THE COUNTY TICKET

Put in nomination by the Unionists of San
dusky County last Saturday is composed Of
good, competent and faithful men.
The reorganization of JUICE RUSSELL. was gen.
orally looked for, as he has occupied the place
but one term, has given universal satisfaction
and has made himself generally esteemed and
popular, by his fairness, attention TO business
and urbanity Of manner.
Mr.. JoHs LYNCH is man of excellent quali-
ications for the Office of Clerk, TO which he is
nominated, and will make good run. Al
though son of the Green Isle of Erin, and a
lover of his native land, he is also true Ameri-
can in principle.
Our candidate for Commissioners is the pres
ent encumbent, Mr.. o. G.SAEFoRD, of Townsend,
than whom better or more efficient officer II
would indeed be difficult to find. His known
and acknowledged ability and integrity as q
Commissioner will win him hosts of votes.
Our candidate for Surveyor, MIR. ]. B. LOVE-
LAND. is peculiarly well qualified for that re-
sponsible trust and is every way an excellent
and reliable man.
The Office of Coroner, which it is always i'm
portsnt to fill with a sound, reliable man, was
accidentally omitted in the Conventions NOM
nations; but the omission was supplied by the
Central Committee, after careful consultation
by the nomination Of MICHAEL D. THIERwEoH'
yrR. Mr.. Thierwechter is a good citizen, an
upright man, and worthy representative of his
German extraction. What quite important, in
case of vacancy in the Office of Sheriff, he
would fill that place with signal ability.
SAMUEL SKINNER was re-nominated to the
office of Infrmary Director by acclamation.-
This endorsement of his peculiar fitness for the
place. was well merited. Mr.. Skinner will pol
the largest vote among those who know hin
best.
With this ticket, headed by Gen. Bucklant
,or Congress, the Union men of Sandusky Ough
to carry the county by a handsome majority
Whether they do this, depends solely on th'
question, Will they get out the full votef Shal
not every Union man be willing and glad to d'
his share In an election of such transcendent i'm
portauce as that before US this fall ?

To-day the Union men of this Congressional
District will, by their delegates in Convention,
select candidate to bear their banner through
the coming campaign, and represent them in
the Fortieth Congress. We do not hesitate to
express the earnest hope and expectation that
our present representative, General X. P. Buck
land, will be the choice of the convention at
the first ballot. We do not suppose that any
man in the District has especial claims TO a nom-
ination. The good of the public is the first
consideration, and individual interests must
stand aside, except in SO far as they coincide
with the general welfare. Fortunately, we be-
lieve that in the present instance the public
good will be best consulted by the denomination
of faithful public servant, and thus even the
appearance of injustice to any will be avoided.
We believe that General Buckland has faith
fully and conscientiously represented the aver
age sentiment of the Ninth District in the pres
ent Congress, and that he will do this with the
same fidelity and increased efficiency in the
next. The experience he has gained in the re-
cent long and historic session will be a power
| in his hands to be used in the future, and the
position which his substantial merits have Civ
en- him in the present Congress will render him
one of the foremost members of the coming
one.
General Buckland is not an extremist nor
would we have him such. 1t took him longer
than it did some of his constituents to realize
and denounce the apOstscy of the President
He still hoped and labored for a reconciliation
between Congress and the President when
many at home saw, or thought they saw, the
utter hopelessness of the task. Like Governor
Dennison, he realized the vast importance to
the Union party and the country of retaining
the executive on the side of the right if such a
thing were possible, and to this end he labored,
but when it became evident that Mr.. johnson
had hopelessly departed and was thoroughly
joined to the country's enemies, none were
more prompt or decided in their reputation Of
him than was Gen. Buckland. His votes have,
with unvarying fidelity, been recorded on the
right side of every question-as his District
sees the right. He has faithfully looked after
the local interests of his constituents, the hum
blest as well as the most influential.
We believe, if nominated, he will be triumph
antly elected over his townsman, the faithful
| disciple of Mr.. Vallandigham.

