FRANKFORT, Mimi, July "a, 1871.
On this side Of the county the politi-
cal caldron is beginning to boil, and
the fusion ring party arc marshalling
their forces and making great struggles
to regain their lost power and position,
but the party which is laboring to in
crease intelligence and reform, advances
with their banner flung to the breeze
stand firm against these double dealing
demogagues and will forever hold them
at bay. The searching cxamina-
tion which has recently been made Of
the county records, will have damag.
ing effect on these self sacrificing, pipe
laying, wire pulling individuals who
propose doing the hard working tax
payers further service in the way of
pocket depletion. The most Of the
advocates Of that kind of doctrine, have
crawled into their holes, and pulled
them in after them, but by some unac.
countable freak one Of that class is
still running at large in this town and
is ever ready with his foul breath to
shed pestileuce and mildew upon the
character of the innocent, and to op-
pose the establishing of highways and
other enterprises, he is ever ready to
demonstrate unless it fills his dilapidatcd
pocket book. Professed subjects Of
the prince Of peace lend their influence
to sustain hin, in the business, and
weak minded minister Of the tight
baptist persuasion who would gladly
smell the burnt SAVIOR Of a roasted inf
del (if he could have the honor Of offer
ing him up at the throne Of his often
ded deity) aids him in his work, and
signs his remonstrances, which state
that the petition was gotten up by dis
reputable parties, for tho purpose of
carrying out malicious designs. This
looks a little as though the ambitious
egotistical divine was stepping out Of
his regular sphere, for the purpose Of
hitting terrestrial develtries, and would
advise him to read with attention, some
choice port;on Of divine writ to arrange
his own internal difficulties, and retire
to bed early in the evening, and awake
in the morning with this horrid ni'ht
marc Of malicious designs all vanished
aud gone, and the mind left in more
proper condition for teaching the pco-
pie the rewards of virtue and the pun
ishments of vice. JOTTER.

Old Phatty at hi. G.me Of 'BlaG'

Instead Of arrcsting Sylvester Smith
and others Of the sly malfeasants who
have grown rich at the public expense,
and having them put in q safe place,
under lock and key, as their crimes
justly deserved ; they have been al
lowed thus far to 60 unmolested except
as to civil prosecutions to recover their
ill-gotton gain. The county authorities
have manifested an exceedingly leuient
disposition toward that class of crimi-
nails, much moro so than in our judg
ment the nature of the cases would JUS
tify. If there is any crime that should
be punished to the full extent Of the law
it is tampering with public funds. But
the commissioners have undoubtedly
been actuated by desire to make as
little expense for the counsy as possible
This is probably the reason Why Sylves-
ter Smith was not arrested at once in
stead of being allowed to 60 at large
with only civil prosecution. To pro-
tect the interests Of the county and pre-
vent the OK treasurer from disposing Of
his boarded wealth, which every indica-
ton showed that he stood ready at any
favorable moment to do, his property
was attached. Judge FclcL as chair
man Of the Board of Commissioners
made the affidavit for the attachment
as was his duty under the circumstan-
ces. Then Smith starts his game Of
bluff He procures the arrest Of Judge
Fclch on charge Of perjury, simply as
counter movement to protect himself:
Every ore acquainted with Judge Felch
knows that he is one Of the most high
minded, honorable men in the county.
and they will laugh at the absurdity Of
the charge. The criminals he is prose.
cutting will gain nothing BY this sort Of
tactics, for he is not man who is easi-
" intimidated or deferred from doing
his duty. We trust that now the prop
er legal course will be pursued and that
Smith will be arrested and put under
bonds. There is no safety in permit
ting him to run at large, for he is likely
to leave the State any night. a. several
Of his aceomplices have already done.

Broke Jail.

The two young men, Miller and Kep'
ncdy, who We're committed to Jail few
weeks since for stealing DR.. Barnes
mare and colt. broke Jail and escaped
last Sunday evening The circum-
stances Of their escape are such as not
only to attach considerable blame to the
Sheriff and his deputy, who had them
in charge, but to arouse suspicious in
the minds of those best informed as to
the facts that the prisoners had an ac-
complicc in the person of one who oc-
cupies an official position.
The prisoners had been allowed to
occupy the main room !. the jail dur
ing the day time and evening, and while
there parties outside were allowed to
collect about the windows, and commune
cate with them for hours at time. It
seems that no effort was made by the
sheriff to prevent this. Furthermore,
persons were allowed to 60 into the jail
and visit with the prisoners. We arc
told that the mother of Kennedy was
with him nearly all day Sunday, before
the escape. 1t will be seen that every
desirable opportunity was offered to
furnish the prisoners tho necessary
means Of escape. An inch augur was
kindly provided them, with which they
bored around the lock Of tho door and
walked out. A great bluster of hunt
ing them was Of course made to keep
up appearances, if nothing moro. No
one can deny that proper care and pre-
caution on the part of the Sheriff would
have prevented the escape, for if they
had boen locked in their cells at dark
they could not have got away. 1t is a
little singular that only few days ago
the deputy sheriff was heard to suggest
that they might escape in the precise
manner they adopted.
