Bro. Nash, of the Gallipolis Journal,
asks us the following highly imperti-
nent questions:
Now, Bro Mackley, give us some
statistics. What is the average num-
ber Of saloons to each inhabitant?
What is the annual death rate
there? What sized load does an ordi-
nary Jacksonian carry when he goes
out for blood? Have you any murders
that are hushed up? Has your new
Sheriff had any parctice at that bloody
old gibbet?"
As to the saloons, we should say, a.
bout one to each one hundred and
seventy five of the population, or there
about. For the death rate, alcoholic
capacity, &c., we must refer you to the
record as it appears from time to time,
in the Standard.
AS to the gibbet, the new Sheriff
has not tried it get, but the old ma
chine is ready for business. But, dear
Bro. Nash, these are not proper ques-
tions to ask in class-meeting: "We
are thankful that the world cannot
judge US. We know that we do many
things contrary to his will. We are
poor sinful creatures, but we all want
to live right, to die right, and to meet
you all in glory"-but we don't want
to go by way Of the doggery and the
scafold. By the way, the last killing
got out before it could be suppressed,
and so did the killer. And he made a
straight shirt-tail for Gallia County.
But we've got him agan.

GALLIPOLIS!

There's a sound of JOY in the wintry air
As the merry church-bells ring;
And righteous light, with sudden glare,
In the hearts of sinners spring,
And the suppliant voice of earnest pray'r
Is sweetly echoing.
There are glad eyes fixed on the Throne of Grace,
There glad hearts moving on:
BY the radiant light of the Savior's face,
To the sacred presence drawn
Where the eye of Faith and Love may trace
The signs of triumph won.
The swelling anthem, full and free,
Mounts up the wntry skies,
Still at His throne. in piteous plea,
The suppliant sinner cries
Anon the shout of victory
About the altar flies.
The Christ has come-the joy He brings
The Fathers Love extols;
And greets responsive hungertngs
In weary, sin-sfck souls
HE comes with healing in his wings!"
The shout of victory rolls.

ern States. The fact that, in the
Southern States, a much smaller num-
ber of votes is cast and counted in the
choice of Congressman or Presi-
Dental elector than is cast and count
ed for the same purpose in the North
ern States proves beyond the possibil-
lty Of denial that, in the former
States, there is large body of cleo
tors, who do not practically partici-
pate in such elections. The ratio of
representation is the same at the South
that it is at the North, and if so, there
ought not to be this difference in the
number Of votes cast and counted, and
there would not be if the doctrine of
free ballot and fair count" were
equally applied in both sections of the
country. The simple truth is that the
colored vote is to large extent sup
pressed at the South; and this fact the
Falcon is honest enough ito confess.
Congressman Chalmers, in Offering
a bill in the House Of Representatives
to restore republican government to
Mississippi, recently made a short
speech in which he told the same truth
that the Falcon confesses. That is
not republican government in which
a minority of the people, whether
white or black, has usurped the pre-
negatives of the majority, and perpet-
yates the usurpation by an election
machinery that excludes the majority
from the exercise Of it's rightful pre-
negatives The Constitution arms
Congress with the power to supply a
remedy in such case; and that pow
er it ought to exercise whenever and
wherever the case exists.

"They tried everywhere to get man
who could stand it!" said an old sexton,
speaking of the digging up and removing
of dead body, "but they couldn't find
him. One or two tried it, got sick, and
filled the grave up again. AT last a
man made his appearance, who said he
would go through with the job. I didn't
like to open the grave again without fin
ishing the job, so I began to question
him:

In a certain locality in Jackson County.
there are numbers of religious people who
hold to the faith of the denomination
known as 'feet-washers" Some years ago
a certain minister was preaching in the
neighborhood where member lived, and
rather took exceptions to their doctrines.
After the meeting this member tackled
the minister for an argument, and becom-
ing somewhat heated, the member asked,
with some vehemence:
"Well when is the proper time to wash
the feet?"
"When they get dirty was the reply,
given with equal firmness.

An incident said to have happened to
an old and well-known citizen of this
place, shows strange intermingling of
mirth and sadness. The man was sick
confined to his bed. The family had gone
away for a short time during the evening,
leaving bright little daughter to see
after the wants of papa. The gentleman
was suffering severely, and the daughter
began to realize that it was her duty to
attempt to console him in some way.
After observing his suffering, in silence
for time, the little girl said:
Papa, if there is anything can do for
you, just let me know. If you will tell
me aoho you soaaat for palz-bearers, I'll see
that you have the ones you want
This was kind of consolation that did
not tend to allay the sufferings, or quiet
the nerves of the patient in the least.
