H Ohio is pretty well represent

H Ohio is pretty well represent
ed in the several departments at
Washington, by clerks from various
portions of the State. These gen
tlemen were very anxious to obtain
an increase of their salaries during
the last session of Congress. Sena-
tor Sherman, as the chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, declined
to bring In bill to OBJECT this end.
He very Justly presumed that if the
private soldier could endure the IA
tigues of camp life with its hazards
for the magnificent sum of Sl6 per
month, these stay home gentle
men might afford to get along with
from s1OO to $3.50 per month. We
are informed that these gentlemen
are now laying the wires to defeat
Sherman's re- election by the next
Legislature. For this purpose they
are organizing to influence the fall
election in Ohio, by electin9 men,
bers of the Legislature against Sher-
man, and in favor of Schenek.
So it seems the Senator who
thought best to economize in these
extravagant times, is to be sacrificed
at the will of these patriotic clerks.
We think the people will have some
thing to say on this question. The
tax payers will appreciate the disin-
terestedness of these Washington
CITY gents, and be quite likely to de-
feat a worthy representative who had
the courage and honesty to place
himself on record, squarely against
taking the money out of the people, s
earnings to Gil the pockets of a set
of men who are as well paid at least,
as vast proportion of those from
whom their increased pay would
have to come. In this section of
country, Senator Sherman is little
too firmly grounded in the good will
of the honest loyal portion of the
people, to suffer any loss from such
causes. His reelection will meet
their decided appreciation.

rE Miss Harris who shot Bur

HE Miss Harris who shot Bur
roughs at Washington, was tried by
a civil tribunal. The testimony as
TO her guilt was clear and conclusive.
The jury were out eight minutes and
returned verdictof not guilty. No
wonder copperheads are so anxious
TO have their rebel friends at Wash
ington, tried by civil court. A
Washington jury composed as II
would have been, of large proper
ton of copperheads, and rebels
would have acquitted Mrs. Surratt,
So too, would they acquit Mrs. Jeifer-
son Davis. Hence the anxiety oil
those gentlemen for the right of trial
by jury.

We hope this matter will be
promptly attended to in each town
ship, in order that the representation
may be full, and there may be no
cause of complaint. The offices to
be filed at this election are important,
and it is the duty and interest of
every good citizen to see that none
but loyal Union men are either nomi
mated or elected. Remember that
eternal vigilance is the price of Lib
erty" The enemy are always on the
alert: They are even now, quietly
organizing for the contest. They
have no hope unless in the division
of the Union party by running two or
more candidates for the same office.
just now they are warm in their
zeal for the brave soldier. They are
looking around for plant material OF
that kind, out oil which they can gel
up ticket that may entrap few 10y
al men. No true soldier can be
found who would accept copper
head nomination. Yet some vino
claim the name might be found to dc

Gen. Mcclellan found it, when toe
late. Let all therefore who can, GO
to these primary meetings. Have g
fair and tree understanding as to you
candidates. Lay all personal preju.
dices aside. Act only for the public
good, by giving us a good ticket
and then wait for the great rerdic,
of the people on the I'd Tuesday oil

E A thief by name OF
johnson, who has been confined in
our Jail for some months, made his
escape on Thursday last, by digging
under the wall. No efforts that we
are advised of, have been made to
re capture him. 1t requires consid-
erably mere strategy TO get a man
into jail these days, than the man
need exercise to get out. After all,
we presume society has not lost much,
by johnson regaining his liberty
Horse-thieYes are not the most dan

community. When men, who for
years past, have made common cause
with murderers, horse thieves and
assassins Of the South, are allowed
to mingie in society and assume

poor horse-thief might be added to
the number, without materially af-
