give 81 900 Immediately, and half Of his
income for the next Eve years, to assist the
eolored refugees. And ZAcK CHANDLER,

as laborers upon 1t. Other philanthropisis

Fuller Particulars or the swlndler.


In 'hc article published in last weeks
JouRS&L under the healing Of "Plcad the
Baby Act" fnll and clear statement Of
the transaction was not given. The follow
ing are tho facts as related by one fully con.
versant with them.
Edmund Inmnn Carr, son Of Joshua
Carr, loaned money to Evers for the sup
port of the latter while attending school
and took his note therefor. The note was
lost, aud when Carr, after the close Of The
war, demanded payment, Evers set up that
his father, who died before that time, had
paid the debt previous to the war, vet the
evidence showed that Evers himself paid
some Sl5 or $50 Of II while in the army,
acquiring that bravery which enabled him
to deny the claim and plead payment and
the statute Of limitations. .
The amount being under $500 Carr
brought action before Esq. Colt of Bowling
Green and recovered judgment. Evers
appealed the case to Common Pleas and
then fled an answer pleading payment,
and the statute of limitations. He had
not, however, obtained courage sufficient to
verify his answer by swearing that he even
believed the debt had been paid The pros
pect Of an enforced journey to Columbus
was not pleasant to him. His vanity,
doubtless, led him to believe that the un-
supported word OF such an exceedingly i'm.
portant parsonage as himself, was sufficient
TO control the nc ion and judgement of the
court. The result proved that he had
simply inflated himself, MS this court like
the preceding one, gave judgment against
niuI.
Sill determined to defeat Carr, II posi-
bic, in the collection of his Just dnes, he
took the case, on error, to the District Court
and that tribunal, unhesitatingly. affirmed
the judgment of the Common Pleas.
Athonght or two present themselves here
Evers' father being dead and the note lost
he undoubtedly thought that with these
two facts he could create enough doubt and
uncertainty to enable him to escape from
the payment of Just debt.
In going through these three courts, there
were no settings aside of verdicts and re-
versdl of judgements, because the nt tempted
fraud was al evident that the stern fat of
Justice could not he arrested.
Yet this creature, standing in this unen.
viable light before the public presumes to
call In question the integrity of others,
and those others sustained uniformly bv
the courts the rulings in the District
Court having been made without objection
from defendants.
How much the malignant attacks nf Ev-
ers through the Sentinel may have infenccd
verdicts cannot he known but that he, in
the hlackness of his heart, prostituted his
paper to this end and to injure in business,
admits of no doubt. The object of his NAL
ice, did not lay n straw in his way until
after having been repeatedly and wnntonly
abused beyond endurance. And whv
abused? Because he conld not he used,
and held in supreme contempt the igno-
rant, supercilions and braggart upstart Of
the Sentinel He has been an nnmittigated
curse TO the county and to the Republican
party. n

Toledo Commercial: The Commissioner
of pensions has signed the first one hundred
arrears Of pension certificates, representing
SS5, 1858. II is stated that these certif-
Gates will not exceed one hundeed per day
until provision be made for the payment
Of a greater nunber, aud the claims are
to be taken up and settled in iair proper

the settlement OF claim the lensioner
will be notified, and proIaNly paid without
waiting for the quarter day. No "specials"
will be made, aud the pension office will
not answer inquiries in relation TO claims
for arrears, ms such correspondence will only
tend TO delay instead Of haSIening the set.

THE SPECIAL DITCH LAW.


EDIToR JOURNAL .Afhc advocates Of
our special ditch law (sec Old Taxpayer
in last weeks Sentinel --among others) are
vaiuly trying to keep up the impression
that said laws are really wanted by the
mass Of the people; that they promote the
public welfare; that they save large sums
OF money to taxpayers in the drainage Of
their lands, &c, &c. Nothing can he more
ipconsisiant than this kind Of talk, when
we consider the nature Of these laws aud
the proceedings Of those who act under
them. 49,
II the authors OF onr special ditch laws
really have the public interest at heart
why is Il that said laws nre framed in such
a manner ms to deprive the great majority
Of the people--as much as possible-of n
voice in Tie matter OF locating and estab-
fishing bitches throughout the county,
In the first place now many petitioners
does IL take for a ditch, the construction Of
which may cost $4,000 or $4,000, and
which may involve hundreds OF land own.
ers-who have no need whatever OF said
pretended mprovement-into ruinous ox-
penses7 I'd, why is il that the special law
dispenses with Notices served, by petition
ers, on all resident landowners interested
in any ditch improvement? All is done
now by publication in some newspaper OF
general circulation, &c. 81, why is it that
parties, through whose lands bitches e1-
tend, forfeit their claims to damages done,
or compensation for land appropriated If
said claims are not filed on or before the
day set for hearing petition? Why is il
,hat ,sorL m ditnhss ~"dos tiIo EpeciaI law
Is sold in half mile sections, &c., instead OF
being apportioned equitably among the
parties interested7 Although the law pre-
scribes the empty formality Of hearing ex-
ceptions to apportionments, what does it
amount to7 1t is completely optional with
our Commissioners to alter or confirm just
as they see it-even the ordering of a com.
optional with the Commissioners that
aggrieved parties. in most cases, have no
other remedy but to appeal from the decis-
ion of said Commissioners to the Courts.
Every new feature of our special ditch law
tends TO still further restrict the rights of
the people on the subject Of bitches. (See
the bill before our Legislature -prouiding
for The manner in ,chich County Commissioners
shall locate ditehcs in ceTtC in Counties and that
If they see iii may eJtend ditch beyond the hm-
its asked for in the petition for such ditch
1t is understood tha' our Commissioners,
in establishing ditch 264,ordered some IA or
| 5 miles more ditch than the petition called
for. This they had no authority to do ac-
cording to the law under which they were
acting. Hence the reason for the bill now
before the legislature.
No wonder people have become disgusted
with our special ditch laws which invest
County Com missioners with powers not war
ranted by the constitution Of the State Of
