We were in profound ignorance of how
it all came about that the State was re-
districted, at the late session of the Dem
ocratic Legislature of this State; but, on
reading the official proceedings of the
Democratic Convention, held in this place,
on the 18th of June, the mystery is ex-
planned to us as clear as mud. It is in the
following preamble and resolution, Of
fered by G. Thompson, of Marion town
ship, and adopted by the Convention:
WHEREAS, Fayette county has hereto
fore been in Republican district, and
WHEREAS, By the efforts of Isaac Glaze
it was, at the last redistricting of the
State, incorporated into Democratic dis
trict, therefore,
ResoIUed, That the thanks of the Demo
Gratis of Fayette are due Isaac Glaze fol
efforts in effecting the change.
We were satisfied that there was mas
ter mind at the bottom of this deviltry
but we could not identify the evil genius
until the thing was explained. Surely
the Sergeant-at-Arms in our Democratic
Legislature is a tower of strength.
Mr.. Glaze made one mistake, in thai
he should, when he made up the 9th dis
trict, have put Clinton instead of Picka.
way county in the district.

Democratic Treasurer of stark County
AbscOmds viii $4,000.
CANTOx O. June 27

CANTON, u, y unG 81
The city is a scene of great excitement
over the alleged defalcation and flight of
George FessIer, Democratic Treasurer of
Stark county. The facts in the case are
in substance as follows: The first sus-
picions were aroused by the fact that the
time lock of the money chest failed to
lock as usual at 3 O'Clock on Monday even
ing. Deputy Treasurer Robbers stepped
into the hall upon making this discovery
and told one of the County Commissioners
whom he met of the condition of affairs,
and added that he did not like the appear
once which things were taking on. Fess-
Ter had been then gone since Saturday.
The Commissioner and deputy fastened
to the safe, and found that while they
had been talking the lock had done its du-
ty, and thus shut off all access to the funds
for that night. The following evening
the deputy, after going over carefully the
Treasurer's book, and counting the money
on hand, made report that there was a
deficiency in the June collections of over
$35 600. This report spread like wildfre,
and the further it went the more eXagger-
ated it became, until some said that he had
taken as high as $3.50, 900. The Commits
sioners Immediately took possession of the
Office, and issued a circular giving a de-
scription of Fessler, and offering a reward
of 81 900 for his arrest. This, of course,
started the detectives, who are now on his
track.
| This is now thought to be Fessler's sec
ond job. Some months since large de-
| felt was discovered, but it was hushed up,
| Fessler turning over his entire property
to his bondsmen. He is known to have
| left the city on the 6 30 p. m. train Satur-
! day. At Crestline he got of, and moth
/ ing further is known of him, no one be-
| ing able thus far to discover which way
he went. He has held the office of Treas
urer for two terms.
Prior to his election he bore an excel
lent reputation, but of late his company
is said to have been very low and dissi.
| pated, and his friends excuse his crime
by this, and attribute it to them. Last
year he was q prominent Democratic can.
didate for State Treasurer.
| Later investigations showed that the
Deputy had made far too low an estimate
of the loss. 1t will, all told, amount Il
not less than $65, 900, considerable por
ton of this being in worthless paper, etc
1t is certain that if he is not returned will
a large part of the money, his bondsmer
will be driven to the wall and probably
ruined. The Democratic brethren ar,
very much depressed over the affair, ,whilt
the Republicans say that it will be tn
means of carrying the county for theil
party this fall.

