MONROE COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY Ami
vERsARf.-The anniversary of the Mon
roe county Bible Society, auxiliary to
the American Bible Society, was held in
the NJ. r. Church Of this place on Sun.
day, the 18th inst. The general Agent
Rev. WILLIAM HERR, was present, and
preached in the morning, after which a
collection Tor the callse, amounting to
Sal So, was taken up In the evening
the ANNUAL busihess meeting of the
County Society was held. Satisfactory
reports We're presented by the Treasurer
and Dsp8sitarf; and Also partial one
from tile pfetldhs codaty agent
The Board Of officers, consisting Of
NATHAN HoLtlsrER. President, Jons
KERR, yics President, ii. B. HILL, Sec
retary, Dr.. S. GRlMshAW, Treasurer, ant!!
pHILlf scnuMAcurk, Jr; Depositary, ,was
elected far the ensuing year. tits THE
intention of the SOCIETY to make a more
thorough canvass Of the county, in tile
interests of the American Bible Societk.
than HAS ever yet Beeh done. With d
view to this end, Tie board of oflics,ts
was instructed TO SECURE, if possible, tAe
services Of Rev. A: H. Roach, of tiiis
county, as agent Of the county. DeEos-
ltorles have already been established In
neafiS, If Not qdfte, all of the townships;
and efforts. will be made to mair;tsin a
Branch Society in each one.
The agent will also travel throughout
the county, visiting each family, to see
that eacli one is supplied with a copy of
the Bible, will deliver public addfessaess
as often as may be-, and solicit contribu-
tions both publicly and privately. It
ought to be generally known by the cit
zens that books can be had at the town
ship and county Depositories, at from
tacent5,ace forty per cent less than the
usual retail price of such books in regu,
lar Bookstores. Tho supply now on
hand, at the store of Mr. SCHUMACHER
in this place, is very ample, and the
books are certainly models Of cheapness
and excellence.

Another Chapter in the hyssem
Case.-A. Cincinnati Policeman
ArreseeA.

On the 2Bth day of April last, ELsoN
HYssoM escaped from our Jail and betook
himself to Cincinnati. Sheriff CALDWELL
offered $500 for his arrest or informa-
ton that would lead thereto.
On tile wharf in Cincinnati, On the
18th day of May, WIrriAM 5. Lynch, of
this place, alleges that he saw HfssoM
and pointed hitn out to Policeman Par
RICK FLANSEkf,,inder an AGREEMENT that
he, FLANNERY and his partneF, Policeman
URIAH RAYNoR, were to ARTIST and hold
HYssoM until the authorities here could
reach Cincinnati; or bring him here; in
either case they xerc to receive Sloo ard
LYNCH $500.
RAYsoR arrived here on Saturday, the
14th day Of May, having in charge the
prisoner HYssoM. He represented to
Prosecuting Attorney SPRIGGs and
Sheriff CALDWELL that he had arrested
HYssoM aud claimed the reward Of $500.
About this time dispatch reached here
from LYNCH instructing Pros. Atty
SpRIGGs to hold the reward. RAYNoR
claimed that he had not seen LYNCH
until noon of the day the arrest was
made, and that was at the Station
LYNCH coming there TO see HYssoM -
There being q disposition to pay no part
Of the reward until further in vestigated,
RArxoR finally agreed to take s200, and
leave the other 900 here, to be paid to
LrxcH whea be hled an affidavit that he
gave Ae information that led to the ar
rest.
Sheriff GALDwELL paid RAYNoR $500.
together with the cost Of coming here,
which amounted to something like S45.
Shortly afterwards LYNCH appeared and
demanded his share Of the reward mon
ey, $500, under his agreement with
FLANhERY. q.
Here was fix. 1t finally Resolved
itself into the Grand Jury room, where
2 indictments were found at the late term
of Court against Ramon: One for 'ot.
tainlng money under false pretenses,
and one for sextortion in office.
A warrant for the arrest Of RAYNcR
was issued to the Sheriff of Hamilton
County, who arrested RAYNoR and reach
ed this place with him on Thursday, the
2lst ult. RAYNoR being unable to give
the required bail was committed to Jail
to await trial At the next term of the
Common Pleas Court
P.S.-0n Sunday, the 24th ult., RArNoR
was released on his own recognizance,
upon tefunding Sl00 and agreeing to pay
all costs incurred in making his arrest.

