CINCINNATI, December lS.-At the
meeting of the Board of Revision to-
day a report was read by Richard Zeid-
Ter, the expert who had been employed
to examine the books of the late Mayor
Johnston. He reported that he had
found upon the face OF the
books a deficit of little over

the books and some Of the books were
missing. J. W. Hanson, who was the
private Secretary OF Mayor Johnston
during the latter part OF his first term
and all OF the last term, was present, and
admitted that he had made erasures in
order TO make his books balance with
his deposits, and said Mayor Johnston
took money whenever he wanted il and
failed to return it, and that he ordered
him .HansOnl 10 make the erasures.
The board has directed a full investigs-
ton. Mayor Johnston being dead MS
bondsmen will be called on TO make up

ENGLAND
Free Trade Demonstration.


= LONDON, December lS.-A great dem
onstratian in favor of free trade was
made at Rochdale ttO-night. John
Bright and Thos. Bayley Potter were
present. A resolution was passed thank
ing Potter for his efforts and those OF
the free traders in the United States, to
promote free trade with America. Pot
ter made a speech, in which he said he
reciprocated the kindly sentiments ex-
pressed by the Americans towards Eng
lishmen at many gatherings which he
attended in America. He paid high
compliment to the sObriety and frater-
nal behavior of the Americans, and con-
cluded by presenting to Bright num-
Der Of cOngratulatOry letters from the
chief American cities in which the hope
was expressed that Bright would see
America before he died.
Mr.. Bright, in reply, said he could not
adequately express his thanks for these
letters. He had received hundreds Of
invitations TO visit the United States,
including one from President Hayes to
stay at the White House as long as he
liked, but he was obliged to decline all
of them. He hoped his friends in the
United States would believe that he
fully appreciated their kindness, but he
feared there was little chance OF his ac-
cepting their generous invitations. Mr..
Bright then proceeded to descant on the
vastness OF the United States as COM
pared with European countries, and
concluded by saying that he believed
there was no country with whom all
other countries were more friendly than
with the United States.

4 telegram from Pennington mem
tons thePrevalence OF great indignation
there.
The Mayor and Aldermen OF Rock
land adopted resolution tonight con-
demning tine action OF the Governor and
Council
AUGUSTA, ME., December 1S.--It is
now stated that Skowhegan was counted
out with great reluctance by the Gov
ernor and Council, and only as a last
resource, in order to make sure of a
quorum Of Fusionists IN the House.
This view is cOrrobOrated by a letter
addressed only last week by Hon.
f. G.. Parker to Mr.. Steward, the
Republican elect from Skowhegan. At
that time it appears that it had not
been determined to count Skowheean
out. The Republican State Committee
will meet here the early part of next
week. The call for an indignation
meeting, tomorrow night, has been
signed by the best citizens. HallOwell
will hold an indignation meeting, Satur-
dav. The Governor and council have
been engaged on the county returns.
