Of The creditors is now before the

In the Union and eight years war
In the State. BY one false step in
1871 we overthrow our primal
principles Of government and since
that disorder has strewn the COM
monwealth with wreck and rain.
The State is slave and has to
bail water or drown. BY absolute
operation of law the bondholders is
doing what the State herself cans
not do-taking the school funds and
putting them into his pocket. To
the shame of tho State be it said
more appropriately she is indi-
rertly taking the school money
Of the State to pay her debt.
Over this grave state Of affairs the
oaiile bus at last closed. The
bondioldcr feels his advantage and

extracting from his pocket very large

he brought it to the front, he blew his

Fire at Chardon.


From an extra issued from the Office of
the Chardon Republican We learn that an
attempt to burn that village was made on
the night of Monday last. The fire was
first discovered in an. upper floor Of a
building occupied by R. P, Parsons and
D. f. Avery as a wagon and paint shop,
but was discovered and extinguishd before
it had gained much headway,. A quantity
of hay and rags were found where the fire
originated. s-.- --.
No sooner had the excitement subsidized
before second alarm was sounded, caused
by the discovery of fire in the barn of
the Chardon House. The flames had
gained good headway and spread to barn
owned by J. o. Converse, editor Of the
Republican, then to the hotel building, all
Of which were burned to the ground. 9th
er buildings in the immediate vicinity were
in great danger and it was only by the
hard work of the citizens and fircmen that
a general confagration was averted.
In the hotel barn were consumed eight
horses, three COWS, three pigs and two
calves. The loss on hotel property is es-
timated at $4,000, insured $500; J. O..
Converse, barn, insured for $3.50 in the
Weslchester; other losses were not known
at this writing. The Republican extra
says:
The circumstances leave no doubt in the
minds OF our citizens that both fires were
the work fan incendiary, or incendiaries,
who intended to burn or rob the town, and
vigllant watch will be kept for sall sus-
pieious characters ..'-,-''

That APPROPRIATION. - The Item of
appropriation for Ashtabula Harbor is not
well defined as We 60 10 press. Our usual
sources OF information are mule and barren
on the fate Of the River and HarbUr bill.
1t has not emerged from the confusion of
the last hours OF the session. Its history
up to this time is about thus-it passed the
House, standing $4,000. In Senate the
amount was doubled up to $4,000. and
IeOnsidable additions made to the bill. 1t
was then sent back to the House for con-
cuTence. The dispatches tell us that the
appropriations were cnt down, but whether
each individually, ur by some graduation
we are not told. But in the,shape the cut
ting down process left it-whatever that
was-we are left TO the conjecture that it
passed, rs we are unable to find anything
of its return to the Senate again. We are,
therefore, left suspended like Mohammet's
cnfin-in understandable to find out what
our fate has been. Perhaps in the course
Of another week something will turn up,
and we may be able to learn whether wsare
10 have 50, 600 or $4,000, or some other
sum.

Young st. Johns Death.

A correspondent of the Sentinel from
Rock Greek, under date of March Sd gives
the following particulars of C. E. St. Johns
death, which was announced in last weeks
TELEGRAPH:
In view of the fact that some false re-
ports have been circulated with regard to
the death of Clarence E. st. John, who was
shot and almost instantly killed at Evart,
Michigan, on Tuesday afternoon, February
25th; we submit the following, which we
have from the very best authority, and
which are the facts. ---s - . 8
On February 25th, young ST. John, in
company with three companions on their
way from the pineries at Big Rapids,
stopped at Evart, Michigan, and registered
at McCOllum's Hotel. There were in the
office Of the hotel at the time, beside the
landlord, two guests, and also young man
by the name of Charles Irving, sort of
hang-about, who succeeded in Immediately
insinnatlng himself into the favor of young
st. John. Both were laughing and joking
and after while went into the wash room
together. Shortly afterward both returned
to tie office again, and Irving taking St.
John by the coat sleeve and saying. ''COme
in here, | want to see you minute" pulled
him into the baggage room and closed the
door. A thin board partition separated
the wash-room from the office and any
unusual noise or loud conversation could
be distinctly heard outside. Nothing of
the kind was heard by those in the Office,
but they were startled by the sharp report
of a pistol in the baggage room, and rush
ing to the door they were met by St. John,
who exclaimed 80, God, I'm shot," and
fell forward into their arms unconscious,
dying in about twenty minutes afterward.
As Irving came out the landlord said to
him 'EMy God, Irving. what have you
done" and he replied. 81 will not allow
any id son a b--h to draw knife on
me-, at the same time claiming that he had
shot St. John in self-defense. No weapons
of any kind were found upon St. John, not
even the small pen-knife which he usually
carried. On the fore-fnger of Irving's
right hand was deep cut which he claimed
was done by St. John, but III his own pock-
ct was found knife with blood upon the
blade which exactly corresponded with the
cash upon his finger. No motive can be
assigned for the murder, except that OF rob-
berry, as neither of them were intoxicated
or mad had any previous trouble. St. John
and his companions had been paid of only
the day before and he should have. had
quite sum of money, but after he was
shot only 45 cents was found upon his per-
son. Irving was Immediately arrested and
his preliminary examinationwas in progress
at the time our informant left Evart. The
result we have not yet been able to learn.
