Preliminary Examination before
Uunaanna INITIAL


Some time since we noticed the fact that
Wallace Bennett and Jacob Houston had a
preliminary examination before Justice
Meeker, of this city, on the charge of hav-
lag committed an assault and battery on
Peter Harrington, Postmaster at Alton in
this county, the result iof which was that
they were held to bail to answer the charge
In the Court of Common Pleas. Both de-
PENDANTS have been since surrendered by
their bail, and committed by order of the
Court to the county Jail to await the action
of the Court In their case.
Recently Houston, one of the above de-
PENDANTS, made an affidavit, had warrant
issued, and Mr., Harrington arrested for an
alleged assault and battery, connected with
the same affair for which Bennett and
Houston had been held to bail. Mr.. Har-
rington's preliminary examination on this
charge took place on Friday last before
Samuel Gulck, Esq, the newly elected and
commissioned Justice of the Peace for this
township, whose office is in the Buckeye
Block over Mains grocery store-entranCe
from High street-where he may be found,
at all times during business hours, by per-
sons seeking to have their rights vindicat-
ed or their wrongs righted, ready to ad-
minister Justice according 10 the law and
the testimony, and to transact any business
and discharge any duty pertaining to his
official position.
, On the preliminary examination vigorous
efforts were made by the prosecution to sus-
tain the charge of assault and battery, and
by the defense to refute it. Lawyers were
engaged in the management of the case,
and some twenty-five witnesses were ex-
amined. After hearing and duly weighing
the testimony and the arguments advanced
pro and con, Justice Gulick came to the
conclusion that there was not sufficient
cause shown for holding Mr.. Harrington
over to answer the charge, and he was dis
charged accordingly.

Juvenile Thieves.

Marshal Murphy informs US that he has
In his possession pocket dial and small
compass fastened together, which the own
er can have on application to him. This
article was taken from couple of small
boys-one eight or nine, and the other ten
or eleven years of age-who confessed the
larceny of several other articles, most of
which of much value have been recovered
and restored to the proper owners. Among
these were watch stolen some time since
from the Mayors Office, and revolver re-
Gently stolen from DR.. Loving's office. Sew
eral toys and articles of trifing value they
had hid in the yard in the rear of the
Second Presbyterian Church, near the.
Gwynne block, where they were found.
These very juvenile offenders should be
sent to the Reform School Farm or some
other place of refuge and reform.

The Matter E.nInIned

1t troubled the Rev. Mr.. GADDIs ex-
ceedingly last winter to know why it was
that DoN PIATT was sent to the Legislature.
DoN is the editor Of the Mdck-a-cheek Press,
and in the last issue Of that journal he
speaks of himself as "a member of State
Legislature" and gives his readers to un-
derstand how it was that he came to be
elected to that distinguished body. These
are his words:
"When man enters upon the pursuit OF
politics, the discriminating public weigh
him carefully, and If he is proved unfit for
the Office of County Commissioner he Is in
continently sent to the Legislature, and
there he sprouts like potato in a dark
cellar"
That will satisfy the Rev. Mr.. GADDIs,
and the public will recognize in 1t an adj
mirable pen and ink photograph of Don
PIATT, i

Opera Mouse sooK BInderY.

Our old friends, Messrs. Siebert & Lilley,
having an eye to business and enterprise,
have purchased the book bindery of NJ. c.
Lilley & Co., and removed it to their place
Of business in the Opera House. Messrs.
NJ. G Lilley & Co. remain at the old stand,
where they publish the "Odd Fellows Com
panion," but do not carry on the business
of book binding.
The Opera House Book Bindery, with
this addition, surpasses any similar estab-
lishment ever had in this city, and their
fIcility for doing business in their line will
enable them to execute orders with dis
patch. Those in want of binding, blank
books, etc., will find it to their advantage
to call upon Messrs. Siebert & Lilley, where
they can obtain just what they desire.

The FORMAL.

+ On Saturday morning, the Columbus
Morning Journal came out in new dress
and in the quartO form. The copies we
have seen presented blurred appearance,
which, of course, was not calculated to
show it off to advantage. Its politics are
also blurred, which do not take well in
this community, as is evident from its de-
claration that 1t has larger circulation in
the city ard county than any other journal
in it. Latterly the Democratic party has
been growing exceedingly in this city. 1t
must then be because of the large circula-
tion of the Journal that it has grown so.

Executive UsurPatiOn Under Pres
ident Lincoln.

1t has been contended by nearly all Of
the Republicans that President LINCOLN
was not in his day guilty Of Executive
usurpation. There were very many Demo-
Gratis who thought he was; but when they
spoke Of it in the presence Of Republicans
they were answered with the accusation
that they were at heart disloyal, and SYM
pathized with "the Rebels" The Mdc-a-
cheek Press of the 18th, the editor of which
is, what he delights to call himself-a "hot
gospeler p" in the Republican party, gives
his readers to understand there was Execu-
tive usurpation by President LINCOLN.
This is what it says on that subject:
ave fought under Lincoln as earnestly
against Executive usurpation as We now do
under johnson. We indOrsed and circu-
lated the Davis Wade protest, and lifted up
our voice at all hours in opposition to that
cowardly, bad man of the State Depart
ment."

An Up.et and Nobodv Hurt

On last Saturday afternoon, as the West
erville and Sunbury Stage, heavily freight
ed with humanity, as well as trunks, boxes
and various other articles, was passing the
corner of High and Long streets, near Mil
lers & Joyce's Block, itupsetan landed its
precious load upon the sidewalk. There
were several ladies inside the vehicle who
took it very cool, one of them remarking
that it was the first time she had been bur-
fed alive, and she was glad that it proved
only ajolkel No person was hurt-but the
way crinoline and bandboxes suffered was
q caution. The stage was soon righted;
the passengers resumed their seats and
started on their journey forward to tell
their friends of their narrow escapes and
perilous adventures in the Capital City.

