Common sense, and the want of it, is
very cons. icuous in mems every day ac-
tions; III the selection of newspaper or
magazine, or the purchasing of any article
of wearing apparel, or ordinarily merchan-
die for instance, man generally uses a
certain amount of judgement, in other
words,-common sense: but when it comes
to medicinal nostrums, where are we
now" While our readers are bordering
over this conundrum, we take the opport-
unity of recommending for special, and
general family use, the U. S. Castor Oil
Pills, sugar coated, a pleasant. safe, and
very valuable domestic medicine, and as
much superior to the cure alls' with which
they often drench themselves, as common
sense is superior to the want of it.

1T HAS ABND LOOK.

We do not say that S. l.. BoUGuroN,
President Of the deception known as the
BIwlins Green e Tontogany Railroad
would import voters for the purpose OF de-
feating the will OF the people in the loca-
ton Of their county seat, but he has done
something which looks very much like
that kind of business. He was in search,
last week, OF a competent person to take
charge of a gang OF men on his road, said
gang to commence work on Monday last
just in time to give them the requisite time
to convert outsiders into voters. We do
not say that Mr.. BIS purpose was, or is, to
pI!l illegal votes, but we only call nttcn-
ton to the fact that appearances, in this
case, point strongly in that direction.

MIR. KIMRERLIN,S CARn-

In last weeks JOURNAL reference was
made to the fact that citizens Of Bowling
Green were sent out into remote portions
of the county, into such townships as were
known to be favorable to the removal Of
the county seat---that said tax.collectors.
instead Of attending to their business. spent
much time in laboring for the interests Of
Bowing Green, by talking and circulating
documents-and that in consequence Of
this neglect Of duty, Treasurer KIsrpERrIN
was not prepared to settle and turn over
his Office to his successor on the dnv np-
pointed for such transfer, aud that his
term Of office was extended three DAYS
We also stated that money had been taken
from the County Treasury to pay for lob
bying at Columbus in the interests OF
Bowling Green. Ex-Treasure KIMBERLIS
publishes card elsewhere in this paper in
which he says these statements cure false
and wholly without foundation"
Now, we happen to know that every one
OF the above statements is true, and we
stand ready to prove our assertions in each
case above stated. We did not say, nci-
ther did We wish to be understood az inti-
mating that Mr.. KMBERIIx directed his
tax-collrctors to devote any portion of their
time to labors for the county seat; nor did
we say that he was in any respect rcspons-
ible for the payment Of county money to
Bjwling Green lobbyists. We believe he
WAS an honest officer. That he was i'm
posed upon by his nppointees, VIC have not
a doubt, and that the people - the county
were likewise imposed upon BY said en-
plnyes and outraged by this payment Of
Bowling Green canvasscrs in the county
and lobbyi!s at Columbus, is equally evil
dent.

ILsH, of Grand Rapi1s, the author of TINT
"disinterested" communication to the Sen

"if every friend of Bowling Green would
do as we'll as | have there would be no
trouble in getting a majority in favor of
Bowling Green, as have hired four men
out of the county and set them to work un-

A Gross Blunder.

Under this head the Toledo Rcricu =
Catholic Democratic paper, admits the de-
feat OF at least one of the Senatorial can
didatcs of its party in this district in the
following castigation administered to the
Senatorial Convention for its neglect to
protect Toledo's interests:
The gross stupidity of party managers
in permitting both Democratic candidates
for the State Senate from this district to
b. taken from counties other than our own.
is already having its effect in breaking
down the organization and destroying the
party, so far as il relates to the support Of
Senatorial candidates. While the average
Toledo Dcmocrat is loyal to party nomina-
tions, he is also loyal to Tolcdu's interest,
and nothing can prevent an emphatic pro-
test against the shOrt-sightednes4 OF con-
vention which cut Toledo with nineteen
twentieths of the commerce and q third Of
the vote Of the district. We cannot now
say who is responsible for this stupid blur
der which will cost our party, in all proba-
bility, one of the candidates for the State
Senate from this district
TO think OF having the city of Toledo,
for the space OF two years, without a rep
rcsentative IN the State Senate. is enough
to stir up the people and incline them to
rebu<e even the suggestion of such thing.
The people are parcelIed out between the
parties, and each man has his party prin-
cipes and his party likes; but when our
local interests are slighted and party inter
ests preferred, as in the case of the action
OF the Democratic Senatorial Convention,
then it is time for all to see that such ac-
tion on the part OF such Convention de-
serves rebuke at the hands OF the people Of
Toledo who are interested in the growth,
development and improvement of the city.
Our Republican friends saw this neglect on
our part, and they met il bv showing their
care for Toledo's interest in nominating
Mr.. 7. p. Brown for the Senate-a man
whose every thought is for the future great
city, and whose character ~ citizen is
above rcproarh. We must in truth saw
this for Mr.. Brown, even il lie is Repub-
lican.

