A Charge Refated.

We find in the last number Of The
Sutro Independent an article reflect
ing upon the official conduct of
Sheriff Cooke, which is wholly un-
justified by any adequate array of
facts or circumstances. The editor
of The Independent has discovered
Sullivan, who was recently cow. cted
before Judge Gould for petit larceny,
loose upon the streets of Dayton, and
attempted to point out the high dere-
LECTION of duty precedent thereto. He
should know that it is common
about county and city jails to have
certain petty criminals to do odd
jobs about the premises, thus saving
the cost of hired help for the same
purpose. Some times these TRUSTEES
in the course of their duties are per-
mitted the liberty Of the town. The
Independent quotes the statutes on
on this point to show the illegality
of the Sheriff's conduct. In doing
so it only reveals its own unacquaint-
ance with the laws Of the State. For
its enlightenment we will produce
an act passed at the last session of
the Legislature granting sheriffs the
right to work prisoners. The act
reads:
Every person convicted Of petit
larceny and confined in the county
Jail may be required, by q special or
general order of the board Of COM
missioners of the county in which
said prisoner was convicted, to per-
form labor on the public works or
ways 10 the county.
The facts are that Sullivan was
employed to water and take care of
the court house grounds perfectly
proper and legitimate employment
for petty criminal. The general
sore medicines of The Independent
and its advisers is we'll understood.
1t must. however, find something
more plausible hereafter to complain
of than the Sheriff's action in this
matter or it will make itself ridicu-
lous.

A Death Leap.

Probably by the time this is read
Mrs. Olivia Miller will be dead. On
Sunday morning, about four O'Clock,
she jumped out of the front window
of the District Attorneys office in
the second story of the court house,
and alighted with fearful thud on
the hard ground below, and received
injuries which lead to death. She
received a compound fracture of the
left thigh, and was also hurt inter-
nally. Mrs. Miller Is large, heavy
woman, of nearly 200 pounds in
weight, and our readers can easily
judge what would be the natural re-
suit of 2O-foot jump. As soon as
discovered she was conveyed to the
hospital, where DR.. Hogan has been
unremitting in hiseff orts to save her
life but last evening he informed us
that she was liable to die inside of
two hours, and certainly could not
live twenty: -four hours longer. Our
readers have been informed of Mrs.
Miller's movements since the MUIR
der of her husband on the 10Th of
July last by Geo. belong; of her
arrest as an accessory and accom-
plice, of her confinement in the Dis
trict Attorneys room, where all lady
prisoners are kept; of her escape and
success IN eluding the officers; Of
her subsequent recapture and con.
finement in her old quarters. And
now in an attempt to escape a Sec
ond time she will again elude the Of
ticers here below only to go to that
Judge from which there is no appeal.
LArER--Mrs. Miller died last night
between nine and ten o'clock. She
was unconscious to the last. and
therefore did not divulge anything
further concerning her husbands
death. Thus tragically ends her
eventful career Reno Journal.

The NEW TEXT Books. the
list of the next month the change in
the readers OF the public schools au-
thorized by the State Board of Educa-
ton recently will take place. The
Board have made an agreement with
the publishers whereby the new
books are furnished at low figure
or exchanged for old ones. A fifth
reader, according to this agreement,
costs $3.50, retail price, and 81 when
an old reader now in use is exchanged
for it. The whole service are graded
accordingly Ninety days are
granted in which to make the change.
7. s. Davenport Of Silver and ]. A.
Bonham Of Dayton have been ap-
pointed agents to receive and deliver
the books according to the agree
ment made between the Board aud
the publishers. The publishers allow
SO small commissions to retailers
that some of them have refused to
have anything to do with the books
except on their own account, or in
dependent of the agreement. Mr..
Davenport, we believe, is ready to
sell them at small profit; hut not
according t. the terms fixed by the
Board and the publishers. Those
terms, though liberal, seem to be
hard to fulfil. The publishers offer
81 small per centage OF profit that
dealers do not care t. have anything
e. do with the books on their intro
duction, aud the law Of the Beard is
that they must be Introduced into
the pubic schools within ninety
days after the LIST of Sept. In case
local dealers do not take them on the
terms prescribed. students must buy
them wherever and 1T whatever price
they can.

