Meigs County telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy [Ohio]) 1848-1859, 1855-03-20

ration and township -oncers are 10 DC chos-
en-. What preparations have been made!
What candidates are in the 6eld? Perhaps
we have no right 30 know. Perhaps this
matter will Be attended to by the two Sc
sret political societies-the Know Nothings
and the Sag NIGHTS. Now, we-do not wish
to be impertinent, but we Mould like to
know whether these societies intend to bring
out tickets at the coming spring election;
because, if they do, it VIII save the people
the trouble Of holding a nominating conven-
ton; and if they do not, and the political
parties, and the people, (relying upon them
q attend to the mater) fail to nominate
ticket, what is to be, done? The election
must 60 by default.
To obv iate this unpleasant difficulty per-
NIT us to- suggest to the members Of these
venerable orders that they whisper IN our
ear (con6dentially. Of courss) what is their
intention; and then perhaps we can recon-
mend publicly snoh course as may be deem
ed advisable for the people TO pursue We
don't wish to meddle with the private mat
ters of these orders in the least; bat, it ap-
pears to us, as thei matter stands at pres
ent, that there is likely to be fzzle. and
we wish to avert such sad catastrophe,
The officers,to be elected are:e"
Mayor MARSHALL Recorder, and Trus~
tees for the corporation.
Trustees, Magistrates, rcdnstsbleS, su'
pervisors, and Clerk for the township.
New PosT 0FFroE.-A new post-ofiice
has been established recently at Olive Cen
tire, Meigs County, o., and Q. L. s. Pack
ard appointed Postmaster. There are now
two post-offices in that township-one at
Tidd's Long BottomJ and this one at Pack
ards (olive Centre: The people at the
upper end Of Long Bottom have beencom-
planning for along time Of the want Of 4
post.ofice. Whether this oneat Olive Cen
tire will satisfy them or MOTIVE cannot say.
We are rather inclined to think twill not.
While on this subject, permit us to re-
mark that no county in Ohio stands more in
need of visit from one Of Uncle Sans
mail agents. Our post.ofices need regu.
lating; but more than all our mails need
looking after. We know one contractor
here who carries the mail just prcciselyas
he pleases-- paying no regard to contracts
and if anything is said about it, he grows
as angry and sulky as bear. Scarceiye
day passes that we do not hear compia'nsso' OF
his mismanagement. Weare aware o. sey'
eral other little matters which ought TO DO
whispered in the ear Of the Mail Agent
They are not Of sufficient Importance to DO
made public, and yet need correction.
Grpsrrs.--Another batch Of these trcnp-
esome ::vagabonds have sncamped IN 'a's
neighborhood. They are Of English crigln'-
Fortune telling and hen-roost robDlng are
their chief amusements. Those who woulg
preserve their property Or reputation should
not encourage them in the least, but rather
provide themselves with stout whips TO drlve
