The Presidential Prospect
-"Hayes and Victory."
near
Republican National Convention will
meet in Cincinnati, the question who
will be the nominee for President be-
comeH of absorbing interest. The
latest and apparently most reliable
estimates of the strength of the diff
erent candidates, place Blaine and
Morton in the lead, with Bristow
next, then Conkling, Hartranft and
Hajes. It is believed that on the
first ballot, they will stand in abont
the order named, as to the cumber
of votes received by each. It is not
expected, however, that any one will
receive a majority on the first ballot.
The whole number of "votes in the
Convention will be 754, and 378 will
will be required to nominate. It is
not claimed that either Blaine or
Morton or Bristow can command
that number on the first ballot
The result will depend, therefore, on
the combinations which may be made
on the subsequent ballots.
We think it most probable that no
candidate will be able to combine
votes enough until after a number of
ballots have been taken, and the con
test may of course, be prolonged for
a considerable time, by the reluctance
of the friends of the respective candi
dates to abandon them while there
seems a possibility of their winning
the prize. But gradually it will be
seen which candidate has the great
est strength, and the majority will
finally gather around him and decide
the contest.
In our judgment, the erjjirst con
sideration with the Convention
should be to select a man whose
character for ability, honesty and
purity is well known, and cannot be
successfullv assailed. The next im
portant requisite is the availability
of the candidate that is, his popu
larity and strength before the people
The man who can command the
strongest support, and who at the
same time, meets the imperative de
mand of the hour for undoubted abili
ty, incorruptible honesty and integri
ty, should be the man selected to bear
our standard in the coming contest
We sincerely believe that Gov.
Hayes, of our own State, combines
both these indispensable requisites
in a greater degree than any other
candidate whose name has been men
tioned. His ability is unquestioned.
His private character is unimpeach
ed and unimpeachable. Few of our
public men can compare with him in
this respect. He has passed through
three of the most warmly contested
erubernatorial contests ever held in
Ohio, in each of which he had for
his opponent one of the strongest
Democrats in the State Pendleton,
Thnrman and Allen in succession, all
Presidential candidates and signal
ly defeated them all. His memora
ble canvass ot last year, turned a
Democratic majority of 17,000 in the
yenr before to a Republican majority
of over 5,000. The effect of this
brilliant victory in Ohio, was to elec
trify the country and give us an easy
triumph in Pennsylvania, and almost
to redeem New York, in the month
following. Can any of his opponents
show a better record as a popular
candidate?
Should Gov. Haj'uS be nominated,
we believe be; 55afry Ohio by a
larger majority than any other man.
The vote of Ohio in October will
sound the key-note of the Presiden
tial contest in November. This is
admitted by the politicians of both
parties. Henca it is absolutely es
sential to our success that a man be
nominated who can carry Ohio be
yond a doubt Morton or Bristow
or Blaine might do it, but with Hayes
there would be almost a certainty of
victory. 1
Nor can we see any": good reasons
why Hayes should not ran as well in
all the other States as any other can
didate who has been named. We do
not believe he would lose a single
State that could be carried by any
other Republican. "His record on
all the important questions of the
day has been sound, consistent, and
unwavering. His services to the conn,
try during the war were conspicuous
and honorable. In a word, we claim
that he is, all things considered, the
strongest candidate, who has been
named, and therefore he ought to be
the nominee of the Convention.
Another fact greatly in his favor is
that he has not sought the nomina
tion. Whatever has been said or
done in his behalf has been the work
of his friends, without his solicita
tion. He has not therefore aroused
any such opposition among the
friends of other candidates as would
prevent their uniting cordially in his
snpport, after they find their own
choice to be out of the question. It
would be much easier for Blaine's
friends to snpport Hayes' than Mor
ton or Bristow, and vice versa.
To sum np, it seeiss prsbable. that
neither Blaine, Morton, Bristow nor
Conkling, can obtain the nomination,
and it will be found necessary to
unite upon another candidate, who
will be least objectionable to all, and
most available, and this candidate,
we think, will be Gov. Hayes.
With Hayes at the head of our
ticket, and either Gov. Morgan or
Gov. Woodford, of New York, for
Vice President, we feel confir'ent the
Republicans would carry Ohio and
Indiana in October, and sweep the
country in November, oy an over
whelming majority.

