Attempted Burglary and Murder
Near North Liberty The Burg
lar Shot and Captured.


A few days since young German, of
this city, named Fritzer, while engaged
in grubbing land with another German,
near North Liberty, was approached by
the latter with proposition to murder
and rob Vincent Bulla, son of w. F. Bulla.
At first Fritzer refused to entertain the
proposition but afserward seemingly as
sented to it and arrangements were made
to carry it out last Monday night. On
Sunday Fritzer informed Mr. Bulla of the
matter and advised the latter to make
preparations to defend himself and capture
the would be murderer. Fritzer said they
would come to the house at twelve o.
clock, that he was to remain on the stair
way to watch while the German, armed
with a heavy cane, was to go on to the
sleeping room of Mr. Bulla, kill him, and
then get the money.
On the night in question, enc or two
friends of Mr. Bulla came to his house to
aid him and stationed themselves in the
room up stairs. About half past eleven a
noise was heard at the door and shortly
afterward the German was heard creeping
up the stairway. When nearly at the top
he raised himself up and Mr.. Bulla fired
at him. He fell down stairs and ran out
of the house. The rest followed after him
and he, not needing their demands to
halt, was again fired at, fell to the ground
He was secured, brought into the house,
and on examination it was found that one
shot had taken effect in his bowels. and the
other in his head. Physicians were sent
for who pronounced the wound in his
bowels serious, if not fatal one. Yes
terday morning he was taken before
Justice at North Liberty and committed

this city, in the afternoon, where he is

tiOn
Mr., Bulla had recently sold his wheat
and the German supposed that the money
obtained for it was in the house. When
speaking to Fritzer about killing Bulla,
he said he had done such things before.
There is no doubt that Bulla would have
been killed if Fritzer had not pretended
to become an accomplice of the German
and thereby obtained information of his
plans.-S B. Register.

Inc FaotorYs in Operation.

II is practice with candida tes Of a certain
character, for Office, TO deposit money on and

1t is sad to reflect that we have men so debased

the lamentable fact. Whisky we know is Dem

A Self-Made Man.

We are in receipt of The Jackson Sen tine !, an
Iowa Democratic paper, in which we find the fol-
lowing honorable mention of II. ?. GAGE, Esq. d,
our worthy Republican candidate for State Sen
ator from this District. This tribute of respect
is entitled to more than ordinary credit, coming
as 1t does from political opponent
We npuce that the Republican Convention of
the XXXllld Senatorial District of Ohio, com
posed OF the counties of Lucas, Fulton, Henry
Wood, Putnam and Hancock, has nominated for
Senator, II. J. Gage, Of Findlay. While inaex-
IDLY opposed to the political view Of tue man, yet
AN intimate personal acquaintance with Mr..
Gage, extending through many years. impeIs ms
to say that as mau and citizen he has few equals
and no superiors. Heis, too, an emphaticaly
self-made man, who has risen from the humber
walks of life, solely by his own unaided exertions
until to-day 1t may be safely asserted that ne
stands better before the people of his district
than almost any man in it, Although, under the
circumstances, it cannot be eXpec ed that we
should desire the success Of Air. Gage in this po-
litical contest, yet we cannot be charged with
want of feallY to our own party in rendering this
justly deserved need of praise TO a man whose
record is so entirely free from blemish, radical
though he be. With our knowledge of him in
private life and business relations we can but
regret that his uuiOrtunats poltica affiliations
prevents us from speaking even still more warm.
respect alike for his sterling integrity, indOmita-
BILE energy and social qualities.
H. lSI9 Mr.. Gage emigrated to the then newly
discovered Eldorado of California, young man
with no capital but his own good sense and cor
rect business principles, and in a few years he
had acquired handsome competence, every dol
lar of which had been earned by honest, legiti-
mate toll. Returning home in 1853, he engaged
| in private banking, an occupation TINT he has
since pursued with marked success. During
this time, however, his fellOwc ctizcns, irreSpec.
tive of party, have manifested the high estima-
tion ia which he is held. by calling him to fill a
number of minor offices OF trust, during all OF
which no breath of suspicion has ever attached
| IN his official integrity.
! Although comparatively wealthy, yet, unlike
most men OF that class, his liberality and gener-
osity in private charity and public enterprises
| have only been measured by the extent Of hs
ability To give, and many young and strug-
Cling business man aud distressed debtor haYe
reason to bless the generosity Of Mr.. Gage.
The Republicans Of the 33d District have made
a wise selection in this nomination, and paid a
justly deserved compliment TO one Of the best
citizens the Buckeye State can boast of. We
know not who his opponent for legislative hon
0rs may he, nor what his chances for election,
but should he be 50 unfortunate, he will certain
Iy incur no disgrace in being beaten by man
who stands 50 deservedly high as II. L. GaEe.

The Main IssCe.

