WHOLESALE SEDUCTION.
Five Men on Trial for Debauching n
Dozen or More Young Girls.

Dozen or More Young Girls.
Special TO the Cincinnati Gazette.
RED OAK, IA, January q Five men
were recently arrested here and are now
on trial for the seduction OF dozen or
moro young girls Of this city. Two OF the
men are married. Their plan of opera.
tion was to inveigle young girls into
Offices and other places, under the pre-
tense of spending the evening socially.
This practice was kept up for some time,
the girls having no idea Of any
designs upon their virtue, until the
ruin of two of their number was accom-.
plished. One was about fifteen years of
age, the daughter of minister. and the
other,was somewhat older and the dsugh-
ter of lawyer. The younger of the
girls was detained from ner home, it is
claimed, by these five men now under
arrest, for four days. A portion of the
time, it is asserted, she was kept in the
office of one of her seducers, and
the remainder of the time at
the hotel, with the completely
of the landlord. During the absence
of the girl, her father WAS making all
possible efforts to learn of her where.
sbouts. He actually made inquiries Of
some of the gang who accomplished her
ruin. Finally, after nightfall of the
fourth day, the parties became alarmed
and moved the girl to another hotel,
with the intention OF taking her to Coun.
Gil Bluffs tie next day. In this they
were frustrated, as the landlord Of that
hotel informed the fa.her Of
the facts, and he succeeded in getting her
away and taking her home, where she
now remains. The excitement through.
out the community is intense, and the
guilty parties will surely meet with the
punishment they SO richly deserve.

THAT DECISION.

CAMPBELL has fairly howled himself
hosrse over decision Mr.. BAKER made
as President of the Senate of this State
We refer to the instance in which he
saws we decided that IL is 8 majority ol
o." The reading public will readily
call to mind the whole case. 1t was this;
A bill had passed the House OF Dele
gates removing the county seat Of Jetier'
son county, from Shepherdstown, to
which place it had been violently re-
moved for political reasons short time
before, to Charlestown where it had for
merly been for several generations. The
bill came to the Senate, where its passage
was closely contested.
A full Senate at that time consisted oi
twenty-five members. One member
Hon. OKKY JoHssoN-hsd been CON-
PEELED to 60 homo very sick, and his
sickness being of uncertain DURATION In
order TO remove sense of responsibility
from his mind, by the advice o: his
friends he resigned. When the bill for
the removal OF the county seat of etier-
son county came up on its final passage
in the Senate, eleven members voted for
it and ten against. Thereupon, MIR.
BAKER decided it law.
The opponents of removal took the
case to the Supreme Court of Appeals,
where it was ably argued on both sides
and decided by a full BEECH. The Court
was then composed of the following dis
tinguished gentlemen: Judges MAX
WE'LL. BERKSHIRE and MOORE. The
two former gentlemen are Republicans
and the latter Democrat. Judge MAX
WE'LL delivered the opinion OF the Court,
in an able and conclusive argument, sus-
tanning Mr.. BAKERS decision. Judge
BERKSHIRE dissented, but presented no
dissenting report.
For the correctness of the above state
meDt, we appeal to the Journal OF the
Senate for 1871, and to the Fifth volume
of tho Reports of the Court of Appeals OF
West Virginia.
Now, we submit 10 any citizen OF IN
tellIgence and fairness. whether CAMP
BELLS attacks upon US in this connection
have not been entirely without tounda-
ton or excuse, and base and brutal in
their nature.
And now, we desire to say in reply TO
what he says about what no is pleased to
call our "record," that the record of our
life is as open ao the light OF day. there
is not in it single act that We care to
conceal from the fullest public scrutiny
not one of which we feel, o. have any
need to feel, the slightest shame.

Indian Outbreak.

SAv FRAScIsco, January IA Port
land dispstch says Henry Payne, who

had nothing whatever to do with it.
The origin Is accounted for in this way:
1t commenced in the ceiling or rsfters
OF the dining room, in which there was
and had been fire. In the construction
CT the house, the builder, as has been dis
covered, projected into the chlmneys one
or more OF the rstters of the floor and
ceiling, and as the fact is that the fire
commenced in the ceiling, it is deduced
that this projecting rafter into the Chin
ney where it has been for years, in con-
tact with the product of combustion as.
cending the chimney, took fire, and
caused the destruction. This can be
proven by the Deitricks and the ladies
then on the premises.
There was no infdelity but by Dorcas
Fleisner, and there was no inharmony
but by her. She proved nothing and the
record shows it, the decree shows it, and
her commencement of divorce proceed
ings was only commenced to forestsll
action on my part, and for many years
her aim seems to have been to destroy
your humble servant. l regret that I
must appear in print, but the item in
your issue of the 22d of November COM
pei me to justify my acts. My character
is beyond reproach. JOHN FLE;sNER
All that Mr.. FLEIsNER will ever get
from the REGISTER Company for that
publication he can put in the northwest
corner of his eye.

An OLD DRUG HOUSE.

DIR. A. l.. MEYER, the distinguished
Jewish Rabbi OF this city, is much more
of literary character than most OF the
citizens of Wheeling are aware. He is
the author OF quite long list OF books,
most of which were printed in Europe
prior to his arrival in this country, but
one of his latest, "Cullings from Carmel
q copy of which he has courteou;ly
handed us, was printed more recently.
This book we shall refer TO again. In
conversation with the Doctor yesterday,
he gave us an account of drug store
in Coblentz, which hiss been IN single
family for two hundred years-hsving
been founded in Misunderstanding IN q
direct line from father TO son. AS
marked evidence of the change in the
beliefs of mankind, and the advance
from a period marked by mere faith to
period Of science, it is mentioned that, at
the celebration OF the two bundredth an
niverssry of this house, forty-two pieces
o! smulets, which were worn to protect
the wesrer from pestilence and
disease were found. The Doctor has an
smule, which is over six hundred years
old, and which has been in his family
nearly two hundred years, written in
Hebrew and Chsldsic, and which was
believed, in that age of the word, 10
guard the wesrer against heart disease,
swindle, hesdsche, envy, evil spirits, en-
chsu,ers and sorcerers, devils, deceptive
females, &c. They also found nineteen
different kinds of grease or fat of differ
ent animals, teeth of the boar and h'p.
popotsmus, lungs of foxes, spiders
and large collection OF min
erals, and SO oD, which may have been
hundreds of years old. and whose use
rested on the faith of the patient.
