We saw several persons who had ascended

gold exists all over the country. But as

james b. Steedman and the Break
P. in the Canul.


Col. MedaFy, with his usual tact, comes
out in defence Of Mr.. Steedman, and says
that the break in the canal was an occur
renee that no human foresight could have
prevented. Those who live near the scene
of the "break" tell different story-thaI
the whole loss to the State, to boat owners,
and to shippers, is traceable to the bung-
ling manner in which the foundation ofthe
aqueduet was laid. Il was commenced
early last fall, and BY digging down Eve or
six feet, foundation Of solid rock could
have been had, upon which 10 have built
the abutments. Instead of doing this, how
ever, Ia precaution that a man Of sound
sense would have taken in the erection Of
an ordinary dwelling house) the top Of the
ground was scraped away, and structure
commenced, the erection Of which cost the
State some S20o.0o0l A few days elaps-
ed after it was completed, the rains began
to fall, the foods came, and away went the
new aqueduct, 5000, 900 and all, draining
the canal, flooding the country, and bring.
ing disasters to boat owners and shippers
in its train.
IfMr. Steedman had been attending to
the duties of bis Office, for which he is am
ply paid, this occurrence could never have
taken place. If be had been there, as he
should have been, giving so important and
expensive work his personal supervision,
he must have known that with such foun-
dation, the first food would have swept il
away. If be was there, and failed to see
it, it is high time that !has people should
turn him out of position he is 30 illy fitted
to occupy. But from what we can under
stand, he left the whole management Of the
work to the contractors, and they gouged
the State at will.
The principal part Of the debt which our
State is now groaning under, and to clear
herself from which, property holders are
now paying tax almost equal to decent
rent, was made for the purpose of building
the canals. Yet through the wretched
management Of James B. SteedmaB, the
largest portion Of the most important line
in the State, (which for several years past
has paid the best) instead of helping TO pay
the debt, is actually bill of expense.
We are now at the close Of the last
month Of Spring. and not boat has been
able to run between Piqus and Toledo
The State has lost its $!00,000, spent in
building the aqueduet besides the loss Of
a principal part of a years revenue. Yet
the Democratic party" now advocate the
reelection of James B. Steedman, right in
the face Of the prayers of the people for
relief from the burden OF taxation which is
weighing them down. Instead Of having
a sound, substantial and attentive Board of
Public Works, the people may well amend
the sentence and exclaim, we are "bOred of
public Works."

for him to make against him? Did he
stop at any thing? Did not his columns
overflow with every vile falsehood that the

foully than did Sam Medary. Turn to the
files of the Statesman published in 1914

BY wise and judicious arrangement in the

tire political power Of the nation is vested in
the people; in their hands are the destiniss of
the nation; every Office in the nation is either
directly or indirectly in the gft of the people
From among themselves are men tc be chosen
to fill every official station, and to them is every
such officer amenabls. With the people rests
the entire responsibility Of so ordering political
affairs as either to secure to the country the
highest possible degree of political prosperity,
or, the most debasing and degrading systems Of
political adversely. ...-... ...-.
The question, how shall this responsibility
be met, is one from which they should not for a
moment shrink. The mutual interests of all
demand that this question should be fully and
fairly met, and that such measures be adopted
as shall result in securing to all the enjoyment
Of the highest degree of political liberty, which
is cOnsOnant with the genius of our institutions.
For this purpose the Peoples Central Com
mittee of Sandusky County, have deemed it
proper to publish the following call for COun-
ty Convention on -a 10
Saturday, the 7th day Of July next.
The people of Sandusky County without dis
tinctiOn Of party. who are opposed to the extern

reform in our present sbominabIe system Of
taxation, and those who desire a reform in the
financial administration of our State and Coun-

the COURT HOUSE in Fremont, on the day
above mentioned, at o'clock p NJ, to ap-
point delegates to the Peoples State Conven-
ton, which is TO be held at Columbus on the
18th day of July next, and to consult on public
affairs. Let there be full attendance, an in
gathering from all parts Of the County, and let

Over what Did They RejoIces

The Pro-Slayery doughfaces exploded
the promised quantity of gunpowder last
evening over the Virginia Election.
1t was sad to contemplate the cause for
which this ammunition was wasted, and
the seryility of the officials who furnished it.
the craven subserviency to the Slave
0ligarchy of some classes Of Northern peo-
pie, "Sam" vas beaten, as he richly de-
served to be, for his cringing and fawning
to the Black power, but was beaten by a
party which, protesting the name Of democ-
racy, pledged to the Slave mongers full
sweep in all the territories; and hold the
doctrine of no Freedom out side the Free
States; which aids the Missouri Williams in
spreading Slavery, with the bowie knife and
revolver, over the soil conseerated to Free
labor. "Sam" was outbid by this DemocIa-
CT in feslty to the ''sum Of all villsinies."
1t was for victory won on those grounds,
and for the success of such a cause, the
Post Master, Collector and other federal
pensioners, exhibited their Joy by the firing
of cannon in the streets Of Cleveland.
But their rejoicing will be short lived
Henceforth these Northern buzzards"
with Southern principles will have the
great Free Eagle of the North to dgbt; all
the gunpowder they will ever burn for VIC
tories won over Jove's bird will be easily
paid for. Mark that, ye Courtiers.
