shed upon our title by their ''great states

clear as sunlight, only fer TIE purpose Of
making our surrender Of what they have
shown clearly 10 be ours the more Disgrace

( rather doubtfuI,) | notice the believing

craft says: Nthe appointment Of Postmaster
came on for Mr.. =. 3. Carroll, a young man
of whom no one had though Of for the Oh.
fee. who has but lately become eligible to
vote. and who has no permanent residence
here" Mr.. c., think, was born and ralS-
ed within four or five miles Of Louisiana,
is now about twenty five years OF age, has
resided in this county since his birth, and
is at this time permanently located IN Lou

ono. .Demncrat' further says: "with Mr.
iCarroll's appointment, he received 4" o"h
,o,n;caticn from one Of our mempers OF
iConqress." There was no communication
received from a member Of Congress with
iIr. CAROLS appointment. SO much for

he supposes \ member of Congress was
consulted by the Postmaster Genera! about
appointing the person recommended by 'he
people. and he (thc member of Congress-
knew nothing about it, he referred it to the
very patriotic confidential friend OF the
Government, who undertakes to be the
ESPECIAL guardian of the rights and lnser-
ests of the people Of Louisiana aud ,icini-
ty." This is a low, pitiful ~insinuation, and
believe, false from beginuingto end. 80

lowance and settlement Of the clerks accounts,
will ever secure the public interest also that it
is perfectly within the power of clerks when there
is supervision of their accounts to subtract from
the Treasury sums to an indefinite amount.
The sum af S200759 reported in the Treasu-
rer's account as refunded by clerks, falls far short
of the sum which should have been refunded. OF
the clerks whose accounts have been adverted to
in this number several wholly neglected to respond
to the call made upon them to correct and settle
their accounts, even TO answer the letters ad-
dressed to them on the subject
BY the 9th section of the act of 1912, it was
made the duty Of the auditor to notify the States
Attorney of any county, in which the State shall
have any claim by of any default forfeiture,
fine imposed, judgment rendered, or other thing,
whereby right of action may have accrued" &C.,
to the State. In July last the Auditor complied
with the duty imposed by the section, by sending
to the States attorney of each of the respective
countless copies of the letters to each of the clerks,
who supposed TO be delinquent, wherein the
amount was stated at large or far as to give the
Attorney knowledge OF the States claim, The
Attorney was informed that the auditor would be
satisfied with any disposition Of the matter, which
he should think best in relation to the clam, and
that he was desired to inform the clerk, that it was
not supposed that any other proceedings would be
required than short interview between him and the
Attorney, in order to secure satisfactory arrange
ment of the matter"
In our next, we hope to show the result of this
attempt TO execute the law.

A destructive fire occurred at Underhill on Tues
day night of last week. The flames were not ar
rested until the store Of Messrs. Tower g. Son. to-
gether with all the goods, the dwelling house and
ut-houses of F. Fletcher, Esq, and the meeting
house, were entirely consumed. We learn that all
was fully insured, in the Mutual" we believe, ex-
cept the meeting house.
The Westinghouse of Mr.. Versal Moore, in
Georgia, Franklin County, was destroyed by fire
on Tuesday night, with all the furniture, provisions
&c. Insured in the mutual" for $500.
We learn that three barns, together with several
out-buildings belonging to Mr. John Tharpe, o.
Charlotte, were destroyed by fire on Tuesday night
A chimney burned out during the day, and it is
supposed some of the cinders had communicated
fire to the hay. Insured in the Mutual for Si00.
On the same day, with all of the foregoing, the
dwelling house and cabinet shop of Mr.. Alvord
and large two story brick carriage shop of j.
Price, of Rutland, were destroyed. For time
nearly the whole village was threatened with de-
struction, says the Herald Partly insured.

