On the 22d ult., the Commissioners
of Ashtabula, TrumbuIl, Mahoning
and Portage counties met in the city
of Warren. to consider the subject OF
organizing a Children's Home District
to be composed OF the above named
counties. All of the counties were
fully represented except Mahoning,
only enc of whose Commissioners
| was present. There was considerable
discussion of the necessity of the
formation Of the District and estab-
fishing a Home, but no definite action
| was taken.
Reports were made of the taxable
property OF the various counties in
the proposed District, as follows ::
Portage, S14 100000; Trumbull, S2O,-
100000; Ashtabula, $I6,00U,0O0; Ma
honing, S22,O0o,O0o; aggregate, S72,-
OO0,00O. From this it was argued that
| tax of three-iourth5 OF mill on the
dollar S54,000-would erect u suila-
| BILE Home.
The following resolutions were
| adopted:
| WHEREAS, On the 30th day 0 f March
1874, the Legislature of the State OF
! Ohio, passed an act for the establish
ment of and support and regulation
of, Children's Home in the several
countias of the State; and,
! WHEREAS, In accordance with said
act, we, the Commissioners of a Ashta-
bula, Portage, Mahoning and Trum-
/ bull counties, nave this day met III
joint session in the city of Warren,
! for the purpose of considering the
propriety OF establishing such Home
Belt Res0lred, That, in our opinion
such Home, if properly established
and conducted, would prove great
| public good that many children who
are now only growing to life of in
doleHce and crime, would thereby be
saved to a lite of usefulness.
! I'd. That, in order to more fully as
certain the feelings of the citizens OF
our respective districts, with regard
to the establishment of such q Home,
! we appoint five persons in each
county 10 act as an advisory board,
and request their cooperation with
us.
81. That, when this meeting adjourn
it be to meet at the Auditors Office in
Warren, on the 10th day OF February,

THE people of the United States
may never kow the full measure of
ipiquity which was involved in the
long pursued plot of leaders Of the Re-
publican party against the peace, hap
piness and rights of the Southern
States, but each move in Grants nav
programme of ''unloading" lets in
some light on that dark plot. Even
Durrell, the infamous, who was the
quick agents of the plotters in his eX-
ecution of the enforcement law in
Louisiana, now that he is kicked over
board, speaks out in denunciation of
the bad law, declaring it was passed
to perpctuate the Republican rule ;
that his worst crime was the impartial
administration of that bad law as he
found it on the statute book and that
when the law was exposed and de-
nounced the Republican leaders de-
serted him and sought to hide their
crime behind his infamy, So fares it
ever with the minions of tyrants, The
evil work spoils the tool and then it is
thrown away.-.St. Paul Dispatch.
