THE NEW YORK RING

The New York ring of Tammany
thieves are beingsmoked out of theil
holes. The Times of that city took
up the unpublished accounts Of the
city government and showed when
and where and how hundreds ol
thousands had been stolen. Now
the Tribune takes up the accounts
as published by the ring and shows
how these accounts have been doc
tored, how dummies have been used
10 shield the real thieves, and how,
according to the rings best showing
the people Of New York city been
tieeced, systematically, out Of mil
lions, raising members Of this ring
from poverty, to rank among the
millionaires, and all within two or
three years. One would suppose
the tax payers of New York are old
geese enjoying, on a hot day, the
luxury ofhaving their surplus feath-
ers removed.

EWING ON FINANCES.

Mr.. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, ont
of the candidates for the Democrat
ic nomination for Governor, ha.
made speech on the finance ques.
tion, which appears to give Democ
racy, in some portions of the coun
try, as much trouble as the placing
of the five per cent. loan did. Hi.
plan differs very little from tn,
Pendletonian system.
In the first place, he would have
the Government supply all the money
needed, and as it issued greenback.
it should call in and redeem the
bonds, and thus stop all interest
This would be q summary way o.
paying off the debt, and would be
equal to Dan Rice's celebrated way
of paying of his creditors, by issu
ing them notes which he never in.
tended to pay at maturity. A little
while ago we quoted our Democrat
ic contemporaries when they com
planned that "the Government had
forced a loan Of four hundred mil.
lions on the people without interest,
and now they would have the coun-
try flooded with two thousand mil,
lion dollars of this same non inter
est bearing currency,and at the same
time repudiate the obligations al
ready under to the bondholders.
Well, it is hard to follow Democracy
in their various somersets. Like a
drowning man they clutch at every
straw, hoping thereby to save them
selves from sinking.

HIhpERANcE TO NAVIGATION.

A curious hinderance to accurate

from Lake Huron. The forest fires

to put an end to Lake navigation.

been driven enthusiastically into
Pennsylvania in wedge-like form.

HIGHLY SENSATIONAL SCENE.

A most exciting scene in connec-
ton with Grady's circus was exhib-
tied at Columbus, Aug 18th. AT
the close of the afternoon perform
ance, Mr.. Charles Fisher made an
ascent in huge hot air balloon, OIL
rather the balloon went up with
Fisher dangling to a couple Of ropes
suspended below. Immediately blue
smoke was seen to issue from 9
point on the side of the balloon,
about one-third the way up from
the mouth to the top. Experienced
eyes at once detected that the bal
doom was On fire; but the aronaut
all unconscious of his danger, went
on with his frightful performances
on the trapeZe. When the balloon
was about 1900 feet in the air, the
flames were seen suddenly to burst
from its side, and simultaneously 8
cry of horror went up from the great
crowd below. Many turned away
their eyes, and one woman tainted
all expecting that Fisher would al
once meet 4 horrible death. But
whether it was that the material OF
the balloon was not very infamma.
BILE, or that the hot air in the vicini-
ty of the flame was not favorable to
combustion, certain it is that the
balloon did not burn rapidly, and
the eronaut landed in safety upon
the top Of slaughter house, near
the end of the Hooking Valley
bridge over the Scioto, while the
burning balloon lit in the river, the
waters of which speedily extin.
guished the flames. 1t was thrill,
ling scene, and one which hundreds
declared they would not witness
again at any price.

HUMBUG.

The Tribune says: Humbug dies
hard in this pig-headed world OF

hovah himself, under which our
fathers prospered so mnch and were
universally recognized as the no

How much longer are we 20 en-

mulish conversatism, by which we
mean the conversatism which has
no logical relation TO that which
still exists, but which is based not
only upon the totally extinct. but
upon something absolutely past re

M'c0oK REPORTED DERANGED.

The Louisville Courier publishes
Il letter from correspondent at
Cincinnati which says that General
McCOok, Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, will be compelled
to withdraw from the ticket as he
has from the canvass. 1t is even
said he is partially deranged, and
that his speeches at Plymouth and
Cirillicothe give color to this report

draw an effort viii be made to in
duce General Ewing to take his
place, but there are doubts of its
success.

GRANT AS A GENTLEMAN.

The article "Politics of Women
in the August number of Lippineot'
has this: ... ....
The best bred men in America are
officers in the regular army and
navy. They have been taught to
look up, to reverence authority and
to be respectful. 1t never leaves
them; they become the most digni-
fed and the most simple men in the
community. Our chief magistrate
is a very conspicuous example OF
this. Bred a soldier, raised by a
most extraordinary series of events
to our Republican throne, and hav-
ing to contend with an invincible
shyness, it is only fair to say that
our President has the best manners
in the world. Never too cordial,
always sufficiently so, never forget
ting his station, and yet never OBJ
truding it, it would be difficult to
find a man who has committed few,
er soleeisms, or who has made more
people happy by his unaffected and
simple greeting than President
Grant; and yet he is man who has
probably never thought twice on
the subject in his life. His manners
are the out-cropping of training
in school which has produced the
perfection of manners.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

On Saturday evening last, an I'M
MENsE GATHERING of a few of the
faithful convened in the Court
House, after the band had played
three or four pieces, and the old re-
liable bell sent forth its peallng
sounds into the ears of every citi.
zen Of our lively town, to hear
speech. We were not there all the
time, but our information is authen
tic. We have often heard of wolves
appearing in sleeps clothing, but
We can testify that the speaker, Mr.
S. F. Wolf appeared in his OWL
.'store clothes"
Mr.. W. is promising young law
yer who has lately located in oul
midst. We cannot say how many
lambs were devoured, but are GER
tain not many, as there were but
very few present. 1t was a very
lame affair for Democratic Millers
burg.
After the close of the main show
as is customary, the performance
commenced in the side show, which
consisted of judicial tumbling, mix
ed in with some eloquent, short ant
comical speeches, rather free ant
fierce display of muscular power
with slight mixture of scientific
foot performance.
The attendance at the side show
was much better than that of tn,
main show.

