tod for his impeachmentare members
of his own party, we must conclude
that the evidence before them proved
TO their satisfaction, that he had been
guilty of those high crimes and
misdemeanorS, which warrant the
infliclion of the severe penalty of be-
inc deprived of his Office, and of the
right to ever holl an office of trust or
profit in the State hereafter.
We deeply rrgret that the uecessl-
tv for this severe punishment should
exist, but assent to its justice entlre~
~
Mr.. Burjlett has really had two
trials first, before q committee OF
the House. when it was declared by
a large,uuiority that the Impeachment
should DE presented to the Senate
there before the Senate rs a High
Court OF Impeachment, under the
Pr : d.ucy of the Chief Justice of
Appeals, where he was defendedby
able and eloquent counsel of his o~n
selection. lie has presented his own
witnesses who have been accorded a
\ fair hearing and fall ere lenee. The
points Of law in the ease have been
fully argued, aud the conclusion OF
the whole matter is, that ~ OF the
% Senators comprising the Court OF
\ Impeachment have declared Mr..
Burdett guilty.
There must have been the fullest
conclusion ofhis guilt, before this
vote cold have been reached in the
| Senate, as we are well aware that a
large majority OF the Senators, were
personally favOrably inclined to Mr..
. Burdett, and would have been sim
crrely,,slad to have pronounced him IN
uocent, if the evidence had permit
. them To do 80.
1t isa matter Of congratulations,
that this prosecution against a Demo
cratic Treasurer, has been begun by
. Democrats, and c1rried through 10y a
Legislature largely Democratic in
both branches. 1t is renewed evil
dence that the Democratic party is
as ready to punish fraud or crime in
its own ranks, Us in those of its enc
mics.
1t presents Il striking contrast to
the action of the Republican u. ;.
Senate, which, BY strict party vote,
has Just refused TO permit inveStiga-
ton into errors and detalcaIions that
rerc,,hown to exist in thcC. 5. Treas
ury.

said he, ether. are over three hun
bred men in Ironton who cannet get
work to do. This is one of the men
who Joined the workingmen's organi-
zation, and his is one of the better ca
ses, for he has only family of three
to provide for.
I'VE stopped at a house in East
Iromton. 1t was necessary that we
should see the man of the house. as
he was one of the speakers at the
meetings alluded to. We will
never forget the picture the room
presented. The room had no car
pet thereon. There was no fire In
the crate to keep the damp from SOW
ing the seeds of sickness in the house
hold. BY the light of 4 chimneyless
lamp we noted the surroundings.
The mother lay in the narrow bed
hugging her infant closely to her to
give it that warmth the scanty Gov
ering denied it. On the floor lay
three children huddled closely to-
cether on their little straw mattress ;
c,nsumptive cough Of child in
the next room separated only by a
plank partition, told plainly and sad
| " that this mans dwelling was no
worse than his next door neighbor's.
The neighbor heard Us in the room,
and came in to repeat the story we
had leaned of the suffering in their
ward Of the inability to get work
of the high price of provisions of the
rent past due of the sickness, suffer
! ING and restitution for which there is
pressing need Of immediate relief.
We learned of one case where a twO
dollar bill was given one of the men
from Hecla furnace, and he invested
it i'm bread, and he and his hungry
companions soon devoured it in the
streets. Other instances where men
have gone without a meal tor tive
DAYS, dividing the limited food among
their wives and children. Lust win
ter there was general suffering
throughout Lawrence county, but II
was good times then compared with
now.

ADKINS Mill, Wayne County,
January ID, 1876.
Editor Courier:
A bill was offered to the last Leg
islature to appropriate money to de-
fend the States interest in the great
land case involving title TO a large
tract of land in this and neighbor'

IN response to this inquiry we give
such facts in relation to the matter
rs are in our possession. William
\. Aspinwall and others, have
brought ejectment suits in the United
States Court, to recover possession OF
a large survey or tract of land, lying
in Wayne and neighboring counties,
and aggregating several hundred
thousand acres. Within this bOun-
diary are about fifteen thousand acres,
claimed by the State, as school lands.
In order that the suits might be
looked after, and to divide the bur
den OF defence among all the inter
e>tS, Hon. James Ferguson introduce
ed bill in the last Legislature to
appropriate 81 900 toward defraying
the expenses of defending the suit
Through mistaken economy that
bill was defeated. The policy OF
allowing this important interest OF
the State to remain unprotected hay

solution:
