per cent, and we
are told that since the taking of the
last census from 1000 to 5000 people
have been added to her number.
On Tuesday evening we all attended
a concert given at the Opera House by
the celebrated violinist, Remenyi,
which was q most magnificent affair.
The Opera House is q splendid struc-
ture and was filed ON the occasion to
it's full capacity by An appreciative and
admiring audience.
At 9:15 Wednesday morning the
Editors from various parts of the State,
to the number of about 200, met in
Convention at the Opera House, and
were welcomed on behalf of the citi-
zens Of youngstown by Mayor Law
theirs in neat and appropriate address,
which was briefly responded to by I.
+. Mack, President of the Association.
The meeting then proceeded to the
transaction of some business, but
nothing was done Of any particular
interest to tho general public. The
former officers were reelected, except
the Vice. President, who died during
the excursion last year. I. T. Irvine,
Esq, of the GAINESVILLE Signal, was
elected to that Office.
On Wednesday, at IL: 10 p. M, the
Fire Department gave display on the
Diamond and acquitted themselves
very handsomely.
At L: ID p. M, the n1ombers Of the
Association, with number Of the lead
ing men Of the city took the cars and
started upon q. tour of inspection to
the various industries Of the city,
which have added SO largely to her
population and wealth and of which
her people are 80 justly proud. With
out going into tedious detail, the care
fully prepared statement by e. H. An
irews, Esq. showing the railroad tom
mage Of tho city for 1886, will furnish
some adequate conception Of the pro-
ductions Of its mines and workshops ::

The heaviest explosion Of nitro
glycerine that has ever taken place in
the oil country occurred ON Monday
last, in the magazine Of the Roberts
Torpedo Company. The canse of the
explosion is attributed to spontaneous
combustion. Its force was such as to
completely shatter large forest trees
for acres around; windows at a mis-
lance of half mile were broken, and
in various other ways it's terrific yio-
lence was observed at even greater

The visit to these institutions was
interesting to all and occupied the en-
tire time till dark.
AT 8 O'Clock in the evening a ban
quet was given to the Association at
the Tod House, which did great credit
TO the proprietor Of that popular house
and his corps of efficient assistants.
The spacious dining rooms were TASTE
fully decorated for tho occasion and
presented a magnificent appearance.
Festoons Ofred, white and blue ribbons
were draped gracefully from each
chandelier to the iron columns, while
festoons Of evegkreens were woven
from column to column. The pillars
were circled with evergreen, while
stars and wreaths artistically arranged
between the pillars, hung from the
ceiling. At the extreme east end Of
the room was motto which read as
follows: "The One Greater Boon
Than the Public Press is the Official
Public Printing" Under this were
the letters 20. K. A." At the west
end of the hall was . sketch represent
ing quill driver In a press with his
Satanic Majesty turning the screw in
order to make him turn out more copy.

from the expression ofhis eountenance
at having secured an editor beyond all
hope of recovery. The artist was J..
T. Nicholl. On the right and left Of
the hall between the windows. which
were wreathed with evergreen, were
paintings of BoyhoOd Days, Dread
naught, Devils Hoof, and the News
boy and BOotblack. The walls were
also decorated with paintings of wild
game that suggested visions of satisfied
appetite and premature gout. From
the main arch in the hall was sus-

were all in excellent taste.

The two dining rooms were connected
by q covered archway and nothing
was neglected that could add to the
comfort and convenience of the guests.
All the arrangements were perfect in
detail and the banquet to the Editorial
was a success in every par
ticular. Suspended in the air were
fine specimens of the feath-
,red tribe. A steel engraving of Guten-

adorned the wall.

not INDICATED himself and we ad-
here to our former opinion-that he

further opinion, that if he does not
resign, and the county court has the
power to remove him, that it should
do so. We are charitable enough
to believe thai he may now be man
of pure life and honest purposes,
but for obvious reasons it will be
seen that his continuance in offic
may prove seriously detrimental to

Hon. Horace Maynard.
Memphis Ledger Dem. }

It is given out that Hon. Horace
Maynard will retire from public life
and settle down at his h"me in
Knoxville. Mr.. Maynard has been
in the public service over quarter of
a century, but has never been charg-
ed with using his position or inf1o
ence to enrich himself or his family.
His integrity is unques toned; he has
preserved his self respect, and enjoys
the personal goodwill of all who
know him, even to his bitter political
opponents. This is something to
Say - something worth living for
through such trying times when
many able men in high positions have
fallen into disgrace or laid them>
selves liable to suspicion. Mr..
Maynard is courtly looking man,
but not cordial with the masses. He
succeeded in life by virtue Of superior
talents and cold, fixed purpose
to accomplish something. To those
who know him we'll he is exceeding~
ly affable and pleasant, and will talk
by the hour in an easy, flowing man
ner upon any topic within the range
of human knowledge. Since he failed
to be elected to the Senate it
may be his choice to retire to his
modest home in Knoxville, but the
Republican administration makes a
mistake in allowing such a man to
retire. He is not far advanced be-
yond middle age, is in the very prime
Of intellectual vigor and ripeness of
thought and experience. It is not
likely that he will long appear in the
role of O retired statesman. The
Knoxville district is overwhelmingly
Republican, and we take it for granted
that he can be elected to Congress as
easy as say the word.

THE DEBT WILL BE SETTLED.
This morning we present to OF

This morning we present to our
readers the proposition presented to
the governor by the Tennessee
bon1holdrrs for a compromise of
their ella ms against the State. The
names of the holders are given with
the humber of bonds held by each,
which shows that the proposition is
not a sham. A nong those names
will be found the names Of the larg-
est holders of Tennessee bonds, as
Well as many Of the smaller ones.
Tnese names, it is claimed, were
procured in one weeks time, and to
our minds there is no doubt that all
the holders will will ngly and volun-
tarlly accept this basis of settle
ment. Ii is the most reasonable
proposition that has ever been made
by the bondholders. The amount
required to pay the interest on the
new bonds will be the same as would
be required were the debt settled on
the basis of SO and 6, and under
this method we escape from the
odium Of scaling our Indebtedness.
The interest will be easily met, with>
out the burden of high taxes, and
long before it falls due the principal
may be paid without the slightest
inconvenience to the Taxpayers.
With this question out of the
way, the STATE will enter new and
unprecedented era of prosperity,
aud before the close of the present
century our taxable property will
be worth double what it now is, aid
neither the interest nor principal
will give US any trouble. All our
information from Nashville leads US
to believe that the prop osition will
be accepted by the legislature, with
but little If any change. We have
conversed with a large number o
taxpayers since it was known tina
the proposition would be made, anC
without an exception they have ex'
pressed the hope that it would b'
accepted without delay. The enc
mics Of State credit have beer
cbuckllng in their sleeves and say
ing that this Legislature would d.
nothing. We confess that we our
selves have felt discouraged abou
the matter at times. But thi
liberal proposition on the part of tn
bohdholders came i'll good time, an
unless We are greatly mistaken il
the temper of the legislature, it vii
be accepted, and a question that ha
been an incubus in the way of GU
prosperity will be forever remove
from the politics of our State. W
have always felt proud Of the Vol
unteer State, the home of Jackso
and Polk and Johnson, and we nov
believe that We will never hav
cause to blush at being a Tennes
seean.