On Saturday last the 80 called democratic
convention met in Fremont and nominated q
county ticket. That is, they announced one;
for it was made beforehand by the junta which
rules the democracy of Saudusky county. Mr..
Finefrock is running for Congress and so per-
force thought he ought to have right to fix up
the county ticket to suit himself 1t is an old
trick of his, they say. So he went into The
blrgain and sale business with due activity, and
succeeded in securing the nomination Of his
men.
Some years ago Mr.. Fiunefrock had defeated
Fem Dickinsons nomination TO Congress. SO
now some arrangement must be made TO pre-
vent Mr.. Dis returning The compliment. Mr..
Finefrock proposed the Probate Judgship. The
thing was arranged, aud Mr.. F. quietly went
to work to pack the Convention. Either Mr..
Smith or Mr. Wilmer, after this arrangement,
stood about as much chance of being nominated
at their Convention, as Union man would
have done; though their friends had been assur-
ed their chances were excellent and tLat Mr..
Finefrock was the special advocate and friend
| Of each.
So with the clerkship. The friends of each
of the defeated candidates were told that Mr..
Finefrock was his ardent champion, and would
secure his nomination. But in fact he was
pledged otherwise. On one side, he volunteered
positive assurances to certain persons that Mr..
Men anara should rot be nominated. He did
this in hopes to secure the vote of those opposed
to Mr. NJ. for himself On the other hand, in
order to insure DicknsOn's nomination, he con-
sidered it polite to slaughter Capt. Putnam
and go for Gephart, the least qualified of the
three Candidates proposed.
In fixing up his ticket, Mr. +. evinced, in its
location. the scope of his vision. That gentle
| man himself resides in Ballville. Two other
of his candidates enjoy the same felicity. He
seems to think he is proprietor of that Town
ship, and probably meditates enacting bill in
Congress removing the Court House to a lot ad-
joining his garden, when he shall have secured
a seat at Washington. But though he should
take an oath to do this those who prefer TO leave
the Court House where it is for the present, have
no fear if it is not removed till Mr.. F. is elected
to Congress. A copperhead of the ultra VAL
landigham School, who repeatedly expressed
himself in sympathy with the rebellion, and
hoped the carcasses of Union soldiers would
cover the whole South who talked of resist
ance to the draft and was a member of the Sc
.ret rebel organization known as Sons of Lib
erty-that sort of man cannot go to Congress
from the 9th Congressional District of Ohio
| never,
We trust that Union men in every part o.
the county will do their whole duty this Fall
and thus defeat all this political trickery, Sc
cure the election of a good Union ticket and
prove what is iu fact true that we have decid.
ed Union majority in Sandusky county.

OUTRAGEOUS ATTACK ON SOLDIERS

On the 10th inst. a Soldiers and Sailors
Convention was in Harrisburg, Pa. The extra
train on which they returned home was fired
upon in the night at York, by party ofcop-
psrheads. The telegraphic account of the affair
is as follows:
The train was moving off when the soldiers
in the open gondolas were attacked by party
secreted in corn field, whence came discharges
from fire arms, stones and other missiles. Half
dozen soldiers were badly bruised about the
head, and one was shot in the leg. Several
shots were also fired at the closed car, in which
were Governor Curtin, General Geary and the
ladies and children of the party.
OF course the ladies were much frightened
and their screams were heard by the boys on
board, who caused the train to be stopped, and
went back after the attacking party who imme-
diately fed in all directions.
special policeman, appointed by the Demo-
cratic authorities of York, is said to have fired
several shots.

The cops are bowling against Congress for
voting itself increase compensation. IL did
vote to increase the regular salary by $4,000,
and at the same time TO diminish the mileage
Of members by nearly an equal amount The
average increase per month is not far from $lOO
But even this increase was opposed by ma
;oritv of Union members. So the cops merit the
odium ofthe increased compensation. The ma
,oritv of Union members, and among them our
own representative, favored much greater re-
5oct;ou of mileage, so as to make the total conf
,,ansstiou of members less than heretofOre.-

rebels are willing to yield little for present

and nearly all favor unconditional and imme.
