As we shall probably have, in future, in
he neighborhood of twenty-five per century
o add to the catalogue of our Ex-Presidents.
The time will come when, to belong to SO nu-
nerous body of has-beens will not be much
If distinction. They, who are struggling
20 vigorously to enroll themselves there in the
lope of immortality, will soon be lost in the
rowd by which they are surrounded, and be
10 more scparable from the mass, in the
minds of men, than the trees on distant
mountain are to their vision. Indeed, under
common title-our Ex-Presidents-they
will be less individually distinguishable than
{ they had never enjoyed dignity so tran
itory, and so inconclusive in respect to per
'onal qualifications. The enormous expendi-
ures of labor and words and money--thc
ortunes sunk in electioneering, the costly
entertainments, and the thousand means en-
ployed to catch the eyes and ears of the pop
llace, how senseless they appear in the light
If the possibility that they may serve but to
'ender their employers all the more readily
overlooked and forgotten.

THERE appears to be general impression
that the building at the northwest corner Of
Third and Main-streets is insecure. The Oc-
tasion of this is the apparent iuadequacy of
the pillars upon which it rests to sustain the
weight of the superstructure. For the sake
of the public and the occupants, as well as
that of the proprietors, an examination ought
to be had, and the result made known. If
the edifce is unsafe it ought to be abandoned
Immediately and pulled down, for its fall, by
the side of thoroughfare so frequently
crowded, might be very destructive to life.
This is matter which is within the province
OF the municipal authorities, and to relieve
the present feeling of distrust, if nothing
else, they should act promptly and faithfully
in the premises.

The Pest-HOuse LOt-symptOms Of Swim

The Pest-House Lot-symptoms Of n Swim
dle,
Il will perhaps be remembered by q few
that when we, the people of Cincinnati, had
the lung fever-that is to say, when II was
thought impossible to respire clearly until
breathing places for the million" had been
provided at the public expense-when, in
short, the body polite, like an ogre turned
its hands toward the resting places Of the
dead, in search of fresh air, the "Pest-house
lot" as II was called-perhaps from its pest
ilential aspect-was solemnly dedicated to
the public use, as one Of the reservoirs of
that article, which, it was imagined, could
no where he found in perfectly pure and
wholesome state except upon piece Of city
property.
The pest-house lot was resolved into a park
md, so far as resolutions would go, dedicated
% Hygea, lager-beer, Sunday promenades
md the elevation of the laboring classes.
We noticed, not long since, the presenta-
ton of resolution in the City Council to
appropriate five thousand dollars for block
ing the aforesaid pest-house lot: which, as we
understand it, meant to lay it out in lots, with
view to its ultimate sale and occupation as
private property. So far as the blocking and
'ale of the sickly-looking territory is con-
cerned, the movement is good one.
No sensible man who spends an hour
in any one of our breathing places"
will deny that the best use to which
they could be put is to sell them at
i,ir prices to be improved. Private own
irship is imperatively demanded, to obliterate
.hc offensive testimony ofone ofthc mostdis-
.raceful of transactions to all parties con-
,erned.
The resolution was withdrawn; but its ap-
pearance indicates that there is a swindle in
preparation. Five dollars would pay reason
ably well for al the engineering necessary
to prepare the pest-house lot for sale. There
is something in the wind, and its premature
out-cropping is simply evidence of want of
the proper discipline. We shall see before
long what il means

The only transaction of consequence in the
Legislature on Monday was the passage in
the Senate of the General Appropriation Bill.
The bill provides for the issue Of bonds
payable In 1881, at a rate not exceeding six
per cent, payable semi-annually, to pay the
funded debt Of the State, due in December
next, ($6, 900, 000,) and to issue similar bonds
for the payment Of other State debts, pay
ment for which has not been otherwise pro-
vided for by law--all said bonds limited to
1881. "And the faith of the State is hereby
irrevocably pledged that the value of the GER
tifcates of the funded debt herein authorized
to be issued, shall in no wise be impaired or
diminished by any act of the Legislature or
other authorities Of this State.
2. Such bonds may be issued as domestic
debt, payable at Columbus, or as q foreign
debt, payable (interest and principa at New
York.
3. Interest on bonds issued as domestic
debt, payable semi-annually, February and
August Interest on foreign debt payable
on January and July l.
4. Commissioners toadvertise in New York,
and accept the highest bid-no proposal
under par to be accepted.
8. Proceeds applicable exclusively to the
redemption of the funded debt of the State
now existing--the temporal debt of 500, 900
authorized in 1868, excluded, being provided
for in q subsequent section.
6. Holders Of any Of the foreign debt may
exchange for certificates of the domestic debt
in an equal amount.
I. Prescribes the duties of Commissioners
in reference to books, etc., and directs them
to make semi-annual reports to the Governor,

the General Assembly.

