GooD.-Our good-looking fricnd Kelly
editor OF the Auglaizc Democrat was re-
elected to the Mayoralty Of Wapakonctta,
OF Monday last. At his FIRST election he
had about 20 OF a majority on Monday,
lO7. II Is quite suggestive that a good
Democratic editor can make n good Mayor.

e%-Wc met a gentleman nom Hamilton.
to-day, who informed Us that the regular
Democratic ticket was elected IN that city
at the late charter election. There were
two other tickets ia the lield-an lndcpcn-
don't one aud an Abolition ticket but De
mocracy was triumphant.

tho Western leading on in gallant style
and being at tho scene Of disaster, which,
We are informed, was somewhere in the
Eight Ward, whore somebody's chimney

NuIrrrw iN.-The refractory members
Of the Rumpec at Columbus were whipped
into the traces the other day, and voted
for the joint resolution submitting the
question striking the word white from
the Constitution, This IS the issue FOR the
fall campaign. The Journal says "tllere Is
no argument against It, because it is con-
coded that the colorcd people are human
beings etc. "Colorcd people" that takes
IN all races, Indians, Chinese, cite, but we
shall see about the argument some of these
days.
TO ADVERTISING AGESrs-Undcr Il law
Of this State publishers are prohibited, un7
der severe penalties, giving place in their
columns to such advertisements as "Dr.
Ifarvcy's Golden Pills,'' etc. aud we take
this method OF informing them that here
after no s,tcli matter will find place In oar
columns.
We are truly rejoiccd at the passage and
enforcement ofthc act, rs wcthink all such
matter is not only demoraliziugs in its
effects. but has u tendency to increase
crime.
There are one or two old contracts yet
%uneNpircd with MS, but the advertisers may
have the benefit of other matter, To the
same amount Of space. in our columns.
Those that have been in the paper will be
excluded from our columns.
PUBIC "A correspondent of
the ,JotUHai over the signature of "Public
Safety" says "Rumor informs us that we
have in our midst rs many us sixteen of
the infamous gang who were shortly since
'NlN'hNh ll'lA hAail0lhNANH INV AllA wv
that they are known to Marshal Hale
And the tenor of his article is to know ii
something cannot DC done to relieve us OF
this set of ~ruscals. A very commcndahle
spirit mauifcsts itsclfin the article of "Pub-
Tic Safety" and the desire TO rid the com-
munity of a class who live by villaiuy-
robbery, arson and MURDERS II laudable
one, and a consummation deveutly to be
wished for, But the Journal in its remarks,
instead Of suggesting some means to be
used to rid us of the rascals. dips its pen
into its political ink pool and makes y hing
Mt the Mayor by saying: Marshal Hale
can't do anything with rascals unless the
Mayor convicts them How will the
Mayor convict, if Marshal Hale and the
police force that may be under his control.
do not bring them before the Mayor for
trial. But Marshal Hale can do something
to relieve the cityof these ~rascals, if he
knows them. rs Is asserted. lie can warn
them to leave the city and If they do not
do so, he may arrest them as Migrants, they
having no visible means OF support, and
bring them before the Mayor, who may
then take action in the ease, or cases,
brought before him. Let the Marshal and
dhc police but do their duty and they will
not find Mayor KENNEN remiss in his.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE LAw-The
Cincinnati Commercial thus expresses its
opinion of the outrageous and contcmpti-
bile measure;
at purports to be a general law, but is
made. by limitations rs to population, to
affect only Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo,
and Is designed TO take the control OF
the local police from the people of those
cities. No pretensc is madc-Or, If made,
it is nothing more than a bald pretcnsc-
that those people are less capable than
Others to regulate their own affairs. or that
their police management of men are worse
than those OF Cincinnati, Cleveland, or any
other considerable town in the State. But
the voters of the places thus subjected tC
legislative guardianship have sometimes
It appears, elected Democratic officers. Thi,
