The Cincinnati Commercial has been
in the habit of attempting to poke fun
at the Rural Roosters," the Country
Jakes." who edit the county printing.
That great newspaper has been entirely
above any sordid motive. Poor human
nature. 1t is the same, whether it be in
the broad green fields of the glorious
country, or in the smoky, ratty, buggy
attic editorial room of the great city.
The Commercial got an idea that it
could get the Sheriff printing in Hamil-
ton county, and undertook to underbid
the other papers, and very generously
proposed to print the Sheriffs advertise
ments of real estate for 66s cents per
square. Where the joke comes in, is the
fact that the law only permits publishers
to charge 60 cents per square. The first
insertion is one dollar per square, and
each subsequent insertion fifty cents.
The law REQUIRES these advertisements to
be published thirty days prior to the
day OF sale, or five insertions. This gives
three dollars per square for the FIVE in
sertions, or sixty cents for each inser-
tion.
The Sheriff of Hamilton county did
not propose TO pay the Commercial 81
cents out of his own pocket, and he gave
the advertising to the Times at the rates
fixed by law. 60 cents per square.
Whereupon the Commercial howls for
.eonomy and reforns

We do not take much stock in sensa-
tional stories, and charges of stealing,
fraud, etc Some of the Presidential
Electors claimed that an attempt had
been made to bribe them to vote for Til
den. This may have been true, but we
would prefer to see the evidence. While
we doubt such stories generally, we are
pretty well satisfied that Tilden sent
money to Oregon to buy the Cronin vote.
The Committee of the Senate, having the
matter in charge, have very nearly fas-
tened the matter upon Tilden, that he
sent $4,000, 'and perhaps 10000, to help
steal one vote in Oregon.

Packard and Nichols were both inau-
gurated as Governors Of Louisiana last
week, and each is acting as Governor,
aud there is Republican Legislature
and Democratic Legislature in full
blast. Gov. Nichols has some 5000
armed rebels in New Orleans to sustain
him, and Gov. Packard is loudly calling
on President Grant for aid. while Gen.
Augur, at the head of few National
troops. says there must be no fighting,
or he will have a hand in it. Great
country this.

Wementioned last week that Frederick
May had struck and injured James Cor
don Bennett, editor of the N. Y. Herald
on account of BENEFITS conduct towards
his (May's) sister, to whom Ben nett was
engaged to be married. Bennett chal-
lenged May, and it is supposed that they
fought duel There have been all sorts
of reports about the affair. 1t has been
positively asserted that May was wound
ed, and positively denied. Most unfor-
tunately, neither of the fools was killed

Some two-legged devil has been com.
hitting 4 crime which should send him
to the Penitentiary. The Ironton Regis
ter thus refers to the crime:
We are told that the horses which had
croton oil or vitriol poured into their
ears, OF which we spoke last week, will
all die. Already one Of Dillon's is dead.
and another Is As good a. dead. Evan
Jones two horses are getting worse. and
he says nothing will save them. They
refuse TO eat. The horses present = ter.
rible appearance, especially about the
ears. where the effects Of the poison are
really revolving. IL is said that croton
oil did the work, and that the villainy
was committed at or near seiotovillc. BY
whom. no one knows. This is a matter
that demands investigation.

The convention of bull-dozers and
bummers at Columbus on the Sth did
not scare many people. 1t really did
not amount to anything. The crowd
was not large-4.0O0 being the highest
estimate of impartial judges. Of course
there was some war talk. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer pretended to be delighted
with the proceedings, and said that the
meeting evidently showed that If the
President of the Senate. attempted to
count the electoral votes the Democra Is
would make war. That is, Hayes is to
be elected in the same manner that were
Washington, Jefferson, John Adams,
Madison and Monroe, then the Demo
Gratis will begin another rebellion. What
do honest Democrats think of their
party?

