EUGENE FAIRFAX WILLIAMSON has
been sending out orders, invitations,
etc., attaching to them the name of
Rev. DR.. Dix, of New York. This
caused the DR.. and his family the
greatest annoyance, and kept them
constantly answering the door-bell.
Samples of goods, and letters and cir
culars from business houses poured
into the Dix's residence, in great guam
titles. After considerable tracking by
the detectives Williamson was arrest
ed in Baltimore, and now languishes
in the Toombs Prison, New York.

ANOTHER Saloon has been blown
up in Franklin county. This time it
was at Dublin. The people of the
village made every effort to keep liquor
out of their village, but in vain, so
one morning the saloonist found his
shop pile of ruins, in the cellar.
Powder had been put in an empty
beer keg, the keg placed in the cellar,
a milestone placed upon the keg, then
a stout post from the milestone up to
the floor. When touched off, up went
the milestone, post and floor, and
down went the whole ''Shebang" into
the cellar.

A PRISONER. charged with stabbil

A PRISONER, charged with stabbing,
was brought before a New York
Judge, one day last week. When az
raigned, the prisoner set up the too
common plea that he was drunk when
the crime was committed, and there
fore was not responsible. The Judge
replied that the fact Of his being
drunk was not an excuse for the crime,
but an aggravation of it, and that in
future he should add to the penalty
when the crime was committed under
the influence of liquor. That is the
proper course for the Courts to pursue
in such cases. Were drunkenness ac-
cepted as mitigation of the offense,
a criminal would only have to make
an irresponsible beast of himself be-
fore committing a great crime, in Or
der to escape with light punishment.
The fact of his voluntarily rendering
himself irresponsible, renders him
dangerous member Of a community,
and we believe, with Judge Cowing,
that instead Of drunkenness being ac-
cepted as a mitigation Of a crime, it
should be considered sufficient grounds
for increasing the penalty.

Three Dollars, and no GrumbIing.

Almost every day we receive papers
with long articles marked, putting can
didates for State offices. Several
times we have received printed circu-
lars, urging certain men for nomina-
ton. One of these requested us to
give him a favorable notice, and send
him few papers containing the no.
tice.
Now we have this to say to all can
didates, both for State and county Off
ces: if you want to have yourselves
announced as candidates for office,
send your announcement, and with it
send three dollars. No name will be
announced unless it be accompanied
by the amount, three dollars. If you
think it will not pay you, do not make
the announcement. We are not urg-
ing you, only to let you know that We
are not publishing a paper for the es-
pecial benefit of candidates for Office.
Now remember, this applies to candi-
dates for county offices, as well as can
didates for State offices.

What Would Mary Think

Mary Clemmer had in recent issue
of The Independent, long and silly
TRADE against Blaine-the burden Of
which was that Mr.. Blaine is not a
patriot, because he remained at home
and accumulated wealth during the
war. Mary feels confident that Mr..
Blaine was governed by mercenary
motives. Perhaps if Mr.. Blaine had
become beggar during the war, Mary
would now be urging him for the
Presidency. As Er Sherman is cred
tied with having improved his fnan-
cial condition during the war, Of
course he is not a patriot, and would
not do for Presidential candidate.
Suppose that Blaine, Sherman, and
all the rest Of the loyal men wLo re-

as to John Sherman's political career,
ever since he has been in public life,

be nominated at Chicago; but we much
prefer Blaine, for several reasons, not
necessary to enumerate now and here.

The Late Trouble In Maine.

Those who have been disposed to
regard Mr.. Blaine as an impulsive and
possibly rash man, were kindly furn-
ished by the Democratic party the
opportunity to be completely undeceiv-

success with which he conducted the
Republican pa ty in Maine through
its recent troubles, and brought order
and law out Of chaos and threatened
violence. No finer display of states
manlike qualities has been seen in this
country, and the American people are
not slow to perceive that in the pro-
tracted and perilous struggle in Maine,
Mr.. Blaine exhibited all the qualities
required for the discharge of the diff
cult and delicate duties Of an executive

Mr.. BLACKBURN, hot-headed rebel
Congressman from Kentucky engaged
in a TRADE against the Democratic
members from Pennsylvania, a few

Blaine.


If the masses in the Republican
party can have their way about it there
is no manner of doubt that JAMES G.
BLAINE will be the nominee of the
Chicago Convention,-and by ACCLAIM
alton. Indeed, so strong is the popu-
lar demand for his nomination, that
to press the claims Of others seems
like an effort to set aside or defeat the
will of !he people, Wherever Repub-
licans can cast Republican majorities
his name is an inspiration, and his
nomintion would be hailed as the
harbinger of cuccess. In the strong
est Republican States the masses are
for him almost to man. Even in
the disputed localities he leads all
other candidates. In Pennsylvania
nine-tenths of the party are for him.
In New York he is stronger than other
candidate. In Illinois he leads both
Grant and Washburn. In Ohio there
is no other candidate who can mar
shall so large a following as Blaine.
These facts are patent to all observ-
ers. -Four years ago Blaine was strong
er with the masses than any other
candidate. And he was strongest in
Republican localities. On the decisive,
seventh ballot, in the Cincinnati Con-
vention, that made Hayes the candi-
date of the Republican party, only 1862
of the 364 cast for him were cast by
states that gave Republican majorities
while Blaine although beaten, receiv-
ed on the same ballot, 203 votes from
Republican States. Republ leans now
as then, where Republicans can cast
electoral votes, prefer Blaine. One
can't help thinking that delegates
from Democratic States would do well
to defer a little to the opinions OF
those upon whose votes we must fin
ally depend for victory Newark

