The RIuT Game.

In the classic but uncertain game of
apoker," a player with a poor "hand
sometimes saves his pile by betting so
heavily that all the other players, suPpOs-
ing that he holds the strongest cards, re-
tire dismayed from the field. This man
ner of proceeding is, we believe, called
HblufIng.' 1t is, We are informed, only
resorted to in desperate cases, andis by no
means sure to win.
The Herald has evidently taken a les
son from the gamblers Of the Mississippi
In its last nights edition, in an article
announcing the withdrawal of General
veris, we find the following pleasing and
amusing example of the "bluf game
aThe withdrawal of Gen. voris is the
more creditabIe as his friends and the
friends of Judge Spalding believe the Gen
eral and the Judge would be the real COM
peting candidates in the Convention
There is something captivating in the
charming confidence with which the Her
aid man relies on the ignorance of his
readers in making this assertion. There
is something quite amusing, too, in the
style
with which he puffs the Yoris men. We
presume that the Voris men-if there are
sny-are expected to return the oOmpli-
msnt by putting the Spalding-Senter
clique. Meantime the Herald which has
been expanding all its ammunition for
weeks against the friends of Mr.. Parsons
with hardly 8 line in its paper to indicate
The existence of General Voris, now tries
the bluff game by e%ndeavoring to ignore
the fact that Mr.. Parsons Is the leading
candidate before the people. No surer
proof can exist that the Rerald'e game is
desperate one But the 'blufT dodge
hiss been resorted to too late in the day.
Il will deceive nobody.

LORAIN COUNTY

From the Elyria Democrat:
The wool-growers' Association, at their
last meeting, passed the following resolu-
tons:
ResoIUed, That in view of the manner
in which the w~ool-dealers are discrimina-
ting in buying wool, the wool growers
have no encouragement in putting up
their wool in a clean and light manner
RESOLVED, That the price being paid for
woods in this county, does not Justify US
in encouraging the sale of wool at the
present time.
From the Oberlin Ncl0s;
We are told that a large number of tho
sheep that died in last weeks storm, lie in
the fields unburied. The decaying car
cases of thirty thousand sheep, or half
that number, would poison every healthy
breath of air in the county.
J. w. Worcester, Esq, of Pittsfeld had
some thirty or forty fleeces of fine wool
stolen from his barn on Tuesday night of
last week. He offers fifty dollars for the
detection of the thief, whether the wool is
recovered or not.
Sunday night last the gun shop of o.
NJ. Stroup, in Wilmington, was entered
by cutting through the back door, and
several r%evolvers and other things taken
out. His loss is sixty or seventy dollars.

those who are opposed to the return of
Judge Spalding to Congress for a third
some whose first choice would be
some other man than Mr.. Parsons. We
appeal to all these gentlemen to throw
aside their individual preferences and
unite Oh one man. Judge SpGlding ought
not to Be returned to Congress. We fully
believe this; we are sure that a large ma
iority Of the Union voters Of the District
believed it. We call upon that Union msjor-
ity not TO waste their strength and allow the
election of Mr.. Spalding by divisions as
10 candidates Such divisions may cause
the defeat of Mr.. Parsons: but if the
contest is made fairly between Mr.. Par
sons and Judge Spalding, as in all proba-
biiity it will be, with no third candidate
to distract the choice of our Union men,
we havs no doubt Of the triumphant sue.

that we rejoice at Mr. Voris' withdrawal

TRUMBULL COUNTY.
The Warren Chronicle says /:

Inc Arren CATOntCte says
The fall of rain on last Saturday evening
and night was exceedingly heavy. Many
residences were found not waterproof,
and the rain being driven by a violent
wind, penetrated from cellar to garnet,
doing IN some instances much damage to
carpets, furniture, &c The Mahoning
river commenced rising Sunday morning,
ard in the evening of that day the water
had risen over the lower banks, and spread
over the bottom lands, sweeping OF fences,
trees, and nameless quantities Of drift
wood. The flats on the west side, between
the river and Quinby Hill, and also south
of town, were submerged several feet,
and the residents in the locality of Gorton
& Co.'S spoke factory, were all cut off
from the main land by torrents Of water
that swept all around them. The dam
age must have been considerable, but at
this writing, Monday we Il not learn
the probable extent. We learn hat the
country roads, by the destruction of
bridges and sluice ways, are generally in
bad condition.

