rHE rrssLER QUESTION.

THE FESSLEk QUESIlON'
The Repository boasts of the manner
in which it has dished up the Fessler
matter. Well, they have tried to throw
blame upon and implicate innocent men,
and have not named nor referred to
those upon whose ADVICE George Fessler
went to Canada, taking thirty thousand
dollars of Stark county's money with
him.
If the Rep, wants to give the public
valuable information, let the editors give
the names of George Fessler's foolish or
knayish advisers. The great mistake Of
Fessler was the Canada movement. 1t
was a sad and fatal mistake, and his evi
advisers, whoever they were, deserve ex'
posure, and the severest censure and
punishment. Mr.. Fessler conhded IN
them, trusted them. He thought they
we're his friends, when they were his
worst enemies. He did not then suspect
design, Let the Repository commence
exposure here, at this point.
l. is not necessary to talk about ex-
amining the books in the Auditors Of
fee, What has this to do with Mr.. Fess-
ler's going to Canada? The Repository
errs when it says, or intimates, that the
County Commissioners ever took steps
to appoint Henry Cock and A, McGregor
or any one else, to examine the records
in the Auditors Office. The Commits
sioners believe the books correct, as they
no doubt are. In the columns of the
DEMOCRAT the history of the Fessler case
has been fully and fairly given. We
deal not in insinuations, for those are
only worthy towards or knaves. Mel
ther do we seek to shield the guilty. Mr.
Fessler being in the hands of the law,
no fair journal will seek to prejudice his
case.
The Repository attempts to make po-
litiCal party capital out of the Fessler
matter, and that is quite apparent. Its
insinuations, inuendoes and absolute
falsehoods make plain its purpose and
its infamy. Let it be remembered that
the gist Of the Fessler case, as it stands
now, is his flight to Canada with thirty
thousand dollars of Stark County's mon
ey. This is the whole case, thus far
and for this George Fessler is in prison.
For this he preferred to return where
he is known, and has friends, rather
than remain in Canada and take his
chance among strangers. Mr.. Fessler
knows that his mistake was in going to
Canada. He knows we'll that those who
so advised were his worst enemies in
fact.
The public should also know that, aC.
cording to law, the County Commission
ers in March last examined and counted
the funds in the County Treasury, and
found everything right and the required
amount there. Again, in April, Probate
Judge Heldenbrand, a Republican, ap-
pointed Geo. W. Lawrence Esq, also a
Republican, to examine and count the
funds, who also found all right and the
proper amount on hand. These men all
acted under oath, and their reports are
duly authenticated and on file in the
proper Office. They found no deficit
then, These are facts worthy of Consid-
GRAFTON; facts that may have some bear
ing on matters and things to be disposed
of in the future. They are important
hinging facts, full of significance.

THE CAUSE OF INDIAN TROUB-
T.E9

LES.
There is no doubt that the Indian wars
are the outcrop of the sCandalous rob-
berry perpetrated upon the Indians. The
Indian agents are radical politicians, de-
termined on getting rich by robbing the
Government and robbing the Indians.
1t is estimated that the Indians do not
get over forty cents out of every dollar
appropriated by Congress. .
ut is hard" said gentleman to Gen.
Crook, one of our most successful Indian
fighters, "that men and officers should
be sent out to be killed by the Indians,
when all the trouble has been brought
about by thieVing agents." "That is not
the hardest thing" replied the General.
ga harder thing is to be forced to kill
the Indians when they are clearly in
the right" The General, of course, did
not mean that the Indians were right in
their savage retaliations, murders and
cruelties, but that these were provoked
by the wrongs put upon them by the
white aggressors, and that it was hard to
kill them for crimes into which they are
driven by such wrongs.
A comparison of the cost of the Indians
before and since the civil war, will give
an idea of the extent Of the robberies
which have been perpetrated since Gen.
Grants much lauded Indian policy was
put into effect. 1t is neither an honest
or a peaceful policy; but encourages
thieving from the Government and the
Indians, and is productive of massacres,
which in their turn are followed by raids
on the Indians. AS to the cost of the
Indian service, the official figures in the
Treasury reports show as follows;
For ten years Indian service, from 1868
1873, inclusive two terms of Grant,
and one year Of Hayes in round
Sj4OOOOOO
For ten years Indian service, from 1851
to 1861 inclusive under Fillmore, Blu
chanan and Pierce, in round num-
..................... 2OOOOOOO
Excess under Republican rule.,,,.," s3I,OOOOOO
The number of Indians was greater
before than since the rebellion. The
tribes are now estimated at two hundred
and sixty thousand. The reports are
made by agents directly interested in
magnifying the different tribes. But as.
suming the census to be true, it is seen
that in the short period of ten years, the
cost of this service has been increased
170 per cent. The thirty.fO millions
was no doubt stolen, and mainly divided
among the members of the Indian ring
in the West and at Washington. Large
contributions were exacted from the
plunder for the benefit of Republican
campaign funds, and to aid in retaining
in Congress serviceable Senators and
Representatives.

