= Hon. NJ. j. Williams addressed the
Giant and Wilson Club at Hamilton, on
Tuesday evening of last week. The Ham
ilton Telegraph pays Mr.. Williams high
compliment when it says in noticing the
club meeting, that ''the enthusiasm of the
boys, hot at the start, was kept fully
ablaze by Mr.. Williams, of Fayette. His
speech where others have been good, was
probably the best we have had before the
Club this campaign" Mr.. Williams viii
make several speeches in the county next
week.
We noticed in the HERALD last week,
that Col. w. E. Gilmore, formerly of Chilli
cothe, and well knowR to many Of our read
ers, was nominated as the Liberal Repub-
can and Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor of Missouri 1t turns out
that the Col is too new a carpet bagger
He has not been in the State long enough
to make him eligible to the office under the
constitution of Missouri, and this morgrel
Democratic party have wonderful favor
for carpet-baggers.
- We learn that Mr.. Sayre. the County
Treasurer of this County, has handed in his
resignation as. County Treasurer to the
County Commissioners. and that it has
been accepted by them, and that Mr. Eli
Craig of Staunton, has been appointed TO fill
the vacancy. Mr.. Craig is a gentleman
well and favorably known in this county,
and we have no doubt he will make a com
petent and trustworthy officer. His bonds
have been accepted, and he entered upon
the duties of his office this morning. -
If you wish to see the finest set Of
double harness in Ohio, just look into A.
Hamilton's show case. They were manu-
featured for Mr.. H. by his foreman, Capt
Black, and took the first premium at our
County Fair as double set, and separated
also took the first premium as single
sets of harness.

Trouble in the Treasurer's office.


Trouble in the Treasurer's office.
For few weeks past to the utter aston
ishment of everybody, it was ascertained
that there was something wrong in the Off
cial management of our County Treasurerss
Office. Tax payers complained that they
had paid more money to the Treasurer
than the per cent upon the valuation of
their property would amount to. At first
we supposed it possible that this might be
attributable to few clerical errors, and
with a hope that there might be nothing
criminal in the matter, and that it would
be satisfactorily explained, we preferred
to say nothing about it in our paper until
the matter was sufficiently investigated to
enable US to form what we might regard
as correct conclusions in the whole matter.
We have had no desire to conceal any mex
cusable errors or criminality on the part
ofran official of any political party, nor to
condemn him in the absence of unmistaka-
bic evidence, merely upon the thousand
exaggerated rumors that so naturally obtain
in an excitement like that which has pre-
vailed in our county since these troubles
began to be developed; but, as we have
said, we preferred to wait until more sub
stantial and unmistakable evidences of
criminal intent were developed before say
ing anything on the subject.
Up to this writing, receipts have been
brought in and submitted to Messrs.
Henry Robinson and T. M. Gray, who, on
request of taxpayers, have been compar-
ing receipts, and have found too many of
them to be given for greater amount than
the Duplicate called for. This thing has
continued to an extent that forbids the
idea that they were mere clerical errors,
and no other conclusion can now be ar
| rived at than that-these excessive coIlec-
tions have been made BY the Treasurer
| illegally and in violation of law. There is no
use of talking about anything else in view
Of the investigations that have been made.
If even they were clerical errors, the great
number and extent of the amounts would
prove conclusively that Mr. Sayre was
wholly incompetent to discharge the duties
of this responsible office.
On enquiry, we find that the amount Of
money required on the Duplicate for which
receipts have been given, ison hand and
has been paid over, but we do not learn
that the Treasurer has accounted to the
Commissioners for any surplus collections
A great deal of money has been paid oYei
to persons who have brought in their re-
ceipts, and on comparison with the books
it has been ascertained they had been over.
charged and had overpaid, but Wha
amount we do not'know
Ie is due the public that this Who'll,
treasury matter should be thoroughly IN
vestigated, and that the perpetrators shoul,
answer to the demands of Justice. lie
4 there be no hiding or concealment Of thu
matter. The people, and the cause of jus
tice, demand it.

Sewing Machine Sales for 1871.

Occasionally whole covey or flock of facts
springs suddenly to the view of the public and
draws universal attention. AS very few sports
men ever enjoy the good fortune to fetch down a
whole flock at shot it rarely fails to the lot of
any business marksman to bring to the ground
SO great swarm of .gamey'' realities. But Occa.
sionally there is Il business establishment which
uses long range gun that both spreads and con-
centrates in discharge. The Singer Manufac-
turing Company is one of these extraordinary
calibres To the point of illustrations The bird
in this case is the Singer Sewing Machine; whole
number brought to market in 1871, 1S1 S6O, being
in word fifty-tw thousand more than YVES bag
ged by any other company. If therefore. the
number of sales be any critel ion of the merits

the Singer. owing to the popularity of what is
known as their NEW FAMILY machine far sur
passes all others, for the fact is shown by sworn
returns of the companies, which returns are made
under the licenses granted them by the owners