Justice to German Republican,.

The German Republicans OF TINS DIS
trict constitute an important and indis-
pensable portion of the party. 1t is a
fact not generally known, but well worth
attention, that while bit SO per cent. of
the population of this city is native BORN
30 DER cent. is of German birth. Seven
eighths of these German American citi-
zens are radical Unionists. Trained by
years Of sacrifice and suffering under
monarchical governments to appreciate
the value and beauty of Republican insti-
buttons, they nave cone to this country
with an enlightened and discriminating
but zealous love for Freedom and Equal
Rights. They have with singular uns-
nimity espoused the cause of the Union
party. This noble band Of Republican
Germans-to whom the word "republi-
can is more than a party name, to whom
it is the object of life long devotion
and the very essence of sacred princi-
ples-deserve well of the party
TO which they have adhered with such
fidelity. If we put it on the very lowest
ground, the Union party cannot afford to
disregard or insultth German element in
our party. Without the German vote We
could not carry the city, and hardly a
ward in the city. Had it not been for
the German vote, George w. Morgan
would be Governor of Ohio to-day, in
stead of J. D. Cox. It is to the Germans
that the Union party owe its ascendsncy
to-day, in State and city. To fnsuitthemr
to drive them away from US, TO weaken
their confidence in us, would be the Wild
est folly and the rankest ingratitude.
OF such an insult has Mr.. Spalding been
guilty, and the Unionists of the district
will assume the responsibility of that in
suit if they permit that gentleman to be
r~enominated.. By the removal Of Mr..
Thieme,the editor Of the Waechter am Eric,
Daaz--As-
TO make o for his own brother-in-law
in a good office, Judge Spalding was
guilty Of a deliberate insult TO our Ger
man population. 1t was one Of those
blunders which are worse than crimes.
Mr.. Theme, by his position as editor of d
leading radical German paper, which he
had built up by his own efforts until ]:
nosssssed a wide and beneficial in
fuence among the Germans Of the
State, and by his labors for twelve years
as a speaker and worker in the ranks Of
the Republican party, has become a re-
preventative man. His appointment was
a scauty recognition of the services OF
Germans for the Union party. And his
removal without cause was not only a
wrong to an excellent gentleman and Il
faithful oficer,-it was a deliberate insult
10 the Germans of this city and district
These Germans, though they have labOred
long and faithfully for the party, have
not been greedy for office. They have
asked little and received little They
hold very few places of power or profit in
the gift of tho Union party Nor are they
Disconnected. They do not ask for more
They only beseech their native-bOrn Re
publican friends not to thrust down then
throats the denomination Of a MAI who
has put upon them this studied and de-
liberste insult. Do they ask too much?
The Republicans Of this District will
answer in the Convention of July 10th.

and wife against Robert Whiteacre for
the SANDER of Mrs. Todd has been on trial
in Columbiana Common Pleas Court for
the last ten days, and during all that time
the most intense interest was manifested
by the large audience. Mr.. Todd is the
Presbyterian pastor of New Lisbon, his
congregation comprising some of the most
respectable and influential citizens of the
county. The defendant, a member of his
church, had made grcss charges against
the chastity of Mrs. Todd, and produced
witnesses on the stand TO prove acts Of
improperly in her. The cross examina-
ton was conducted by Mr.. McSWeeney,
of Wooster, Ohio. Judge Potter opened
the case in argument for the plaintif-the
defence refused to argue-this cut of Mr..
insolvency from making the closing ar
gument. The jury retired under the able
charge of Judge Amber, and returned a
verdict of taco thousand IRE hundred DOT
lars-thus vindicating the character Of
Mrs. Todd as a lady, and placing the seal
of condemnation on her tradueers. Some
Of the jury insisted for a long time on re-
tnrning a verdict of ten thousand dollars.
Judge Potter, of Salem, J. II. Wallace, of
New Lisbon and John McSweeney, of

defence was represented by Judge Belden
