John S. e. Abbott has given the world
some rather curious biographies, but the
climax of all is his last effort to get Nero
right. He has discovered that that gentle
man did not fiddle during the burning Of
Rome, because he didn't know how, and be-
cause he was nearly hundred miles away
during the cOnfagratiOn.

We desire to remind the Bulletin, in a
whisper, that Dumont is not a State Sen
ator. OF course We do not desire to be
overheard in our prompting. We do not
want to expose our neighbor's ignorance
to the world lie is worse than Dumont
himself, who wrote card to tell what he
did not know, while the TuNet;n man
writes column about what he thinks he
knows, and at the same time knows
nothing about 1t. So, all that fine writ
ing, that exquisite fash of wit that Bit

bic veracity Of Senators, goes to protest
because Dumont is not a State Senator
but merely willing witness who comes
forward and says he did not hear GER

words. they tell rs that functionaries who

As New Orleans has been in a chronic
state Of ruin ever since We can remember.
il is pity tina: some of these volunteer
statesmen had not before come to the
rescue. When the Irish refused to let
Americans vote without seeing the ballots
the condition was deplora BILE; when the
latter would not let the Irish vote. it was
doubtless much worse; but when the Sc
cessionists compelled every white man to
vote for JEFF Davis or leave the State, it

Old Cedar All Right.

The full returns from all townships
in the county, excepting Red Oak and
Massilon, show Republican vote on the
State ticket Of 1873, against s34 Demo
cratic. Tie total Republican majority
will be very few less than 800 This .
better than was expected considering
the light vote that was cast.
A raid seems to have been made on
the Republican candidate for Auditor,
whereby his majority is materially re
duced. This was accomplished by the
usual Democratic tactics Of peddling DO
gus tickets. trading, &c., aided by Re
publican countenance from certain
quarters which remains to be explained
hereafter.
The Stock Act Is undoubtedly adopted

some cases, be open to doubt, but the

innumerable preparations intended to

revolutions that cam ogo back wards.

which is to be the text of q short article.
The cars were crowded with divines re
turning from Conference at Cliuton.
The gentlemen of cloth seemed very
happy and were disbursing their happi-
ness by making some excellent vocal
music, when the call Of the conductor
for tickets revealed the fact that he had
no knowledge of the one fifth fare pass
es which they held, and insisted upon
full fare from every passenger. This
put a sudden period to the vocal music
and gave rise to slow making ofchange
and, afterward, a spirited indignation
meeting. Some of the other passengers
did not seem to think the situation at
all painful, and even INDUCED In sly
smiles.

train on his return FROM q speech max.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. Mean ing
the several meetings which were adver-
tised to transpire In Cedar county last
week, and concerning which, it is prob
able, the less said the better. There Is
one thing, however, that may be said;
and that is, that when next political
meetings shall be announced in these
columns, We want somebody's affidavit
that they shall transpire. 1t has come
to be expected that newspaper appoint
| ments for political meetings will not be
met, which is not creditable to the verac
ity Of the newspapers, If it is favorable
to the energy and promptness of the
speakers.
The speech of DR.. Bulls at Springdale
OH Friday was indefinitely postponed
The DR.. did not appear.
The following report OF the meeting al
Stan wood on Monday evening is taker
from the Express:
The political meeting VIII ich was t
have been held in Stanwo"d last Mon
day evening, was a grand fizzle, some Q
Cedar county's best speakers failing t
appear.
The Rochester Bugte Of Liberty,
there was one, could say the same 70
the meeting announced there for Tues
day evening. Louden, Wednesda,
evening. ditto.
We believe Mr.. Bull did go to Mechan
icsville Thursday evening; but
course they did not expect any one, an
20 the meeting was confined to a cos
chat around some hospitable fire.
At Centredale, Friday evening,
respectable audience gathered whic
was addressed by Messrs J. w. Bull an
w. p. Wolf. This one was success.
The remaining appointments, at Coo
Grove School house and at Inland, stan
over until the campaign of 1872.
