Myers VS.. HOadly.

Allen o. Myers, the Democratic states
man who dominated the recent Ohio Leg
islature, wsdes into Gov Hoadlv, through
the columns of the Enquirer, iu the fol-
lowing caustic style:
''Gov Hoadly made his weekly speech
to the prisoners last Sunday, and SEEMED
to think he had opened a new campaign
and all of them could vote. Mr.. Hoady,
Since he has been elected Governor, seems
to think he has mortgage on Ohio. He
assumes that he is attorney general, Leg
islature, Supreme Court, ard everything
thing else. The Governor means well,
but he is mistaken, and when he told
the prisoners last Sunday that he would
see that the Legislature did so and so, he
shot his mouth off at random, as he al
ways does. There is certain class of
prisoners in the penitentiary. i mean the
professionals, who are gloating over
Hoadly's Sunday effort because it gives
no man in the pen" chance, but they
seem to know all, and they should re-
member if the new law could apply to the
first termers already in the prison, it
could apply to all men who are serving
more than one term, and the very fact
that they have been sentenced more than
once would make them liable to serve
out all the good time they have made
under the previous sentences. | asked
the old-timers how they would like this,
which Gov. Hoadly in his foolish zeal
overlooked.
In this connection it might be well to
say the board of managers has just as
much power to intepret the law as Gov
Hoadly. Extraordinary power has been
conferred upon Hoadly in removing the,
board, hoping that he would use it in the
interest of justice and right, but if he at
tempts to abuse his position and menace
people, and especially to control his ap-
pointments for his own selfish purposes,
as he is doing, the wind viii blow from
the north, and one George Hoadly will go
out of Governors the Office as one of the
smallest men that ever held the place"

THE charge made against Mr.. Biain

THE charge made against Mr.. Blaine,
eight years ago, as based on the Mulligan
letters, is that by a ruling of his, while
Speaker of the House in 1869, land
grant to the Little Rock & Fort Smith
railroad was renewed, and that this ruling
was made because some of Mr. Blaine's
friends were interested in the road, and
that he subsequently reaped financial
benefit by ownership and dealings in the
securities of the road, having laid the
foundation for this profit by his decision
while Speaker of the House. The expla
nations are long and tedious, but Mr..
Blaine's friends assert that they remove
all taint of corruption.

THE Cleveland Leader, of Friday, has
the following in reference to the pension
bill of Gen. Warner, which recently pass
ed the House:
The ex-soldiers of the country are dis
satisfied with the Warner pension bill,
which was recently passed by the house,
and they are everywhere moving to
compel congress to rescind its hasty ac-
ton, or at least modify the bill considera-
bly,. The measure. it is claimed, affords
no remedy for the delay in the adjudica
tion of pension claims. for which it pro-
fesses to provide, and really tends to COM
plicate existing laws. The demand that
an applicant for a pension shall relinquish
his claim to arrears is severely criticised.
The general pension committee of the
Grand Army of the Republic has de
nounced the measure as sham, and su-
coordinate posts throughout the country
ha, in many cases petitioner their sena-
tors aud representatives in congress to
insist upon radical amendment of the
bill ere it passes the senate, and then see
that the house concurs in the changes
proposed"

Manufactures at st. CIairsyilIe.

