GE-The Cincinnati ",Gazette'' of the
3oth ult., says of Mr.. S. S. Cox, member
of Congress from the Columbus District:
OF all the weather cocks of the day, he
is one of the most remarkable. At the
dawn of the Douglas rebellion, this am
bilious young fowl crowed the most Justify
of all. The new Hall of the House of
Represen alives resounded his shrill notes.
first of all the assembled members, and
his jubilant strains were poured forth in
honor of Douglas Democracy.
Yesterday, this ambitious member took
occasion to define his position anew. He
had been the first to raise hisYoiee against
the diSjunctiye,) he,was now determined
would have been sufficiently understood in
care to have it-had he waited for the call
of the yeas and rays. But he evidently
had load on his mind, and could not vote
better served his turn than the words he
uttered
The character of the English game is
too clearly understood to be logged in the
least by his cloudy expressions. Lis gilt
so as to blind them to the real treachery OF
his conduct.
From this time forth, Mr.. Cox may hang
UP his violin. There is no more hard
work for him TO do in Congress, after his
term is out. a true, honest, manly
course, would have insured his reelection
We venture to say that he could not have
been defeated, had I've been willing to 60
before the people next fall on simply the
Lecompton issue. But he has changed
sides just i'll the critical moment. The
Republicans of his district are relieved
from the unpleasant duty they would 9th
erwise have had, of giving him their sup
port. The loss of his vote, at this juno
ture, may be of some consequence to thu
country, but to be rid of the incubus, al
the Opposition party now are, is in itself ;
blessing that cannot fail to be highly ap
preciated in the Columbus district.

The Fraud COnsummatedl
OvnIRERY sUCCEssFUL'

We stop the press to announce to our
-,,aaders that the Lecompton swindle has
finally been engineered through both
Houses of Congress, and so far as that
can make it so, it is oonsummatod! We
have been harshly censured for expressing
doubts of the reliability of the Northern
Anti Lecompton Democrats. IL was sup
posed impossible that men like COZ ana
Groesbeck. who had stood out so long and
spoken SO Lobly. would consign themselves
to eternal infamy by taking naked brioe'
when they had resisted all the political "p-
rpliances of the Administration. we con-
fess that up to the time it was announced
i'm Washington that 100000 had been
raised as bribery fund, we belived these
,nen, at least, would stand firm. But alas!
what party drill could not do, has been
effected with gdd! .Judas and -Ar""la'
may now be forgotten, and as synonyms
for baser treason, and more damning per-
tidy, in all future time, people will hiss In
,utter loathing, the dishonered names OF
these bribed, and perjured scoundreis'
-rrhe deed is done, but the end is not yet.
We have neither time nor room for further

GalIipOlis-The JOurInaI.

The General Government is about TO
establish National Foundrey. and most
of the cities are urging their claims for
the location Of it in their respective yicini-
sties. Among others, the journal" puts
'in a claim for Gallpolis. AT this we are
somewhat surprised. Harper could not
have reflected deeply on the subject or
he would not wish to have it there. We
could urge lis location at Pomeroy with
greater rropriety, because the conditions
of the two towns are wholly different.
Gallipolis, as everybody knows, has
long been "fnished.' Tie energetic
teitizens completed the town years ago,
while the less enterprising people of oul
city Of "salt and cinders" are still build
ing at theirs with no prospect of getting
at done for Yeas to come, if ever.
Now we respectfully submit to the
journal" that any new structure erected
in his beautiful town would mar its pro
portions, not having been taken into the
calculation when it was planned and built
whereas, Pomeroy, being in wholly un'
finished state, the Foundry could be
erected here without at all affecting the
.symme .yof theplace. Let the Foundry
then, be located at Pomeroy.

Township AssesSOrs--Distri As
SCISSORS.

There is some misapprehenslon IN re-
gard to the election of Assessors for this
Township, Salisbury, at the late election
for township officers Salisbury Town
ship having been divided into two election
precincts. each precincG was entitled to an
Assessor; and at the late election the Re-
publicans nominated and elected an As
SCISSOR for each. On the other hand, the
Buchanan party nominated and voted for
a Township Assessor, and, there being no
other person voted for as Township AS
SCISSOR, The Trustees declared him elected,
and the Town Clerk gave him certificate
of election as Toa0nshio Assessor, when,
in fact, there is no such Office in Salisbury,
as will appear from the goth section of the
law for the assessment of taxes. See
Swans Statutes, page 9o7:
"In each township, town and ward in
the State, forming an election district,
there shall be elected on the first Monday
of April, annually, by the qualiti ed cleo
tors Of such township, t"sOn or acard, or
part of a townShip, not included in any
other election district" Now, the obyi-
Gus meaning of this law is, that for every
town, ward or election district, there shall
be elected an Assessor for such district.
The literal reading of the above section OF
the law is as follows:
"In each township, town and ward, in
the State formi ~ an election district, one
Assessor for such township, 4 for SUCH
town or ward, or for such part of q
township notincluded in amy other election
dis rict." Such is the literal and true
reading of said section, and whatever con-
stitutes an election district is entitled tc
elect an Assessor for such ''district, town
ward, or part of townships" conse
quently the Trustees of the Township were
in error in certifying to the election of ;
township Assessor, when there was NJ
such Office; and they further erred i'll no
certifying to the election of the two distric
Assessors for said district; and if the Au
ditor of the county shall receive 30 notice
of the election and qualification of Asses
sors for said districts, on or before the
third Monday of April, in each year, afte
such an election, he shall consider such of
flee vacant; and he shall forthwith appoin
one or more suitable persons to discharge
the duties of such offices. And the Au
dtor receiving no notice Of the qualitica
tions of the two district Assessors, it wa
his du:y to make appointments and fill tn
vacancies for said districts, which he did
aud did it rightfully. LlGAA.
