The law provides the proceeding known as "ds-
tress" for individuals, and when individuals refuse
to pay, distress is the word which indicates the
operation he has got to 90 through. Let Banker
who complains about Crowbar laws, read over all
of the tax laws that have ever been enacted and
section 81 of the last tax law, April Is 1862 and
hide his head for shame.
The Supreme Court last winter decided that a
applicant in the hands of Treasurer was like
aorSt in the hands of Constable or Sheriff.
And if man, citizen, should dare assert
his privilege, to dispute the equality, and delay
the payment of taxes, the Treasurer comes on the
poor wight like a Constable and RUieS on all the
personal "property of every description" which
he has not in actual use, takes it off to the mar
ket place and exposes it for sale. --.s-' r..r
Now in the opinion of the Banks of the State of
Ohio, this may do for the poor devils who pay
tribute at their counters at the rate of toetv per
cent, but it is awful and should 'sfire with indg-
naton'' the whole community if it should dare be
applied to Banks at least such is, practically, the
position of the Banks now. 1t was to be hoped
that the talent and sagacity, in the service ofthese
institutions, would have saved them from con-
temptble position. But they will find that the
love of equal laws, as we'll as judgment and en-
ergy to enforce them, will ever be found among
the masses OF our land, superior to the seductons
and deceits with which they systematically
way laid. Some opportunity of canvassing the
public sentiment enables us to say that no new
legSlatlOn Is Detter approved Oy the olSntefesteu
people of the State than this. 1t is everywhere
becoming we'll understood. 1t is the instrument,
by which the whole subject of Banking carried
on in the State by the legalized systems in it, is
becoming known and appreciated. There is a
good time coming when we will be ssgiven up to
sharpers and shavers," the State Bank par
lance is; but, such as will not dare to defy the
law, who will serve our commercial necessities
with their facilities without being permitted, nay
authorized, to lap up the life blood of COM
merce by absorbing regularly one fifth to one
fourth of it every year. If the system now in be-
ing, continues for ten years with its present pes
tilential vgor it would be better for the present
generation of business men that the whiskered
legions of Napoleon should 60 over the State
foraging at large and camping in every market
place. ~ .-.

The Star, forgetting the real question at Issue
between the parties, is making its colpnms .
channel to drain off the filth and corruption Of
diseased and disordered system. Instead of at
tending to its legitimate business, it devotes it
self wholly to the abuse of certain Democratic
officials, 'the head and front of whose offending
was the withdrawal of the public printing fromS
the Star. 1t seems to us, that this is labor in
van at least it will have but little tendency to ad-
vance the cause of temperance, the tax law'op
position. Suppose it should succeed in proving ali
the slander it alleges cWi bono! How many
votes would it make for the Maine lawl How
many converts would it make to the Stars Gnti-
tax law doctrine! Would it prove that the en-
tire Democratic party was corrupta As well
might we say that that paragon of righteousness
the s'Free Church, was an institution of cofTup-
ton and wckedness, because the editor Of tho
Star is one of its pillars! No, that is not the
doctrines there is church but has in hypocrites,
party but may have dishonest members, but
want better test than the dictt7R of the Star,
to excommunicate Democrat, we have full faith
and confidence in all our Democratic Office hold

their judges. sa2ss rts

such an opinion, have yet to learn it.. The
question sa to the suficency or insuiciency ofths
law was not raised, the judgment of the Court be-
low reversed entirely on the ground that there
was manifest error in the proceedings before the
justice. These are the facts in the case, and all
the abuse and contumely heaped upon the Probate
Judge is unjust and uncalled for So far as am
concerned, care not how much the Star may
feel disposed to distinguished itself at my expense.
If the discharge of the legitimate business of my
profession is disgrace to me, what scandal should
be attached to theillegitimate pursuits Of an edf
tor who prostrates his columns for the wilful and
unmanly exercise of bitter personalities In the
exercise of my profession shall continue to dis
charge what deem my duty, without respect of
persons; nor should even stop to ask client
whether he belonged to the Free Church the
Free Sellers. And should even the editor of the
Star stand in need of my services, do not know
but that should be prevailed on to defend him.

