General G~rosvenor, a leading Re
publican member of the Ohio Legis-
%lature, is prepared to assert that the
session lately closed did an immense
amount Of work of interest to the
State which was lost sight of in the
hurry of the closing hours. He is
also free to say that the charges of
corruption" ''steeped in infamy,"
and "all that sort Of thing" made
against the members of the Legisla-
ture, are either grossly exaggerated
oil entirely unfounded. He thinks
the Legislature, as a body, will COM
pare favorably with the preceding
ones, while its work is fully up to
the average. Opinions from such a
source will have weight, and will be
of service in the approaching can
vass. We hope our friend "jim JAMS
of Dayton city, will make a note OF
this gentleman's opinions, as he is a
member of his own party, but holds
no position under Grant.

Tho Boston Courier places a print
ed estimate upon Grants qualifca-
lions for a third term. 1t says: ga
President who takes gifts, who sits
aloft, thwarting the will of the PEG
pie, and dreams of an indefinite ex-
tension of his lease Of power through
the continuance of anarchy in the
southern half of the Union, should
be ineligible even to a second term.
Freedom itself is worthless without
order and honest intelligent National
administration. Grant has never
had a Cabinet capable of administer
ing the affairs of a great government
He has had an unconquerable aver
sion to anybody bigger than a head
clerk The personal of the Govern
ment of the smallest State in Europe
would put ours to blush"

"Patent outside" ''edits the Sher-

are some of the choice phrases of the
Dayton city gentleman, that has ,har
messed himself to the bellows Of the
Eaton Register to blow and strike
in the interest of a third-term for his
Boss, Grant, that he may continue to
"edit' the collections of Revenue,
arising from the manufacture of the
essence of corn juice in the Third
District. Go slow, my young friend.

Sam Bard, of Atlanta, which was
Postmaster, but is not now so much
as he was, started a newspaper, and
in a few days off came his official
head. Poor Sam started off to Wash
ington, raising a headless howl all
the way, and straightway walked up
to the Postmaster General, and shak-
ing his CORY head in that dignitary's
face, demanded to know the cause OF
its sudden taking off. He was told
it was because he stopped over toe
much. When the officials of an ad,
ministration assume the role of edi,
tors, they display entirely too much
"true i~nyardness." Even if they dc
begin to think they are sitting on
the ragged edge as third term vi.

as come from Connecticut, their anx.
iety for a continuance of "pap'' will
find no sympathy with the masses

Democratic Convention.

In view of the Centennial day of
the battle of Bunker Hill, coming on
Thursday, the 9th day of June, we
suggest to the Democracy of the
State, that the Democratic Conven-
ton be called to assemble on that
day, for the double purpose of nomi-
mating a suitable ticket and COM
memorating that event. Let the
Convention assume national proper
tions, at least so far as the south and
northwest are concerned, and invi-
tations be extended by the Demo
cratic State Central Committee to
allthe States to participate on that
patriotic occasion. While it is pro-
posed to commemorate the c~entenni-
al of the 4th Of July at Philadelphia,
in 1856, let the south and great north
west celebrate at Columbus, Ohio,
the Centennial of the battle of Bunk.
Ell Hill, in connection with the De,
mocratic Convention. After the
nomination of Farmer BILL ALLEN
for Governor, he then can appear
before the Centennial meeting and
respond to the call for a Presidential
nomination in 1876, for one term
only. Ohio, in point of her geogra.
phical position and her resources
and population, is entitled to the
Presidency, and as she now has &
suitable nan for the place, in the
person Of her present Governor
against whose name the breath O
suspicion has never been breathet
from any quarter, she presents su
perior claims for the honor. Al
admit Farmer ALIENS integrity anc
qualifications, and in these days O
corruption and misrule, this is sayil
a.great deal for a public servant
What say the brethren of the Demo
cratic press throughout the State, t.
the above suggestions?

Thirty-five million dollars is the
round little sum that the last Con-
gress piled upon the backs of the
people in the shape, Of additional
taxes! Times are hard enough with
out that additional load, but the gov
eminent is as "hard up" as any
body, and must have more money.
The extravaganza and corruption OF
the administration cannot be met
without more money, and as it was
the last chance the RAIDS had to
gather in the needful amount for the
proper prosecution of the presidential
race, the dear people should make
due allowance, and not growl if they
do have to pay thirty-ive million
additional taxes! It's all for the
good of the government Grant.

ant, and the argument will be closed by

and thus has been secured for posterity,
as well as for themselves, the blessed
boon OF summer brilliance and beauty.
