The Russell reaper Works,

The new reaper works of Russell & Co,
in u town, situated convenient to the
railway station, are now IN full and sue
cessful operation.
BY invitation OF our old friend, ". K.
Miller, Esqr., n of the firm, and Super
intendent Of the works, we visited this
new establishment the other day, and spent
an hour or two IN passing through and
observing its fine dimensions and a~ppropri-
ate and convenient arrangements.
The main bnilding is IN the shape of an
L, each part 220 feet long by so wide.
There is also a wing Of 100 feet in length
IN which are their magnificent boilers and
engine. Only one of the boilers is used
at a time. The engine is about one hun
dred horse power and works beautifully.
The buildings are of the most substan-
tial and durable kind-all of good brick
upon good stone foundation. They are
erected with q view to durability. The
main building is three stories high with a
fine cellar under the whole structure de-
signed for storage. The cellar Is also used
for much Of the running gear of the ma
chinery. 1t is due TO Mr.. Miller to say
that he supervised the erection of the en-
tire works.
One thing that struck US in passing
through the establishment, was the con-
venient location and arrangement of every
department. 1t seemed that the material
went IN at n place in the rough, and came
out at the proper point for shipment, a full
hedged and perfect machine in all it's parts
In addition to the convenient arrangement
all that can be done by power, is done
We observe that less and less is being done
by manual labor. Articles that, a few
years ago were made by hand are now
turned off much faster and more perfect
by machinery. Wonderful IS human in.
genuityl
At present, some one hundred hand.
only are employed. When fully complet
ed, and the machinery all in place, the fore,
employed Will be about $50 men. All THU
will be done during this year. When run
ing at full strength the works are designed
10 turn out 5000 machines yearly, a ma
chine as near perfection in all its parts a
perfect machinery and human ingenuity
can construct.
We must say we admired the go0d orIe
and regularity throughout the establish
ment. Every man was at his post anC
quietly, but busIly engaged The determ
NATION, no doubt, is, to make the bes
work that can be made, and to produce tn
most perfect Reaper and Mower in all 1t
parts: Their Reaper, with the Droppe
attachment. is well known to our farmer
as a success, but from the work we say
the self-raker perform last harvest, We al
confident this arrangement is bound +
supercede all others. These works are de
voted exclusively to making the combine,
Reaping and Moving machines, while tn
works at MassillOn build nothing but Sep
a~rators.
The working capital of the company j
four hundred thousand dollars. The cost c
these works, when completed, will amour
to some two hundred thousand, and thre
fourths of that amount has already bee.
expended. We wish this new establish
ment a prosperous and enduring career.

FRAUD seems to be the order Of the day
among the Grant officials. Indian Agent
McCalley writes to the Indian Bureau
that he was sometimes since approached
by s. NJ. Black, Indian contractor, to sign
vouchers to the amount of $4,000 for
goods alleged to have been furnished to
Indian tribes, and threatened to have him
dismissed unless he complied with his de-
mand. The agent declined, as he knew
that Black had not furnished the goods.
Nothing more was heard of the matter
until the agent received a letter request
ing his resignation, which he ALLEGES was
instigated by Black, and his refusal tc
sign the fraudulent vouchers was the cause
OF his dismissal.

There is quite a row up between Gener-
ais Hancock, Sherman, and Grant. A
voluminous correspondence has just been
published between Hancock and Sher-
man. 1t appears that General Grant over
ruled certain orders Of Hancock at New
Orleans, in consequence of which Hancock
assumed toward Grant a formal If not I'M
friendly air, when they next met in Wash
ington; that on the death of General Thorn
as, Major General Schofeld, junior officer
of that grade in the army, was assigned
tothe command of the military division of
the Pacific. To this General Hancock
took exception, and so informed the Gen
eral Of the army, inquiring as to preced-
ents and reasonsf for jumping him. Gener-
al Sherman, in reply, said that his per-
sonal and official relations with the Com
mander-in-C Chief were such that his pref
erences would notbe needed, and IN ex-
PLANTATION was personally asked Of some
newspaper rumors. Again, when General
Sheridan went to Europe, Hancock
thought he should have succeeded him in
command of his division. The President
and General Sherman did not see the nee
essity of this, preferring to keep the po-
sition open for Sheridan on his return.
The correspondence is published by per-
mission of the Secretary of War, at the
solicitation of General Hancock.

