Circuit Court.


Circuit Court adjourned ON Thurs
day afternoon, having been in session
one week. The largest case was the
distribution Of the money arising
from the sale Of Huron Furnace pro-
perty. Several of the ablest lawyers
of Portsmouth and Jackson were en-
gagged in the case. The Court held
that the costs must first be paid
The Portsmouth Foundry and Ma
chine Company had taken a mechan-
les lien on the machinery, and their
claim must be paid. John D. Davis
had loaned the company $4,000, and
the company had set apart 300 tons
of iron for Davis, in payment. The
company afterwards sold some 240
tons of this iron, and again replaced
it. The receiver took possession of
this iron and sold it. Court ordered
that Davis be paid. The mortgages
given to the Jackson and Portsmouth
Banks were held to be good, and these
claims were ordered to be paid. Judge
Cherington. in delivering the opinion
of the Court, said that however much
the Court might desire the payment
Of claims due for labor, there was no
provision in the Statutes at that time,
to authorize the Court to order such
payments.
Felix Devlin VS.. the State of Ohio.
Devlin had been indicted, tried and
convicted in the Common Pleas for
selling whisky to man whose name
| think was Downward, on a ceItain
Sunday named in the Indictment
The State made out clear case
Devlin went on the witness stand and
testified that he had not sold whisky
to Down on the Sunday named
He then went on to say that he had
never sold whisky to Downward, or to
any other person on any Sunday. |
The State then called witnesses to
prove that he had sold to other per-
sons, on other Sundays. The Court
below admitted this testimony, but
instructed the jury that they could
only regard it as to impeach Devlin.
The Circuit Court held that this testi-
mony ought not to have gone to the
jury for any purpose. Judgment re-
versed.

The "R. E. Lee Camp" of Confed-
crate Veterans. which recently at
tended the Reunion of the Army of
the Potomac, at Baltimore, have since
made visit to Washington. They
were clad in gray blouses, black hats
and black pants, and the American
flag was not carried by them as they
marched through the streets. The
old Johnnies are probably aware of
the fact that the floating of the stars
and stripes at Washington is merely
kept up as an ancient custom, and
that the stars and bars constitute the
real colors of the present administra-

Republican State Convention.
ONO REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

OHIO REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
Rooms, COLUMBUS, May 4, 1885.
The Republican State Convention of
1885 will be held in the city of Springfield
on Thursday, June 18th, 1885.
The Delegates of each Congressional
District will convene at 8 O'Clock A. M.
for the purpose of choosing one Vice
President for the Convention, and one
member of each of the various Com
mittees.
The Convention will be called to order
at 10 o'clock A. M. for temporary organi-
zation, and at 2 o'clock p. M. for perma-
nent organization and the transaction of
its other business.
Candidates will be nominated for
GOVERNOR;
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR;
JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT;
TREASURER;
ATTORNEY
MEMBER BOARD PUBLIC WORKS.
The basis of representation in this Con-
vention is one delegate for every five hum
dred votes, and one for every fraction of
over two hundred and fifty votes cast for
Hon. James G. Blaine for President in
1884.
The several counties will be entitled to
representation in said Convention as
follows:
Here follows list of delegates, the
whole number being sos. Jackson coun-
ty gave Blaine 3,427 votes, and is entitled
to delegates)
We recommend that efforts be made to
secure a large attendance at the meetings
to appoint delegates, so that the people
shall be fairly represented in the State
Convention; that gentlemen be not
chosen as delegates unless it be certain
that they will attend; and that. as far as
practicable, the County Central Com
mittees be appointed at the same time that
delegates are chosen, if this has not al
ready been done.

A. G. GAME. Secretary

Capt. Paul Boyton, the expert
swimmer played joke upon the Off
GERS and seamen of the British War
Ship "Garnet," one day last week, at
New York, and cane near getting it
turned upon himself. In order to
demonstrate the lack of precaution
even on the best disciplined vessels,
he prepared mock torpedo, placing
small stones in it instead of powder.
Putting on his swimming suit, he
took to the water, and when near the
ship dived, passing under the ship.
Coming up near the bow, he attached
his torpedo to the bow-chain. dived
again, coming up a distance away and
struck out for his boat. The men on
the ship however got out launch
and caught Boyton, when he explain
ed the joke, and was released. Alto
gether the joke seemed to open the
eyes Of the Garnet's men somewhat.
Had Boyton placed a real torpedo in
the position Of his false one, the Gar
net would probably have been sent to
the bottom No matter how carefully
we try to train ourselves to strict
watchfulness, carelessness will to some
extent creep in and almost unknown
to us, take possession of our lives.
We have known men who were fond
Of boasting they did it proudly
of their habits Of extreme carefulness
when in reality they deserved to be
classed among the most careless or
thoughtless, of people. Even the
strictest caution will ofttimes be
found sadly lacking in the simplest
matters Of detail.
There has appeared in the papers
recently an alleged copy of a letter
written by Kentuckian named jam,
Blackburn to his wife, in 1861, in
which the terrible Gre-eater says" |
want to see Union blood deep enough
for my house to swim in" The
blood-thirsty terror does not say, how
ever, that he would like to be mount
ed upon the horse when he was swim
ming in Union blood. The inteuse
heroism which breathes through this
letter is Of the kind which generally
crushed the Yankees from the fortress
of the Quarter-Master's Department
of the State Militia.

