onnt V . WM. H. HASH, Proprietor. Xi Rjis : $1 50 in advance, r $2 t the end of the year. GALLIPOLIS, DEC 23, 1875. Tat President,, some members of hi Cabinet, and a large number of Congressmen, went on a visit to Philadelphia, Friday, to inspect the arrangements for the Centennial Ex position. They were feasted by the citizens of Philadelphia on Satur day. The managers of the Exposi tion want an appropriation of f 1,500, 000 from Congress, in aid of the un dertaking, and this excursion was gotten up that members might learn for themselves the importance and necessity of this Congressional aid. As this is to be a National Exposi tion, and as the Nation has as yet never given anything in its behalf, there is no sufficient reason why this small appropriation should not be made. Foreign governments are ma king extensive preparations, and liberal gifts, for proper representa tion in this grand affair, and it would be a disgrace to. the American people for its government to withhold a helping hand. We hope the appro priation will be made, and the Cen tennial year made memorable by an exhibition that will astonish the world. Germany. The number killed and wounded by the Bremerhafen explosion is now es timated atone hundred and forty. Of this number about one-half were killed. William King Thompson is the name of the man who owned the case of dymanite which exploded. The Weser Zeitung gives the follow ing history of him: . He was born in New York, married a New Orleans lady, and has four chil dren, the voungest a baby. He lived in Virginia during the war, and engaged in the business of blockade running, whereby he grew rich. Since 1866 he has resided here and at Leipsic, and last at Strehlen, near Dresden. He appears to have lost his money and become em barrassed. He was twice in Ameriea during the past summer. The last time he went without the knowledge of his family, and when he returned he wrote his banker here that he had made ar rangements enabling hira to pay his debts in December. He was highly es teemed by - people in Germany. His house has been searched, but nothing found connected with the disaster. He was arrested and confessed to the intention of destroying the steam er Mosel for the sake of the insurance he held, the machine being so ar ranged by a clock-work attachment as to explode when the ship had reached mid-ocan. The accidental discharge on the wharf though dis astrous as it was, frustrated the real intent of the maker qf the infernal machine. It is stated that the clock work was made by a mechanic named ' Fuchs, residing at Bernburg. Thompson attempted suicide, and some days after his arrest died from the injuries inflicted by himself. n . . Thk Democratic Representatives in Congress, adopted resolutions last Mon day, for the appointment of a Demo cratic Executive Committee; and a com mittee of eleven to suggest, at a future meeting, such a line of policy or action on public measures as would best serve the Interests of the country. Ports mouth Timet. This is "centralization of power" in earnest Eleven men to do the thinking for one hundred and sev enty-four democratic members of Congress; "eleven to suggest" and one hundred and sixty three to act the part of puppets! Well, this ac tion may be all right; it may be that the 163 are so deficient in under standing what "would best serve the interests of the country," that they needed to have guardians appointed over them. It is either this, or else that other thing, which democrats profess to war against, "centraliza tion of power." Will the Timet make clear the conundrum? There was a threatened bread riot at Montreal on Friday. About a thousand unemployed people as sembled in front of the City Hall, where they remained for some time in an excited state, but, beyond an attack upon a beer wagon, from which they took the kegs and drank the contents, and the cleaning out of a' ; bread wagon, no reprehensible acts were committed. In the afternoon the city Council met, and, after long discussion, decided to employ as ' many as it could in earthworks at sixty cents a day. Their cry was, - "We are suffering, and want food." Senator Davis, of W. Va., has in- - i troduced a bill in Congress making an appropriation for continuing the improvement of the Kanawha river. It was referred to the committee on Commerce. -'. - Senator Morton proposes to test the. fealty of the Confederate Gen , erals in Congress to National unity. He has introduced resolutions de- daring that "the people of the United "States constitute a Nation," that State Sovereignty is a false doctrine, . And that the idea of secession is in conflict witk the spirit and letter of the Constitution. We are anxious to ee the vote taken on these resolu- i , Saena.

