the commonest necessaries of life, and that
their families are in absolute want, or the
impulses of common humanity would move
them to the adoption of some measures for
our relief. Yet snch is the case
For months our children have been crying
for bread, and without relieving we have
only been enabled to protract the agonies Of
starvation. Our beat officers have been re
duced to beggary, and to solicit from the
charitable whose residences they guarded,
bread to take home to their frmilies. In one
instance a child of q good and faithful OIL
Ger died from the effects of hunger, and I'M
wholesome and insufficient food. Sickness
has Frustrated the families of many, and
they are without the means to procure med
icines, or the attendance Of a physician.
Hopeless aud despairing, they have appeal
ed to their friends in vain. All are alike
destitute--all equally without means OF sup
port. Our employment prevents our en-
gaglng in other pursuits, even. If remunera'
tive work was to be obtained; and now, with
menths of unliquidated dues owing TO US
from the city, we come TO you appealing for
q redress of our grievances and liquidation
of our claims. 1t is not charity we ask, but
the honest reward of labor faithfully per-
formed. Not for ourselves alone, bat the
helpless dependent upon our exertions, and
who look to us for support.
1t is no fancy picture ofimaginary distress
but an actual fact-a fact that could stir
sympathetic emotions in every honest
breast. We have borne up under repeated
disappointnents-we have struggled and
hoped against hope, but we can do so no
longer.
Gaunt want stares US in the face; our
families starving, in many instances shelter
less, we appeal to the magnanimity of the
city we serve for an alienation of our dis
tress. To you, as to one in whom we might
hope to find friend, we have submitted
this appeal, and ask your intercession with
the Honorable Council for relief.
With great respect for you personally,
we subscribe ourselves your obedient
servants,

Both Houses of the Legislature have
passed the metropolitan police bill for
turning over the Republican city Of
Cleveland 20 Democratic misrule. The
bill is so framed as to place the whole
power Of appointment, removal and
control of the police in in the hands of
an accidental Democratic Mayor, who
is backed by the whislzey interest and
who lobhied the bill in person. The
measure ostensiblv provides for the
election by the people of four commits
sioners who shall constitute a board for
the appointment and control Of the pO-
lice, but it's real object is to take this
power OF election away from the people
unless the city shall be 50 distTicted as
to give the Democrats comprising a
minority Of the people a majority of
the board. This is accomplished by re-
quiring the assent Of three fOltgthS of the
city council to the arrangement Of the
districts, thus enabling the Democratic
minority to defeat all fair distrieting,
prevent an election and throw the en-
tire city government into the Mayors
hands. A more outrageous piece Of
ed. The bill is deprecated by men Of all
parties in Cleveland excepting the May
or's interested clique, and not a word
was said in its favor showing that it is
needed for any good purpose whatever.
The measure is simply s. wanton inter
ference with an efficient and to a great
extent non-partisan police system, and
is gotten up for the express purpose of
converting the municipal governments
into q machine to be used for party and
personal benefit. A more efficient
scheme for utterly demoralizing city
governments could scarcely he devised.
It brings the slums and plug-ugIies in
to power, enables thieves and vaga-
bonds to rule, and makes government
the football Of parties, to be kicked to
the one which bids highest for scaven-
ger votes. The measure is so utterly
adverse to all the principles of good
government as to have shocked the
good sense Of many Democratic men,
bers who were with dif3culty lobbied.
coaxed and whipped into its support.
One brave fellow, Mr.. Neal, manlier
tEan the rest, stouted it out to the last
and voted against it. Others swOre
they would do so until a very late hour
but finally yielded. So much for Dem
ocratic oathss

FIRE AT MARIoN.-On last Thurs

of FIRE was given. We hastily put on
our clothes and started for the fire
which we found was at the Carriage Fac

which was all in a sheet of fame, and
the residence of Mr.. ohm Gull adioin-
ing was in great peril Cul's house
was saved without much damage but
the Carriage Factory and the stock
were a total loss except 13 Carriages and
buggies hastily dragged from the
flames. Some where between 20 and 30
carriage and buggies, mostly nearly fu-
Ished, were completely destroyed The
loss will probably amount to about
$4,000. The Insurance on the Car
riage Factory and stock amounted to
$500. Mr.. Cull's loss was but small
and was covered by Insurance.-Ka-

The Town Election.


