THE old Scotch bagpipe Tilden wah
windmill McGregor paper at Canton,
feels terribly indignant because the In
dependent ventured to commend John
Webb, the efficient city marshal of Can
ton, for the vigilance which he exercises
in the discharge of his duties.-Ma8sillon
Independent
Mr.. Webb's "duties" as marshal of Can
ton do not require him to dance alter.
dance on Cleveland detectives, to run to
Illinois and help capture Massillon's
criminals. If it had been a Canton Grim
inal there would have been some excuse.
Surely it is not fair for Mr.. Webb to run
abroad this way and draw pay from Can
ton at the same time.
Besides, why did not the Independent
tell the truth, that Webb, in going to H.
linois for Morrison, was merely dancing
attending on Reeves, Cleveland detec-
tiveP Is that what Canton elects and
pays marshal for?
But let this "Independenf blaCkguard
tell the whole truth next time that he
puffs Mr.. Webb. Do not suppress truth
so as to give wrong impression-to give
Webb credit that he is not entitled to.
Perhaps the Independent man fears to fol-
low truth too near lest she should kick
out his teeth. 1t is said the affairs of
this world are kept together by what lit
tie truth and integrity still remain
amongst us, but really there seems to be
too little of those precious articles to hold
the Republican party together. And
yet some claim it is "the party of great
moral IDEAS"
An editor may be coarse, use slang,
even show himselfin his paper black
guard may get away down in the gutter
of personal vituperation only those edi-
tors, however, who falsify, or seek to boil
ster up wrong and fraud need to resort
to this debasing policy. Those who stand
by truth and right need not so degrade
themselves, but may follow an elevating
course both in sentiment and utterance,
Our neighbor Of the Independent is COM
paratively young man, and may not
have learned the difference, even in wri-
ting, between decency tending to digni-
ty, and coarseness running into vulgarity.

ABOUT PAYING ELECTION BETS.
HuBpARp, O., March 18th. 1877.

HUBBARD, o., March 10Th, 1877.
Editor Pindicdtor Il had bet on the
election of Mr.. Tilden and now am of the
opinion should not pay it, as think he
was honestly elected.
l concluded to solicit your judgment in
reference to it, and respectfully ask that
for the benefit of your readers who may
be in the same same category. you give
in the next issue of the VindicatOr your
views on the subject. SUBSCRIBER.
We have always believed in meeting
and paying acknowledged obligations,
whether with or without consideration.
The highest test of a mans honesty and
honor is to pay obligations where no le-
gal claim can be made against him. In
other words, in meeting bets of "honor"
man proves his intention to deal fairly
with the world, and keeps his word good
with his fellow men. If man makes
wager and loses he should pay. But we
don't believe in fraud, neither do we think
a persen should win through fraud, or
that an honorable gentleman would take
money that might be obtained in that
way. Therefore we are of the opinion that
persons WHO D6J Ou NnT. lllueu 6leCJlOn
ought not to lose. That he was really
elected no intelligent, honest man can
doubt or will question. If the bet was on
who would be inaugurated the case pre-
sents different phase, and the baCker of
Mr.. Hayes has won. Mr.. Tilden carried
Louisiana as fairly and by much larger
majority than Mr.. Hayes carried Ohio,
and should in all honesty have received
the electoral vote of that State. It's also
true that Mr1Tilden carried Florida, and
no thieving Returning Board should be
allowed to defraud the people out of their
even if they did Mr.. Tilden outof
the Presidency. The Vindicator has ad-
vised persons not to pay bets made on
the election, and, as further reason for
our judgement in this matter we give the
above. We say do not pay oChere the bet
was on the election of Mr.. 1ilden, for he uas
certainly fairly elected Koungsto1on (OhiO)
Vindicdt0r.

ROBBING THE EXPRESS,
A Daring Plot Skilfaly Executed Near
The Smoky City.



A well planned and skilfully executed
express robbery way perpetrated in this
city last night. Superintendent Bingham
of the express company, gives the follow
ing particulars this evening: Yesterday
afternoon when the Buffalo express south
reached Brady's Bend telegram was
handed Thomas Bingham, express mes
senger, which instructed him to transfer
his packages, &C., to ]. H. Brooks at Tenn
pleton, and return to Parker's Landing
and await orders. This was dated Pitts
burgh, and signed "Geo. Bingham, SUI
perintendent." Templeton is a small
station on the Allegheny Valley Railroad,
fifty miles from this city. The Buffalo
express south and the train going north
meet there and stop for supper. On the
arrival of the train at Templeton man
stepped into the express car and told
Messenger Bingham that he was ordered
to relieve him and take his run to Pitts
burgh Mr.. Bingham asked him for his
instructions and he produced telegram
addressed to j. H. Brooks, instructing
Brooks to relieve Bingham at Templeton
and bring the express matter to Pitts
burgh. This was also signed George
Bingham, Superintendent" Bingham,
after the transfer to Brooks took the
north train to Parker's Landing, and
Brooks came to this city in charge of the
express car. At the depot in this city his
goods were checked off correctly and he
got into the wagon with the driver to de-
liver the goods and report at the general
office on Fifth avenue. The robbery was
committed in the wagon between the de-
pot and the office. Hejumped from the
wagon, unnotiCed by the driver, when
less than half a square from the office.
The safe was found open and money
packages amounting to $4,000 were miss
ing on arrival at the Office. Brooks had
cut the railroad telegraph wire this side
of Templeton, drew the wire into watch
house there, and with pocket instru-
ment sent the bogus messages which OPP
Grated so successfully.

