DeDuty Husband.

In Utah, they have way of appointing
deputy husbands to look after matters and
things when The genuine article has gone
from home. We find the following notice
of this singular practice in one OF oar ex-
changes:
"When married man is called by con
ference to foreign mission, he has. the priv
ilege, as they cali it, before leaving home,
of choosing some one to take the oversight
of cattle, goods and whatever he may pos
sess, to provide for and overlook the family
and become the protempore husband of the
wife. The ostensible reason for the arrange
ment, is to prevent the husband from suffer
ing any loss during his absence on mission
ary labors, since the greatness Of his future
kingdom depends upon the number of chill
dren he has here.' Carrying out the idea
the wife is handed over to deputy husband
who maintains his position in the family un
til the husband returns"

Nearly all Of the last session Of the Legis.

mortal columns to cur particular benefit
We know nothing as to the authorship the
Democrats article, but concludo that our
language mGst certainly have meant him,
ard hence the squrming. The meaning of
our article was evident. 1t is simply this:
The Republicans of Portage county have pre-,
tended to desire the freedom of Kansas, when
in fact they secretly hoped that it might be
doomed to slavery. This is literally true,
aud we affirm that, that very pretended free
dom loving party has done more to stir up
strife, civil discord, open rebellion, and in
the ehd establish slavery in that territory,
than any and all other parties combined.

and living questions of the pr sent contest

Yesterday morning, one of the reporters
Of the New York CommerciAl Advertiser.
called at the TOmbs and received from the
matron, Mrs Foster, the following ipfcrma'
ton re Iative to Mrs. Cunningham. Evening
before last, she appeared to be very well,
but complained in the. morning of being
weak. Her daughter, Georgiana who stop
ped with her during the ni4ht, LEFT yester-.
day morning at O'Clock for 81 Bond street.
Mrs. G.. now occupies cell No. l5 on the
second floor, and no persons are allowed to
visit her, except her daughters and.her pbysi.
clan. DR.. Cpvil, the prison physician, it
will be remembered, attended her last spring,
during her Imprisonment in the Tombs, on
the charge of the murder Of DR.. Burdell.-
About three weeks before she left, he discov.
cred in her conduct something rather pecu.
liar, and finally lost al! confidence in her,
and told her that he could not attend her.
On her arrival Thursday morning at the
| Tombs, District Attorney Hall called upon
the DR.. and informed him that Mrs. Gun.
ningham was reported to be much enfee5loG
by the transportation from 81 Bond street
and requested him to go and see her, ant
Axamine into her condition. The Doctor
rreplied that under the existing circumStan
ces, he could not possibly prescribe for her
and that it would be as we'll for them to pro
cure the services of DR.. Fisk He was ac
cord.ngIy sent for, and called upon Mrs
Cunningham yesterday morning, and state
that she appeared quite well, and would re
cover entirely in few days.

timber, stones, and portions of houses were
whirled in the air and thrown distance with

ThH County Ticket.

In o short time, the Democrats of Portage
county will assemble TO choose their candi-
dates for the respective county offices. The
candidates to be chosen are:
One Representative.
One Probate Judge.
One Prosecuting Attorney.
One Treasurer.
One Clerk of the Court.
One Commissioner.
One Infrmary Director.
One Coroner.
These are all important Offices, and great
care should be taken in choosing candidates
to fill them.
In a Representative, we should look for
clear head and an honest heart--a man who
clnnot only rote correctly, but who can give
an intelligent reason for the line of conduct
he may pursue. We want one who will
correctly reflect in the performance OF his
official duties, the sentiments and principles
OF his constituants-one who will labor faith.
fully and earnestly for the permanent welfare
and prosperity of tie pt otle belonging TO his
district.
In the Probate Judge, we desire to find
integrity and clear and accurate perception
Of the legal and natural rights Of parties who
should look for man of superior financial
ability-a man who has the frmness to re.
fuse all improper demands upon the public
moneys, and who will keep the peoples cash
where "moth and rust will not corrupt
nor thieves break throughand steal" Had this
rule been observed by the Republicans, il
would have saved defalcaton Of half mil
lion with the State Treasurer; q defalcatior
of 1876 900 with the Treasurer OF Delaware
county, and a. defalcation of several thou
sand with tie Treasurer of Van Vert coun
y.
The Clerk of the Court is called upon t.
make up the record of the proceedings an
decrees of a judicial tribunal, and by that re
cord the rights and interests of parties ar
defined. He must be competent, obligin
and always ready to do his duty.
Each of the balance of the county office
is in its sphere equally important and re
sponsible with those above named. Th
Commissioners of the county are importar
guardians of the public welfare. The Prose
eutingsAttorney is the minister of govern
nent To gudrd the rights and lives of Il
people. The InErmary Director is cal
ed uPon to protect the poor and helpless

offered shelter aud home. The old on

Ehe Next Legislative and its Pol

1t is we'll known fact, that if there had
been legislature to elect, last fall, it would
have contained majority of Democrats
This and the fact that there is every pros
.pect of larger gains at the coming election,
renders it an absolute certainty that Ohio
will have Democratic Legislative Assem-
bly,. The action of this Assembly will be
looked to with deep and abiding interest by
the people. First and foremost among the
enactments will be one providing for the
safe keeping Of the public funds--one that
will place the State Treasury beyond the
reach of robbery--beyond the grasp oi
plunderers. The indie pendent treasury will
be the leading LIVING ISSUE OF the pres
ent canvass. AS it is the most importan
question now, SO will it be the most impor
tant measure ofthe next General Assembly

Sji2aE3 as tssc Grave.

The platform Of the Republican partyy
adopted at Columbus, is silent as the grave
upon the doctrine of sub.Treasury. True,
it speaks in general way Of the necessity
of guarding the public treosure-but moth
ing more. The Republicans cannot take
ground in favor Of TN Independent Treasury.
There are TOO many aristocratc bankers and
brokers who like the handling of the peo-
Piles funds, TO permit the endorsement of any
such doctrine by State Convention. Chase
advised Breslin to deposit 100000 with a
rotten bank in Cincinnati. The money was
lost. OF course Chase who gave such ad.
wise cannot tstandupon an Independent Treas
ury platform. A. P. Stone, the Republican
candidate for Treasurer, is one of the rich
and we'll born. He despises "a mechanic
with patch on his knee" and thinks there
should be privileged orders in society. He
cannot support such platform. 1t would
prevent the money from being stolen, and
he is n favor OF robbng the laboring men
of the country to aggrandize the rich.
