A FEW REASONS WHY PRESE
DENT GRANT SHOULD BE a
ID u III Ll(rTEn -.--t. | N
For the Chronicle.

For the Chronicle. a.Ua-f r.,.., -
1t is a common thing for Democratic
papers to prate aboutthe failure of Presi-
dent Grants administration. ] think
it can be shown that it lis not only not
a failure but give some reasons or facts
why the present administration should
be kept. in power four years more. One
thorn in the sides of the Democratic
Journals, and one that seems to give
them great pain, is, that the President
should need any recreation from the
tolls of his Office. 1t is not to be sup
posed that your modern Democrat ever
reads history, or he would hav e learned
that Jackson, Polk, Pierce, in fact
nearly all Democratic President, were
in the habit of seeking repose away
from the heat of Washington City,
during the vacation of Congress. ~
Now for few facts. General Noyes
told us in his speech the other day that
the public debt had been reduced under
Grants Administrations up to,the present
time, about $251, 900, 900, two numbered
and fifty-one million dollars. That he
was right the following official state
ment will show. The amount of debt,
including accrued interest and less
cash in the Treasury, on the first OF
March 1869, near the commencement
of the administration of President
Grant, was $2,525, ,463, ,260,01. On the
first day of April 1871, it was $2,0S0,6
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1871-09-21

596,27. The reduction of such debt,
during the two years and. one month
which elapsed from March list 1870, to
April 1st 1871 was $215, ,865, ,163, IA, a
reduction equivalent to S. ,630, ,626, ,55,
per month or S103, ,567, Ais, so, per
annuin. The above concise ami forci-
BILE statement of a great act is worthy
of the careful perusal by every citizen
of the country.
General Grant is the first President
who ever made movement for re-
form of the civil service and had his
suggestions been acted upon the reform
would have been a thing of the past.
1t is a well understood fact that he
will gladly agree to reform next winter
if Congress will consent. No admins
tratlon ever gave us more honest col
lection of the revenue or more general
reform in all the departments of the
government. By Grants mode of
treating the Indians we were spared a
bloody and costly war with them the
past summer, and at cost to the coun-
| try greatly less than that of any admin
istration before his. But why further
enlarge upon the merits of the present
administration? Every man, be he
Republican or Democrat, who has
brains enough to think, k1sOlcs that it is
an honest one. If the people would
change all this, let them elect a Demo
cratic President, and all the monies
stolen by the New York Tammany
Ring would not be enough to set one
of these great rMoguls up in housekeep.

over to the east side of Main, the other
passed down on the same side on which
the bank building is ssituated. A colored
man who had heard the pistol shots,
gave the alarm that something was
wrong in the bank, and a gentleman
came running to see what was the
matter. He reached the door just after
the robbers had made their exit and
learning the cause of the disturbance,
shouted to another gentleman on the
east side of the street to arrest the rob-
Der. A demonstration in that direc-
ton was made, but the presentation
of a revolver and a threat. frustrated
the intention. The robbers proceeded
down to Mulberry alley, passed up it
to another, down that to Mrs. Beck IS
brewery, up that to Fourth Street,
thence to the alley between Center and
John, up that to Sixth, where all trace
of them was lost.

MALFEAsANCE IN OFFICE!
PocKETING COUNTY FUNDS.

