Familiar Proverbs.

Shakespeare has been largely qGoted in
the political contest, and we think poor
Richard should have a chance to express his
opinion, together with other ancient makers
of proverbs, s'First come, first served, ," ap-
plies to Father Abraham who has ever be-
lieved that "Honesty is the best policy. -
The Democratic aspirants who were mad
for office and official plunder, took up Doug
las, believing that it was "Better to ride an
ass that carries us, than horse that throws
US" but "Pride goeth before fall, " and
they will find tomorrow that "a miss is as
good as a mile" Douglas ''gur-reat pur-
rinciple'' is to ''Put money in thy purse" Z"
but he viii fnd that "A rolling stone gathers
no moss" and that ''The pitcher that goes
often to the well gets broken at last" He
has not needed the warning to "avoid edged
tools" and the axe of Old Abe will "trim his
sails for him and "Give the Devil his due. %
Those who have courted and fawned upon
him should remember that 'Life at Court is
often the short cut to He'll" and that though
oman proposes, God disposes." The Repub-
lican party have been out in the cold hereto
fore, but 'Rome was not built in a day
and Everything comes in time to him that
can watt They must remember that
"Procrastination is the thief of time" and
vote early, "Pro bono PubIico." When they
are fairly in power the Democrats will find
that claws were made for rogues, and they
must "Clear the track" "Let US then be up
and doing" and ''we may be happy yeti in
shouting ''E Pluribus Unum" and ''Yankeg

CLEVELAND, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER g. 1860

better be imaginedthan expressed, when their
Report (Which was made about six weeks af-
terward,) stated that the gross receipts did
not exceed $3.50. This, as a matter of course,
gave grounds to the suspicion that all was not
as il should be. ...-.H-
The company was informed, shortly alter
this Report, that the Captain had organized
and was drilling zouave Corps, Geo caIled).
At a meeting of the Light Guard, he was Sc.
verely 4censured for this conduct, as it had
been kept an entire secret from themembers,
with three or four exceptions, whom he could
rely upon to do his undetermined work, and
who proved themselves to be such by readi-
ly accepting his unmanly proposition.
While protesting friendship for the corps,
and pretending to be planning for their fu-
ture..success, he was secretly plotting to flch
from them the property they had labored
long and zealousIy to accumulate, as was
evident by his conduct on Tuesday evening
last, when he and his tools stealthily entered
our armory between the hours Of II and 2
o'clock, ard carried away nearly all our
movable property, and seereted it in differ
ent parts of the town and country, and to
crown the infamous act, added insult to in
jury, by conniving at, or actually tying
Grape on the lock Of the armory door.
Byadvice Of our counsel the articles were
replevined, and while in the hands Of the
officer he expressed willingness to forfeit
all claims, provided he could be released
from the Indebtedness, which was acceded
to in the following manner. that the proper
ty should remain in the handsof a third par
ty until we could. have all claims against
him transferred to the corps, and that we
would secure the parties holding them by
chattel mortgage. He would not aceede to
this unless we would indemnify him from all
possible loss, by giving him bonds to the
amount of 81, 800. This ofeourse was refused,
as we could not, and do not believe that if our
money has been properly appropriated, we
can possibly have that amount Of indebted
ness. Our Financial Secretary, contrary to
the laws of the corps, having delivered the
books, papers, and accounts of the company
into his possession, we could not tell what
our Indebtedness really was.
BY advice of our counsel, we allowed the
property to pass back into his hands, with the
intention of seizing it as soon as it was out
of the constabIe's possession, havinga right,
of course, TO take our property wherever it
could be found, without committing trespass.
No disturbance was intended or created on
our part, nor was there any act commit
ted by any member of the corps, discredita-
Bile to any law abiding citizen. The proper
ty was taken by US and held until the Off
GERS interfered, and insisted that it had not
been properly delivered, when it was at
once surrendered, not wishing to resist Off
GERS in the discharge of their duty.

