©< iiios.T4j ir (c^roplitotiia,
It i sometimes amusing to follow the
shining lights.>f patent lent oeracy in their
efforts to uphold the unchristian spirit of
opprossion and justky tiiat most abject
condition of the human i n .slavery. In
the T fited States Semite, a few weeks
ago. there was an exhibition of tiiis kind
which must have caused a smileonmany
a countenance., .<larrert Davis, the dem
ocratic slavery Senator from Kentucky,
in his endeavors to depreciate the negro,
said :
" Ethnologists had described the skulls,
shins r.nd feet of tlie negro as decidedly
marking him as belonging to an inferior
race. Ihe negro race had been engulph
ed in the deepest ignorance for four thou
sand year- , without making (lie least pro
gre Provideti-e It id •et him off to
himself, an I never intended that heshould
mix with lie white race as its equal'. He
might : e its slave, !>ut never its equal or
superior, as fanaticism now proposes to
make him."
Shortly after Saulshury, the democratic
slav • -y S nator from Delaware, also ad
ded his te tinionv, during which lie said:
'• lion: >/ lt( with them us ti.e
phlt/tu-11< oj tu< c', :>(/ (in,/ us mem
bers of h*,s ownfathi r' t household , he had
no imkiiidness for them, and said their
true iriemi- were not to ha found among
that el u-s te men who arc -uioring for
their e mlity of rights, t heir irue friends
wce i.io-e wild ha! known them, and
ha-1 been taught from their early infancy
to pv..L Ihein with 11sat kindness with
whicii .in inferior race ought to h - treated
hy a superior race."
It appears to us that any one reading
these two paragraphs will naturally come
to the conclusion that their ignoran is
mor- attributable to those who w uld
democratically keep them in slavery than
to natural causes. If Providence had set
the m-gro aside as unfit to mix with
the wiiites except as slaves, as Davis al
lege-. h iscuriou- that Saulsburv should
make a nient <m !>eiiig6o/vi in their midst,
lining i hem as jt'ujjmutts, and having
the.a as members of his father's house
hold!
On She sum - day another democratic
idea was advanced in the House hy Mr.

the > •iistitution abolishing slavery was

(BkV J On Tuesilay mornitur, December
4th, one span of the iron bridge across the
Muskingum river, at Zanesville, ().,
gave way with an eastern hound passen
ger train, precipitating two engines, two
bay gam ear-, one express oar and one
passenger ear info the water beneath. —
The wreek was terrible, but strange as it
may seem, not a single person was killed,
and only one, a lady, has died from inju
ries. Home of the passengers were float
ing down the river among the baggage
and wrecked timbers, when rescued. The
westward passenger train had just cleared
the bridge when the eastward train went
down. The bridge was a handsome struc
ture. and \v:is thought to be jierfectly
sound. Loss to the Central Ohio. 14. R.

Inspection of Whisky.
Several months ago E. E. Locke, Esq.,
was appointed Inspector at the- works
known as Locke's Mills, and having had
much practical experience In the manu
facture of alcohol, discovered that a most
extraordinary system of inspection was in
vogue throughout the State, by which the
manufacturer in a forty gallon barrel of
70 degrees proof gained eirjht ga'lons, on
which, consequently, no excise duty was
paid. To elucidate the matter more clear
ly, we will state that by law 50 degrees of
proof constitute a gallon, from which the
plain inference would be that a gallon of
alcohol or liquor marked 75 degrees would
in law be equal to one and a half gallons;
or if marking 100 degrees make two gal
lons on which tax ought to be paid. In
place of this however the practice strange
ly obtained of multiplying the excess by
the gallons and dividing by 100 instead of
50—thus, taking a barrel of 40 gallons at
70 degrees, ihe excess over proof, 20, was
multiplied by 40, producing SOO, which,
divided hy 100, made the barrel contain 4S
gallons, while if divided hy the true proof
gallon, 50, it would make 50gallons liable
to tax. A "sin" of this kind did notsuit
the manufacturers or the democracy, and
charges of incompetency were at once
trumped up against Mr. Locke, and the
Whisky Department at Washington,
in its usual summary manner, superceded
Mr. Locke and appointed Captain S. Bon
ner in his place. Mr. L., however, who
is certainly as competent as any man in
this county for such a ]>osition, deemed it
out justice to himself to meet the charge
of incompetency, and as will be seen by
the following letter from lieadquarteis
has elicited the fact that he WAS RIGHT,
together with an acknowledgement of his
faith fulness:

ct-i vol.
In reply I have to say, that the state
ment of this inspection now furnished by
you has been found upon examination to
he correct and in accordance with tin* in
structions issued from this office. It dif
fers materially, however, from the state
ment of the same inspection furnished by
the letter of Mr. Stewart, who must
doubtless have been misinformed at the
lime of writing.
I take pleasure in assuring you that
from the verbal and written explanations
of your transactions as Inspector no im
putation upon your capacity or integrity
as an officer resls upon yoa, and your sug
gestions as to tin- method of Inspection

