Gov. Baker has recovered from his late
illness, and is now attending to the duties
OF the Executive Department.
The indianapolis Hero,d says that Mr..
pa,row. a type-setter of the Journal office,
challenges any printer in the State to a
trial of speed, for twelve hours work.
AT least one thousand singers are ex-
pecfed at indianapolis, on the occasion of
the great Sengerfest at Indianapolis.
Great preparations are being made for the
multitude that will visit the city on that
occasion.
The Commissioners of Adams County
offer standing reward of two hundred
dollars for the apprehension of horse
thieves. ga E e SCI
Tobias Ritter, of Adams County, got up
a story of hidden treasure, and coaxed
John Built to go with him and help dig it.
John went, and as soon as Tobins got him
in a secluded spot, he gave him tremen-
dous threshing.
In Washington County, a few days ago,
a woman named Williams was shot by her
sister, who Mrs. Williams accused OF being
too intimate with her husband. Mrs. Will
Iiams died shortly after. r
Governor Baker has accepted the invita-
ton of the Committee of Arrangements to
deliver the reception address upon the as
sembling OF the Sengerfest, on Tuesday,
September Sd, at Indianapolis.
We were shown, on Monday. a cucum-
Der, raised by Judge Moore. measuring
nineteen inches in diameter and thirteen
inches in circumference. This is the
largest we remember ever having seen.
Can any of our exchanges beat it?-Bo0n-
ciiie inquirer Local column. Fzs
That is surely remarkable cucumber
the diameter being greater than the cir
cumference is wonderful circumstance.
The indianapolis Herald says:
Tuesday morning, while John Bruce
was hunting squirrels about three miles
north of the city, his dog "treed' some
animal. While walking around to get
sight of it, Mr.. Bruce heard a rushing
sound and saw a large yellow animal
jump from the tree and run away with
great, cat-like leaps. He describes Il as
about the height of a large Newfoundland
dog, though longer and Simmer. Yester
day Mr.. Bruce was in the city, trying to
mate up party to hunt the beast, which
is supposed to be a panther-probably the
one which escaped from Van Amburgh's
menagerie the last time it was here" 4 s.

as soldier. And yet it would re-
quire very grave reasons. greater
emergency than the mere suspension
of Mr.. STANTON, to justify him in re-
fusing to discharge the duties of the
War Office for the interim until the
meeting of Congress. There is some
thing beyond the strict line, of sery-
ice as a soldier to be considered in
the relations between the Constitu-
tional Commander-in-C Chief and the
General of the Armies.
If General GRANT had refused to
accept the place, the President would
by no means have been thwarted in
his resolution to rid his Cabinet of
Mr.. STANTON. He could have called
some one of his willing tools like
ROUSSEAU or BLAIR, or SEYMOUR to
the position. We see the importance
of having GRANT in the War Office
when SHERIDAN is to be removed.
The Presidents order is executed,
but in such a manner that the good
work so vigorously commenced at
New Orleans goes on without inter-
ruption. How different might it have
been with an other in the Secretary's
Office. SO long as he remains there
the country will rest assured that the
cause of reconstruction will receive
no serious injury, if it can legally be
prevented.
We have regretted to see the at
tacks made upon General GRANT by
Republican newspapers because of
his present position. We do not
advocate his claims for the Presi-
dency, but do insist that his influence
with the loyal people of this country
shall not be weakened by unjust
assaults upon him, or by misrepre-
sensations of his true position. We
do not entertain any doubt of his en-
tire concurrence with Congress on
the question of Reconstruction, and
of his sympathy with the cardinal
principles of the Republican party.
Of this fact the leading men of the
party, who are not riding special hob
bies or actuated by malice or seeking
to promote personal ends, are
fully satisfied. We know that
Speaker CoLFAx, Senator MORTON,
and Governor BAKER, of our own
State, have the utmost confidence in |
his political soundness. He may not
be the proper man to lead the Repub-
lican hosts to victory In the next Ma
tional campaign. He certainly will
not be without full and complete
public endorsement Of the principles
of the party. But we do not regard
his present position as rejecting upon
his loyalty or honestyof purpose. He
as doing the countrya great service,
and attaching himself more strongly
to the people.

Touching impeachment Ale Herald
wishes TO inquire why Mr.. johnson
should be removed when the high
crimes and misdemeanors of which he
has been guilty have been q common
thing with all his predecessors IS par
lty leaders, from jackson down to
Pierce and Buchanan, to say nothing
of the lamcnted Lincoln. Ii seems \
little rough and uncharitable that Mr.
Johnson should be made tho frat vic
tim to the wrath of Congress, particu-
larly as = two.thirds vote against him
is secured to end his term, to follow
up his impeachment. The movement
would produce confusion in business
and needless delays in needed legisla-
tion. In all probability the Judiciary
committee will retain The subject until
the session is over, and the beginning
ofths next Congress will see the ratifi-
cation Of treaty Of peace between
that body and the President.
The Tribune remarks that nothing
is to be gained by impeachment. DIR.
Johnson has been a bad President, but
also q foolish one. 1.-The has been the
enemy Of Republication, he has also
been I'm enemy to himself, and the
elections left him politically dead
Nor would impeachment amount TO
much, with the accused all the while
in power, giving himself the benefit of
doubt. There are a hundred matters

The Express says 1t is.a disgrace to
the organization OF the House that the
subject ofimpeachment goes before Il
committee Of nine members, upon
which the President has but Onefriend
and not an original friend. The
eight remaining members will leave
the ease to Mr.. Ashley in its prepara-
ton. Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts, will
do the work ~ofimpeaching in the com
mittee. The only hope now is IN the
Senate, which may respect law and

Our Taxation In OhIos1O, OoO,-
600 "A Year.

We commented yesterday upon tho
fact stated in the Governors Message
that the taxes in Ohio, for State and
local purposes, amounted TO S2l, OO0, 900
a year. The taxes paid by Ohio to the
Federal Government are about $780,
0O0,0 900 = year, or n tenth ofthe whole
sum-s5OO, 900, OOO-which is collected
in the United States. Thus Ohio pays
for the luxury Of the Government che
enjoys some $4,000, 900 a year. This
10 equal to the sum collected in the
days Of Mr.. BuchanAn'sA Administration
from the whole Union for its Govern
mCnt. 1t seems incredible that Ohio
should pay any such a sum TO the tax
gathsrer, but the figures show that she
does. Isit any wonder that the people
find it all they can doto live, after $40.
O00, 900 is thus taken from them? The
population Of Ohio is considerably
short Of 100000; and il therefore fol-
lows that each person, old and young
male and female, is taxed on the ave.
rage, about s23 annually. A family OF
tive persons pay sl13, or more than it
costs to supply them with -four and
fuel both. Talk about the tax-ridden
people of Europe Where can there
% found an example that can compare
with Ohio on that Continent2 The

msnt Is about $3.50, OOO,O 900 q year,