The business transacted was of
considerable importance and includ
ed a re-letting of almost the entire
line. The grading of the road from
Jackson to the Scioto river was let
to Sternberger, Pugh & Mitchell, of
Jackson. The masonry other than
that for the Scioto river bridge near
Waverlv, for the road between Wa-
verly and Jackson, was awarded to
Richardson & Mo&rpaof Scioto conn

work for the lower, portion of the
line was given to Mr. Rhoney of
Bainbridge, while the contract for
ties along tha entire line was award
ed to Burns and McClure, of Jack
son C. H. On that part of the line
lying between Waverly and Jackson
no contracts were let, nor will there
beuEtil the other portions of the
road are in shape. The contract for
the grading, masonry and trestling
of the road lying between Washing
ton C. H. and Springfield was let to
Messrs. Leonard & Frazer of New
York, and Ryan & Ohlson of Spring

SKETCH OF THE RISE AND PROGRESS
OF THE
Common Schools of Hillsboro,
Highland County, Ohio.
[CONCLUDED.]
In the year 1338 the old log school house, built in
1315, gave place to a one-story brick school house,
erected on the same site. The first school In this
house was taught by Matthew Simpson, who was af
terward succeeded in turn by George McMillen, S.
D. Beal and D. Ruckman. . At this time the inter
ests of the Public Schools were in a manfltr over
shadowed by those of the Academy and Seminary.
Still the rapidly increasing number of children re
quiring Primary instruction demanded more room
for the schools, and in ISM a two-story building,,
known aa the Walnut Street House, was built.
The schools reopened in 1847, with David Herron
and Amanda Wilson aa teachers in the Walnut
Street House, and William Herron and ' Mary
Mnntz in the old Main Street House. Abont 150
were enrolled, and the. achoola-gave .good satisfac
tion for the next year or two.
In the year I860 Professor Sams called the atten
tion of the people to the benefits likely to accrue to
the youth by an organization under the law of
1849-, known as the Union School Law. This was
ably advocated by Jamea Brown, of the Setee, and
Mr. Emrie, of the Gazette, and was resolved upon
by a popular vote, and in the spring of 1851 a
Union School Board of Education, consisting of D
J. Fallis, John M. Johnston, J. R. Emrie, R. H.
Ay res, Benjamin Barrere and Washington Doggett,
was elected. The organization was perfected during
the year, and in the autunuf the Union schools
opened, with flenry M. ShocKiey as Superintendent.
The schools comprised three grades. Primary,
Secondary and Grammar, and In the latter a fuw
High School branches were to be taught by the
Superintendent, if there were any pupils qnalilled
to pursue them. The enrollment the first year was
about 830, and the second 275.
In 18A3 the use of the Academy building was
given to the Uniou Schools by that corporation,
and in May, 1853, the Grammar department waa
moved to that bouse, under the charge of Mr
Shockley and Eli Zink. At the close of the school
year in 1858 Mr. Shockley resigned, and Rev. K.
McKinney waa appointed to the position of Super
intendent. It was determined at this time to add
High School department, to be taught by the
Superintendent, assisted by Prof. Sam a, whose
services for half of each day were secured. The
schools were iu charge of Mr. McKinney until
1356, when he was succeeded by Mr. Sams, who re
mained in charge until 1S58. During these last tew
years the system found favor, and it was believed
by those interested that it would in time supplant
all other schools.
The schools opened in 1S5S with Lewis McKibben
as Superintendent- Iu December of this year the
