jority of the voters by the beginning of summer,
time enough to control the nominations for
county officers the coming fall. Then will come
the "tug of war" to show whether IL is to be
useful institution or the cats paw of the politi
clans. There is a great deal of discomfort among
the people at the enormous salaries now paid
county officials. The grangers propose to
remedy this and bring the fees TO proper level.
Apropos to this subject, why would IL not be
good plan 10 sell out each of the county offices
every two years al public auction to the lowest
bidder, who would, under bonds, agree to do al
the work required in his Office under the laws of
Ohio? Offices that now bring in the shape of
fees s., 900 year. would find plenty OF compe-
tent men, who would do all the work required
for $1,000 per annum. Would not this be the sur
est way TO reach low salaries and give every
competent person an equal chance To hold Of
flee? An Old gentleman residing near Stonelick
bridge in this county, by the name of James
Moore, committed suicide yesterday morning by
cutting his throat with razor. He went out
while the family were at breakfast, into his gar
den lot on his farm close to the house, and there
did the deed. The family found him dead about
one hour after he left the house. He was highly
esteemed and was an elder in the church at
Stonelick. A son of his was sent to the Dayton
lunatic asylum, and this preyed on his mind so
terribly that reason was dethroned.

PARTISAN PErTINESS.
DIRTY WORK IN OWEN COUNTY.

DlRTf WORK IN OWEN COUNTY.
The Owen County Journal makes indig-
nant protest against a recent change in the
postoffice at Spencer by the "great party:'
Miss Matte E. Mcdaniel has been removed
from her position as postmistress at Spencer,
and A. j. Buchanan appointed in her stead.
Had the wishes of majority OF the citizens
of both political parties been respected, Miss
Mcdaniel would have been retained in the
place. But the behests of handful of poll
teal wire pullers and schemers are more
the expressed will of the msjorities. Disre-
gard to the wishes of the people is the rule
of the party in power 10 small as well as
great things, and had Miss Mcdaniel been
retained it would have been an exceptional
case. Without doubt Miss Mcdaniel has a
valid claim against the government that
should entitle her to its recognition and
favors, but the influence of those who,
from petty spite (it can be from no other
mOtive) have sought her removal, is para
mount TO all other considerations. ALI else
must go down before this great American
juggernaut. The ends and aims of the OBJ.
scure wire puller must be promoted and en-
couraged in order to preserve the party
alignment, even should it demand the sacri-
fee of widows and orphans. The nearly
unanimous sentiment of this community is
with Miss Mcdaniel, but as has already been
demonstrated, it is powerless to aid her.
The power behind the throne, which is the
local politician in this case, has done the
mischief, which the people are impotent to
repair.

The communication presented elsewhere
from townsman of Col. Bowling seems to
authenticate the statement of the public
press, that the colonel has resigned his place
on the state executive committee OF the DEM
ocrats. Col. Bowling is just the sort of metal
that the country can least spare from poll
tics, and his withdrawal should not be pass
ed over without word of cordial approval
of long career of honest, disinterested and
patriotic service. From hasty glance at
his work in politics, it can be said of him
that his first thought was never for himself
nor his efforts, looking for place. He has
given time and labor to the upholding of
honorable party measures, and has saved by
a sterling good sense, when more snowy men
pointed out the path of political destruction.
He has been the steady. consistent champion
of Whatever was pure and OF good repute in
politics, and leaves the active arena unblem-
ished by faint of i'll doing. Though up
holding and sustaining party for years be
was among the first to recognize the new
spirit Of independence and counsel his asso-
ciates to welcome the revolution by antici-
pating it. His counsels have not always been
needed but when they were the people were
the gamers. Although retired from the func-
ton of executive work, the colonel will be
free to aid the better impulse Of the people
outside of the restraint of Office.

