OUR brief reference to the Findlay
Jetfersonian in recent issue of the
Republican has drawn an extended
aeply from the editor of that paper.
Ia reply we would simply quote
from a letter which ne received from
we'll informed gentleman Of Han
cock county, as follows:
II would say that Mr.. De Wolf
erinces his dissatisfaction by growl-
ing ferociously because he can not es-
tablish any changes in some of the
officers at Findlay, and therefore his
opposition to Mr.. Sherman with the
expectation of defeating Kim and by
that means secure for himself that
long desired and sought for position
of Post Master at Findlay. He speaks
Vt his honest convictions. Those
convictions would be of different
nature if he had only an office"
And the Ohio State Journal speaks
OF the ''sinister motives which lurk
l'ehind the assumptions of exclusive
virtue by certain old crafty politicians
Of our own party, "and this was pen
red expressl for the benefit of our
friend DeWolf

PRESIDENT GRANT NOT RE
SPONSIBLE.

The New York Post, paper no
ways friendly to the re- nomination of
President Grant speaks thus ofhis en-
tire disconnection with the Custom
House frauds:
The friends of the President are
not the only persons who will be
heartily glad to learn that there is
not word of evidence which tends
to implicate hir Grant in any Of the
scandalous transactions with which
he has-been charged by partisan op
ponents in connection with the Gus
House. There 10 proof that he was
imposed on in the matter of the Gen
eralOrder business there is proofthat
his name was used to impose on 9th
ers there is some reason for suspset
ing that one or two Of his intimate
associates connived At the use of his
name. But the evidence affords no
excuse for assailing his personal in
teeritv, and journals which have iu-
dulged their temper in aspe. sions OF
that kind would act wisely to retract
at once.

Who Shall BE the Republican
Candidate for Vice President?
Hon. William DenuiSOn.

We direct attention to an article
from the Columbus Journal, present
ing the name of William Dennison rs
the Republican candidate for Vice
President. What the Journal VS.
as to the qualifications of ex-Gover-
nor Dennison for the position. and as
to the propriety of his nomination,
we would emphasize to the extreme
limit of our ability. Having known
Governor Dennison, personally and
politically, for twelve months in each
year during more than 8 score of
years, We have no. reservation to
make in asserting that no name. in the
array of good men in the Republican
ranks, is more deserving the second
place on the Nation ticket, nor could
that distinction be conferred upon a
man on whom an Infinite tlust"
could with more confidence be laid,
Gov Dennison possesses rare merits
as a man and statesman. Discrete
in his political action, sound in his
judgement of men and measures,
charitable and catholic as child.
open as mid day, true to his profes
sion as the magnetic needle to its
pole, without blcmish on his private
life, and the very soul of honor in
his business transactions, the Repub
lican party would in his nomination

believe it to be Mr. Colfax's desire
not again to be placed on the Nation
al ticket We think he should have
persisted in his determination not to
run, but it is veiy easy to conceive
the influences and entreaties brought
to bear to induce him to reconsider
his deliberately formed resolution.
He yields at great sacrifice, pecunia-

Who are Subscribers to a Paper ?

An opinion in which publishers
will he much interested was rendered
the other day in the United States
Circuit Court at Cleveland by Judge
SHERMAS, on an appeal from q lower
court. The publishers of the Mt.

to whom he was requested to send
his paper, payment being furnished by
the parties who brought the list
Three hundred papers were thus sent,
without payment of postage. Some
of the persons to whom the papers
were thus directed declined to re-
ceive them, and there was no pretense
thar the parties addressed had been
consulted. The case came before the
court through the prosecution of the
publishers. and the question arose
whether people provided with papers
without being consulted, and espec-
iallv those refusing them. could he

For Vice President.

