a plan for recognizing the independ-
ence Of the Southern Confederacy,"
and giving material aid to the South
ern States, and the Czar was invited
to join in the movement. Instead Of
replying, the Czar issued sealed orders
to his chief naval officer, and directed
him to the harbor of New York, and
in case England or France attempted
to interfere in the war between the
States, to open the sealed orders and
act upon them. 1t is now claimed, on
good authority, that these sealed Or
ders directed the Russian Admiral to
proceed to Washington and tender to
the United States Government the use
Of his entire feet, coupled with the
assurance that the Russian Govern
ment stood. behind it, ready to assist
when called upon.
Assuming the truth Of all this, it
would seem that recognition" from
England, or France, or both, would
not have availed the "Confederacy,"
but would possibly have brought
about general international war. Tits
well that England and France kindly
permitted us to whip our Democrats
without any interference.

Township Elections.

Whenever the Democrats think
they have no chance for success in a
township Or corporation election, they
become non-partisan, and want poll
tics ignored; but in every locality
where they have any hope Of success,
they nominate their own candidates,
and make square party fight.
At the election in Lick township
last October, the Republican majority
on the State ticket was So. Now
there is no reason why this majority
should be decreased at the April cleo
ton. The ticket nominated by the
Republicans is a good one, in every
respect, and every Republican in the
township should vote the ticket un-
scratched. It serves to keep up the
organization for the more important
elections, when the party keeps its
forces we'll in hand. Vote the clean
Republican ticket.
What we have said of Lick town.
ship will apply to all the other town.
ships in the county, SO far as keeping
up the organization is concerned.

In the early part of February, F. c.
Sessions, President of the Commercial
Bank Of Columbus, received letter
demanding one hundred thousand dol
lars, or the writer said he would mur-
der the banker. Mr.. Sessions answer
ed through one Of the Columbus pa
pers, saying that he thought the
amount excessive, and that if it could
be reduced one-half he would consid-
er the matter. He then received an
other letter, saying that there were
four Of them, and they must have the
first named amount, or the life Of Mr.
Sessions, and they proposed place Of
meeting. Mr.. Sessions put detectives
On the watch, and suspicious looking
fellows were seen, but no arrests were
made. At one time as many as TWEEN
ty-fve detectives were engaged, som'
dressed as soldiers, some as citizens
and some as women.

THERE is an effort being made in
the Legislature to have an appropria-
ton made Of million dollars, to pur-
chase Longview Lunatic Asylum from
Hamilton county. The Cincinnati
Gazette says:
There seems to be prejudice at Columbus against
I.ongyiew Asylum, and all because 1t is though
Hamilton county ought to be taxed more than Its
share for the support Of the insane.
Now we think that Cincinnati
should support her own insane. The
papers and people of that city insist
that vice and drunkenness in that city
shall not be suppressed, and this is
the prime cause of insanity. Let
them, if they vIl SOW to the wind,
reap the whirlwind.

THERE is very great anxiety among
the newspaper men at Washington
City to get up quarrel between SEN
ator Conkling and President Garfield.
One day last week it was announced
from Washingto City that large
number Of appointments had been
made for the offices in the State Of
New York, and that all Of the men
appointed were the particular friends
Of Senator Conkling, and that he was
happy for once; but next day the news
was sent out that the President had
appointed one Robertson Collector for
New York City; that said Robertson
was not Conkling man; that neither
Senator Conkling nor Senator Platt,
nor even Vice President Arthur him
self, had been consulted about the
matter, and that there would be war
now sure, in the Republican camp.
Some of the news from Washing
ton City may, sometimes, be true, but,
If so, it is the rare exception.

WE see it reported from Washing
ton City that the greatly increased use
Of tobacco has increased the revenue
from the tax on that article at least
ten per cent within the past year.
The report further says that this re-
markable increase is caused mostly
by the great increase in smoking by
the laboring class, and by young men
and boys.
The outlook for the future Of this
country is not cheering. just in pro-
portion to the increase in smoking
will be the increase Of drunkenness,
pauperism, crime and insanity. All
the Asylums for lunatics in Ohio are
crowded to their utmost capacity,
while the jails and infrmaries are
rapidly filling with lunatics, and nine
out Of every ten are made lunatics
either directly, or by transmission
through the habits of ancestors, by
tobacco, the most deadly poison
known.

man had been killed at low doggery
at Nelsonville, Athens county. One
of the parties, Wesley Altman, was
tried at Athens last week, and was
convicted Of murder in the second de-

tence, intimated pretty strongly that
he thought Altman ought to be hung.
The other two murderers, John Cusic
and John Stafford, entered plea Of
guilty of manslaughter, and were sent
to the penitentiary, the former fol
ten years, and the latter for seven
years.
They were all drunk when the
murder was committed.

IT is the general impression all over

promises to be an exceedingly inter.

nominated Charles Jacob, the present
Mayor, and the Commercial leads the
hellions to his support. The Demo

of excellent character. He promised
to try and do his duty, under his oath,

Young attempted to kill Kallock, but
was unsuccessful in the attempt, and
before he was tried the younger Kal-
loch killed him.

The Legislature has passed bill
granting $4,000 to the Ohio Univer-
sity at Athens. A protest against
payment has been filed by nine Sena-

ground that, as the bill authorizes the
payment of money not heretofore au-
thorized by law, it is unconstitutional,
for the reason that it did not receive
the required vote of two-thirds of the
members of both branches of the Gen
eral Assembly.

Ohio Legislature.

Very little work has been done by
the Legislature, for which the people
should be duly thankful. The great
danger is that too much may be done,
and often very foolish and pernicious
work. Very little legislation is needed,
but that little will hardly be done.
On last Friday the Legislature
adjourned until Tuesday afternoon,
but no work will be done before
Wednesday. So much the better.

Seriously, the old buildings should
