ZANEsvILLE AND THE STATE FAIR.-The
GAINESVILLE Courier copies the remarks of
the Leader complimentary to the capital
of Muskingum in connexion with the prob
ability of the location of the next State
Fair at that point, and remarks: ,r' nr
We don't know exacly about the brush
ing up for though some of them have
done the handsome thing, many of our
property-holders are down with so serious
an attack of chronic fogyism that but little
can be hoped for in that quarter; but we
can safely promise, that, in case the next
Fair is held here, our citizens generally
will do the honors and hospitalities of the
occasion in at least as good style as any
city of its size in the country possibly
eculd,-and, We think, Estls better.

1t will be recollected that during the
panic of a year ago, statement was made
that one individual had 100000 on de-
post in the Boston Banks. This state

He appears to have "let it lay" until his
death. Can this exhibit be paraIleled?-
We think not.

The N. Y. Couirer letter says:

I. WASHINGTON, Dec. To.
The boarding of the Washington at San
Juan was not an exercise of the right of
search, but only of the practice of it. The
right of search was abandoned by Lord
Aberdeen in le42, in his correspondence
with this Government while Mr.. Webster
was Secretary of State. 1t was abandoned
again in express terms by Lord Malmes-
bury in 1858, who generally concurred in
Gen. Cass' statement of international law
on that subject. But the practice of search
is very different thing from the right of
search, and the distinctinction is recog-
nized by the officers of all governments
Neither the British nor the American gov
eminent will surrender the practice, though
both disclaim the right. The correspon-
dence accompanying the Presidents Mes
sage shows that the boarding and deten-
tion of vessels suspected of actual viola
tions of law, are practised equally by
American, French and British cruisers
They are sanctioned by maritime regula-
ton indispensable to the police of the
seas.

The Philadelphia Press letter says:
WAsHINGroN, Dec. s.
The ceremony of swearing in Mr.. Keim
to fill the place of CLANCY Jones was wit
messed with good deal of curiosity and
interest yesterday. There was good ma
tured laughter from all sides of the Hall,
though few gentlemen from Pennsylvania
looked little long-faced and melancholy.
1t was but specimen of the result of
the recent elections, and coming right up
on the heels of the Presidents insane de-
fence of Lecompton, it was not without its
significance.
YOU'RE TOO LATE TO CONE TO SUPPER
SWEARING ALL ROUND.
The Philadelphia Press letter says:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
The President has reconsidered his social
programme, and yesterday invited num-
Der of Republicans 10 take dinner with
him. l understand that, like most of his
hospitalities, these latter come "too late,
and the Republicans, having been comPell-
ed to appease their hunger during the long
session owtside the Presidential mansion,
have resolved to appease it in the same
wav during the short session. 1t is now
given out that not single member of the
Republican party will consent to put his
legs under the Executive mahogony.
DOUGLAS ONLY DEGRADED TO THE RANKS.
The New York Posts letter says:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
Mr.. Douglas is named next on the Ter.
Com. The wonder is that he is retained
at all, that he is not thrown out altogether
as an Opposition man. That they did
not do so is an important fact. Douglas
is not discarded by the party. The party
can no more afford to loose him than
they could afford to spare Fitch and Brigh,
from the Senate. Mr.. Douglas has had
his sword taken away, has been stripped OF
his gilt emblems of office, and sent into
the ranks disgraced. The Adminitration
party still recognize him as one of the fold,
but withhold from him all power not be-
longing to private. / understand that
the arguments employed by the opponents
of Douglas, in the caucus, was, that 10
throw him entirely overheard would create
sympathy for him, and enable him the
easier to set up in the business for himself.
The party prefers to keep him within the
ring, where they can control him, and on
every favorable opportunity treat him 10 a
"bear hug" The champions for Mr.. Doug
las in the caucus, were Green, of Missouri
Stuart, of Michigan; Rice and Shields, Of
Minnesota; Brown, of Mississippi; Cling
man, of North Carolina; and Thompson,
of New Jersey. --- -.--.--.

HI-ROad Fund.


From the peculiar formation of the RIDGE.
probably nothing has been done at so much
expense. as the construction of our Roads,
The Ridge is surrounded on every side like a
peninsula by deep mountain caTlons, the beds
OF rivers, with steep bluffs on every side
Our highways have been necessarily con-
structed almost entirely by private enter
prise, and at a large expense.
This is not, perhaps, to be much regretted.
for 1t has probably given US better roads and
theyare kept in better repair than could
have reasonably been expected from the
County or Road Tax. On every side howey-
er, we feel the result of it in the continued
tax upon our wagons, buggies and horses
crossing bridges and Highways. We have no
access to Sacramento, 'Downieville or Neva-
da, but by these roads; and as we have
now got used to it--perhaps it might be as
we'll to make up our minds to ssgrin and bear
it." We must bear it--for there is no help
until charters expire by limitation But
this ought not to make US desire the less to
see the Road Fund expended upon our roads
equally with the balance of the county. In
this respect perhaps we have less reason to
complain than upon other subjects noticed in
these articles; but we are unquestionably in
favor of fair and ust division of the Road
Fund as it is, between the different townships
in proportion to the amount of taxes actually
paid by each.
CONCLUSION
Al the approaching election, voters will
unquestionably as usual cast their votes toa
considerable extent in accord ance with their
political views. But without any desire to
arbitrate between the contending factions, we
believe that there.are officers whom itheciti-
zens in their selections, ought not to be en-
tirely controlled by party, political preiudi-
ces or principles. Amongst them we would
class the mem bersof the Board of Superyi.

The election from this District is for the
period of three years. long time and in

The remuneration is small-in our opinionto

we do hope the eyoters will select one to Ell it
who will be able with honor to discharge the
duties of position, and and be true to the
best interest 6f the section of country in
which he lives.
