Bro. Gould, the able, fighting
Democratic editor of the Jackson
herald, like the majority of the
Democratic editors of the State
who have finger on the public
pulse, and who have the courage
to declare their con victions, says
in his last issue:
"While in Columbus last week,
we heard that Gov. Hoadly in
tended to appoint Col. Rempel,
of Logan, one of the Directors of
the Home of Detenticn,' We
believe that is the new name for
the Penitentiary. Col. Rempel
is a nice gentleman socially, a
rabid Republican, and We hope
the report is utterly false. We
also learned that the Insurance
Commissioner (Reinmund) had
appointed his brother, a life long
Republican, as chief clerk. If
this is SO, there is screw loese.'
Bro. Gould is mistaken in say
ing that "Gov. Hoadly Intends"
Sc" Gov. Hoadly intends moth
ing of the kind. He intends to
run his puppit administration in
the interests of Cincinnati Jews,
and with a view to catch nigger
votes. Gov. Reinmund is the
man who ''intends" Rempel's ap
pointment, and the placing Of
Republicans in Offices that should
be held by Democrats.
There is a whole lot of screws
loose.

L Mothers Confession 10 the
Murder Of Her Daughter.

Dayton. O., March lS.-On Jan.
II, 1867. Christian Kett, a pretty
girl 1Syears old, was murdered in
her home, on Oak street, and no clue
had ever been discovered to the
murderer until yesterday, when her
brother disc 'osed on his death bed
the confession of his own mother
that she had committed the deed
A number of parties had been sus-
pected, but no clue had ever point
ed in this direction. The disclosure
causes profound sensation, as re-
lated by the son, that his mother on
her death bed made confession of
guilt. The murdered girl had gone
away to call on a lady friend, and
returned home late. Tho mother,
In fit of passion, struck her with
an nx-handle, crushing her skull.
Appalled, at her crime, she smear
ed the dead girls face with gun
powder, and afterward deported her
self In such q mlancr as to entirely
elude detection. Mental torture
drove her from the scene of the
crime, and she roamed through
iWsstern cities. and finally died
several years ago. She was 81 yrs.
old at her death, and all of her fam
ly are dead but the son, who makes
this dying confession.

Gen. Grosvenor won the first
round in the Congressional skir'
mish at Athens last week. The
delegation from Athens county
will be for Gros! enor.
To an outsider, this is as il
should be. The district is Re-
publican. Grosvenor is a man OF
State and National reputation
He is a recognized leader of the
Republican party, and holds his
own up even with the best talent
the party possesses in State or
Nation. He is a warrior. He
don't deal in skim milk nor fight
with mud balls.
He is bold, aggressive and par
tizan to provoking degree, but
he represents a fighting type Of
man we always like better than
a sneak who will smile and
smirk in your face and strike you
in the back if he can. Grosven-
or is bold and brave. We like
him on that account, and we are
glad that Athens county. whose
political Importance is mainly
due to Grosvenor,proposes giving
him fair count in the coming
Congressional contest.

The gentlemen who oppose the
appropriation for the canal forget
that if the appropriation is not
made, the canal will still remain
State property and the canal be-
come a mud hole. The lands of
the canal will not become the
property of the owners of contig-
uous ground, unless the Legisla-
ture passes a special act for that
purpose.
The Legislature may not make
an appropriation, and let the
ditch remain as it is, but it will
pass no act of Abandonment
The property is estimated at be-
ing worth half a million, and the
State will lease it or sell it, but
will not give it away.

Of

Is a work much needed for the perusal of
young voters who were not active partici-
pans In the dark lantern campaign OF
1854, just 30 years ago.
Many young voters have but vague con-
ceptions Of the base and disgraceful efforts
to establish religious test fer office which
IL not only contrary to the Constitution OF
the Fathers, but destructive of that free
dom and liberty secured by their efforts,
and dangerous to the peace and safety OF
society.
To this effort of the Know-Nothing party
70 destroy religious liberty, was added the
no less prOScriptive and hateful. demand OF
refusing equal rights and privileges to for
eiSn born taxpayers who see tit to seek
the protection of our nag and the burdens

Judge ErieSncr'a Charge "a
thc Perry County Grand
Jury.

