The Rallville bridge Matter

We called attention, last week, to
the matter of Mr.. Morrison's coaaec-
tion with the Ballville bridge, not
that we believed there was any trath
in the charges made, but because
they had been circulated for some
weeks, and dinned in our ears so of
ten, that we desired to set the mat
ter at rest, and if there was any truth
in them to probe it. We know tull
well how persons occupying public
positions, whether official or other
wise, are often misjudged and SLAM
dered by the "they say people, and
are rather pleased than otherwise at
the terse manner in which Mr.. Nor
rison disposes of the charges made
against him, in regard to this mat
ter in the following card:
EDITOR JOURNAL: Having read your re-
marks in last weeks Journal in regard to my
superintendent of the work at BallviIle
bridge, accord you reply. The charge that
1 am receiving three dollars per day as Com
missioner, for looking after the work, is un-
true. The other charge, that receive FIVE
dollars day for superintendent of the same,
is utterly false, and is undoubtedly the coin
age of an individual who desired to obtain the
job of experimenting the work. at five dollars
a day, but was refused, the Commissioners
that amount had better be saved to
the county, and practical workman employed
to do the work, as is the case, Mr.. George
Ogden being employed for thatpurposs.
The simple facts are these, the Commission
ers have been in session the greater part of
the time for some weeks, on roads, bitches,
bridges, and the regular September session.
As the Ballville bridge is on my way to and
from the Court House, the Commissioners
directed me to watch the work, and when any
hing was needed, to order the same for the

ate and spart from my daily fees while at
ending the sessions of the Board. This is all |
hat believe It necessary to say in regard to
he matter. JOHN MORRISON.
Ifthose individuals who have been
10 busy in circulating the charges
eferred to, have anything to say;
n any proof to offer that Mr.. Nor
ison's statement is not correct, we
re ready to hear them. We have
lterviewed Mr.. Sandwich, another
f the Commissioners, and he con-
rms Mr.. Ms statement. In refer
ng to this matter at all we were
only by proper motives. If
lere was any truth in the charges,
was but right the people should s
now it, and if there was not, they
ere equally interested in knowing +
lat the charges were false,a their /
)nfdence not abused. .

i
This is a Democratic community
"A very Democratic community
one of those places where the rule O.
the greatest good to the greatest
number" is enforced-in theory il
not in fact. And the way they do il
is whenever the leaders adopt pol
icy, to enforce it at all hazards
Well, the leaders have adopted a
policy in regard to the saloon keep
ers; and that policy is to make them
vote for and use all their influence
for Geo. E. Seney for Congress.
They had reason to suppose some
of them were so well pleased with
Chas. Foster that they would vote
for him if left to themselves or in
fuence friends vote for him. So
the leaders determined to "put on
the Screws" and snake them come
to time, -d-n 'em,' as one of them
expressed it. AS they could only
work upon this class through their
business, they finally concluded they
would threaten them with the Nc
Connellsville ordinance. There was
considerable squalling among some
Of the leaders, at this, for as a rule
they like their beer as well as the
rank and file; but it was finally
agreed upon as war measure, and
the proper ones were sent out to no
tify the saloonists that if they did
not vote for Seney and use all their
influence for him, they would force
the council to pass the McConnells-
vile ordinance. There you have it.
The entire liquor interest of the dis
trict, by threats or otherwise, is to
be concentrated on Seney and Finne-
frock against Foster and Pennewell.
There is no question about this.
Such is the policy of the leaders of
the Democracy. The saloonists, of |
course, are such Independent men
they will at once whip in. They are
so Independent they will allow these
self-constituted leaders to threaten
and brow beat them until they do
heir bidding like whipped spaniels.
But what will Pin and Gurst and |
he rest Of them do for their beer
When the McConnellsville ordinance
lecorates the statute book of the
corporation?

SENEY at home is known by many
small tricks, such as avoiding con-
tributions for public improvements,
subscriptions for the benefit of his
town, &c, but among all the little
tricks we have heard ofthe one when
he had an attachment issued against
piano, &c, belonging to a young
lady to secure a debt against her
father, is the smallest we have heard
of. The young lady had purchased
the same with her own earnings, and
they we're in no ways liable for her
fathers debts, but the "Judge"
thought otherwise and took the
chances. The court dissolved the
attachment, but it could not dissolve
the stain on Seney's character. Can
you vote for man so heartless?

The I.enders, necree.


And the Leaders said-"W "Where-
fore shall these men sell beer, or
wine, or strong drink, which please
our tastes and minister to our appe-
tites? Is itnot because it profteth
them, and bringeth into their cof-
fers the contributions of the rich and
poor alike? Therefore, if we permit
them this privilege, verify they must
do our bidding. Yea they must
bow down their knees and worship
us. They must vote for the man
Seney, who is of the household of
faith. True, he wandered off into
the ranks of the oppressors of the
South, but he never lost his faith,
nor wavered in his attachment to
Democracy, writing as he did his
lllustrious name upon his ballot
when he deposited it for the Saint
Vallandigham.. Yea, and here is
Thomas, he who was so true to De
mocracy, that when his Southern
brethren were beaten in battle, and
their goods despoiled, he bewailed
the event even as though they were
of his own household. And when
the Union Army was beaten, and
our Southern brethren were rejoicing
and making merry, did he not fill up
the bowl of rejoicing and quaff the
waters Of exhileration, until his
hand grew unsteady and his voice
tremulous with glee? Yea, verify,
and though. afterwards, he did be-
come like unto one of the enemies
of the Southland preach the levying
of war against the confederacy, was
it not that he might be in safety to
give aid and comfort secretly to our
brethren? Thomas must have their
suffrages, likewise. And ii they will
not do this thing. If they hearken
not unto our bidding, and do not
all that we command them; then,
verify, will we dispoil them of their
privileges. Yea, we will wrest from
them the power TO sell beer, wine, or
strong drink. We will even visit
upon them the McConnellsville Or
dinance, which in our own souls we
despise, and make them drink of the
bitter waters, even the waters of
Meribath! Lo! the Leaders have
spoken. Let the decree be pro-
claimed"

