The number of paupers admitted to
the county infirmaries in Ohio in 1875,
was ), ,7S9, and the cost of keeping them
amounted TO $547, ,197.
The Ohio State building on theCen-
tennial grounds has been presented by
the Ohio State Board to the city of
Philadelphis.
THERE were 1922 persons naturaliz-
ed in Ohio, in the year ending March
81, 1875, being an increase of 1437 COIN
pared with the previous year. Won't
that be sad reflection for the MEM
z bers of the American Alliance?
WHILE in the act of setting fire to
buildings in New Orleans on Friday
last one negro was shot and another
shot at. Now look out for a howl
from the loyal Radical journals about
.'bull-dozing."
THE capital employed in the cigar
busines in this country is estimated at
over $l5, O0O, 600, and several makers
empty from 500 TO 500 hands. Over
2OOO,OOO,OOO cigars are annually con-
sumed in the United States, or an
average of5OO to every inhabitant.
, MANY of the leading Republican
Journals throughout the country are
denouncing in the most emphatic and
decided terms the military interfer.
ance Of Grant i'm the affairs of the free
and Independent State Of South Caro-
lima. ef
The Legislatures Of a number OF
these United provinces meet about
these days, and several of them have
Democratic majorities. Has Grant
got his bayonets ready to send to the
places of their meeting to see that they
are organized and conducted in ac-
cordance with the supreme will OF his
inebriated Highness?
IL Electors are State officers, and
Returning Boards are Stale institu-
lions, what business has Federal
Judge to interfere ?-f Eng.
Yes; and if these Electors are Fed

Federal authorities?
THE Cleveland Plain Dealer of the
9Th nit, contained 50 advertisements
of Sheriff-s and Master Commission
er's sales, which would seem to indi-
cate that the tidal wave of returning
prosperity which the Radicals have
been talking about has not yet reach
Ell the Forest City. Let us resume.
THE military usurpation in South
Carolina; the attempted steal of the
county of Baker in Florida the s'fum-
bling" of the returns in Louisiana,and
the vicious lies of Eliza Pinkston, have
settled the character of the agency
which can alone declare Mr.. Hayes
President. The people will not be
fooled.
To give the vote of Louisiana to the
Radicals the Returning Board was
compelled to throw out the votes of
81 counties, or parishes, in which the
Democrats had majorities. This is
the in which the Radicals carry elec-
tions, and that is their idea of Repub-

CARL SCHURZ and few o.her de-
voted patriots have on foot scheme
for reforming the Constitution of the
United States, by comforting the pow
er to count the electoral votes upon
the U. S. Supreme Court, and they are
anxious to rush the scheme through
before the 18th of February next.
IT is novel sight to witness the
Legislature of free and independent
State run by Federal bayonets. One
of the most serious charges made by
the Revolutionary fathers against
King George was that he had "effected
