A bill has been introduced in the
Ohio Legislature which provides that
real property ordered to be sold in
execution, shall be sold without ap
praisal to the highest bidder. It
also provides that where a home
stead is ordered sold by a Court on
execution that it shall be valued
and appraised as follows. The debt
or shall select a disinterested free
holder, the creditor one, and these
two shall appoint a third. The three
persons shall then appraise the pro-
perty, and report their proceedings
to the proper officer, who shall adEer.
tise the sale for thirty days. All
sales of homesteads shall be made
upon the premises, and no home
stead shall be sold for less than sew
en- Fights of its appraised value. II
the sale should fail for want of bid
ders who will bid this sum, then it
shall not be offered for sale for two
years from that date, provided the
debtor permits or suffers no waste
and pay all taxes on the property as
they become due. The bill also con.
tains aprovision that it shall not
conflict with any fthe homestead
laws now on the statute book.

The revenue collector of whisky,

editorial pages of the weakly Regis

makes a very sickly at
tempt to be witty over our appoint
ment as one of the Trustees of the
Dayton Insane Asylum. The one
idea that appears uppermos. in the
hazlenut that is supposed to hold
the spoonful of brains possessed by
this Darwinian specimen of a man,
is, that like himself under similar
circumstances, we swelled out OF

vanity and lack of brains, so often
leads him into the same ridiculous
position of the monkey, that under

JOHN 0'CoNNER, the Democratic
member Of the Ohio Legislature from
the Soldiers Home of Montgomery
county, has come to grief and resign
ed bis seat in that body. O'CoNNER
was a Republican when he commit
ted all his crimes, and only came in
to the Democratic party to get an
office. The. disgrace will learn the
Democrats of that county to be more
careful in picking up Republicans
and putting them into honorable po-
sitions. Look up their pedigrees.

Poor bob is wonderfully distressed
because Gen. SHIELDS, a veteran
Democrat, did not get to be Door
keeper over another Democrat. 1t
is a melancholy fact, that bob's love
and mental distress for Democrats
who are disappointed in not getting
positions, will some day land MIN in
the Dayton Asylum, unless his
friends take charge of him.

thousand.

"Was Door-keeper Polk guilty of

handing his removal from Office"
We haven't the least doubt of the

Death Of Ex-Auditor William !.
Rarnhisar.

We are panied to announce this
week the death of our friend and
fellow-citizen, ex-Auditor WILLIAM
L. BARNHIsER, who died at his resi-
dence in Eaton on Monday evening
last, of Consumption, in the 37th
year of his age. Mr.. B. had been in
delicate health for a long time, and
it was hoped that his indomitable
energy and will would prolong his
life for many years, but death had
seized him, and with relentless grasp
pursued him closely through every
lane oflife to final victory. He serv-
ed two terms as County Auditor of
Preble County, and We but utter the
sentiments of all parties, when we
say that a more gentlemanly, oblig-
ing, honest and correct officer, never
filled a place in Preble county. We
regret his death-we loved BILLY
BARNHIsER-everybody loved and
will lament his loss-for his upright
ness, his integrity, his honesty had
endeared him to all who knew him.
He has gone from among US, and
will sleep well beneath tie clods
of the valley, while affections tears
and the remembrance of his many
manly qualities and virtues, will keep
green the turf above his resting
place, and all who linger at his grave
in after years will say, 'here lieth an
honest man, the noblest work OF
God" From a life of change, with
all its WEAKNESS and suffering he has
gone to rest, leaving a young wife, a
father, sisters, brother, and a host OF
friends, to mourn his departure.
May the early flowers of spring deck
well his grave, and may his wife find
consolation in the thought that his
spirit is with Him who gave it.
His funeral will take place to-day,
Thursday under charge of the Ma
sonic Order, and his remains be in.

etery.

The hypocrisy and cant of the Re
publican journals over the defeat of
Gen. SHIELDS, as Door-keeper of the
House, is the thinest thing we have
for a long time, and to read ar
ticles of pretended sympathy for him
from such creatures as Bob. Will
liams, is enough to make the SCOT On
the devils cheek turn scarlet. The
crocodile tears and hypocritical pre-
fences of these fellows, is not really
for Gen. SHIELDS, but to make party
capital for a rotten and defunct or
g%anization, as Hon. JOHN A. Mona
HON conclusively showed in the dis
cussion in the House over the cleo
tion of the Door keeper. The fact
in this debate was developed that,
while the Democrats had ever been
and still were ready and willing to
honor and reward Gen. SHIELDS, the
professions of a similar readiness up
on the part of the Republicans, were
nothing but hollow mockery, wind
and cant. 1t was shown that while
the Democrats had elected Gen.
SHIELDS to Congress from the Kan
sas city District, in Missouri, by a
majority of thousands, the Republic
cans had prescribed him and given
his seat to the man whom he had
beaten, and that this canttng old
"spoon thief" BEN. BUTLER, who now
demanded that the Democrats should
make him Door-keeper, had actually
voted against him-that during the
long years that the Republicans held
all the positions, legislative and ex-
ecutive, they had never done any
thing for him, but had never missed
an opportunity to wrong him foully
And this is a specimen of the n.y.
pocritical, canting dough-faces, who
are bowling about the ingratitude of
the Democratic party to soldiers
and Gen. SHIELDs-the party that in
days gone by had honored the vete-
ran soldier by electing him to the
United States Senate, once from I'LL
nois and once from Minnesota, and
once to a seat in Congress, which he
was cheated out of by Republican
votes, and wound up by placing him
IN his old age in thezretired list as a
Brigadier- General, worth double the
amount the Insignificant position OF
Door-keeper.

'loye for the soldiers" by leading

Some striking testimony relative
to The ucce of Gov. Hampton's adj
ministration in South Carolina is
furnished by correspondent of the
Springfield Republican. DR.. Rose
man the postmaster at Charleston, a
colored man of good Northern edu-
cation, said the blacks had no com
plant whatever to make. The color
ed postmaster at Columbia was equ-
ally well satisfied, and by an old o.
incidence both these negroes, who
are said to be among the beat repre4
sentatives of their race to be found
in the state, added to theirpraise of
Hampton the remark in almost the
same words: 81 can't help regard
ing it as providential that Wade
Hampton became Governor of South
Carolina. God only knows what
would have become of us if things
had kept on the way they were go
ing" The few respectable white re-
publicans to be found in the state,
agreed perfectly with this view, one
of them volunteering the statement:
"It's all a mistake these stories that
sometimes get into your papers up
north about the republicans of South
Carolina being unhappy under Dem
ocratic rule. The fact is, we repub.
licans here are a happy as bugs in
