i,eislature in favor Of DuNlin Green, and Tor
legal services rendered its citizens. The money

Anaoar the itoIns f,r which payment was made
sss one OF $3.50, for the preseHtoiion Of juci' to
m, Judiciary Committee Of the Legislature, and
1;s o9 personal expenses, whilst thus operating
These amounts we're paid to Mr.. CoRRlti, n lc-
gal gentleman whose paternal interests 10 the
real estate Of Bowling Green is cf large value.
The Commissioners in their wisdom, concluded
that such personal diain'orssteduess should be
rewarded and who could DO It better than the
taxpayers of Wood county. Possessing, there
fore, the power to lery taxes and the means to
use the money thus raised, they thrust their
hands l,lj the treasury and paid the bill
Now there are many other villages in Wood
county, besides Bowling Green, whose owners
Of real estate are equally worthy of sharing the
peoples money. Would It not be well for the
wcod eounty Commissioners 10 give them
chanea at the public purse In like manner. The |
sauce that has been good for the goose should |
prove equally nice Jor the gAndcr."
Then there Is that little demand Of Lieut.. Gov.

ny the phraseology Of this orA1r it will be
seen tha, there is no account Of service rendered
the county Of Wood, by the Governor. Il is sim
ply a request for sl5O. II is strangely coinc-
dent that this amount exactly corresponds with
that before mentioned as having been paid for
sio,OIs feet, before the judiciary Committee,
aud the question naturally arises whether the
Governor Is also trafIicking In such costly mr.
ohandiIe For ourselves we are alta loss IN
know the substance Of which those facts we're
composed, whether Of oysters IN their several
states Of culinary devehpement, of turtle soup,
OF Of sparkling champignef Did they address
the appetite or the upihtY Of those Interested
These are quesu ns which spring naturally
from such mys orihu' lnr1ulctm,nts. rhl per.
tineaco of such questions becomes mora furoiblc
from the circumstance that Il is rep ,rted that

bus To confer with Governor LRE on the process
by which I" get rid of the injunction which now
protects the Wood county taxpayers, by pre-
venting the huge swille of"remova" from beng
accomplished, That process is indicated by
this bill which, in its design and objects when
associated with the former acts of this faction
upd those which are now being developed in the
county offices, reveals an amount Of uuscrupulous
corruption which would make even a BREsLIN
blush tor shame.
They have wilflly violated the pledges they
made to the people. They have swiudlrd the
Taxpayers by tie use OF their hard earned mon
ry FOR lobbying and Tor their illegal purposes,
and new when the strong arm Of Justice is cx.
tended to guard the best interests Of the people,
these corrupt aud crafty mou are clsndcstincly
endeAvoring to secure special act Of leghlation
which prevents an appeal to a superior court,
thereby paral,Iing tho arm Of Justice, ant open.