The Democrats are in the habit Of call
ing meetings for the people to attend,
meaning by the people. the bulI-dozing
Democracy. They got out such a call at
Athens. when Joe Kessinger. most rad
ical Republican, and one Of Grants Col
lector's, attended. He was one of the
people, and as such, had a right, under
the call, to attend and participate in the
proceedings. The Democrats said it was
impertinent in Mr.. Kessinger to attempt
to take part in their meeting. Why not
call their meetings in the name of the
rebel Democracy No one is deceived
by this can't about peoples meeting.

SENDHIM HOME.

We notice a near relative to damphool,
named Kemp, has introduced a bill into
the Ohio Legislature to repeal the law
publishing county advertisements in two
newspapers of opposite politics. We ad-
wise Kemp's constituents to send for
him. soft-soap his head and consign him
TO an assinine insylum. Better abolish
the Legislature than send such creatures
as Kemp to make laws Herald.
Our impression is that Kemp is Dem
ocrat, and lives in a county where his
party paper has a sure thing of the pub
lie printing. Last winter we favored the
passage of the present law, upon general
principles-not that we had any personal
or pecuniary interest in the matter.
There is not a Democratic county officer
in this county, and there is no prospect
that there will be soon But Democrats
pay their share of taxes, and have q
right to see the public advertisements in
their party paper. As a matter o.
economy it is the same as private adver
tisements. business man generally
makes money by advertising in two pa
pers. one of each political party.

|. Our population was never so

9. There was never before so much
land under cultivation in these United
States, nor such u large aggregate OF
produce raised.
3. There were never greater facili-
ties for transportation.
4. Our wheat, corn, provision, but

cash at fair prices.
s. There is plenty Of money to be
had at moderate rate OF interest, as
soon as the owners consider it safe to

6. The hard times have been the
hes. times we have had for revivals of
religion and temperance.
7. The whole nation has been prac-
Licing economy.
s. The state Of Exchange with other
countries is such as would enable US to
restore specie payment now if we
choose
8. Our political troubles are over,
ard an era Of good feeling is returning
to this long divided and distracted
country.
All these reasons combined lead us
to anticipate the return of good bust
ness generally, and II gradual rise in
values Of nearly all kinds of property.

MIR. WIN. NJ EvarLs is mentioned in
various quarters rs candidate for
president IN 1880, and the peculiar pol
ICY oI the present Administration is
supposed to be ~ considerable meas.
urG designed and prompted by Mr.. Ey.
arts with Il view to improving his
chances
1t is not yet quite certain that when
the time comes, three years hence, the
Fraudulent President will not want to
5o candidate himself, and then the
Secretary Of State will have to stand
back and wait until 1884. But if
II ayes prefers retirement, AS we have
no doubt he will, his prime minister
can present himself; and the first qucs-
ton is whether he will run as a Repub
Iican or Democratic candidate OF
course he will not appear us either
since the Fraudulent Administration
whereof he is well deserving pillar,
belongs to neither party, ThougI
supported in the election by RcpubIi-
cans, and counted in ny the most au-
daclous set Of Republicans, this Adj
ministration is now neither Republican
nor Democratic. This being the case
Mr. Evarts will have to ran rs the can
didate Of the new party, the Hayes
party; and the platform Of this party
so far as IL is yet developed, consists
Of hostility to the old line Republican
on the one side, and blarney and Office
and subsidies for the Democrats OF
the other.
1t is too early to develop Iully TIN
plan Of campaign Of the new party II
1880; but there will. no doubt, b.
novelties in it. Mr., Evarts IS MAJ
Of talent, and he will not he likely tt
make q commonplace sort Of Il run. o
course he wall adhere strongly 10 tn
great system Of Returning Boards, AM
will take care beforehand to have then
established in every State, Then, i
he is defeated in tho election, as, nj
doubt, he will be, he will still be abl
to get himself counted in; and, If h
succeeds in this, we shall have anothc
Fraudulent President to follow the on
we now enjoy. We beg to congratu
late Mr. EvultS on such cheering pros
poets lie is AZ ambitious man, AM
perhaps The situation delights him.