Two weeks ago we asked the people
of Belmont County to ask Mr.. Geo. III.
Umstead when asked by him for their
suffrages, "wbat he did with their mon
ey," which the law made it his duty to
collect and which he did collect while
acting as Sheriff of Belmont County.
Mr.. Geo. II. Umstead was Sheriff of
Belmont County for four years from
January, 1868 until January, 1867. The
law provides, by the act of April II,
1858, Sec. At, Swan q Critchfeld's
Statutes, page $40:
"That there shall be paid by the party
in whose,favor a verdict may be render
ed and in case ola non suit by the party
calling said Jury and taxed in the Bill
of Costs, in any civil cause tried in the
Court OF Common Pleas or Supreme
Court, the sum of Sir Dollars, which
sum shall be paid on the rendition of
the verdict or judgement of non suit as
aforesaid, and before the same is re-
corded, into the hands of the Sheriff of
the proper County, and by him paid
over to the County Treasurer under the
direction of the Court"
By an amendment to that act, passed
April %, and took effect May 1st, 1862,
Sec. IA, page All; Swan & Sayler's
Statutes. The law provides:
s'That tshall be the duty of the Clerk
Of each Court in this State, to furnish
the Auditor of his County within twen-
ty days after the adjournment of each
term of said Court, a correct statement
of the number of Civil Jury Cases tried
at that term, which statement small be
filed in the Office of such Auditor and
who shall charge the Sheriff in book
to be provided for that purpose, Sfa
dollars for each case so tried, and shall
credit such Sheriff with the Jury fees
when paid into the Treasury, or when
he may have paid the same"
The law furthers provides that the
Sheriff shall keep cash Book in which
these jury fees shall berecorded and that
titshall be passed to his successor under q
penalty of fine of one hundred dollars.
1 The intention of this law was that
tax payers of the County should be re-
levied to the amount of six dollars in
every case of civil nature which should
be tried in Court, and before a verGic
should be recorded the winning party
should pay that sum to the Sheriff, ant
he should be compelled to collect thu
same. A committee from the Repub'
liean. Executive committee called upor
the Auditor of the County and asket
to see the book in which the said Aud
itor is required by law to keep the ac
count of jury fees received by the Sher
lift, and was informed that no sucl
book had been kept.
i The Auditor examined the Ledge
accounts of the County fund from Jan
uary 1868 to August 8Oth, 1871 an'
found that during all this time Mr.
Umstead had not paid a dollar ofjur.
fees to tie Treasurer, and so stat ed t.

ROBBERY!
a Close 4 Engagement.


From the wheeling Intelligencer OF Thursday
Shortly after twelve o'clock yester-
day, bold and successful attempt to
rob the Peoples bank in this city was
made. The Cashier, j. F. Updegraff,
Esqr., had gone to his residence on
Monroe. street for dinner, leaving in
charge Mr.. George Feeny, his assistant.
At the hour mentioned, two men pre-
sented themselves at the counter,
when Mr.. F. rose from the chair on
which he was sitting, and went to the
teller's station to ascertain what was
their business. He had no sooner con-
fronted them than they brought two
revolvers to bear upon him and ordered
him to proceed to a room in the rear,
as they had come to take possession.
simultaneously with the order one of
the robbers proceeded towards the en-
trance, leading behind the counter
the other remaining with pistol in hand
where first observed by Mr.. +. Believ-
ing that the parties were intent on ac-
com plishing their object, Mr.. f. re-
treated to a drawer in which was kept
a revolver, and taking it therefrom,
was ready TO give them a warm recep-
ton. The robber who had remained
standing, fired, the ball passing in
dangerous proximity to Mr.. FPS person.
BY this time the other had got behind
the counter and also fred. He had no
sooner done so than he grabbed the
money in two compartments ofa draw
er. Mr.. +. discharged his revolver at
him, but without effect. The robber
who still stood outside, again fred
the ball grazing Mr.. Fs head. This
closed the engagement. The robbers
now made for the door and were soon

Labor and Capital.

FROM Ine n. COmInerclal Advertiser.
General Butler having assumed to be
the candidate of the Labor Reformers
for Governor of Massachusetts,, is giving
them some advice, which, for a won
der, is much less demagogical and mis-
chievOus than the utterances of many
of the sOcalled friends of the laboring
man, who seek their own profit at the
laboring mans expense, and so lead
him into acts directly contrary to his
own interests. The General adverts to
the fact that "strikes' injure one so
much at the laborer himself, and sums
up the matter in a nutshell when he
says it is true the workingman's Capital
is his labor, but it is capital valueless
if not used; and that strike, while it
it makes the employer lose the interest
on his capital, makes the laborer lose
the principal of his.
/ There is good deal of nonsense
afOat about the antagonism of capital
and labor, as if man and his employer
were natural enemies. They are not
enemies, but partners. Each has an
interests in common work. Neither
can war on the other without damaging
himself. When hostilities break out,
both members of the firm suffer. One
partner may treat the other unfairly,
and often does so. But that is no rea-
son why the one who is unfairly
treated should do himself more harm
In this country, where labor is free,
and its contracts untrammeled; where
work is abundant, and all are equal be
fore the law, the short and simple
remedy for any man who finds himsel
unfairly treated in his business connec
ton is to the end it and seek a better
one. The employer is free to change
his workmen, and the workman Is fret
to change his employer. But combina
tions of employers to grind down theil
employees, or employees to thwart anC
embarass the operations of their em
ployers, react upon themselves, fo
they necessarily injure.
