We are glad to be able to announce

There seems to DO q variety OF
opinion as to how we'll tho present
Board has served the interests OF
the town during the past year, and
rs to how judicious have been the
expenditure Of money by them. Some
find fault with the amounts expended
upon the Fire Department, while the
members Of the Department, and those
most directly interested therein, ap-
prove Of tho same. Some complain
about the amounts expended on the
streets, aud that Main street especially

clare that the streets were never

The case Of Mr. Jshn X. Mclean,
business manager OF the Cincinnati
Enquirer, finsd aud sent to jail for re-
fusing to tell where his paper obtained
certain information, is again before
the courts. What the law may DO In
Ohio, It Is net for US to say; but COM
mon sense and public policy are on
the side OF Mr.. Mclean, and We must
admire the pluck with which he stands
to his colors. 1t Is clearly the duty Of
a journalist to keep the secrets Of his
contributors, and Ii Is for the interest
OF the com munity that he shoald do so.
On tho other hand, no must W at
tempt to shelter himself behind an
anonymous correspondent. When no
accepts Information brought to him by
any one who wishes to remain con-
cealed, he must adopt It A. his own,
and stand ready to abide by tho con-
sequences. IL he makes charges, he
must be prepared to give the proofs
when he Is properly called upon, and
to pay the penalty II the charges turn
out to BE- untrue. No good object can
be served by requiring him, In addition
to all this, TO betray the names Of per-
IONS who give Information In conf
dencc.

LIVELY.

In the Senate yesterday Q rather
curious discussion grew up In connec-
ton with the Presidents veto OF tho
Finance bill. Senator Conkling wanted
the matter taken up next Friday and
disposed OF without debate. Sherman
wanted 1t postponed until Monday
next. Thurman wanted tho bill dis
posed Of at once, and put his foot In 1t
by expressing n desire for the return
OF the good old Jacksonlan times,
''when the President had wholesome
influence on Congress" Edmunds
went after Thurman's scalp BY saying
that the difference between Republic
AN aud Democratic administrations
was, that In the former the Executive
attended to his constitutional duties,
.ot interfering with Senators, while In
Jackson's day q Senator failing 10
support the measures Of tho Admins
tratiou was ostraclssd BY the President
and his party. In the Republican
party every Senator had q right to his
opinions. and acted according to them.
Then Thurman, = little lnconslstently,
Il would seem, returned to the charge,
and accused the President Of dslng
the very things which he had CON-
mended as characteristic Of the Jack
ssnian Admin stration, aud expressed
q desire to have repeated. He cited
the famens San Domingo question ~
q case where the influence Of the Pres
idsnt was felt In tho Senate, and the
ease OF Sumner rs one where 4 Re-
publican Senator was humiliated be-
cause he refused to support an Adj
minlstratlon measure. Several Sena-
tors then engaged In the controversy,
denying that Summer was displaced
from his position as Chairman Of the
Committee on Foreign Relations be-
cause he opposed the San Domingo
job, but claiming that the reason for
his removal was because no was not
on speaking terms with either the
President or Secretary Fish. Taken
altogether this little discussion seems
to have been quite lively.
