ESTY TRIUMPH.

ESTY TRIUMPH.
Hiss matter Of satisfaction to know that the
county scat controversy 80 far as its location is
concerned, is about To receive its final settlement
The Judges Of the Supreme Court have notified
counsel In thS case of REED 4 RoDGBRs vs..
WEDDEBL, that they propose taking that case for
hearing out of IT'S regular order. Probably next
week, but certainly by the close Of the first week
in March the Juicial decision will be given
which will place the matter At rest
The main question at issue, ia that OF the final
and sbsolute authority Of Judge MokENzIE's
decision of the case. Judge RANSKY and the
lluu. JANIS McRRAY, counsel for the defendant,
have very boldly affirmed that loyal prcccdcnts
are entirely in favor Of the absolute settlum ent
uf the case by Judge McKESEIE. BE that, how.
ever, as Il may, the time Of its decision is ut
hand, aud all parties can afford 10 wait.
Important as the decision viii be To the hold
rrsof property and as matter of convenience
to others, ye, we regard tho matter Of removing
the seat Of Justice from here to Bowling Green.
or to any other place in Wood county, as oftriy-
ill conscg ucucc when compared with the infa-
nous, over-rcachng and arrogant policy by
which the men in office, WIN favor Bowling
Green, have sought 10 accomplish their ends.
That policy reaches beyond the incident Of mere
personal loss aul Of personal Inconvenience; il
has demnraliIcd the honor and honesty Of men
who control the business Of the county; il has
abused aud perverted the rights of citizens to
use the ballot in determining the policy Of tax.
alton for local matters, and in their arrogance
Of power, its agents have violated both lac and
order. This policy touches something more than
the purse otths taxpayer it touches his cher
ishsd rights as.an American citiIea and by its
arrogance, it insults his judgement and his hon.
or as man.
The acts OF dcspotism performed by the ty-
rants Of the old world, have been achieved in
AccOrIance..with their own despo,ic Wills. aud
the subjects Of oppression could only submit or
die. The only law known to thcm was that Of
AelaSh interests, aud every object around Was
made subserv knt tn il. They had the powor to
cypress and the will to use that power. They
regarded no law, nor any interests that did not
tend 10 their own advantage. Let It be remen-
hersd that this state Of things, in the main, was
brough' about by little and little. First smaE

itis matter Of consolation to every naturallcd
as we'll as tn every native born citizen, to KNOW
that such rcsults can never be attained under
the General or the State Governments of these
United States, their Constitutional forms Of law
aud the prevalence Of the ballot forbids the tr