old Academy building, in which three grades were
taught, was destroyed by fire. For the next eight
years the schools were without good accommoda
tions, changes of teachers were frequent, and they
lost much of the ground they had gained in the
few years before.
In 1868 Mr. McKibben was succeeded as Superin
tendent by John Edwards, and in 1864 he was suc
ceeded by L. McKibben. For various reasons no
Superintendent or "A" Grammar teacher were em
ployed for 1865, and the school, including the lower
Grammar and the grades below, waa continued in
charge of B. C. Colburu, of the B Grammar grade.
The Board and the people had been convinced ot
the absolute need of a good building, which would
accommodate all the schools under one roof. They
had, in 1S63, purchased a fine lot on West Walnut
street for $8630. The purchase waa confirmed by
the vote of the people, and preparations were com
menced for erecting a commodious Union School
House. Some delays occurred, in commencing it,
but in 1865 plans and specifications were drawn up
for the present building. These articles and plans
differed materially from those of the log house of
1815, which was, by the terms of the article of
agreement, to be "chunked and daubed."
The contracts for building the new house were
let in 1866, and the construction was pushed for
ward during that year and the next two. Some op
position was made to the project at the time, but
now the entire intelligent portion of the communi
ty approve the action. The Board, under whose
auspices the house was built, consisted of C. S.
Bell, James S. Murphy, Washington Doggett, N.
Rockhold, J. C. Gregg and J. H MiUIenix.
The old school houses and lots were sold at pub
lic sale. The Main street lot sold for $2000. This, we
have seen, was bought in 1S15 for $50.i0, a big price
at the time.
At the beginning of the school year in 1866 the
Board resolved to restore the two grades that had
been dropped, and to employ a Superintendent and
A Grammar grade teacher. Accordingly, H. S.
Doggett was employed as Superintendent and. E.
G. Smith for the A Grammar grade. Although the
schools had poor accommodations, they gradually
increased in enrollment and favor with the people
until the year 1863, when the new three-story build
ing was completed and ready for occupancy.
The schools were opened on the 6th of Septem
ber in the new house, with the following corps of
teachers :
H. S. Doggett, Superintendent; L. McKibben,
High School teacher; E. G. Smith, A Gramnuir;
Mary Doggett, B Grammar ; Maggie Richards and
Mary Ellis, Intermediate ; Serena Henderson, Ma
tilda McFadden and Sarah J. Lambert, Primary.
A revised course of study and a Cjde of Regula
tions were reported by the Superintendent and
adopted by the Board. At the start 410 pupils were
enrolled. These were examined and classified in
their proper grades. Soon after the opening anoth
er Intermediate teacher was required, and Miss
Ellen Eckley was employed. It was also determined
to employ a teacher for the German language, and
Gustav Chateaubriand was employed. In 1?69 Miss
Caroline Clay was chosen to this position, which she
has filled creditably ever since. A regular High
School course of study was adopted at this time,
which, in 1STJ, was revised and extended, and ar
ranged for three years study. From that time
forward the Board determined to give diplomas to
those pupils who satisfactorily completed , the
course. Pupils completing this course are prepar
ed to enter College, or qualified for the active busi
ness of life. - We give the names of the graduates.
CLASS OF 1873.
W. A, Bronse, Edward Holmes, W. C. Nelson,
Wyatt Farrar, N. Rockhold, jr., Matilda Roads,

