I)C (Enquirer. J, W. DOWEN, Editor. 31 c Arthur January 18,'71. THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER. End of Volume Four. Beginning of Volume Five. With t.hf last week's issue of the Democratic Enqmrcrclos- edits fourth year; this week. the fifth veav How well wc have pleased our read ers, and met the expectation of our friends, it is not for us to say, but we have done as well as we could do under the cir cumstances. From the first number we issued January 23, 1SG7, we have found our sub scription list increasing almost weekly to the present date. AVe shall make some changes in the paper, in the heading in particular, in a short time, and give it a much better appear ance. We are making arrange ments to add 300 worth of tvnu .and nriutinir material to tho office, and we wish every Democrat and friend to the cause of Democracy in Vinton cmintv to lend us favor and encouragement in every way that they can. We shall shortly address many of our Demo cratic friends upon the subject, ns wc wish to make immediate preparations to enter the com ing campaign with a full de termination to make "Little Vinton" do a good part ia the election of a Governor and other State officers next fall. There is much hard work be fore the Democracy of Ohio and wc shall do our share. Jackson Celebrations. The eighth of January was celebrated with old fashioned zeal and enthusiasm at many places iu Ohio as well as other States. At Woostcr, Wayne county, the festival was attend ed by an immense crowd. Speeches were made by lion. C. L. Vallandigham, John Me Swecny, Esq., Hon. L. R. Critchfield, Lecky Harper, Esq., of the Mt. Vernon Ban ner, and others. A letter was read from Mr. Pendleton, which excited enthusiasm. Mr. Val landigham" responded to the toast to "Andrew Jackson1' in a speech of great power. It made but few references to current politics-, but wis rather a striking review of Jackson's life, and a grouping of the in cidents which marked it as the career of one far removed from the dull level of common liu manity. At Mansfield and Ashland tlurc were also cele brations of the day. At Pitts burgh, Pennsylvania, there was quite a demonstration, to which Mr. Pendleton addressed a let ter. Every county in Ohio should have hereafter its Jack son celebration; no matter how simple the mode adopted, it will prove a strong incentive to Democratic organization. Dro. E. 13. Eshelman, of the Wayne County Democrat, and other, a Committee of Invita tion, sent us an invitation to be present at tho Grand Celebra tion on the 8th, but wc were unable to attend. In tho Dem ocrat of last week, which con tained a complete account of the Celebration, we notice that John McS weeny was put down to answer to tho toast in honor of the Democratic party. Wc jnako this extract, which is characterized by th'c speaker's iiceustomcil vim: "The days tS glorious integ rity among our statesmen ap peal' to havo gone by. There was a time when our" states men Madison, Jefferson, jick eon were pure and poor. Now grab is tho game of IT.S. Giant U. S., the unparalleled Bpongo applause and laughter clear down to the lowest ppawn that sticks a beer bar rel with a revenue stamp; it is ill sponge- and grab. Re newed laughter and. loud Ap plausea voico, 'Hit 'em a gum.' Certainly, I ain't half lhronl. with them yet. And now, sir, iu the midst of taxa tion, in the midst of revenue stamps that cling to us like the shirt of Nessus, all over taxes from our head to our feet, we go ahead of British taxation which was forcibly described by an English Statesman. Their window panes were taxed he said; their outgoing were taxed and their incoming, but he said finally they were car ried to the grave, where the h h tbem b Droved vastly on that. After you have got the man in Ills' taxed grave and his taxd cof fin, you go up to the Probate Judge's office and tax the little substance that is left to the widow and orphan. Wc have beaten British .taxation. We go beyond the grave and tax, tax, until our patience is taxed. Yes, sir, our patience is taxed; aud that is a tax wc ain't going to pay except in Democratic ballots next fall. "There is no escape from tax ation. It we take the wings of the morning, O tax gatherer, thou art there. It we fly to the mountains, the tax gatherer is there. If we go to the depths of the valley, he is there. The only blessed crea ture on the face of the earth at the untaxed Indian mentionei in the law. 0 that I was ad Indian, and could feci how in would be not to be taxed. Everything else is taxed and stamped, until I feel like an old Christian who inquired where ohall rest be found r Where eh:d! thejweary soul, the taxed and stamped weary soul, hnd rest? Apnlause.l And there is no rest outside of the tri umph of this same old Demo cratic party. What other par ty promises us anything? "Now come to this ruling party, and where do they say that anything is wrong or promise anything better? When you speak of burdens do they promise any relief? No, Sir. The Israelites who wandered through the wilder ness for forty years never were so oppressed