We have watched the opposition papers
with much interest to see il they could
trump up charge against Capt JAS. B.
LUcKEY. So far we have seen nothing
that amounted to anything worth speak
ing Of. On the contrary they generally
speak well OF him. The Sandusky Demo
erat says: "rhe Republicans have, in
Captain Luckey, most excellent candi-
date, and it would not surprise us were
he elected"

The Secretary OF the Navy,


The Cincinnati Gazette but speaks the
sentiment OF the great mass OF our people
in the following:
If Secretary Thompson, having from his
very installation III the offire of Secretary
Of the Navy ripped into the jubbery that hnd
grown like ancient barnacles upon the de-
partment and having now made an inspec.
tiOn OF the navy and navy yards, shall
plant himself on the impregnable ground
that our country needs no navy and ought
to abandon the preiense of keeping up n
navy, lie will distinguish himself by taking
II position which the cOuntry's common
sense would approve, and declaring for u
Statesman ike course which would strike
out from $20,000,0 900 To S30000,0 900 from
our taxes. The time is now favorable he
cause we have nothing as compared with
| England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia,
| Spain or Turkey, that can he called navy.
| We have no war ship, or dozen war ships,
that could cope with one first or second
rate ship Of the navies of any Of these
| powers. To create Il navy means to con
struct new one, which means a very large
increase in the naval expenditure. This
country IL imprcgnable on land, and will
never he such n fool az to go to sea to fight
u naval power. No navy in the world cnr
keep merchant ships afloat in time Of war
Therefore navy is to usa costly sham.

The Kenton Democrat gives the particu-
lars of several professional tramps who
paid that town a visit several months
since got on n general bender and made
things lively for time. They were iinally
captured and sent up for 60 days and the
usual fine. The Jail not being safe at Ken
ton they were taken to Tiffin and served
out their sentence. They threatened, with
fearful oaths to kill al, connected with
their arrest and burn and pilage the town.
On being released two of the party, accom-
panied by other trnmps, visited Kenton
and made an attack upon one of the party
implicated in the arrest, and renewed their
threats to kill others. The two and one
other were finally captured, the Others
making their escape, and as soon as lodged
in the calaboose attempted to burn il. This
aroused the ire Of the ueOple TO an extent
that the vigilance committee, which had
previously been formed for the protection
of the town, was o"Ilcd together at the City
Hall, and as Il result of their deliberations
the two men who had been so boisterous
were quietly taken beyond the city limits,
undressed, tarred, rolled them in the dust,
and then turned them loose with the re-
quest to skedaddle and not return, or they
might fare worse next time. They skedad-

There is but little abatement OF the yell
low fever plague in the South. The con-

North continue to flow in freely, and the
Philadelphia Saturday EeeRing Post very
justly remarks; "The noble response of
the North, East and West to the appeals
of the fever.stricken South, is an import
mt event in the annals of our country.