At the Reunion Of the Army of the
Potomac at Baltimore few days ago,
the r. E. Lee Camp of Ex-Rebel Sol
diers appeared in body as visitors.
When the subject of inviting them in
was discussed. there was a stormy
scene among the Boys in Blue, sever
al of them strongly objecting to ad-
mitting the Johnnies, but the Society
finally voted to receive them, and
they marched in, the Union Soldiers
cheering, and the Rebs giving the

The Democrats have furnished
their counting of the money in the
Treasury, and made the startling re-
velation that after Republican ad-
of twenty-five years just |
ts0o cents are missing from the Treas
ury. This shows what kind Of ''Ras-
Gals" are being put out. Do you
think a Democratic administration
for the same length of time could
equal it?

It Is very cheap; two cents worth will pre- serve quart of any kind of fruit. Fruit can be packed in barrels and kegs as well as in jars.

Wichita (kan) Deacon.
 Well, how are you, Beaconi The sun is shining here, and 1t was so warm last Sunday that l had to un- lace my shoes, unbuttOn my vest, and drink cold cisterp water in or der to eadure the heat. The peo. pie began to get ready for garden. ing on the 2nd of February, and the fires are burning in the fields, while the rakes are at work gath ering up the rubish in readiness fo all the works that belong to garden and field.
 The city of Prescott, where we have been sojourning for three weeks, is the county seat of Neva- da county. It is about fifty miles from the Texas line. There are sixteen hundred or two thousand inhabitants. a new court house, | iail, elegant high rchool and sever al good sized churches. Speaking of the churches, l would say that the church in which I have been speaking in every evening for the past three weeks, is . neat well ventilated chapel. We have good audiences of intelligent listeners every night, and up to the present time six additions to the congrega- ton. Our first baptisms were in the creek near by, and were quite a sensation, as those who believed l in immersion in this country, gen. orally practice it in what they call warm weather. However, the can. didates endured the cold water he- rOically, and several others are ready to follow their example. Of course when you people think of this country the Arkansaw Tray eler with hs experience in getting lodging by !"turning tune" comes nto your minds. We'll, our friend with the coonskin cap and leakey roof, his uncombed kids and hun. gry hounds is here, but he is not as numerous as you might imagine. In fact, the Arkansawers that we have seen thus far, with few ex- ce ptions, are intelligent, wide-a- wake cultured people. They are growing rich of the abundance of plne lumber and cotton which they annually ship to the east and north They are looking to Wichita with earnest expectation for your Fort Scott & Wichita railroad. Let this enterprise be pushed forward with Wichita's usual pluck, and the welcome given by Arkansaw will fill your hearts with gladness and your pockets with filthy lucre.
 The colored man is here, and lia' ble to remain for century, at least. He is the cheapest labor that can be employed. The color. ed laborer will not work for tue same price as his Chinese brother, but he will expend his earnings in the community, while the China man will save it all to take back to his own native land. The "darkey'' is a necessity here, and withal, he lis treated as well as he deserves.
 Ihaye been much interested Tn the Daily Beacon, which arrives here in good time. The people marvel at such an evening daily III the border land. Your accounts o' the Nellie Bailey trial and Major Penn's revival have been full and complete. By the way, CaP'ai u White must be among the lnquir' CTS, as his theological criticisms have been less severe on Major Penn than any man who ever at' tempted to preach to the sinners of Wichita.

News comes over the wires that John Roach, of Dolphin notoriety, is completely broken down in health, in consequence of worrying over his financial losses. This information is doubtless sent out for the purpose of creating sympathy for the cunning old fraud. His recent assignment of property to ''preferred" creditors, it is said, is ruse to defraud the gov ernment and prevent the recovery of the money advanced Roach for the Dolphin.

TIE Apaches this side the line

THE Apaches this side the line have apparently separated into small par. ties, doubtless with the object oi sneaking back to the reservation un. observed. All the efforts of the "bor- der cerdon," about which so much has been said, to intercept the rene gades have thus far proved unavailing. The Indians cross and recross the line with the greatest freedom, and there seems to be no one in the way to mo- lest or make them afraid.
