For Board OF PabIIc WOrks.

At the State Convention last year, the
delegation from this county pressed up
on the attention of the convention the
name of Daniel L. June, of this city, as
a candidate for Board of Public Works,
and 50 favorably was his name received,
that most Aattering vote was given
him. To those who know the man, his
indomitable will and unyielding perse-
verence in anything he undertakes, it is
scarcely necessary to say that his nomin-
alton would have secured worker
whom the opposition would have found
it almost impossible to defeat, even with
the tide against us as it was last fall.
His name this year would add strength
to the ticket, and we suggest il for con
sideratlon. lie is located in a neigh
borhood through which a portion Of the
public work extends, on which there has
been mach mismanagement, and he is
just the kind of man who would ferret
out the wrong doers, and see t.lat the
public works receive the benefit of the
derived therefrom. No better
or stronger man could be named for the
position.

The catholic Question.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. .o n
Politically, the coming ten years are
likely to prove exciting. The Demo
cratic party has exhibited renewed
strength during the past year, and has
attached to itself the ex-rebels of the
South, and formed a close alliance with
the church of Rome, That organiza-
tion, or rather its religio-political lead
ers, are planning bold campaign in
England and this country to make up
for losses in continental Europe. The
possession Of special privileges in pris-
ons and refolmatories, the divisions of
the school fluid, the State appropria-
tions for thoroughly sectarian institu-
tions, are the objects which will be
sought. BY skillfully alternating Ger
man radicals from ordinary American
Protestants, they have been enabled to
conquer both in many localities. The
issues now existing are likely TO enter
more and more into politics both here
and in England. In the latter country
Cardinal Manning has openly aVowed
his Joy that his promotion has taken
place at time when his church is about
TO enter into a struggle more fearful
than any which has preceded it. Even
now war cloud, with which ecclesias-
tical questions will have more Ur less
connection, seems to be rising over
Europe, and stirring events may be ex-
pected. In our own land, happily sep
arated by an ocean from the theater Of
impending conflict, all momentous
issues can be peaceably settled at the
ballot box. That they will be thus ad-
justed is possible, if the lovers of Amer
ican freedom shall be vigilant and
united. The situation is not without its
perils, but the reasons for. .hopefulness
are as numerous as the grounds for ap-
prehension.

The GIenYIIIe Murderer.

Governor Allen has commuted the
sentence of Johnson-the Swedt
convicted of murder in the court of this
county, and sentenced TO be hung this
week-frorn death to imprisonment fol
life. Upon what precise grounds the
Governor has done this, other than the
fact that Sheriff Winslow had strong
personal disinclination to fulfilling the
duty of executioner, we are not informed.
From the evidence, we have all along
supposed the crime of which johnson
was convicted, to have been a perfectly
clear case Of brutal murder for the pur-
pose of robbery, clumsily planned and
executed, but nevertheless premeditated
and successful to the extent of destroy
ing the life of the victim and transfer
ring his watch and money to the possess
ion of his murderer. The wife of the
prisoner stated here at the time of the
trial that her husband had been suspect
ed Of having committed another murder
some time ago in the State Of Michigan
Since his conviction and sentence John
son has been, as we understand, peni-
tent, tractable and serious, as becomes a
person in his terrible situation. So far
as this can entitle him to a Communication
of the sentence which the law affixes to
his crime, the prisoner merits the elem
ency which has been extended to him.
If there are any other reasons why the
of the court should be setaside,
the public, which is interested in the
fair and impartial ministration Of JUS
tice, has right to know, what those rea
sons are. AS question of justice we
fail to see why johnson, who enticed his
room mate into lonely field and Drained
him with billet of wood in order to gel
money wherewith to open drinking
saloon, should be sent to prison, while
Cooper, who killed an old timer for
thirteen dollars, which he gave to his
wife, should have gone to the gallows
without friend to plead his cause be.
fore the executive. If the kind of muir
der that Johnson committed does not de.
mand the expiation of death, why should
there be any such thing as capital pun
ishment under the law2--[L Leader.

Hnron and ShnMnee RaIlroad.

The above is the title of road design
ed to run from the town of Huron (which
furnishes an unequalled harbor upon the
Lake to Prout's Station, or point near
that, on the line of the Lake Erie divi-
sion of the B. & o. r. r. There used
to be a road running from the latter
point to Huron, which was controlled by
the old s. M. & N. road, which, about
ten years ago decided it did not pay and
tore up the rails. subsequently, the S.
NJ. Il N. road was leased to the B. & o.
road, but it is claimed under conditions
which debarred the latter road from ever
opening up or operating this branch.
StiIl subsequently the Newark, Somer-
set and Straitsyille road, "a Newark pro-
jet which had been some years in build
ing, was opened up into the heart of the
coal field; and the coal trade resulting
from this opening has grown to such an
extent that the facilities of Sandusky
HsIbor are not sufficient to accommodate
the present and prospective business.
Hence, parties largely Interested in the
coal fields, are seeking to obtain access
to Huron Harbor, and propose opening
and operating road as soon as they OBJ
tain given amount of local aid. This
aid, We are convinced, will be prompt
ly forthcoming. The interests which
will build this road do not stand alone.
they are identified with other interests,
which may make an extension of this
road from Prout's Station to Fremont a
necessity. If the Columbus and Toledo
extension of the Hooking Valley road
shall be built, it will cross the i. e. &
L. Ry., at or near Fostoria, and by means
of this line the Hooking Valley 70 d
could deposit coal at Huron and moi
traverse much more distance than to &c
to Toledo. Fremont would thus bt
brought in connection with the Hook
ing Valley er Nelsonville coal fields. anC
be able to have deposited at its doors the
best grade of Ohio coal at rates as low az
its neighbors Its manufacturing inter
ests would thus be fostered and promot

feasible project, and one whice may nit
