Lacofaco County Ticket.

We gave notice last week that we should
have something to say about the merits of the
several Locofoco candidates for county offices,
and in doing so, shall say just what we think,
without intention of giving offence to any one.
Isaac Knapp. candidatefor Representative,
is an honest man, good citizen. and a clever
fellow, but he has no other qualifications for
the important station of Representatives. There
is no energy or ambition about Lin, and all
the benefit he will ever be to this county in
the Legislature, can be attained by sending
a block of wood to Columbus, and place it on
his seat, labelled, 'I always vote with the par
ty" This would have the merit of saving the
state an expense of some FIVE or six hundred
dollars. He should never be elected.
Gen. Bell. every body knows the General,
candidate for Probate Judge, is a good selec-
tion will make good officer, but Judge Ohm
Ested will make better one. Hope to see the
General defeated. 9gi3ri7i
Daniel Capper, candidate for Clerk, has
been deputy clerk for number of years;
makes an efficient and good officer: is accom-
modating and clever fellow. The only fault we
find with him, is going over to the Locofoeo
party to get the Office. The first we ever sur
missed Mr.. Capper was not good Wing, was
last Spring, when for the first time in his life,
since we have known him, we saw him ped
7 IL, 1-y,o
personal observation how MIR. Capper did
vote, but we ARE told that he voted for Gov
ernor Ford President Taylor, and Judge john
son. If we are mistaken in Mr. Capper's
political prime iples heretofore, we will at any
time cheerfully set him right before our read
ers, on being satisfied that we are in error.
Horace E. Clark, candidate for Auditor, is
fully qualified to discharge the duties of the
Office, and would undoubtedly make a good
officer We think the Wings can nominate a
man fully as competent, and who would be
better liked BY the people.
Jonas Smith, candidate for Sheriff is JUS
tice of the peace in Ballvlle township. We
know but little about him o2rselL but from
what we can learn on the streets, his nominal
ton is not very favorably received by num-
bers of his party. We think good candidate
in opposition to him, with proper exertion, can
be elected. ..H
Isaac Swank, candidate for coroner, is a fair
nomination, and he will be hard to beat He's
good clever fellow.
Hifum Hurj, for commissioner. is good
msp. but having already had the Office two
terms, he ought to be defeated.
J. P. Haynes, Poor House Director, does
verv well The honors of that Office set light
at any rate But we should like to see good
Wing elected in his stead, in order-t TO find out
how our Infrmary affairs have been managed.

Wings, Remember

That Thursday, September 4th, is the day
appointed 70 hold the Wing County ConYen-
tion,, and that it is all important that there be
a full attendance. Every man in the county.
be he Wing, Democrat, or Free Soiler, who is
opposed to the Locofoco county nominees,
and is in favor of electing good and true
Wings in their stead, is earnestly invited to
be present and participate in the proceedings.
Every, individual, however humble his posi-
ton, is entitled to have say in the conven-
vention, who shall be the Wing nominees.
There is no town clique to order delegate
convention, and then ride through the differ
ent townships and by the aid Of their person,
al friends, get up set of packed delegates
pledged to carry out their views; but on the
contrary, every opponent Of the present self
nominated candidates of the Locofoco party,
is delegate, and as such, will be entitled to
vote for the man of bis choice By this means
fair expression of the wishes of the people
can be had, and majority vote cheerfully ac-
quiesed in. ''.
Then our friends throughout The county
will see the Importance of attending the con
vention. We wish to see The party nominate
its strongest men, and after that, we want to
see each and every individual grid on the ar
NOR of correct principles, and work faithfully
for the nominees till the day of election, and
if we then fail to elect the men Of our CHOICE,
we will at least have the satisfaction of know
ing that we have, done our duty. g,
Let all bear in mind that the convention
assemblies at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, in order to get
through with the business in time for the Ju-
dicial convention, which assemblies at o.
clock in the afternoon. -

d. b. ais. Esa.

