his uncomplimentary refeionces to
General Grant for having supported
the bill. Cutchcon did not know how
to answer their questions and finally
retorted : "Well I left those parts of
.tho speech out because I wauled to.''
In his speech in tho House he denounced
Grant tor changing his mind, and said
lie Had turned in to support Porter in

Dorsoy has not been occupied wholly

have been two politicians who have

that Porcey lias changed his views in
that'respect.
' Ono evening in tho past week Dor

invitation and ' another evening Logan
was closeted with Dorsoy for four or
five hours. There aro leasons for be
lieving that Logan seeks Dorsey's aid
in securing tho nomination at Chicago
next June. Dorsey, it is believed, can
secure tho delegation from Arkansas
nnd from New Mexico. It is also be

President's eye sought tho Jacquemi
not in tho corsago and at oneo the lady
took it from its beautiful resting place,

To the Northwest and the Par West,
Tho highway travel lias received
more Haltering notices from tho public
than the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railway, the pioneer short lino
and tho popular route to tho Northwest
ami tho far West. Whether one's
Mecca be Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapo
lis or Dakota, on tho different branches
of this much traveled thoroughlare, or
even if one's destination be to points
still more remote, it presents, without
a doubt, tho greatest advantages to
the traveler in his westward course.
Apart from its excellent road-bed, its
fine coaches, nnd the grand ecencry
through which it passes, its dining cars
and service nro probably tho most
sumptuous of any railroad in tho world.
Indeed, tho western lines, and notably
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
fairly lead their eastern rivals in the
matter of comfoits administered to
their passengers, So that with statis
tics to show one's life is safer in the
average railway train than when sitting
in one's homo or when engaged in one'n
legitimate business, tho traveler who
places himself under the guardianship
of a well regulated railway may prose
cute his -journey with a feeling of
security and comfoit as great as when
lecliiung in his arm-chair amid his own
lares et jenates.

The Danville Investigation.
It is evident that tho investigation
of the Danville riots by the congres
sional commjttee will be a fruitless
labor. The witnesses on each sido will
contradict eacli other, the two parties
will make different and conflicting re
ports and the country will be none the
wiser, though the treasury will be poor
er to tho extent of the expenses of the
enterprise.
there is one incident ot tho trial,
however, that is worthy of notice. It
is tho attitude of Senator John Sher
man. When in 1870 he descended to
tho common level of a suborner of per
jury, tho presidency was the stake, and
the public, ltitciest in theissuc obscured
the enormity of the crime. IJut iu
this case he has.no object beyond a
qu-stionable partisan advantage, and
yet he appears not as a judge to deter
mine between conflicting witnesses,
but a a partisan urging and defending
the precarious issue of his side of the
case.
In this case tho witnesses on one'
side are unlettered and iu most cases
dissolute and woithless negroes. On
the other tide tho business men, the
intelligent ani responsible white citi
zens of tho community give their re
membrances of tho incident. It is
doubtful if those negroes understand
tho solemnity of an oath, or realize tho
danger of perjury. A fair, impartial
and just judge would weigh these facts
in tho balance. Instead of that John
Sherman will employ all the subtlety
of his reasoning to submergo them be
neath tho covering of partisau rancor
ho will invent. Tho negroes who tes
tify to willul lies iu this case arc to bo
pitied. The senator who leads them
in tho path of perjury is to bo despised.
These arc the relative positions of tho
ignorant uegroes and senator John
Sherman. Patriot.