CasuaIty-WantOnC Conduct of a Driv-

Yesterday afternoon, as omnibus was about
starting from the depot filled will passengers from
the eastern cars it was run into by the stage be-
longing to the Railroad Hotel, by which the ON
nibus was upset and broken into pieces. Quite
a number of passengers were injured S. A.
Gillett and Mr.. Coleman, both of Ravenna, re-
ceived severe contusions in the head. Mr.. Mcln-
tosh, of Shalersville, was somewhat bruised, and
his wife's jaw broken. Others were hurt less Sc
riously. .r.- 3
The driver of the R. R. Hotel stage, after
striking the omnibus, instead of holding ups lashed
his horsos, and thus produced the catastrophe.-
The occurrence was witnessed by Mr.. Lawrence,
who promptly arrested the driver of the stage
and put him in Jail. We are assured by all who
witnessed the affair, that the omnibus driver was
entirely blameless.
The injured parties are all at the Weddell:-

A MAGNIFICENT SPEcULAT1oN.-Our friend
Bateham, of the Cutivator. has just returned from
IN inspection of the famous Peach Orchard of Mr..
Davis, about two miles east of Milford, Clermont
county He says it is the finest fruit sight he ev
er saw. One hundred acres of ground are cov-
cred with ten thousand-peach trees. They were
set out six years ago. In 1850, they averaged
one basket. three-quarters of bushel per tree,
which brought him ten thousand dollars. This
paid for his land and trees, and something to
spare. Last year there was no fruit. This year
they will average three baskets to tree. They
readily sell for, from $1,25 to 81 so per basket
The crop of this season will bring him 100000,
with nett profit of $4,000. Before the pea
ches were ripe, Mr.. Davis was offered twenty
Thousand dollars for the fruit of this year. He
had been offered one hundred dollars per acre for
his trees alone but he can do much better to keep
them: The fruit is now in its glory, and presents
one of the finest sights imaginable. 5-a
Such things should stimulate others to 60 and
follow his example. There is no danger of over
stocking the market, for railroads will soon carry
the fruit to every State and city of the Union-

The state of Ohio, VS.. Josiah Lutsey

AS an unwarranted attack has been made by
the Star upon Judge BROWN, in which my name
has been made of, propose in plain brie1
statement of the facts to present the matter fairly
before the people, that they may Judge for them
selves. .,..- s-..-. .f -- ... ... f- .a.e
An Ordinance was passed by the Trustees of
Shalersyille, under the statute of last Winter
which prohibited " all houses, shops or stores
known places of habitua resort for tippling and
intemperance.' For the violation of this ordi-
nance Mr.. LUTsEY was arrested and tried by a
jury composed of Messrs. IRA BURROUGHS, JOSEPH
PADDOCK, WILLIAM NELSON, CHARLES NORWAY,
and - HAVEN, and acquitted. o. p. Brown,
and SETH D. NORTON appearing for the State, and
CHARLES DALYRIMPLE, and myself for the de-
fence. The Star alleges that Mr.. LUTsEY was
acquitted in the face of positive evidence of his
guilt Whether the above named gentlemen
who comprised the jury, will consider the state
ment as compliment to their integrity or intelli-
gence, we do not venture to assert. r .aas. u .-
But subscription had been raised for the
purpose ofputting it through, another attempt was
made, and LUTsEY again arrested. The proof on
the first trial consisted in statements made by the
witnesses, that LUTsEY had on the 18th of Au-
gust sold liquor. The affidavit and proof on the
second was for the same, namely, that LUTsEY had
sold liquor on the 10Th of August. The affidavit
not making any direct charge that the defendant
guilty of fanythng prohibited by the ordinance,
but merely charging that LUTsEY did on the 18th
of August sell liquor, objected to the introduc-
ton of the Ordinance under it, which objection
was overruled and the ruling of the Court except
ed to. The State then produced witness who
swore that on the 18th of August, and since that
time, LUrsEY had sold liquor, On cross examine
ton asked the Witness ssdid LUTsEY, on the 18th
of August keep house, shop or store known as
place of habitual resort for tippling and intem-
perance?' to the question, Mr.. TAYLOR, counsel
for the State objected, and the Court dec ided,
that defendant charged with an offence punish
able with Imprisonment, would not be permitted
to ask witness on cross examination, whether
he was guilty innocent of the fact charged.
To this ruling of the Court took exceptions, and
believing that had sufficient grounds for reversing
the Judgment, should the defendent be found gull
ty, left the court room, and drew up my bills |
of exception, and came home. Having procured
a transcript 1 applied to the Probate Court, and
had writ of certiorari allowed, and the case was
heard and the judgment below reversed; on the
errors assigned above stated. I know of no
Lawyer here, elsewhere, who will take up the
papers in the case and examine them, that will
come to any other conclusion than did Judge
BRowN. So, that the statement in the Star as to
the opinions of our best lawyers, is mistake. If
there is any one of our best lawyers that harbors

On Saturday evening as three brothers the sons
of Mr.. JAMES STEWART of Paris in this county,
were passing the house of Mr.. THOMAS LEWIS in
Palmyra, on their way home, dog belonging to
MIR. Lewis attacked the dog of Mr.. Stewart ac-
companying the Wagon, in which the young men
were riding, and causing the horses to take fright,
JAMES, the younger of the brothers, about seven
teen years of age, leaped from the wagon, and
seizing one of the horses by the bride, endeavor-
ed to check them, but unable to hold them was
carried some twenty or thirty rods, and the bride
bit breaking was thrown on the ground with great
violence, and it is supposed trampled under the
feet of the horses. His brothers who had escaped
from the wagon without injury, succeeded in
reaching him just as he breathed his last. They
could not see whether he was tread upon by the
horses not, but from the wounds upon his
breast and limbs, it is presumed as above stated.

