Current Notes.

Next Tuesday elections occur in
New York, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and other
States. These elections will settle
the political character of the next
Congress.
Less hours in the public schools is
question of Importance in certain
localities just now.
1t comes from the best authority
that President Grant has grown
weary of the third-term talk, and will
in short time put quietus upon it,
asserting his purpose not to be can
didate again though he should be re-
nominated in convention.
The gossips of Washington have
made up the following ticket for the
Republicans in 1876: Washburne,
of Illinois, for President, and Speaker
Blaine for Vice President.
An airy wedding-one above the
clouds-occurred in Cincinnati last
week. 1t took place in balloon, the
intrepid DONALDSON acting as naviga-
tor. The parties are members of
BARNUM's Roman Hippodrome. The
officiating minister was Rev. H. B.
Jeff'ries, Swedenborgian, of Pittsburg.
The balloon was over q mile high be-
fore the ceremony was completed.
No accident occurred.
The Big Sandy Packet Company
has renewed its contract with the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, and the Fleetwood and Bosto-
ma will run fast line again as soon
as the river rises.
Frederick Dent Grant. son of the
President, and Ida Marie Honore,
were married at Chicago on the 2Oth. |
The Vermont Legislature has re-
elected Edmonds to the U. S. Senate.
Phelps, the New York State Treas
ury official convicted on indictments
charging embezzlement, larceny and
forging. has been sentenced to the
penitentiary for fifteen years.
Private advices from Germany say
there is considerable uneasiness be-
cause of the recent declarations of
two States in favor of redeeming
United States bonds in greenbacks
instead of coin.
One of the curiosities of the late |
election was a Republican victory in
Holmes county. Such a thing was
never heard of before.
The people of Clermont county

OrPrcIAL.--Tbe democratic ma
jority on Secretary of State, in Ohio
is 1902. The Prohibition vote
is 1916. The total vote polled is
467 7,425, 62,Oll less than was polied
for President in 1872. The Republl-
can vote is AZ, 446 less than in 1872,
and the democratic vote 5,9l5 less.
These figures show that the demo-
Gratis are entitled to their victory be-
cause of light vote-that instead of
increasing their vote, it has fallen off
near sic thousaad-and that the State
is still Republican on a full vote,
which we shall have for President in
1876. Growing under such circum-
stances is no more than the whistle
of the boy who is still in the woods.

Record, are on new railroad project.
1t is a proposition of the NJ. d G..

In Louisiana the Democrats refuse
to give employment to any person
that votes the Republican ticket, and
the democrats of the North respond,
amen! Were the Republicans to do
such thing, the roar of democratic
throats would equal a good sized tor

The Ohio Penitentiary, under Re-
publican rule, yearly paid into the
State Treasury thousands of dollars,
earnings in excess of expenditures.
We see it stated now since it became
a democratic nest egg, that it has be-
come burden to the State, its ex-
penditures largely exceeding its re-
ceipts. Democratic victories cost
money.

THE committed appolnted to ln

The committee appointed to IN
vestigate the official conduct of Au-
ditor GRIFFIN, of Meigs county, have
concluded their work and submitted
a report. In regard to the fraudu-
lent practices with which this officer
is charged, the committee say;
The actual frauds consist OF orders
on the county treasurer payable
mostly out of the Bridge fund, some
of them in favor of fictitious per
sons. some in favor of former bridge
contractors and known citizens, and
some are duplicates of former or
ders.
There are also county revenue or
ders drawn by him in his own favor
without the authority of the COM
missioners, and not sanctioned by
law.
The orders decided to be fraudu-
lent amount to $1937, so. Having
been detected he returned to the
treasury the proceeds of two of these
orders amounting to $11S, leaving
$1,S19.50 which Auditor Griffin
fraudulently obtained from the coun-
ty Treasury.
The frequency of these defalca-
tions on the part of county officials
shows the necessity of new and addi-
tional legislation upon the subject.
The present system of checks and
safeguards is a failure, and he who
can suggest better and more effect
i've plan would do the people a good
service. In conversation with
Judge JOHNSON, of Ironton, few
years since, upon this subject, he
suggested system which struck us
as worfkynf Legislative attention. 1t
was this. Divide the State into as
many districts as may bu considered
advisable, and then select from each
district by appointment or election, a
competent person to act as Tx
aminer, whose duty it shall be, as of
ten as four times in each year, to
visit each county in his district and
thoroughly examine every office and
matter pertaining to the administra
tion of county affairs. These visits
should not be fixed by law, but left
wholly to the discretion of the Ex-
aminer, so that he might appear
when least expected. In that way
the officer would be compelled to keep
all things in order, especially if there
was a further provision in the law
requiring the Examiner to suspend
the officer in case of any malfeasance.
Something similar to this is provided
for in the law establishing National
and it works well. They are
subject to inspection at any moment.
their books, papers, money, every
thing. Some people may object to
this system because of the cost.
Why, the loss in Butler county alone,
which occurred but a few years
since, would pay the expenses for
years. We have seen it stated that |
the people of, Ohio, within the last
five years, have lost over half a mil
lion Of dollars by these defalcations.
Thus any plan which would stop this
waste of public funds would be
1t seems to us that there
is great merit In some such system as
is above suggested, and we give this
presentation of it for pub
lie consideration.

The editor Of the Portsmouth
Times ought to be just to Mr.. BUNDY
in the flush of. victory, but it seems
that his malignant partisanship will
not permit it. In speaking of Mr..
BUNDY's duty when he returns to
Congress in December, drawn from
the recent vote of the district, the
editor says:
They have declared that there is
not money enough in the country to
transact its legitimate business, and
he should vote for such relief as is
prudent for the country.
The wrong herein committed and
put upon Mr.. BUNDY is the implied
charge that our Representative has
been opposed to the scheme of more
money, while the truth is, as every
intelligent reader knows, and the edi-
tor of the Times knows likewise, that
Mr. BUNDY occupied the very front of
the friends of imitation, voting in
every instance with the most ad-
vanced members upon this subject.
Under such circumstances the impli-
cation of the Times is both unfound-
ed and unjust.

PNEUMATIC TELEGRAPHY.-An inter
esting exhibition of telegraph machines
worked exclusively by air, was lately
given in London by the inventor. A
number of different instruments were
on view. The impulse is produced at
one end of tube by the operator, and
performs the mechanical work at the
other end, either by ringing bell or
turning a needle round a dial. The
rapidity and precision can be made
equal to the electric telegraph, the con-
Quoting tube being able to be laid under
or cover in the same manner as the or
dinary telegraph. Attached to each
machine is a bell and dial, and the
message is transmitted by the moving
of small lever which drives the air
through pipe to the other operator.
As the lever is moved up and down, the
dial, which stands where the message is
destined for, registers whatever the
words may be. Each dial is supplied
with needle and as each spurt of air
presses against the works of the ma
chine, the needle is moved exactly the
number of times that the lever is
pressed. Each instrument can receive
or send a message about 400 yards.
The instruments exhibited were de-
signed for INSTRUMENTATION between
large coffee houses, offices, hotels, and
vessels.
