The Commercial says: The broil in the
Board Of Police Commissioners is just now
occupying a conspicuous place in the local
issues of the day, raising quasi political,
personal and judicial problems of no easy
solution. The whole trouble seems to have
arisen since the summary removal of
Hogan, and in the difficulty of agreeing
upon his successor in the Board. Colonel
Weber charges that two Of his associates,
Messrs. Dorsch and Sutton, for purposes
antagonistic to the public welfare, are
struggling TO get in the wrong man, and
that they have confederated with the
Governor of the State to effect this
object by instituting trivial and false
charges against him, as the basis of petl-
ton for his removal. To defeat them in
this movement he has applied for an in
junction. The latest phase of the case is
the Joint answer of the two Commissioners,
claiming that the charges are neither false
nor fictitious or made for political or per-
sonal ends, and denying that they entered
into conspiracy with the Governor to
bring about the removal of Colonel Weber.
The issues are squarely made. The case
| comes into Court, and conflict between
the Executive and judiciary de-
partments of the State is immnent.-
The Commercial taunts Hon. ID. W. Voor-
hees, of Indiana with having been aSouth-
ern sympathizer during the war, and pub
lisnes the names OF eighteen persons who
certify to having heard him use the follow
ing language, August 9th, 1862, at
sullivan, Indiana: The Hon. b. W.
Voorhees, said, speaking in reference
to the Union so.diers that they
should 60 to the nearest blacksmith shop
and have an iron collar made and placed
around their necks, inscribed thereon in
large letters, "My dog-Abe Lincoln;' and
at the same time lie referred to Union sol
diers as Lincoln dogs and hrelings.
The Enquirer says: Blaine goes to Meigs
County tomorrow Mr.. Blaine is the
petrol bird to tine Ohio Republicans, and
appears wherever they have storms. They
are enjoying good deal of dissatisfaction
up in Meigs County over their nomination
for the Legislature, and naturally enough
they send for Blaine, as being friend OF
the family, to settle up the unpleasant
ness.
The Gazette says with reference to dis
patch received yesterday by Mr. Danie
Weber from Governor Bishop, postponins
his trial on the charges brought against
MIN DN tlle UWo DeInOCTdtlC CplHlHlSsluHeIs
of Police that decision to postpone in def
erence to Judge Smith was very kind il
Governor Bishop. If he had refused there
might have been trouble There certainly
would have been fun. Upon re
Election fair,minded people will dis
cover that there is much in this case thai
requires overhanling IN a court of justice
and it will be found that there is a law
greater and safer and more just than the
will of Gov. Bishop. That the charge
, against Col. Weber can be shown to be lie
in any court of justice in Cincinnati, We
have not the shadow of doubt; and it il
our opinion, too, that it could also bt
shown at those who made it knew it tt
be lie. Let there be fair trial.-We trus
that all Republicans realize the import
ance of carrying the Legislature. With
out that the Republican victory would no
be decisive. Not to redeem the Legislat turt
from such a flock of Harpies as abused it
powers in the last two years would be ads
grace. TO let another Democrat be elected
, to the United States Senate from Ohi'
would be q heavy modification and woult
be dscouraging to Republicans all over tn
Nation.
