tnued humiliation and degradation
Of the white people of the South
the strongest bond of union and COM
munion in the Republican party. This l
could not do without a violation of the
pledges / made during my canvass.
Could j, by adding my vote to the Demo-
cratic vote in the House, redeem my
pledges made to my constituents, and
fail to do it because a majority of the
Republican caucus decreed otherwise, I
would be Unfaithful to my pledges and
unworthy the confidence of an enlightened
constituency. "
To be thus controlled by majority,
would but be placing myself in the condi-
ton of being elected as ''free- trader
and '1iberalist" and voting in the inter-
est of 'protectionists" and proscrip-
tionIsts.
If the Republican party has no higher,
nobler, nor more exalted mission, aim,
and purpose, than the taxing of the PEG
pie of the West for the benefit of the aris-
tocrats and monopolists of the East, and
the continued degradation and humilia-
ton of the white people of the South, then
l must confess that am at q loss to see
how myself and my liberal Republican
friends in my district, who agree with
me in sentiment, can consistently longer
affiliate or act with it. Respectfully,
yours, @ ]. G. BLAIR.

Tm Germans do not take kindly the
Presidents method of subordinating
everything and everybody to his own
win. Carl Schurz's paper, the St. Louis
Westliche Post, has an editorial headed:
"Dictator Grant," in which it charges
the President with being too stupid for
his position with being boundlessly
grsspiDg both for presents and power;
with having inaugurated a course of
party management which leads thought
full men to ask whether we are still in the
possession of republican institutions.

Internal Revenue, and Attorney General
Alderman both sent 8 communication 10
the Radical caucus of Congressman,
depressing the proposed military domin-
alton in the South, as contemplated by
the Butler bill and other like projects,
and have recommended the passage of a
law authorizing the employment of a
revenue police 20 assist in destroying
Illicit distilleries, etc., and to generally
aid collectors in the collection of revenue,
the police officers to be selected from
resident citizens in the community where
they are required to act. Pleasanton and

soldiers in the collection of revenue, or to
calling in the military arm until all re-
sources of civil power are entirely ex-
haugted.

Horribly Mutilated by Dogs.

A lad of eight or nine years, son of
Mr.. Birch, owner of q tannery in
Camp Washington, was terribly in
jured last evening by a pack Of dogs
in his father'G lanyard. 1t appears
that the little fellow had gone Within
the inclosure in which the dogs were
lodged, while on his way TO call his
father, and stopped to play with a
litter ofpups. He was first attacked
by the mother of the pups. when the
whole pack of dogs, seven in number,
set epon him, throwing him into the
mud, pulling all his clothes off him.
and tearing big chunks of flesh out of
his hips and buttocks, lacerating his
face and neck, and speedily reducing
him to q black and bleeding mass of
almost shapeless humanity. When
finally discovered, by laborers, the
dogs had almost completed their
awful work. Several of the men start
cd off for their guns, but one of them
had the courage to jump in with a
club and drive them away from theii
now inauimate and apparentlr lifeless
little victim. TO such an extent had
the beasts mutilated the child, that
not until Ire had been taken TO the
drug store and bathed could he be
recognized. Last night there seemed
to be no hope of his recovery. The
dogs were killed. Cincinnati Com

| The Tiffln Tribune .hus comments
on the action of the. recent Demo
cratic Convention and Judge Motifs
Judicial course:
When the convention met, White
ly intended to secure the nomination,
supposed that he had fixed the ropes
so IS to be sure oft. Upon looking
over the ground, he found that he
had no chance and he threw all the
force he could muster to Jackson. 81
Now to the reason of the nomina-
ion of such D man as Abner NJ Jack.
son-commonly called Setback.
Seneca's part init is explained as
follows: Judge Pillars is not liked,
and the "two term role" was broken
that he might be slaughtered when
he came before the next convention
for denomination That is reason
first.
Reason second Is found in the fact
that Seneca wanted to heal all differ
ences with Crawford, with a view Of
getting its assistance to nominate w.
T. Noble for Congress at the next
Congressional election.
A general reason of the action may
be found in the extreme hatred Of the
Democratic lawyers, in all the coun.
ties, toward Judge Mott. When
Mott first entered upon his duties as
Judge, there was general disposi-
ton on the part of these lawyers to
impose on him and use him as tool
in fact run his court. This attempt
to make him subservient to their will
was met by him as it deserved to be,
and the gentlemen were forced to ac-
knowledge his power and treat him
with respect. Efforts of this kind
were made whenever he held court,
and failure to achieve success en-
bittered these men against Mott and
vengeance was sworn against him.
They have had their ,evonge in so
far as they defeat Judge Motifs re-
nomiL ation; but he can rest assured
that the people are his friends. We
believe that t. has been no Judge
in this district for wears whose con-
duct on the bench has net with great
er approval from the people. He has
been just and upright and rendered
his decision honestly, according to
his judgment, regardless on the opin- !
ions of interested Democratic law
yers. For this he is thrown over
board, and a man nominated that it
is supposed can be used. The peo-
pie were for Mott. and Tire lawyers
against him.
The candidate Tonninated-Jack-
son stands relatively as the Demo
cratic lawyers says Mott does. They
claim that Mott is no iawyer-is
Jackson any better? We are salts
fed that he is not-he never was q
lawyer, and never will be, if he livess
20 the age ofthe "oldest inhabitant.
He is very clever. social lellow,-
.oo social for his own goodwill
strong voice. He also has an i'm
nense amount of wind concealed
within his body that fur
lishes a never failing po Eer to give
iorce to his voice. The foregoing,
With ponderous dody, is all there is
If Jacksoa-whether or not that Is
sufficient for a first class Judge, we
cave for the people to decide.

