ABOUT two months since the County
Commissioners made a report to the
Court in accordance with law In which
they stated that there was discrepen-
cies on the various Turnpike roads
amounting TO over $4,000; short
time afterwards these same Commis-
siouers met and entered into a minute
examination of the Auditors books for
the purpose Of ascerfaining whether
the report they had made to the Court
was actually correct. After a session
of q week, and endless figuring, they
arrived at the same point they were
when they began. The indisputable
fact that TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
of the peoples money was not account
ed Cor, stared them in the face.
In the meantime the Court appoint
ed committee to certify as to the cor
rectuess Of the Commissioners Report,
consisting of the Prosecuting Attorney
and Messrs. Campbell and Patterson,
It has now been four weeks since thii
committee was appointed, ana they
have scarcely began the examination
they contemplate. We do not under
stand that It IS the intent OF the law
that this committee shall spend months
trying to ascertain that the Commls
sioners' Report is incorrect, but It Is
their duty to certify to the facts as
found upon the records.
Asyet they have not attempted tt
compare the report with the DOCKS,
but are digging toto and arranging
bonds and coupons redeemed, ousi'

law.

A certain society known as the Ohio
Republican Association Of Washington
city, by aome hook or crook made
known their desires to President Grant
hast week, Of having a conference with
him, in order to arrange slate for his
foreign appointments, and especially OF
urging theclaims of Mr.. Bingham. We
are assured thatthis little arrangement
was voluntary exhibition of s.cheek"
on the part of the managers Of that
powerful brigade not anticipated by
the Hon. B. The President snubbed
and we think very properly these would
be Pesidentiat Directors with the as
sursnce that he needed no recommends
atious of Mr.. Bingham and he might
have added very appropriately "from
such source" We are aware that
the Ohio Association claims to direct
political affairs iIzAhe-insignificant State
of Ohio, but we were not prepared to
learn of their taking control of national
politics. The President, no doubt. felt
very grateful to this Ohio Association
for electing him to the Office of Presi-
dent for the next four years, and
he viii show his appreciation when
the time comes, by promoting each of
them from Qabinet advisers to clerks.
The Ohio State Executive and Central
Committees compared with the astute
managers of that organization dwindle
into insignifcaRce. Really, we would
advise that the State Convention be
dispensed with hereafter rs useless
gathering, and that the State and local
Committees be mustered out rs eumber-
rs, and that the political interests of
Oil, be handed over to this immacu-
late body for direction and preservation.

could fall no lower, these monuments
would still remain, and I should rise again
