Rich!

We asked the Junior of the Eagle,
week before last, if he was acquainted
with gentlemen by the name of Moore
of Hooking County-whereupon The Ea-
gle pardes letter from certain J. H.
Moore, of that county, in which he says,
II would inform the editor of the Gazette
that | took one exception to Col. Weller's
speech while in Logan; but would state
that | am going for Cass & Butler, and
against Daddy Ford all the time"
Lord bless your simple souls! who said
J. H. Moore was not going to vote for
Cass and Butler? The Gazette did not
say so. The Gazette did not even accuse
brother Moore oftakng tone" exception
to Weller's speech. Is Mr.. Moore's
democracy doubted. that he must thus
affirm itl But one fact here appears,
which the Eagle and Seminal stoully de-
ny-some democrats dO..take exceptions
to Col. Weller's speech. If you have
any more Moores, bring them on.

ANOTHER LETTER.

The following letter, taken from the
Philadelphia Ledger, is published as
coming from Gen. Taylor:
BATON ROUGE, La. July "a, ls4S.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 9Th inst,
asking of me line or two in regard to my
position as candidate for the Presi,
dency, has been duly received.
In reply, | have to say. that am not
a party candidate, and, if elected, shall
not be the President of party, but the
President of the whole people.
lam, dear sir, with high respect and
regard, your most obedient servant,
q. TAYLOR,
GEORGE LIPPARD, Esq, Phil. Pa.
We think that the letter is not genuine.
lfit is not, it ought to be. 1t is perfectly
in character with honest old Zachary, the
peoples candidate. lis just the posi-
ton we wish him to occupy. We ask no
man to be the President ofour party alone
he is paid by the whole people and
should serve the whole people. 1t is the
position the whig party has occupied for
years.
The Democratic papers pronounce the
above position TO be "inconsistent, ridicu-
lOaS, Absurd" 1t may seem so to them.
To party, claiming that, ITO THE VIC
TORS, BELONG THE sPoMs," it may seem
"ridiculOuS." But to large majority of
the American people, who desire homes.
ty, integrity and justice in the administra-
tion ofpubIic affairs, Gen. Taylor's posi-.
tion is not ridiculous and absurd. What!
Tell the American people that an indi.
vidual, occupying the high station of
President, is fit subject for ridicule, be-
cause he chooses to be "TnE PRESIDENT
OF THE WHOLE PEoPLE!" 1t is an insult
to popular intelligence-a sur upon the
citizens of free county!

That sword.Brsak,ng Bu.,n.s..

There is still discussion going on as
TO whether Gen. Cass did Indignantly
break his sword upon stump, StORe on
his knee, into hcO or three pieces. it don't
matter much which.
Col McDoNALD, Pay.masler Of the
Regiment, who was out at the time tho
occurrence is said To have taken place,
says that he did not do it.
Now we humbly submit, that tho only
way TO settle this question satisfactorily.
is to getup a meeting of the friends OF
Cass, appoint Committee to address
him letter and ask him io settle the
matter over his own "sign.manuel" by
saying whether he did or did not do this
thing. lie knows. and we hope that
"THR NOISE AND CONFUSION" will not be so
great that he "caanOt make him@JAcard

A Sheer LabOrevs.

The aristocratic feelings of the patent
Democracy are dreadfully wounded be
cause the working classes manifest de
cided preference for General Taylor.
AS an example, the Clarksburg (Va) Dem
ocrat, commenting upon a remark of the
Parkersburg Gazette, that the crews of
RATS and coal boats, as we'll as steam
boat passengers, were for Old Zack, re-
plies; "Are those raft and coal boat gen.
try the leaders of your party? Is that
the reason why you rely so much upon
their cheering? or is Meir political like
their mon al position, doing tie d,rty aoork

tion of your candidate!
What think you of this alstocratic
sneer at The honest labor you perform
while earning your daily bread in the
sweat of your brows!---Ph7adelpAia

THE MANUFACTURING lNTEREsT.--The
Newburyp't Herald states that the james
Mill in that town will take advantage Of
the depression Of business at the present
time, aud stop for while, in order to re-
pair their machinery.
The Herald also remarks, thar"more
than eight hundred hands have been dis
charged from the Mills under the agency
of one house of Boston, within the last
fortnight, owing to the impOssibiIity Of
selling the goods on hand, or raising mon
ey to continue the manufacture"
The factories, very generally, are sus-
pending operations, in whole or in part.
The Middlesex. at Lowell, only runs
quarter part ofthe machinery; at Andover.
some mills have stopped entirely, and
the Salisbury Company have stopped
half their works, and the Perry Cotton
Mill, at Newport, the Lewiston Falls
Woollen Mills, the Sabbatisville Flannel
Factory, and the Woollen Mills at Ware
and Clapville, have likewise stopped q
are about to stop work.

