The County Commissioners.

We have been publishing the bills
allowed by the Commissioners of jack
son county, for several years, We do
this without pay, and for the sole puf-
pose of letting the people know what
is done with their money. We have been
informed that there has been talk about
some fees allowed to Laird and Du-
Hallway last spring for defending GER
tain criminals. Our Statute mercitully
provides that when a person is indicted
for crime, and has no money to en-
ploy a lawyer, that the Coult shall ap-
point lawyer to, defend hun, and such
lawyer shall be paid for his services by
the county, Under this Statute, Laird
was appointed to defend in one case,
and DuHadway in three, The Com
missioners allowed their bills, as they
were bound to do. Every lawyer
knows that the fees allowed to them
were not half what they would have
charged clients who had money, and it
is small business to make complaint
against the Commissioners for simply
performing duty imposed upon them
by the Statute.
Again, some persons inquire why
some of the Commissioners receive
more pay for their services than others.
The Commissioners are paid by the day,
/ for the time actually and necessarily
employed in the public business. Now
there has never been a Commissioners
in the western part of the county, un-
til the election of Mr. Plummer, and
there is a good deal of business to be
done in that part of the county. Mr.
Pluminer Of course looks after the pub,
lie interests in that section. He re.
sides nearer town than either of tht
other Commissioners, and Is the young
est, healthiest, and most active man o.
the three, and hence the others give
Bhim the most of the work to do, anc
/ bis pay is OF course the largest Mr.
| IS
Powers, an excellent and competent
man when well, has been SO afflicted
since he has been Commissioner, that
he has done but little, and hence his
pay is the least of the three,

Representative.

Two years ago, Jackson county gave
a majority to Gov. Hayes, but yet it
elected a Democratic to the Legislature.
OF course this must have been done by
Republican votes. A great effort is
being made this fall to get enough Re-
publicans to scratch DR.. Williams
name, to elect Kahn.
Now ii any Republicans feels inclined
to scratch the name of DR.. Williams
from his ticket, with him we want to
talk few minutes.
There are some who will object to
any man. For instance, some will not
vote for DR.. Monahan for Senator, be-
cause he is a Good Templar. Others
will not vote for DR.. Williams because
lie is not a Good Templar, and so on.
Do yOu believe the principles of the
Republican party TO be correct Yes.
Very well. You are not really voting
for DR.. Monahan or DR.. Williams, but
for your principles, when you vote for
law maker. You will say ooh, | will
scratch Williams but | will not vote
for Kahn" Now, this dodge will not
do. You must choose between the two
men, and the principles represented by
the two men. One or tie other is sure to
be elected Now your duty clearly is to
make your choice,
And what is TO be decided by this
elections Just look at it. The State
will be divided into Congressional Dis
trcts by the Legislature to bs chosen
this fall, and this Districting will last
ten years. Ohio is largely Republican;
yet Democratic Legislature could So
District the State that three-fomths Of
the members of Congress would be
Democrats. For instance Pike anC
Ross counties could be takeli from tn,
18th District and added to ours and i
would be Democratic, and yet leay,
the 18th safely Democratic, and so on
Now the Legislature may be exceeding
Iy close. One member may decide the
pre- ponderence. Congress will alsC
soon be nearly equally divided. Ten.
nessee, Virginia, and all the rebel States
will soon be wholly represented by
Democrats.
Now look here, you Republican who
contemplates scratching DR.. Williams
and thus giving Kahn vote. Suppos
without Jackson county the Legislator
is equally divided, and by your actio
Mr.. Kahn is elected, thus giving tn
Democracy majority The Legisla
ture so Districts the State that tn
Democracy gains eight to ten member
of Congress. This gain from Obi
gives the rebel Democracy a majorit
in Congress. This majority passes
law taxing you to pay the rebel wa
debt, and to pay for every slave free
by the war and the great Proclamatio
of Abraham Lincoln. The Publ
Debt will be repudiated, and then an
other secession is secured; for wit
The Government in the hands of tn
Democracy, the rebels would not b
coerced How would you feel then
All this you may accomplish. An
you will risk it, will you7 Think frs

seTemperate Men. y

Just after the Democrats had nomi-
mated their county ticket, the following
appeared in the Herald:
"The ticket altogether Is made up

"SuccessfuI business Men. ,,

The Herald, in speaking of the can
didates on the Democratic ticket, says
"Itso happens, that Capt. Davis and
Mr.. Connolly, and each and every one
OF the Democratic candidates now be-
fore the people ofthis county, are well
known to bo honest, competent, sue
cessful business men," ft..f
Now men may differ as to what con-
stitutes man Successful business
man" If getting the peoples money,
and never paying il back is evidence of
sudcegs ih business, then one Of these
candidates is eminently successful The
records in the public Offices of Jackson
county show that Jonathan r. Booth,
Democratic candidate for Treasurer,
borrowed Of the public money, raised
by taxation from the people, more than
ten years ago, the sum of about 81 20Oi
that II was all collected by law, except
about the sum Of $3I3 0Oi that the
Commissioners were unable to collect
this balance, and so compounded with
Mr. Booth, giving him about 500 OO
and all the interest, as the record says,
because he was unable to pay IL, and they
took the note Of two other parties for
S2i4 90, which appears in the Half
Yearly Statement, Published in our
paper. This note is over due, but it is
not paid.

