Another "OrrAnv Manted At D. Q.


We understand that some of the ire
pressible and blowhard Democracy Of Bow
ling Green arc making an effort to estab-
lish a Democratic paper at that place. We
would suggest to them to purchase the Sen
tinel as in that case the change to Dem
ocratic sheet would be so slight and the
transition 80 easy that the people Of Wood
county would hardly be aware Of It, The
truth Of the matter Is, that paper never
was much on politics. II was first started
on q single idea--that Of removing the
county.seat from Perrysburg to that place,
and ever since that time, amid all its many
changes Of proprietors, 1t has clung desper-
ately to that one idea, regardless of every
other consideration, political or otherwise
1.-The brief period during which it was
under the proprietorship of Mr.. G. w.
EvERs alone excepted. Aside from this
exception, its journalistic eye could sec
nothing but Bowling Green. Bowling
Green has been its Mecca, and all who do
not howl and keep bowling for Bowling
Green must look out for contumely and
abuse. In its eyes, that mud-bound knoll
is the shrine at which all Wood county
must pay obeisance, and il any portion be-
comes derelict in such homage, it is un-
worthy longer to have part or parcel in
the administration of county affairs. Ev-
cry other consideration---social, political
religious---pales into insignifcance before
the greatness of that sandy-streeted village
The interests of the Republican party
are of no moment whatever with the Senti-
mel only so far as il will prove subservient
to the behests OF Bowling Green and being
money to the pockets OF the Sentinel pro
prietors. Those who at one time innocent
ly regarded it as Republican paper, have
long since dismissed that notion. The un
dcrhanded attempt OF its proprietor, in tho
fall Of 1872, to defeat the election of the
present Sheriff is not yet forgotten, anc
the marked silence of that paper during
the campaign Of last fall is still fresh in thu
minds of the people. The more recen
declaration by one OF its present proprie
tors, that no Perrysburg man shall have
Office, is additional evidence of the injus
tice of its claims as a Republican paper.
II further evidence is wanting, the peo
pie have it in the fact that in spite of tn,
boasted circulation of the Sentinel its iuflu
ence as a Republican paper in Plain town
ship and in Bowling Green Corporation
which are both largely Republican, Demo
cratic officials are elected year after year
and with the Sentinel everything is love
ly" and all goes "inerry as a marriage bell
Such Republicanism as this would soor
sink the party, and it requires just sucl
Republicanism as the Sentinel is troubles
with, to have cheek enough to claim offic
ial advertising, because forsooth it is tn,
self-constituted official organ of the county

Not Afrnid Of the People Z

In recent issue of the JOURNAL we re-
ferred to the efforts of our neighbors at
Bowling Green in trying to retain the coun-
ty-seat against the wishes of the people of
the county, to which the Sentinel chimes
in, as usual with its pitiful story, thus:
"Of course we know how the people will
vote. The rem0ustrance had more signatures
than the petition t0 the Legislature, and did
not buy anv, go T. Maumee Tor anv, or have any
transient Railroad or Hydraulic hands to fail
back on, either. Neither did we go to men
whom we had previously learned intended to
sign the petiton and by representing ourselves
as Perrysburg men, induce them no sign the re-
mo insurance without giving them chance 10
read it, as we know that Perrysburg men did
with the petition"
Now, if you know so we'll how the peo-
pie will vote, then why all this sweating
and stewing to prevent it? Yes, certainly
you know, and it is easy to see that this
knowledge you possess, is the cause of your
fright.
"You didn't buy any signatures We
are not sure that you didn't; we simply
have your word for that, which we can rely
upon in this matter the same as we have
heretofore in other things, for instance, the
official vote on Removal in 1866, published
in your paper a short time since.
What pity you have no transient rail-
road or hydraulic hands to fall back on p
We freely sympathize with in your sad
dilemma, but don't get uneasy when we sug-
gest there is no danger, whatever, that you
will have anything in the shape OF rail-
road or hydraulic to trouble you for years
to come.
1t is refreshing also to know that you
have pursued such an upright course in
obtaining signatures to the remonstrance.
This thought alone, might be consolation
to you in your troubles, if that arm of the
B. P. & c. r. r. which you represented as
sure of being built to Toledo via Bowling
Green, did not loom up in Imagination TO
disturb your quietude and destroy your
peace of mind. That other small affair you
mentioned to the people for the sake OF get
ting signatures we mean that little story
about the taxpayers of the county having
to pay $4,000 for the New Court House, in
the event of Removal amounts to nothing.
An honest-minded person would hardly
think OF calling THAT a Misrepresentation,
as the term would be rather mild. 1t would
sound better to call it by some other name,
instance, falsehood, or if that is too often
sive, we may call it lying and let it pass.
How strangei it is that intelligent men
can be induced to sign papers without hav-
ing a chance to read them. How likely
they would do so and ereby deceive them
selves, yet the brainless creature who wrote
such stuffwOuld fain make some of the vo-
ters of the county believe they had not
sufficient intelligence to enable them to
know what they were signing.
Your argument is truly amazing and
would produce brilliant fleet in your ia
vor, if you could only make the people be-
lisve it.

FROM NEW BALTIMORE.


