RAILROAD MEETING.-Pursuant to
notice given, meeting was held at
Birchard's Hall, on Tuesday night,
to consult together in relation to
railroad matter. S. Buckland was
called to the chair, and 1. NJ. Keeler
Secretary. Gen. Buckland stated
the object of the meeting, and said
that there was a question to be met
before voting aid to the Chicago d
New York Air Line Road. That
question was whether our citizens
would be willing to vote aid at the
same time for the L. E. & L. R'y. He
presented the claims of that road
and contended that it was entitled to
aid before other projects. He made
a motion that the committee pre-
pare a petition, to present to the
Trustees of Sandusky township, cal
ling for an election to vote upon the
question of issuing 100000 bonds
forsthe New York and Chicago Air
Line, and $4,000 for the L. E. & L.
R'y, the motion was carried. After
some further remarks the meeting
adjourned.

road, and if its agent cannot supply
them with cars as rapidly as they
need them, it is not the fault of the
L. E. &. L., road, its Superintendent,
or Mr.. Foster, who is, so far as ac-
comodations are concerned, only a
customer of the road, and supplied
no more promptly than any other,
except that the extensive business
OF his house requires more cars than
most other shippers. It is, however
fact, that the Superintendent OF
the L, E. q L. R'y, has, not unfre-
quently accommodated the shippers
of this place with cars ordered for
the use of his road when doing SO
would not interfere with its business
These are the facts in a nutshell,

Your Duty.

In order that an administration
may be made effective and success
full, it is important that the legisla-
tive branch of the government should
be in the hands of its friends, or else
the prudent measures Of the admin
istration for the benefit of the coun-
trv, may be hampered and interfered
with by antagonistic legislation.
There is no longer any doubt, if
there ever was any, Of the election OF
Grant & Wilson. The Greeleyites
have given it up, and are virtually
making no further effort in that di-
rection. But they are particularly
active upon the Congressional ques-

during the last four years than ever
ever before; nor has any informa-

usual has prevailed among Demo.
cratic voters. Yet the last election
returns from that State show that
there were $50 more Democratic
votes polled in 1868 than both Dem
Gratis and ex-Republican votes in
1872. This might be figured out as
great Democratic gain by Confed
crate mathematical experts; but We
remain obtuse in such intricate cal

Sloane a Lottery Dealer

Sloane has been into almost every
dirty business, and among his earlier
transactions was that of. a lottery
dealer. The Sandusky Register has
unearthed a record of an indictment
against the "honest Rush." on the
22d day of Februry, 1850. 1t is a
matter ofrecord there, and any who
doubts may easily become satisfied.
Sloane plead guilty to the indict-
ment and paid his fine. Yet this
willful violator of law now appeals
to the people of this district to elect
him one of the law makers.

fourth resolution which was adopted
breathes an entirely different spirit
from that which Greeley attributes
to the heroes. The resolutions will
be found in another column.
But Greeley "put his foot in it,
further, when he talked of secession.
He attempted to explain the posi-
ton he held upon that subject and
put it as follows:
81 denied that the Southern peo-
pie, the great majority of them, are
against the Union. l demanded
that there shall be an open free dis
cussion before the Southern people
of an honest unterrifed, uncon-
strained vote. If they approve, il
the people of the South say they
want disunion I will consent to it
/ know they will not. I know thai
the Southern people, that the great
majority would have voted as they
actually did that winter, not for Sc
cessiOn, but for clinging to the Union
and now, to-day, if the nation were
to be imperiled, and there were just
two modes of saving it, TO trust to
the chances Of a civil war or to the
chances of a free, fair vote of the
Southern people, l would very great
ly prefer to take the latter chance
rather than the former"
If any one previously had any
doubts as to "Honest Horace's," Sc
cessionism, he need doubt no longer
There it is pointedly. "If the peo
pie Of the South say they want dis
union, I aoal consent to it," says
"Honest Horace" He could no
have stated his position more clear
ly or more decisively. And if.elec
ted and the South should again at
tempt to secede, he would manifes
his proclivity by insisting thai "Th'
Federal Government has no right tC
coerce a State" as James Buchanan
did. What do you think of him.
When "Honest Horace" reached
Cincinnati he found that he had sta
ted his position too clearly, on tn,
subject of secession, and his backer
made him "eat dirt" by taking i
all back" But the people will no
be so easily deceived, and will hav
none of him. Sail on "Honest Hor
race" the haven Of Salt River, is al
most in sight, and you will soon fine
rest?

By a secret arrangement with a
transportation company, he is en-
abled always to obtain cars, at times
even when business men of Fremont
have to wait days for the same. This
puts money into his pocket which
really comes from the pockets of the
farmers. Oh, but Charley is a
mighty laborer in the vineyard of
Fremont-no, but of FOSTER
Messenger.
The Messenger is still as hard
pressed for capital to use against
Foster, as ever. Its latest effort is
the most ridiculous of any it has
yet attempted. 1t charges that Fos-
ter is an enemy to Fremont, because
he can always get cars to ship his
freights, even when our own business
men cannot and have to wait for
cars; and that he has a secret ar
rangement with transportation com
panies which enables him to do so.
OF all the silly charges that is the
silliest the Messenger has yet ven
tured on. Fostoria is on the L. E.
& L. R'y, and not on the L. S. & NJ.
S., and transportation companies
look after the freight OF that road as
a valuable auxiliary of their traffic,
and the Superintendent of the L. E.
& L., Mr.. 1. Burgoon, looks after the
interests of his road as he is bound
to do. In so doing he arranges
with the L. S. d M. S., and with
transportation companies for what
cars he needs; and when he has a
demand for cars at Fostoria or other
points on his line, like a prompt and
efficient officer, he orders and re-
ceives the cars he wants to carry the
freight he has to ship. He alone is
charged with this business, and
makes it point to supply his Gus
toners promptly. Our merchants
do not ship over that line, or when
they do are provided with cars as
promptly as FostoriB or any other
point, Their main shipments are