.sWatchman, what q the Night Y


Many persons have inquired Of us
what we think will be the result OF the
election in Jackson county this fall.
Our answer is, we do not know The
case stands just this way: the RepubIi-
cans have just about four hundred ma
jority in the county, ifevery legal voter
would come out, and vote his sentl-
ments. There iSno question about the
truth Of that. But just here is the
danger. From twenty to fifty men in
each township will say, "well, With
such q amajority we can carry the county
.anyhowi / am busy, or | want to go
from home, or it is raining, and one
vote cannot change the result, and l
will not attend the election 1t will all
be right" Now if an average of 40
Republicans in each ofthe eleven town
ships in the county act thus, and we
lose 440 votes, and the Democrats will
carry the county by 40 majority For
be il borne in mind that the Democrats
will all be at the election. And they
are right in this. Oh that the Repub-
licaus would take a lesson from their
in this particular.
Now let every man who reads this
article see to it that, eve'y Republican
voter shall be at the polls Every man
is needed. EverN one.

An interior correspondent Of the
San francisco Alta Californian closes
a recent letter with the following lit
tie story
"Three years ago, while breakfast
ing at a mining restaurant near Ore
gon line, a stranger with uncomOed
hair, huge grey whiskers' and tattered
coat, took his seat at the table By
accident, was relating to the land
lord an incident which had occurred
some years previously In the COnnec-

table and was walking alone, the un-
shorn stranger aceOsted me You
are the first mai, said he, whom l
have heard mention my native town
for seventeen years, and it made my
heart come up in my mouth when
you did So This circustanee doubt
less made him unusually communica-
tive. He said he was living in the
mountains, fifteen miles from any
habitatIon, subsisting by hunting, and
visiting the settlements not oftener
than twice year. This statement
was afterward corroborated by other
evidence. What induced him to lead
this life he did not see fit to explain.

Mr.. Pendleton, in the excellent
conversational speech that he made
last week to some of his friends and

ed with the talk about low wages in

bend, that, when Mr.. PendletOn has
work to be done on his own account,
he decidedly prefers cheap labor to
dear; all other things being equal.
And we don't see why other employ

The Cincinnati Commercial never
put words together to more purpose
than in the following statement Of
what has kept the old hulk of Demo
cracy together for the past several
years:

Overtaxing -ChiIdran in Snbnol.

At the recent meeting of the Wis
eonsin Stale Medical Society, a paper
was -ead by DR.. Waterhouse, Of Por-
tage City, on the subject of debility
in children, especially in reference to
the evils of everlasting children in
our schools, the facts aud suggestions
Of which were deemed so valuable
that a resolution was adopted request
ing its general publication BY the
press, for which purpose it has been
revised by the author We copy a
passage.
Ia our common schools of the
present day, everywhere, but more
especially ic the cities and larger
towns, where the best teachers are
sought and obtained, every induce
ment, every incentive that can be de-
vised aud brOu hit to bear to stimu-
late and encourage study is faithfully
and persIstently applied The conse-
quenee is that many of our brightest
children from six TO ten years ofage
are performing more study, more
mental labor, than most of the bust
ness men, than most of the teachers.
| am aware that many children are
sluggish in temperament, and will
bear, and seem to require, great u-g-
ing to get them to learn; yet with
many Of this class it is their rapid
growth that takes away their energy
and even their ability to study and,
consequently, you must fail to get
them to learn much until they cease
to grow 50 rapidly; or, if you sue
eeed in getting study out of them,
you induce anamia. What else can
you expect? You cannot get more
from the blood than there is in it
and since the blood must supply The !
nourishment 10 The brain aud the
body and all its organs for their
growth, besides supply ing the waste /
of their exertiOus; it follows that, !
whenever you tax tifat fluid beyond !
lis income, anamia is the result.

The wonderful two headed girl is

She sings duets by herself. She has

keeps both tongues going at once.
She has lover, and this lover is in
a quandary, because at one and at
the same moment she accepted him
with one mouth and rejected him
with the other. He does not know
which to believe. He wishes TO sue
for breach of promise, but this is
a hopeless experiment, because only
half of the girl has been. guilty OF
the breach. The girl has two heads,
four arms and four legs but only one
body, and she Cor they) is (or are)
seventeen years old. Now, is she
her sister? Is she twins e? Or, hav-
ing but one body (and consequently
but one hearD, is she strictly but one
person? If the above named young
man marries her Will he be guilty oil
bigamy? This double girl has only
one name, and passes for one girl
but when she talks back and forth al
herself, is she sOliliquizing? Doe:
she expect to have one vote or two.
Has she the same opinion as herself
on all subjects, or does she differ
sometimes? Would she feel insulted
if she were to spit in her own facet
Just at this point we feel. compelled
to drop this investigation, for it is
too tangled for US.
