COIERAIN,

The Teachers Association met at
Hoge's School house last Saturday. Miss
Jennie Major, teacher in that district,
acted as chairman. The session was
opened by well prepared paper by Mrs.
NJ. Wiley of Kidd, which was full of
many good points, but did not raise any
criticism. Mr.. Orlando Cope instructed
a class in reading. The subject, "The
Siege of Lucknow" was one of the most
interesting performances of the session.
Mr.. J. G. Taggart of Maynard, delivered
an excellent address on the Relation of
Teachers to Patrons" which was hotly
discussed. The subjects from the hat
were discussed briefly Mr. J. G. Taggart,
Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Belmont County Institute, requested
the opinion of the teachers as to employ
ing one or more foreign instructors for
the coming Institute, the vote was unani-
nous in favor of it. These meetings
so far have been shamefully neglected by
our citizens-not one Director in the
whole township being present, and only
one-half of the teachers, it was intimated
at one of the meetings that some of the
teachers were working more for the Dad
dy Dollar than for the benefit of the com
munity. The meeting adjourned to meet
at Colerain City, the first Saturday in
March.
The citizens of our community who at.
tended the Farmers Institute at st
Clairsyille were of the opinion that il
was good for them to be there.
Mr.. Harry Hardesty, oldest son of Isaac
Hardesty, has been lying at the point OF

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1880.

THE action of the Ohio Senate in
ousting Lieutenant Governor Lampson
without a hearing was infamous, out
rageous and villainous. Justice and
and right did not figure in the result.
The will of the people of Ohio was totally
disregarded and only the present in
terests of Democracy subserved- Mr.
Lampson was clearly the choice of the
people but this did not deter the Democ-
racy from the dastardly deed. The Dem
cratic party has just enough sense tC
know that it has not enough sense tC
legislate for the people of Ohio for more
than two years, and while it has the
power it proposes to go it whole hog, re-
gardless of the demands of deeency
They have SO rapacious a desire to gel
at the public money, which they have {
record for squandering at every opportu
nifty, that nothing can stand in the way
Before the present General Assembly ad
journs sine die the bump of asfnine de
velopment on the Democratic Legisla
tors head will be swelled out of all pro
portion to the rest of his cranial furnish
ings.

THE dread calamity which has be-
fallen Secretary Tracy and family causes
a feeling of sorrow throughout the coun-
try. Steathily in the early morning
hours of Monday the flames crept around
the fated persons and well nigh stilled
forever the occupants of that house
Mrs. Tracy leaped from a window and
died from her injuries; Miss Mary Tracy
was taken out disigured and dead from
suffocation. The French maid was fear
fully charred and burned and was unrec-
ognizable. Mrs. Wilmerding, daughter
of the Secretary, together with her
daughter sustained serious injury but
will live. The Secretary was rescued
by the firemen more dead than alive but
revived and is bearing up under the ter
rible affiiction with remarkable fortitude.
Queen Victoria sent message of
coincidence and resolutions of sympathy
are pouring in. The President and his
Cabinet have been sorely afflicted of late
and political animosities are for a time
forgotten in view of the general feeling
of sorrow.

THE Legislature of West Virginia con-
summated the Governorship steal, which
has been in progress for more than a
year, by seating Fleming on Tuesday.
The methods by which this fraud was
accomplished will act as a boomerang
and West Virginia may be counted as
reliably Republican next fall. The Dem
ocratic party cares neither for God nor
man when they want anything and
any course, no difference how iniq-
uitous, which will bring the desired
result, is pursued.

Synopsis of Transactions In the National
Legislature.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-In the senate yester-
day bill was passed appropriating sl,O00OO
to enable the superintendent of census to pre-
pare statistics on farm owners, renters, mort
cages, interests, rents, etc.
A committee was appointed to inquire as TO
the necessity for an addition to the White
House, a new government printing office, etc.
Mr.. Vance then took the floor and addressed
the senate on the negro emigration bill. His
speech took a humorous turn and was fire.
quently applauded by the crowded galleries.
He began by saying that "the sins Of the
fathers shall be visited upon the children" -"
which. he said, was another way of saying
that the mistakes and crimes of one genera
ton remain TO plague another generation. He
sketched the history of slavery from its intro
duction to its abolition, and said that for the
sake of the negro we are to-day threatened,
not only with political affliction, but with a
servile war, whose weapons shall be the mid
night torch and the assassin's dagger, and
whose victims shall be sleeping women and
children. He criticized Mr.. Ingalls, remarks
as pyrotechnics, concealing paucity of ideas.
His solution for the race problem was "hands
off," There was plenty Of room for the negro
in the northern and western states, and If "the
negro is a good thing let us divide him."
Mr.. Hampton also spoke on the same subject
He turned the tables against Mr.. Ingalls, by
quoting passage from an article written by
the Kansas senator, in which he says: "Unless
history Is false teacher, 1t IL Sot possible for
two distinct races not homogeneous, TO exist on
terms of political equality under the same
government One or the other must 20 TO the
wall"
No action was taken and the bill went over

came exhausted. Had he choked off his
own gas at the same time the other gave
out, the audience would have been de-
lighted, but on the contrary he proceed
ed, frequently sandwiching a sodden and
ancient anecdote between his remarks
Had it been possible, doubtless many
would have left the hall. but with re-
markable endurance they staid until the
close. The gentleman evidently came
here expecting to paralyze the audience
with his matchless (?) oratory, but in
this he Scarcely succeeded, for that style

very profitable and interesting Insti-
tute closed with nothing to mar the exer-
cises except the disappointment of not
hearing Gen. Gibson. The audiences
were at all times large, and on both even

due the choir which rendered excellent
music, and thereby enlivened the pro-
gramme. Mrs. Jessie Morton Carroll
presided at the organ with her usual
grace.
These Institutes are source of much
profit to the farmers in exchange of ex-
periences, and affording a better knowl-
edge of the demands of the farming COM

against the meeting, but people came out
despite its threatenings, and every ses-