as we. Old Pha- roh did hold them in bondage aud compel them to make bricks without straw, but the cunning old devil never tho't of five-twenties and ten-forties. Applause and laughter. Talk of Egyptian bondage!,. Give it to us as a matter ot choice instead of American Black Republican bondage without any sugar coated pill to it. Renewed Anplause. "Do they say they will re form? No, sir. Who dare say it and be in the party in good standing with them? Do they say in time of pence, when taxes are double what they were in times of war, that they will cut down a single cent, or that anything is wrong? No, sir. As Tom Corwin used to say, do these fellows who are fattening at the public crib go round and tell the poor work ingmen that anything is wrong? Do they tell him that the tariff is stealing the shirt from bis back, and the tea and coffee from his table? No, sir. Loweth the ox over his fodder, or doth the wild ass bray wheu he hath lots of hay? Laughter. No, Sir. "Now John Sherman Heaven save the mark I one of these men that is going to tell the poor man what is the matter, he went to the United States Senate. lie went there on a little, meagre salary; it is no great tiling, out he has got so now that he is ashamed to swear to the revenue assessor how much he is worth, and when his friends are asked, 'will millions reach it?' with a wise shako of their head they say 'No.' So that fellow . is r worth millions, and he came over here to talk to the poor men a campaign or two ago, and he told them to bear their burdens like men, the duties of patriotism required it; and lie said to them, 'U. don t r r t . -i groan.' Laughter.! "lie said ho Jovcu the JJIack Republican party. lie said for tho last few yenrs ho would not have missed belonging to it for uncounted thousands. Well I guess not. And he said further that ho felt bound to that party by hooks of steel. Jess to, jess so. Hooking and Stealing. ( Applause and laughter) Hooking and stealing bound by hooks of steal. Jcs so. And be is one of the fellows that come round to tell you that all is lovely and the goose hangs high. (Laughter.) High enough above your heads for such knaves to pluck. "Then 1 say, where snail rest be found? Where is the dawn of hope, where is there silver lining to the thunder cloud? I ask where it is: What party stands up and promises the poor man protec tion against oppression? Who promises him the right he has under the God of nature to enjoy, in the language of Jack son, that has been quoted to night: 'The blessings of Gov ernment, which, like the dew Heaven, should fall on all alike, the high and the low, the rich and the poor. I ell me what party offers me that, and I will come instantly, independent of nomenclature, witum its open doors. Is there a man here that can point me to a party with a hope in the future ex cept the good, grand old Dem ocratic party? The American Stock Journ al, for January in an entire new suit of type, is before us filled with choice original matter, and illustrated with Engravings o fine stock, drawn and engrav ed expressly for this Magazine The five proceeding volumes have been conducted with such skill, that it now has an immense circulation, winch is constantly increasing. The enterprising Publishers, N. 1'. Uoyer & Co., of Iarkerslurg, Pa., np near determined to place a copy in the hands of every person connected with 1 arm ing or Stock Breeding, by of fering to send a specimen copy free to all who apply, also show bills, and subscription, lists to all who wish to get up clui for any of tlic many valuable Premiums offered. A SEHIES of meetings have been held at the Christian Church since Sunday last, both morning aud eeniug. A num ber of interesting and earnest sermons have been preached by Eld. I. J. Chase, of Indiana, and Eld. II. A. Pallister, of Mc Arthur. Hkvivalt meetings have been held at the M. E. Church in this place during the past two weeks, under the charge of Rev. J. 1). Fry. The btandard, printed at Jackson, Ohio, came to us last week in an entirely new dress and enlarged to 36 columns. It is now the best Radical pa per published in Ohio outside of the cities, and even pre sents a neater appearance than a majority of the city papers of the same politics received at this office. It is a very useful journal and its party in Jack- 1 V son county should give it good support. Its editor and propri etor, I). Mackley, has been greatly encouraged .by his friends in making the improve ment in the Standard by pay ing trom one to three years subscription in advance. Gen. Frank P. Blair, who ran for Vice President on the Democratic ticket with Gov. Seymour, in 18G8, wa3 yestcr day elected United States Sen ator by the Missouri Legisla turo. The vote stood as fol lows: Bi'uir 19. llondorson GO. llis term will commence as soon 3 ho presents his creden tials, and will expire March 4, 1873. The Legislature elected in 1872 will choose a Senator, for six years from March 4, 1873. Governor Hayes has posi tively refused to order a spe cial election to fill Schenck's vacancy in the Third District. Ho told Col.