Ed. JoURsAL ;--Snce the opening Of the b. |
=. O. r. r. several new towns have been ]
laid out along the line, at various points.
Pre-eminent among them Is New Baltimore.
Your correspondent mad, brief sciuurn here
on Wednesday, gathered few items for the
JOURNAL. which may not be without interest to
your readers.
Our own observation leads us 10 the oouclu-
sion, that II IL destined to bscome one Of the
leading towns on this line Of railroad, its situa-
'ion being at some distance from any of the
larger towns which have heretofore monopo-
lized the trade from this section Of the country.
As an evidence Of it's rapid growth, we will
state that one year ago, there was only one
building here Of any Importance, viI,a dry
goods store. To-day there are at least twenty
f9e.
Twenty acres were surveyed and laid out In
building lots at the commencement; all have
been sold with the exception Of two or three
and next week new addition Of lots is to be
made by Dirk Franks.
Among the different firms already engaged in
business we notice first those in the mercan-
tile line. =. W. Poe 4 Co. are furnishing
with splsnded prospect Of increasing their
trade.
The other dry goods establishment is carried
on by B. l.. Peters, Esq. who is also Ticket aud
Express Agent.
There are two groceries son and Eyal-
sizer, propreiors.

The sentinel's Financial wiseacre.

We congratulate the Sentinel on the ac-
question of a new man on its extensive
editorial staff-one whose brilliant talents
rs hnancier, must command the admira-
Sion OF all. In the last weeks Sentinel, he
discloses little OF the superabundant wis
dom with which his brilliant mind is sur
charged. He gives panacea for all our
financial troubles. Why does he fritter
away his vast stores of wisdom, and the
pienitude of his intellectual powers here in
the Black Swamp region? He is wanted
elsewhere. He is wanted at Washington.
He is wanted at the great money centsrs
and commercial marts of the world. He
Is the man that the present age is looking
for, and he should not hide the brilliant
lustre of his financial genius under a
bashel.
Oar financial troubles, Ire says, grow out
OF lack OF money, and lack of money is
brought about by locking it up in our pub
lie treasures. Now the remedy for this
evil is very simple, says this brilliant fnan-
cier. Keep this money in circulation
keep it out of the county treasures. He
takes Wood county for his example. His
plan for keeping the money in circulation
ia osimple. Hear him.
1.-THE taxes now collected from all the town
ships at the same time. can be so adjusted as to
be made payable BY each township at q differ
ent time in the year, so that money of one town
ship can be made to meet the PAY ment due from
another"
How is that for brilliancy and astute-
ness? Bow your heads in shame, We Solons
OF finance, for 10 greater one has arisen
greater than ye all. There are now two
settlements in the course of year of our
county finances, but by this nice little plan
OF this luminous wiseacre, with our eigh-
teen townships, there would be only thirty
six settlements during year, averaging a
settlement every ten days, and giving to
each township about sixteen days divided
into two periods of eight days each, where
in to pay its taxes.
How is it possible that this nice little
remedy was not discovered by some one
sooner? 1t is so simple so perfectly com
prehensible. And then see what inestima-
BILE blessings will flow from this brilliant
little scheme -"the money from one town
ship, can be made to meet the payment
due from another" That is-oae dollar
could be made TO pay eighteen dOllars wOrth
eftGrcs! That certainly is consumma-
non devoutly to be wished. And if one
dollar will be of so much service in the
way Of taxes, of course it will be just as
valuable in the liquidation OF other debts.
Why the whole thing is as clear as mud,
and the brilliant brain from which this
shrewd scheme of paying debts emanated
is certainly entitled to the admiration Of
the financial world, and its owner to the
possession of that Zone hundred millions of
legal tender" which would inure to the
people upon the adoption OF this "new way
30 pay old debts" But as Republics are
Proverbially ungratofnl, we fear this versa
tile financial genius will go unrewarded.

There is an item OF news in last week =
Sentinel, which we hasten to lay before our
readers, and that is tat "the different
township treasurers in the county are busy
making iheir..settlements." As this 10 proba-
bly, matter as Hewsy in its character with
the township treasurers, and the Auditor
as 1t is with us, would the Sentinel be kind
enough to state where the aforesaid treasur-
ers are making their settlements ?" We
want to know, you know.

A project is being discussed and advo-
Gated, of en- lsrging the Wabash and Erie
Canal from Toledo to Terre Haute Ind,
then extending it across the State of H.
nois about 200 miles, to st. Louis. The
object is to make ship canal from st.
Louis to Toledo, to secure cheap tran :
portation from the West to the East.
The Toledo Board Of Trade have drawn
up resolutions setting forth the advan-
tages of such project, and will cali the
attention of Congress to the matter.

"0ur Perrysburg neiRhbors are making a
strenuous effort TO impress upon the minds uf
the public that the people OF Wood county are
asking for vote on the county seat question
and Bo'otiig Green alone Is trying 10 prevent such
an expression"
So says the Sentinel of last week. Un-
guardedly it has for once spoken the truth
by acknowledging the fact that Bowling
Green "is trying to prevent" an expression
of the will Of the people. 1t is certainly re-
freshing to see so frank an acknowledg-
ment in the columns of that sheet. 1t has
stumbled upon the truth for once and we
can not omit giving it credit for that which
was SO unexpected from such source.

The Sentinel has dropped the discussion
OF the many falaehoods we have proved to
be embodied in the Remonstrance, like a
hot potato. Well, perhaps, that is the best
thing under the circumstances il could
have done. However, we had no idea
that II could wiggls out Of 80 very small
a hole as the one through which IL took
its exit. But will it tell us why it did not
give its readers the benefit of that other GER
tihcatc it received from the Clerk, concern
ing the vote Of 1865?

are now in order at Bowling Green to carry
on the fight in the attempt to "prevent an
expression of the people" as to where the
seat of justice shall be located. They are
