Col. GEORGE W. MANYpENNY has
taken the editorial control of the Ohio
Statesman. His salutatory appeared
in the Daily Of the I'd. 1t is written
in good taste. He c6unscls har.

to no clique--its editor will be no
mans man but it will treat all the
public men ofthe Party fairly and IN
partially" and pledges the paper to
20 fair, candid and honest support of
the Administration" The Statesman
thus conducted will merit, and will,
unquestionably, receive an adequate
support.

The Democrat.

Many OF our political opponents
are chuckling over the idea that our
paper will be dead before the expra.
tion of another year. The wish is,
in this case, father to the thought
That a systematic effort has been and
is still being made to break down the
Democrat, we have no doubt. Per
haps this effort will succeed. If the
Democracy Of the county don't care
about hayinga paper to advocate their
principles and sustain the interests of
the county, they can very easily get
rid Of ehe Democrat. We depend on
them to sustain it. While many have
done their part nobly in this respect,
large majority have been backward
and dilatory, seemingly caring but
little whether or not the printer got
his dues, Or was encouraged to 60
ahead.
Under these circumstances is it any
wonder that the Democrat frequently
appears tame and spiritlcss Who
could compose himself to write clev-
crly with dozen unpaid bills before
him and the constable looking over
his shoulder To do so would re-
quir9 more sang Goid than we can
boast Of Mark it, gentlemen, the
spirit and ability with which a news
paper is conducted are generally indi-
catiye Of its support. Give your home
paper a cordial and liberal patronage,
and you will get a good paper-and
the more liberal the support the bet
ter the paper.
AS we before stated, democrats can
sustain a paper here, if they will
not by Jewing down the price of sub,
scription and then ask the publisher
to wait a year--not by subscribing
and never paying for the paper--not
by telling the editor to "pitch in
we'll stand to your backl" Neither of
these modes will do. The best, in
fact, the only way to keep a paper MP,
is to "plank the money down" Sub

however, to see the Democrats of the

CoMMoN SoHooL FUND.-It is known
to most of our readers that the com.
mon school fund OF the State is not
distributed to the several counties ac-
cording to the amount collected in
each. For instance: Hamilton coun-
ty pays some eighty thousand dollars
which go to support schools in 10Th,
or counties; and VintOn county re.
ceives from the Stateseveral thousand
dollars more Of school funds than are
collected on the duplicate. An effort
will be made in the present Legisla.
ture to pass a law giving to each conn.
ty the amount of school funds collect
ed therein. This, if passed, would
leave Yinton to raise some thou
sands Of dollars additional school mon
ey, annually.

A NEGRO SENrINEL.-Theodore
Parker, in recent lecture on Wash,
ington, at Boston, repeated the follow.
ing anccdoIo, related to him by an old
soldier, who vouched for ITS truth:
At Cambridge, General Washing.
ton had heard that tho colored SOL
diers were not to be depended upon
for sentries. So one night when the
password was "Cambrdge," he went
outside the camp, put on an overcoat
and then approached a colored senti-
mel. "Who goes there3' cried the
sentinel. "a friend" replied Wash,
ington. "Friend, advance unarmed
and give the countersign," said the
coIored man. Washington came up
and said "Roxb1ry." "No, sar!" was
the response. "Modlord," said Wash.
ington. mo, sar!" again returned
the colOreG soldier. "Charlestown,"
said Washington. The coIored man
Immediately exclaimed, 81 tell you,
Massa Washington, no man go by
here 'out he say Cambridge" Wash.
ington said "Cambridgc," and went
by, and the next day the colorcd gen.
tIeman was relieved of all further ne.
cessity for attending to that particular
branch Of military duty.
