The First Governor of Ohio.

The question has been asked us,
"Who was the first Governor of Ohio?''
In October, 1857, Congress appointed
General Arthur st. Clair Governor of
the Territory of Ohio. He arrived at
Marietta on the 9th of July, 17SS, and
proceeded to organize the Territory
He served IS Governor from 17SS to
1902, when he was removed by Presi-
dent ] Jefferson. Charles Willing Byrd,
who was Secretary of the Territory
also served as acting Governor during
the closing months of the Territorial
Government.
On the 1st day of November, 1902,
under Congressional enabling act,a
Constitutional Convention met at
Chillicothe to form a Constitution for
State Government. That body con-
cludsd its labors on the 10Th of the
same month. The State Government
was organized on the Sd of March 1908,
in pursuance of thr State Constitution.
Edward Tiffin wac the first Governor
elected in Ohio. He was elected in
1903, having received 4, ,564 votes. He
was reelected in 1905, having received
4, 1853 votes. No votes appear to have
been polled against him at either cleo
ton. Return J. Meigs was his imme-
diate succession. His election was con-
tested by Nathaniel Massie, and from
that day to this no man has run for
Governor in Ohio without opposition.

What Nihilisnl Means.
Cincinnati Times-Star.


The Russian Government must de-
strOy Nihilism or Nihilism will de-
stroy the Government. 1t is duel to
the death. Which should be the vic
tor? The despOlism of Russia is the
most rigorous anu terrible in the world.
The poorer classes are practically in
slavery. They are beasts of burden,
without any hope of a better condition
so long as the people have no voice in
the Government. But what is Nihil-
ism, and what does it promise? Mi
chael Bukunin, who has been called
the father of NiIlilism, said i'm speech
at Geneva in 1865: 1.-The first duty
of mankind is to Obliterate from the
heart any belief in God, who is but
the persOnificatiOn of absolute tyranny
Invented with the idea that nine -tenths
of the world should be subject to the
remaining tenth. Tear out of your
hearts the belief in the existence of
God, for as long as an atom of that SUI
perstitiOn remains, you will never
know what freedom is. The second lie
is right. Might invented the fiction
of right in order to insure her reign.
When you have freed your mind from
the fear of God, and that childish re-
spect for the fiction of right, then all
the rema; ming chains which bind yor, !,
and are called science, civilization,
property, marriage, morality and jus
tice, Will snap asunder like threads :;
let your own happiness be your only
law" That is Nihilism. Is il prefer
able to despotism?

The What 1t.

In the course of his speech, Senator
Brown, abiding to the alleged bargain
between Malone aud the Republicans,
said that if there was bargain the
Democrats would not be parties to it.
If it had been carried out on one side
they would not help deliver the goods.
The situation reminded him of the
story of the coon and skunk. The
coon had left home one day, and on
his return found some other animal in
the hollow of his tree. He thought it
was pole-cat, and challenged it as
such.
"No,' said the pole-cat, "I am a
coon."
"You don't look like coon."
"But [ am COON
"YOu don't smell like coon, and
you amt a COON"
This transaction did not look exact
ly like proper transaction, and it did
not smell like proper transaction.
The Republican side reminded him of
the man who had caught a wolf, and
then had to call to friend to help him
let it 60.

AN article in the financial column
OF the London Times, in which such
matters are discussed, alludes as fol-
lows to the forthcoming international
monetary commission: We are as
sured that there is some ground to
anticipate that France and the United
States will become bi. metallic nations
for a certain period. 1t is hoped that
the countries of the1Atin union will
follow their example, that Germany
will agree to continue the suspension
of the sale of silver, and that England
will undertake, on behalf of India,
not to give up the silver standard for
the same PERIOD" Silver is aud ever
has been the money of the world.
Both France and the United States are
bi-metallic nations. In both silver is
standard coin, the only difference be-
ing that France, in order to maintain
n certain relative proportion of gold
and silver in circulation, has Temporal
rily suspended the coinage of silver.
I'm France the standard is Isl. to l,
against 16 TO in the United States.
One of the objects of the commission
will be to give uniformity to the STAN
dards, that all coins of certain par
value shall be of equal weight as bull
lion.

DEERFIELD,

CoyTesponaenee.
On Sunday, the 3rd, that old Demo-
cratic war horse, George Hartzell,
passed over the mysterious sea that
never yet was known to bear on any
wave the image of a homeward sail.
Mr.. Hartzell was an old, respected and
prominent citizen of our township and
the genial and kindly countenance of
"Uncle George" will long be missed
by his many friends.
Our election passed off with a spirit
and vim that made a rafting among
the Republican dry bones of Dserfield.
The Republicans had a regularly nom-
mated caucus ticket in the field, and
some of the better class of Republicans
united with the Democrats and put
forth an independent ticket which was
triumphantly elected. "How is that
for high" in township that gives
Republican majority of about 125? The
officers elected were as follows: Trus-
tees, ]. w. Gillingham, f. d. Tibbals,
Reps, and J. S. Wilson, DEM; Clerk,
Isaac Wilson, DEM; Treasurer, Henry
Muernan, Dem,; Assessor, A. ]. Slack
Rep; Constables, F. NJ. Byers, Rep, I
w. Smith, DEM; Sexton, - Westo-
yer, Rep. Carry the news to Fluhart.
He wanted some person to send him
the election returns, and avail myself
of the privilege from Deerfield. Dost
like the picture ?" Tell him the Deer
field ring is smashed, scotched, gone
to - Well, every Independent feels
good. There were several reasons for
the rout suffered by the ring man
ayers, among which may be noticed
the fact that, in making up their ticket
they pandered to the temperance ele
ment in order to smoothe down the
Republican failure to give them the
promised temperance legislation, and
reason was, that in the ring
are some bummers who have a chron-
evry spring for some little
office that brings in small
of money for still smaller
amount of work very poorly done.
This is notably the case with their
for clerk and assessor, both |
of whom have good farms and we'll. to-
do as to the comforts of life, but in |
whom the itch to hold some small of |
flee or some petty appointment that
don't :" look much like work )" has be-
come a chronic affection. The sym. !
pathies Of your correspondent go out |
to Wann, Hoffman, Forsythe, Hub
bard, Chris. LeGrange, ct Get, but the
only consolation he can give them is
that there will be another election next |
Spring, if it don't turn out to be an
BURR.

