THE TIME HAS COME.

Every honest man in the United
States is to-day sick at heart over the
country's politics. He is ashamed Of his
suffrage, ashamed of the peopl,'s boasted
freedom, when he knows himself and
his fellows to be bowed down by the
yoke of political corruption. The time
has come for the people to stubbornlY
rebel against the political bosses, the dri.
vers Of the machine The machine it.
self has become 30 freighted with it's own
corruption, that it is given an impetus
which even its bosses cannot overcome.
The whole structure must keep right on
in its mad, ruinous course, unto death
and destruction. But the people in their
might can easily stop, overturn and de.
stroy the great structure of political cor
ruption. And unless they do this, there
stares them in the face, the great, spec
ter.like, ever present, unavoidable truth,
that they will evetually be carried along
and buried with the machine.
But the people must have leaders.
Men of GOODNESS, courage, honor, ability
and brains, must come forward and shape
the course of the people.
The people Of OHIO have called to the
front as one of their leaders, John Wes.
ley Bookwalter; self-made man, begin.
ming life in an obsure county in Indiana
ris ng step by step, by his own untiring
energy, his remarkable inventive genius,
and clear, cool, comprehensive intellect.
through all the ViCssitudes and obstacles
which beset poverty and obECurity, he
stands today proudly among Ohio's ab-
lest men. AS a gentleman, as a man Of
wealth, culture, travel, valued and varied
information, as lover of and sympathi.
zer with the people, John Wesley Look
walter has no superior in Ohio, Ever
frank, honest and courageous in his ad-
vocacy of principles and defense Of right,
always outspoken in his sympathy for
and Championing the right of the masses,
he is eminently fitted to be Governor Of
Ohio. And the people of Ohio will not
criminally neglect the opportunity to
elect man as able and pure as the pur
eat of our best men.-SprinytieId Sunday

The New York World establishment
has been removed to it's new building,
and comes out in new type from new
press. In noticing Its removal the World
relates as follows:
"About o o'clock on the evening Of May
2O:h, 1852, a file of soldiers halted before
the counting room, and their comman'
der, Lieut.. Tuthill, came In and took
possession Of the place. To the night
clerk the Lieutenant said: "If you wish
to go out you may, but you cannot return
il you leave; and you must not receive
any advertisements or do any business"
The clerk concluded to stay at his post,
bat two hours later was thrust outside,
where he remained watching the prop
erty. This i; what followed:
Towards midnight a relieving clerk
now ia the employment of the World
who was ignorant of what had happen
ed, came to the Office to attend to hi du'
ties. o. attempting to enter as usual, he
was stopped by the sentinel who placed
pistol at his breast and forbade him to
procee]. The military remained in full
possession of the property during the
night. At a. M, the carriers and deal
ers came for their papers. Lisut, Tut.
nill aiming a revolver al carrier, inso-
lently exclaimed: "You can have a
ticket out Of thisl Meanwhile tnis same
lieutenant had marched dozen other
soldiers up stairs into the editorial, news
and composing departments, and had ta-
ken complete possession Of the premi,
ses. The military continued in control
OF the World building for two days dur
ing which time the paper was temporar
lily suspended"
"The Journal of Commerce establishment
was also seized by an officer belonging
to Gen. Dix's staff, who acted on this cr-
der from his superior: "You are hereby
authorized to arrest VIM. G. Prime, DA.
vid M. Stone, VIM. II. Halleck and Da.
vid A. H le. and convey them to Fort
Lafsy "tte."
The reason was, it seems, that these
papers had published forged amancipa'
ton proclamation, which had been impo-
sed upon them. 1t was only a few months
too soon. A the World says, this Incl
dent reads rather like a bit Of Russian
than American history.
According to our recollection the Word
and Journal of Commerce were not the
only papers, nor theirs the only publish
ers who received these attentions, DIX
was Governor in New Yo k and Tod was
Governor in OHIO, equally ready to play
the rule of despotism.

Charley Foster slipped over to Mans
field Sunday morning last, to cajole the
Methodists. He attended the Methodist
church in the morning, and listened to
one Of the brethren whom he would, ,fors
sooth, have snubbed. In the afternoon
he drove out past the colored camp
meeting, and took a squint from the
carriage at those to whom his heart now
warns in the hour of his peril. In try
ing to deceive others, Charlie must look
to it we'll that he is not himself deceived.
To rub elbows with good, honest Meth
odists may have soothing effect upon
Charles, but it will not affect those with
whom he rubs. Not this fall, but som2
other fall.-Mansfeld Banner.

The panic as to short cotton crop
seems to be the work Of speCulators, and
has no sufficient basis. Thoughthe CT p
will not be first-Class, there is a prospect
that it will be fair. Good judges esti.
mate that the deficiency in the crop this
year will be 100000 bales--that is to say,
the total product will be 100000 in
stead Of 8 100000 bales as in 1880. But
ifa scarce supply here should cause en-
advance Of 80 much as 8 cents pound
in cotton, the South would raise $4,000.

THE GEORGIA CONVICT SYSTEM
DISCUSSED IN THE LEGIsLA-
TURE.
The Georgia Penitentiary system was
fully discussed in the Legislature last
week, and some shocking statements
made. Members ofa special committee
VII recently visited the various convict
camps, tell Of conviCts whipped with
cowhides till blood gushed from them;
Of men and women, white and black,
chained together; of escaped ConviCts
chased with hounds; of one Convict smo.
ked out of brush heap he had taken
refuge III, and where he remained until
severely burned, and then whipped on
his scared skin; of Convicts worked fif
teen hours day and scantily fed, and
of various horrors connected with the
system. Two Colored members spoke,
speaking out of sympathy for the negro
convicts, who constitute four.fifths Of
the Penitentialy, and asking the Legis.
lature to reform or abolish the system.
The discussion was quite excited. At
present all the ConviCts are leased to men
who use them in mines or on farms, and
complaints of cruelty are numer" us. The
bill now under discussion provides a
Board of Managers for the Penitentiary.
with Warden at each convict camp to
see that they are all treated impartially
and that no cruelty is practiced by the
guards or whipping bosses. 1t will prob
aoly pass.