II is said Ben Butler is sending
money into this district to help beat
Foster. Ben is an arrant knaye
and don't want Foster in Congress
unearthing matters he wants to keep
hid. A strong reason Why the peo-
pie Of this district should return the
man who knows how to "stir up the
tigers" Vote for Foster.

JUDGE SENEY has notified the Dem
ocratic leaders that they must not
expect him to pay out his money
for campaign purposes. He knows
the chance of his election are about
as good as his chance ofbeing struck
by lightning, and he don't propose
to have them fatten on his purse.
He knows how it was with Sloane,
and don't propose to let thost fellows
rob him. Seney is wise.

From the Register we learn that
Judge Seney spoke in Fishers Hall,
Sandusky, recently, and spoke well
of Mr.. Foster in regard to his at
tack of Ben. Butler, but said he
lacked the courage to attack Rich
ardson, the Secretary of the Treas
ury. Judge Seney knew taat state
ment to be false, for on the Friday
previous in Tifin, he made the same
statement and his attention was
called to Mr.. Fosters speech and he
was shown what had been said in
reference to the Treasury Depart
ment. We take one extract from
Fosters speech bearing on the point
and ask that Judge Seney take back
his bare-faced assertions.
The most painful part of my duty
is to speak in terms of unmistaks-
bic condemnation of the manner in
which this law was administered by
the Treasury officials. This would
be painful under any circumstances,
and is doubly SO to me, because 1
am condemning the acts ofmy party
associates.
My position as a member of the
Ways and Means Committee is such
as to give me some knowledge of the
duties of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. I think 1 know something of
the arduons and responsible duties
imposed upon this important officer.
Knowing this, 1 trust that in all
my acts have had due regard to all |
the responsibility resting on hin, and |
that fully appreciated the delicate |
nature of his duties. For the Sec
retary and subordinates I have none
but the kindest feeling, and nothing |

THE friends of the Wheeling and
Lake Erie R. R., between Milan and
Toledo, have been making a thorough
canvass of the line between those
two points. The committee to which
the duty was assigned had a meet
ing at Oak Harbor recently, when
I. B. Clark, of Riley township, this
County, was added to the commit
tee, and meeting was called to be
held in Rice township to canvass the
matter there. We have not learned
the result of the meeting, but can
assure the people of Fremont that
the friends of that line are active,
and that the building of the road is
mere question of time. 1t is
definitely located to Milan, and un-
der contract as far as Wellington; !;
the contracts between that point and
Milan will soon be let. If anything
is going to be done to divert the road
to this place there is no time to lose.
We are not certain that it can be
diverted, but VIC are certain it can
not be without an effort. The only
question is will our people allow the
territory north of us to be subdl-
vided az it has been south, without
an effort to PREVENT

The Way Il WAC Done.

When the Leaders of the Democ-
raey concluded to have Seney make
a raid on the saloons, Milt was sent
out as an advance guard, to gather
up the population Seney was anxious
to secure. Milt would drop in at a
saloon and say to the keeper. "Send
out and gather in the Irish. Seney
will be around in an hour. Hurry
up noww And then he would re-
sumo his walk to the next saloon to
repeat the-process. And this is the
way they gathered them in "for Sc
ney." What about those noble
words now, George, "no money with
which to buy votes.o

but a sense of public duty leads me
to make an uniavorsble criticism on
their acts.
/ cannot overlook the csrelessness
and generally loose management Of
this matter by the Treasury Depart
ment. Their several contradictions
and disagreements about matters of
which there should be perfect accord
IS fact to be deplored. Their at
tempt to shift responsibility, one
from the other, is discreditable to
all of them implicated in the trans
action.
Itis impossible with the evidence
now before US to determine Just
where the responsibility for the NAL
administration of the law rests; but
that it rests somewhere in the Treas
ury Department is the. general
verdict of all who have given this
matter their attention. The motive
governing and controlling its admin
istration am not able to under
stand; but l do know that Sanborn
has been permitted to collect taxes
that could have been easily collected
by the ordinary agencies, and the
Treasury in its depleted condition
has been robbed of over 100000,
and this money has gone into the
pockets of Sanborn. The depart
ment permitting this irregularity is
deserving the condemnation of the
people, and the officers controlling
it are unfit to remain in its charge.
Further than this, Mr.. Fosters
committee condemned the Treasury
officials, and Secretary Richardson,
Assistant Secretary Sawyer and one
or two others were forced to resign
not for dishonesty, but for incompe-
tency. Let Judge Seney be reason
ably fair and not state things that
he knows to be false.
