Senator Entrekin got a bill through
the Senate on March 4th, giving
500 bounty.tO alre-snlsted veteran
Union soldiers In Ohio, who are enH-
tied to It, but have never received It.
After the bill passed, It was discover
ed that certain Indianapolis lawyers
have by some means procured copies
Of the records Of enlisted and re-
enlisted soldiers in Ohio, and that
they have for months past had their
agents busy over the State, buying
up their bounty claims at from 25 to
so per cent. discount The pass
age Of this bill would be merely an
appropriation for the benefit Of these
lawyers. The bill has. since been
reeonsidered and laid on the table.

oppression, they have determined to bear
it no longer.
The Piqua Helmet also talks plain

Ohio know what is wanted (? OF course
they do. If 100, 900 names should 90 in

They know vel enough, to-day, that the
great mass Of the people have been bound

traffic, and they want to be free TO put It
away when a majority so wills.
They want the right to protect their own
homes and property.
They want to be able TO keen temptation q

They don't want to be dragged down and
spit upon by few Hquor-seuers, who are
not even good citizens. In a word, thev
don't want jug-ruls any longer.

The Boston idre,tiser saws: The town
Of Damariseotta, Maine, was one of the IN
fortunate municipalities that were drawn in
to the disastrous enterprise Of the Knox and
Lincoln railroad. With a valuation which
is now only 100000, ii made loan Of its
credit to the amount OF sll3.Gp to secure
the building Of the road. OF course. the
citizens never expected TO be Obliged to pay
a dollar either Of interest or principal. sup
posing that the railroad would do that .is
matter Of fact, the town has been COMPEL
ed 10 pay about four per cent - an average
every year-almost ten dollars on a thousand
of valuation. Damariscotta has kept faith
with lis bondholders. and intends 10 do 50
hut. a. the burden is too grea, To be borne,
it proposes 10 issue new bonds at four and a
half per cent, TO pay the cash obtained for
bonds sold TO all holders of the six per cents
who will surrender them; TO exchange new
bonds for old with all who will consent to
that and TO raise by taxation s2GD1 a year
in addition to the interest that must be paid,
to act as sinking fund. The whole sum
involved is comparatively small one, but il
is much for small town like Damariscotta.
and the effort to manage the debt without
repudiating it is highly creditable,''