The main issue Of the present campaign, to
which the Democrats are making all others sub
seryient, is that of securing majority in the
General Assembly of Ohio. The motive to their
action arises from the fact that the next Legis-
Iative body will elect United States Senator
and also rearrange the several Congressional
Districts of this State. These objects to the
Democrats are of vital consequences, as by the
election of a Democratic associate with Senator
THURMAN the legislative action of The whole
hody of Ohio Representatives in the lower House
supposlng them to be wholly Republicans, would
10 a great extent be wholly nulfified; therefore
each Senator elected is nearly equal for good, OF
for evil, with one.halfof the Congressman ofthe
State.
Fhe rearrangug of the several counties ot
this State into Congressional Districts will also
devolye on the next General Assembly. Should
the Democrats perform that duty, they would
uuquestionaby, without much regard to geo
graphical relations, concentrate the strong Re-
publican counties into districts by themselves
aud thus without regard to a popular Republi
can majority in the State they would probably
secure, at will, at least half or two-thirds o.
the Ohio Congressional delegation.
These are the OBJ ects for which the Democrats
nre now contending. To attaIn them they are
resortng to every species ofintrgue and arlidce
The Prohibition moyementi the personal Difficult
ties existing among Republicans throughout th'
State and in Wood county an attempt wiil b(
made to excite the latent prejudices which arOs
from the county seat controversy. All and ev
cry means will be used to attain their ends, will
the belief that the end sanctihes such means.
Republicans of Wood county, of Perrysbur
township more particularly, stand firm at tn
rost Of duty. Do not allow your better judgmen
and your sense of duty to this State and to lh
Republic to be perverted by sophistry and pros
tiiuted to prejudice. Let there be genera

give JouS Nouns and the Senatorial candidate
a rousing majority, to which they are justly en-
titled.
Also, make every ballot count for the count
ticket. The Republicans in convention assem-
bled never placed before the voters Of WOO
county a better ticket for their support, aud on
that was more fairly nominated.

Temperance and Politics.

Wsare a member Of temperance organiza
ton and greatly desire the success Of the tenn
perance enterprise, because we believe Il Is CAL
culated to promote the best inlerests'of society
particularly Of the rising generation y yet we
ever have been and still are opposed to making
il political issue. But while thus opposed, we
wish none but sober men electedm Offices Of
trust and responsibility. In tue hands Of no
others, can the affurs Of the people be placed
with an assurance Of security. man ia the
habit of getting intoxicated, may do many things
we'll, but he is liable whenever in his cups, to
say or do foolish and injurious things, and we
never yet knew one TO fail doing so. No bust
ness was ever safe, nor ever will be, in the care
Of person in the habit Of getting drunk.
Being thoroughly convinced Of this fact, we
regret that anv portion of our people should see
Ct to organize and contribute their funds for the
purpose of electng to off ,e mln who II is ex-
pected, will aid, if successful in the manufacture
Of drunkards and the consequent decentralization
Of society. But such, unfortunately, is the case
in this county. The liquor sellers have adopted /,
IL they did not nominate, Mr.. DoDGE as their
candidate he occupies the uneuvabe position
Of their standard bearer upon the banner which
he carries, is inscribed "Free Trade in the Man
ufactnre OF Drunkards," aud in that sign they
hope to conquer. Is it possible for men to en-
gage in more base, unholy and damnable un.
dertakiug' Can the perverted passions Of man.
kind sink them to lower degrodation2
But this is the issue which the Democratic
party and the doggery keepers of the county,
have rendered to our moral, law abiding and
temperance people. To promote their enterprise
they imported their candidate for Judge to stump
the county in behalf of him who is emphatically
tho whiskey candidate, relying principally upon
the concerted and combined efforts of the rum
sellers for success. Will the issue be accepted
by the good and religious portions Of the people,
in so far at least, as to repsl this attack upon
the best and dearest interests Of society We
have advised them Of the impending danger aud
submit the consequences to their determination.
We ask all good men TO stop and think, and then
act as their judgments and consciences shall
dictate. Ifthey do so, we shalt have no fears as
to the result.

An Old Trick.

1t Is whispered in our drinking saloons that
Mr.. DODGE is preparing. for publication in pamph-
let or circular form, an attack upon he private
life aud character of his competitor, Col. SHAN
NON. We are. aware that the chron, Office seek
er is usually unscrupulous as to the means which
hetadopts to secure success, but we hesitate to
believe that even a candidate of liquor sellers,
can be guilty of an act so mean and disreputable
ms an attack upon the private character of an op-
pOuent, has ever been regarded.
If made, we venture to predict II will not be
until after court is in session, or upon the eve
of the election when the friends of Col. SHANNoN
will be too absorbed in business or it will be too
late to bestow upon it proper attention. We un-
dersland the programme to be, to place the pup
lication secretly, in the hands Of all the liquor
sellers of the county, and they to quietly slip il
into the hands of such Republicans as may fire.
quent heir doggeries. By this means, it
hoped that all Republicans who are IN the habit
of taking glass of beer or whisky will be in
duced to vote for Mr.. DODGE, being assured thai
by his election, they will be enabled to obtain
their gsog without obstruction and in unlimited
quantities. Republicans are, usually, men ol
intelligence and have formed their party aflillla-
tions upon principle, and we do not believe there
is one so low and mean that he would be willing
to barter his principles for handful of such
chat.
We have made these remarks not for the pur-
pose of deprecating the injury to Col. SHANNON
which might flow from an attack upon him by
Mr.. DODGE, but to put our friends upon their
guard so that they may not be deceived or i'm
posed ~ o by the arts aud Vaccinations of Q
reckless and dishonorabe partisan, should Mr.
DODGE prove himself to be such one. But il
is an old an worn out game, well unders.ood-al
,yays based upon fraud and falschood and it viii
not win in this instance ifattempted.
