the citizens OF this State in pursuance
of TIE bill of rights, esd section Of our
State Constitution; but that provision
has been wholly disregarded, and the
stock has been secured by band OF
specializing cormorants and unscrupu-
loas politicians. Men who pretend to
be opposed to all banks have obtained
co1trol OF TIE new bank, end should it
ever go into operation the people wo'd
do well to remember the State Bank OF
Illinois which was under the control Of
similar politician. We desired to seethe
new bank put in operation for the ben
eft Of the county, and not for the ben.
eft Of spectators and Inscriptions
politicians. We desired to see the
stock taken by the citizens Of the sew
eral counties where the branches were
located. We never asked that this
party or that, might have control OF
the stock-we desired that one sub
commissioner might be democrat and
the other Republican. But we were
not prepared to BUY a location here,
for it was our right according to wealth
population, business, taxation and pre-
cedent.
Since we have undertaken the mat
ter we shall in due time make full
expose of the whole transaction. The
people shall see with what nonchalence
their rights are bartered and sold. and
with what brazen-faced impudence
the contracts are carried into effect
We shall have nothing to say about
the sub-commissioncrs. as they were
simply the agents Of the "high con-
tracing parties" in concentrating their
agreement. We shall publish the law,
and perhaps part Of Gov. Wrights
veto message as soon-as we can find
room.

SrRoYG ENOUGH THIS rIaE.-We an
nounced week before last that the in,

then, that somebody has consented e

to get up new one. BAIL We woult

BR00KvILLE COLLEGE.

We needed not the catalogue OF
this College to remind us Of its exis-
tence. 1t is one Of those prominent
objects. both as to position and size,
and as to its Importance that good
citizen can not well forget. 1t has
closed, as we have already noticed
another annual term, and it will begin
again on the Sd day of September.
The existence of such an institution
in any community, is mine of wealth,
yet il is to be regretted that too few SO
regard it. Those who have daughters
TO educate, can well afford to pay from
twenty to fifty dollars year, to keep
up such a school, in addition to the tu-
ition fees, rather than be compelled to
send their daughters abroad. We re-
greet that, with all its advantages and
worth, its income does not meet its
expenses. This is nothing new. and
ought not be discouraging. For at least
Is years. the Asbury University, now
one Of the best endowed institutions
in the'west, failed to meet its expen-
ses. The deficiency was made up by
the voluntary contributions of its
friends, until it could stand alone
Should the friends of liberal cduca-
tion rally around this youthful but
promising college, in a few years, il
will have established a reputation and
commanded patronage that will make
it self-sustaining. Such a work as
building and endowing such school
is not the work OF day nor year.
If in half generation that institu-
ton is put on firm basis the blessing
it will be to posterity will amply repay
those who have or shall have aided in
its building.

man gave as his author the owner Of
the negro. Mr.. B. then requested him
to 90 with him TO see the owner, which
he did, and the owner denied having
said that it was this Mr.. Bayless-his
negro said il was another man. Mr..
Bayless waited few moments for his
accusor to make such an apology as
any gentleman would make under such
circumstances, but finding it in vain,
he remarked that he considered the
retailer Of SANDER as culpable as the
originator. At this the blood Of the
Kentuckian waxed hot, and he asked
If that was intended for him. Mr..
B. replied-1t is sir, il you have re-
tailed this SANDER" Whereppon the
wrathful man struck at Mr.. B with his

As its title imports. it contain:
much Of the contemporaneous history
Of the church. much that has hitherto
been unpublished, and it will be read
with avidity. not only by the Metho

to be well versed in the history of pass

The Fair Grounds AGAIN.

MR.E EDIroR:-Your correspondent,
Townsend, need not have informed US that
he lives in Know Nothing corner of the
county; bis article is undOubted proof that
nature has qualified him for full member
ship in that celebrated organization. He
asks in what manner and for what purpose
that 1884 wss illegally obtained from the
county; and what proof there is that the
Society is to refund il? The answer to
these questions may be found in The former
article; but here is the order copied from
the books in the Auditors office.
"Ordered that there be appropriated Of
County funds to the Sandusky County Ag-
ricultural Society, the sum of $500, pro-
vided the said Society refund out of the
said $500 the sum of $3eS.l9 which was
enormously paid out of the County Treasu-
ry, TO the said Society. for the improvement
of agriculture within the said County, which
said erroneous sum was paid as follows, in
1852 $l27,7S, in 1853 $l27,73, in 1854
SI2f,73; Provided, further that if said So
ciety does not raise $500, the County is to
pay sum equal to the subscriptions Of
the said Society, subject TO the deduction
above named"
By a careful study of this order, hope
the Know Nothing Townsend man, will End
answers to bis questions As to my having
more regard for my pocket than the prin-
ciple of right, let me ask Mr. Know Moth
ing aquestion. Suppose you we're to serve
the county as assessor. juryman, or what
you please, 10 the amount of $25, and
should receive a county order in due
course therefor. You go to the Treasurer
and be tells you there isno money. Would
you not think that the Commissioners had
better save the $500 to pay the honest
debts Of the county? AS to the ak grind
ing. Rm perfectly willing every man
should grind his az. provided he does it at
his own expense. Mr.. Know Nothing
Townsend very cody winds up by saying
that 'the refundiDg of money illegally OBJ
tanned will be a matter of after considera-
,ion." These are the morals of a pickpock-
ct; but we commend him to the study Of
the above order of the Commissioners, and
assure him that be and bis brethren who
must consider whether they will return
money illegally obtained. will be closely
watched by A TAXPAYER.

The following true story comes from
Kansas: Sixty yoke Of red bulls. accord,
ing to the Frontier NeaUs, were seen last
week BY an old lady in Kanzas, hitched to
an empty wagon, which was nired in the
streets Of this city. The team reached en-
tirely from bill 10 hill, across one of our
valleys, Vulgarly called CUTS The wagon
being very tight in the mud, refused to
move; the consequence was, when that
portion Of Che team in the lead over the
other hill, spread themselves in a strong
pull, and Strengthened the chains, that %
yoke of the bulls in the centre were sus-
pended in mid air BY their necks. something
less than so feet above ground.