H. Langlcy, Joseph McD. Mathews, jr.
CLASS OF 1875.
John Higgios, Julius Pangburn, Emma Conard,

Two of the graduates and three other pupils,
who finished their course In the schools before
diplomas were given, are now teachers in the
schools. Several others are teaching in other
places, or engaged in business. Every year young
men and ladies from the country attend the schools
and qualify themselves for teachers. Many of
these are doing good work in the country schools.
The number of pupils enrolled at the beginning
of the present term in the whit.- schools was 533,
and in the colored 75. Tbis latter department is
taught in a commodious and convenient brick
school house of two rooms, erected by the Union
School and township Boards. Two teachers are em
ployed for the colored school, and good results
have already accrued from their labors. !
The Union schools are now held in great favor
and appreciation by the youth and citizens of the
town. A zeal for and an interest in learning per
vades the pupils of the schools ia all the grades,
which, as much as anything else, insures their pro
gress and success. The discipline is good, the
number of the nnruly and insubordinate being
very small. Monthly examinations in writing are
held, and public examinatlona twice in the year.
The teachers have of late years been generally
faithful, efficient, and well qualified for their ardu
ous duties. AU of these hold certificates of a high
grade from the County Examiners, and the Super
intendent one for kfe from the Mate Board ot tx
aminers. The good results of the past few years are, in a
great measure, to be attributed to the liberal and
enlightened policy of the Board of Education, in
retaining the services of successful and efficient
teachers aa lone as they desire to remain. This
has given the Bchoob a character for permanency,
and has prevented those disorganizing breaks in
the work which are the results of frequent changes
In teachers or methods.
The Superintendent and several of the teachers
have been in the continuous service of the Board for
eicht or nine years past. Changes of teachers
have been not at all freqnent.
In September, 1875, soon after the schools had
reopened for Hie present year, Mr. McKibben re
signed his position in the High School, and retired
from the profession, on account of ill health. He
had filled the place since the year 1368. He wa
succeeded by E. G. Smith, who ie doing his work
in this grade thoroughly and successfully. The
Superintendent gives three-fifths of his time to
teaching in the High School, and the remainder to
supervision. Sixty-five pupils are enrolled in the
High School, the largest number ever In attendance
In thia grade during a summer term. They are
studying Latin, Greek, German, the Sciences and
Higher Mathematics. The graduating class this
year will equal or surpass in numbers any formar

The Scioto Valley R. R. —Its
Connection with the Jackson
Coal Fields, and With
Cincinnati via Hillsboro.
The article copied in another
place, from the Chillicothe Register,
in regard to ' the re-letting of the
Springfield & Jackson R. R-, con
tains a paragraph at the close that
is important, in view of the propos
ed railroad connection between Hills
boro and the Scioto Valley R. R,
over the old road-bed from here to J
Piketon, which many of our citizens
hope to see accomplished within the
next year or two. It is stated that
Mr. Emmitt intends to lay his track
between Jackson and the intersec
tion of the Scioto Valley R. R, with
long ties, in order that immediate
connection may be had with Colum
bus and Portsmouth, and it is ex
pected that Mr. Chapman' of the S.
V. R R , will make the necessary ar
rangements for that purpose. We
have no doubt he will do so, as he
must see the great advantage to his
road of a branch to the coal fields of
Jackson county. Nor can he fail also
to realize the much greater advan
tage of a short and direct connec
tion with Cincinnati which would, be
secured to his road by closing the
gap of 35 miles between Piketon and
Hillsboro, thus making, in connec
tion with the road from here to Cin
cinnati, the shortest coal railroad
leading into that city, by many miles.
With the work already done on the
old road-bed, amounting to over
$500,000, and the right of way, a sub
scription of $5000 a mile would fin
ish the road ready for the iron, which
could doubtless be obtained by sell
ing bonds secured by mortgaga
It is true that Mr. Chapman will
have a connection with Cincinnati
by way of Chillicothe and the M. &
C. R R but the distance must be
from 30 to 40 miles greater than via
Hillsboro. And when he gets his
connection with the Chesapeake &
Ohio R R., by a road from Ports
mouth to Huntington, which is sure
to be built, he must have the short
tst practicable line to Cincinnati, for
the immense business that will pass
over the C. & O. R. R as soon as
that road can secure direct railroad
connection with Cincinnati and the
West. This shortest line is via Hills
boro, and if Mr. Chapman has not
already realized the fact, we com
mend it to his serious atentien.
When the proper time comes he
should be interviewed by some of
our leadinrr citizens, and the matter
laid before him, and we doubt not
he will render all the aid he can
toward the completion of the road
from Hillsboro to a junction with the
S. V. R. R at or near Piketon.
Parties from the Western Reserve
are said to have recently purchased
about 1000 acres of land near Wil
liameburg, with a view of engaging
in the dairy business and erecting a
large cheese factory. That's what
the railroad that is to be, is already
doing for the country along the line.