CARL ScHURz has decided that the pub

are not granted forever, but three years
after the completion of the roads fall un-
der the pre- emption law, and may be ia
ken up by actual settlers at 81 25 an acre
paid to the roads. This is decision of
vast Importance. The following are the

these lands:

The railroad men are not pleased with
this decision, and stalwart Senators who
will not like it may be found, but we
presume the decision to be just and wise,
and that in the end it may be profitable
to the railroads themselves, by promo
ting the growth of settlements and the
cultivation of the land along their lines.
They should accept the situation grace
fully if not cheerfully.-Cin. Commercial.

That Congressional Convention in the
10th district was a kind of Kilkenny cat
fight. MGGregor, Eshelman, Warwick
and others went in red-hot and chewed
each other up, and Gen. Wiley was fore
ed to carry off the laurels. Whatever
might have been said of any or all those
who sought the nomination, it will read
lily be conceded by almost everybody
that the convention made an excellent
nomination. General Wiley is man of
very decided ability, and is very popular
with the voting people; and his personal
popularity is not to be despised in dis
trict where political parties are so evenly
balanced as in the 10th. We predict the
election Of Gen. Wiley by handsome
majority, and that he will make a big
mark in the national Congress, ,-HolmeS

Robeson's Rasoalities.

the cnormities OF the rascahties of
Robson as follows: "Robeson,

torical triumphs as Prosecuting At

Courts of Camden and Newark,
was suddenly translated one fine
morning TO be Cabinet Minister,
upon General Grant discovering
that his hospitable old Philadelphia
friend, the estimable Mr.. Berlc,

government department than an as
economical observatory, had merry
time while it lasted, and made hay

Of the unfortunate Robson has
itself created in reaction a natural

presented by n committee of the

The English press differ greatly
in opinion as to the result so far
reached by the congress. AS the
Times may be taken for fair rep
resentative of the general pubic
sentiment, we copy what 1T says as
follows: The congress, like most
reasonable assemblies, has disap-
pointed both extreme views which
had been known Of its prospects.
1t has been sitting for more than a
fortnight, but the questions which
threatened most directly the peace
of Europe, have been in substance;
solved. England having secured
the barrier of the Balkans to Iur-

Sherman's Game.

Special TO Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t now transpiros that at Cabi-
net meeting held over two weeks
ago, Secretary Sherman developed
his plan of resumption, which, in
short, is to anticipate the date
fixed for making specie payments
mandatory under the resumption
law, and to try the experiment in
advance of the meeting of the Sec
ond session of the Forty-iifth Con-
gross. He Is silly enough 20 be
lieve that if he makes feint in ad-
vance of the meeting Of Congress
he can prevent Legislation to inter
cept his plan of endeavering to
force resumption, even though it
can be maintained six months.
The next session of Congress is a
short one, and his scheme is to
fight of all financial legislation IN
der the cry chat resumption has
been reached. Although he has
not resources to maintain a specie
basis for six months, lac is a fanatic
on the subject. His theory seems
TO be that equalization means re
sumtion, and that IL he can bring
greenbacks TO par with gold, re
sumption is accomplished. Taking
the chances that when that equali-
cation is reached the people will
not want gold, but will prefer green
backs as g more convenient com
modify of exchange, and will not
press the treasury for us redemp-
tion. His plan is wholly theoreti-
cal. and will stand just so long as
the people have faith in his ability
to hold his own, but as the greater
majority do not believe he can
maintain his theory he is liable to
break down within six monthss af-
ter the experiment and again sub
iect the country to the distress and
tribnlation of whatever experiment
may subject itself to his erratic
fancy.
