The chief clerk of the Republican Au-
ditor of State in answer to the Xenia
Gazette (Republican) makes estimates
that establishes the fact, that ii aOiU cost
to administer the State uHaer tie Ne7O
Constitution in ten yeays, f1O0 and half
million dollars more than under thepres-
ent Constitution One such fact over
whelms all other considerations and
should defeat the instrument, however
good it might be in other respects. What
a pleasant duty the taxpayers will be
performing when they vote down the
New Constitution. Carroll Chronicle.

THE Erout Of Radicalism which has been
sweeping the States Of every section dur
ing the past year has now reached the
Territories of the far West. The letter
of our Denver correspondent, elsewhere
printed, reveals the existence of an ire
parable breach in the Republican party
Of Colorado and the most widespread
dissatisfaction Of the people with both
the factions into which it has split. The
Democrats OF Colorado, with a platform
Of uncompromising hostility to GRANT,
GRANTS Governor, MCCooK, and to the
Indian policy which leaves the people of
Colorado liable at any time to be robbed
and murdered by exasperated savages,
are certain of an overwhelming victory
both in the local and Congressional cleo
tons. CHAFFEE, the Republican Dele
gate from Colorado in the Forty third
Congress, will be replaced by a Demo-
crat in the Forty-fourth.

THE people of Ohio on the 18th inst,
are to vote upon important questions di-
rect-not for men at all. The voting
then is not to place men into position,
but to decide upon the fundamental law
Of the State. This contest is not Of a
political party character, and neither
party has taken any steps in that direc-
ton. True, some unprincipled dema-
gogues and political tricksters, may seek
to give the thing party direction for a
selfish purpose. Political parties are not
organized upon temporary measures,
such as New Constitution and License,
and hence such matters are usually, nay
we may say invariably, left to the free
individual action of the people, as they
should be.

THE excursionist accompanying Mr..
c. w. Fields to Iceland, who go out to
the millenial celebration, report the prog
ress ofthe journey in the following words
under date of July 10th; l
I We arrived at Thorsham, Farce Islands,
yesterday afternoon, all in good health
and spirits. The King Of Denmark
reached Thorsham a few days before us,
and will sail for Iceland tomorrow after
noon. We shall leave to-monow morn
ing, as we wish to be in Iceland when the
King arrives. We are all delighted with
what we have seen. This morning the
Thorsham was full Of persons anxious to
hear sermon, and, perhaps, some to
see the King Of Denmark, who was pres
ent. Thorsham presents gay and beau
tiful sight. every vessel in harbor, and
every house in town flying the Danish
flag. Our steamers have the American
flag at the fore. and the Danish on the
main and the English at the stern.

WITHIN period Of about eighteen
months, Moses has pardoned and set
free from the South Carolina penitentia-
ry, over 400 convicted criminals, placed
there for every conceivable crime on the
calender. IN doing this he has made no
distinction ofrace or condition. but has
extended his leniency to black and white
alike. AS with most carpet bagging
Governors in the South, under the ad-
ministration Of Moses, there has been no
reason for the existence of a state prison;
except as a subterfnge TO draw the mon
ey of the people from their pockets. In
pardoning these criminals. Moses knows
himself. how sweet il is to be at large to
prey upon an easily deceived public, as
he was for brief period, in terror Of
knowing the unpIeasantness Of con6ne-
ment in 3 damp and solitary prison ;
and he cannot see the good in locking
up men no worse than himself. as he
finds nothing in their deeds to condemn.

OUR TTCKET.

We place at the head of our editorial
column the ticket nominated Saturday
last. The primary meetings were pas
SADLY well attended in the towns and
villages, but throughout the county the
turnout was small. The entire vote
polled will hardly reach fifteen hundred.
The three gentlemen nominated for
the positions to be filled in the county
this fall, received decided majorities and
this expression should, and doubtless
will, make them entirely acceptable to
our Democratic friends throughout the
county.
Mr.. JOSEPH A. BoUR, for clerk, is a
worthy young man, born and brought
up in Canton, but for nearly a year past
has been living near Massillon. He
read law with Coll S. Meyer, and was
admitted to the Bar about year ago.
Mr.. Bour would make an attentive and
competent clerk of the Courts,
LEO NARD RABER Esq nominated for
county Commissioner, better known as
Lien, is farmer near Greentown, in
Lake township. He is an active man,
of excellent business Judgment and is
just the man to fill that position with
credit to himself and proper care and
economy to the county.
WILLIAM STovER, Of Lawrence town
ship, was nominated for lnhrmary Di-
rector, and no better choice could have
been made. Mr.. Stoyer is a farmer, and
of business experience and knowledge.
He is just the man for the position.