1t has been recently stated that
Vice President Colfax reconsidered
his determination to retire to private
life at the end of his present term Of
office.
Other gentlemen are mentioned as
candidates for Vice President and
fortunately there are an abundance of
men in the Republican party eminent
tly qualified for the position. We
have no doubt that the National Con
vention, which is to assemble in Phil
adelphia, will nominate gentleman
who will be highly acceptable to tho
people
The Ohio State Journal, in dou-
BILE loaded editorial announces as its
choice, Hon. VIM. Dennison. Huv,
ing been acquainted with Mr.. Denni-
sin for about fifteen years, we can
heartily endorse all that the Journal
says of him. and therefore reproduce
it's article here:
Not to consider further Of this mat
ter, at present. we have name to
present which it seems to us carries
great stength-WILLIAM DENNIsoN,
of Ohio. An able man. man of at
fairs. a true man, genuine Republi-
can from the beginning, an expert
enced politician and statesman, pru
dent leader in his sphere, man large
ly Unidentified with the material inter
est of the country, areliable end safe
man in any place, and one who would
fill the Vice Presidents chair with
grace, dignity and distinction. With
such man as alternate for Grant, the
American people might rest in perfect
confidence and content, sure that no
single crime or casualty could deprive
them of faithful honest and capa
BILE Executive. Since Mr.. Dennison.
in his ringing speech before the Young
Mems Republican Club of Columbus,
last year, excited such enthusiasm BY
coming out squarelv for Grants re-
nomination, public sentiment in this
State has been turning to him as the
best candidate for Vice President.
Believing that his own state will de-
sire him to be candidate, anil no
other name which has been mention
ed can carry such strength in Penn
sylvania, and New York, aud some of
the eastern, western and southern
States; knowing Mr.. Dennison for a
cordial and unf1inching friend to
Grants administration, and one of
the first if not the first of our eminent
public men to declare in favor Of
Grants denomination feeling that he
is all that could be asked as to capac-
ity and fitness, we suggest for the con-
sideration of the Philadelphia Con
vention as handsome, well sound
ing, reliable and invincible ticket

We reproduce tue following from
the Wooster Republican, which ought
to be instructive:
On the 18th of August, 1871,
Judge John Mcbride issued a mar
riage license to one Adam Adair of
this city, and the next week, August
23d, he was married to Mary E. Flora,

most dishonorable character, nor has
it since been modified in any way, for
in the hour Of her darkest need and
solest distress, he shamefully and
crnelly abandoned her.
He had already placed himself
within the all-hedging metz work of
the law, and fearing she would arrest
him and make him smart for his
treacherons conduct, he doubtless
concluded the cheapest way to extri-
cate himself from the trouble, was to
marry her, and then let her down to
the winds and the sympathy Of the
community. In this he succeeded

The New York Custom House.


The recent investigation into the
affairs of the New York Custom
House has resulted in the showing up
Of a system which has grown into one
of great magnitude at that institution,
but which prevails in all European
custom horses-that of feeling the
officers in order to get goods through,
and thus avoid tedious delay. The
evil mas become so great that the tax
on the New York importers reaches
over 100000 year, which does not
90 into the treasury. This same svs
TEN existed under the Democratic
administration of Polk, Pierce and
Buchanan: therefore it cannot he
charged as being of Republican birth,
But that does not excuse the exist
ence of this system, which is nothing
more than extorting money, and
which should be broken up peremp-
tcrily. We trust and heleve that the
President will, as soon as the com-
mittee make their report. solve the
difficulty by giving orders dismiss
ing every employe of the custom

Tnk Editor of the Enioa is oppos

TnE Editor of the Eaioa is oppos-
ei to any increase of the salary Of
+ preme and Common Pleas Judges.
We hare no quarrel with him ON this
subject. We have noticed that at
every State and District Convention
there are always plenty of Candidates
for these Offices. And 80 long as this
is the case, we see no reason for in
crcasing the salaries. When No ap-
plicant can be found for an Office be-
cause Of insufficient compensation,
then it will be time to increase the
pay. In all industrial departments
wages are not advanced SO long as
operatives can be secured without
is. We also believe that there would
lie no lack Of well qualified candi-
dates for various County Offices, even
il the salaries of the same were one
fourth less than they are. Consider
ing thst they are furnished with Office
room. fuel, light, paper. pene. pencils.
and that some of them don't have
to work but about half of the time,
we believe that in many instances
mach larger salaries are paid than the
services rendered are actually worth.
There are men in Offices who re
ceive from fourteen to eighteen hun
drcd dollars a year, who at farming
or mechanical business could not
command eight hundred dollars q
year to save their necks. Men who
hardly rosess sufficient capacities to
make decent living at ordinary pri-
vate business are frequently elected
to Offices where they receive salaries
of fifteen hundred or two thousand
dollars year, and in private business
it requires a capitali Of four or five
thousand dollars, with much skill.
patience. and labor. to realize thou.
sand dollars year. The truth is
that exorbitant compensation tor
trivial services, is the curse of our
country. II it were well understood
that men must earn all that they get
in otf1ce-that filling an office means
earnest work, responsibility, there
would not be such scramble to get
into Office as We often witness.
We are, therefore, opposed to in
crease the salaries of judges and
think that the suggestion that the
salaries and fees of many Of the
county offices are excessive, is at
least entitled to candid considera-
tion.