TIE area of the Russian Empire is
1881 Goa square miles. The popula-
ton, including Poles, Firms, Caucas-
ians, and Asiatics, is S5. .6S5, ,9l5. The
area of Russia proper is l ,S9l ,216 miles,
and the population 90, 704, $50. No
other country in Europe has as large a
territory or many Inhabitants. The
late Gar ascended the throne March
=, 1855, after the battles of Balaklava
and Inkerman, and in the midst of the
siege of Sebastopol. His reign was eX-
actIy twenty-six years and eleven days
i'm duration. His father, Nicholas,
reigned thirty years QS25-1S55) and his
great uncle, Alexander L., twenty four
years QS01-1S25). There have been but
three Cars of Russia i'm this century.
Alexander Ill, now on the throne,
was 36 years of age this day week
ago; and will, unless he meets an un-
timely end, live to complete the CEN
tury in four generations. The late
Car of Russia who met his death at
the hands of an assassin previous to
the late Emperor, was Paul the son of
the famous CatherineO 1866 -1S0D. Spite
of the repeated attempts upon the
lives of the rulers of Russia, the aver
age length of reigns in that Kingdom
has been greater than in most other
countries of Europe.

Intcresting Information.

The chief Of the bureau of statistics
furnishes some interesting informa-
ton in regard to immigration into the
United States. His statistics show
that there arrived at the ports of Bal
timore, Boston, Detroit, Eastport, New
Bedford, New Orleans, New York,
Philadelphia, Port Huron and San
Francisco, during the month ending
February 2S, 1881, 17,16G passengers,
of whom 15,O75 were immigrants, 1882
citizens OF the United States returning
from abroad, and 600 aliens not in
tending to remain in the United States.
Of the total number of immigrants,
there arrived from England and Wales
1884; Scotland, 1872; Ireland, S96
Germany, 5272; Austria, 1884 Sweden,
1863; Norwsy,39 /; Denmark, so France
214; Switzerland, 422; Netherlands,
L; Italy, 971; Russia, "a; Poland, 96;
Hungary, 256; Dominion of Canada,
2379; Chino, 3O4; Australia, los, and
from all other countries, 226. The
number OF immigrants arriving at the
above named ports during the eight
months ending February %, 1881, was
as follows: From Germany, 5000;
Dominion of Canada, 77,21S; England
and Wales, 1926; Ireland, 36.161;
BOTS; China, 3,517; all 9TH
er countries, 67,073. 1t will be seen
that our Canadian neighbors are be-
to appreciate the blessings of
iveness of our more generous climates
and soils.

THERE is no change in the situation
at the National Capital. Garfield call
ed the Senate together for the trans
action of Executive business. Many
appointments have been sent to that
body for confirmation, but the Repub-
ljcan members refuse to act upon them,
and declare that no business shall be
transacted until the few petty officers
of the Senate are chosen. They insist
that the question involved is whether
or not the majority shall be permitted
to rule-that great principle is in.
volved. But in fact the only question
at issue is whether they shall be per.
mitted to carry out most wicked and
corrupt bargain, by which the Rebel
brlgadier and repudiater from Vir-
ginia, Malone, was to be given the
control of certain federal patronage
in consideration for his vote. And
the Republicans will allow nothing to
be done until they are permitted to
carry out the corrupt bargain. The
principle involved is that of the loaves
and fishes.

The Republicans in the Senate yes
terday refused TO consider resolution
looking to the protection of the rights
of an Irish-American citizen at pres
ent imprisoned in England on the
charge Of seditiou. Such disregard
of the rights of citizens, especially
those of Irish birth, is characteristic
of the Republican party. If the MAJ
was fortunate enough to have black
skin, the government would move
heaven and earth in order TO SECURE
his release, but as he is only an Irish
man, he will have to look out for him
self. If he should be condemned to
the gibbet he could hope for nothing
from this government, though it has
pledged him its protection.-[St. Paul

SENATOR DAWES isgreatly exercised
about what he calls the Mississippi
plan of carrying elections. The Mass
achusetts and Rhode Island plan of
disfranchising men because of their
foreign birth or poverty, is, we pre-
sumo, all right in the Senator's eyes.
La Massachusetts about a hundred and
fifty thousand adult citizens are dis
iranchised because they are too poor
TO pay taxes, while more than a quar-
ter of the adult population of Rhode
Island is disfranchised either through
the operation of the property qualifi-
cation or because OF their foreign
birth. There is but little difference
between the Mississippi aud the New
England plans of disfrsnchisement.
Senators like Dawes, who live in glass
houses, should not throw stones.