Reducing the Public Debt.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued tabular statement showing
the present condition of the Public
Debt and the monthly exhibits since
the lst of March, 1869. The total debt
on the 1st of August. less cash in the
Treasury, was S2,2S2,32S,S579 90,
showing reduction during July of
SS,70l .967 80, decrease during the
five months of S37.379,9SS.94, and q
total decrease since March 1st 1869,
of 3242, ,134, ,4020S. The monthly in-
terest charge on the 1st of August,
1871, was SO, 1902, ,345 so. being a de-
crease since Ma: ch 1st, 1869, of 81.
23O.117, and a decrease in the anual
interest charge of S14,76 ADA.
During 1869, the monthly state
ments showing the greatest amount
of reduction were those of June Ist
and Ju'y 1st; in 1870 those of July
1st, and August Ist, and in 1871 that
of April 1st. The heaviest reduction
was in the statement of July 1st. 1870,
when the decrease was S20,203,772.
If the rate of reduction should be
in the exact proportion Of the de-
crease shown by the present August
statement, or according to the month
ly average since March Est 1869, the
debt would be wiped out in less than
twenty-three years. To accomplish
this, in fact. would require less pay
ments monthly than the sum for Au-
gust, by the amount of steadily de
creasing interest charge.
This, it should be born in mind,
has been under what the Democracy
call wasteful' and "eXtravagant"
Republican Administration, and this
too when the burden of taxation has
been repeatedly lightened.-Cleceland

A Young woman calling herself

A young woman calling herself
ChaIlotte Prentice, and hailing from
Painesville. Ohio, was stricken with
paralysis, few days ago, at the Day
ton depot Her case attracted much
sympathy. And as she was poor,
and without money, she was carefully
conveyed to hotel, where she re-
ceived every attention that her deli
cate situation required, and when she
was so far recovered as to lie able to
travel, she was supplied With a purs c
by liberal, sympathizing friends. and
sent on her journey home to Paine .
VILE. A letter addressed to Deacon
rayne of that p ace, by a person who
doubted the young woman's story,
brought the information, on Tuesday:
that she is wandering adventure
who is playing the paralysis dodge to
make money.

Judge COrWin.

We understand that both parties in
this judicial district have accepted the
recommendation of the editor of this
paper, made early last spring, and
will place the name of Judge Ccrwin
on their respective tickets, without
the action of conventions, as the peo-
pies candidate for Judge Of the Com
mon Please Courts. This is one of
the highest compliments that could be
paid to an officer, and we are sure
that Judge Corwin has won this tri-
butte from the people for his great
ability and for his impartiality and
oourtesy while on the bench, and for
his promptness and fidelity in the
execution of his arduous duties.
There is but one opinion in this
county on this subject, and we have
expressed it in this article. What say

In our issue of May 30th, 1867,
speaking of our neighbor, Hon. c. R.
Mott, We said:
1t is with pleasure that we an
nounce the fact that Judge Mott gives
good satisfaction to our people, by his
honest, impartial and conscientious
rulings. On the bench he knows no
party, friends or enemies, and moth
ing can sway him from what his con.
science and heart dictates to be right.
Persoally. he is man of high moral
habits, and we never saw him enter
any of our numerous drinking saloon,
which are SO much the resort of Che
leaders of his party. Although Mr..
NJ. belongs to party for which we
have neither sympathy or respect, yet
We will speak truth and accord to him
the honor and respect which is due
him.

A Word for Book Borrowers,

Those who have collected books and
whose goodnature has prompted them
to Accommodate their friends with
them will find sting of an answer
which a man OF wit made to one who
lamented the difficulty which lie found
in persuading his friends to return the
volumes which he had lent them.
Sir" said he, "your acquaintances
find, 1 suppose, that it is much more
easy TO retain the books themselves
than what is contained in them"
There is nothing more mean and un-
kind than to borrow books ofpersons
and to lose them through carelessness,
as is frequently the case. If your
friend gratifies your request in lend
ing-if, by so doing, he saves you the
expense of purchasing-or if, also, by
the loan, you gain considerable in
formation. or intellectual proft-it is
base and ungreatfrl for you to suffer
that hook to be injured, or not return
it. There are plenty of people who
are guilty of this crime-for it is a
species of stealing-who, perhaps,
never think of it in that light.
