THE GAGE CASE.
Silly Newspaper Rumors Concerning
a. Proposed Compromise. {.
The Facts Which Lcd to Them.

There have been street rumors about the Hage
case for seyoral days, which have at last found
thoir way into two Or throo newspapers, reokless
Of what they print, to the effect :that schemo
for compromise is on foot, by which Mr. Gage's
bonasmen aro to mako up his dofalcation, md
the city authorties to ugrea not to prosecute Mr..
Gago cr!ninally. A very slight knowledge Of tho
law. and tho 3alntest familiarity with tho present
condition Of tho Gago case, would have pre-
vented 30 absurd d publication. The
prosecution Of 11r. Gage III not in
tho handB Of tho city authoritios, aud never has
boon mud, were ho and hts bondsmen to pay
over to tho city ton times the amount OF tho de-
fal cation, tie city authorities would bo powor-
less to put an end to tho criminal proceedings,
oven il they wcro iiBposed to do 40. The rumors
that hayo been given go far may, therefore, bo
disposed Ct summnrllyi as ut once Impossible and
absurd It Ia true. however, that therc arc ao,no
new features in tho case, which arc na follows |:
CONCERNING THE PROSECUTION.
" Tho caHo Is to como up this morning on mo-
tion to quaph tho second indictment for perjury.
Whother Or not t4is, motion will TO argiidd or
postponed, it is pretty certain TINT Mr. Gago's
COUNSEL will, before long, moye for chaugo Of
vonuo to Lake County. Illla motion will bo
based upon tho representation TINT public opinion
has boon excited against Mr. Gage In this conf
munfty, aud that he will not bo sure OF fur and
side influences against him. The granting Of
such change Of vonuo is entirely in tito dis
orotion Of tic Court, and is, usually determined
by tho evidence tending to show prejudice
ago!l'st tho porson on trial.
CONCERNING THE PAYMENT or THE MONEY,
Mr., 1ago and his fricnds HOW claim, as they
4ayo claimed all along, that the full amount
will be paid to the city, and new plan has boon
devised Which will probably lead to apeedior
realization Of thls Intention. Tho p1an COM.
preeuds
Fsrst-The Willingness Of Mr. Gage's bonds
men to raiBe 91UO,U00 Of tho money atno1g
themselves, without waiting to be prosecuted tp
tho Supreme Court, and apply this % tho pay
mont Of tho deficiency.
Sccond-The exchange Of Mr.. GaEos River
side bonds for Riverside property, which can
more readily bo converted into money.
Thfrd-Tho negotiation by an experienced
lnancior. who Inns consented to act rs tho ageut
for Mr. Gage and his bondsmen, to convert into
money tho property which Air. dage has already
transferred to the city.
IN CONCLUSION, i.
1t is worry cloar that thoro cannot DO any oonnoc-
tion batWooh tho two movements. The city at1-
tllorito5 are, OF cutrse, anxious to got tho
money, ~ thoy should DO, but they cannot on
tint. account agroo not to prosecute, aud 1t
would avail nothing II they did. Tho prosecn-
tlon is in tho hands OF tho Stnto, and l1r. Gage
must DO tried tiuder the inuictmcntB,- there il
no getting around TINT. The connection which
has beon 1dado betweeu tic tto foaturos In tho
chan Ina placou tito whole matter III false
light. The facts arc aB hkated abope.

THANKSGIVING has come and gone.
It's advent ushered in the ever enjoya-
BILE season of turkey dinners and tea
parties. A very pleasant little dinner
party assembled at the residence Of Mr..
Charles Ariek, last Saturday evening,
in honor of Mrs. Davis, Mr.. Arick's
only sister and wife of DIR. Davis of
Cincinnati, and Mr.. Simeon Pickering
of Athens, who have been stopping with
them for several days past. The man.
ner in which the guests disposed of the
bountiful supply of good things pro-
vided by the genial host and fair
hostess for the wants of the inner man,
showed more plainly than words can
express it, how highly their hospitality
was appreciated. Not withstanding the
inclemency of the weather all express
ed themselves as having spent a very
delightful evening.

A sIGNBoARD is a notice to passers-
by often unheeded. A newspaper is a
challenge to curiosity. A signboard
cannot circulate. A newspaper circu-
Iates like rumor. A signboard stays
with its owner. A newspaper visits
the country round. 1t is well to keep
up your sign; it is better to keep up
your advertising.
