Owing to the action of our present County
Judge in making the veniri for Grand Ju-
ry returnable on the 9TH of September, in
order to give himself time to canvass the
District previous to the election, the August
Term of the District Court will not be able
to try the numerous criminal cases that
should properly have been been brought be-
fore it, because they will not have been
acted upon by the Grand Jury. Although
our county Jail is filled to overfowins with
prisoners, ten of whom stand charged with
capital offences, the business of our Courts
is thrust aside to suit the electioneering
convenience of Judge Lewis How long will
the public tolerate officials who have so little
regard for their official duty?

State authorities to ascertain the whole
amount of the Sinking Fund in the Treas
ury and draso 1t theretrom. This duty was
not optional, but Imperative Had it been
faithfully performed, the whole amount of
Sinking Fund rightfully in the Treasury at
each of those dates would have been with
drawn from the Treasury and applied to
the public debt Of Ohio.
Second. The sum of $547 900 acknowl.
edged by Gibson to be missing on the day
he resigned his office, acas money belonging
to the Sinking Famd, and is alleged to have
been lost or used by Bresln and never
paid over by him to Gibson. Now pre-
suming for the sake of the argument that
this allegation is true, why has this i'm
mense delinquency, charged back gear
and half on Breslin, been so long COW
cred up by the concurrent knavery and
neglect of the Treasurer, Auditor and
Fund Commissioners? 1t will not do to
offer as sufficient apology the alleged
fact that Gibson fooled the Auditor and
Investigating Committees by producing
for their inspection, moneys and drafts
which he had borrowed for the sole pur-
pose of deceiving them. This humiliating
plea may suffice to show why they reported
that the money was all in the Treasury,
6wt IL does not explain why the 9Th section
of Kelly's new law (above quoted) was
not promptly and fully carried into effect
IT does not captain why the State Auditor
and the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund neglected to ascertain the safety of
that fund by drawing on the Treasury for
the full amount that ought to have been
there on the 18th day of June 1856. five
months after Mr.. Breslin retired from office.
1t does not erplosa why they did not draw
in like manner, on the 18th day of Sep
tember, 1856, as the law required It
does not erplais why this duty was again
omitted on the 10th day of December,
1855. It does raoterplain why it was still
neglected on the 18th day of March, 1851.
At each of these four distinct periods, it
was within the lawful power-nay, 1t scas
made the Imperative legal duty of the State
Auditor and Sinking Fund Commission
ers to have applied such a test to the con-
dition of the Treasury as could not have
failed to bring to light the alleged defal-
cation of Breslin, now claimed to have
been screened and covered up by his sue
cessor.

MIR. Payne. the Democratic Candidate
for Governor.

for Governor.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer of the l tn
has biographical sketch of Henry B.
Payne, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. He was born in Madison county.
N. Y, in 1911, and is, therefore, forty
six years of age. He graduated at Ham
ilton College, N. Y, in 1881. He after
ward studied law with Judge Fields, now
an eminent jurist in Virginia, and the late
John @. Spencer, of New York. He
came to Cleveland in 1888, and has been
a resident of the State twenty-four years
He took a distinguished position at the
bar, and held it until I846, when he was
compelled, by reason of physical debility,
to retire from the profession. He has
always been very popular in Cleveland,
and in 1S49 was elected to the State
Senate.
In that body he took distinguished
position, and his services were so highly
appreciated that in lS49 he was the Demo-
cratic candidate for United States Sena-
tor, and received the whole Democratic
vote in the Legislature for twenty-six bal
lots. The Wings and Free Soilers had
majority, however, and elected that mis-
erable ranter and demagogue, B. F. Wade
We copy the concluding portion of the
Plain Dealers article:
But of late years it has been for great
administrative and financial abilities that
Mr.. Payne has been eminent among busi-
ness men, among his neighbors, and in
municipal affairs, and which is the reason
why he has generally been elected when
political majorities were against the De-
mocracy.
Such was the case in lS47 and I94S,
when the arrangement of our city fnan-
ces required master mind to adjust them.
and to bring up the fallen credit Of the
city; and he was invited, by the vote of "a
strong Whig ward, to seat on the FL
nance Committee of the City Council; in
his election as a member of the State
Board of Equalization, and his recent
unanimous election as the financial head
of the Cleveland Waterworks Board.
Until within a year or two past he had
also, for some time, been President of the
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Rail-
read Company.
1t is well known that he was one of the
delegates at large in the National Con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Buchanan
for President, and that no man in Ohio
did more etfectual service on the stump in
behalf Of that statesman than he. We
believe it was through his powerful argu-
ments and spirit-stirring appeals to the
people of Northern Ohio, more than any
other man, that the unprecedented major
ity Of eighty thousand against the Demo
cracy in 1854 was swept away and re-
duced to the barest plurality. He is now
the dauntless leader of hundred and
seventy thousand Democrats, all true as
steel, to whom he declares, in language no
less spirited than characteristic, that ''in
the battle in which we are engaged ask no
Democrat to go where not am first found
bearing the standard which you have
placed in my hands,"
