Ohio Republicans may congratulate
themselves that the Democracy do not re-
gard the prudent advice of the shrewd
Lincoln-never to swop horses while cross
ing stream, as has been done in the sum-
mary removal of Jongee Thompson from
the Craftsmanship of the Democratic State
Central committee. Thompson, as dispens-
er Of official pap in the House of Represen-
tatives, groom and hacker Of Thurman,
and the head of the Ohio Democracy, was
a man Of mark and influence. He under
took too much, and his arbitrary course in
reference to Bishops nomination lost him
the support of the successful candidate.
It does not appear that Ewing's man is an
able successor Of the deposed Thompson,
but it is certain that Thompson will not
endure with meekness the slight which has
been put upon him. If he closes up the
widening breeches in the Ohio Democratic
Party, he is better man than he is gener-
ally reported to be.

Whitelaw Reid in his paper before
the junketing Ohio printers and editors,
which every body has heard of, pays his
respects to Independent Journalism, y
and as we have $50 styled independent
sheet at our doors, it may be well enough
to copy the little paragraph for its benefit,
and the edifcstion Of its supporters;
"Of all the puerile fallacies that have
masqueraded before High Heaven in the
guise Of Reform, the most. childish has
been the idea that the editor could Yindi-
cate his independence only by sitting on
the fence and throwing stones with impair
tial vigor alike at friend and foe."
While this is a very well drawn picture
Of the status of Independenee-nutrality-
in newspapers in this world, it might have
been added, that such things nauseate the
stomach of ''High Heaven, and they are
'spewed out Of IT'S mouth"

STAIsuOs-One Of the duties imposed
by statute upon the Coroner is an annual
report Of not only the violent deaths and
inquests held by him in the county, hut
also the number Of cases of homicide, sui
eide, accidental deaths, and the number
Of deaths from unknown causes, and the
number of these superinduced by intem-
perance. It would be a service to the Cor
oner, and through him to the Bureau OF
Statistics, if the Coroner were notified i'm
mediately of the death Of any person under
any Of these forms by any one in the neigh
borbood cOguizsut Of the same.

Senator Thurman's labor and care in en-
gineering the appropriation bills so as to
make an extra session ineYitable, followed
as those labors have been by failure. and
disappointment, have worried the old gen.
tleman into his bed. The mistake he
made in thus leading his party upon revOl-
utionary ground, was in not sufficiently
estimating the grave consequnce involved,
and the power Of the opposition likely to be
stirred up by persistence in the scheme
to defeat the president and compel the ap-
proval of the bills and their riders. The
stroke was heavy one, and should no
light break, or relief come to ease his bur-
dened heart and lift the incubus resting on
him, the campaign may possibly result as
did Greely's and as that Of Douglass, in
hurrying up the fate of so many-the vic
tins of disappointed ambition. What a
pity if some such fate should Overtake his
competitor Of ofgrammercy park.

The New York Times makes rather earn
est complaint against Mayor Cooper, who
was elected by some 6O,OOO citizens to con-
siderable extent without regard to political
or party affiliations. The complaint is
based upon the lack Of energy in the gen
tleman who was elected for the purpose Of
wedding out corruption and incapseity,
and the appointment Of new officers on the
ground Of character and ability.rather than
political biases. By his amability and
want of decision be IS represented to have
suffered himself to be over-ridden, and
thus become to many Of those who elected
him-a disappointment-incspable,by by lack
Of promptness and energy to fill the bill
for which he was elected. The board of
aldermen are a more potent agency than
the Mayor, and he is held in abeyance

the party will be laundering in the slough