Indiana Safe for TayIor.

The Indiana State Journal, of the 4tb.
speaking of tine election in that State,
says:
Apporiioned as the State now is, this
result could not have been otherwise.
Under the bill districting the State, pas.
sed at the session of 1856, it is so
arranged that when an U. S. Senator is
to be elected, the floating members fall
into strong Locofoco counties.-Last
yaer the Wings had an equal chance, and
it resulted in their havisg a majority in
the Legislature.-The majority now Sc
cured by the Locofocos does not exceed
the advantage secured to them by the ap.
poti onment bill.
Notwithstanding this result will be
used by our opponents to encourage
their friends in the great conflict in No
vember, the Wings of the country may
rest assured that the aggregate popular
vote of the State, at the late election, is
largely Wing.
The August election, in our State, can
never be regarded as true test of
party strength. Admit that it gives
pretty good indication of such strength,
and the State of Indiana will we firmly
believe, from such indications, give a
majority for General Taylor next Novem-
ber
This opinion is founded upon an exam
inaton of the popular vote recently given
and on a reliable correspondence with
almost every county in the State.
The Wings, now no longer distracted
and divided by local questions. will ap-
ply their whole energies to give the State
to the Old Soldier Patriot, and they will
succeed. They have the power and
they will use it.-From this day, let the
most inmate organization be entered
into in every neighborhood.

Ner herein after PrOrided." The Is Sec
ton provides "that all money, bonds or
certificates in the hand ofthe Fund Com,
missioners of any county. under the pro-
visions of This act. and required to be
paid into the State Treasury, shall be by
said Fund Commissioners paid to the
county Treasurer on or before the 3lst
day of December in each year, to be by
him paid to The Treasurer of State"
The act for the better regulation of
the Surplus Revenue. passed 9th JAN
uary. 1916, vol. IA, page 6S requiring the
Fund Commissioners on or before the
first Monday of June, 1916, to transfer
and deliver to The Auditor of the county
all notes, bonds, mortgages and eviden-
ces of debt for Surplus Revenue, and all
papers, books and property belonging to
their office, and said Fund Commission
ers shall make out duplicates schedules
of all such notes, bonds, mortgages and
evidences Of debt, stating in seperate
columns the date thereof, the amount of
principal and the inreaest due, upon
which duplicate schedules the Auditor
shall give his receipts"
On the first day of February last Mr..
Weller executed a mortgage the State
ofOhio, the expressive condition of which
is THAT if the said John B. Weller his
heirs, executors, and administrators shall
we'll &truly pay or caused TO he paid to tine
Fund Commissioners of the county of
Butler and State Of Ohio, or their lawful
agents, the just and full sum of eleUen
thousand d0iIars, together with interest
thereon at seven per cent per annum,
ten days after the date hereof, then this
indenture 10 be void and of no effect,
otherwise to be and remain in full force
and virtue in law" This mortgage was
recorded on the 18th February. 1S48, in
the office ofthe Recorder of Butler Coun-
ty, book No. 10, page 456. The mort.
gage of Mr.. Ward for $4,000 is dated in
May, 1876, and recorded in book no. 10,
page 70.
From this statement of facts the con-
clusons follow:
1st Mr.. Weller and his associates
have failed to comply with the law re-
quiring them to deliver over to the Coun.
ty Auditor the notes, bonds, mortgages
and evidences of debt, aud to pay over
the funds in their hands, belonging to the
Surplus Revenue.
2nd. The mortgage executed by him
after his nomination as candidate for
Governor, without the knowledge or ac.
cepiance of the proper officers who had
by law charge of the fund, cannot justify
his previons illegal use or embezzlement
of the fund.
Sd. Mr. Weller has violated his Off
cial duties by using the money for his own
purposes, which ho was bound by law to
pay overto the county Treasurer for the
use of the State. In January, 1876, the
whole amount of funds loaned in Fair.
ield township, was only $4,000. Mr.. !
Weller has now in his hands $lI 900, as
appears by his mortgage on record. The
greater part, If not all this sum he has
embezzled or used for his own purposes
in violation Of The rules ofthe Board and
The positive provisions of the law.

This gentleman must excuse US. We
do not intend to be uncourteous to him;
but we have thought that Mr.. Weler's
defalcation demanded at our hands the
first notice, and we have not room for
Mr.. Whlman's card. We shall attend
to his peculiar position in very short
time, most likely next week. In the
mean time, we trust our readers will pro-
cure a copy ofthe Eagle and peruse the
card for themselves. In all candor, we
pronounce itan incendiary, revolutionary
publication-the bantling of diseased
Imagination, heated by wild excitement
and imaginary wrongs-the defining of a
position taken without deliberation, with
out thought the of consequences, as
is every measure of the progressive de-
mocracy,

most important duty to perform-upon

will and the perpeiuity of our Laws and