The charge Of Judge Friesner
to the Perry County Grand Jury,
in view Of the excitement at the
time of the O'Boylan and Nc
Divit difficulty and the recent
lynching of Hickey at Co ming,
was eagerly regarded by the gen
eral public.
The reporters of the daily press
in attempting sensational matter
for their papers, misstated the
Judges charge in many particu-
lars.
From the last issue of the New
Lexington Tribune containing
the barge in full we give the
points in the charge upon the
two important topics named.
The reporter; made him say to
the Grand Jury, 'let no guilty
man escape and that he de.
nounced the persons who hung
Hickey as ''rnurderers, etc." and
the other papers have all copied
it.
Neither of these are true. He
did not say the first, not because
it would not have been all right
to have said it, but because the
expression is threadbear, and as
to the second, he did nothing of
The kind.
He spoke of mob violence and
The danger attending and follow
ng precedents Of that kind, of
he effectiveness of the law and
now its enforcement was with
he people who compose juries,
Grand and Petit. /
He then called the Grand Ju-
les attention to the hanging Of
Hickey since the last term of the
Court, and charged them it was
heir duty to investigate the mat
er, but expressly told them that
was not for the Court to say to
J Grand Jury what they shall
ind but only require them to in
'estigate, and they were bound
My by their conciences for the
esuIt. He denounced no one as
murderer.
he cautioned them against ia.
ing sides in the O'Boylan Nc
)ivit affairs that seemed to at
ract the public attention, and to
specially disregard the newspa-
'er accounts that were furnished
argely by interested parties or
hose taking sides in the matter
nd we're sensational, and finally.
, keep their eye single to the
ublic interest, TO simply ascer-
ain if crime had been committed
nd if indictments should be
,und therefor.

4 Fit Man for a Govern
ment Appointment.
A Representative Democrat.

4
If Governor Hoadly desires to
give force and efficiency to his
administration, if he proposes to
recognize the Democratic party
as the controlling organization
of the State, and if he has prop
er appreciation of the obligations
of a party leader, he will appoint
representative Democrats to po
sitions of trust, responsibility and
political influence.
Maj. Carlisle. of Lancaster, has
been recommended to the Gov
ernor as a fit man for the Trustee
ship for the Penitentiary. The
Maj. is endorsed by the best
Democrats of the State, and is a
unanimous choice of the Demo
Gratis of Hooking county and the
Hooking Valley. He is a farmer,
one of the most intelligent, en-
terpris::ng, progressive in the
State. He is a man familiar
with public affairs, and a success
full manager in every enterprise
with which he has been asscci-
ated. AS President of the Fair
field and of the State Agricultur-
al Societies, he distinguished
himself by his splendid execu-
tive ability and making both the
most successful in the history of
his county and of the State. As
Superintendent of the Hooking
Canal for nearly quarter of a
he developed a capacity
for wise management that not
only retained 10 him his position
year after year, but endeared
him to the public with whom his
position related for his fairness
of dealing and his continuous at
fibility and courtesy as gentle
men. Mai. Carlisle represented
Lhe Hooking Valley four years
as Senator, and with all due re-
spect for his distinguished :pre-
1ecessors and successors, he was
me most practically useful to
State and party of any man who
has ever represented US.
Besides the Majors merits as a
practical man of affairs, he is a
DEMOCRAT, and is always on the
'ront line, figh ing for his party
md guarding well each point of
lttack by placing, when in his
power, only tried and competent
Democrats on guard.
He would make a Trustee of
he Penitentiary who would do
.ood service to the State and re-
lect honor on a Democratic Ad-
Governor Hoadly
AN find no better man in the
'tatesfo this place, and if he
eels~any obligation to the Dem
crats of the Hooking Valley and
f Southern Ohio, he can cancel
hat obligation to the satifactlon
f Democrats by giving Maj.
,arlisle the appointment.
