The Ohio Opposition.

Both wings of the opposition in Ohio
have opened the campaign badly. Mr..
Collins, the nominee of the new party,
began his canvass. by an unwarrantable
and gratuitous assault upon the Liber-
ais of1S72-rhe very men by whom,
if he had reflected for moment, he
must have known that his ranks would
most probably be recruited. If his fol-
lowers ever arrive at the dignity OF a
party, that party will trace its origin 10
the Cincinnati Convention. Mr.. Col
lins's adhereBts represent the impa-
tience under abuses, the disgust at
empty quarrels, and the anxiety for a
publication of the business of politics,
which provoked the Liberal revolt;
they have the same sanction now that
we had las. year, and if they win any
success it will be largely the result of
our pioneer labors. Whether they are
in a fair way of accomplishing any
thing it is too soon yet to judge; but
thus far we certainly arc not impressed
with their tact. .tt...l E.-.t .t
! The Democratic candidate has the
advantage of knowing just what his
party consists of, and remembering
the topics which it liked 10 debate a
generation or Two ago. If he does not
comprehend thai the old issues which
divided the country are closed, and
that both the old parties have conse-
quently lost their Vitality forever, he is
no worse off in that respect than Gov
ernor Noyes, and Governor Morton,
and the other conspicuous politicians
of the opposite faction. He has at least
been shrewd enough 10 see that the
''one political question before the peo-
pie of the United States is whether it
will be possible for the American peO-
pie to purge the great principle of pop
misrepresentation from the pollutions
which now contaminate it, and to keep
it free from contamination in the fu-
ture." With all Difference to Mr..
Aliens philosophy, we doubt. how
ever, whether this task can be accom-
plished by discussion of theories of
representation or even by placing In
power party which has always been
"sound'' ON State Rights. Neither
will it be accomplished by attacking
the Republican party at points where
| it is not vulnerable. The dominant
faction has committed great faults
great crimes II you will-but it is not
responsible for all the evil that has
been done in Congress. The Back Pay
bill was not a party measure at all, and
the Democrats did rather moro than

A SHOCKING BAD STRRET.-The City
Council meets tonight, and before it
adiourns it should certainly do some>
thing looking to the improvement of
Zane street, Wheeling Island. This
street is one of the main arteries of the
city. Even Main street itself is not
more used, and yet it has been neglected
until it is a disgraceto the city, an an
novance to those compelled to use it
and a fertile cause of accidents. 1t
should not be permitted to remain as it
now is for another day. 1t is 30 full Of
holes as to be almost impossible in
places, and is nowhere in even decent
repair. The people residing on the
Island complain, as they have a right
to, of the way which their streets are
neglected. They are required to pay
taxes for the improvement Of the streets
in other parts of the city, while their
representative in the Second Branch
has had many lively struggle to get
even a cinder path made on the Island
But independent Of locsl interest or
local pride, this street is used more
than any other street in the city, and it
should be kept in better order than any
other. See to it, gentlemen OF the Coun-
Gil, that something be done for this
street tonight.

Editors of the Register:
There seems to be a scarcity or
rather an entire want. 40 far, Of candi-
didates for the Mayoraltv at the ensu-
ing Charter election. The fact Of there
being no salary for the Mayor, aud the
amount OF labor connected with the Of
flee, may have something to do with
this. But the interests OF the city are
such that good first class man is need
ed for the office at this time more than
ever before, and we beg leave to sug-
gest the name Of Mr.. John Handlan
for that position. His services for the
past g. months in the Board OF Super
visors have shown him to be man Of
first class abilities. Thoroughly hon.
est. a shrewd financier as his manage
ment Of the Street Railway Company
has proved him to be- an old citizen,
a heavy taxpayer and a man of strong
common sense are sufficient to recon-
mend him to all classes OF our citi-
zens.
Elect John Handlau Mayor and be-
fore two years the affairs OF our city
will be in such shape that the pres-
ent cry Of rings, cliques, &c, will be
heard no more. MANY CITIZENS.

GONE MORE UNFORTUNATE. On
yesterday our attention was attract' d
by the groaning Of a man lying on the
lookup floor, who seemed to be in most
exquisite agony. We learned that his
name is George w. Mccartney, and his
residence in Washington county, Penn
sylvsnia. He has but one arm having
lost the other, he SAYS, at the battle OF
Shiloh, while fighting in the 18th Ohio
Volunteers. About a week ago, during
the terrible cold weather, while intoxi-
Gated, he started to walk home, but fell
and had his arms and legs badly frozen.
He was brought to the city and has
since been cared for by Mr.. Wallace,
keeper OF the lookup. The man needs
medical care, good food and some few
of the comforts of life or he will die.
The attention of those having charge
OF the poor has been called to his case,
but it is said that there are now no
overseers OF the poor to attend to such
matters. the members of Tboburn
Post, G. A. R should see to this case
if they have not already done go.

POLICE CoURr.-Another fed day in
the Police Court. Yesterdays display
was Q Gne one, q little colored, per-
haps, by the surroundings, but still q
"'splen' 'splay." .
Matte Brown is a colored sister Of
more than usual vigor in the use OF the
language. She isn't choice in her terms
Matte amt, and it creates hard feel
ipgs, and tribulatious, and trouble. The
able manner in which she abused Mrs.
Lydia A. Hibbetts, a white woman, led
to her arrest. She was fined 81 and
costs.
Harriet Wilson, another manufac-
turer OF chin music, also of the colored
persuasion, seeming fearful that Matte
was not sustaining her assault with her
accustomed fervor, came to Msttie's as
sistance. She far surpassed her in a
lively fusilade against the unhappy Hib-
belts. Her excessive and superior
ability in this department warranted the
Judge in assessing fine Of IS and the
costs.
John Dayton was very drunk and
very disorderly at the corner Of Main
and Monroe streets, yesterday morning,
about 2 o'clock. The officers went TO
him and warned him that he must kee D
still, but he received their warning with
yelling and cursing. S. and costs was
the penalty.
James Welsh was picked upon Mar
ket street, where he was INDUCING in a
drunken sleep. He was fined 81 and
costs. Having no money he goeth to
the geological school for ten days.

RIVER NEws.-The river has risen
over two feet in the last forty-eight
hours, and the indications are favorable
for a fine stage OF water. At Pits
burgh there is seven feet ten inches in
the channel. Here the marks last
evening showed ten feet eight inches.
The rising water is taking off the
shore ice, a good deal of which was left
heached when the river last receded
It has been considerable annoyance to
boats in making landings and we know
that pilots will be glad when it is gone.
Yesterday one Of the barges of the
Liberty No. ., while being loaded at
the Top mill, broke loose and was car
ried down as far as the Suspension
bridge before it was secured.
The Forest City came down from
Steubenville, yesterday, with a good
trip both OF freight ana passengers.
The barge belonging to the Alice
Brown, sunk at Bellaire bridge, has
been raised.
The Express, Captain Phil Anschutz,
is to-day's Parkersburg packet. The
great popularity both of the boat and
her officers warrants US in predicting q
big trip for her. Ed. Anscbutz is her
gilt,edged clerk.
The Hudson is expected here from
Cincinnati to-day. Tomorrow after
noon is her regular time for leaving.
The Andes leaves for Cincinnati at
noon to-day for Wheeling. She will
leave on her return trip on next Tues
day afternoon.
The Pittsburgh papers say that the
Allegheny is still frozen over at Oil
