Let 1t never be said that Republican ad-
ministration tolerated theft.-Grsenville
Republican.
As you are on this tack we will furnish
you, and our Governor a circumstance;
true the subinmf Of said circumstance is
not a poor 6l of negro, as are Werles
and Furniss, else the organ of " faithful
w. H. B." would never have ground for
them the Rogueis March. A certain APP
pointee of ''our Gov" besides beng
custodian of public funds, does mercan-
tile business. A few days since a war
rant was presented to him, by man in
town upon said public fund; but our
merchant being in a commercial mood in
formed him that that the money could not
be had on his warrant, but suggested that
he could trade it out. He was told by
the holder of the warrant that he had al
ready done his trading at Messrs. -.
This drew attention to the package pur-
chased at Messrs. -, consisting Of three
calico dresses. So insinuating Of manner
is our merchant official, that he prevailed
upon his visitor to buy other calico of
him. Then being ready to leave, he (the
purchaser) looked for the package of cali
co he had brought with him. This had
in the meantime disappeared, nor could it
be found. So, Illuminating upon the un-
proftableness of traffic in script the suffer
er left.
Now for the denouement. The loser
of the three calico dresses has next door
neighbor, whose daughter had also pur-
chased calico and upon the same day. In
a spirit of feminine pride she came over
to show her purchase to the wife of him
who haG lost the calico, saying she had
bought T" such lovely dress" from Mr..
-, our merchant official in this cali
co shown to his wife, the lost package
was discovered After a process of iden-
tifcation was gone through, and 4 law
yer's Office visited, this unfortunate APP
pointee concluded there was no use strug-
Cling against such unparalleled cruelty of
accident as this and duplicated the mys-
terious calico, paid for the writing of an
affidavit, and blessed the legislature
which in its wisdom permits the COM
pounding of misdemeanors.
We have already said that this man is
a custodian of public funds. In behalf
of people who naturally do not wish their
tax money to be in the hands of such a
Custodian, we require him to surrender
this Office; otherwise we suggest that the
future collection of taxes which are to be
trusted to him, be enjoined upon this
ground.
We feel justified in saying that despite
the requirements of the law, in this case
we have not the security of even a pre-
tense of bond.

Mr. John Saxton, the veteran editor
of the Canton, (Ohio) Repository and Re
publican, had q privilege vouchsafed TO
few editors, thAEof chronicling the over
throw of both the first and last of the Ma
poleons. In his issue of the 9th instant
he publishes the news of the capture of
Napoleon LII. at Sedan, and republishes,
from the issue of that paper of August "A
1915, q dispatch announcing the defeat
of the first Napoleon, at Waterloo. The
most notable circumstance In the matter
is the di9erence in the time Of transmit
ting the two dispatches. That of 1915
left Waterloo, on june 18th, and reaehed
Canton, Ohio, August 23d--a period Of
over two months. That Of 1870 left So
dan, on September I'd, and was publish
ed in the daily press Of the country On the
following day.