THE TRANsFER COMPLETE.

Notwithstanding the rain yesterday morn
ing, which lasted until about eleven o'clock,
largenumber Of people we're inattendance
yesterday to witness the transfer of the Per-
rysburg Court House and Jail 70 the
county, and examine those buildings
and determine for themselves the fitness
OF the same for the purposes for which
they are constructed.
Notwithstanding the liberal arrange
ments made for cars between Deshler and
Perrysburg, they were all filled before the
cars had made more than half their jour.
ncy, and it was necessary to make ad
ditional arrangements for the nccommo-
dation Of the people. Two trains OF about
twenty cars each were literally packed
with people, besides those who came in
private conveyance and by the cars and
boat from Toledo. The rain made it nee
cssary TO set the tables in the Court
House and the crowd was so great tint
it was difficult to supply all with food.
II was acknowledged BY all visitors that
the citizens Of Perrysburg made every ef-
fort to contribute to the comfort OF their
guests.
Those who had not before seen the
Court House, were surprised at its hand
some appearance and the size and sub
stantial character of the structure. The
deeds were made out and delivered, and
the Court House and Jail are now in pos
session Of the county. Thus has PerTysburg
fulfilled her pledge; constructing most
imposing building for Court House, in
viting the people to visit and inspect the
same, and then transferring 1t 10 the
county, unencumbcred and uncondition-
ally. All this they have done to insure
the people agail st being swindlcd by tax
alton resulting from unfuliilled pledges
at the time Of the election. Now, there
is no possibility for the taxation of the
people to pay for these buildings. They
are erected paid for, and transferred to
the county in accordance with the En-
ablins Act.
Elsewhere, in a supplement, will be
found a full account of the proceedings
yesterday.

THE IMPORTATION OF VOTERS.

The Bowling Green managers, having
become familiar with corruption BY two
winters OF indulgence in bribery, and
resort to all the appliances which the low
est and most dcbascd lobbyists resort to
for the purpo'c OF controlling legislative
action, do not hesitate to engage in uncon-
cealcd efforts to import voters for the pur-
pose OF controlling the strictly local ques-
tion OF removing the county seat from
Bowling Green to Perrysburg We have
already called attention to several cases,
giving names and dates, nnd in not sim
gle instance has there been deuial, for
the parties implicated knew We spoke the
truth, and had reasons for believing that
We could fully substnntintc our statements.
They have been writing over the State for
men and have gone out and hired them.
The parties 10 employed we'll understand
that it is not 50 much their work that il
wanted, but that the money ostensiblv paid
to them for labor is in reality bribe to
secure their votes. On Saturday last friend
OF Bowling Green employed three men in
Maumec to go out to Bowling Green and
work until after election. We have tie
names OF the parties, but withhold them
for the present. They have been to Fos-
toria after men, and have been sending out
agents and writing letters, for the past
month, in every direction, to secure men
whose votes can be had for price. In
this manner they hope and expect to CON
troll the electiOn-to defeat the will of the
people OF the county-compel all business
men 10 pay tribute to Bowling Green for
many years in the future But will the
people Of the county wink at this corrup-
ton and submit to be imposed upon by the
stuiiing of ballot-boxes with illegal votes? I?
The resor: to this method for controlling
the election is a virtual admission that the
people of the county are in favor of remoy-
al; for ii Bowling Green thought the ma
jOrity of the legal voters of the county
would oppose removal, she would not have
expended thousands of dollars upon cor
ruPt members of the Legislature for tie
purpose of preventing vote, nor would
she now be squandering money in bribing
newspapers and citizens of the county, and
for the importation of illegal voters Her
people are not in the habit of spending
money where it is not considered absolute
ly necessary. We must, therefore, inter.
pret their resort to the importation of vo-
ters as evidence of want of confidence
that the people OF the county prefer Bowl
ing Green for their county seat They
dare not trust the question of removal to a
vote OF the people OF the county but first
sought toprevent such vote, and are now
engaged in open efforts to defeat the people
Of the county by the votes Of men who have
been imported aud hired for the purpose.

than the Court House and Jail
are worth. These are facts
which are shown by the records
Of ths county and may be seen

subject. Those same citizens OF
