such Illegal votes or other reasons 80 TO be
found, the Court or Judge shall enter and
certify the same accordingly on the records
OF the Court."And II lie finds the contrary,
lie shall, IN like manner, certify the result.
Sec. 3,02l, provides for q continuance OF
tho case nom time to time II necessary.
Sec. 3,022 provides that any citizen Of
the county may appear us conlesice OF such
an election.
II is thus provided for the taking OF les.
timony and final hesring before the Court
Of Common Plens Of Wood county. Tn
that hearing the burden Of proof TO show
thnt the clerk neglected 10 count the votes
OF Pcrrysburg township, wonld be Oh the
REALTORS, they being the conteslces. When
they had made that appear, the burden OF
showing that the votes oh the pol books OF
Perrysburg township were illegal, would
be cast upon the respondent IN this case,
which would substantially make the issues
in that case precisely the same ns the one
now before tho Court. The remedy n,l,at
proceeding would lie plain aud adequate
for all grievances complained Of in this
case
II we entertained any doubt ns to the
correctness OF our cunsl ruclion of the stat
ute for contesting the validity of that vote,
we are supported by The opinion Of all the
Judges OF the Supreme Court in the case
of Peck VS.. Weddell, az o. s. R.,) in
which n paragraph of the syllabus says
that the only remedy for grievances of
this character is by contest under the

This syllabus, we understand, was agreed
TO by all the judges of the court, and even,
II MS counsel for the relator claims, it was
mere diction, we have the satisfaction OF
knowing at least that all the Judges of the
Supreme Court at that time construed
that statue the same as do we.
But we do not think 1t was diclion. II
was proper question in tha; case to show
that the plaintiff had m adequate remedy
ut law. and for that reason the injunction
should not be allowed. We think II a legit-
innate question in that case and that that
case decides this. The motion will there.

At their meeting in Columbus on
Wednesday,, the Republican State Central
Committee decided to hold the next Re-
publican State Convention at Cleveland,
June 9th. AT the conference meeting of
prominent Republicans OF the State on he
evening previous, with a number of othe.s
Gov. Foster was called out and in the
course OF his remarks said, in reference to
the coming campaign, that the "indica-
tions seemed to be that he would have
something to do with it," and recommend
sl that The convention should not be put
offlonger than June 10Th. The Governors
anticipations had got SO completely worked
mp that he made the bold assertion, that
"'whntever the committee might conclude
70 do he would contrib.te his hest efforts
TO the success OF the ticket, and he had
no doubt his associates on the ticket
would do the same." The language quo
ted is from the special to the Gin. Gazette,
and the reporter said :" the last remark was
evidently slip of the tongue and caused
the good Governor slight embarrassment"
Let it be hoped for the credit and pur.
ity of the Republican party and what
purity and niodesty there may be left in
politics, that this was n slip OF the tongue.
The tenor OF his remarks, however, as re-
ported, would indicate that it was not II
slip of the tongue, and if that style of an
iicipating the action of n convention is
oo be adopted the Republican party will
30 into the campaign this fail with very
black eye. Mark the prediction.

Pipe From a Mountain Lake Bursts.
 [From the winsted (Conn.) Herald, April 2s.l
 On Saturday last nine cells were taken out of the village water pipe in front of the En- pire knife company's shop in this place On Monday nine more, and on Tuesday eleven, some of the eels weighing two pounds each. On the same day four eels were taken from the pipe at Dudley's tannery and three at Dudley's house. On Satur- day eleven of these delightful creatures were taken from the pipe near it's termina- tion beyond Charles Cooke's house in the east village. Tuesday night the main pipe burst near Hiram Hopkins place on North Main street and solid barrel of cells crawled out into the road. They came out by hun dreds, weighing all the way from pound to two pounds and half each. They literally ''boiled'' out, squirming over each other, over the road and into the adjoining lots, where boys pursued and captured them in the grass by dozens. This may sound to some like ''fish" story, but it is a true one, as we have it from eye witnesses, the most. serious and truthful men in the neighborhood. Twenty five cells were taken out at Strong's shop Tuesday and large number at the clock shop Monday. The fish are all healthy and probably do not injure the water-in fact it is quite likely that they destroy fungus and other growths in the pipe if there are any, and so long as they do not die in the pipes are only annoying as inn- pediments to the free flow of the water. in some places. It must not be supposed that we have heard of all the captured or escaped cells, but the story will do for one week. These mild-eyed strangers are to be well comed surest harbingers of gentle spring.