One week ago Depaty Shefiff Gibner
took into custody Sargoant Of Police
Uiah Raynor. The arrest was made on
copias, issued BY the MBhfos County
Court, charging Raynor With ext6rtion in
office and obtaining money under false
pretenses. The prisoner was taken to
Woodsfeld, Monroe County, But was re-
leased on his own fecognizanae and re-
turned to this city.
1t appears that in May last nlah
named e. Hyssom was arrested on the
serious charge of raplng his own daugh-
ter, and was subsequently tried and con-
svicted. While waiting for tile verdict,
Hyssom broke the county Jail and escap-
ed. A reward of $3.50 was offered for
his capture, and a man nam ed Lynch
started in pursuit Having traced his
prey to this city, Lynch loitered about
the wharf in hopes Of spotting his man,
whom he shrewdly suspected would seek
passage on some Of the down rlter pack
cts. Atlast he saw his man on board Of
u boat about to leave for the Scutil. He
then called on officer Flannery to make
the arrest, agreeing to give him 800 oi
the reward.
Meantilng Officer Raynor had likewise
spotted his fiian, having his description
from handbills, previously received, Of
fering the rewafd. He made the arrest,
OGlcer Flsnnery happening up and help

The following is a part of the
platform adopted by the Democra-
cy of Fairfield County, at their re-
cent County Convention.
6. Reso1ved, That the war waged
by the Abolition party against SOW
ereign States was partzan war, for
spoils and for partizaE purposes,
and was.in violation of the Constitu-
ton and the Democratic theory of
our government.
Z. Resozved, That the war debt
was cre:ted under false pretences,
and in violation of the Constitution,
therefore a fraud upon the people,
and is now eXacting, as it has been,
the very substance of the toiling
millions, to pay the annual interest
of the same; hence, if continued
must inevitably make abject
slaves of the masses to the bond
holders; therefore,
s. Resolped, That we are in favor
of disowning the bonded debt. or in
other words. are in favor of repu-
dating it, and if paid we are in ia
vor of letting the Abolition party
and ts'negro allies pay it,
IA. Resoloed, That this Conven-
ton instrncts her delegates this day
chosen to. represent us in the Dem
ocratic State Convention, to be
holden June l, 1870, to use every
honorable means to have these, our
views engrafted in the State Plat
form, and, Furthermore, to cast their
votes in said Convention for men
entertaining like views and princi
piles.

The Ohio Democracy,

The State Democratic Convention
met at Columbus yesterday. Its ac-
ton shows more ofthe signs of pol
icy than have hitherto appeared in
its convention doings. This is the
consequence of successive defeats
and small expectations. The candi-
dates do not seem to be made up of
those who insisted on nominations
in order to indorse a notoriously
bad record in the war, as has here
tofore been the case. The platform
avoids the 18th Amendment and ne
gro suffrage, and even makes q
flourish Of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, as if it were the Demo
cratic doctrine of equal rights but it
limits the application thereof to the
late seeded States.
1t also avoids a direct declara
ton for repudiation, but puts it in
the way OF taxing. the bonds.
Its declaration on the tariff is
comprehensive and complex. 1t goes
for low revenue tariff with the
closest approximation to free trade
and with absolute free trade in the
necessaries Of life. A tariff APPROX
mating to free trade would hardly
pay for keeping up the customs es-
tablishment. And tariff that laid
no duties on the necessaries of life
would hardly touch this mundane
sphere. But this is sufficiently
vague for Democratic platform
1t resolves against the internal
revenue system. In short, the Dem
ocratic party offers no absolute i'm
munity from taxation. This, how
ever, is but the cheap benevolence
of party that has no expectation
of having to carry on the Govern
ment.
There is a glitteringly general
accusation of the Republican party,
and promise of reform if the peo-
pie will elect the Democracy
Even the devil is a reformer when
he is sick. ..
1t resolves for abolishing the
National Banks, and su stitutine
greenbacks for their notes. This
simply proposes the destruction OF
institutions that have out a current
volume Of about 600 millions in
business loans. 1t is small dis.
turbance. Not much party capital
can be made of this resolution.
The platform resolves generally
in favor of oppressed nationalities
but it omits to say word for the
faithful Fenians, who vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, and strike now
and then for the liberation of Ire
land. .,.
The platform is remarkable morefo
what it omits than for what it con
tains. But Democratic platforms ar
of but little moment. The party ha
a character that oyerrides all litera
ture. They who vote the Democra
tic ticket do SO by instinct. Tn
Democratic party could succeed il
Ohio only by the disaffection and in
;tion of the Republicans Gin. Ga