For the past twenty years the mo
License Law" has been in effect, the evil
results Of which is apparent to every in
telligent voter. Now that the opportu-
nifty is presented, let us endeavor to
remedy this defective law by voting
For License. ."-Leetonia Reporter.
And the fifty years during which Ohio
had license law, prior to 1852, so dis
gusted people at that time that they vo-
ted against license. The experience
then, was that it was disregarded and
seldom was any one prosecuted for yio-
lating the law. Let US have just and
correct laws and all equal before the
law. This Is the Democratic Jeffersoni-
an rule. r.H .f..

THE New York 2ri6Hne, speaking Of
the Republican address, says it does Mr..
John A. Logan and his thirty-eight fell
low-contributors great credit. The man
ner in which the whole thirty-nine vault
lightly upon the banisters Of Time at
about the period of Ptolemy l. and slide
gracefully down to the Heptarchy and
the Conquest, and then to the Admins
tration of Mr.. Buchanan, is worthy of all
praise. There has been nothing like it
since the deIuge.

A CASE similar to that Of the boy
murderer Pomeroy Of Boston, has come
to light in New York A girl named
Henrietta Marble, fifteen years old, was
arrested for attempting to burn babe
that was left in her care, She confessed
to other attempts of the same kind, and
the only reason she giyesfor her fiendish-
ness was that she "just felt like doing it."
Here is another strange case for the Pro-
fessors.

THE Erie Railway, of which Hon. H.
]. Jewett has been chosen President, is
one Of the longest lines of railroad in the
world, and employs $1,000 persons in
various occupations. 1t is estimated that
there is scarcely an hour of the day or
night when there are not one hundred
trains in actual running along its line.
The administration of such force of
men, the management of such system
ofrailroad trains, require executive ability
of the very highest order.

UNDERESTIMATE THE INCREASED
COST or THEJUDICIdRY

We are satisfied that both the Auditor
Of State and Hon. Joseph w. Root un-
derestimate the increased cost of the Ju-
dietary under the proposed New Consti-
tuition. They so onthe presumption that
the salary of the Common Pleas Judges
will not be increased. They will be in
creased. Never yet has the salary of the
Supreme Judges been increased without
increasing the salary of the Common
Pleas Judges. Forty-six Common Pleas
Judges as Lobbyists for the increase of
their salary cannot be resisted by the
Legislature.
The cost Of the Judiciary will be doub-
led under the proposed New Constitution,
at least Wayne Co. Democrat.

THE Charleston correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial has this to say of
the South Carolina Legislature:
"The Legislature is den of thieves,
and ignorant, stupid, bigoted, black
thieves at that. Take the convicts IN the
Ohio Penitentiary, organize them IN
body, call it the Legislature and you have
a better body Of men than any Legislature
South Carolina has had since 1868. And
further, statistics will show that the Ohio
convicts are better educated than the
South Carolina Lawmakers, and better
qualified to perform the duties of the Of
flee. More of them can read more of
them can write, more of them know the
difference between Watts hymns and
the Constitution of the United States, Ii
the most intelligent men in the Peniten-
tiary had been selected in 1868 as legisla-
tors of South Carolina and continued in
office until to-day, | have no hesitancy
in saying that the conditions Of affairs
here would be better"
THE Pittsburgh United Presbyterian
administers the following rebuke to our
seaside lounging and horse racing Presi-
dent: ...f
president Grant has been at camp
meeting, where he was introduced and
applauded. He also spent an hour on
the preachers platform shaking hands,
after which 200 little girls passed in re-
view before him singing, "Oh, I'm so
glad Jesus loves me-" It's said the Presi-
dent was much moved" by the incident
possibly in pity that these spiritual in
terests of the children could be thus tam
pered with at place of religious wor-
ship"

bill the object Of which is to tear up the

him urging him to do so and produce

evils resulting therefrom.
AS IN THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION.
"No license to traffic in intoxicating
liquors shall hereafter be granted in this
State but the General Assembly may,
by law, provide against evils resulting

1t will be seen that the license clause