Sometime agr there appeared in tho
Columbian an editorial on tho system
of electioneering as carried on in this
county. Thero was then, and is now,
on tho part of candidates and on tho
part of tho pcoplo a desire 'that it bo
broken up. It must bo very humiliat
ing for honest and respectable citizens
to travel over tho.eounty day nnd night,
associating with all kinds ot men, gen
orally tho lowest, begging for votes.
It is not only disreputable, but con
temptiblo and especially contemptible
whero candidates endeavor to buy tho
suffrago of thoso who aro ignorant of
its value, with money or whiskey. The
low politician solicits support in this
way and tho reputable citizen, who
alono is worthy of ollice, must do the
same thing, ho thinks. Tho farmer,
tho mechanic, tho professional man ;B
almost pestered to death and his time is
stolen from him by candidates. Tliero
is, however, n fear among country can
didates that if the system wero abolish
ed the benefits would all bo on tho sido
of tho town candidates. This does not
necessarily follow. If tho good citi
zens of this county would tako the
matter in hand, as they ought to do,
this Hung of disagreeable and disgrace
ful personal electioneering wouiil soon
ceaso to degrade our county politics
Hero is a way. Let every rcspectaolo
citizen make it his rule that whenever
and wherovor, in town or country, any
ono solicits his. vote, it shall be a stilli-
cient reason for not voting for tho man
thus soliciting him. Wu all look for
ward to next tall ns a tune of gieat
political excitement. Thero will bo
elected oflioers to various and respon
sponsible positions. Many of the can
didates are already in tho field. Ail
manner of tricks known to the low
politician will likely bo resorted to,
How much more pleasant would it
be for all if these men went about their
usual occupation (if that bo other than
tint ot n politician), save what monqy
thoy may have made, announce) their
candidacy iu the county papeis mid
let tho people nlone. The man who is
defeated would feel less sore. Tho
man who is elected would assume tho
ollieo to do his duty honestly and not,
ns Is often the case, to avenge himself
on some and to aid and avenge his
friends on others. Ho would havo tho
comciousnet-s that his election was tho
homst will of tho people and ho could
then afford to bo only their faithful
servant.
There will bo no olliccr elected in the
county, this year, so important as tho
county PiiperinteiulcnU Here no ono
who ,will stoop ton personal canvass
should 'bo even thought fit for a ro
sponsible trust. Tho personal morality
and ripest Bcholai ship nnd the deepest
interest in popular education should bo
tho qualifications sought nfter. Tho
bar-room politician may object to the
change j but the people will bo happy
happy in getting rid of him, happy
in having public servants their own.

STHANOK APPEARANCE AND DIS
APPEARANCE. William Pnull and family, who wero
driven out of their homos in Powhatan,
Ohio, by tho flood havo arrived in
Wheeling, W. Vn. 'Ihey conliim thu
story of tho sudden mud geysers at
that nlaco on Sunday afternoon. Thov
say they broke through tho earth with
a loud report, and when tho lrightened
refuges went to tho spot from which
tho noise camothey found a dense mas
of sand, gravel, mud and other sub
stances issuing from a hoiu in the
ground about two feet in diameter
The mass was thrown up in the air to
a distance of fifty, and at times to n
height of one hundred feet. Tlio noiso
undo was like tho ritmbllngof a railroad
train crossing a bridge. It terrified the
nhabitauls and many ot them lelt tho
vicinity in a condition of great agi
tation. To add to tho general terror
another one burst through thu ground
and beiran to discharge tho samo ma
terial to a greater height than tho first,
and soon another appeared. 1 he rapid
appearanco of these strango pheno
mena inspired tho whole community
with terror greater than that which
the flood had excited, and many were
detained only by main force. It soon
became npparent that no others would
appear and a second examination was
made. A Mr. Ramsay was of opinion
that the discharge wns caused by
natural gas and iu furtherance of his
idea took fire to the placo with which
to test its illuminating capacity. Much
to his surprise, thero was no illumina
tion when lire was applied. Ho then
thrust his hand into the column and it
was almost instantly benumbed. Mr.
Paull says that two of these geysers
havo already disappeared, and when ho
left on Monday night tho other was re
ported as weakening rapidly.

