.9,aathey' Case Of Y'0af9' BuU ana
nty OT.

In November, 1866, Gen. George W. Nor
gan, q soldier who had served with distinc-
ton during the rebellion, was nominated for
Congress by the democrats of the Thirteenth
district of Ohio. The result of the election
was that he received two hundred and seven
ty-one more votes than did Mr. Columbus
Delano, his radical opponent. The defeated
candidate was not satisfied that a majority
OF the voters did not require his services he
smelt that tremendous newfoundland he
forthwith petitioned that highly loyal and pa
triotc iunta called the House of Representa-
tives to turn Morgan out and let him in To
speak palmer, he appeared before the House
rs contestant for Morgan's seat. Until
Tuesday the radicals were too much engaged
in the work ofnegroizing the South to attend
to the case but on that day the Committee
on Elections, Shy a strict party vote" decided
that Morgan was not elected and that Deano
Was-the majority of this last named gentle
man being set down at eighty-two. Such q
hair-splitting majority shows at once how
diligently the radicals ON the committee
went to work to elect one of their own party.
1t is true they entirely ignored the fact that
this identical Thirteenth Congressional dis
trict of Ohio gave democratic majority of
twenty-five hundred at the gubernatorial
election last year. But, after all, what diff
leTellCc uOcS ILLS IlldkG HC
ity in both houses are noted for the excellent
manner in which they take care of their
friends and punish their enemies. Delano is
radical Morgan is not therefore Delano
is entitled to the seat that Morgan was elect
ed to fill. One Senator elect is not allowed
to hold his Office because at some time or
another before the war he gave his son one
hundred dollars and that son afterwards en-
tered the rebel army some three or four rep
resentatives from Kentucky are rejected be-
cause before or during the rebellion they said
something which, by fearful stretch of the
Imagination, might be construed in o
meaning something, to say the most, very in
definite and vague. But then Ill Of these
men were democrats. objectionable crime
Butler and Stokes, of Tennessee, who for u
time supported the rebellion by word and
deed, are both admitted, because they have
repented and become radicals. What Roman
frmness ON the one hand what sublime
magnanimity on the other General Morgan
must go he must give place to Delano. We
advise him never again to be elected by a
small majority while the radicals are the
ruling power in Congress and we further
tell him plainly that not even a brilliant war
record can, in the judgment of our present
national Legislature, warrant justice to q sol
dier who is anything else than aloyal and pa
triotic radical.

The .Seiu school RO0rd.

The new Board Of SCHOOL, Commissioners
appointed under the Act'of Assembly recent
ly adopted, met in Bel AiS. on the 14th inst.
Rev. B. F. Myers wSsseleeted President of the
Board, and Rev. T. S. c.. Smith, Treasurer,
Secretary and Examiner.
The Board is composed of the following
members DIR. Thomas c. Hopkins, DR.. E.
II, Richardson, Rev. b. F. Myers, Messrs.
Jno. Galbreath Robert L. Morgan and Robt.
Henry. These names are all well known
throughout the county and are guaranty
that the new law is to go into operation un-
der favorable auspices.
Mr. Smith, who holds most important Off
ces under the new organization, and on whom,
more than any one else, depends the success
or failure of the system, is from his connec-
tion with the old board, too well known to
all interested in our schools to require COM
mendation from u.s. His high scholarly attain
ments, great executive efficiency and long
experience render the appointment peculiarly
appropriate, and We only regret that the
board would not give him salary commen
surate with the onerous and responsible du.
tics imposed upon him.
Nothing is of more vital importance to the
well being of q State than suitable and eff.
cient public school system. We hope to SEE
such system secured as our condition re-
quires; and the columns of the -KgiS are open
as heretofore, to all subjects tending 10 thu
advancement of our educational interests.

ii Lac for Sfa,.fOn'aCase.

1t was enacted by the Congress of the
United States in 1861, that /" if any person
shall take or possess any property of the
United States against the will or contrary To
the authority of the United States, or by force
or intimidation or threat prevent any person
from accepting or holding any ctlice or trust
or place of confidence under the United
States, each or every person so offending
shall be guilty of high crime, and, upon
conviction thereof in any district or circuit
court OF the United States having jurisdiction,
shall be punished by fine of not less than
five hundred dollars and not more than five
thousand dollars, or by imprisonment, with
or without hard labor" Here is a law that,
properly used, would send Stanton to the
Dry Tortugas. 1t covers his case to nicely.
He holds the War Department on warrant
that is expired-that is, he holds it without
legal authoity; and so holding 1.-THE possesses"
the property of the United States against the
will and in defiance of the President, who as
the Executive, is the real custodian for the
United States of that property. Moreover,
thus wrongfully holding that department. he
prevents "by force, intimidation and threat"
aperson commissioned by the President from
holding an " office OF trust or place of conf
dcnce." Proceedings against Stanton under
this law would best bring him within the
reach Of justice. They would expose his
absolute want of title TO the office, and would
put him before the people in his proper char
acter as criminal and conspfrator against
the peace of the country and the supremacy
of the laws. No mere production of the case

Stanton's mischieyous conduct SO well as
would his trial on criminal proceeding under

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. March
report of the department of agriculture, re-
lating to farm animals shows slight increase
during the year in horses, mules, cattle and
mich cows, and a decrease in sheep. The
New England States exhibit decrease of
from six to thirteen per cent in swine the
Southern States from five to twenty-five, ex-
cept Arkansas and Tennessee, which give an
increase of twenty-three and twelve per cent
respectively; Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin
show a sight decrease; Indiana and Michigan
no material change; Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska an increase. A diminuton in
numbers of sheep is noticed in every State
except New Jersey, Arkansas, Tennessee,
West Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Idaho
and Nebraska The decrease in prices is
more marked than in numbers, amounting in
many States to reduction of thirty to forty
per cent. The aggregate decrease is not less
than thirty -five millions of dollars, averaging
nearly dollar per head. A reduction is no.
ticed in prices of horses and mules in every
section of the country in comparison with
those Of last year. The decline is more ap-
parent in the Southern States than elsewhere,
owing to the gloomy state of feeling in the
cotton section when returns were made
The price of cattle is higher than last year in
many of the States, with the exception of
mich COWS, which have very generally de-
creased in value.

Mr.. EDIToR.-On last Saturday evening
an accident happened to two students of
Washington College, so sad in its nature
that it sent a thrill of sorrow through every
heart They were both from Frederick City
Nd, and on the evening mentioned, while
rowing in North River, a short distance from
Lexington, approached so near the breast of
a dam on that stream, that the boat was
drawn by the back current, directly under
the fall, which was so great that it immedi-
ately submerged both students and boat
They arose several times and, although va
rious attempts were made by means of ropes
to save them, both persisted in the foaming
whirlpool. One Of the bodies was found an
hour afterwards, but the other not until the
next morning, These young men, who bore
the names of Luckett and Bierly, were sons
Of widows. We have known them for some
time, and have always found them to be true
gentlemen and industrious students. Their
deaths will be greatly lamented by all who
knew them. w.

intending suitable persons as supervisors of

the laws already in force were ample, if prop

board of commissioners are determined to do
their part, to tie best of their ability, and
when they thus call on the citizens of the
county to assist them, they certainly have the
right to expect cordial response. Let none
neglect this call, except those who have no
Interest in good roads, and we are certain the
result will be satisfactory.

the report of the auditor had been confirmed

inquire about the likelihood of securing the

they had forever lost their money, and we