ROBERT DALE OWEN and Horace Greeley are

taking the orthodox, and Robert Dale the lat

up for free-thinkers before they begin to think

The Legislature of New York has under
consideration general law for the organiza-
ton of Gas and Water Companies in cities.
This is in the right direction. There is no
reason why acts of incorporation should for
ever cut off competition in these essentials o.

giant institution, we had two or three pri,
vate companies to supply the city with water
we should have this necessary of life delivered
more cheaply and in much more fluid con
dition than it is at present.

ing Charleston as the place for holding the
Convention, was little like buying goods

troublesome in the consequences. There is

who will dare take the responsibility to
change the programme, with the secession o.
the palmetto State staring them in the face

It is not strange that honest men in Con-
grcss should earnestly labor to devise some
plan of disposing of the government printing
that will abolish the scramble for its spoils
which now disgraces the government. An
honest effort at this is the bill which Mr..
Gurley has introduced into the House, from
the Committee on Printing, to establish
Government Printng-housc. We doubt the
good policy of the plan, although some of the
best men in Congress favor it, We look upon
all such government institutions ms sure in
the end to become partisan machines, infirm-
aries for politicians, and camps for gathering
government employees to operate at the cleo
tions. Instead of increasing these, we would
abolish the government dock-yards, which
have become odious from being used in the
same way, and would have every mechanical
labor for the government done by contract.
We are unable to believe that, if honestly ad-
ministered by the officers in charge, the Con-
gressional printing can not be done by con-
tract and without honest officers, what
would the Government Printing-house be?
The reasons urged in its favor are, that it
creates no new officers but the foremen of the
printing and binding, the office of Superin-
tendent being already established; that the
present scramble for it is dsgraceful; that
the contracting system is exposed to combi-
nations among bidders, and has failed once;
hat the printing is an essential element of
.he law-making power, daily necessity, and
hat it is impracticable to job it out so as to
De done with necessary promptncss-all Of
which we do not regard as sufficient, al
hough good men in Congress do, and among
hem the author of this bill.

Deputy Marshal Seized, Beaten and hi
Head Shaved.
From tie Cincinnati ENQUIRER of The 22a.


About four months ago three slaves, brothers,
escaped from Messrs. Reed & Pollock, near Ger
mantown, Kentucky. 1t was subsequently aseer-
tanned that they had located near Iberia, Morrow
county, Ohio, and warrants were issued for their
arrest, and placed in the hands of the United
States Marshal for the Southern District. On Thurs
day the Marshal proceeded to the locality accom-
panied by two deputies and some eight or ten men,
and the negroes having separated, the posse di-
vided into three parties, the Marshal giving full in
structions to his deputies, who were men of nerve,
and their assistants, how to proceed.
Between and o'clock in the evening the Mar
shal himself seized the negro for whom he had re-
tanned the warrant and after walk of fourteen
miles placed him on board tile freight train, and
succeeded in reaching this city. An examination
was had before Commissioner Newhall, and his
identity being satisfactorily established, and the
fact of his escape being proven, he was remanded
to the custody Of his former master, and taken
across the river. So far so good.
But the deputies were not as successful as their
chief. Neither succeeded in securing their man,
and one of them was most inhumany treated.
Soon after showing his warrant he was set upon by
a crowd of negroes and white men, to the number
of sixty or seventy, part of whom were armed with
guns and pistols. The negro was liberated and
the person Of the deputy secured by his assaiants
His clothes were nearly torn off, and, amid shouts
and oaths, he was beaten with clubs to serve him,
as the crowd said "as they treat slaves at the
South" The warrant and all his money We're
taken from him, and the mob endeavored to hang
arms and placed him as q mark for the bullets OF
those armed with guns. The deputy begged them
to shoot him, rather than torture him as they had
done. Those who were armed were drawn up,
when the word was given" Make ready take
aim,' but, before the word q fire was given, some
Of the mob rushed in and begged them not to fire
The guns were dropped, and the deputy was libe.
rated from his uncomfortable position.
Not satisfied with the ndignity and pain already
inflicted knife was sent for, and the hair of the
officer was clipped close TO his scalp, and he wa:
then turned loose to make his way out of the neigh
borhood, which he did with all convenient haste.
The second deputy had also very serious TINT
in attempting TO serve his warrant, but we are no
as fully informed Of the particulars. number o.

officer attempted to arrest him, he was fred upon
The officer returned the charge, and shot off The

been shot, but we traced it to reliable authority
