SANDUsKY had an exciting Thurs
day The Register devotes two col
umns to the account of the fires Of
that day, which fortunately amounted
to little in the aggregate, but kept
that small city stirred up from the
wharf TO the prairie. The first alarm
was at 80 A. NJ, a dwelling house,
which was partially burned While
the news mongers we're discussing
that fire, after its extingnishment,
there was q second alarm, and the fi-e
was in livery stable near the Regis
ter Office. The Waechter Hotel took
fire, bat was saved; the stable was
burned. While this fire was under
way, the house of the chief engineer
took fire, but the flames very easily
extinguished. A spark from loco
motive set store door on fire. but
that was put out very soon. Besides
these actual fires there were a score
of rumors of fires, and abont three
o'clock the schools were dismissed,
ana the lawyers and clients made
stampede from the court house, and
the city was in q general commotioD.
The rumor peddlers had busy time.
They started and circulated the story
that Sandusky and Oberlin were TO
be burned. (We suppose the first
was 10 be burned because it makes so
much wine, and the last was to be
burned because it drinks no wine y

Commend US to such preachers as
the Rev. Robert Collyer of Chicago.
His congregation gathered on and
about the ruins of their church on
Sunday, and Mr.. Collyer mounted a
stone which had fallen from the cor
nice, for his pulpit. After preaching
a short but touching sermon. with no
whines or snivels, he concludes as
follows:
alt was day Or two before 1 be-
gan to look about and think with my
self what could say to these, my
children. At last it came to me II
one word-and this is what l have
to say about it. If you will stay By
me l will stay with you; if you will
work with me will work with you,
and we will make the best fight we
can against this adverse situation. l
am not going to be a burden to you.
You cannot find cheaper man any
where than l will be preached
seven years for seventy five cents a
year. 1 won't take any more than
that if you can't spare any more. l
don't mean to task Unity Church, but
1 mean to stick by you if you will
stick by me. Never fear for me, l
can get along well enough. People
will give me more for a lecture than
they will give some folks, and if the
worst come to the worst, l can make
as good horse shoes and nalls as any
man in Chicago"

On Monday evening last Governor
Hoffman received, at Albany, sub
committee from the committee OF
Seventy from New York city. ard
gave them hearing. The sub COM
mittce, through its chairman, made a
recital of the facts that frauds and
abuses had been committed, and ask
ed that the Governor should use the
power in his hands to arrest these
evils and protect the people of the
State. They also pointed out to him
the danger of riots and disturbances
of the peace resulting from these
frauds and abuses, and their exposure,
and asked for military forceas might
be necessary TO preserve good order.
The Governor assured the committee
that no effort of his SHOULD be spared
to maintain peace and protect the
rights CT the people.
Tammanp lost Hoffman as tool
when they came in collision with him
during the Orange riots last July, and
they have but little hope from him.
They thought TO throw him overheard
and get rid OF a dangerous popular
man who vas not always disposed TO
follow their dictations, but he gained
strength in other quarters, and now
has them at a disadyantage.-O. s

Happy.

The leaders of the Democracy in
this city are hugely delighted over
Jackson's election as Judge. From
election day until the vote was count
ed out on Tuesday last they were fig
uring and discussing the probabilities
Of Jankson's election and defeat.
This question engrossed their atten-
ton to such an extent that the stand
ing ofthe State Legislature was mat
ter of no importance. Why this was
so, may be explained by their anxiety
to have Jackson out of the way when
the nomination of a candidate for Con-
gress was in order. There are several
aspirants for that position in this
city, and Jackson would be iu their
way were he not elected Judge They
knew that ii he was beaten in Conven-
tion for Congress he would bolt as he
did once before, and then all was up
with our "lucky" fellows. For this
was the anxiety, and for the same is
the hoppiness expressed.-Jackson
is off the track, Crawford is appeased

The Judicial Election.

The Bucyrus journal was the only
Republican paper in the Judicial Dis
trict that gave the result of the cleo
ton for Judge last week.
All the others claimed the election
of Mr.. Mott by various handsome
majorities.
Papers that went to press Wednes-
day evening or Thursday morning,
might by excusable for such errors,
inasmuch as the first impression was
that NJ. Mott had been elected by
four or five hundred majority.
But before us is Republican pa
per, printed on Friday, in a county
in which Mr.. Mott ran behind the Re-
publican State ticket about 185 votes,
and behind the Republican county
ticket over 400 votes while it would
obviously have been necessary for
him to carry vote equal to the full
Republican vote in each county and
on aggregate of quite thousand over
to insure his election, yet this Repub-
lican editor stupidity announces the
election of Mr.. Mott, by a handsome
majority.
The editor of paper should at
least be among the most intelligent
and enterprising in his county, and if
this be sample of the intelligence OF
the gentleman away off it is no won
der that Mr.. Jackson ran best where
he is least known, and that while a
large portion of democracy here were
far too Intelligent to aid in electing
him, large portion of Republicans
there under such leaders did not know
enough to defeat him, probably. how
ever, they knew as much as their Re-
publican editor.--Bucyrus Journal.

