A GREAT amount of the peoples money
in this State is spent every year in legis-
lating to give some township the author
ity to buy hearse and erect hearse-
house. 1t seems to us that this annual
expensive legislation might be avoided
by well-guarded general law, that might
authorize the commissioners of a county,
or the trustees of a township, to confer
this authority upon certain persons for
the township. The people of township
know more about the necessity of such
things than the members of the legisla-
ture do, and the local authorities are
proper persons to apply to for such privi-
leges.

Another Horrible Outrage

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
LANCASTER, o., March 29.--An execra-
BILE outrage was perpctrated last evening
on respectable young lady of this city,
shortly before O'Clock, and while she
was on her way to church. She was at
tackled by two unknown ruffians, strang-
led, gagged and taken into vacant house
and ravished. The deed took place on
one side of our public streets, and has oc-
casioned intense excitement. This after
noon two tramps, answering to the mea-
ger description of the two villains given
by the young victim, were arrested and
lodged in the City Prison, and should it
be the right party ,,therelis no telling what
may happen to them in the hands Of the
populace. The young lady was consid-
erably injured, and lies in state of ner-
vous prostration.

For state Treasurer, Albert p. Whlta.


We announce with pleasure that Nor
gan County Republicans will unanimous
ly present to the State Convention the
name of Albert P. Whitaker, as eandi-
date for State Treasurer. Mr.. Whitaker
is gentleman of untarnished reputation,
was soldier throughout the war, and is
sound Republican. He is a man of ex-
cellent Judgment, strong common sense,
and has always been successful in all his
undertakings. He has served two terms
as Treasurer of Morgan county, and in
the transactions of the business of the Of
fee has evinced that ability that peculi-
arly fits him for the position for which he
is urged. He is thorough gentleman,
and is immensely popular wherever
known. If nominated he cannot fail to
add strength to the ticket, whoever may
be his associate candidates. Though his
candidacy is recent he exhibits unex-
pected strength in various parts of the
State.-Mc COnneLsutJJe Herald

NOTHING would suit Charley Grosvenor
better (under the circumstances than to
have Gen. Garfield nominated for Gov
ernor and Gen. Charles Fl. GrosvenOr
for Lieutenant-Governor and his Repub-
licanism is of such free character that
he would, under such circumstances, do
his level best to secure the election of the
whole Republican ticket, legislature and
all; and then, to carry out Charley's pro-
gramme, the legislature must elect Gar
field to the U. S. Senate. But, would
that give Charley short cut to the Guber-
material chair, or not?

State Republican and Executive Com. RooD1Sl
COLUMBUS, o., March 10, 1873.
By direction of the State Central Com
mittee, the next Republican State Con-
vention will be held in the city of Gin

1879. The Copg gdtion will nominate can

shall be fairly represented in the State
Convention, and that as far as possible,
the County Central Committees be ap-
pointed at the same time that delegates to
the State Convention are chosen, if they
have not been appointed before.
The basis of representation in the Con.

hundred votes cast for Milton Barnes fol
Secretary of State in 1873, and one addi
tional delegate for any fraction of tw,
hundred and fifty votes and upward il
each county.

The whole is engraved in a very hand

Southern Sentiments.

From the Okolona (AGiss.) Southern States, Mar g.
Who was it that said the Yankee yellow
fever fund had reunited our republic in
bonds of brotherly love; that there would
be no more harsh passages at arms be-
tween the North and the South; that the
lion had laid down with the lamb, and all
that kind of fol-de-rol?
Was it the Conservatives?
Yes, we believe-in fact we know it
was the Conservatives, for they are for=
ever saying OF doing something that is
distinguished for its tomfoolery.
Well, it seems that all the old wounds
were re-opened in the Jefferson Davis
confab, in the United States Senate. and
the two sections are now whetting their
knives for furious Presidential fight in
| 1880. We knew it! We told you sol!
JEFF. Davis ought to have been hung
[Allegan (Mich) Journal.
Ha! But you didn't dare to bring him
to trial, even.
You knew etter.
You knew that the law and the facts
would rise up mountain high to confront
and condemn you for your red handed
crusade upon the Confederacy.
You knew that secession would be adj
| judged legal.
You knew that coercion would be adj
| judged unconstitutional.
You knew that Davis was patriot
who had simply performed his duty in
following the fortunes of his sovereign
State.
You knew these things, and therefore
you knew better than to bring our illus
/ triOus ex-President to trial,
Treason was rampant In this republic
from 1861 to 1865.
Yes, sir.
And your party comprised allthe trait
ors, and the necks of your party leader!
ought to have been cracked on the gal
| lows tree.
Yes, sirs, we repeat it; the Fedora
Brigadiers must take back seats in the
work of restoring the Union. Lincoln
! hirelings are played out in this republic
of ours, now that we have captured the
Capitol.
1t may become the imperative duty o.
President Davis to accept the United
States Senatorship, whether he wants i
or not. These Yankees must be taught
lesson.
Congress swarms with Bourbons of tn
old family pattern, and they are making
things red hot for Yankee Radicals ant
Southern softshells.
Stand back there, ye Federal Briga
diers! Stand back, we say. The old Con
federate boys propose to run this repub
Tic from now on.

Cremation or the method of burn. ing our bodies after death created some little stir in this country but met with very little favor. To place our child our mother or father into { hot oven after death and to stand and gaze at it's rapid crisping burning and conversion into a few ounces of ashes is in our estimation cruel and sinful, Now ladies you who are suif- ering from some female complaint who have become irregular or have pains and aches, mysteries, nervous ness and general prostration we ad- wise youto use English Female Bit ters at once and claim a uew lease upon your lives.

and much is stated from information and belief In this case the contest ants know from the number of the votes cast FOR and AGAINST change in the several townships how to make their estimate. Take for illus tration Illinois, township, the con testants charge that sixty three votes were polled For Change by men re- siding out of the township, and there being but seven votes polled Against Change, the necessary result is that at least fifty-six of these illegal votes must have been counted For Change, and so on as to the other townships. I do hope, sir, that this is a satisfac- tory answer to your ;nterrogatory How has the way each of these PIP men voted been ascertained. Sir, by mathematical demonstration.
 As no objections have been taken against the first, second and third grounds of contest, from the state of pleadings, they are taken for con- fessed, and not only their truth, but their legal sufficieney conceded.