The peactice of indiscriminate drug

doctoring is to unduly stimulate organs of
the body for while, after which they are
left worse than before. Belief for the
lungs is of a different nature, and
always a gain, by leaving them stronger
for the rest it gives. Why suffer the tired

we were conducted . to the river by
the provost guards, and lea'Jing'dig
natirie8 of the place, and .quarters
furnished us aboard of a small steam
er that plied up and down the Ala
river. We made a run of about

of the back streets, and halted in line,
and searched once more for articles
contraband of war.: I presented my
Pass, from the notorious and never-
lo be-forgotten Tucker. The officer
scrutinized the document, nodded
his head at me, smiled and passed to
the next man without any examina
tion. ' The boys had been laughing
at me, for -aTrjing my pasirj btiiafter'
that tha able& were , .turned, for, all
of them were searched. . ". After' the
officer satisfied' irimself ' that there
was nothing on, our persons of value
to him, we were conducted to an old
cotton shed near the river bank, and
admitted to the inside of it through
a heavy oak door, and inside we were
greeted by about six hundred prison
ers. They had been collected from all
parts of the Union army, and none
had been in prison six months.
They were ghtd td :see!'ts,' W they
expected to hear from home, and the
inquirywas, "When were you taken?
What btate are yoa IromT.; vo' you
know anything about my friends?''
&c., questions we couldn't answer
satisfactorily.
The building was about one hun
dred feet square, and in one corner
was a brick office. The balance of
the building had a dirt floor., and
about fifty feet square in the -middle
of the 'Two!.! vial openr:TTEa walla'
around the outside were brick, and
about twelve feet high. It was
strongly guarded.
"It was late when'we arrived at our
new qaarters,' and we for the first
time Were hungry.. It was .past the
time of issuing rations, ' and ' before
we could get anything to eat . there
had to be a requisition made out and
sent to an officer for signature, and
then to some other officer to be conn
tersigned, and by the time all that
was done night was with us. When
our rations did come they consisted
of corn meal and meat, raw.
We were required to organize into
squads of ten, and appoint one man
for each squad, to receive rations
and distribute them equally between
the men. I was chosen to fill that
important office, and received ten
rations. I had no vessel to cook in
and no wood to cook with. After
impressing the guards with the fact
of our straightened circumstances,
they suggested the idea of .my going
to town and getting my baking done.
A guard was furnished to accompany
me, and after some little inquiry we
found a family that was willing to
furnish skillet and fuel, and I got a
nice corn cake and some fried meat
for the boys.
By the time we returned it was 10
o'clock P. M. The boys were asleep,
and I roused them up for supper.
They had got over their hungry spell
and requested me to keep it until
morning. I denied myself supper
also, and laid down with the bread
and meat under my head.
When I awoke next morning the
bread and meat had mysteriously dis
appeared. Some thieving hound
had stolen it, and the truth of it was
some selfish Yankee prisoner had
done it The boys got up hungry,
and we called for a reissue of grub,
but were informed that .we would
have to grin and bear it until four
o'clock in the evening.
We enjoyed ourselves by looking
at the rest of the prisoners eat then-
breakfast They accomplished the
feat without any inconvenience on
our account, and without calling on
any of us to assist them. The par
ties who stole our rations had double
allowance and if they are still living
I hope they may reflect on their bad
conduct.
The time rolled around, and we
received our rations, and wore reliev
ed from the eruawinp; hunger that
had haunted us for the previous thir
ty hours.
We received our first introduction
to vermin at Cahawba, and they kept
us company and furnished us plenty
of work to do. The place was alive
with the little torments, and as fast
as we would dismiss a brigade of
them, a division would fill their places.
A squad of the old prisoners had
taken possession of the brick office
and raised the floor and commenced
a tunnel down under the foundation
of the building. They worked at it
secretlv. and but few were aware of
it The tunnel passed under the
foundation and thence to the river
bank, and came out just at the edge
of -tke wate.- distanc--rohWr-
by Wipping into the river and swim-
ming across, and starting for Mobile,
but were followed .by ; hounds . and
caught and fetched back. The tun
nel waa discovered and . stopped np,
and an extra .guard 'placed on the
river bank., , ..'
One toprning, abouVtwo weeks af
ter we landed at Cahawba, a i side
, wheel steamer landed at the wharf,
and we were told to prepare for em--barkation,
which we did. A young,
sharp-looking fellow, by the nick
tame of "Old limber Jim," belonging
to some Illinois regiment of infan
try, by some means got hold of two
or three lbe. of tobacco' nd called
the boys around hurl and treated all
to a chew, and by the time that was
through with we were filing out of
the old cotton shed and walking the
gang plank aboard the boat, with no
kno wledge of "where wV 'wtire going.'
As soon as all were on board the.
staging was- taken - in and we were
headed up! streamy .northeast We
started without any rations, and no
body seemed authorized to ' furnish
ns any. We arrived at Montgome
ry, Ala., the next -day, without, any
thing to eat : There we werechsem.
barked and the quartermaster gave
a requisition for four crackers apiece
and we were counted out in squads
of 40 in a squad. Each squad was
ordered to stay together, and we
obeyed by remaining at our post
The crackers were issued, but our
squad was overlooked,' and didn't
get a single cracker. We reported
to the quartermaster the situation,
buVhe reifused to' re-issue anything!-.
He said the crackers were taken out
for us, and if we didn't get them it
wasn't hia fault We then applied to
the prisoners- that had receryed five
crackers instead of four torefundj. as
there were 1G0" crackers" divided
among them more than they ought
to have had. I am sorry to say it,
but as I am 6tating facts, I must sayf
that not 6ne man, as far as I know,
was willing, or did give up or divide
a single cracker with us. If there
was one man that did, I am not aware
of it
We stayed all night near Mont-