GEORGE W. 0ldfeld, when city mar
shal of Canton, was called to Iowa to at
tend his father-in-law's funeral, being
absent about ten days in all and for
this the City Council docked him. How
comes it, and why is it, that Marshal
Webb can cavort to Canada, Indiana, H.
linois, &c, in the employ of the railway
company and other outside parties, help
ing to arrest criminals, and still draw his
pay as Canton's MARSHALL OF course
he gets good pay from these outside par
ties, and while serving them is not serv-
ing the city. We submit this question

JOHN D. LEES CONFESSION.

A telegram from Beaver, Utah, dated
7th inst, to the San Francisco papers,
says: "In the District Court for the
Southern District of Utah the remittitur
from the Supreme Cout of the Territory
was presented commanding the District
Court to fix a new date for the execution
of John D. Lee. Accordingly, the Court
fixed Friday, March 90, as the date of
such execution. In accordance with the
choice heretofore made and still adhered
to, Lee will be shot as the mode of exc
cution. The Sheriff will in this, as
in cases of hanging, be the exc
cutioner. 1t is not definitely determined
as to the details of the execution. Lee
has made full confession of his con-
nection with the crime for which he is to
die, and with it has confessed to many
other crimes of which he has cognizance.
The United States District Attorney has
all these documents, but declines to sur
sender any part of them, on account of
the ends of public justice to be subserved
by them. Lee bears his coming fate with
fortitude, and is answering in his pur-
pose to tell the whole truth"

HAYES don't take the Southern bull by
the horns very fast; he hardly grips the
tail. He told Pinchback the policy of
absolute non-intervention afforded the
only ray of daylight to be seen through
the clouds that envelope Louisiana. He
saw nothing but strife and discord in the
effort to uphold Packard. A new elec-
ton was not possible, as it would require
an enabling act to passed by Congress,
and as this could only be done on the
supposition that the State government
was not republican in form, it would in
validate the electoral vote.

CANToN.-The statement of Receipts
and Expenditures of our city for the past
year will be found in this paper. AS the
City Council seems disposed to econo-
mize, we call attention to the Police ex.
penses now and two years ago. The
past year lit will be seen they were $3-
6S9,1S; while two years ago, the last year
of Marshal Oldfeld, the Police account
was $2,760.47. This shows an increase of
$500 under this year of Mr.. Webb. The
increase last year, the first year of Webb
over Oldfeld's previous year was $5O4.
Let our citizens and the Council look into
this matter. We believe the peace and
good order ofthe city under Oldfeld was
at least as well preserved as sunder Webb.
We presume Mayor Braden is somewhat
responsible for this large increase. All
these are matters worthy of considera.
ton by our citizens.

THERE has never been time in the
history of Ohio when there was greater
pressure to have the Legislature relieve
defaulting tressurers and other officials
holding places of trust. One of the most
important of these relief bills is the one
passed yesterday in the Senate, and to-
day in the House for the relief of Koch
and Helman, defaulting treasurers of
Wayne county, whose aggregate deficits
are over $4,000. The number of similar
bills still pending for minor defaulters is
legion, and the Assembly cannot too
closely scrutinize them before their paOE

HIS FRA UDULENCYS FRA I'D.

If Washington news is to be credited,
his Fraudulency has gone back on the
promises he made-or rather were made
in his behalf-to the Southern Congress-
men, that if allowed to enter in peaCeable
possession of the stolen property he would
see that Louisiana and South Carolina
were made secure in the right of self gov.
ernment undisturbed by the pressure of
bayonets or Federal support of the thiev-
ing carpet-baggers. Hayes has just deci-
ded all these promises aliundi, and in
stead of fairly meeting the expectations
people had been forming from his pacific
utterances, has determined on policy of
delay, of continued military Intervention,
of patchwork commission of old poll
ticians, and of corrupt inducement to one
side or the other to sell out. This seems
to be what it all means. The Cabinet
was divided. Evarts, Schurz and Key
were in favor of moving the troops at
once. Mephistopholes Sherman, ,Thomp-
son and McCrary were opposed, and
DeVenS was neutral. % hayes maSSeu
his powerful intellect on the subject and
decided on a com omission to 60 South and
report. All the talk of Southern
pacifcation amounts to nothing. The
Southern question has fallen back to its
old proportions, and the idea is not to do
what is plainly right and honest, but to
trick and cheat somebody 80 as to main
tain the unity of the party.
This policy of deception, we suppose,
comes natural to the Returning Board
President Considering how he obtained
his Office, and the avenue of fraud, for.
gerry and perjury over which he walked
to the White House, no one need be dis
appointed the way he promises to pan
out. Any other would be unnatural

The threatened contest over the will Of
the late Commodore Vanderbilt has come
to an end by an agreement among the
parties interested. AS an incident of the
case it is mentioned that VIM. NJ. Evarts,
one of the council in the case, had been
already paid a retaining fee of $5OOOO.-
This will be nice sum to set up Mr..
Evarts in housekeeping in Washington,
and probably so large an amount was
never before so easily earned.

which is "Thou shalt not steal"