There is no hope OF the present
Legislature doing any thing now to
redeem itself. 1t is fooIing with the
ST. Hoffman Bounce Bill, and then it
goes home for week, more or less.
The general appropriation bill has not
been passed, the reorganization of
the Public Institutions is still delayed,
the Local Option bill is ignored, and
if no good be accomplished, the peo-
pie will be fortunate if no serious

The Hon. John T. Wilson publish
ed "a Card in last weeks Man
chester Independent and New Era"
Of this place, in which he announces
the startling intelligence, as follows:
on the % inst, expect to leave my old homestead
this too well understood in this county to need any
explanation"
The many friends of the Honorable
John T. Wilson, will regret to hear
Of this, seemingly, hasty conclusion.
He has been an honored citizen of our
county, ''for 10, these many years.
among her people he has acquired a
vast amount of money; perhaps, to-
day, he is the wealthiest man in the
county; in the bosom of her earth he
has buried a loving wife, and patriot
boy, who died in the late war with his
armor on. All the tender ties of
earth, which should bind loving hus-
band and father, must be severed-to
crafty what? An ambition to add
few more paltry dollars, to his already
well-flled Golfers.
That our readers may more fully
understand the reason and intent of
this hasty conclusion, we make fur
ther extract from the pronunciamento:
y not willing to pay tax in two different States
ing that which belongs TO another State, lose that
which Adams ought to have; and cause me serious ]
be so fortunate as to have an Auditor and Com
o I 9e or II TO- f n II the hs m s @
may again become resident. Ifhot, never.''
This terrible thrust at the Auditor
and Commissioners, is what we do not
understand. They are equally divided,
politically, therefore, the matter can
not, possibly, be construed into politl-
cal prescription. We have board of
county Commissioners who will COM
pare, favorably, with any board in the
State of Ohio. They are honest men
and would scorn to do an Intentional
injustice to any man.
Since the above was in type we re-
ceived from the Auditors office a cor
respondence between Auditor r. III.
Ellison and James Williams, Auditor
of State, which throws additional light
on the subject The correspondence is
as follows:

cold School" Democrats.

The Democratic party learns very
it does learn. Time was,
in this country, when the sole argu-
ments employed by the Democratic
statesmen in Congress, were the tao
tics of the ''bully" y"-the ruffian. This
style of argument had its origin among
the Southern members, and no one
was allowed to criticise anything said
by one of these "Suth'n gentlemen"
save in the mildest terms-on pain
of being called upon to ''give satisfac-
tion."
The men who use such methods are,
as a rule, physical towards, OF the
most contemplate class. These meth
DDS are not now employed by the hot
heads to the extent that they were,
formerly. The Democratic party has
learned one thing-that nobody is
afraid of it. Yet once in a while a
hot-head consents to build upon the
foundation laid by nature, and make
complete ass of himself for the
amusement Of the public.
There was an amusing case last
week in the House. Mr.. Garfield
made few remarks that were Often
sive to Mr.. Townshend, Democrat
from Illinois. The latter wanted to
know if Mr.. Garfield attributed un-
fairness and deceit to him, Town
shend. Mr. Garfield replied that the
English language was plain, and as
sured the Illinois man that he had
understood his remarks-that he did
attribute, ETC. Then Townshend flew
into a passion, talked about satisfac-
ton, men of honor, and so on, and
called Mr.. Garfield a liar. That last
word was intended to crush the Ohio
man completely. The average DEM
ocrat is of the opinion that if he can
call a Republican liar, and not get
his mouth broken, he is tremendous
creature. If Garfield had quarreled
with him, he would, perhaps, in his
desperation, have supplemented the
epithet by calling Garfield a Demo
crat. When a Democratic politician
is outwitted in an argument, or in any
manner beaten by Republican, in a
contest of wits, heswill put on an ex-
preston of whitening scorn, and say
why, you used to be Democrat!
That is intended as a crusher, and is
only used as a last resort. The brey-
ity of the debate was probably all that
prevented Garfield from being called
Democrat. This Illinois man began
to roll up his sleeves, and otherwise
tried to look dangerous, and doubtless
expected the Southern members tc
crowd around him and hold him. But
they laughed at him, and when Gar
field asked him if he-was armed, an6
able to defend himself, the mirth was
boisterous. Those of our readers who
have seen Garfield, will at once see the
joke of any one attempting to scare
him.
In the Senate, Kellogg handled tina