BEoTHER KERR, of the Register, in his
last issue says:
1--WE would be pleased to have Mr.; Milhkan 1 ten
what he candidly and honestly thinks 3L 1I Hfn,
Grosyenor. who was the moving ana CONTINUING
spirit of the Cincinnati Convention; he, who not
only forced the endorsement of Hayes put oletaTea
us know what you think of the General
Well, we were not aware that any per-
son had the right to demand of us what
we think of General Grosvenor! But, in
the first place, we deny that GrosvenOr
was the controlling spirit of the Cincin-
natl Convention, that he secured the en-
dOrsement of Hayes, or that he dictated
the candidates to be placed upon the tick
ct. And now, while we recognize no right
in Mr.. Kerr to ask of US what our opinion
of GrosvenOr is, we will consent to tell
him, privately, with the injunction that
he will never, no aecer, reveal the secret,
for we confide it to him as a profound Sc
cret.
Our opinion of Grosvenor is that his
habits, his vindictiveness, and the general
cussedness of his nature, Willie they dis
qualify him as leader in the Republican
party do, pre-eminently, qualify him for
conspicuous leader and dictator in the
Democratic party. True, he may lack
some of the modern qualifications for q
leader in Democratic legislative body
he never was a deserter from the Union
army; he never was bounty y-jumper
and he is not an ex-convict of the Mich
| igan or any other Penitentiary.
Now, Bro. Kerr, we have told you, con
fdentially and privately, what we thinl
of Grosvenor; with the injunction, how
ever, that you keep it a profound secret
But, as questions are in order, we wouIC
like to haYe Mr.. Kerr tell US what he can
didly thinks of John O'Connor, the de
serter, bounty-jumper and ex-Peniten
tiary convict,-the Democratic Chairman
of the committee on Military Affairs an
the Chairman of the committee on tn
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
the man who dictated the amendment t
the law establishing the Orphans Home
and denied the orphans of soldiers an
Sailors the benefit of the Home until al
ter they were u years of age, and re
quired their poor mothers, who mi yht b
receiving pensions to pay the same owe
to the trustees or directors of the Institu
ton. Tell, us brother Kerr, what yo
think of such legislators as this. Come
now, no evasion or prevarication. Ou
with it.

Democrats are always against banks
in their platforms. Some years ago they
had county convention in this city which
resolved furiously against national banks,
and at the same time the President of a
national bank presided over their deliber-
ations. On Wednesday the Democratic
State Convention resolved as usual against
national banks, and then nominated a ma
tional bank man for position on the Su-
preme Bench. What do Democrats care
about consistency Gin. Gazette.

THE way to lessen the purchasing val
ue of the greenback currency is to adopt
the Democratic policy of breaking down
all the National banks, and initiate the
currency with billions of greenbacks.-
When greenbacks were first issued the
Democrats denounced them as a fraud,
and boldly declared, that after while
they would be as valueless as the old Con-
tinental money; and, if their policy of
imitation is to be carried out, their proph-
Isles may become true. The future value
of the National currency depends upon
the continuance in power of the Repub-
hcan party. 1t will not do to trust the
Democratic party with the finances or the
financial policy Of this county

THERE is great need of a moral reform
in Congress, if it be true as reported, that
there was more drunkenness and riotous
conduct in the capitol among members of
Congress, on thelast night of the session,
than there has been for many years. It
is, probably, because the majority of the
members are opposed to s,smptuary re-
straints, especially restraining the right
to drink as much whiskey as would rem
der member of Congress as independ-
snt as hog on ice, A little missionary
work is needed at the Capitol.

IF less whisky and tobacco were used
there would be more money with which

that all the destitution in this country is
the result of Republican rule.

Our Democrotic friends are beginning
to discuss the question of nominee for
Congress in this district. Until we saw
an article in last weeks Register, we had
supposed that Hon. G.. L. Converse, of

inee; but, it seems, he is to have form
idable and able competitor in the person
of our fellow citizen, OF: Cunning, Esq,
and the fact that Mr.. Cunning will be a
candidate for nomination will, in all prob
ability, induce Mr.. Converse to abandon
his notion Of Congressional honors and
yield the field to Mr.. G.

THE Waverly Watchman, Democratic
paper, says that Hon. Arch. Mayo, of
Chillicothe, win not be candidate for
Congress. In the exact words of the
Watchn'Gn, ''Mr. Mayo has no aspirations
in that direction-preferring to lead vir-
tuous, honorable life"
The Inference in this paragraph is, that
a man can't lead virtuous, h onorabie life
and be Democratic candidate for Con
gress. We have had suspicion for some
time that virtue and honesty are charac-
teristics wholly inconsistent with the
Democratic candidacy for Congress, but
now we have it affirmed by Democratic
authority.