b. We Jas, week informed our readers that
this gentleman had been nominated by the
Locofoco party, as candidate for Judge Of
The Court Of Common Pleas. in this Judicial
District We must give our opponents credit,
in this matter at least, for paying some atten-
ton to the ability and qualifctions of the man,
for the post for which be is nominated. Mr..
Otis legal attaiDments are of high or
der, and we cannot doubt for a moment,
should he be elected, but tha. he would dis
charge the duties of the Office with ability.
and with credit to himself We are glad his
party had the discretion and good sence to
nominate him, for we know of no other man
in their ranks, if We are to have Locofoco al
all. that SO near comes up to our standard Of
liability, honesty, and capacity. ~
But while we concede the above .qual6ca-
tons to Mr.. Otis there are numbers of men
in the Wing party, who not only have equal
attaiuments and qualifications, but have the
.advantage-of being thorough going Wings
and pledged to sustain the principles of the
party, upon the success of which not only de-
pends the interest of our.own glorious State,
but also that Of this great Republic. We
shall therefore labor for the success of a good
Wing to that Office. and if the Wing party will
work with entire unanimity. and polltheir full
strength in this district on the day of election.
we have not the least doubt of the triumph Of
the Wing cause.

Riot al New Orleans.

Baltimore, Aug. 25.

New Orleans. Aug, 2lst, says that party
of Cuban liberators, mostly western men, ex-
.asperated By the tone Of the Spanish paper
{ La Patra) this P. Nj. attacked the office Of
that paper, broke the windows and doors, and
threw the type and furniture into the street

of the police. rg fa.sea
After demolishing the Patria Office, the
rioters proceeded 10 St Charles and Graver
sts,, broke in the doors and windows and des-
troyed all the stocks and fixtures which were
very valuable.
! At Z o'clock the rioters went to the Office of
the Spanish consul and destroyed desks fur
niture and property of all kinds. They also
broke down the sign which they carried in
triumph to the meeting held on Lafayette
square.
Another dispatch. dated the 24th says that
mob Of 1000 men surrounded the City pris-
on this a. NJ. where the Spanish consul had
taken refuge, and threatened to demolsh it
unless he was delivered up to them. There
were about so police on the ground.
Nearly all the cigar shops kept by Span
iards were destroyed.
Yesterday minute guns were fred from
morning till night, in honor Of The murdered
liberators. The bodies of Victor, Kerr and
Colonel Crittenden, attracted many visitors
and produced much feeling, a.r..
Three or four Spanish Coffee Houses were
also destroyed. The military were called out
1t is said the Spanish Consul received sew

For publishing the laws. the county pays
not quite IS cents square, while it has pad
for all other printing, except that done by Mr..
Shrenk, one dollar a square. But there is
this difference: the laws are printed only once,
while the balance of the county printing re-
quires three insertions. But after the type is
set for the first insertion, there is not more
than half the expense attending the second
and third insertions, and reckoning the cost
accordingly, there. should be added twenty
FIVE cents more to make it pay, which would
be Fifty cents square. To make it more plain,
say for the first insertion 25 cts.
For the I'd and Sd, l2R cts each. 25 do.
Making SO cents a square. Where the
county printing is principally done by one Of
fee, fifty cents a square will better remuner-
ate the printer, than thirty dollars per month
would pay farm hand, We would be glad
to do the printing of this county at that price,
and then, we can assure our readers, that we
would be making money faster than we did
in taking the census of this county, which the
Democrat has told you SO much about
Again, we find on examination, that the
county has invariably paid one dollar per
quire for blanks. If it did not ge over FIVE or
ten quires printed at time. that price would
not be out of the way. But when it gets from
20 to 100 quires printed. that price is entire
ly too much-one hundred per cent more
than any printer in the State would think of
asking any individual for the same work.
To sum up the whole matter in a nut shell,
the county has paid about double for its prin-
ting what it was worth, and double what we
should have asked for doing it, and for what
we are willing to do the same kind of work
for now. .....
The Democrat has asserted that our OBJ
ject in this matter was to obtain the county
printing. 1t does not follow that we would
get the printing. because it should be done at
less price than has heretofore been paid for
lit. If the Auditor, or. other officer, who have
printing TO do, has the interest of the county
at heart, it is their duty to let it to the low
est bidder. We believe it is. admitted that
we do as neat work at the Freeman Office, as
our neighbor ofthe Democrat. Then why are
the taxpayers of this county compelled to pay
two prices for printing? And why are we
