THE PHRASES "as dark as Egypt" and

THE HANGING OF GUITEAU in efiigy

tragedy of national Importance.

THE ENGLISH have been reaping a rich

he is not particular enough, and the new
grievance can thus add zest to the old one.

has bitterly opposed Governor Foster. and
has been used 70 denounce tho leading Re-
tent that very few Republicans of any in

This is unfortunate. The office should 60

but the unsatisfactory manner in which it
has been conducted will probably prevent
such result at this time"
It will be seen that the editor OF the
Times is at his old tricks, that of misrepre-
sentation. Residing in Perrysburg he has
the means of being better informed" than
Ia indicated in the above. He undoubtedly
knows that Mr.. Ross, the present incum-
bent, desires to retain the position OF post
master. If we have failed to recognize
Wr. Higgins, the editor ofihe Times, as one
'of the leading Republicans OF Wood coun-
ty, it ia hia and not our fault. This we
submit to a Wood county jury without
further argument. We do, however, ,recog.
nize both his right and inclination to use
NIL dishonorable means, occupying the po
siion as editor of Democratic paper tc

can, over one-horse" post office.

Notwithstanding the regulations of the

Annual MectIng.ef the Ohio Editorial

!. On Tuesday last the urbane editor Of the

ssdicate The enjoyment he anticipated ut the
prospect Of short vacation and freedom
from the petty annoyances necessarily con-
nected with the management Of country
Aswspaper. He stepped back, however, to

Hllsd'pIirss three cent piece with which
u pseSide them fodder during his absence;
also cautioning him not to allow his "sub"
to dIsarrange the papers upon his desk.
The "sub," when he came in, glanced AT
the editors orderly desk, and when he saw
the MAS of copy and papers piled upon ii,
interlarded with dust, which, at the slight
est disturbance would ay ap and envelope
the interloper, he made mp his mind that
the caution was unnecessary. The pile j.
