THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

The Toledo Times agitates for an investi'
cation as to the legality of the wholesale
naturalization pracliced by Judge Hall al
our last court. Go ahead, say we. If one
half be true that rumor says, an investiga-
ton is needed. If not true, let the voice Of
sander be silenced, for the judge could not
then be impugned and he is personally very
popular. Let justice, law and truth be vim
dicated, whoever may suffer. ,.

The Official Vote.

All the counties but thirteen have been
returned to the Office of the Secretary of Stats.
SO far, the majority for Chase is 1868.
We have what purports to be the official ma.
jorites in these remaining thirteen counties,
except Holmes and Huron. Estimating
Holmes at 500 for Medill, and Huron 1000
for Chase, the majority in these counties is
4.l92. This added to the official returns,
makes Chase's majority l6,94l. II will vary
but few figures from that number.
The majority of the rest of the Republi-
can ticket is not known, but it will proba-
bly, range from $4,000 to 10000.
The Trimble vote is larger than we thought
few days since. All but eight counties
give him 23.j75. These are Holmes. Huron,
Jefferson, Medina, Meigs, PauIding, Pike and
Wayne, which will increase it to fraction

SEVERE Loss BY FIRE.-On Thursday eve
ming last, about 8 o'clock, the planning mill
in this place, belonging to d. Lindsay & Co.,
was discovered to be in flames, and was soon
totally consumed, with all it's machinery,
tools, &C., together with the warehouse ad
joining which latter contained about 4 400
bushels of corn belonging to H. p. AveriIl,
SALT sugar, &C., and 81 ploughs belonging to
q. w. Brown & Co., and considerable other
goods. About 10000 feet of pine lumber
on the dock, and 10000 feet of white wood
and other lumber adjoining the mill, was
consumed. Mr.. Abner Brown lost about
5000 worth of tools and implements, and
many others lost more or less. The ware
house belonged to Boston firm, and was
not probably insured-loss perhaps $1,000.
The total loss may be about 10000
Messes. Peck & Averill were fully insured in
the Ktna Co., to amount of $4,000. The
loss of D. Lindsay & Co., on the planning
mill. lumber, &C., will probably amount to
84 000, on which there was policy of SO 900
in the New Lisbon Mutual Co. There was
no property in town that people in general
would have more regretted to see destroyed
than this mill 1t had just got we'll stocked
and in full operation, and the en!erprising
proprietors were just beginning to reap some
little reward for their labors of many
months, when all was swept away in mo-
,nent. And what renders the matter worse,
it was beyond question the work of an in
cendiary. There had been no fire about the
building this year, not a candle or a match
The utmost precaution had been observed
IN this respect, and the mill had run but
slowly through the day, and had been stop
ped for four hours. We hope enough will
have been saved by insurance to enable the
proprietors to rebuild the planning mill, for it
is all improvement much needed here.

s@~ There is quite war of sentiment
among the democratic papers of Ohio as to
the cause Of their defeat at the late election
and the proper course to be pursued in future.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio Statesman,
Dayton Empire, &c, say that the cause of
defeat was want of courage, a Sinking of
the true issue, in not generally standing up
N defense of the Nebraska bill; while 9TH
ers like the Ohio State Democrat, Charley
Floods paper at Urbana, say that the support
of the Nebraska bill by the President and
Nebraskaites will of course be masters in the
matter, and the national question of free
again. The people may as we'll make up
rheir minds TO this, for there is no escape
from it.

ST LOUIS, Oct. 22.-The Kansas correspon-
dent of the Missouri Democrat says, returns
from % precincts give Reeder 1885 votes.
Still 30 precincts to hear from, and it is
thought his vote will exceed 5000 Elpc-
ton passed off peaceably. No persons were
permitted to vote unless they had been actu-
ally residents of city or town thirty days
past. Free Solers are getting evidence
wherewith to contest Whifeld's seat 10
Congress, purporting to establish, viz that
it can be proved there were only four legal
pro-slavery votes at Franklin, and Whitfield
received sixty-one. That out of upwards OF
two hundred votes cast for Whitfield al
'Wyndoph, only thirty were legal. That at
Baptist Mission, which gave Whitfield over
lone hundred votes, there were but seven tee n
legal voters, and only thirteen of them were
cast for Whitfield. r..N r -

So of Sharp's Rifles. Our friends in Kansas be-
came aware last Summer that they could no longer

should be in q condition 10 defend them. But they
had few or no arms, nor could the pioneers OF
nevly-Opened Territory be expected to arm them
selves. Four-ffths of them have too little ready
means for the purchase of the axes, poWs, and
other implements they urgently need In TINS d.
lemma. they made a confidential appeal to known
friends of the Free.State cause at the East, and
their appeal was partially responded to. A very
few men met it generously; others gave a little;
a far larger number conjured up all manner of
bugabOOs to parry it. Rebellion-cyil war-ds-

contributed generously 70 purchase those rifles,
summoned to the protection OF their pocket-bo0ks.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We have private assurances from source which
we deem worthy of confidence, which lead us TO
the belief that the Presidents Message will be
delivered to Congress in season to be sent out to
Europe, at least in substance, by the America,
which sails from Boston on Wednesday Should
the election of Speaker not be cons,unmated
to-day there is good reason to expect that
the House will either prOlong its sitting
through the night till tomorrow, or that it will
meet tomorrow, notwithstanding the ordinary OBJ
servance of that day as holiday. If the Speaker
is chosen to-day which we have not much doubt
will be accomplished, the Message Will be at once
delivered so that we shall be able to print it
tomorrow morning. But if there is no
choice of a Speaker there will, under the
circumstances, be no cause for sNprise if
the President should resort to the unu-
sual course of sending in his Message tomorrow
without waiting for the organization OF the House.
Precisely what reasons there may be in the minds
of Mr. Pierce and his Cabinet for thus anticipating
the regular order of events, we of course do not
pretend to be informed; but We repeat that,
Speaker or no Speaker, our readers need
not be alarmed at receiving The Message
in an EXTRA TRIBUNE on Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning if they do not live 1t
before erepeat that, why this ispossible we can
not attempt to state; but we must say however
that we can conceive that one OF Mr.. Pierces Mes
sages should be very hard to keep in state OF toll
cradle preservation for any considerable length OF
time; and we dare say the public will hold him
excusabe for trying get it out of his house as soon
as possible, even if more regard is paid to haste
than to the common rules of decOrum in the pro-
