question of responsibility for the costly
adjournment of the Legislature. The
House pot first adopted the adjournment
resolution, after refusing to say that there
should be no pay for the recess, and the
Senate kettle concurred in the proposition
to do no work for twelve days and take
full pay. The pot and kettle organs will
fight it out by hurting their smoot at

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL. 1883.
There is good deal of gossip going
round just now about gambling in Wash
iugton, especially among army officers,
some of whom have lately been in finan-
cial embarrassments attributed to that
cause. Undoubtedly some foundation
exists for this talk, as a certain form o!
gambling is carried on to considerable
extent among the idln officers and their
iutimates here. though few of the former
can very wei! afford the luxury. Poker
is the game INDUCED in, and it is gener-
ally regarded mild form of speculative
amusement; but there are people who
know it to be pretty lively and expens-

The Reading Room.

The Executive Committee of the Read
ing Room met on the first Monday night
in February for the transaction of such
business as might come before the COM
mittee. Several books were passed into
the room, and several bills allowed. On
motion, thanks were returned Mr.
Andres for his excellent services as Ii
brarian, and Mrs. Josie Branson for table
donated. A resolution to allow the books
taken out under proper restrictions was
offered and failed to receive the requisite
number of votes to make it rule.
There seems to be some diversity of
opinion on the part of the public with
reference to the taking out and return of
books The opinion is advanced that un-
less the people are allowed to take out
books, there will be but few more dona-
tions, and but few more members. On
the other hand it is argued that if it is to
be a circulating library, it is foolish to
pay out 800 year for room, when one
may be had gratis. Moreover, it is said,
that in the event of a circulating library,
the Reading Room is destroyed.

J. L. BoARDMAN, editor of the Hills
boro NeVs, has sent us plan he pro-
poses to the Legislature, to settle the
liquor question. We have not room
to publish the proposed amendment,
or the editors comments thereon. 1t
is in reality local option.
We are opposed to local option.
We regard the sale of intoxicating
liquors as crime, and to vote to le-
galize crime is wrong in principle,
and ruinous in practice. We never
believed in the old Democratic doc
trine which was so strenuously advo-
Gated just before the war-that slavery
might be voted into or out Of the ter
ritories. A majority has no right to
sanction and legalize crime by a vote.

CHARLEY GRosvENoR has got some
correspondent of the Columbus Jour-
nal to nominate him as Republican
candidate for Governor or Ohio. God
forbid! If the Republicans should be
cranky enough to nominate him for
Governor, they ought to be and would
be defeated and. buried so deep that
the hand of resurrection would never
reach them.
We find the above in the Washing
ton, Fayette county, Herald. The
editor, Hon. VIM. Milliken, served in
the Legislature along side of the cele-
brated Athenian General, and seems
to have a prejudice against that re-
nowned statesman. Why, don't you
know that Grosvenor could get the
Dutch vote? True, he would lose
one hundred thousand temperance
Republicans; but you must remember
that he once pulled through in Athens
county for the Legislature by SO ma
jority, when there were from 1,20O to
1,50O Republican majority in the
county.
We favor the nomination of Gros-
venor. He, if any man can do so,
can lead the "Grand old Party" on to

Death of Levi DUNCAN.