the jaunty Carpenter declared his hands
washed OF the disgrace, even if his
republican friends made up their
minds to carry it through the next
presidential campaign. The speaker
called further attention to the enormities
praoticed, and that the senate. committee
had unanimously with the exception of
Morton, agreed that the Kellogg conspira-
tors should be overturned. 1t was to make
himself certain in the business that Senator
Carpenter visited louisiana last summer,
when lie learned for himself the afro
cious lawlessness of the judicial felon
Durell, by whose simple order the state had
been snatched from the lawful authorities
and put in the hands of robber ring. The
brief abstract of Carpenters speech else
where presented is the most significant ut
terance of the session, and plants the dead
lest blow at the scoundrels who rule and
ruin in the name of party.

that is OF no particular consequence. The
point the Sentinel wishes to impress upon

verse and unmanly shiftings of Senator

careful legislator, should never have con.

Clermont county, Ohio, which has fu r
nished the greater part of the great
men hsiling from the Buckeye State,
including President Grant. has recent
ly been furnishing material of another
sort. Some time ago readers Of the Sentinel
will remember petition sent from this era
die of great men to the Fulton prayer meet
ing in New York, asking supplication for
New Richmond, the post town near General
Grants birth place. to save it from intern
perance. 1t will interest not only the read
to know that these petitions have been gra-
ciously answered. The spirit of evil is be-
ing exercised in stirring way. The drunk
enness which had been heretofore stalking
the streets was shortly beset by emphatic
agencies, inspired by the Fulton prayers,
and chased from the town. The agencies
were principally the women Of Clermont,
who, like the illustrious men of that SCAR
tan spot, can do their whole duty when the
tug of war is put upon them. Clermont
county thus fills another niche of in
terest to the world beside being
the birth place of the president.
To that moral center the oppon 7nts of Prof.
Tyndall may turn in triumph and dare him
to come on with his prayer guage. 1t is i'm
possible to contemplate this interesting sege-
msnt OF the Buckeye soil without longing
for more general recognition and intimate
acquaintance with its people. When, foi

A SIGHT.

LACERATING OLIVER IA TOUCHING TALE.
The Herald's Washington telegram of
Wednesday says: Now Morton, when he is
most unsparingly pitched into for his de-
tense of Pinchback heretofore, reads news
paper and anon walks round the charsber,
treating the raps he gets with an assumed
air of Indifference. Conkling breaks out into
a broad smile as McCreery makes
occasionally bitingly sarcastic de.
scription verging on ridicule and
wit. Boutwell, bends forward with alb
sorbed attention; Schurz and Oglesby join
in smiles, provoked by McCreery, and occa-
sionally Sumner unbends his senatorial
gravity when something more remarkable
is said, and he laughs heartily. Barrett,
who has been guiding Morton in the mat
ter, and is working to help Judge
BILE, is, by some inscrutable means
or some unwarranted privilege of the SER
geant-at arms, allowed to have seat on the
floor of the senate. Pinchback sits in Cra-
gins seat watching every move made and
nervously pulling his short black beard as
McCreery says something touching his i'm
proper conduct; but he does not pay
much attention to the claimant, SEEM
ingly thinking him worthy of only
passing remark. He attacks Durell
with crushing force, however, and
drives his rhetorical dagger into Packard and
characterizes the whole business they trans.
acted as the darkest and foulest which has
been ever committed in the history OF this
country. Mr.. McCreery, proceeding, said
that high republican authority estimated the
fraudulent voting at 5000 In each parish,
and he gave full description
OF all the nefsrious circumstances which
attended the election. He referred to
Durell's decision, and said if there were an
other man in history who had made three
days record like his, his name was lost.
Pinchback, in conversation with your cor
respondents afterward, said that If the object
Is to prove that the government Of
Louisiana is not legally constituted, there
is an end of his being called on to fight
for the senatorship, and this appears to be
the way that the difficulty will be handled,
viz: Durell impeached, the legislature by
consequence illegal, new election ordered
and Mr.. Pinchback, IL he wants to be sem
ator, to fight the battle over again. Thus
the senate Is relieved as we'll as the admins
tration.