New York aad Paris.

The bill allowing Paris to raise loan Of
twenty four millions of dollars to improve
the city has passed the Senate. This seems
to be a large sum. especially to saddle upon
city that has been burdened like Paris.
Then one would think that the French
capital was already SO beautiful that further
expenditure would be gliding refined gold.
But the French are wise ! The alert men
who govern that wonderful land know that
ment of their capital will come back twenty
fold. Trade will revive, capital will come,
the city will continue its supremacy and
every day new advantages will accrue.
New York has come to standstill. While
Paris Notwithstanding her bombardments,
this vast sum, New York does nothing. A
few thieves like Tweed gained power and
stole some money. Because of that we have
resolved to spend no more. We are like the
merchant who allows his business to go to
the bad because a clerk ran away with the
cash box. Our city is in many ways disgrace
to civilization The streets are shameful.
Sanitary precautions are neglected. We
offer premium to malaria. Contagious
diseases are on the increase. We have given
typhus and diphtheria the freedom of the
city. Docks and wharves are postponed.
With the exception of few bouleyards,
which we owe to Tweed, we have nothing to
show in the way OF city improvement.
1t was wellenough to stop the leaks, but
why should the policy Of robbery give place
to the policy of garroting? Tweed robbed us,
but Twecd's successors are sitting us
Every interest suffers because Of this policy.
The time has come Tor it to end. Let COM
mon sense prevail here as in Paris. Let rs
elect men to Office who will spend the money

A policy like this may seem fantastic and

ter chance of doing it than any other second
name that could have been put on the
ticket. If Indiana goes democratic in Octo-
is pretty sure to come from Ohio but if the
party loses both of those States it will have
scarcely q chance of carrying New York, and
the contest will be virtually decided before
any State votes for Presidential electors We
see no reason why Mr.. Hendricks should
hesitate to accept the nomination, for If he
is beaten he can attribute his defeat to the
unpopularity Of Tilden in Indiana, while, if
he succeeds, he will have the credit of saving
the State, and the dignity and salary Of o
very high station.
Except in Ohio and Indiana Governor
Tilden is probably the strongest candidate
everywhere outside of New York which the
Convention could have nominated. Whether
any other candidate would make a better
run in this State is point on which opin-
ions have differed and will continue to differ.
Almost any other democrat would have cor
daily reunited the party in New York, but
no other has such thorough knowledge of
the State or could approach Mr.. Tilden in
the political activity and dexterity with
which he will conduct his own canvass.
His extraordinary capacity as party tao
tician will make him formidable and his
success in managing State conventions,
and more recently in outman9uvring
all rivals and opponents at st. Louis.
will inspire great confidence in his
resources. His skill as a politician will give
his party faith in their leader, and this is
sometimes worth as much in politics as in
battle. He will have . powerful coadjutor
in Governor Seymour, whose unbounded
popularity and persuasive eloquence will be
potent in healing the recent discussions.
Highlanders do not follow the chief Of their
clan with more devoted zeal than the New
York democrats follow Horatio Seymour.
And yet, with all Tildens dexterity and
Seymour's speaking, the contest in this
State will be close and doubtful, with the
chances rather against the democrats.

CURIOUS QUESTION IN LAW arises out Of
the loss of the City of Waco, in Galveston
Bay, in November, 1875. A husband and
wife named Rogers were among the ill-fated
passengers, and the heirs Of both are con-
testing claim to q sum of money left in
bank by Mrs. Rogers. The case turns on
the question, Which died first, the husband
or the wife? II the former, then her next Of
kin can claim the money If the latter, then
the husband became her heir-at-law, and his
next of kin has the best claim. 1t is diff
cult matter to settle this case under the cir
cumstances.
