"That, having been followed from Sara.
toga by certain Aboltionists, who made
ovcrtures to him to run away,he was finally
persuaded to take the step. When he arriv.
ed ut Boston they paid him $500, and wan

STATE FISANCEs.-We CLEAN from the
Ohio State Journalthe following facts IN
relation to the Finances of this State:-Since
ls45, the reduction of the State debt has
amounted TO S1,G006G2. The debt had
been reduced from 20,0ls,5l5 dollars to
1885, ,t05 dollars, in January lS40 since
which time there Inns been deposited with
the agent in New York, ST. ZAP dollars, mp.
plcable TO the redemption Of State bonds.
Asimilar reduction may be expeclc cd each
succeeding year, so long as the people o
the State continue the present policy Thi.
is one of the advantages Of Wing rule-the

individual. So it seems that some of his
constituents do moi like his pcrGdy, When
they reject him, we hope that he will take
up his residence in Sugar Grove. Since
they have swallowed Mr.. Keller, they vii
doubtless receive Townshend, with open

The defeat Of Georgey, and afterwards OF
BEN, gave tie Russio-Austrian army an
opportunity to concentrate its forces, and
the surrender of Georgey followed.
Still the latest adyices put different
face upon the affair. 1t is stated that the
capitulation Of Georgey must be attributed
to English agents. who entered into nego-
tiations to save Hungary and at the same
time to prevent the Russians from gaining
too great an advantage. 1t is SAID that the
terms were discussed and arranged at War
saw, during the last visit of Prince
Schwartzenburg TO that city.
1t is said that a large part OF Georgey's
army Immediately enlisted in the Austrian
service. il is also stated that Kossuth,
IIossarus and Dembnski are in Turkey.

val OF the next steamer. The disastrous

clause in the New Constitution, giving

the Governor the removal Of Sherilis OF

per says;-
at is mockery TO make it the duty oi
the Governor 'to take care that the laws
be faithfully executed and then disarm
him Of power to fulfil the duty. Sher-
ifs aud Clerks Of Courts though elective
should be removable by the Governor, for
misfeasance and alfeasance in office"

that the people are called upon to vote
for Now Consiitutionl Is it for this
that we are asked to make all officers O.
lected by the peoplel-'rhat we should
first elect the SLeriis of the counties and
tho Clerks of Courts, and then give the
Governor the power 10 remove them al
his "good will and pleasure!"
These are officers Of the Courts. i
any man is injured by their neglect ol
violation Of duty, 10 the Court let them
be held responsible, 10 the party aggriev'
cd for the loss incurred. But let us moi
be asked TO give the Governor the Veto
Power and the power of removing those
officers elected by us. We want no man
to decide upon our case, when we can
appeal to higher tribunal. the Courts OF
Justice, and in the event Of failure there
to that last resort of tho citizen, The peo