some Democrats imagine. 1t means
nothing more or less than withdraw
al from the national contest bv n re
fusal to nominate presidential ticket
There being no Democratic candidate
in the field, Democrats would be free
to vote as they pleased to they need
not loose n signal vote, and they
would certainly throw all their votes
in a bulk for that candidate most
worthy to receive them In all con
tests except that for presidency and
vice presidency the Democracy would
preserve their integrity as party ::
they would have their own candidates
for Congress, for Governor, for State
and county officers, and the Legisla-
ture in each State; and this would
not only enable them to maintain their
organization unimpaired, bat it would
secure for them 4 control in closely
contested States that they do not and
can not enjyy now. The history OF
Missouri demonstrates this conclu-
sively. Before 1870 the Democracy
were in the minority in the count OF
votes now, in connection with the
Liberals. with whom they acted in
! that election, and with whom they will
act in future elections. they are in a
majority OF not less than $4,000 ;
Democrats and Liberals control the
Legislature and a majority of the
counties in the State; and the organi-
cation of the party was never moIe
compact, its spirit more liberal, nor
its satisfaction with the general con
dition of things in the State more
complete. There is no reason why
a similar integrity OF organization
may not he maintained through a
presidential contest, even with no
presidential ticket in the field; while.
on the other hand, it is probable that
the defeat of strict Democratic tick
ct in 1870 would destroy the party
forever.

WHATEVER any one may think of
any appointment made by Presiden
Grant, all must admit that the gov
ernment has been well, and ably, and
honestly administered in all its depart
ments since March, 1869. That integ-
rity has been carried into the con-
duct Of every bureau is patent to all,
and a strict accountability has to be
rendered by every official. Wherev-
er corruption has lurked it has been
exposed, and the interest of the gov
ernment protected. We believe the
people are satisfied with the admins
tration of President Grant; they be-
lieve him honest in his purposes, pat
riotic in his actions, and governed
by pure motives and good Intentions
ana that he takes for his guide the
popular will. and that he has no pol
icy to enforse against their wishes -

three years old, was playing with
other children, he in some way got a
chestnut shell, it is supposed into his

Monday morning he appeared to be
getting worse and two more physi-
clans were called. All that medical

peaceable citizens because of their
loyalty to the Union, by southern

their northern friends like it or not.

a log, and the young one was sitting
upon the log. Suddenly the horses
became frightened and sprang to one
side thro wing the lad from his scat

The casting vote of the Lieutenant
Governor would give the power to
the Republicans whenever there is
full and strictly party vote, on the
passage of bills and all other meas
ures before the Senate. The Consti-
tuition provides that the Lieutenant
Governor "shall vote only when the
Senate is equally divided" and By
absence of a limiting clause gives
him vote in every such contingency,
whatever be the occasion of the vote.
We make this explanation because we
have seen it stated that the Lieuten-
ant Governor will have the casting
vote, "except on the finalpassage of
bills There is no such exception.
Again. The Lieutenant Governor,
for the purposes stated in the Consti-
tuition, to-wit, giving casting vote,
is just as much elected to the Senate
as is any one of that body who cones
from q district and who bears the IT,
tie of Senator. All there is Of
Lieutenant Governor is that he is
President of the Senate, and shall
vote "when the Senate is equally di
vided." Under the old Constitution,
ample provision was made for a sue
cessor to the Governor, but the evils
of tie in the Senate suggested the
need of a Senator at large, and SO a
Lieutenant Governor was elected.
AS Lieutenant Governor he has no
power at all except as an officer of
the Senate. In case of vacancy in
the Governorship, the Office Of Lieu
tenant Governor ceases; therefore,
when he is deprived of his power as
President of the Senate, with the
right to throw casting vote when
that body shows tie, he is no longer
Lieutenant Governor.-CZey. Herald.

THE Toledo Commercial thus con-
cludes an editorial entitled Save US
from our Friends -
But even this experience was not
sufficient TO destroy the confidence of
the rebels in the ability of the Demo
cracy TO help them. The "Lost Cause"
was to be recovered. What was lost
by armed treason, was to be regained
by political strategy and legislation.
Emancipation was to be prevented,
and the boasted "corner- stone of the
Southern Confederacy" preserved in
its place in the Union as it vas"
To this. the ever faithful Democracy
OF the North was prompt in its sup
port, promising that if the South
would only stand by Slavery, much
might yet Ee saved. Hence, the de-
ter,nined opposition to the 18th
Amendment abolishing Slavery. And
then, when it was proposed to recon-
struct the South on the basis of
emancipation and loyalty to the Un-
ion, leaving the suffrage question to
the States, the South were advised
not TO accept such terms, on assur-
ance that the Northern Democracy
were able to give them more favora-
bic conditions. Then come the 14th
Amendment, securing to the Freemen
civil rights, aside from suffrage,
which the rebels, in common with the
Northern Democracy, obstinately op-
posed. And following that was the
10Th Amendment, always just to the
Ereemen, but now rendered necessary
to the peace of the entire nation by
the bitter hatred and violence of the
rebels in the South and their coadju-
tors at the North. This, too, was re-
sisted, but alike Intellectually. Thus
closed the long contest over the no.
bic Freedom Amendments, through
out which the two wings of the Con-
federate power had stood side by
side.
1t seems that the long ''deferred
hope" of relief through the Demo-
cracy, with which the rebels have
been so often and so cruelty Knocked,
has finally "made the heart sick" and
they have at last discovered that the
bright apples annually grown on
Democratic platforms. are but ashes
and bitterness. They see no further
possibility of advantage from that
source Of delusion. The recent cleo
tions have so efTectually clenced the
nails already driven in the coffin of
that party, that even the spisit of
secession faints in hopelessness. The
consequence is, that the rebel leaders
are driven to other shifts for relief,
and they are now appealing to their
long tried friends at the North not
longer to prejudice their cause by
keeping up the organization which
has been SO fruitless of coed. They
sec that the stamp of treason isso in
