A Coon deal ado is being made over
the departure of Hon: John A. Bingham

ious features of the last Congress was
manly, and deserves respect-but he was
on the wrong side Rep and Rep.
His nomination was a mistake In
deed? Grant then did make a mistake in
this instance? But why twas it not fit
to be made? 2" VAST because Bingham
was a Salary Grabber, a Credit MObili er-

The Atlantic Monthly gives this per-
trait of Gen Butler: Beginning as lawyer
Of a low reputation, he worked his way
up to the position of a strenuous partisan;
and then converting his reputation for
party fidelity into capital. he placed it at
the disposal of the party to which he was
a sworn foe. Then enlisting in the war.
and distinguishing himself for his admin
istration of a captured city, he made use
of this reputation to gain for himself the
command Of other military expeditions, IN
which he succeeded in bu~rlesquing every
operation of war: At the return of peace
he got himself elected a member of con-
gress, and has since then ADVOCATED every
scheme of plumber which his or any ones
ingenuity has been able to devise, his Ia
test performance has been the. passage of
an act securing for these services the
increase of his own salary. He Is neither
a fine orator nor a skillful legislator. None
of his political schemes have az yet come
to anything of Importance; but with each
new failure his power has increased, while
his wealth already places him beyond all
reach of disaster. He has always displayed
the utmost contempt even for the appear
ance of decency, and has avowed himself
almost in one breath areformer and a Gym
ical skeptic to any attempts at reform"

The Fairfield county defalcation has
been siftsd. Gen. J. n. Goldman has in
vestigated and reports a deficit of $l42,-
600. The robbery was perpetrated by D..
w. Towson and T. T. Baker. The former
has long been chief clerk in the Auditors
Office and the latter for a long time depu-
ty treasurer. These deputies conspired
Atogether and perfected the robbery which,
under the present system of keeping &C
of the several funds, has been 60
ing on for a number of years undecided.
Gen. Goldman exonerates the present
county officials from blame. While it Is
true that these deputies are Democrats,
the Commissioners who are Democrats,
and Auditor and Treasurer who are also
Democrats, as o as it was ascertained
that confusion existed in the books of the
county, at onee applied to the Auditor of
State to appoint an examiner. Mr. God
man was appointed and made a thorough
investigation. In his report General God
man says that to the system of overdrafts
u IAC AOA-SbdtoAACnS u oCpaAdGS dOSOOAto
of the several funds practiced by Towsen
and Baker is to be attributed the robbing
of the Treasury and the ability of these
robbers to conceal their villainies for a
long series of years.
These two men in Fairfield county were
a couple of sap heads. Why did they not
manage to have the county build iron
bridges, or dig bitches, or dispose of
county railway stock2 In this way they
might have hurt the county and net so
much endangered themselves. There is
the mode direct and the mode indirect
the fool knave's mode and the shrewd
knaVe's mode. They oughtto have taken
lessons Of Cakes Ames, Grant, Butler and
Company. Credit Mobilier and Salary
Grab were done according to Laa0.
These two chaps IN Fairfield were
doubtless young and green and probably
%"fast," and were not "carpet-baggers."
If they had only gone into the service of
this Grant Administration-gone south
or acted in a "loyaP' way, the fools might
have made it and still been mice men,"

On Monday last. while Mr.. Hotchkiss
of this place, was engaged in work of some
description near his barn, he suddenly
heard a whizzipg sound as if some missile
was being hurled through the air, and act
ing under the impulse of the moment,
jumping backward, when some object
struck the earth near where he had been
standing, unfolding itself in the ground.
He was considerably frightened at the
time and went into the house, but in if
teen or twenty minutes went to the place
where the missile had struck, and digging
down twelve or fourteen inches found the
object which proved to be an Aerolite or
meteoric stone. The stone came from a
so~uth-easterly direction, and when taken
from the ground was quite hot, and looked
as if small pieces had been Clipped off in
It's serial journey. 1t was broken in two

EDWIN FERRAnL, Esqr., Of CarrolHon,
was nominated as candidate for the Sen
ate of Ohio by the Democratic and Liberal
convention (which met at Waynesburgh
on Thursday of last week. No better
nomination could have been made, for it
is admitted, opraH hands, that Mr.. Ferrall
rs an intelligent and worthy citizen. He
is well known over Carroll county and
quite popular among people Of all poll
teal parties.
Mr.. Ferrall is a native of Carroll county
and has thus far lived there. For a few
years past he has resided in Carrollton.
He served four years as Sheriff of the
county some years ago, and had a couple
of Democratic townships done their duty,
Mr.. FerraI would have been elected to
the Constitutional Convention last Spring.
We are confident that Mr. Ferran is 9
man much better qualified for the posi-.
ton of Senator than John T. Perdue, oil

and Carroll will consider the question and
let the best man win. re 2a'aa =

was issued, and which it never intended to

it was returned to the general agent, who
notified the special agent, but the latter
neglected to notify the applicant. The
Judge of the United States District Court