Dedication of the Catholic Church in
London,

There was large number of people in
attendance to witness the dedication OF
st. Patrick's (Catholic) Church, at London,
in the adjoining county of Madison, yester-
day. Extra trains arrived from Columbus,
Springfield and Xenia, and many other Wis
itors came in carriages, wagons and on
horseback. The Columbus delegation was
accompanied by band of excellent music,
and the choir of st. Patrick's Church, un-
der the direction of Prof. Nothnagle.
Among the Church dignitaries present
were Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnat;
Father Fitzgerald, of Columbus Father
Thisse, of Springfield ; Father Conway, OF
London; and Prof. Rictker, Professor of
Dogmatic Theology, of Mt. st. Mary. The
dedication ceremonies were conducted by
the Archbishop, and were solemn and i'm
pressive.
The Church was crowded to its utmost
capacity, but still was unable to accommo-
date more than one-third of the multitude
present, the number being estimated at be-
tween three and four thousand.
The Church is constructed of brick, and
was built under the superintendent of Mr.,
Michael Harding, of this city, and is hand
somely finished inside, being decorated
with stained glass windows and arched
ceiling in stucco finish, the workmanship
of Mr.. William Gulick, also of this city. 1t
will comfortably seat between one thousand
and twelve hundred persons. This Church
was built chiefly by subscriptions collected
during the past year through the personal
exertions of Father Conway, popular and
energetic young priest, who is an honor to
his calling.

Arrest for Forgery and Escape of the
RFiaOneF.

Prisoner.
Recently it was discovered that resi-
dent of town in the southern part of this
county had been in the habit of obtaining
goods at two or three large grocery stores
in this city by means of orders for small
amounts, to which the forged signature of
awell known and responsible citizen of the
former place was attached. The forged Or
ders called for groceries, generally from
$40 to $l5worth. Some half dozen of them
were taken to Justice of the Peace in the
city, who, upon the proper affidavit having
been filed, issued a warrant for the arrest
of the alleged forger and had it placed 10
the hands of Constable.
The Constable proceeded to the domicil
OF the confidence man, arrested and brought
him to the city, and took him to grocery
establishment on High street, where he was
identified as the person who had passed
the forged orders there. AS matters were
not quite in trim for the preliminary ex-
animation, the Constable took his charge to
the county Jail to have him locked up for
safe-keeping till the preliminary examina-
tion should take place. The Constable and
his prisoner entered the Sheriff's Office to-
gether; but while the Constable's atten-
ton was diverted for moment in another
direction, out stepped his prisoner at the
open front door. He made his way home-
ward; but probably in such a zigzag course
that the Constable failed to trace him. At
all events, the fugitive breakfasted with his
family the next morning.
We understand that measures were i'm
mediately taken for the rearrest of the al
legged forger but whether they have yet been
crowned wit success we are not advised.

Massachusetts, has carried Negro Suf-
irage to its logical conclusion by electing
two Negroes TO her State Legislature. The
privilege Of voting and the privilege Of
bsing voted for are twin. 1t is mocklng
truth TO Gay that men are entitled to vote
as matter Of right, and yet should not be
voted for for any office. The moment that
by legislation 1t Is declared that the Negroes
shall vote, that moment are they INVESTED
with the right of being voted for. That
Democrats who have so much Of a partiality
for their own race as to claim that this Gov
ernment was founded by White men to be
controlled and directed by White men,
should enter protest against the example
set'by Massachusetts, In electing Negroes to
her State Legislature, is natural; but that
"hot gospelers" in the Republican party,
who profess the belief that Negroes should,
as matter Of right, be allowed to vote,
should interpose objections to their be-
coming ofiice-holders, seems strangely
singular. The Mac-a-cheek Press Is one
which avows this faith. 1t declares itself
earnestly desirous to extend the right of
suffrage to the Negro, because" it "believes
It Is his right; that 1t is right pertaining
to every citizen" But there it wants to stop,
and It calls down the breaks in this
style: "But when 1t comes to filling
the Offices, that Is question Of
brain, and is no mans right" This is as
much as to say that the Negro has no
brain. Ifhe has no brain, then, unquestiona-
bly, he should not be allowed to vote. The
theory of our Government is that voting,
as well as holding Office, sis question of
BRAIN" The Mdc-a-cheek testifes that:
yesterday these men (the Negroes)
were slaves, bending In weak submission
to the whip OF the master. To-day we
make them citizens. This is the right Of
every one, however humble, ignorant or
simple. But to rush them into Office Is to
make our cause ridiculous, and drive from
Its support many right-thinking, good
hearted men," -
If by reason of the destitution of brain
and but yesterdays emergence from the
condition of slavery, the putting of Ne
groes into office is calculated to make the
''cause" OF the Republican party ''ridicu-
lous," there must be great bluntness in the
perception that should fail to discover that
the making Of voters out OF these braiuless
and just emancipated persons would make
the 'cause" Of the Republican party almost
equally ridiculous"

me ONLY saIvatIon for NIaryInnd

Republican editors and politicians de-
clare that the only salvation for "the loyal
men of Maryland" since, despite the
scheming and planning Of Radicals, she
polled triumphant majority at the recent
election, is to make voters out of the Ne
groes. There were not as many votes polled
in Baltimore at the recent election as were
polled in 1864, when the Republicans car
ried the city. The Republican vote fell off
and the Conservative vote increased suf-
ficiently to throw the Radicals into mi
nority. 1t was Radicalism and not the
"Rebels" or their sympathizers that worked
the defeat of the Republicans in Baltimore
city and Maryland.