EniTons or Coixmiiian :
What has
become of the promised column of
school news t One of the papers of tho
county thought that it would havo a
monopoly ot theso publications and
upon the strength of that sent to every
teacher iu the county a copy coutain
tabling Miss Armstrong's first and only
article, telling the teachers how indis
pensable would be this particular paper
with its column ot school news, ho
far' all the papers have had a monopoly
of these publications, and somo one I
imagine has been disappointed. Miss
Armstrong, no doubt, deserves some
praise for at least ono effort at making
this column a success. She should
have been supported by thoso teachers
who placed her in this predicament,
first of all by the county superinten
dent.
It seemed to me, from the beginning
a bad piece of business and it placed
the editor-elect iu a very unenviable
position. The project I consider a
good one, but the manner of bringing
it about indicates the work of a bur
glar. It any person has auy good thoughts
on this matter of teaching, let him
write them out plainly and 1 feel that
every paper in the county has sufficient
interest in our schools to publish them.
The press mid the schools aim, or at
least should, at the samo ends. Both
are educators. Tho press educates iu
a general way without any particular
regard for tastes, age, sex, religion,
development of mind Ac. j while the
schools aro hampered by all of these.
To sustain a column of school news
m our county papers should bo the
easiest thing in the world : but tho facts
prove that such is not the case. Why
this is so, could not have been very
apparent to those who proposed thu
project.
Among the several hundred teach
ers of tho county how many do you
suppose tliero aro who take an intelli
gent and disinterested interest iu the
cause of popular education ?
It it took as many sucli teachers iu
this county to save our schools, as it
did righteous persons to savo Sodom and
Gomorrah, I should tremble lest tho
public school system in Columbiacoun
ty would fare like tlio two wicked
cities.
I believe that our institutes havo
done much for popular education : but
these aro good only in so far as they show
us how to ovcrcomo those difficulties
with which each of us has to contend.
It is usual to import talent for these. I
think this good also. It will do us all
good to know how they teach down
in Jersey or up in York" state. Homo
talent we havo with us all tho. time and
although it may not iu tho least bo
inferior to the foreign article, yet the
latter as a change is very grateiul,
This will also enable us to appreciate
better tho good or bad in tho homo
production.
Our institutes are of but a fow davs
duration, whilo to set forth the merits
of any system of education and teach
tl iq samo would icquiro perhaps mouths.
Teachers aro too timid to ask for fuller
explanations of thoso things which thoy
fail to understand.. Thoy aro too timid
to stato their dillicultics In an insti
tute, and havo them made plain.
Here, thee, area fow things iu which
nomo taienv wan the aid ot the press
can do belter woru than an institute.
Teachers can wiito out their dillietil
ties and some ono who has surmounted
them will explain them. Thoy can
ask for information and any ono who
can inform them will bo pleased to do
so.
We havo in our midst a Normal
School nritli, I believe, a learned and
capablo Faculty.
'lho Orangevlllo Academy has sent
out quite a iargo num1 er of teachers
too. These institutions claim to use
and teach tho best and most practical
methods of Instruction. Thoso who havo
attende'd these schools havo no doubt
been much benefitted ( but we have npt
nil been so fortunato as to attend them.
Could not Dr. Waller, Prof. Noetling
and tho Prin. of the Orangovillo AcaJ
cmy bo induced to tako pen in hand
and help us t They would, I think, do
a great work for their alumni and pat
rons in educating tho public, to a pro
per application of tho methods wo
tench. For these men must know that
thoso methods which they teach aro
very much opposed in hoiiii districts of
this county. Thoy must know how
, discouraging it to one who haj given
time nnd monoy to learning tho now
education nnd runs a risk of losing his
placo by using it. Why, I havo nskod
many teachers, do you not uso the
methods learned in tlio Normal School!
Theio was this ono answer, "Wo dare
not. If thopublio is once enlightened
there will bo better schools and bi tter
teachers, teachers will taken gi eater
interest in their calling and tho public
will sco them better paid. The men I
have named can bring about this en
lightenment, I believe.
1 would then plead with them that
for tho interest they profess in popular
education, for tho good of tho public
in general and school directors in par
ticular, for the good of young America
and young America's school manors,
they tako tho matter in hand. It will
cost them littlo effort and will result In
great good to us. Let teachers come
to them for ndvicu nnd through tho
medium of your paper, Messrs. Editors,
will we havo an institute extending
through tho entire year and lar sur
passing tho ordinary instituto m sup
plying tho wants and needs of us teach
ers, in naming tlieso threo persons I
do not intend to exclude others.
Yours Very Truly, Nimtoii.

A scurrilous and
malignant article appeared in the col
umns of tho CoLUMiiiAN last week that
is calculated to do an injury to Moses
Markle who has recently received
license to sell beer. The article evi
dently is written in a bitter spirit to
injure the reputation of another. It is
replete with false statements that re
quire correction. Mr. Maikle never
allowed boys to drink cider at any time.
Nor a drunken man to havo auy. He
always kept a quiet, orderly house, and
those who wero disorderly received
cordial invitations to leave. No boys
were allowed to remain who were not
peaceable. Last Saturday he had a
grand opening and thero was no row
dyism manifested by any one, and no
parties were intoxicated.
The fight, spoken of by tho corres
pondent, came off in an alloy a few
doors abovo the saloon. Now, in the
name of conscience why should the
writer utter this malicious lie T There
are plenty of witnesses to prove all of
the above. Rowdyism is not tolerated
in Markle's saloon.
The whole thing is a concocted fab
rication to injure ono. who is a cripple
and who is struggling to make a liv
living. As long as Markle keeps a saloon as
he has done, euch malicious equibs will
do him no harm.
We insert tho above at the request
of Mr. Markle, as we have no desiie to
do any one an injury. We aro sure
that our correspondent of last week did
not intend what ho wrote to be either
"I'cmrilotH," ''malignant,'' maiieiou-',"
nor false, and if his statement was in
coirect he must have been misinform