As the white immigrants into the Indian terri
tory have organized provisional government in
Nebraska, and are about to send delegate TO
Congress- and the question OF the iegaity OF tnelr
acts will probably come before congress, at It's
next session, the following facts, from the new
York Express are interesting:-
Nebraska is that region of the country which,
after Gen. Jackson's onset upon the Cherokees
and other Indians, in lS2930, was consecrated for
an Indian refugee perpetual Indian home tor all
time and through all ages. This onset, the histo-
ry of t. the excitement about it, and the treaties
after it. every reader OF American history must aus
know The result was the conservation OF Ne
braska to the Indians for ever and for ever
There are altogether twenty -four tribes OF great
er or less extent, now on this land. Ihey are
the SDelawares, under treaty of 1880; Shawnees,
Of Mo: !, Osages, Seneca and Shawnee; Senecas,
Ottawas, Shawnees of Ohio; Kaskias, Peorias'
Wears and Piankesaws, Miss; Sacs and Foxes,
Kickapoos, Quanpaws, Cherokees, Iowas, Sacs
and Foxes, of Mo-; Miamis, Kansas and Potowa-
tomies The various treaties with these tribes
commenced in 1918 and closed in 1916: In al
most every treaty, there is this or similar clause
on the part of the United States:-
~"Will grant by patent or fee simple to them or
tfreir heirs for ever, long they shall remain
nation,'' &c.
In several of the treaties there is an express
guarantee that there shall never be in the country
so ceded any territorial government, and that "the
same shall never become suD]cct 10 any OCdIe au-
fhority or laws" The amount of land thus con-
veyed amounts to several millions of acres
We never supposed, and we do not now sup
pose that these were treaties to be kept, as stpu-
lated but we have never supposed, and we Will
never suppose otherwise, till we are compelled,
that they will be broken without consent, without
remuneration, without fair and full agreement
AS the Indians must perish, let us strip them with
agracc.
"A provisional territorial government, we see, is
organized in Nebraska, despite these treaties.-
Settlers are going and have gone there, in the
face of these treaties and the strong arm of force
is threatened if necessary, for their maintenance
The Federal Government has but one course, if
it be just to maintain the faith of treaties while
re-negotiates The Indians, foreseeing their fate,
in all probability. will sell their soit and if SO,
though we rob and plunder, we shall do it with
something of grace if not of dignity.

FUSION IN MAHoNING.-An attempt was made
to get up "fusion'' ticket in Mahoning county
a call for a peoples Convention was got mp
and published, but the thing didn't work, and the
convention was never held. Bot the leaders Of
the affair were determined not "to give it up so,"
and they gst up another plan by which they
thought to bring about the object. They accord
ingly called the Wing and Free Soil Conventions
to meet at Garfield on Saturday last How they
succeeded we have not learned. But, fusion or
no fusion, if the Democracy of that County are
but united and true to themselves and the good
old cause, they will send confusion into the ranks
of the enemy, let them appear in whatever shape
they may. m rsas1- t:!m eal 'lrliaa

Why He GOES IT.-A certain Bank stockhold-
er, who is known to be opposed to the Maine law, |,
being asked how he was going to vote this -fail.
replied that he was going to vote the "fusion"
ticket. Upon being asked if he was in favor Of
the Maine law, he replied that he was not, but that
the efusion' candidates for the Legislature would
vote for the repeal of the law taxing the Banks
ond the crowbar law, and TO accomplish that end
he was willing to sacrifice his opinions on the
Maine law. Now, this Banker probably woala
an issue in this campaign, but it would only be
because he could not thereby subserve his inter-
est. The Bankers know what are the real OBJ
jects of this fusion" movement, for it originated
with them, is for their advantaSe, and its nomiha-
tons were controlled by them: and they know
full well, too, that it will not do for them to make
known those real objects to the people. But tho
veil by which the seek to conceal them 10 too
transparent to subserve their purpose is ,taslsi

for holding the County Fair has been postponed
to October 4th and 5th. The Society are max

creased interest manifested in the prosperity of
the Society by the the people, whose interests it
is designed to subserve.
