THE MAINE ELEcTloN.-A gain of
5000 in Maine, at the election held
last week, is conclusive evidence
that the people are not slow to man
ifest their appreciation of the course
of the administration, wherever op-
portunity offers. Honesty and ca
pacity in the administration of pub
lie affairs, have won the confidence
of the masses, and especially when
brought in comparison with the glar-
ing dishonesty which has marked
the Tammany Democracy. The ma
iority for Gov. Perham, is 1000.

But, seriously, is it not time that
a stop should be put to this kind Of
rapacity in public officers? Laws
are made for the protection OF the
people and not for their oppression,
and if they choose to have recourse
thereto, for the vindication of their
rights, no species of oppression
should be tolerated. The cost of
legal proceedings have many times
obliged men to suffer wrong rather
than have recourse to the law design
ed for their protection; as a measure
of relief and a guard against exhor-
bitant charges, laws have been pass
ed establishing the rates to be
charged, and an officer violates his
duty and oppresses those who invoke
the law the moment he makes an un-
warranted charge. If he will do this
thing in one case, there is no relia.

THE Democratic Speakers don't
seem to possess a great ability for
making connections, or else they
are so thoroughly disheartened that
like McCook they have become sick
and retired from the contest. Dur

failed to fill his appointments else

A TANIMANY SHERIFF,

Mr.. DDIToR:-The glory of hav-
ing Democratic officers who look at
the public as a fat goose to be pluck
ed clean and sucked dry, is not con-
fined to the city Of New York. We
have a Sheriff who has the same sub
lime Indifference to what is lawful OF
unlawful mine or thine, which dis
tinguishes Hall, Connolly, Tweed d
Sweeny. Ifhe does not grab mil
lions it is not because he don't want
to, but because there are no millions
to grab. Let the people of the coun-
ty look on the picture below, and
say whether such a man as this ex.
hibits himself shall again be Sheriff
of Sandusky county.
In the case of j. Holbrook as
Trustees of York Township, Sheriff
Young charged fees $S2,20. The
correct charge would be $38,75. He
compromised on $50.
In the case of H. Thomas VS. p. F.
Thomas, for divorce Tony's charges
we're 1862. He finally took $40
ooh! what a fall was there my coun.
try men"
In the case of C. Miller VS. J.
Miller, he charged and received
$14n. The legal charge would
have been $3.50.
In the case of P. Beaugrand VS. D.
Lee ct al. Toney swelled up his bill
to $93,S5, but the Court punctured
the bag and it shrank to $66,0S.
In the case of Geo. j. Marie vs. E.
Kohler, Toney's bill was $50,6O
His legal charges would have been
$3S,6O.
In the case of Eliza Eek VS. Y. j.
Eek, Toney charged 1920. His
lawful charge would have been $I,45
In another case, between the same
parties, Tony charged $6,2Owhen he
was only entitled to $I,45. OH
Tony; there was great cry and little
wool. If the Ecks had kept on sue
ing each other, and Tony had
doubled up on them every time
either they would have busted OF
he would.
In the case of Thomas Keefe VS.
Peter Rock, Sheriff Young, for the
same work, charged 1866 fees, for
which Russell, in his time received
s9,2R.
In the'case of H. Thomas VS. P. f
Thomas, above specified, TONY
TRAVELLED NINE HUNDRED
MILES IN ONE DAY. Now, as he
swears that he did it we will not un.
dertake to deny it. We only say
that a Sheriff a0ho can traUel 90C
miles in one day is too much for So
small county as 6S;o,:.9oHllllstV. We
think his ambition should carry him
to some other field. Neither oul
roads, our consciences or our pock
cts, can stand such Sheriff as that.

THE GREATEST PEAT of the Nine
teenth Century has been achieved by
the remarkable Sheriff of Sandusky
County. He has accomplished the
unparalleled drive of 900 miles in
one day-at least he charged at that
rate for fees, in a certain case, which
he afterwards settled for $40 "rather
than make a fuss about it," when
the man refused payment. Hence
forth he will not only be known as
the greatest driver which the times
have developed, but as the champion
discountist Of the period, he having
accepted $40 for a claim ofover $40.
Oh! Toney. A mule team could not
make such a drive as that!

Here is one of the best stories
from the Grand Army Journals
Camp Fire for this week:
"When the Army of Potomac was
building Notifications before York
town, General Mcclellan made an
inspection tour. When passing the
headquarters of the til Massachu-
sets the sentinel made The usual
'present." Mcclellan looked at him
for moment, and said, "That's a
rusty musket for soldier to carry"
To which the sentinel proudly re-
piled, II know it is General" but if
you'll step into my tent I'll show
you a spade so bright you can see
your face in it" Spades were trumps
in those daVs.

suits. He has been travelling over
the country continually since the

faithful, frequently induces a lachry-
NAL shower. But it will not do.
Salt will not save him, nor Saltpeter

His charges for fees have been out

gone nightly, and is growing pool
over the long drives he takes, he ha:
not yet been able to repeat the 9O(
mile drive, in one day, which hii

The reason is, perhaps, tina
his owner has no one to chargt
it to except himself, and he can't Sc,

The Politioal ontIook.

The general results of the Maine election, in
their bearings upon the impending Presiden-
tiaI contest correspond with returns from Cali
fornia They embrace a popular Endorsement
of General Grants administration which can
not be misinterpreted in reference to the Pres
idential succession. They show that on the
Atlantic coast as on the Pacific seaboard the
Administration is a tower Of strength to the
Republican party, which the Democracy in
their present demoralized and disorganized
condition cannot shake while The figures Of the
August elections in North Carolina and Ken
tucky indicate that the prevailing public sem
timent of the interior of the country is in ac-
cord with that of our western and eastern ex-
tremities. Indeed we have seldom, during the
last forty years, had a better showing than
this for The party in power in the local cleo
tions of che year next preceding that of the
Presidential contest In 1867, our political

LEE Kew YORK muddle oontinu

The New York muddle continues
to excite the people of that misgov-
erned city. To add to the discom-
future of Tammany, a row has oc-
Cured between Hall and Connolly,
which is likely to end in full ex-
pose of the rottenness of the ring.
Mayor Hall had offered the Comp
troller's position to General Nc
Clellan, but he declined to accept.
The Citizens and Supervisors Com
mittee talk of commencing criminal
and civil suits against various par
ties. A. H. Green has been ap-
pointed Comptroller, but is not re-
cognized by the Mayor any more
than is Connolly. All is not lovely
in the Democratic quarters of New
York city.
