There is Danger Ahead.

The OHIO STATESMAN begs to assure the
Cleveland Herald and the Zanesuille Courier,
and whoever else it may concern, that it is
not livery much encouraged" by the prob
ability that the Impeachment farce may
terminate in armed conflict. These I'M
peachers cry there is no danger to be ap-
pretended from impeachment, that it will
insure peace and the perpetuation of a re-
publican form of Government. So did the
Republican politicians tell the people in
1860. when they beguiled the people into
the support OF the Republican party. There
is danger h ad.

/. victory in the Air.o

So says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
in ali editorial in regard to the election in
Connecticut next Monday. Yes, "Victory
is in the Air." but it is not Republican
victory-it is one after the fashion of the
one won by the Democracy on Monday, at
Ellsworth, Maine, where they were tri-
umphant by a majority of 150-being a
gain of 300 since September last.

.Retrencllment." :"

The Republican State Convention, resolv
ed, "That we cordially approve the deter
mination of Congress to retrench the ex-
penses of the Government"
This resolution recognizes the necessity OF
''retrenchment." 1t, in effect, though not
in direct language, declares that there has
been needless extravaganza and wasteful-
ness, and that this extravaganza and waste
tulness have been intolerably great. When
the extravaganza and wastefulness is not OF
particular consequence, no party in Con
vention calls for its abatement. When a
Convention, and especially State Conven-
tion, in which every county in the State is
represented, calls tor "retrenchment," that
very circumstance carries on its face the
most convincing evidence that among the
masses of the people there is rapidly
growing dissatisfaction with this state of
affairs.
The Republican party ascended into
power upon professions of retrenchment
and reiorm. Instead of redeeming one
profession in this regard, they have under
taken to dignity corruption and extrava-
gance. 1t may be pleaded that this Was
unavoidable during War times, but mas
much as War times have been over for
nearly three years, the pruning knife OF
''retrenchment" should have been applied
vigorously to all abuses. The Washington
correspondent Of journal that works po-
litically exclusively in the interest of the
Republican party, says that 'there has
been standing joint Congressional COM
mittee on retrenchment in existence for
nearly two years, and what has it done
What office has &c abolished, or aoherein has it
benefited the country to the ertent of a single
dollar? These are pertinent questions,
and the people have right to an answer
to them. The public money neuer aoas more
needlessly sQuandered than it is to- day.
This is the sort of ''retrenchment" the
Ohio Republican State Convention in
dorsed. The correspondent from whom
we have just quoted writes the truth, in
saying, ''this subject of retrenchment seri-
ously demands attention. The public haze
been promise cranned long enough-they
want something more substantial than
Congressional speeches about it," or Con-
vention resolves either.
1t is as clear as thing the most translu-
cent, that so long as the Republican party
is retained in power, the public will never
be more than 'promise-crammed" touch
ing ''retrenchment." If the public are
satisfied with this kind of dealing, let them
vote the Republican ticket as heretofore

The Guernsey Times says: Last Wednes-
day the house of Mr.. John Masters, situa-
ted about five miles south of this place,
was burned, together with its contents.
The cause of the fire is not known.
AR Mount Vernon, Ohio, on March 25th,
man named George Schultz, attempted
to cross foot bridge over Center Run
and was swept off by the flood and
drowned. He was supposed to have been
intoxicated at the time. His body was re-
covered. The water is slowly receding at
that point. q
The river yesterday evening began to
fall, says the Zanesuille Signal of The 2sth,
and by this morning had fell nearly two
feet. Yesterday afternoon the flood gate
at the foot of North street sprung a leak
and soon the water began to overflow that
portion of the city, but the city authori-

ing had it efectually stopped before any
damage was done.
THE Noble County Republican says: One
of our worthy citizens-a strict church
member--was reading his church paper
last Sabbath: having occasion to lay it
down for moment sporting son-in-law
substituted in its stead the N. Y. Clipper.
The old gentleman soon picked up the pa
per,am after adjusting his spectacles read
an interesting account of late prize Fl ght.
After reading the article, he laid the paper
down, wiped his spectacles thoughtfully.
remarked to his wife that the Presb,-
teridn was not the church paper it used to
be, and that he would discontinue taking
it when this year expired. Wife looked at
the paper and soon discovered the IMPOSE
tion, much to the old gentleman's gladnes
that the paper had not deteriorated so
mucb, after all.
WE are under obligation to Col. Blair,

another miles beyond, both are badly
damaged. +. A culyert at Somerford, Madi-
son county, has been swept out. The pike
is badly washed at points between Cam
bridge and Washington, Guernsey county.
The water is over the road at points in
Licking county, near Gratiot and Kirkers-
vile so that the damage done could not be
aseertaintd. There is but little doubt but
what a considerable amount of damage has
been sustained by the Public Works of the
State. So says the Evansville Courier.