WEAR AND TEAR OF Car WHEELs.-An ex-
animation made last year, on the Read
ing Railroad, in England, showed that, OF
all the wheels in use on all descriptions Of
cars since 1852, the average wear had been
that of 5s,Os4 miles before the wheels were
renewed. The life osthe wheels under pas
senger cars was ascertained to be 7,7O6
miles, fact which shows not only the su-
periority of the wheels used under passenger
cars, as compared with those under freight
and coal cars, but also of good snrings-thOse
under the passenger cars being much the
easiest on the road. The coal trains have
been run at from to Is miles per hour; the
passenger trains at from 25 to 40 miles. The
results, as to wear, were carefully ascertain
ed, and are of value to other Railroad ComPa-

CAPT. CHAMBRRLAIN:-I wish TO present to
the Sixth Ward Wide Awakes, through you,
this flag. II is the flag Of the American
Unisn. Il is so recognized wherever it is
unfurled, commanding the respect Of all ma

Mr.. VAN TYSE:-In behalf Of the Wide
Awake Club Of the Sixth Ward, am deeply
gratifed for this benefcent present. Rest

cess of the great principles for which we are
battling, it shall never be lowered while
there is an arm in the Sixth Ward Club able
TO bear it aloft, and whether victory or de-
feat shall follow our efforts, it shall be borne
from the contest as pure and unstained as it
is tonight. Again, Sir, thank you in be-
half of the Club for your munifcent and
beautiful gift.

trouble Among the Light Guard.


On Saturday morning a large crowd col
lected in front of the store of Sanford <
Hayward on Superior street, being attracted
by disturbance that was in progress there,
the facts being, as near as we can ascertain,
as follows:
Capt Sanford, of the Light Guard, being,
as he alleges, involved heavily for goods in
the possession Of the Company-arms, uni
forms, &c.--One night last week, and under
advice Of his counsel, took these things from
the armory, and kept them as security. The
Company replevined them, but failed to give
the requisite bonds within twenty four hours,
for re-delivery, in case the suit should be
decided against them. Constable Whitney
therefore, on Saturday morning, took the ar
ticles to re-deliver to Capt. Sanford. While
doing this, the Guards gathered about, and
when, as they say, he had put them into
Capt. sanford's charge, they endeavored to
seize them. This was resisted by the Off
Ger, who claimed that they were still in his
hands as an officer of the law, and by Capt.
Sanford and one or two others. There waa a
lively prospect of riot for a few minutes,
and bayonets were wrenched of the guns
and held threateningly, but finally the mat
ter was compromised or allowed to rest for
the time, and the goods were left with Capt.
Sanford. This is the substance of the story.
Capt. Sanford claims that he was held liable
for heavy debts of the Company, and in this
way only could he secure himself. The
Company, on the other had, make charges
against him, as is shown in the following
card, which we publish at the request of the
i Cornpanv.

THE wIDR-AwAKEs.
First and Finh Enra Parade.

On Saturday evening the First Ward Wide
Awake Club assembled for parade by order
at the armory in the old Baptist Church,
They turned out 65 men, it being the first
parade. The uniform consists of black cape
and black fatigue cap, the uniform of the
officers being Of bright red. The evening
was one of the worst possible for torch
light parade, there being such high wind
as to render iteztremely difficult to keep the
torches alight.
The Club marched through Champlain,
Ontario, Prospect, Erie and Euclid streets,
to the Square, and thence through Ontario
and st. Clair to Erie, where they halted for
the Fifth Ward Wide7Awales, who we're to
join them. Upon the route cheers were
given at the. residences Of E. -Cowles of the
LEADER, ". J. Warner (whO had Lincoln
and Hamlin transPareney) and Mayor SEN
ter. .s e-lst.
The Fifth Ward Club. headed by the
Temperance Band, marched from their head
quarters upon St. Clair street to the residence
Of Jacob Hovey, where three cheers were
given. They then returned to St. Clair St.
and joined the First Ward Club, when the
twotook up the line of March for the West
Side.
Upon st. Clair street J. Boutall had some
fine transparencies and nlurninations in bis
windows, the cred, white and blue, +" shining
out with fhs effect. ~
The Clubs marched through Erie, Superior,
Merwin and Detroit streets to State, where
they halted at the residence Of Homer
Strong, who had barrel of sweet cider tc
refresh them. Itwas evidently satisfactory
to the Wide-Awakes and they drank it as il
they liked it. Cheers were given for Mr.
Strong and the march was resumed to the
Circle, where the West Side Companies un.
der comLrand Of Capt. Palmer were drawr
up ready to receive them.

WEST SIDE PARADE.

The West Side had turned out a large force
and looked finely. The combined procession
moved on then through Fulton, Lorain,
jersey Chatham, Columbus, Lorain, Hicks,
Bridge, to Pearl street. Here the Fourth
Ward Club who had arrived from the East
Side we're drawn up to receive them
Through all the route the streets and side
walks were crowded with spectators and ma
ny houses were Illuminated.