The first was one pledging" Congress against all railroad .subsidies iu money or lands r the second' was against a Presidential third term. There were 33 votes against the first, and only 18 against the second. In the Senate, on the 16th, a bill was introduced to provide for a Com mission to examine into the liquor traffic in the United States. The bill requires the President to appoint (subject to confirmation by the Sen ate) a commission of five persons, neither of whom shall be a Federal pffice-holder nor an advocate ot pro hibitory legislation, or of total absti nence, in relation to alcoholic liquors, who shall serve without salary, and within two years investigate' the liquor trffic,its relations to the reve nue and taxation, and its general economic moral, and scientific as pects in connection with paupers, crime, social vice, the public health. and general welfare of the people, and, also, inquire and take testimony as to the practical results of license and prohibitory legislation for the prevention of intemperance in the several States of the Union -.The bill appropriates $10,000 for neces sary expenses, and requires the Com mission to report the result of their investigation to the President, to be by him transmitted to Congress. Both Houses adjourned on Mon day over to January 4th. This is the holiday recess. ' . . Union soldiers are at a discount in Washington. Even Democratic Un ion Soldiers have to retire. Most of the subordinate places about the Democratic House have been given to ex-rebel soldiers, which fact brought out the following resolution from a Republican member, to-wit: "Resolved, By the House of Rep resentatives, that in all subordinate appointments under any of the ofll of this House, it is the judgment of the House that the wounded Un ion soldiers who are not disabled from the performance of duty should be preferred." The Democratic stomach couldn t stand this, and it was amended by the offer of the following, the vote be ing strictly a party one, to-wit: "Resolved. That inasmuch as the n inn of the States has been restored. all citizens thereof are entitled to considerat'on in the appointment to office under this government" This makes easy the action of the party as stated by the correspond ent of the Cincinnati Gazette, to wit: The Democratic movement in the House against disabled Union sol diers on the rolls of its employes con tinues. OanL Ball, one of the door keepers, who had lost an arm in the service, has been discharged and his place hllea by an ex-uonieueraie officer. "A bill in aid of the Washington, Cincinnati and St Louis Railroad was introduced in the lower House of Congress on the 14th. The cor respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says it is nearly the same as passed the House Committee last session unanimously. The road is now in process of construction. The bill proposes the government to guaran tee the bonds of the road to the amount of $15,000 a mile through Virginia, and $10,000 a mile through the other less mountainous States. The company promises to carry freight after the road bed is thorough y settled at about half the rates now charged on through lines, and even less than the Erie Canal rates. Froc the nnfouldings already made in Congress the Cincinnati Commercial is constrained to say: There is to be fun in this Con gress. The true inwardness must be got out The harp that once in Dixie's halls the soul of music shed is about to be thrummed under the dome of the Capitol. Hon. Franklin Landers, of In (liana, is the only inflationist in Con gress who stood by his principles. He refused to vote for Kerr, for Speaker, at the dictation of a demo cratic caucas. All the balance went over to the Wall streeters. The steamer W. S. Pike was burned at New Orleans on the 16th. Her cargo consisting of 997 bales of cotton, 208 hogsheads of sugar, 594 barrels of molasses, and other freight, was likewise destroyed. Loss $100, 000. ... He was "taken quietly out of his bed by masked men and hung with out any disturbance," is what was done to Thomas Burt at Carson, Ne vada, on the 16th. He had been en gaged in the business of arson and robbery. We hear of an organized gang of outlaws up Kanawha, whose busi ness it is to burglarize and rob upon all occasions. ' Depredations by them are already reported. Mr. Adams, the Clerk of the Na tional House of Representatives, hav ing appointed his uncle to the posi tion of Chief Clerk, forces the Cincinnati Enquirer to say: "We object to Democratic officials follow ing the disastrous precedents laid down by President Grant" This protest might find local application. At Owensboro, Ky., on the 13th, Geo; W. Murphy and Wmv McAIier had a dispute about a debt of $2. From quarrelling they went to shoot ing, the result being both vera kill The West Virginia Legislature has passed an act requiring every applicant for a license to sell spirit ous liquors, wine, porter, &c to give bond in the penalty of $500, condi tioned that he will not permit any person to drink to intoxication on any premises under his control, and will not sell or furnish any intoxica ting drinks to any person who is in toxicated at the time, or is known to have the habit of drinking to intoxi cation, or is a minor; or furnish such drink to any person on Sunday. A violation of these conditions is made a misdemeanor. ; License in West Va is subject to a vote of the electors. The election" of town officers for Point Pleasant occurs Jan. 6th There