"SLIPs." The New York Tribune'S
Washington correspondence says Gen.
Grant protected Schenck in his Emma
mine infamy. Had it not been for his
character as American ambassador,
Schenck would have been arrested in
London and made to answer in the
British courts. Although Grant had
Schenck'S resignation for some time, he
did not formally accept it until Ger. S.
was beyond the jurisdiction ofthe British
courts. To use the words of leading
Republican, in conversation to-day, " 1t
looks too much as though the President
had placed himself between Schenck and
the English prosecution"

SINCE the days of the Regency of
George ". in Great Britain there Las
been no such governmental corruption
unveiled as is now being disclosed in
Washington. All the high officers of the
government have been participants in it.
Offices have been sold outright. The
profits of contracts have been divided be-
tween the contractors and government
officers. Rings have been formed to de-
fraud the revenue, which embraced the
local government officers, and had their
head-centers in the White House. Public
records have been stolen. There has
been an attempt to burn the rooms in the
Department Buildings in which they
were placed. There have been white.
washing committees of Investigation. No
element of rascality has been omitted
The whole power of the Republican or
ganization has been and is now exerted
to protect the thieves for fear that an ex-
posure of their crimes would injure the
party to which the thieves belong.-Eg.

ICES it as:

THE STARK COUNTY JAIL.

II begins to be very evident that the
ail recently erected at a cost to the peo-
ole ofStark county ofsomesixty thousand
dollars, is not so much a Jail as was sup
posed
This viii be apparent to anyone who
will lock through and see how beauti-
fully It was arranged to give prisoners a
good chance to get out.
The account published last week by our
neighbors of the REPOSITORY of the late
escape of prisoners, is very incorrect
Whether it was done to screen certain
late Republican officials, or impllcate
Sheriff Rauch, or both. we know not.
To the sagacious, capacious, and, in
fact, rapacious mind of our neighbors-
"the success of this escape suggests the
want of strict and rigid watchfulness on
the part of the officers" They also say
"there was negligence and a want of eau
ton in allowing lot of boisterous and
designing prisoners to run loose in the
halls, &C."
Were this so it were grievous fault
but the truth is as we gave last week.
The prisoners only for short time on
Sunday are allowed in the main hall,
which runs as a continuation of the court
house hall. In this main hall, part of
the prison, the bath tub is located with
hot and cold water. And in order to
allow the prisoners to wash ani be
Clean" they are allowed access to the hall
on Sunday,
In this hall are two openings to the
cellar beneath for ventilation, and over
the openings are iron rods, each end in
an iron frame with hold of about one
eighth of an inch. To make as it were,
everything quite convenient, the iron
doors swing upon shoulder hinges and
can be easily lifted off and used as a
lever or pry. For those convenient open
ings and doors, Sheriff Rauch is not re-
sponsibe.
Having bent the iron rods so as to come
out of the sockets, the prisoners easily
dropped down six or seven feet to the
cellar floor, nothing whatever interven-
ing.
A little honest examination and con-
sideration will convince anyone that
Sheriff Rauch is not to blame. If otii-
cials are responsible it belongs elsewhere.
1t is proper to say that persons escape
from penitentiares where the buildings
are surrounded with stone walls on top
OF which armed guards are stationed.
Prisoners have escaped from Newgate,
from the Tombs, from Sing Sing, from
the Onio peni;entiary. In fact, what
prison has proved a complete success?
1t must be remembered that prisoners
have their skilled and active friends out
side, plotting to help them out, ready to
furnish tools that they may help them
selves out. Among twenty-five or thirty
prisoners, are always some experts famil-
lar with all the tricks of the trade. The
iron in the doors of our Jail is so soft that
an old case knife made into a saw walks
easily through it, cutting it almost like
piece of cheese. Will the Repository claim
that this is the fault of Sheriff Rauch?

You have often seen men engaged in
dispute, who had no argument to bear them
out. We meet such men every day. They
are to be encountered in all walks of life.
But in leading topics, they are always the
most conspicuous, though not the most
prominent and important actors. In the
desperate situation Of a lack Of reason in
argument, their scruples upon lieing are
as flexible as rubber, and their aptness at
it is only equalled by the reputation that
Tom Pepper bore for this unenviable fail
ing. We are reminded Of this by the ac-
tions of Zachariah Chandler and others who
are running the Republican party in this
campaign. They have never from the first
used argument, but have invented the most
infamous lies aud blasphemy against the
candidates of the Democratic party. The
last address issued by the chairman of the
National Republican Committee, Zach
Chandler, is the last growl Of fight the par
ty shows before the election, it is the last
parry before the final blows are struck. 1t
froths with the rage Of disappointment in
every sentence. 1t is the dying serpent
splitting its vennom on all objects around
it. The South, the Democratic party and
the candidates all are denounced in the
impotent rage Of Republicanisms last ex.
piring truth. We are truly sorry for Zach
Chandler and the Republican party, that
this fend Of Rebellion, the Democratic
party, is coming into power again, but we
cannot help it, it seems to be the wish OF
the majority Of forty-millions of people, land
according to the constitution they are the
ones who have the say about it. They seem
to have ordered that the bayonet shall be
un6xed and put in its scabbard, and that
the sword shall be sheathed, and there is
no doubt about that being the order OF
command when the next Presidential in
auouration takes rlace.
