[" ISLANDER Rebuked."

The above was one of the mottoes dis
played by the unterrified on the day of
their jubilee, evidently put facing our Of
fee with view to attract our attention
and make US feel badly on account of our
sins We were terribly "cut up" and didn't
sleep a wink until after 10 o'clock last
night on account of it. Let us go over the
list in detail and see what dead loads of
rascality we have 10 answer for. We said
Geddes was Copperhead after 1868 dur
ing the war: That was true. We said he
made bitter and disloyal speech in the
spring of 1858, in which he said the war
had been prevented from its original de-
sign and WAS now for the liberation of the
nigger- That was true We said that he
gave his influence and vote for Vallandig-
ham, the banished traitor: That was true.
We said that he opposed the issue of Green
backs, the National Banks, resumption of
specie payment, the amendments to the
Constitution abolishing slavery and confer
ing the, right of citizenship on the negro,
that he refused TO vote for the unseating of
the Southern Democratic Congressman
convicted of securing their seats by means
oftissue ballots, that he did not vote against
the River and Harbor Bill, that he had
been on the wrong side of every question
for the last twenty years that has since been
accepted as wise and in the line ofprogress
even by the Democrats: And all these
things were true.
On the other hand, the Democrats said
that Mr.. Horr failed in business and de-
frauded his creditors: That was lie.
They said he was a member of the Cheese
Ring: That was a lie. That he was con-
cerned in the John Clark failure: That
was lie. That he cheated his sister:
That was lie. That he loaned money to
an Incorporate man to get him in his pow
er and force him to sell his property for
less than its value: That was an awful lie.
That he loaned him money to squander in
intemperance, and after his wife had beg
ged of him not to do so: That was an out
rageous lie. They charged him with half
a dozen other things affecting his truthful
ness and honor, all of which were villain
Gus lies.
Things seem TO be a little mixed on this
subject That canvas must have been let
tered by black Republican, and designed
to be faced the other way for the rebuke
of the great unwashed.
We ask pardon for mentioning this lit
tie matter after the close of the campaign
and introducing disagreeable topics on the
occasion of our own funeral, but really we
could not resist the soft persuasion of that
gentle rebuke, and we make humble con-
fession of the sins of our Democratic
friends. We are sorry they slandered our
candidate, we accept their un-spoken but
we hope, heartfelt apology.

Those youths who, to show their happi-
ness over Democratic victory, resorted to
deeds of vandalism such as girdling the
shade-trees and defacing the buildings of
those who differed with them in politics,
ought to be informed that in order to be
Democrat it is not necessary to be either
scoundrel or fool. Such conduct is only
an attenuated style of Ku-kluxism, which
would surprise nobody if it had taken place
in the South, but it is little too late in the
day to begin to practice their methods in
Wellington. We do not mention this as
anything to the discredit of the Democracy
of this town, and should not have men,
toned it at all if We had not accidently
learned the names of those engaged in it.
In their cases forbearance longer ceases to
be a virtue. They are young men whom,
ON account of their families, we have
hitherto spared such notoriety as they de-
served, for their characters have long ago
been disgraced by their immoralities and
petty crimes, and even crimes of graver
character. If they had received the noto-
riety they deserved they might long ago
have been induced to emigrate and make
room for better men, and we now give them
fair warning that if there is any further
provocation we shall endeavor to make
Wellington too warm for comfortable re-
sidence for them.

THE following from the NorwaIk Ref1ec-
tor nearly expresses our views on the ques-
ton of temperance legislation. The recent
election proves conclusively that the peo-
pie of Ohio are not yet sufficiently sdvan-
ccd on this question to carry prohibition !:
We question very much IL an amendment to
the Constitution authorizing the legislature
by stringent laws to in any way interfere with the
liquor traffic, could be carried in Ohio. The "Dem-
ocracy" and the liquor dealers, great and small,
would vote against such amendment, and we
believe the prohibitonists would vote against II,
on the ground that they will have nothing IL they
cannot at once get all they want Nine out of every
ten men you meet will admit that the liquor traic
is an eyil-it cannot be denied. Then why not
eradicate the evil far possible n you cannot
entirely uproot 1t! wise physician win always
give something TO alleviate IL he cannot cure the
disease. He never gives medicine that he knows
will aggravate disease that he is conscious he
cannot wholly cure. And to zone up tree'' this
seems to be good, sound sense.

The Shattered Temple.
By AURA A. PERKINS.

