The Cincinnati Enquirer says; "Thc
Democracy have fully accepted the results
that grew out Of the war. Their organ.
iSatiou is oftO-day aud for to-day and the
future. The Republicans exist only and
fight for the shadow Of past measures -
We advise the Democratic speakers aud
the Democratic press to pay no attention
to any attempt 10 revive old issues that are
not now connected with the Government.
Such talk is the merest bOsh, and is only
worthy Of being treated with silent con.
tempt. 1t can hardly be possible that
any man WHO believes the Republican par.
ty Of to-day is unfit 10 be trusted with
power will vote to continue it because it
may have been SO ten or dozen years ago.
What We propose to do is to exhibit
the corruption and unworthiuess Of the
men now in office. From this we should
not be pushed iuto discussions OfquestiOns
that have no more to do with to-day than
the question OF whether there ever was any
such thing as the siege Of Troy"

Removal of H. S. Walker, Public
Printer.


Gov. Jacob, by virtue Of Lis authority
as Chief Executive, has removed from Of
fee IlenryS. Walker, Public Printer, and
appointed O. B. Webb, editor of the Ka.
nawha Chronicle, (the Governors organ J
in bis stead, To say the least, this act oil
Governor Jacob is Of questionable proprie
ty. For months aud months the Governor
and his clacQUcrs have held up before the
people Of this State "the immense printing
frauds committed by II s. Walker, Pub.
lie Printer" and yet, during all Of this
time tho Governor has set with folded
arms and allowed Mr., Walker 10 continue
these socallcd frauds" directly under his
nose; yea, not only allowed them to cou'
tnuo, but has aided and Allotted in their
preparation, by approving of the bills Of
thousands upon thousands Of dollars worth
Of printing, with bis own proper sigma
ture as Governor We do hot propose to
pass upon Mr. Walkers guilt or limo.
ceuCe in this matter, it is not our province,
but undoubtedly he must have had some
shadow Of law 10 his favor, else so pure
patriot, and vigilnnt watch dog Of the
public treasury as Gov Jacob processes to
te, would not have approved Walkers
bills for payment, without which he could
have drawn no money out of the treasury
If Mr., Walker hos been guilty Of pecula.
ton in office, we have no sympathy with
him, but until further proof is adduCCd BY
The Governor and his friends, we shall
continue to believe that he has made law
full charges, aud il the Governor really be-
lieves that there has been frauds commit
ted, he has but one course to pursue and
that is to institute suit against Mr.. Walk
or and compel restitution Of the money
wrongfuIly paid IfGovcrBer Jacob fails
to do this, the people of this Stale must
look upon bis recent action as a prostitu
zion Of bis high Office to vent private
spleen and manufacture cheap sympathy
for himself aud thus retrieve, it possible,
some Of the ground lost with the Radicals
by his dOuble.burrcled proclamation in re.
latiou to our Congressman elect, and the
recent very able decision Of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals that blasted forever his
high preteDsions as chief interpreter Of the
Constitution of the State, aud sole custo.

A villaihouS plot to blow up a house,
with oil its inmates, was made few days
ago near Mansfield, o., by q man named
Dodds aud some hired accomplicCs. The
house was occupied by family named
Bernard. A young girl Of that family
had instituted suit for damages against
Dodds, who was her uncle, on q charge Of
Outrage while living in his family about
year ago. The motive Of Dobbs in de-
string to blow up the house was to avoid
this second suit, be having been already
compelled to pny $4,000 damages as the
result Of suit previously brought by the
girls parents. The plot to destroy the
house aud its inmates was betrayed by one
of the men hired by DObbs to assist in it.
and the authorities we're enabled 10 catch
the parties in the very act of firing the
guDpowder. Dobbs escaped during the
night but was retaken on the next morn,
Mug. Taken to Mansfield he was,
strangely enough, allowed to go, entering
