THAT Hoo was weighed on scales at Lawtou,
which the Tribune claims as being correct, we
do not know how that is. We only stated the
facts as they came to us. But good many
people think the hog tt small for 80 great a
weight as 1880 pounds-that is they think there
s too much weight for the size of the hog, or
in other words there was too little hog for go
much weight. The owner proposes we believe,
to keep him until his size and specific gravity
shall fill the measure IN avordupolse which has
already been accorded to him

AN APPALLING RAILROAD DISASTER occurred
at New Hamburg, on the Hudson River Rail
road, on the evening Of the 9Th inst, an &C.
count OF which is gwen elsewhere. The fire.
quency Of railroad disasters has become quite
alarming, and 1t seems IL at something should
be done to abate them. The main cause Of
most OF the great disast ers will probably be
found in the terrific rate of speed at which
trains are run-rendering it impossible to ar
rest the progress of train in time to avoid
collision with trains that become disabled on
the track Let us have more reasonable rate

A RUHAwAY.-On Wednesday afternoon our
worthy townsman, I. w. Willard, Esq, left his
horse and cutter in front of the market Of E.
Martin while he was transacting some business
and during his absence the horse started up
Kalamazoo street at rather lively gait, turn
ing off on Elm street and passing over to
Gremps street, thence down Gremps to Main
street, thence up Main street TO Kalamazoo
street, where he stopped. The horse didn't
seem to be much excited, but the cutter was
a good-deal demoralized by coming in contact
with the posts and shade trees on the corners.

Insoient Dictat,on.

In the Ohio House of Representatives,
one day last week, member named
GLOVER, who contested and obtained
his seat by Negro votes and fraud, of.
fered the following in the shape of o
bill:
"To constitute the Secretary Of State,
Attorney General and School Commits
sioner a committee to determine and
prescribe the school books, ETC., to be
used in schools, the books, etc., not to
be changed more than once in three
years; the books all to be printed and
bound in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum,
under the direction OF the Superintend-
ent Of Printing, to be furnished at as
small cost as possible"
The people Of Ohio are competent to
select books for their schools without
the aid of the Ohio Legislature or any
other body Of men. And no one but a
downright ignoramus would frame and
offer SO gross an insult to the intelli-
gence Of free people. Besides. the
printing clause has strong taint of
fraud and peculation, which, in all prob.
ability, amounts to a Ring; of course
the Immaculate GLovER-R has no interest
in that!a

spmner,sOplnlon Of Grant.

A reporter of the New York Herald
interviewed Senator SUMNER one day last
week. Among other things the Senator
charged the President with having
susurped the war power" and that for
months past she had been infracting the
Constitution in the gravest manner, and
his conduct is totally indefensible."
The reporter then asked him whether
he thought GRANT knew this. Mr.. Sum
NER replied:
"He9 What does Grant know? He
doesn't know anything, sir. do not
accuse him of any knowledge whatever
He is not.a man capable of understand
ing principles or of grasping anything
Iin,a comprehensive view. He does no
understand the primary elements Of the
Constitutional requirements OF war AL
he knows is how to execute. Put hin
on horse and he'll hlunder along some
how in the field There's where his vo
cation ends"
What makes the above opinion valua
BILE is the fact that it is true and every
word brands and burns the present in
competent administration as with an iror
of white heat.

RADICAL RULE IN OHIO.
How the Peoples Money IsSquan-
dered.

From the Cincinnati Enquirers Col.
umbus correspondence of the 22d inst,
we clip the following, which should have
the effect of awakening the people to 9
sense of the shameful manner IN which
they are being swind.ed out of theil
money, by the Radical officials at Co.
lumbus
/, The appropriation bill is now pending
in the House. In discussing it, Mr..
Parr, Of Licking, has exhumed matter
which will show the taxpayers how their
money is expended A Mr.. Scofeld, Of
Cleveland, IS Architect of the new Cen
trail Lunatic Asylum now building neal
this city. The same Scofeld is also
Architect tor the Lunatic Asylum now
building at Athens. For the first nam
ed asylum he drew for the year ending
November Is, of last year, for twelve
months service, the sum Of S6,13l Is
as fees, and 1886 So as expenses. Fol
the same time this same Scofeld drew
as Architect of the Athens Asylum, fol
fees S4,666 so, and for expenses S16l
81, making his pay for one year in the
double Office he held S11,244 81.
In addition to this, Mr.. Scofield has
an assistant at the Central Insane Asy
lum. who was paid last year SLABS.
DR.. Peck, who still holds his Office a.
superintendent of the Asylum, in which
there are no patients, and will not b
for years, was paid $1,000 for the pas
year, and Mrs Peck, his wife, who, a.
Matron OF the establishment not We
built. got,and still gets, a salary of $40'
per annum, while the other current ex
penses not named run up a cool $4,000
The entire expense for experimenting
the Asylum are for plans, expenses, DC
and amounts to Sl7.269. 81, of which
more than the lions share goes to thls
man ScofeId. Such profigate expen
diture of the public money, and tn
double pay and double offices held b
one man, with assistants paid by tn
State to enable him to hold them, ough
at once to be abated. These are fe,
specimen bricks of Radical rule.

is not all that is wanted; the rognes j

On tile 18Th Of September. 1870, Mr.
WrScHEsTER introduced in Congress
resolution, which was adopted, to the
following effect:
That the Secretary furnish to the
House a report showing the balances
due from collectors of internal revenue
not then in Office. and who Of them had
been sued nm their official hontls;
This Information the Secretary of the
Treasury refused and still refuses to fur
nish.
On the 3lst OF Jannary, 1871, Mr.,
WINCHESTER asked consent TO offer q
resolution directing MIR. Boutwell, to
report to the House the cause Of his
non compliance with this resolution Of
inquiry Objection was made on the
Radical side of the House, and he was
not permitted to offer it.
Subsequently, on the 14th OF Febru-
ary, Mr.. MORGAN, of Ohio, called the
attention Of the. House to the fact that
the Secretary dcigned no reply,aud COM
mented upon-the subject with much ear
nestness Whcreupon Mr.. LAWRENCE,
Radical, also of Ohio, stated that he
would see that the information was given
satisfactorily.
Even this brought no information
from the Secretary, and on the 14th OF
March Mr. MoRGAN asked leave to in
troduce a resolution, substantially the
same as that of Mfr. WINCHESTER. In
stantly Mr.. BIsGHAN, Of Ohio, and Mr..
BurLER. of Massachusetts, sprang to
their feet, and objected, which prevented
the resolution from being offered.
All these efforts to obtain this inform
alton is perfectly well known to Secre-
|tary boutwell,, and still he conceals that
information from the public.
This persistent concealment,iuvolving
at the same time a discourtesy to- the
House, excites grave apprehensions that
