the election of Seney was the result
of their indifference, will not stand
the test of investigation. The en-
tire vote polled by Toledo at last
falPs election was 1926. At the
election for Judge, the vote was S,265
OF 80 votes more than was polled
last fall, showing that at least one
half of those who voted with the
Republicans last fall, voted this
spring with the Democracy, and are
alone responsible for the defeat Of
our ticket, as otherwise Judge Fitch
would have been elected. Again it
says:
eThe fact that Sandusky, usually Repub-
ican city, gives Seney 400 majority, and that,
as stated by the Register, prominent Repub-
Tcsns worked, persistently worked for Seney,"
indicates the view of this matter entertained
among those in whose names the wrong was
committed; and on several accounts we are not
sorry that thsy have made record of their SEN
sinents IN the case. 1t is further significant
fact, that in Fremont, which town was second
only to sandusky in the operation, it was re-
pudiated in majority of 500 We are the
more satisfied with these two facts, in consid-
Grafton Of the tendency they will have to-
ward future condition of harmony in the
District, which otherwise could not have been
expected and it is with the hope Of aiding in
such object, that We have been thus definite
in the statement of the case. The Repubh-
cans of Lucas earnestly desire and will seek
peaeeabls relations with their friends in other
counties; but they can hardly be expected to
seek peace which has no better basis than
standardization"
Ifthe superior modesty and vir-
tue of the Toledo community is not
sufficiently demonstrated by the
above, friend WaggOneE will doubt
less ventilate it still more. The fact
is patent that by their votes they
have demonstrated their attachment
to party harmony full as well as
when, in Convention; they arrogant
ly claimed the right to dictate the
choice of the Convention, and should
they sometimes "feel the halter
draw" they may have 8 good opin-
ion of the law" and we opine they
will be as Just as now they are vir-
tuous, and admit that sin considera-
ton of the tendency it viii have to-
ward a future condition Of harmony V
in the District" it will be truly com
mendable. If the result of the re.
cent election has taught lesson,
as the Commercial would indicate,
may it not be that the result of the
Convention has also conveyed an
instruction Lucas County would do
well to profit by, and when she again
meets her peers in Convention, meet
them as equals entitled to the same
rights and consideration as itself,
and not as mere vassels to execute
its dictation. viii the Commercial
see that it learns it?

"For WAYS that are DARK.


and tricks that are yain," the hea-
then Chinee may be peculiar" but
for obtaining names to a memorial
to the Board of Public Works, the
Superintendent of the State Road,
may be classed as his equal. We
are assured that anumber of persons
whose names were attached to the
memorials we published last week,
never even saw, much less signed any
such paper. And that the names OF
numerous others were obtained TO a
paper without any heading, with the
understanding that it was only in
tended to represent TO the Board
that work had been done on the
road, and nothing was mentioned
either about its past or present con-
dition, and that the heading to the
memorial was afterwards written and
made to express different senti-
ment from that which they under
stood was intended. If such is re-
ally the case, and we have no reason
to doubt it, those memorials should
be entitled to no weight with the
Board, and a proper representation
of the facts should be made TO that
end. 1t should also be O warning TO
all parties to sign no paper without
heading, and not then until they
have read it, and understand what
they are signing.

No. 2O7. Lucia G. Sessions vs.. Abraham B.

Pleas of Defiance county.
McIlvane, J. Held:
Ist. The act of May /, 1862, entitled "an
ect to provide for locating, establishing and
constructing bitches, drains and water courses
IN townships" is not repGgnant to the Constl-
tuition Of the State IN so far as its provisions
relate to the taking Of private property for
township bitches, when the public health, con-
venlennce or welfare demand 1t; nor in 50 far
ss its provisions relate to the mode of compen-
satiDg tho owner fer property taken fer the
public use; nor is so far as its provision relate
70 the assessment of the coast and expenses Of
constructing the ditch upon lands benefited
thereby.
2. The power Of the Trustees to levy assess
ments under the statue is derived from the
Legislature under the general grant of the
Legislative power TO the General Assembly,
and under the 7th section, 10th article of the
Constitution, which declares that Commission
erF OF Counties and Trustees Of townships, and
similar boards, shall have such power OF local
taxation for public purposes as may be pres
cribed by law.
3. The construction of drains by townships
in cases were the public health, convenience
of 'pubic purposes"
4. The fling of a bond with the Township
Clerk, and the giving Of notice to tho owners
Of land along the route of the proposed ditch,
as required by the I'd section are conditions
precedent to the jurisdiction Of the Trustees to
| hear and determine the petition.
5. The power to assess the cost and expen-
/ Sos Of constructing the ditch upon the lands
beIeftted is dependent upon the jurisdiction
of the Trustees to locate and establish the
ditch.
s. The omissions to file the bond and give
the notice as required by the I'd section are
not cured by the provision of the 56th section
Of the act Of May 9th, 1868. Such defects IN
the proceedings are jurisdictional, and not
merely technial.
I. The remedies provided for by the sup
Elementary act of April 18th, 1870, apply only
