The Cemetery Purchase.

Considerable feeling was man"
ifested on Monday when il was
learned that the Township Trus-
tees were about to purchase of
Jacob Clements, a piece OF
ground containing eight or ten
acres, for cemetery purposes,
paying him therefor slOO per
acre. 1t was believed to be an
extravagant price, and it was
thought by maryland we be-
lieve with good reason-that il
the matter was opened to com.
petition, and notice given that
sealed proposals would be re-
ceived for the furni shing Of the
site, that suitable grounds could
have been purchased at much
lower figures. A petition nu>
merously slgned was presented
to the Trustees requesting such
action, but, was disregarded by
them, partly, as they claim, be-
cause certain wishy-washy indi-
viduals, after signing the petit
tion, went privately to them and
advised them to complete the
purchase. People who have nc
minds of their own ought not to
sign petitions of any nature, as
by taking one action in public
and the opposite in private, they
place public officers who are
compelled to act, in an unenvia'
BILE position.
However, this affords no ex
cuse for the Trustees, who should,
Of their own motion, have opened
the matter publicly for sealed
proposals. and then taken the
best grounds, all things con.
sidered, which were offered. =
Such transactions give genera
public satisfaction, and any other
mode gives just cause for gener'
al complaint. The purchase of 9
cemetery especially, is matter
Of peculiar interest to every
man, woman and child in tht
township and the greatest pub
licity and ample time to heal
from people, would have been bu
the commonest act of courtesy
which the Trustees virtually re
fused. While the action Of the
Board has all the time been
strictly legal, but little or no re
gard was paid to the wishes oI
the people, nor was the only &C.
cepted way of making fair ant
economical purchase adopted.

tanned no doubt Of his citizen

as a citizen. We may be per.
mltted to say, too, that his ma
jOrity has some political sig.
nificance. Not that all these
Democrats have turned Re-
publicans, but tina. the con-
duct of the Democratic party
generally, and of this county
particularly, has broken their
faith in the integrity of its
management, and they are no
longer ready to follow blindly,
The dictates of self constituted
party leaders, but are prepar-
ed 10 think for themselves. 1t
has more Significance, too, in
the election of Mr.. Wells than
would have been the case in
that Of any other man. 1t will
be remembered that the week
after the convention we SAID
we did not regard the nomlna-
tion the strongest that might
have been made. Not that
Mr.. Wells is not a worthy
young man in every respect,
but because he is a most ard
ent Republican, enthusiastic in
the defense Of his principles
and party, and sometimes in
discreet in his language, de-
nouncing his opponents in the
bitterest terms that he could
command. 1t was thought
that this might prove an ele-
ment of weakness in securing
Democratic support, but it is
credltable to them, that over
looking these moments Of ex.
citement, they took Mr.. Wells
in his true character OF a clev-
er, courteous gentleman, with
the independence and the man
hood to defend what he be.
lieved to be right, and voted
for him in preference to follow
ing the dictates of the ring
We say it is significant that
the ring, torturing and magnl-
flying all that Mr.. Wells might
or might not have said, were
unable to persuade the voters
to trust them once more. 1t
IS forerunner of the utter ex-
termination of the ring. 1t is
dead now if they only knew it,
hut they have been pulling at
the public tit SO long and it
has yielded so handsomely
that they will make a vigorous
effort this fail to retain their
grip. But the people will re-
pudiate them then as they
have now.

CoMRADE: The S clety oil

resolved, at its annual meet
ing, held in Detroit on the 18th
aud 10th inst, to erect a suita-
BILE monument to perpetuate,
in an enduring and appropr-
ate manner through all the
ages, the memory Of the great
services and lofty virtues Of Ma
jor- General George II Thomas.
The Society proposes to solicit
funds for this purpose through
out the whole of the United
States, and thus make the tes-
timonial truly national; and,
with this view, the Society ap-
peals to the public generally,
as we'll as to those who bore
arms in the late war, to con-
tribute to this worthy purpose.
The Society confidently be
lieves that the great military
services of Gen. Thomas, his
sublime and useful patriotism,
his unsullied and lofty lnteg-
rity, the grand simplicity and
purity of his character--in
short, the noble example of
his whole lite, which will, In
all time, teach to poSterity the
great lesson, that the path OF
duty is the path of glory, will
commend the design of perpet.
uating his memory by a suita-
BILE monument to the gener-
Gus munifcence of his coun-
trymen.
The Society appointed one
of its members, with power to
appoint such number of assist.
ants as he may deem neces-
sary, to solicit funds IN each
State. The undersigned was
appointed for this State; and
you are hereby most respect
fully and earnestly requested
to solicit subscriptions in your
county. The undersigned re.
quests that you will take the
matter in hand earnestly i'm

al subscription as possible
(He also suggests that, so far
as 1t may be possible, subscrip-
tionS be paid when made; and
that as rapidly as the money
is received, say to the amount
of fifty or one hundred dollars,
you remit the same to him,
that he may report it to the
treasurer of the Society,"
Further, that when you have
collected all you can in your
county, you remit the balance
In your hands, with your sub.

THE report that Theirs is to assume the
leadership of the Left in the stormy struggle
now commencing is the most encouraging IN
dication in French politics for many day.
His ability and firmness are unquestioned and
his long experience gives command OF the
situation and a knowledge of the adversa-ies
whom he must encounter, possessed by no
other man in France. His youth was passed
in conflict with the men of the Restoration,
and he thoroughly understands the tactics of
those who desire to revive the furnished
splendors of the Ancien Regime In his
manhood he held portfolio in the cabinet of
Louis Philippe, and he is cognizant of the
policy OF the partizans ofa bourgeois monarchy.
In his age he was a persistent opposer Of
Louis Napoleon, and no man is less likely
to be captivated by the pihchbeck finery OF
that parody in bad parody, the Third Empire.
During these last years he has successfully
fought the wild and revolutionary theories of
the "Reds." With all these advantages his
success of course is not assured, for no one
knows what day may bring forth in France
The cable may bring us intelligence any hour
of the proclamation of Henry the Fifth or Ma
poleon the Fourth, and news that the white
flag of the Bourbons or the eagles of the EN-
pire are displayed in the streets of Paris.
