thousand persons, transacting an amount of bu-
Siness equal to. if moi greater than any town Of
the same population in the interior, and double
that of Athens. who kindly petition to have the
service to this place reduced to a tri-weekly mail,
while they are in the receipt Of a daily mail, and
did NOT petition to have it reduced.
Once more: the U. S. government, by permit
ting these contractors, hack-drivers, and foreign
petitioners to dictate the number of mails w
shall receive per week, the hours Of arrival and
departure, ETC., will lose a large amount of post
Office revenue. But few of our business men
will transact their business through the postofice.
They will be compelled to send their mail matter
by steamboat and private conveyance.
There are men who have made fortunes by at
tending to their own business, and retained these
fortunes by letting the business of other people
alone. If the citizens of other towns, who were
so eager to curtail our mail facilities will think
of this, it may be beneficial to themselves as well
as our citizens. II they have no business Of theil
own, we would advise them to emigrate. Come
to Pomeroy, and we can insure you plenty Of
work.
In conclusion, we hope and believe the Depart
ment at Washington will remedy the evils com
planned of, and that speedily. If they do not, we
shall discourse of them next. We must have a
daily mail.

Glorious Democratic victory.

The facility with which the editors of Demo-
cratic papers manufacture to order any given mum
Der Of 'Glorious Victories is certainly amusing.
Total depravity and a fertile Imagination seem to
to be the only qualifications sought for in select
ing an editor for a Democratic paper. Several
times we have been on the point Of publishing a
column or two, selected from one of their promi-
nent sheets, without note or comment. Want
of room and a tender regard for the feelings oil
Democrats in this vicinity prevented. We hope
to be forgiven, however, for making one extract
from the BLOCKING Sentinel" NE Democratic pa
per Of this Congressional district. There is about
as much truth in it as one could expect, consid-
ering its source. 1t was intended to be read, we
presume, only by those who were ignorant of the
facts. Here it is;
"DEsERTING THE ScoTT STANDARD.-The Vim
ton County Republican, heretofore a staunch and
prominent supporter of Scott, and the Wing NOM
ineeS generally, has pulled down the names Of
Scott and Graham, and will hereafter float at its
mast head the names of Pierce and King, and la.
Dor zealously for their success"
If our readers will turn to the first column o.
second page of last weeks paper, they can ascer'
tain the facts; which are briefly these: The Re-
publican, a Wing paper, was the only paper il
the Democratic county of Vinton. Its subscrip.
ton list was small. The county printing was it,
main support. A joint stock company of Demo
Gratis raised a sufficient sum to establish a pres
in vinton county, They gaveMr. Bort (the WIFI
editor) his choice Of two evils-to SELL his es
adjustment or be STARVED out. Like q sensi
BILE man he preferred the former, The Democrat
changed the name of the paper from ''Republi
cam to "Flag." Mr.. Bort is as strong a sup
porter of Scott and Graham as ever, and the edi
tor of the blocking Sentinel knows it as wei
as we do. Nothing but a prospect of starvation
could have compelled him to SELL his press t
the Democratic Joint Stock Company, who ar
now the owners and editors of the alag"
We merely mention this as one instance anon
a thousand. of Democratic newspaper ~veracity.

and another man, who fortunately escaped,
slightly wounded, were together when al

The people Of ST. Joseph have fortified
N. W. Ki,son's trading houses, where they
have united for defence, more attacks being
anticipated. The murder was committed
on the 25lh Of June, TWO or three days al
Ter the trains left for ST. Paul.
The Yankions and Cu.heans are alike
hostile to The people Of Pambina, and now
menace a general massacre OF that dislan
and unprotected community.
