~Tbe democrats concede tn

RThe democrats concede they
have found an honest Republican
holding office. Col. Burr is Warden
of the Ohio Penitentiary. 1t came
to the ears of the democratic men,
bers of the Legislature that he was
feeding. at the expense of the State,
ether persons than members of his
own family. The result was a COM
mittee of investigation. The inves-
tigation took place, and the facts are
brought out that the rules of the
Penitentiary do not allow the Warden
or his family to be boarded at the
States expense, and furthermore that
Burr had at all times provided every
thing used by him or his family. The
charge was completely refuted, and
the democrats are now looking for q
hole to creep out of.

Now. we, according toour abilities as
players, a play pieces, not only in
all those black keys, bat also in any

keys, and ear make any modula-
tions, Maj IT or Minor, known to
