REFoRMER Ross Alexander, who
was one Of the bondsmen of the late
Jas. Irwin, has presented petition
from 8 few of The personal friends and
creditors of the deceased ex-Treasurer
in this county tothe General Assembly
asking that his estate be reimbursed
in the sum of,over $1,000, the amount
of deficiency, in his accounts as found
bya Belmont County Jury with all the
facts before them, and costs by him ex
pended. II the Treasury of the State,
Is so plethoric as to admit of drafts
upon it to relieve all the deficiencies of
Ohio Democratic Treasurers, OF course
there is no good reason why COM
mencement should not be made in
Belmont. In the meantime however,
as Mr.. Irwin was the chosen agent of
the people Of Belmont County and the
judgment collected went into the
County Treasury and not of the State
at large. We suggest that it is unjust
TO saddle a tax upon the entire State
for relief. If two Belmont County
Juries, which the ex-Treasurer had an
equal hand in selecting, were unjust,
let Belmont County be taxed to refund
fi,e money, exacted nom James Irwin.
Let q Democratic Legislature led by a
Democratic bondsman, and attorney of

of Belmont County, money to replace

THE Washington correspondent oi
the Cincinnati Gazette critieises the
Democratic championship of the bill
to grant pensions to all soldiers who
served sixty days in the Mexican war,
and says that it is singular commen'
tary that a Democratic Congress, which
makes such loud pretenses to retrench'
ment and reform, should, on the same
day that the Secretary of the Treasury
announced a probable deficit for the
current fiscal year, present a bill pro-
posing, without cause, to take loo mil
lions of dollars from the Treasury.
This bill conclusively shows the hOl-
loWness of the Democratic pretenses oil
reform. The bill grants pensions to
men who are in the vigor of manhood
and in easy circumstances, including
the Doorkeeper and some other men,
ber5 of the House, some Senators, Gen.
Sherman, Gen. Grant, Jefferson Da-
Wis, and many who, although educated
at the expense of the government, be-
trayed it. Beside this, the bill prOpo'
ses to pension soldiers and volunteers
who served in the army organization,
thirty daysin the Black Hawk, Creek,
Seminole, and Florida wars. All of
these soldiers have received bounty
land warrants, and been paid every
dollar the government promised them,
while the soldiers of 1861 are the only
ones who never have had land war
rants. The proposed measure is en-
tirely without precedent. The gov
ernment has never granted gratuitOus
pensio s to any soldiers of the Indian
war. Lg-..s -at
The average age of the soldiers pro.
posed to be benefited by the bill pre-
sented by the Democrats, is only fifty
six. The number of survivors of the
Mexican war is 5000, and of the In
dian wars, 1900. These, with their
widows, according to the regular esti'
mates, make 75,0 900 pensioners, which
would cost from $4,000 to $1,000,
600 annually, and an aggregate of from
$1OO, 600, 900 to $150,000,000.

BAYARD TAYLOR has been nomina-
ted 10 the position of American Minis
ter to Germany. He Is a linguist, a
scholar, traveller, poet, and u writer
of worldwide fame, and the appoint
ment in our humble judgment, is one
of the very best that could have been
made. If he succeeds as well As a
|diplomatist as he has in the world of

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The

$1,000 and is handed s65. Good thing
to live at the government expense,

if Congress were Republican and Door

nounces the prosecution OF the Louisi'

language: ''The President has been

able, persuasive. Do they forget his
record? He is a radical aud fighting
man, and if he finds all efforts to help
the national sentiment, that he has so
scrupulously tried, unavailing, his
policy will not lack energy, and he
can appeal to the country in the elec'
tion Of the next Congress with a. fire
that would sweep the States. Weap'
proach the parting of the ways"

The Howl of the Iron Men.

Half our furnaces are out of blast,
half our rolling mills are idle, and on
ly half our workingmen, skilled in the
manufacture Of iron, can find employ
ment. Mr.. Woods bill proposes to
take away the little there is left fol-
them to do, close up every furnace
and stop every rolling mill, so that
England shall again become the mas.
ter of our iron markets. The Ameri
can Iron and Steel Association protest
but reason and common sense weigh
very little with the present Congress.

Good Times Coming.

Among the money and finance
schemes in Congress in various stages
of CESSATION in bills under deliberation
by the houses, in bills framed by COM
mittees, and in bills in process of form
alton by the silver greenback league
and the subdivisions of that league, are
the following: To make a silver dollar
full legal tender for public and private
debts and dues, and to give all holders
of bullion and foreign coin the privi-
lege of having it coined to legal tender
dollars for their own account. To re-
peal the resumption act for all time.
To abolish the bank circulation, and to
issue greenbacks in their stead. To
issue more greenbacks from time to
time to keep up good times. To make
greenbacks receivable for customs, and
payable for the public debt. To make
a complete revision OF the tariff. To
nearly extinguish the army. And
these are not all the measures OF
healthy agitation that are brewing
in this Congress. And as to all the
money measures, there seems to be a
general recognition that they all be-
long together, and that the silver dol
lar means an imitation of irredeemable
legal tender notes. How could coun-
try help prospering under such lively
craftsmanship? When We have gotten
all these, our prosperity will go upward
with phiz like rocket. Let all pre-
pare their minds for present riches to
come into their pockets without earn
ing! And all the "debtor class" await
the good time soon coming when debts
shall pay themselves!-Cin. Gazette.

A Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Gazette of Tuesday says that
news comes from New Orleans that
Republicans there are quite confident
that If the Supreme Court declines to
grant Anderson a new trial, Gov.
Nichols will pardon him, and that the
State Senate will confirm the pardon.
Under the Constitution of Louisiana,
pardons for felonies require the con-
firmation of the Senate. 1t IL said that
six democratic Senators are necessary
to sustain the Governor in such a
measure, and that eight have already
indicated a willingness to approve OF
the pardon. 1t also appears that a
secret pledge was given by high off,
cials OF the Nichols government that
there should be no proceedings taken
against the Returning Board.