Have you seen this temple rising high .-
Till its towers are lost in the azure sky.
With Its clust'ring pinnacIe's Furnished tips
That are brushed by the wing that angel dips,
Have you seen its arches stretch away
Like the tinted portals OF coming day,
Fairer and farther. wide and grand,
Till the sweetest clmes of the earth are spanned !
This is temple, broad and free,
Glorious temple OF Liberty.
Rich are the walls meath the dome's deep fret.
Precious stones in its alcoves set
Alcove set with sapphire blue
Glmps OF the sea that the light shines thro'.
Other set with the emerald green
Forests with prairie-smiles between.
Other still with the amethyst
Mist Of the lake that the sun has kissed.
Naught too for its arches be,
Beautiful temple OF liberty!
Justice sits at the gate of this;
Peace with her sandals Of righteousness
Walks her courts, while the hounds ofwar
Lie asleep at the inner door.
Here we may work, or sing, or rest;
Temple OF all the worlds the best.
As you leaned o'er the airy balustrade,
Have you that bog where the mists have stayed
Till the sun sent thousand troopers out
With their shafts of fire, to the wreck and rout:
This is the shaking quagmire where
The sons of Bachus set their lair;
Where the bastard sons of Bachus creep
Mid the fostering dews that they nightly steep.
When the sun has gathered his arrows up
Then they stir again, meath their deadly cup
The fires Of hell, and the fumes arise
With our heaven built turrets, toward the skies.
The walls are stained with the mildew dank
And the loathesome fungi, red and rank
Stretch their horrid heads DER their slimy brood
To the reeking air TOR their midnight food.
Have you seen our bloated sons that stand
With wanton leer and shaking hand,
Quafing the cup from the poisonous wen
That boils and bubbles over hell!
Drain that bogl tho the trench be laid
Thro' the richest field Of the everglade,
Tho the Golfers piled with the price OF souls
Sink in the mire as il onward rolls.
Drain that bog! Bring the pick and spade;
Strike for your homes where your hopes are laid
Strike for your sons-tho' the temple shake
With the fearful struggle brave men make.
1t will stand secure when rocks are laid
Meath the corner stone in the everglade.

The total gives 475 enrolled; percent of
daily attendance, 9s5, and II cases of tar
diness. The report shows an increase of
25 pupils over the enrolment of the first
month of last year. The number of for
eign pupils is about the same as one year
ago, save that there is larger number in
the three upper grades, 25 being enrolled
in the High School.
We would urge again upon the parents
at the beginning of the years work, to let
nothing but necessity keep the children
from the schools. Any absence, of what
ever character, hinders the advancement
of the pupils.
Our schools have never opened with
fairer promise of pleasant and growthful
years work. Let every helpful influence
be given the teachers in every department.

IT was very wet day in Wellington, yes
terday, and some who came in from the
country got so soaked and limpsy they
could not stand, and benevolent-minded
citizens among our Democratic friends
constituted themselves a relief committee
in gathering up these frail brethren and
seeing them conveyed out of town beyond
the reach of possibly damaged reputa-
ton. One or two, trying to convey them
selves away, made failure of it. A shade
tree belonging to Mr.. Locke was sacrificed
by an imbiber who tried to make a walking
stick Of the same, but went down, bringing
the young tree with him.

We clip the following from the Troy,

his "Favorite Remedy" And they Illus
trate the power of the medicine in some
new, and perhaps, hitherto untested
phase of operation. But it is when a

true and valued friend, that the interest
In his case deepens and multiplies." 52-4

THE official returns have fixed the Demo
cratic plurality at $4,000; their majority is
about 5000, the Prohibitionists polling
only about $4,000 votes. The Democracy
have won their victory by the aid of the
solid vote of the lovers of and dealers in
strong drink, who went bodily into their
ranks, and 1t means free whiskey and no
Sunday. We are glad what whiskey vote
the Republicans have had has gone to the
Democracy, and we welcome defeat rather
than victory on such an issue and by means
Of such support.

Rep. majority in the District.

Part of this result may be attributed to
the temperance issue, but a still larger
part was due to the most bitter, slanderous
and inexcusable personal fight we have
ever known. The Democracy have no
occasion to be proud of a victory won by
such methods. Every charge affecting
MIR. Horr's integrity or honor was false in
every particular, and none are better
aware of that fact than those who set in mo-
tion and aided in giving them circulation. 1t
was not the bulldozing and shot gun meth
DDS of the South, but scarcely less reputa-
BILE, and we, predict that many will here
after regret the serious injury they have
done the reputation and feelings of an in
nocent man. His character will not suffer.
His friends, and enemies even, who know
him, will respect and honor him for the
purity of his character, as in the past,
which is better than a victory by such pc
culiar and eminently Democratic methods
as compassed his defeat.

THE latest returns make the Congress
sional delegation of Ohio 13 Democrats
and 8 Republicans. The Republicans
have made gain of two Congressman in
West Virginia, so that the relative strength
of the two parties has not thus far been
much changed. The Democracy will
doubtless, however, make gains in New
York and Pennsylvania sufficient to give
them control of the next House of Repre-

Capital Punishment.

For tho CITIZEN.
Will legislators and divines never
be convinced of the Nervousness of
the horrible practice Of taking hui
man life? Many things are lawful
which are not right, and no legisla-
ton can change the immutable prin-
ciple of right. We should dare not
endorse nor adopt anything which
does not emanate from the Great
LawgiVer and Lord of all. No law
should he imposed nor executed
which has not its origin in the
christian code. Now God has said
with an unqualified declaration that
Thou shalt not KILL and we all &C
quiesce in the necessity of this i'm
portant moral command, and all re-
fined humanity revolts at the idea
of killing human being. e., in
an individual capacity. But when
civil government arrogates to itself
this privilege, it seems to assume
different phase with many. But
where has God made this grant to
civil powers? Is not the taking of
life forbidden absolutely and univer-
sally? 1t is true that retaliation
was tolerated under the former dis
and God ever allowed
mans blood to be shed by man, but
such was only permitted as suitable
70 the exigencies Of a semi-barbari-
0us people. But we are under diff
ferent system of government, and