and we moved on .Last v e tuan t

our hungry appetites. At every
station the guards received tokens
of raspect from the young ladies on
the route, in the shape of bouquets,
which they received with applause.
We crossed the State line at Co
lumbus, Georgia, and in the evening
of that day, which I remember was
Saturday, we stopped at Butler, a
small town in Georgia. We received
notice that we would have to remain
overnight Our hunger was terri
ble. All were complaining of hun
ger, and 40 of us -were suffering fearfully-
The guards gave us nothing,
and the quartermaster said he had
nothing to give us. They put ns in
a hog lot to sleep for the night, near
the depot
The next morning as soon as peo
ple were stiring, the boys commenc
ed to call for something to eat Ev
ery body they saw moving they
would halloo to them, "I want some
thing to eat Give me something to
eat Say, Mr. haven't you got some
thing to eat over there?" I am not
sure but I yelled a few times myself.
If I did that was the subject
The yelling and begging lasted
until near ten o'clock A. M. when we
saw a man coming towards the pen
with a bushel basket of corn on his
shoulder. By the time he reached
the fence the prisoners were all at
that side of the pen. The man witn
the corn got on top of the fence and
commenced calling "pig-oo-an! pig-oo-ah!"
like calling hogs. The boys
were calling to him to. pitch them
some. "Here! here! This way," and
there were about 600 hands up, eager
to seize that corn. The man pitched
the corn right and left, and you never
such a scrabbling for corn. . Some
got one ear and some got two, and
the most of them didn t get any, tout
the philanthropical gentleman kept
carrying out corn until we all had
got at least one ear of corn apiece.
I was lucky and got one, wliicU 1 par
took of in its natural state.
We staved all night again in our
btoek-pen, and early Monday morn
ing, on the 10th day of May, 1864,
we were put on the cars again ana
steamed out cf Butler. We switched
off the main track, and took down
South, and about 10 o'clock A- M.
the engine whistled "down brakes"
and we stopped at a little one-horse
town almost in the woods, which we
learned on inquiry was the never-to-be-forgotten
place called
ANDERSONVILLE!
