The Recent School Election.

That "najorities shall! rule" is an es.
tablished doctrine with u republican
people, and it would seem that we should
cheer!ulIy acquiesce in having this prin.
ciple applied 10 our School system. We
have just had an election of two directors
in which any might express their prefer.
ence for men. A board has been elect.
ed by a very decisive majority, even OF
all the voters in the district. Now let all
who had other preferences freely yield
them. Let nothing be said or done to
impair the usefulness or efficiency of our
Union Schools. What was before election

such motives. The men elected are such

Let now a conciliaiory spirit be manifest

Letter: from O Prisoner.
CuYAHoGA COUNTY JAIL.
April 18Th, 1859.

Dear Chroniole:-
1t may not be amiss for your readers
to know that twenty citizens of Ohio. are
now in Jail with felons of almost every
sort, murderers, horse thieves, counter
~feiters, ~drunkards, burglars and thieves =
being the victims of the fugitive slave
law, and of a court, which seems to have
so far conquered its predjudices' as TO
perform ''an unpleasant duty with alac-
rity and delight"
The room in which we are confined by
day. is some twelve by eighteen feet, and
by night We are lodged in cells and in the
small rooms of the j~ailer's house.
The programme appears to be marked
out as follows, as fast as any one of our
number is wanted for trial, We are to be
marched out under the escort of a deputy
U. S. Marshall, and tIied before a demo-
cratic Judge and a democratic jury. Sc
lected by a democratic Marshal, with
special reference TO working a %convic-
ton of the accused. The rulings of the
court, many of them, are a defiance Of
law and precedent, so that the most con-
seraiive men are constrained to declare
that the determination of the govern
ment is to find the accused gully, right
or wrong.
Sheriff Wightman is winning golden
opinions from the prisoners by his I'm
ceasing care to make us all as comfort
able as possible, but the utmost kindness
of the ailer. and the visits of friends can
not efface from our minds the calling
thoughts, that on the free soil of Ohio,
good men and true, guilty of no crime,
are detained from families at home, who
need their daily labor. and from duties
of various kinds in which the public have
an interest, as well as from the enjoy.
ment of freedom, the absence Of which
debsrs and degrades the man.
Do not think that any Of us are pre-
pared to yield our convictions of right in
order to escape from this "durance viie,"
or that we are ready to promise obedience
to unjust and wicked laws! far otherwise.
long ago we counted the cost and are
prepared to stand up to whatever may be
inflicted upon us, but never can we be
induced to yield our conscience to the
behests OF tyrrany.
/ know not what course others may
take, but as for me. / have never obeyed
The fugitive slave law of September 10
1850. and so help me God never will.
The people of Ohio may approve or
condemn, but in this great matter my
OWN conscience must be my guide.
Yours truly. R. PLUMB.

BEGINNING Well.

The Garfield Sentinel has changed
hands, and the new Editor, Mr.. Dawson,
says:
Bushnell, one Of the Oberlin rescue
gentlemen, whose trial was had before
The U. S. Court in Cleveland, has been
found guilty by a jury of his country in
aiding 10 prevent the capture OF a fugi-
live. At last, quite a number of these
higher law gentry of The Western Re
serve are being brought 10 justice. For
a REmber of years the peorle of oberlin
and Whereabouts, have been openly viola
ting the laws of the United States, and
recklessly defying the power Of courts
and ~juries 10 punish. There has not been
an election for Stale officers since the
establishing OF the Oberlin amalgamation
college, but that the laws of our Stale
were set aside or openly violat d.. Officers
who would attempt to vndicate the laws,
were met by armed men and obliged to
be silent witnesses Of what they were
sworn TO prevent.
We regret TO see our new neighbor, in
the first paper issued under his manage
ment, make assertion so utterly devoid
of truth. AT no election at Oberlin,
have the laws of the State been set sside,
or openly violated. 1T is a very poor
compliment thai the Sentinel pays to the
intelligence of its readers, when it gives
Mace 20 such reckless f4lseh)ods.