Report of Committee ON Accounts OF
Trustees OF City Water Works.
. THE CRY CoUNcIL OF CANToN /:

To THE CITY COUNCIL OF CANTON:
Your Committee tn whom was referred
the examination of the account of the
Trustees OF the Canton City Water Works
beg leave to report:
That the account of the Trustees of
Water Works from April II, 1870, to De-
cember 5, 1870, made out by Daniel Wor-
ley, Secretary, did not embrace the receipts
and expenditures of said trustees from
February Is, 1870, to April Is, 1870, the
majority of the committee (Schaefer de-
clining to participate in so far as his own
account of secretary is c~onceTned), there
fore requested of Louis Schaefer as Secre-
tarp for that period to make out an ac-
count of receipts and expenditures from
February Is. 1870, to April Is, 1870,
which Re did and Is before US. By COM
pairing that account of Schaefer with the
accoun of the respective banks there
appears to be a balance on deposit, April
Is, 1870. in favor of said Trustees in the
Savings Deposit Bank of $7924S And
on over draft in First National Bank OF
$2,400 OF; when in fact the books of the
banks on the 18th day of April, 1870, pre-
sented the following:
On deposit in Savings Deposit Bank-..---S775 "a
Oyerdraft in First National Bank....-..-.....2y33I &c
IL III OuI III 0AoC4CHdlSN IL ANC
made out an entire account from the be-
ginning May 10, 1869, to April Is, 1870,
which is herewith filed, showing all mon
les received, paid out, to whom, when,
and in each and every instance the amount.
1t appears that said discrepancy with the
accounts of the Savings Deposit Bank,
occurred, by creditIng the First National
Bank with a check in 1avor of Geo. Vol
for 500 when the same was drawn on
and paid by the Savings Deposit Bank
and The remainder of the discrepancy, by
mistake in adding up monthly prior &C,
counts, the only difference now being
thirty-ive cents in favor of the Savings
Deposit Bank, for which sum said trus-
tees are c~hargeable. In regard to the diff
fe' ence Of over draft in the First Nationa
Bank as stated in the first account from
February Is, 1870, to April Is, 1870. a!
being $2,400 OF and the accounts on the
books of said 1st Bank showing an over
draft of only $2,33l So.
This difference occurred as follows: SaiC
bank is credited by said Schlefer as Secre
tarv upon the books OF said trustees witt
check drawn in favor of the P. F. w. 1
C. R. R Company for $6l 66. and with
check in favor of said Wolf, as stated, o
500, which check in favor of SAT- Rail
road company was never presented to, no
paid by First National Bank. The checl
likewise of said Wolf Was never presente,
to, nor paid by said bank.
With these changes the account of sal,
Schaefer from the beginning May 10, '6e
to April Il, 20, as compared with tn
books of said banks, checks, and balance
are the same, and with the exception
named we find the account correct.

THE LAC N

Prophetic, or not. Wendell Phillips. in
an article in the National Standard, last
week, on the acquisition of San Domingo,
says:
when we annex the eastern half oi
San Domingo we annex a war with Hayti,
What a war with Hayti means. the First
Napoleon can tell. He sent 10000
men only 1000 ever saw france again
The same fate, the same disgust await US,
We could buy two Cubas with the cost Of
one year Of such warfare"
He also claims it extends our frontier,
and in case of war, would weaken US
alarmingiy. He might have said some
thing of Grant & Co.'S. land grab schemes,
shipping docks, copper mines. railroad
lines, &c. Besides, these gentry have nc
fears Of war, as they made themselves
what they are in wealth and fame by
means OF intestine and bloody war.

The San Domingo letters from the Com
mission, say that the people are generally
favorable to annexation, but the Haytien
end of the island is unalterably opposed
to any such step; in fact, to such an ex-
tent does this opposition run that is is
believed the Haytian Government is sup
porting Cabral, the revolutionary leader.
This is substantiating the view Mr.. Sum-
ner took, and as it seems correct, there
al hardly be any doubt that if we annex
San Domingo. we accspt with it a war
with Hayt. Whether this country is
prepared for any operations of that nature,
remains to be seen when the question
comes officially before Congress.