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GROVESTEEN A Co. are
deemed by all good judges to-be the Ultima Thule of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a tnu
s'eal instrument more ported, although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can over be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the host makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it. over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair, it
is but justice to say tnat thejudgmenithua pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." novl4-ly

Great Britain, France, and Germany, where medical
science has reached its highest perfection, it is pre
scribed in domestic practice, and constantly used in
the armies, in hospitals ami other public institutions,
where it is regarded by the attending physicians as
the most speedy and agreeable remedv that can be
employed. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found
where well known cases of diseased lungs, whieh had
baffled the efforts of the most,skillful and experienc

results arc the most convincing proofs of the superi

them the authors point with peculiar satisfaction.—

it is extremely gentle as a medicine in infancy and

This health-restorer accomplishes even more bv
prevention than cure. If taken in season, it heals all
irritations of the throat and lungs, whe.lher arising
from Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus
prevent that long train of painful and incurable dis
eases, which would arise from the neglect of them.
Hence no family should be without it. Influenza,

3rtJE!-A_lL ESTATE
REGISTER.
Ihave 011 register for sale the following
real estate:
4 Farm of'l?0 Acres, 2£ miles west
of Me Vey town, the pike running through
it, 150 acres cleared, well enclosed, water
in every field, and 2oacres in good timlier.
Good Stone House, Bank Barn 50 by 80,
Wagon Shed, Corn Crib, Hog Pens, Wash
House with .never failing stream flowing
through it, Spring House, Smoke House,
large Apple Orchard of choice grafted
fruit, (worth as much on an annual aver
age as the interest of the entire purchase
money,) as well as pear, cherry, peach and
plum trees. Price*4per acre—one-half
cash, and remainder in one, two and three
years, if desired, with iuterest —purchaser
to pay one-half cost of surveying and ma
king deed. This is a desirable property,
and f believe the cheapest farm now for
sale in MiiHin county. The land is all
patented, and title indisputable.
ALSO,
4 Farm or IT 5 Acres, situate in
Wayne township, within { mile of rail
road, i mile from canal, and 11 miles from
Newton Hamilton, 120 acres cleared, re
mainder good pine and flrst class white
oak timber. The improvements consist
ot a two story Log House, double Bank
Barn, Spring House, and other outbuild
ings, an old orchard, and another of young
trees just beginning to bear. There are
four never-failing springs on this farm,
one a strong sulphur, and another liest
limestone. The land lays beautifully, is
within i a ruiieof a* mill, and a quarter
from a public schoolhouse. .Soil good, an
abundance of easily quarried limestone on
the place, and in the hands of an enter
prising farmer would make a lirst class
farm in a short time. The owner desires
to sell because he has as much laud as he
desires to cultivate at his homestead. On
ly SSO per acre. This place, from its
proximity to market, requiring so little
hauling that horses hardly need shoeing
in winter, its healthy neighborhood, and
other advantages, is undoubtedly a great
bargain. If not sold by the loth Februa
ry it will be FOB BENT.
ALSO,
321. Uuek situate near Lewis
town, with 23 acres of Land, machinery
and fixtures all in good order, and noted
for making as good flour as is manufac
tured in the county. Price, $10,500,
part of which (say $3000,) can be arranged
on a mortgage. This mill is now under
rent at a sum which pays all the taxes and
fully 8 per cent, on the price asked. The
time for its sale is limited.
ALSO, ,
4 Tract of" :jo Acres, situate in
Wayne township, about 5 miles from Mc-
Veytown, from 20 to 2d acres cleared and
under cultivation. The soil is principally
, gravel and produces well. It is well
watered, and has a fine patch of young
timber on it. Price SIOOO.
Another Tract of 30 Acres, sep
arated from the above by the road from
t McV eytown to Newton Hamilton, all
! cleared and tolerably well fenced, and in
i a good state of cultivation, it has on it
; a good two story Log House, plastered in
! side and weather boarded and painted out
side, together with Barn, Apple Orchard,
ten years old, well at tile door, two springs
not far from the house, and other advan
tages. Price slsoo.
Possession given Ist. Nov., 1867. These
I tracts will be sold separately or together.
It separate, one-half in hand, and balance
in two equal yearly payments with inte
rest, or in one yearly payment without
interest. If together, half cash, and bal
ance in two equal payments with inte

and are situate in a very pleasant neigh
borhood.

ship, one and a quarter miles from Lew
istown, on the canal, with the old pike
: running through it, containing about 200
' acres, 45 cleared and mostly fenced, with

Old Orchard, and a number of young trees
planted some years ago, consisting of ap
ple, pear and cherry. The remainder of
the tract is covered with pine, chestnut
i and oak, from which a large quantity of
tirevvood could lie cut, and as it can be
easily hauled presents a strong induce
ment to an industrious man with a small
capital. One corner of this tract strikes
Jack's creek between the Edniiston and
old saw mill tract, thus giving access to it
by two roads. Price s3ooo—slooocash,
} balance in such payments as may be
