ROBERT FENTON.

The following may be considered mcr-
tied compliment, coming as it does from
the Democratic Erpositor, of Wauseon, a
rabid Democratic paper in Mr.. FENToN's
county, which did all it was able to defeat
his election. Mr. FENToN was formerly
resident Of Wood county, and Is brother
of our sterling little Scotchman, Mr..
ROBERT FENToN, of Webster township:
While at Columbus the other day, we
took occasion to call on our Representa-
tive, John Fenton. We found that gen.
teman in his scat diligently attending TO
his duties. BY his steady and regular at
tendance, close attention and gentlemanly
department, Mr.. Fenton is fast becoming
a prominent member of the General As.
senlbly For this we surely have no re-
grets. Though we opposed his election
bitterly, because we believed that his nom
inauon was accomplished by clique, we
are ready to believe as his friends assert,
that he had nothing to do with their
Vaccinations. Mr.. Fenton has our best
wishes.

those whose chief claim to public consider

be, that investigation will establish the 81

are reasons why the people should have
more information to that effect than they
now possess. The country may want the
Union administered Just m the Confcdera-

act intelligently without more definite
knowledge az to how that was manged
Then, let the work of investigation be pros

choice the people may make of the two.

Supposed DcfaIcntIon IN the Ottawa
County Treasury.

At Genoa, yesterday, new phase was
eullies. To better understand the matter, il
will be necessary togo back to the beginning.
John IL. Magee, the Democratic treasurer
OF that county, has been more than strongly
suspected of fspeculating heavily with coun-
ty funds; and upon the strength OF these
suspicious, application was made to the
State Auditor, who appointed as an exam
iner to examine the condition of the treas
ury, Mr.. J. B. Wright, of Port Clinton
On the 10th Of February, it will be recol-
lected, he went to the treasurer's office, ex-
hibited his warrant, and demanded the keys
and combination Of the locks of the vault
The deputy was present, but had not the
keys in his possession. On the next day
the Treasurer came, obtained possession Of
the keys of the efiice which Wright had
secured on writ OF replcvin, and thrust
him out of doors. On this occasion Ma
gee was accompanied by number of his
friends, and Immediately after Mr.. Wright
was disposed of, closed the doors OF the Of
fee and opened the vaults, for the purpose,
it is alleged, of restoring to them the money
which Mr. Wright would not have found
had he been able to open them. Subse-
quently Mr.. Wright was given access to the
books, when he made a partial examina-
tion and found that there was still deficit
Of $2,000.4l. He reported to the Probate
Judge, and on two seperate occasions asked
that warrant be issued for Magee's arrest
for impeding and resisting an examining
officer, but was refused. Complaints were
then made before Justice Rundell, Of Ge-
noa, and Magee was arrested. Yesterday
the case was tried, Judge Sloan, of Porl
Clinton, Judge Richie and John r. Kun
Ter, Esq, appearing for the State, and T.
j. Marshall, Esq, of Port Clinton, and j,
r. Tyler, Esq, Of Perrysburg, for Magee,
BY statute this is made special oflense,
punishable by no less than one, or moro
than 81 years imprisonment. The case
lasted all day, and terminated in Magee
being bound over to the Common Pleas
Court in 5000 lie was immediately re-
arrested on charge Of embezzlement, but
waived examination, and was bound over
in $1,000.
There Ia ample evidence, II is said, to
convict Magee; and an investigation will
show heavy efalcations-much beyond
popular ideas.-- Toledo Commercial, 10Th inst.

Gun Cotton is one Of the curious tri-
umphs of the past few years of chemistry.
It was never imagined that the well-known
and useful vegetable fiber called cotton
could be converted into one OF the most
powerful explosive compounds known, and
would serve as an article OF offensive and
defensive warfare. At the present time a
number Of batteries of artillery in the Aus
trian service use gun cotton. 1t is em-
ployed largely by the English Government
in their military service. 1t is also used
Tor blasting quarries.
