H. 3. WALL MISSING.
His Bondsmon Intensely Excited


Reports arc current than II B. Wall, Coun
ty Treasurer, has abseconded with a large
amount of the county funds in his possession.
He left here a week ago last Tuesday
morning for Columbus, to settle with the Au,
ditor of State He made his settlement there
and has not been heard from since. In the
mean time the key to the safe is missing, anC
everything is in the dark with regard TO tht
state Ofthe County funds. The safe will prob
ably be forced to-day, when the true cOndi
ton III regard to the matter will be ascertain
cd.
We find the above extract in the Hancock
Courier, of yesterday, with few bombastiC
hourishes about what a rascal H. B. Wall is
if the charges are true. The headlines are
ours. Now we have known for the last two
years that our County Treasuery was not IL
sound condition-that it was not conducted
as required by law, and it is not likely that
the Courier has Just made the discovery. But
the Courier, if not in the ''ring" that has coY-
cred up these thugs, has not been i1sdepeRdeH,
enough to expose them,
When an examination has been made into
the condition Of our county treasury, as the
law provides, there has been too much borrow
ing Of funds for a few days to bridge matters
over.
The Splitter note has been lying in the coun-
ty treasury for nearly two years, which Is con-
trary to law. Mr.. Wall had no right, as
Treasurer, to receipt to him for that note.
Now as the Courier says, Mr.. Wall went tc
Columbus Tuesday, and up to this time has
failed to put in an appearance. Should he
return, it will be fine thing for the people
of the county in general and the fifteen Tree
holders that are on his bond in particular
But it will not clear up the above points. IN
either case the leaders of the Democratic party
of Hancock countT will be arraigned at the
bar of public opinion. Should there be de-
feet in the bond, as some allege, this loss viii
come off the people of the county, and they

lnent Of q Democratic Treasurer.
But we await further developments. 1t il
impossible to estimate the probable loss il
case nothing should be heard from Mr.. Wall
until the committee appointed to examine the
contents Of the safe have obtained access there

with those goods. Very well, you
will say, let them reduce the cost
First the cost Of the raw material
must be cheapened, then the cost oi
machinery must be reduced, and
then the wages of the workmen
must come down. Do you begin to
understand? The producer of cot
ton, the grower of wool, the miner
of iron, and the miner of coal, the
makers Of machinery must all take
| less, and finally the maker or max
ers, orthe particular articles effected
must take less, and the process will
90 on until the workmcn are reduc
ed to the same level with those
countries we have named. Do you
want TO see that result? Do you
want free trade, with its concomi
tant evils? Then vote for Dickinson
and help him Inaugurate this theory
But before you do so, cast your eyC
over the following figures, which

one could have supposed so rapid a
consummation possible.
The effect of this overthrow, upon
France, has been to concentrate tho
Republicans and enable them again
to resume direction of the govern
'ment. As consequence a Republic
had been declared, with General
Trochu at its head, and active mea-
sures were being taken to organize
for the defense Of Paris. New ar
mics are being formed, and the pro
liability is that there will be more
fighting before the Prussians will
have conquered a peace. Mean
while the Crown Prince of Prussia
and Saxony, with their armies are
moving upon Paris, having resumed
their march on Friday last. n few
more days will tell how they will be
met there, or how they will possess
that great city. Reports ofthe surren
der of Bazaine, at Metz, are circulat-
ed, but as yet, have not been con
firmed.
The fall OF the Empire will leave
Italy free to take possession Of Rome
and il is affirmed that she will soon
make demand to that end.
The later news from the Scat OF
War continues of the same tenor.
The Republic seems to gain in favor
with the people, and thousands Of
them are rushing to arms. England
it is said, has recognized the new
government. The declaration of 6
Republic seems to have been infec
tious, and Italian Republicans are

Florence OF so extensive a character
that the King and Court left the

becoming more insecure, and it il
not improbable that he may be com
pelled to flee from Rome.

The Democracy take delight in
abusing Mr.. Foster our candidate
for Congress, because he is wealthy
but they forget to mention the fact
that their brethren of the 9TH Dis
trict have nominated H. j. Jewet, s
scarpet-bagger," for no other reason
than because he was railroad mo-
nopoIist and land -grabber, Mr., Jew
EFT, had hardly gained a residence
in Columbus, when it was determin.
ed that the old wheel horses of the
party should be thrown over to
make room for Jewett, who had
money and owned a railroad that
might be used to colonize voters
Our candidate has made whatever
he possesses by hard work and good
business qualities, which cannot be
said of his competition, Mr.. Dick
inson.

FURTHER REDUCTIoN.-A faithful
administration proves itself. And
the Administration of General Grant
has been multiplying proofs to the
people of its efficiency and honesty
Every month. since the reins OF gov
ernment have been in his hands, the
proof has been augmented, and in
the most tangible shape that proof
can be presented to the people-the
permanent reduction of the public
debt. And during the month Of
August it has given an additional
proof in the payment of
SI3,4O2,325, 90.
of the interest bearing debt of the
nation. And in doing so it has saw
ed $SO4,O0O Of interest that other
wise would have had to be paid.
This is a record of which any party
might well be proud.
Since March Ist, 1870, the reduc-
ton of the public debt reaches the
sum of
ss2, ,fO7 $4,000
and the amount of expense, in the
way of interest, permanently saved,
reaches the sum of $4,945,0OO.
No administration which tie
country has every been blessed With
could present more favorable show
ing to the American people. 1t is
conclusive evidence that the conf.
dence of the people has not been
misplaced, and that it should be con
tinued. Recollect reader, that when
| it was proposed in Congress to re
duce the internal revenue taxes 500,
100000 per year, DICKINSON
VOTED AGAINST IT, thus en-
deavoring to saddle sixty millions
more expenses upon you. Butt he

the dogma Of infaliblity is bearing fruit
in all Roman Catholic countries. Not only
has the Bayarian Government, with the fun
sympathy of the leaders Of the Romish Church,
prohibited the promulgation of that dogma,
but even in Spain a great reactiOnary move
ment has begun. In Madrid, as reported some
days ago, sixty of the Catholic clergy have
renounCed the Pope, and formed an indcPen-
dent church organization. A priest Of jewish
extraction has joined the Protestants, and
formed a new church at Avila, where there IS
Catholic Theological Seminary. In Estre-
maduru, another priest has "come out," and
brought fourteen parishes with him. These
are few Of the many signs of the times.

NATIONAL FIEAKCEs.-Our readers
gecerally are referred to the docu-
ment published on our first page
thisweek, Under the above title.
It is the most complete refutation
of the charges Of ofextrayagance, put
forth by the Democracy, that could
be furnished, and exhibits them in
the unenviable attitude ofintentional
maligners of the administration and
its adherents. 1t shows to what ex-
tent the public debt has been redu-
ced, how much taxation has been re-
stricted, how much the revenue
from tariff has been reduced, and to
what extent the legislation Of Con-
gress will permanently relieve the
country. Let every one read it, and
the Republican will-be confirmed in
his faith, and the honest Democrat
convinced of his error.