The election in this township on Mon
day last fully confirms an opinion
which we have endeavored to impress
upon our Republican friends for more
than q year past. Its results came near
being disastrous, and all simply for
want Of that management and reguIari-
ty which is both proper and customary
on such occasions. Until the eleventh
hour no primary meeting was held and
no nominations were made. Counsels
against party contest prevailed and
on individual responsibility Democrat
1c candidates were invited to share the
benefit of Republican votes. We are
not aware that a similar invitation
came from the Democratic side. On the
contrary a straight Democratic ticket
was presented on election morning and
no faVOrs asked. Several Republican
candidates were in the field for each of
various offices and the wonder is the
Democracy did not carry off everything.
The result came out better than might
have been expected, but whether il
may be regarded as a party triumph
when il was ostensibIy not a party con-
test, it is perhaps not proper TO say
Had primary meeting been held and
the regular candidates selected in time
and their names made public there
would have been much larger Re-
publican vote and we doubt not hand
some Republican gain.
We are sorry to see a disposition to
regard these local elections as trivial
They are not trivial. They deserve the
earnest attention of the people and
while it may not be judicious to per
init political opinions to govern strictly
in the choice Of those who shall have
them IN charge, we believe that party
machinery should be used in eheeting
nominations and conducting elections.
Let each party present its best men and
then let the people choose. Or if fu-
sion can be effected let it be done on
fair terms and in good faith, and LEI
the people have hand in it. IF indi-
viduaIs are to assume the management
of those matters one will claim as

Democratic RejoicIng-A Happy In
spiration,

The Democratic members of the Ohio
Legislature, greatly exhilarated by the
election reports from Connecticut and
Michigan haVa- concluded that II would
Ue proper thing to sigHaliZe their
happiness in the consumption of large
quantities of gunpowder. This determ-
inatiOn is not absolutely astonishing
under the circumstances but the man
ner in which they propose TO make the
people of the whole State pay for their
partisan demonstration is certainly an
amazing specimen of ingenious impu-
dence. the House of Represent tauves
Tuesday passed a resolution Instruct
ing the Governor to cause a salute Of
three hundred guns to be fired in honor
of the election of English as Governor
of Connecticut and the defeat Of egrO
suffrage in Michigan. The Senate has
not yet acted upon the resolution. Il
would be worth going some distance to
see Governor Hayes upeTintending
that sort OF a salute but we would not
advise our Democratic friends to be at
the expense of chartering special trains
to the capital until the Governor gives
public notice of the time when he will
do it.-CIHci7ludtj Commercial.

Connecticut Legislature Republican

English has been reelected Govern.
or Of Connecticut by a majority slight
Iy increased over that of last year
Per contra, both the Senate and the
House are Overwhelmingly Republican.
A Republican United States Senator
will therefore be chosen by he pre-
sent Legislature to fill the place of Dix
on. Whether it is the greater victory
to secure a United States Senator for
six years or a Governor for one, we
leave to sensible men te decide, To
Ohio, when the Legislature went Dem
ocratic, although the Governor elected
was a Republican, the Democracy
shouted for about forty days and forty
nights over the great victory. But in
Connecticut it seems the same rule is
not appIieable.

The Terrible Assassination in Geor.
gia.

At midnight, last Monday, the Both
of March, twenty-five men with faces
masked, broke into the sleeping apart
ment of George W. Ashburn. at Col
umbus, Georgia and murdered him in
cold blood. One ball, the fatel one.
crushed through his brain, another
penetrated his al domen, and third
shattered his left leg The victim had
retired to bed, and just relighted his can
die as the door of his chamber was for
ced and the assassins opened their fire.
After completing their work, they re-
tired from the scene, two Of the nun
Der leaving behind new paper masks.
As the party retreated a policeman
attempted to halt them, but he heard
the click of pistols and did not press
his command.
Mr.. Ashburn, the victim, was a lead
ing Radical member of the Georgia
Constitutional Convention, which re-
Gently adjourned after completing its
labors. No man in that convention
was more violently ridiculed, abused
and Gurlesqued, and his assassination
is the natural expression Of the senti
ment Of the dominant rebel class il
Georgia, just as the outrageous earica-
lures and denuneiation were the natural
expression OF Georgia journalism,
