HON. OTTo DRESSED, who committed
suicide last week In Columbus, was /;
man of commanding ability, and had
remarkable history He came of &
prominent family in his native land
and was born in Detmold In 1924. Al
81 he graduated with high collegiate
honors, and entered politics during
the exciting period preceding the
German revolution of lS4s. He be.
came editor of revolutionary paper
and his trenchant pen soon drew upon
him the attention and wrath of the
government An order was made fol
his arrest of which he was warned
and he made his way to the nearest
seaport disguised. The captain of q
vessel kindly concealed him until il
sailed from port. He had no idea OF
his destination when he boarded the
vessel. Amy place in the world was
better for him than his native land.
In lS49 the ship landed him in Balti-
more without penny and complete
stranger. But he had talent and en-
ergy and these served him a good pur-
pose. Thoroughly versed in the princi-
pies OF law, he took up the study of
American Jurisprudence, while he
supported himself by teaching. In
1853 he went to Columbus, thoroughly
fitted for the practice of the law, but
;nasmuch as he had not been in the
country long enough to become ma
turallzed, he could not be admitted to
the bar To remedy this special act
of the Legislature was passed naturaliz-
ing the brilliant young German, thus
enabling him to be admitted 10 practice.
In the law practice he was successful,
and forming an eligible matrimonial
alliance, he became quite wealthy in a
few years. He knew what centraliza-
ton of government was by experience,
and associated himself with the Demo-
cratic party, of which he became an
able and prominent leader. In 1861
he was elected as member ofthe Ohio
House of Representatives from Frank
lin county. In 1863 he introduced a
series of resolutions in the House in
relation to the draft laws, and the Re-
publican majority tried to expel him,
but failed. His constituents vindi-
Gated him by giving him a unanimous
denomination and electing him by an
overwhelming majority. The cause of
his suicide is attributed to temporary
ALTERATION of the mind, brought on by
heavy losses in mining stocks and coal
ventures. His wife's independent for
tune, which he left untouched, will
leave his interesting family in com.

IT will be noticed by a dispatch
from Cincinnati, that Ambrose, the
Clerk of Court who was on trial fol-
taking illegal fees and other offenses
has disappeared and is supposed to be
in Canada. To the Enquirer is largely
due the credit of exposing this fellow,
showing up the case, forcing his
resignation, bringing him to trial and
running him out of the country; and
but for its exposures he would doubt
less now be plundering the people who
have business in the U. S. Courts of
Cincinnati.-Bee.

THE New York Graphic says: "Pro-
gress is being made in the direction of
the organization of new general ex,
press company by the magnates of the
various railroads in the United States,
and another meeting has taken place
here with reference to the same. The
company will probably be known as
the Central Express Company, with a
capital of about $40, 900, and none
of the old expresses are to be included
in the new corporation.

The Wayne county Democrat saws:
"The Democrats carried 10 States

allow any Democrat to despair of ulti-

In regard to the alleged abuse of
the franking privilege it may be said
that it is one of long standing and it
is one that cannot be justly laid upon
one party more than another. The at
tempt on the part of certain Republi-
can papers to make out that nobody
but Democrats ever misused the
privilege, has good deal of character
istic impudence init. Campaign docu-
ments have been sent out under the
franks of congressman ever since the
franking privilege was first accorded.
We suppose it is true that in the late
campaign there was a good deal of
Democratic literature thus dissemina-
ted, but Republican franks were used
to send Republican documents through
the mails to an equally great extent.
AS long as congressman are permitted
to send anything through the mails
under their frank so long will the
abuse continue, and in both parties.
1t is no new thing this last complaint
that has been made against it, because
have heretofore been even
accused of sending their shirts home
to be washed and sent back again un
der their franks. A good way to stop
all complaint in the future will be to
abolish the privilege, and compel con,
gressmen to pay postage on their let
ters like other people.-Plam Dealer.