DEBT OF NEW YORK,

The New York Times publishes
additional figures about the debt
and shows that in the years from
the 3lst of December. 1866, to the
3lst of December, 1870, the total
increase was S39, ,279,17s-at the
rate of 81, ,636,632 per month. This
is five times as rapid as the debt in.
creased during the FIVE years of the
war from 1860 to 1865. From the
31st of December, 1870, to April
3lst, 1871, the debt was increased
$1O,eS5,446. A7i I g. '-i-- ... b.
This was at the rate of $2,746,.
461 month, or nine times greater
than during the war times. The
latest statement, however, is more
ruinOus to the reputation of the
city government than any official
exhibit that preceded it. From
April 30th to July 3lst, the city and
county debt has been swelled $l6,-
283, ,260-at the perfectly incredit-
able rate of 50, ,467,753 per month.
If the people desire an increase
in the public debt let the Democrat
icparty get in power. ..

people in Europe and America. In
nearly every prominent American
city banquets were given and

HUNTERS.

From correspondent, we learn
that party of seven good, staunch
democrats went out hunting (fo1
what?) some time since. They
camped, we are told, on the picnic
grounds near Hopewell, and used up
some of the boards used for tables.
What they hunted for we are no,
told, but we do learn that on the
following morning the "debris" on
the camping grounds consisted OF
''broken bottles, corks, jugs, chicken
feathers, husks, melon rinds; de-, y
scattered about in handsome profn-
sion. We also learn from said cor
respondent, who is posted, that said
party did likewise stop on the road
home-it being after dark-and Dor
rowed without leave all the pears q
certain widow woman had. This is
certainly very charitable and
ipraiseworthy act. Onethat deserves
the commendation (?) of all law
abiding people! Now it seems
strange to us that men cannot &c
from home on an excursion of that
kind without engaging in such mean
tricks.

The KENTUCKY ELECTION.

The Kentucky election, which
took place Aug. 7th, resulted in a
Democratic triumph of from twenty
to thirty thousand majority, OF
about the same as last year, when
the majority was $1,000. 30
Radical papers have a great deal
to say about Radical gains in Ken
lucky, but an inspection of the votes
cast this year and last, reveals the
fact that with the large accession OF
negro votes, the Radical party has
Jailed to appreciably reduce the
Democratic majority of the State
Stark Co. Democrat. a-.a'lL
The majority for Leslie, Demo
crat shows falling off from that
given to the last Gubernatorial can
didate of from 10000 to $4,000.
That is the fact. ...t 80 E.....- :.
So far as the large accession of
negro votes is concerned, negroes
voted last year did they not, MIR.
Democrat: And the reduction of
the Democratic majority over last
year is not far from 10000! The
fact is that Kentucky has come down
from the head of the list of Demo
cratic States to conspicuous place
among the doubtful states. Even
Lexington the old home of Henry
Clay, gave the Republican candidate
$50 majority, for the first time, which
carried the county Fayette) by

MORGAN PllLORIED AS A LIAR AND
SlANQERER. -

My attention has been called to q
statement made by General Morgan
in his speech here on the 25th, in
relation to the printing of doeu.
ments, ETC., by this committee at
Washington, in which he says that
our documents are printed at Wash
ington by the government, at re.
duced rates; that we have stolen
paper for wrapping the same; that
the time of clerks has been EN-,
ployed in directing them, and that
they are franked all over Ohio.
1t as not true, that this committee
has printed Hon. John Sherman's
speech or any other documents at
Washington.
IT'S not true, that any document
of this committee has been put up
at Washington, with as he says,
''stolen paper or that any govern
ment material has been used for
that purpose by this committee.
1t as not true, that any clerk or
government official at Washington
has given any time directing docu-
ments, or for any other purpose
connected with this committee.
1t is not true that documents, or
Mr.. Sherman's speech, were sent
out from Washington printed there
under our directions and franked to
all parts of Ohio by members of
Congress, nor is it true that the
speech of Mr.. Sherman, printed at
the State Journal Office, wrapped
by that Office for us, was sent out
under the frank of any member of
Congress; but on the contrary, post
age has been paid on every docu-
ment, letter and package sent by
this committee, save a few letters
written 10 members of Congress.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR SICK.

Col. McCook, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, has been com
PEELED by ill health TO suspend his
canvass Of the State. He does so
with great reluctance, and only up
on the earnest advice of medical
men of eminence, who say that his
system is SO prostated by his la
bors in the intensely hot weather of
the last three or four weeks as to
make rest absolutely necessary.
The meetings appointed for him will
all be held, other speakers supplying
his place.
AS soon as his health shall be suf-
fciently restored he will resume
speaking.
