CASES CASE VS.. sLAUGnrERBEcK

ED. JoURNAL:-The reply Of Auditor
Case to Mr.. Slaughterbeck, in your paper
Of last week, shows internn al evidence Of
having been very carefully prepared, TO
meet the question Of how not 10 say il.
1t was prepared, no doubt, by more than
one person, forthough the personal pronoun
|, is used generally, land often enough
Mr.. Case says zoe believe the letter OF
Mr.. Saughterbeck was written in bowling
Green, and now say we believe the letter
OF Mr.. Case was prepared in the Sentinel
office.
The most serious charge made by Mr.
Slaughterbeck against Mr.. Case is not de-
MED. Mr. Case says he has assisted scores
Of contractors to find sale for the bonds
that he has done all he could to enhance
their value, that he has nercr dealt in them as
matter of profit 10 himself; and he implies
that he has raised the value OF the bonds
from IS to 95 cts. on the dollar.
Would 1t be improper to ask the Auditor
for whose profit it was, that he has dealt
in those bonds if it was not for his own
His language implies that he dealt in
those bonds and to profit, but not to his
own profit. To whose profit then?
Would it not be more honorable in Mr.
Case to invest portion of his $4,000 Of
annual salary in the fair and legitimate
purchase Of the bonds of the county at
their lawful price, than to spend the time
which lie has contracted to give to the du.
ties OF his Office, in bargaining for the bonds
OF the county with the money OF some
wealthy man who pays him, us lie says
nothing for his services.
Mr.. Case will not say, that one or more
of his deputies, or clerks, is not now enga.
ged in buying bonds with money furnished
by capitalists from abroad.
Does he think it is just the thing to
furnish lights and fuel, aud Office room to
a bond broker at the expense of the county /?
1t seems almost unkind to prick the bubble
OF Mr.. Cases egotism in the matter of the
appreciation of the price of the bonds, but,
to use his own language, ain the interest of
fairness" it must be stated that a banker
in Bowling Green claims all the credit for
that rise in price of county bonds. However,
It Is possible that the banker wrote that
part of Mr.. Cases letter. The fact is, how
ever, that the bonds appreciated with the
appreciation OF other paper of such charac-
ter. Mr.. Case knows very well that the
reason why the bonds under our special
ditch law sell better, and at higher price
than the Improved Road bonds, is found
in the fact that they are payable out of any
moneys in the county treasury, while the
Road bonds are payable from the fund of
the particular road, and il there ia no
money in that fund the bond is not paid
This state of facts and not any sharp
brokerage for the profits of Others is what
has raised the price of the bonds to 95 cts
on the dollar
Do you think Mr.. Editor, it is improper
to suggest to Mr.. Case. to publish all the
facts in the case OF Slaughterbeck, and in
reference to his dealing in the bonds for
the profit of Others, and not for himself,
and let the people Judge about the charac-
ter of the business?
Wonder if he would do that?

RAILROAD STATISTICS.

II is ascertained from Mr.. Joseph MINI

according to the official returns made to
the bureau, the number of passengers who
arrived in the United States during the
calendar year of 1877 and 1873, was as
follows: Passengers not immigrants, yeaI
ending December 81, 1877, 59,S5S; immi.

not immigrants, year ended December 81

number of those coming to this country
for settlement, amounting to 22,704.

The Perrysburg Journal appears to think
its mission is to abuse its best friends
Those in Perrysburg who have contributed
most to its support have been objects OF
special abuse at its hand. In the Church
trouble il deserted its friends and support.
ers, to become the organ of little faction,
and OF the same character is its attack upon
the Auditor and County Commissioners. II
the journal had two valuable friends in
this County, these friends were Auditor
Case and Commissioner Pierce.-Sentinel.
The persistency with which few GER
tain persons have striven to drag outsiders
into this Church trouble and force them
to take sides in the quarrel that they
claimed to have no interest, further than
tho ~elf"Ie, p1"vv and hoppiuvss of the
community, may be mystery to some. II
forced to the test we might explain to the
satisfaction OF the public and clear up the
mystery; but we have persistently main
tanned that it was question to be settled
by the Presbytery and the members of the
church. We have distinct recollections
that the same question, but in different
form, was up for discussion about six years
ago, and those who are anxious now to in
volve the press in the quarrel were just as
anxious then TO have the press refuse to
open its columns for the discussion. Then
as now we refused to open the col
umns ior the discussion and was wait
ed upon by a deputation of "stalwarts'
and threatened with an opposition paper
for such decision. Threats Of this kind
always had a reverse effect with us, and the
columns were not opened.
With EvERs at its head the Sentinel has
ever been ready tool for anything that
would create division and stir up strife in
this village. A gentleman at Tontogany
who is friend of that paper, remarked in
our presence last Fall that he had been sur
prised to see EvERs admit to his columns
such low, dirty filings as appeared against
some of our best citizens within the year
past, knowing the parties and circumstances
us he did.
As to Auditor CASE and Commissioner
PIERCE, we are not conscious OF having
abused them. We object to their doing
acts in violation of law, to the injury of
the people who elected them. We object
to their paying S3,O37.50 Of the peoples
money to banking firm to transact their
own business, when said firm would no
doubt have been glad to have taken the
bonds in such large amounts for the 7 per
cent. interest. We object to their paying
two dollars Of the peoples money for work
they can get done just as well for one dol
lar. We object to their 50 complicating
themselves and their official POSITIONS that
they cannot consult the interests of the peo-
pie at large, because Of their compact To
advance the interests of individuals. We
object to The Auditors Office being made a
shop for the brokerage OF the bonds of the
county.
This is the "head and front of our offend.
ing" We hope the Sentinel will be able to
endure his visitation. Ills hard we know.

Gen. SIEGEL leclured at Burlington, lows
and the Gazeite of that city gives the fol.
lowing sketch of il:
As to the present position OF the Ger
mans aS national element, he said that
they had contributed much to the material
prosperity and welfare Of this country, and
that they could be found everywhere, from
the Atlantic TO the Poetic, and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf. As to their fu-
ture, it seemed as If they would consoli-
date in the different States where they have
settled in great numbers, and that so it
seemed to be with other nntionalities that
by the natural force of attraction similar
elements would reinforce those already ex-
iSting-that they would form as il were
States within States; but this tendency
was by far overbalanced by the elements of
union, working slowly but steadily and
surely towards the nnifcation of the Amer
lean people. These elements were espec-
tally one government, one constitution, the
facility of migration Offered by the great
lines OF railroads; furthermore the English
language which has been adopted as "a uni
versal medium for all. and the further fact
that the sentiment OF union with our peo-
pie is so great that il 0verbalances all other
considerations. We may therefore say that
his country will present in the future, ut
least as far AZ we could see, one country of
countries, one nation OF nations, one peo.
pie Of peoples, one State of States, aud one
language but hundred tongues.
The lecture was not merely eloquent but
beautiful in the excellence Of its language
Ii gave 80 much pleasure that our German
people are lready speaking of bringing

from present indications the consumers are