Duty of an Assessor in Enumeration of
White Male Inhabitants.


We learn that Ihe township assessors
suppose that they are not bound to lake
an enumeration of The white male inhab-
iiunts OF the Stale This year. They are
mistaken; he law Is expressive.
An act passed January 10, 1929, re.
CURED enumeration by the County asses
sprs in that year and every fourth year
the, eafler. An act Of March 20, 1871,
deolved the duty upon township instead
of C junty assessors. An act of January
%, 1919, require d the Governor to notify
the township assessors OF the duties thus
required of them; by proclamation, in
The year 1919, and every f.urth year
thereafter. The act Of FEBRUARY IL,
1851, repealed, by implication, the ac:s
of 1911 and lS49 relating to this matter,
but required The duty of enumeration
from the township assessors every fourth
year. An act of the General Assembly
just adjourned, passed April 4, 1859, re-
pals expressly the acts of 1911 and the
frs, section Of the act of l,29, bat en-
ipins again the duty Of enumeration upon
the township assessors.
The law, therefore, a. il now stands,
dispenses with the G~Ivernor's proclamL-
tio' /; bu, requires the township assessors
oftle several townships 10 take all en-
umerltion as formerly, every fourth
year, Of all The white male inhabitants
OF lh-ir respective township, over the
eye of II years, and make return thereof
to the Clerk of the Court of Common
OIL or before The third Monday of
May in such year. The FOURTH TEAR is
THIS YEAR: and the township ass $50 S
should govern themselves accordingly.
II may be well TO add here, that no

purposes is now required; the section of
the acts formerly passed. which provided

State Auditor.

Among our exchanges We find the
following notices Of the name of our
fellow citizen, Charles R. Hunt, ESQ.,, in
connection with the Office Of Auditor OF
State.
Where he is best knewn, he will be
most acceptable. The Toledo Blade
says.
STATE AupIToR.-Amongst the names
mentioned for Auditor of State we OBJ
serve that Of Charles R. Hunt, Esq,
Of Warren. Cheeriully can we second
what is said in favor of this gentleman.
He has just closed his second term as
Auditor of Trumbull county, which Office
he has filed with marked ability and to
the very general satisfaction Of the peo-
pie. His character is fully established
for integrity, and we feel satisfied that
he would so discharge the duties of the
Office in question as to confer more honor
upon the post than it would bestow re-
ward upon him. Amongst all the per-
sons mentioned there is none whom it
would give us greater pleasure to sup
port than Nr. Hunt.
The Mshoning Register Of March II.
has the following.
For STATE AUDIToR-We notice,
among the various Republican candi-
dates talked Of for State Auditor, the
name of Charles r. Hunt, of Warren.
No better man could be found for the
place. He has Just closed his second
term as Auditor of Trumbull County,
and %retires from that post backed with
the unanimous commentator of all who
know him. His tried integrity and su
peior business qualities eminently fit him
for the Office of State Auditor. while his
earnest labors in the cause of Republi-
canism Justly entitle him to the consider
alton OF The party throughout the State.
The Conneaut Reporter OF the 14ih,
inst. says.
STATE OFFICERS The approaching !
State Convention will be the
most importent held for some years. A
Governor. Lieut.. Governor, Auditor, Su
preme Judge and Secretary of State are
among the officers TO be elected. Many
good men have been mentioned for The
posts /; and our object now is not
% signify a preference for any of these
men, but to express our qualification at
he indications that our best and ablest
men are to be brought u as candidates.
those nominations we notice Mr..
Charles r. Hunt. of Warren, is spoken
IF for Auditor. Mr.. Hunt, is %favorably
in Northen Ohio, and none more
worthy can be named.

purchase IS. 600 in counterfeit money Of
some CircIeville sharpers for 5000. and
subsequently, discovered as reported that
he had enptied his purse for a bcx Of

that some of his neighbors were interes-
ted with him in the purchase, and not
believing that he had been cheated. sued
him for the money they had contributed,