In response to R. R. Sloane's
charge against Mr.. Foster, that he
has not been faithful to his district
in the matter of Hsrbor appropria-
tions, but had permitted Toledo to
get more than her share, it is shown
that during the last session of Con
gress, the amount obtained for the
Sandusky district was $50, 900; while
that appropriated for the Toledo dis
trict, was but $4,000. Mr.. Sloane
has not denied the charge that he
sought by falsehood and trickery, to
steal away from Fremont an appro-
priation intended for that town. If
that sort of policy is to be relied on
by Sandusky, Sloane is unquestion-
ably their man.-Co8amercjGl.

That's what Greeley said at Pitts
burgh. "Honest Horace" is the
greatest liar of the age. He knew
at the time he made the above asser-
tion that by the recent amnesty bill

the elective franchise, and that there

always did, or he would not so have
spoken.

Villanious lies are now the order
of the day with the Democracy, and
Van never ranks second when work
of that kind is to be done. Here is
one of his ISLANDERS:

it was.
Mr.. Sherwood denies that he has
ever uttered a word that could in any
way suggest the above, and Van
knew that he was uttering a william

whan he penned those line. The
situation is becoming hopeless and
Sloane's friends realize it. The
desperate measures to which they
are resorting show how desperate is
their case.

tion, and employs it to his own ad-
vantage He attempted to explain
away Rev. G. W. Golfers letter, and
in doing so misrepresented what Mr..

lier's letter called out by one receiv-
ed by him from Mr.. Sloane:
EDITORS T1FFIN. TRIBUNE: The
letter written by me to Judge Sloane
has been SO frequently called in
question, 1 think it due myself to
put all questions at rest by giving it
to the public:
TIFF1N, Sept. 9th, 1872.
Judge r. r. Sloane:
DEAR SIR:-Your call this morn
ing gave my first personal acquaint-
ance with the President of the G. S.
& C. Railroad.
You ask me to make some state
ment that will better explain my let
ter published in the Register, dated
Aug. oath. 1 Ihave carefully re-read
the letter and ] find no part that
car change or make palmer.
stated that my application was
made to the c., S. q c. R. R., pre-
suming that you was the managing
head. Yours Truly,
G. W. COLLIER.
Could anything be more pointed?
He re-affirms his letter of Aug. oath,
and anyone knowing the two men
will know at once that Mr.. Collier
does not falsify. The Sandusky
Telegram by authority denied any
applications having been made by
Mr.. c., in 1858, when Mr.. G., had
mentioned no time. But as the work
in which he engaged did not COM
mence till early in 1869, it is fair to
presume that the application was
made at thetime of undertaking to do
the work. To meet this Sloane says
pass 254 was issued to Mr.. Collier in
1869, and sent to Tiffn. Until the
fall of 1869 Mr.. Golfers residence
was here, in Fremont, and it was
while he resided here he was engag-
ed in the work hence the pass, if is
sued and sent to Tifin, must have
been after the meeting of the Central
Ohio Conference, that fall, which as
signed Mr.. c., to Tifin. At that
time his work was about completed,
and his travels in behalf of the Sol
dier's Orphans Home nearly ended.
His charge is therefore sustained,
and Sloane by the testimony he him
self adduces is convicted. It will be
noticed also that although he gives
the date at which all of the subse-
quent passes were issued, he does
not gave the date Of the first, and the
only reason that can be assigned is
that its date if given would convict
Sloane. Not all of fSloane's wiggling
will enable him to extricate himself
from the position in which Mr.. Col
ier's letter placed him.

Perhaps no real medicine ever gained the
rapid popularity which Castoria has done.
One person relates their experience OF its good
effects to another. It is a vegetable prepara-
ton, perfectly harmless, pleasant to take; does
not distress or grippe, but regulates the system,
and is sure to operate when all other remedies
have failed. Any person who has ever used
Castoria for Stomach Ache, Constipation,
Group, FIatulency, Worms, Piles, or deranged
Liver, will never again use nauseating Oil,
Bitter Pills or Narcotic Syrups. The Castoria
contains neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alco-

to crying and teething children. 1t costs but

While the Democratic editors are
dipping their pens in gall to trumpet
the defalcation of johnson, the
stamp clerk In the Sub Treasury at
New York, as a new proof of the
damning corruption of Grants ad-
ministration, it may be as well to say
calmly that johnson was appointed
to his clerkship seven years ago, be-
fore Grant had thought of being
President, and has meantime, up to
the discovery Of his defalcatiop,
borne an irreproachable, reputation,
He was a former attache of the AL

newspaper N the State Of New York.
With these facts before the public
the brethren of the Democratic press
may fire away at johnson, and fur
thermore, the government loses no
thing, as his bond covers the full
amount of the defalcation.