At the annual meeting of the North ' Eastern Bee-Keepers' Association held last Spring, at Albany, N. Y., the President and Secretary were appointed to correspond with the officers of other associations and emi nent bee-keepers of America, and invite all to unite in call ing an American Bee-Keepers' Convention. It seems that the majority favored Cincinnati Ohio, because of its central lo cality; and a call has been made to meet iu Convention at at Cincinnati, on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 8 and 9, 1871. We would suggest to our friend, J. L. Dillon, and to all other kee-kcepers in Vinton county, to hold a meet ing, as soon as possible before the Sth of February, and or ganize an Association, as there is no organization among the bee-keepers of this county, and select delegates or send some person to represent them in the American Convention. They can hold a meeting at this office if they wish. Mr. II. A. King, of New York City, the Secretary, is making arrangements to secure half-fare tickets on the railroads. We hear some complaint that the accommodations for travelers iu waiting for trains at McArthur Station, (Dun-das,)- are not very good, in consequence of no depot being there. The building used as a passenger room is in a very inconvenient place, and during "muddy times," it is much worse. We hope the M. & C. R. 11. Company will build a new and suitable passenger depot as soou as it may be convenient. IIeiie id tlio decision of tho Su premo Court on tho payment of the Morgan Ilaid Claims: No. 2(33.

The Parkersburg Bridge A. dispatch from Parkers burg, on Tuesday, the 10,th:a as follows : The new iron rail road bridge over the Ohio Riv er at this place, connecting the Baltimore and Ohio and Mari etta and Cincinnati Railroads, was completed Saturday last and formally opened last even ing by the passage of the Cin cinnati and Baltimore fast line, bound East. Thousands of people thronged the river bank and greeted the train with great enthusiam. This bridge is one of the fin est structures in the country. Its entire length is four thou and six hundred and twenty feet. The .river spans, were built by the Keystone Bridge Company, on the Louisville plan. Two of these spans ni'6 three hundred and fifty feet between piers and ninety-one feet above low water. The short spans are on the Baltimore plan, nnd were built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at their shops at Mount Clare. The masonry and superstructure arc of most substantial character, and the energy with which the entire work has been carried on to completion within so short a period, reflects great credit on the Company by which the bridge has been bu It, and on the efficient agents who have been in charge of the work. The first stone was laid in Ju ly, 1SG9, and the bridge com pleted Jan mil y 7, 1S71. Ko work of this magnitude was probably ever more quickly executed in this country. The Assistant State Cattle Commissioner of New Yoik that there are one thousand cattle in Duchess county now nfllictcd with the mouth and foot disease. This is a great milk producing country. Be ing traversed by the ilailom and Hudson River railroads, it is very accessible to market. Ibit its milk business must be seriously interfered with just now. The Queen has. selected a large quantity of the finest Irish lace for the trossean of the Princess Louise. At the Paris exibition the beauty of the Irish laces exhibited attracted universal admiration. It is said that Hclnil'ld, du ring the year 1870, paid to thr dilrerent newspapers ot tic country, and to printers, for advertising his celebrated hu chu and other preparut'on, over tfoOU.UU'J. Uia profits are reported to be over a half million from the sales of a sin gle article. It is a remarkable fact that the Radical politicians appear to be in favor of filling up tlie country with negroes, Chinese, and with all the lowest and de based races and forms of civi lization, rather than make it the abode of the highest and best type3 of mankind. They offer the greatest inducements for the degraded to come and drive out the enlightened by tendering suffrage aud political and social equality. New York Stato no longer raises tho food to supply its own people. It grows but six millions of buseels of wheat, and consumes twenty-one mil lions. One half of the total quantity of other grain con sumed in that State Indian corn, oat?, rye and barley are also supplied trom other States, The eastern part of the United States is getting to be almost as dependent upon the West tor tood as Europe is. 11.