Last week Mr.. DUNCAN was at Court at
Waverly, and was one of the attorneys in
| the trial of Shropshire, charged with muir
der in the first degree. He was assisting
the prosecution. He came home on the
afternoon train on Saturday. After sup
per he went to see one of his grandchil-
dren who was sick. He lives at the place
where the old Diamond Furnace store
once stood. Capt. Hurd, Mr.. Dungan's
son-in-law, lives on the high bluff, little
west of where the furnace stood. Be-
tween the two residences, a little north
of the road, is cliff, where the furnace
stood. Mr.. DUNCAN staid' at Hurds until
about bed time, when he started home.
His daughter, Mrs. Hurd, went with him
with a light as far as the gate. 1t was
very dark, and sleeting, and the ground
icy. Of course Mrs. Hurd supposed that
her father had gone home, and the family
supposed that he had staid at Hurd's. On
Sunday morning, when it was found that
he was not at either place, search was
made, and his body was found on the
rocks, where he had fallen some forty
feet, and must have been instantly killed.
Levi DUNCAN was about 65 years of age,
and had resided here for about forty-two
years. He had been practicing law for
about forty years, and, except Elihu John
son, was the Oldest practitioner in the
county. He had several partners, at diff
ferent times, among whom we now recol-
lect Judge Longbon, Porter Du Hallway,
John T. Moore, James A. Aleshire, SC.
Mr.. DUNCAN held many offices, although
he was not an Office seeker. He had been
Member of the Board of Education, School
Examiner, Village Councilman, Mayor Of
the Village, Prosecuting Attorney and
Member of the Legislature. We do not
remember how many terms he served as
Prosecuting Attorney. We succeeded
him in January, 1855. He had been in
Office at that time four years. In October,
1867, he was elected Representative in the
Ohio Legislature, and served one term.
He was a candidate for the same office
against ]. B. Paine in 1879. Some years
ago he was candidate for Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas against Judge
Plyley. He was popular, and always ran
ahead of his ticket.
Perhaps there is no man now living in
Jackson who was more intimately &C
quainted with the deceased than the wri-
ter of this article. Our acquaintance ex-
tended over 9 period of forty years, and
we met each other for twenty-five years
as attorneys, before justices of the peace,
and in the Courts, and our relations with
each other as attorneys,and as neighbors,
were always pleasant. In politics we
were radically different, but we always
admired his consistency as politician.
The deceased was married to daugh-
ter of the late Judge Westfall, soon after
he came to Jackson. His wife died some
years ago, and he aftnerwards married
Miss Martha Gilbert, who is yet living.
Four of his children by his first wife are
still living, and seven by his last wife
are Irving, some of them quite young.

Light.

Our readers know that we have
taken some interest in the question of
getting the electric light in Jackson.
We have no personal interest in the
matter, as we now seldom go out at
night; but we had reason to believe
that the people Of Jackson were in
favor Of getting the light. There
were three or four public meetings,
called publicly, and fairly we'll attend
ed. When appointed on committees
by these meetings, we did not feel at
liberty to refuse to act. Neither at
these meetings, nor through the press,
nor privately, did we hear one word Of
opposition. As one Of the committee
to ask the village Council to take ac-
tion, we appeared before the Council,
with Messrs. Chapman and Mitchell,
the other members of the committee.
Council had no intimation that there
was any opposition.
After Mr.. Curtis had appeared be-
fore Council on last Wednesday
night, and most of those present had
gone, Mayor James said that there
was remonstrance out, numerously
signed, against the passage of the pro-
posed special act, and that Maj. Mat
thews had the remonstrance Next
morning we called at the hardware
store of Mr. Matthews and saw the re-
monstrance. We asked him if he
would let US have it for publication,
together with the names of the sign
ers, He said he had no objection.
We told him we would get it on Nom
day, and perhaps he would then have
more names. On Monday afternoon
we sent for it, but Mr.. Matthews re-
fused to send it. He said he had no
objection to its publication, but per-
haps some of the signers might object.
Now we would like to know why
any one should be ashamed to let the
public know that he had signed such
a remonstrance, unless there be fraud
or falsehood in the remonstrance it
self. We notify Messrs. Jones and
Pollard to notice the apparent sneak
ing and underhand character of this
opposition.
The taxpayers, and all the people
should remember that the proposed
act only authorizes, or permits, the
Council to have the levy made, and
the lights put up. They are not di-
rected, or required to do so. Of
course no Council will act if there be
any respectable portion Of the people
who are not ashamed Of their action,
who are opposed.
AS the question of politics, is not,
and has not recently been, an issue in
village elections, suppose the people
make the question of light the issue
at the April election. There will be
two or three Councilmen to elect.
Put up good men to represent each
side Of this question, and let the re-
suit determine the matter.

Sixth and Seventh lying between the
two bodies of water, and Second street
next to the main river. It complete
ly divides Portsmouth into two
islands. They ferry across the flood
ed streets in John boats. The water
is reported to be four inches deep in
the office of the Biggs House. All
the business houses on Front street,
and great many on Market street,
the first floors are flooded with water.
1t is impossible for me to describe the
commotion of the people, and the va
rious ways they have adopted to move,
some by teams backed up in the water,
and taking the goods and families out
at the second story window, some with
John boats, and in fact every way that
could be thought of was done in order
to save their property and lives.
One interesting scene was that of a
group of little children, ranging from
eight to twelve years, all leaving their
homes, each carrying some article Of
household goods, headed by a little
boy about eight years old, carrying
something in his arms nicely folded,
although dripping with water I ask
ed the little fellow what he had there,
to which he promptly replied, ''It is