The Kidnapping Case al Columbus. The per-
son employing the victim of this iendsh outrage,
to carry the trunk the river, not stran
ger to him, but one with whom he well &C
quainted and who had ingratiated hnseifinto Jer.
rvs confidence, for the purpose of betraying him.
Armtage-for that is the name of of the villain
accompanied Forbes, the kidnapper, on his expedi-
ton Henderson, the magistrate, and two of his
co-workers in vllainy, who insuted outraged JUS
tlce by taking Jerry through the ceremony Of a
mock trial, underwent an examination before the
Mayor, on Saturday, and were held to bail in the
sum of $500 each, in default of which they were
committed to Jail to await their trial. The evil
dence elected at the examination, is Of the most
positive character, and discloses conspiracy un.
paralleed in infamy. Jerry was instructed to
leave the trunk at Henderson's offce-upon enter
ing which, the key was turned, and a light struck
by the consplrators who seized their victim, and
fastened upon him the manaces that were in read
iness. Jerry demanded trial, and designated two
of our citizens as witnesses in his behalf Hen.
derson replied, that he could 60 through with the
trial very well without their testimony, and forth
with produced certificate, made to hand, which
he signed. Forbes handed fee of ten dollars tc
Henderson, which, the latter informed one Of the
witnesses, was less than the sum agreed upon, but
that he expected to receive the balance hereafter
Less than thirty minutes were consumed in the
whole affair, including the ceremonies of fastening
The manaces, and conducting the trial, in this sane
tuaiy Of Justice The examination was conducted
with much feeling and ability on the part of the
State, by Mr.. Perry, the prosecuting attorney, an
Hon. J. X. Swan. Mr.. Matthews evinccd mucl
ingenuity in the defence.
The owner of the hack employed to convey Jer
ry 10 London, has also been apprehended, and is Il
be examined tomorrow. Stevenson, the prnci
pal Witness who is himself deeply implicated, ha
absconded, it is said since the examination. Th
community has risen up, as one man, to express
their Indignation at this infamous conspiracy. Gu
citizens have never been so highly incensed, o
their feelings SO greatly outraged. The genteme
| following IN pursuit, were joined by n consldera
bic number Of the citizens Of London, and othe
| places. Those in advance, reached Xenia an hou
after the departure Of the cars. The probabl
chances of their success is question of great an
intense interest. A subscription is on foot to pur
chase Jerry's freedom, to which our citizens ar
subscribing literally. reward is also offered ft
the apprehension Of Forbes and Armitage.
Jerry stood trial, few years slncc in Dayto
on which occasion he established the fact of h
freedom.- Ohio Statesman, March Both.

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Patriot furnishes some additional results of visit
TO the room of the Post Office Committee of the
House of Representatives, in which the British a.
gent has been so long domiciled with specimens OF
British goods, to aid in breaking down American
manufactures. We make an extract:
| visited the Conmittee rooms again to-day, and
saw still more to convince me of the utility OF the
Tariff. and that an increase Of duties does not
when competition and Improvements III machinery
flourish enhance the price of manufactured cloths
For example Mr.. EdmonIs exhibits in the Commit
tee Room, black cashmere, manufactured at Low
ell. which in 1872, under the low Tariff, cost So IL
- per ward. The same cloth, manufactured at
the same place last year, was priced at Sl,55 per
ward. Another kind cost in 1912 from 5 80 to
s.. S5 per yard. Now the same quality of goods
can be furnished in New York at 81 40. Another
piece still, that sold for Sl,70 in 1912, now brings
but 81 80.
| Tn the article of satinets, the Americans beat
the British most efiectually. Two specimens were
exhibited the American one being considered, by
all present at least cents in the yard better thar
the English yet both articles were priced, the
English at Liverpool at 3S cents, and the American
at New York at ;3S cents.
In all the articles | examined and compared
found but one of the British specimens that coult
be purchased cheaper in Liverpool, without lnclu
ding the Tariff, than the same KIND and quaiity
could be purchased in New York or Boston or PM
adelphia. The exception was a broadcoth price,
at 81, rs to $500.
How then, if our goods of all kinds are as chea
in the United States as the same kind and quall
of goods are in England, are our people to sc
them cheaper by breaking down the present reVe
nue. Tariff? | would like to have some OF the hal
splitters and metaphysicians attempt to solve TIL
problem.