L U He EuICOT 81 Gtf CnTOItIcte'
wish to call the attention of the citizens
of st. Clairsville and the surrounding country,
to the propriety of Introducing manufactures
into this place. Let me call their attention
to the manufacture of glass-either window
glass or bottles for liquids, especially for the
use of lager beer. 1t would not take very
large capital to start a bottle and tumbler
factory. The material here would not cost
more than at Wheeling, except the article of
coal, and it would not cost as much, if the
parties at both places were obliged to pur-
chase II from the cars. e.. Il --.
The great advantage of bottle and drink
ing glass establishment is this: it gives EN-
ployment to every child large enough TO carry
bottle or tumbler. 1t not only gives en-
ployment to children, but keeps them from
contracting bad habits, and learns them to be
industrious, and may ultimately lead to
wealth. 80.
This is the center of what is destined to be
the great manufacturing district of this great
county, and ere long, think, the New Eng
land manufacturers will find it to their ad
vantage to purchase their wool here-manu-
facture it here, and not come here for the raw
material, take it to New England, and manu-
facture it there-and take from here the pork
and beef TO feed their hands there, and then
bring 1t back here IN manufactured state to
dispose of.
We have the coal, the wool, the pork the
beef, and the other materials to sustain life,
which that poor country stands in great need
We have a most healthy climate in our favor.
Now there is TO be boom here without
doubt-go to work and establish glass
work.. 1t will add at least 200 to our in
habitants, beside giving employment to the
idle already here.
Begin these enterprises moderately, and
make market for every one who can raise
anything to sell, and not make the producer
dependent on Wheeling for their market
If the resident inhabitants do not enter into
this project, let them make it the interest of
those who live abroad, to come and establish
themselves in manufacturing enterprises here.

Exciting Scenes in the House During
the Vote on the Morrison Bill.

the Vote on the Morrison Bill.
Before taking his place, Morrison
called to the Clerk of the House, who
was standing by tile Speakers desk, and
exclaimed: Clerk. see that nn id
scounurel who is paired goes between
the tellers."
Tne clerk promised to see that fair
play should be had Morrison took his
staIi"n, giving Converse very cool
shake OF the hand aS tie stood opposite
that gentleman. Then the voting began,
and the tellerS announced the atiiT ma
tive vote 10 be I56, and the negative
vote l5l.
Then cheer followed cheer from the
Republican side. and the cheers were
taken up US the galleries and reverber-
ated from every nook and Granny of the
hall. Ladies stood up aud waved their
handkerchiefs and the men their hats.
MIR. Morrison, yielding gracefully to the
inevitable. walked smiling to his seat,
and the tariff bill was dead. On Con-
verses motion the committee rose and
the chairman reported its action to the
House. The speaker stated the question
to be on striking out the enacting clause
and Morrison and Turner, of Kentucky,
calling for the yeas and nays, it was
agreed to: ayes l59. nays 155.
As The Clerk began to read, Mr..
Converse left his seat in the last row of
seats and walking down to the bar of
the House stood nervously lingering a
piece of paper which he held in hand.
When the reading of the first paragraph
had been completed there was an en-
barrassing pause. Mr.. Converse was
engaged in earnest conversation with
Mr.. Hunt, and did not appear to know
that all eyes we're fixed upon him.
Mr.. kassGn, fearful that the time
when the motion To strike out the en-
acting clause would be in order would
expire before Mr.. Converse's attention
could be attracted to the fact, rose and
inquired of the chair whether the prop
or time had come to make that motion.
Before the Chair could respond Mr.Con-
velSe, pushing to the front, moved to
strike out the enacting clause This
was the signal for volley of Kisses and
groans from the Democratic side, this
demonstration being met by rounds of
applause from the Republican side.
The scene in the chamber was one of
intense excitement and confusion, to
which the galleries rendered no little
aid by loud tokens of approval and dis
approval. Tellers being ordered Con.
verse and Morrison were appointed by
the Chair

MEssRs. j. C. AVER & Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter was troubled with a most uncOm-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
my limbs which itched intolerably at night,
and burned so intensely, that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. l was also a sufferer
from severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my
appetite was poor, and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, by observation of many other cases, and
from personal use in former years, began taking
II for the above-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After q
short time the fever and itching were alayed, and
all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My
catarrh and cough were also cured by the same
means and my general health greatly improved,
until it is now excellent. / feel hundred per
cent stronger, and attribute these results to the
use of the SARsAPARILLA, which l recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised. took it in small doses three
times day, and used, in all, less than two bottles.
place these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, 2. P. WILDs."

stantly coming to our notice. which prove the per-