are two tickets in the field one in favor of granting license to sell liquor, the other opposed to li cense. Virginia sends Hon. Jonn W. Johnson to the United States Senate, the gentleman having received the nomination of the democratic cau cus on the 45th ballot TnE Grangers are talking of erect ing a permanent building in Louis ville, the moneyto be raised by ten cent contributions from each of the 700,000 patrons in the United States Staves are selling from flat-boats at New Orleans at $105 to $125 for pipe, $65 to $75 for hhd. and $50 to $60 for claret; extra culled delivered alongside of ships average from $25 to $40 higher. The wine vintage in France has been so abundant during the past season that staves are nn nsuslly high, and in much demand there. Mr. Blaine has introduced in Congress his Constitutional Amend ment regarding the public schools and the free exercise of religious privileges. Something in this line will probably pass both Houses. From official records for 1870, the sum of six hundred millions of dol lars, was expended in the United Stites during that year, for liquors of all kinds. Of this sum. New York paid $106,000,000, Pennsylva nia $65,000,000, Ohio $58,000,000, Illinois $42,000,000, Massachusetts $25,000,000, Maine $4,500,000, &c. The same authority asserts, that 60,000 Americans die annually from the use of intoxicating liquors These startling facts might serve our statesmen and politicians, as a proper subject of consideration, in legisla ting for the public welfare. The ac tual waste of this enormous amount of money, and the misery, disease, crime and disgrace consequent there on is certainly a topic, worthy of note. Is it surprising that the country is overrun by "tramps," and that the jails and penitentiaries are crowded with criminals of every grade? The papers everywhere, teem with reports of the most re voltinff crimes known in any age of the world. . The funds thus pervert ed, would, if applied thereto, pay off our National debt and the wealth, peace and happiness of our people, increased beyond measure. ' The Dead of 1875. The following persons of promi nence have died during the past year: Andrew Johnson, Henry Wil son, Gov. Bramlette, Wm. H. Aspin wall, Jno. C. Breckinridge, Jesse D. Bright .Frank P. Blair, Lady Jane Franklin, Hans Christian Andersen, Henry T. Blow, and Wm. B. Astor. Ox Saturday morning there was an alarm of fire in the city. The roof and ceiling in the upper end of Mr. Deletombe'8 building on Second street below the Public Square, oc cupied by Mr. Gates as a jewelry store, had caught fire from a defect ive flue. It was extinguished with but small damage. The fire Depart ment was not needed. L. D. Posten, the wealthiest man in Athens county, died at Nelsonville on Thursday. . . The contract for . building the Dayton & . Southeastern Narrow gauge Railroad, complete for the roll ing stock, has been awarded to Phelps, King fc Co., of Boston, Mass., for $6,716 per mile. It is 115 miles in length, and is to be com pleted by October 1, 1876. A Religious War at Hand is what tlie Abbe Michaud, writing in last week's Independent, deduces from the gigantic organizations which the Jesuits and Rome are everywhere de veloping. The Ultramontanes hold doctrines that lead to insurrection, and the Abbe's conclusion is that a religious war is in the near future for Europe, and only a matter of time for America. The Rev. .Dr. Cumming, (Presby terian,) of London, says next year is to be signalized by the destruction of the Turkish Government and of the Papacy.

But one family at least do not desire a repetition of the "treat" that was served on them on last Christmas. I never could conceive why the P. M. and family, of all people on earth, should be so annoyed after doing untold service for the public, which would amount to hundreds of dollars, while others are asleep but such was the case not one hundred miles away. Some hours before day they were suddenly aroused with but one idea, that the "notorious John Mor- qan" and his "legion" had "come forth," and thev were about to be "captured;" but it was soon revealed that it was "Christmas" morn., and it was only the sons of about two families (who "sorter" call themselves young men) with some. old shotguns, who continued their noise as near as possible, almost without cessation. An impulse of a moment was to try what "virtue" there was in a little lead mixed with powder but for once desisted however, at dawn of day they took to their heels for home, feeling happy over it undoubtedly.

[Washington Dispatch, in Yesterday's N. Y. Herald.] The Democrats in Congress con tinno to play Into the hands of their adversaries. Like the Bourbons, whom they are so often named after, they "never learn anything and never forget anything." For exam ple, Senator Merrimon, of North (.Carolina, very quietly introduced a bill, to-day, to repeal Section 4,716 of the Revised Statutes. Those who were curious enough to refer to the paragraph, found that it was a sec tiou ol the Pension law, which pro vides that "no money on account of pensions shall be paid to any person or the widow, children or heirs of any deceased person who, in'ffnj' manner, voluntarily engaged in or aided or abetted the late rebellion against the authority of the United States." The introduction of this bill is about on a par, if it is not a good deal worse, than the blunder of the Louisiana resolution. The Democrats have put their foot into it twice within a single week.
