The .cliowing story. told me by an old
friend, gave me so much pleasure that |
determined to share it with the the million
readers of the LEDGER. My friend told i;
in this wise:
Not long since was stopping awhile
at Lawrenceburgh, Indiana. A former
partner of mine had been doing business
there, and as matters we're pressing, con-
sented to remain and assist him. He was
away in Ohio. and l had charge of his of
fce--a very respectable affair, by the way,
and delightfully."- located. Early ono MORN
ing as | sat alone with my feet upon the
desk, engaged in imagining the presence
of all sorts of figures, in the smoke that
curled up from my cigar, when the door
opened, and man entered. He was young
not over thirty five, and was sure l had
seen him before. He bowed, and took a
seat.
Good morning, SIR he said.
Good morning. l returned.
'Ah-lawyer-is this your my visitor
uttered, starting up.
Yes, SIR told him.
'And don't you remember your old class
mate, Harvey Gbson?'
1t was Harvey. sure enough. Good,
generous Harvey-only grown little old
er, and with slightly increased rotundity
Of frame. We shook hands, and were soon
talking of old times, but he didn't seem in
cIined to converse with much spirit.
How is brother Charley? asked
him.
'Ah!' he answered, with sudden clasp
ing Of the hands. while shade Of deep
pain PASSED over his handsome face, that's
il. He's in jail
In jail?'
Yes. In Jail! And it is on that ac-

WHAT NEWSPAPER DOES FOR Noru
ING-Thefollowing article should be read
and pondered well by every man who takes
newspaper without paying for it:
The result Of my observation enables
me to state as a fact, that the publishers of
newspapers are more poorly rewarded than
any class of men in the United States, who
invest an equal amount of labor, capital
and thought. They are expected to do
more service for less pay, to stand more
sponging and dead heading" TO puff and
defend more people without fee or hope Of
reward, than any other class.
They credis wider and longer, get oftener
cheated; suffer moro pecuniary loss; arc
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence,
than any other calling i'll the community.
People pay printers bill more reluctantly
than any other. 1t goes harder with them
TO expend dollar on valuable newspa-
per, than ten on a needless gewgaw; yet,
Everybody avails himself Of The use Of che
editors pen and the printers ink.
How many professional and political
regulations and fortunes have been made
and sustained by the friendly, though un-
requited, pen of the editor? How many
embryo towns and cities have been brought
into notice, and pulled into prosperity by
the press? How many railroads, now in
successful operation, would have loundered
but for the assistance of the lever that
moves the world?" In short, what branch
Of industry or activity has not been promo
ted, stimulated and defended by the press?
And who has rendered iG more than u
miserable pitance for its mighty services?
The bazaars of fashion and haunts of ap-
petite and dissipation, are thronged with
an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms,
and the commodities there needed are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsically
worthless, and paid for with scrupulous
punctuality; while the counting room of
the newspaper is the seat OF jewing. cheap
ening, trade, orders and pennies. 1t is
made poift of honor to liquidate grog
bill, but not of dishonor to repudiate a
printers bill.

WIRE is THE PEOPLES MoNEY?--We are
credibly informed that certain gentleman
who sports the title of Ex-Railway Presi
dent and Ex-Secretary, grand Pacficator,
&c, has been some way or other associated
with Mr. Breslin in distributing the money
that should be in the Ohio State Treasury
Also that late Democratic Governor of
Wisconsin has had a finger in the matter,
and that one or two other gentlemen who
are known, but whose names we have not
ascertained, occupy prominent position in
the same connection; and farther, that
law suit is now pending in New York that
will bring out all the facts. Very good.
Let us have light on this dark subject
Even should the funds not be recovered
it will be interesting to know where the
money is, or who the parties are that were
charged with the important duty of dis
tributing the contents of once well filled

aid of the report of the investigating com
mittee, as to the relative responsibility of

BEAR IN MIND-That Henry B. Payne
the Locofoco candidate for Governor, while
member of the Ohio Senate voted in
favor of dissolutiom'oft the Union! A res
olution was before that body instructing
our members of Congress to go for repeal
of the Fugitive Slave Law. Mr.. Geiger
mnved the arnandmontS to that resolution.
as follows:
provided, That Congress shall believe
that such repeal aOiW not tend to u dissolution
oCMe Unio1a."
Mr.. Payne VOTED AGAINST THAT AMEND
MENT, and i'll favor of the repeal of that law,
even if it effected dissolution of the Union.
Oh, these q" Union-savers, this imma-
culate Democray-upon what evil times
have they fallen, when they are compelled
to run "Disunionist' for Governor!-Ex.

WARYJNG IN T1ME.-The Lebanon Star
appropriately remarks that Payne "is i'm
mensely wealthy, and, it is limited, that in
the existing canvass, he is to spend money
like water. In addition, all the power and
patronage of the Government is to be EN-
ployed to win back Ohio to the Slave De-
mocracy. Let the Republicans be on the
alert, They have the strength, let it be
exerted. Letus not be con tented this veal
with meager nominal majority. Let the
vote be crushing and overwhelming. lie

who was endeavoring to commend the in
stitution to his favor, and you have the
political right to retain it as long as you
please, and to estimate it as a blessing.

DRouTH IN IowA.-A correspondent of
the Fremont Journal writing from Henry
county, Aug 3rd, says:-" Freque mt and su-
perabundant rains have been drenching
and floating nearly all parts of the Union
east of the Mississippi, while in this portion
of Iowa, they are suffering from drouth
unprecedented for the time of the year. l
am told there has been but two slight
showers since the goth of March last, q
period of four months. Take all kinds of
grain and grass. and there will not be hall
crop in Henry county this year"
The peach crop in the State of Delaware
is total failure. In New Jersey the crop
will be fair one.
The Ohio Wool crop is estimated to ex-
ceed that of last year by 5000, 900 pounds
sold at 40 to 60 cents per pound, accor
ding to quality.
The Louisville Courier notes sales o
three entire crops of potatoes, embracing
over 500 barrels, at Ss ,25 per barrel, tRt

He had ever combatted tho sssquatter SOW

ton. And what q harvest have we rsaped
from that novel tenet. 1t sent the slavery
issue from the halls OF Congress to the terri
tories, there to generate fraternal strife,
bloodshed, and the other unhnilowed incl
dents Of civil war, uiih0ut producing one
tangible good. 1t compelled the adminis-
tration, in the Kansas difficulties, to inter-
pose the federal arm, notwithstanding the
earnest desire that the local civil power, with
the ordinary posse commitasus, would be all
sufficient. Such were the results Of squAtter
