TUE LEARNED PETTIFoeGER AGAIN AT
FAULT.-In his issue of week before last
the learned pettifogger raised great
howl because the Commissioners had not
yet made their report. BY reference to
an act of the Legislature. published this
week, it vii be seen that they are not re-
qulred to report until June. So it seems,
that, after ali. the Commissioners under
stood their duty better than he who un-
dertook to instruct them. Since the
learned pettifogger went out of practice,
he has become considerably rusty on law
topics. We fear he will soon become a
6noao- nothing in spite of himself. His
friends. if he has any. should certainly
take him in charge.

THE END OF THE WORLD AT HAND
This important item of news has Just
reached US from France and GERMANY
Babinet the eminent Astronomer of
France and some Of his celebrated Ger
man contemporaries have decided that a
Comet will strike the earth on the 18th
day of Jane, next! The French maintain
that owing to its extreme tenuity it can
do our solid earth no harm. The Ger
mans on tie contrary assert that the nu-
cleus is ball of liquid fire, and that it
will wrap our earth in its molten waves.
If the calculations OF these astronomers
are correct the charred ashes of our Earth.
andits men and beasts will be absorbed by
the comet, and plunge directly into the
sun; For the progress of the comet will be
so much retarded by its contact with the
earth that it cannot maintain its already
narrow orbit, but must yield to the at
traction of the Sun and dive he; dlong in
to that fiery globe.--All the good peo-
pie will be taken off to more salubri-
Gus cline, aud all the scalawags and
scoundrels, especially those who do no.

hottest fire they ever dreamed Of

G Grocery Keeper" which be-
ing interpreted, means notorious drunk
en- loafer in town. whose name we will
not sully our columns by mentioning, J
amuses the readers of the Vindicotor by a
fanclful account of a night adventure, in
which be duplicates one of the proprie,
tors of this paper. No doubt the afore-
SAID drunken loafer was materially as
sisted in his amusing performance by the
learned pettifogger. However that may
be, the occurrences he relates, so far
as they refer to either Of us, are pure
fictions. Nothing of the kind ever hap
pened.
The statement in the article that we
"keep constantly on hand in our office
supply of the best rot, gut whisky" gave
US some uneasiness at first, as we feared
We should be bored with whisky loving
BUCCANEERS begging US to "treat." but
no such result having occurred, satisfies
US that even the drunken democracy are
not so utterly depraved and fallen as to
believe anything that may appear in the
Vindscotor. The moral and and respect,
able portion CT the Democracy ef Wyan-
dot have long since ceased to attach the
least importance to its statements.

A WORD OF ADyIcE.-We would in
form our friends throughout the County
and elsewhere, whose business NAV call
them to the county seat occasionally, that
they are not noao compelled to put up at
a house, fanked in with dirty doggeries,
thronged with the bloatej, sinking car
cases of rotten whisky sots, whose feted
breath contaminates the surrounding at.
mosphere, and presided over by drunk
en-, dwar6sh specimen of the genus homo,
inwhom small gizzard has usurped the
place of soul.
This, we say, is not now necessary,
however it might have been formerly, as
we have at least one in Upper San
dusky at the present time that is well
kept, free from whisky influence, and a
fitplace, in every respect, for those to stop,
who would shun 'sevil communications,
which the good Book informs us, "cor-
rupt good manners" The name of the
hotel we refer to, may be discovered by
consulting our advertising columns. GA

The NATIONAL HOTEL ':EP1DEMIc," as
it is styled, was much more serious than
was at first supposed. The Boston Pos,
undertakes, in the following paragraph,
to give a new cause for it:
"The cholera prevailing at the Nation
al Hotel, Washington, is not engendered
by dead rats entirely. (although these
may have contributed to produce it, but
principally by inadequate drainage. The
gasses generated in the sewers connected
with the house, and the mephilic vapors
arising from them. together with the nat
ural consequences of an immense congre-
cation of human beings in imperfectly
ventilated apartments, are reasons suf-
fcient to account for the calamity
Mr.. Buchanan made narrow escape
with his life, and through his sickness has
been kept very quiet. and represented as
of little account, there can be little doubt
that he has suffered very severely, In
fact, nearly every one who was at the ho-
tel Jared as badly. Mr.. Appleton the ed
itor Of the Union, has scarcely etr>cov-
cred.

Mr.. Samuels represents himself as aBank
or anti-Bank man, just according to the
latitude he is in; but in Debuque, he is
known as thorough-pa paced anti Bank radi-
cal. The Dubuqe Republican says:
''The Locofocos of this region are bank
haters, and their Candidate for Governor is
bank -hater, with just difference enough to
enable him to smooth matters over in the
middle and southern portion of the State,
where the people desire the establishment Of
banking system. The State Convention
that nominated Ben. NJ. Samuels, maintain
ed a studied silence upon the subject OF
Banks. A thorough anti-Bank man report
ed the resolutions that the Convention adopt
ed: yet he made no sign upon the subject Of
Banks"

Democratic Nominations.

Ben NJ. Samuels, young lawyer of
Dubuque, and young sprig of nobility from
old Virginia, is the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for Governor of Iowa. Judge
Charles Mason was his main competitor in
the nominating convention, but the Judge
had perpetrated one act during his Judicial
career in Iowa which foored him.
In 1889, a negro slave Of Missouri, named
Ralph, had been brought by his master to
work in the Dubuque mine, but finding out
soon after his arrival in Iowa, that he was
entitled to his freedom by the jefferson pro-
viso in the ordinance Of 1887 and the Mis-
souri, Compromise, he concluded to set up
for himself and claim the rights of as.free
Niger" Ralph's old master violently seiz-
ed Ralph to carry him back to Missouri and
slavery, when by the aid of some limb Of the
law, Ralph got out a habcas corpus and on
hearing was discharged by Judge Wilson,
The case was carried to the Supreme Court
OF Iowa, where the whole case was ably ar
gued, and again decided in Ralph's favor.
The Court consisted of Chief Justice Charles
Mason and Associate Justice Joseph Will
liams and Thomas Wilson. Those Judges
decided that the Missouri Compromise was
the ''law of the land" and that as the mas
ter had voluntarily brought the slave north
Of SO deg. 80 min. N. l.. such act was in law
manumission of the slave. Judge Mason
delivered the opinion of the court. and it is
found reported at length in Morris Iowa
Reports. This decision of Mason being ut
direct war with the recent opinion of fancy
in the bred Scott case, was u judicial judg-
ment in advance against the slave democra-
cy of the present day, and hence they kicked
him overheard and nominated that young
man and new conner Samuels, whose chief
merit is that he is protege of that political
intriguer and demagogue George W. Jones,
was hostile and voted against our New Con-
stitution, and is universally in the aggregate
and detail, in the general and special, sound
on the niger question as now defined by the
fancy democracy. We feel sorry for the
old democratic leaders of Iowa to see them
thus run over by aperson of such weak pre-
tensions as Samuels.-Fort Madison Argus.
