Never do an unjust thing TO promote
justice; or speak an untruthful thing
TO promote truth.
Four things are gricvously empty:
A head without brains, o wit without
judgement, a heart without honesty,
and purse without money.
Inviolable fidelity, good humor and
complacency Of temper outshine all the
charms of fine face, and make the

There are two reasons why some

One is that they have no business, and

Such circumstance conveyed the idea That
ne was using the property for the purpose Of
borrowing money, and that the wife consented
TO such proceeding. The ground upon which
the demurrer was placed was that tie plaintiff
was not creditor at the time of the purchase
OF the property in the name Of his wife.
The court held that the distinction between
creditors who existed ct the time Of transfer
and those subsequent was this; Where a vol.
untary conveyance was made by a party
largely in debt, theimplication was fraudulent
as to the creditor existing, but where it clearly
appeared that party did intend TO 90 place
his property that he could use it for his own
purposes without creating liability, it was void
TO his subsequent creditors, This Is the true
rule, and there was no doubt that subsequent
creditors may interfere to set aside convey
snces if the proper facts exists. In this case a
proper case for that sort Of interference was
shown, and the demurrer would be over
ruled.

Thn state Rond.


Below we present copies Of seve-
raj memorials which were presented
by the Lessees of the road to the
State Board of Public Works and to
the Legislature, to counteract the
petitions, evidently, which had been
laid before the proper authorities,
calling for repairs of the road, and
the placing of it in proper condi-
ton. 1t is notorious that the road
has been allowed to get sadly out OF
repair, and that the Lessees have
been more anxious to "put money
In their purses" than to maintain the
road in as good a condition as it
was in when it passed into their
hands. This fact became so patent
that it called out numerous petitions
directing the attention of the Board
to the failure of the lessees to per-
form their contract, and repairs were
ordered to be made. To Offset this
action, the memorials below were pre-.
sented. It has been intimsted that
many of the names attached to the
petitions were fraudulently obtained.
or this we cannot now speak, but
from the characters of many whose
names are attached, we should Judge
the report true. We give the names,
however, as we find them, allowing
the parties to speak for themselves:
To the Hon. members eftAe General Asssss5ly
and Beard Of Public Works Of Ohio:
We, the undersigned citizen tax
of Ohio, residing along the
line of the Maumee and Western
Reserve Stone Road, represent that
we are acquainted with the present
condition of said Road, and do GER
sify that it is being kept in good re-
pair by the present superintendent,
and is in as good condition as it has
been in for years past, and its condi-
ion is being improved every wear.

The WOOD County SsStineI gives the pay
ticulars Of strange romance, which occurred
early last winter, but has Just been made
known. 1t appears that about seven years
ago, in town in Wood county, the prepara-
tions for wedding had been consumated, and
upon the day fixed all had assembled except
the bridegroom. He appeared not, neither
that day nor others that followed, neither in
formation concerning him reached the grief
stricken bride. Years passed and brought
last winter, when the missing groom appeared
to claim his waiting bride. He had been per-
suaded by his mother to leave for California
upon his wedding day, and had remained there
until that time. He claimed the object of his
love, and the wedding, which had been ia-

summers Resolutions.

We give below a synopsis Of the
resolutions introduced by Sumner,
and upon which he addressed the
Senate on Monday last:
l. That the naval forces of the
United States should be withdrawn
from the coasts of San Domingo
pending the present negotiations.
2. That the menace to Hayti i'm
piled in the presence of our war YES
sells near her coasts, is a breach of
international law, and should bedis-
avowed by our Government.
8. That as certain of our war yes
sells have entered Haytian ports, and,
under threats of instant war, re-
strained that Republic of its soyer-
eighty and independence, such scts
should be disavowed.
4. That the President, without
Congress, cannot declare war; and
that the employment Of the navy
without act of Congress, in the man
ner above recited, is a violation of
the Constitution and usurpation of
unlawful powers.
8. That no right of naval inter
ference is gained by the President
under the unratifed treaty.
6. That as the present proceed
ings toward annexation have been
conducted under the constant shad
ow of superior force and the bellige-
rent Intervention Of our navy, they
must be entirely abandoned.
7. That instead of seeking the &C
QUESTION of San Damingo, our gov
ernment should have offered its
friendly offices to promote internal
concord and smity with Hayti.
s. That as Baez is engaged in sci
ling his country, the employment of
our navy to maintain him in his
usurped power is morally wrong, and
the transaction founded upon it is
null and void.

Letter From General Sherman

CINCIEETI, March 24.-The Enquirer Of
this morning, publishes letter from Senator
Sherman, in reply to the recent allusions in
that paper, to the impression that the Senator
had made his political connections highly lu-
cratiye business. He says he is not relatively
richer, considering the increased value Of
property, than when he became Senator A
very small fraction of one million, would COW
or all he is worth, He says he never was pc
cuniarily interested in any question, bill or
matter before Congress and invites Mr.. Faran
to visit his home at Mansfield, where he would
show him all he there possessed, and render
full account OF all he had elsewhere, and if he
could not account for all, without being sus-
Pected Of receiving bribes or gifts, or stealing,
be, Faranl could repeat the baaalaSs aecuss.

We have received a communities

We respectfully decline, 1t is an at

and is evidently prompted by the
soreheads who imagine themselves

their present effort to defeat it's Can

An Outrageous affair occurred at
Mount Union, Stark County, short
time since. Some misanthropists
set on foot a measure to have Mrs.
Elisabeth Benton and her children
taken to the poor house. Accor-
dinghy the trustees of the township
proceeded to the house.. and despite
her protestations against such in
human conduct, tore them from
comfortable home, and started for
the poor house. Before reaching
there, however, some kind hearted |
gentleman heard of the outrage and |
interfered. He succeeded in resto-
ring the family to their home, where
was found abundance for their main
$ensnce. The wretches who sought
thus to break up household where
honest industry supplied the wants
Of the family, should be banished
from the society of their fellows, as
too contemplate for association.
AAd what a power of discernmeRt
those trustees must have possessed.

THE SENATE of Kentucky has re-
pudiated the claims of the Union
soldiers of that State who enlisted
and served during the war. The
State refuses to recognize their
claims as valid, although they
have been audited by the Quarter
master General and pronounced by
him just and due. One can see
from this action of the Democratic
party what value to attach to the
usual buncomb Of Democratic State
conventions, in asttering the Union
soldiers with cheap resolutions.
When it comes to paying claims
which are acknowledged to be just
and due, the Democracy prove true
TO their past record as repudiators.
