Ut
Arrest ed.

Thos. G. Leckey, telegraph opera
tor in FostoIia, was arrested last week,
charged with stealing thirty five dol
lars from a store money drawer. He
had, few days before, purchased an
overcoat and several other articles
aud paid for them in cash, when it was
understood that he was hard up, not
having received his wages for some
time When arrested he was making
a call on some Fostoria belle. He was
searched and some bills found tied up
in his handkerchief, which were rec
ognized as the stolen ones. He is un-
derstood to have quieted the matter
by agreeing to make up the amount he
was charged with stealing, although
protesting his innocence. Lcckey used
to be employed in town and was we'll
known as "Sankey" and 1.-THE blonde
and was quite favorite with some of
the ladies. Although accused of steal
ing a suit o. clothes, while in Findlay,
at one time, nothing could be proven
against him, and the fact that he at
tended church and Sunday school quite
regularly, induced most every one to
believe that the charge was untrue.
Such is life.

Ii IS at least consoling to find that
the Union Dime Savings Bank of New
York city, has sustained the run upon
it, during the past week, without los
ing the confidence Of its largest deposi-
tors. The bank examiner pronounced
it solvent, which did much to keep
down downright panic. In view of
the many failures of Savings Banks
there is ii general inquiry why tLey
should be more liable TO suspend than
other banks? Properly conducted they
would not be, but conducted, as so
many of them are, on the principle of
ruinous competition, the result is as
legitimate as night follows day. \
Savings Bank is opened with a prom
ise of liberal interest to time depositors;
another is opened and pays interest on
all deposits whether on time or de-
mand. Another raises the rate, and SO
it goes until the people who deposit
with the banks, are deriving for their
money all or more than all money is
worth. Tie consequence is rash spec
ulations on the part of the bank-risky
paper is shaved at great discount
one proportioned to the risk. Losses
follow, the depositors money dimin-
ishes and disappears, and the end is
Chicago. Savings Banks can be made
as secure as others, but only when busi
ness is done within legitimate channels.
When men who have money at risk,
coutrol the business, there is degree of
safety; but where the business is done
on deposits alone, and those deposits
are on heavy interest, larger interest
must be made in order to secure profit
for tia, bank. In the effort to make
that profit The bank takes risks that
private parties would not think of tax
ing, and the end comes in disaster.
Only when Savings Banks are conduct
ed on small margins to depositors, and
liberal terms to borrowers, and
in all cases of loans first class
securities, can TIE Savings Banks sys
TEN be made permanently safe.

INDICATIONS of a change, to some
extent, in the policy" and the admin
s.ration of the civil service rules are
apparent. The want of promptness
on the part of the Senate, ill dealing
with the Presidents nominations has
not been without effect. The more
you look at this thing the worse it
looks whether one man with a few
friends, called his cabinet, shall make
all ppointments-or whether the re-
sponsibility shall be divided with the
Representatives of the people. Wheth
er there is not as much danger of
abuse in the one case as in the other
If evidence of honesty and capacity
were required in all cases, there would
be little need of anything further TO
secure civil service reform; but to Sc
cure that disideratum the people must
take a more direct interest in the work
of political organizations, and them
selves make choice of officials instead
of permitting a few manipulators to
do it for them. And this is especially
SO in the choice of representatives.

Picken's Corner Letter,

Oct, 29th 1877.
ED. JEFF: 1t has been quite a while
since you have had anything from the
corners.
Farmers are quite busy gathering the
crop of corn, which, as general thing,
is not very extra, but answers a very
good purpose for fatening swine. Quite
a number of hogs have been sold and
delivered, ranging in price from 81 to
S. per 100.
Farmers and all concerned are very
busy cleaning out old bitches and also
making new ones; in short, there is

has been fully established, and l learn

devout and public confession of con-
