County Newspapers.


The following is what the Cincinnati
"Trade List" thinks of those characters
who complain of their county papers
and thus help to injure them:
A gentleman writes us that his coun-
ty paper is SO poor that he has stopped
it; therefor sends us three dollars for the
Trade List. We repeat that we don t
want subscribers on these terms. A
mans county paper is worth as much
as any in the world, or if it is not
it is his fault. If the county pa
per is properly encouraged, it may
be relied upon for information of more
value to the people in whose interests it
is issued than can be found in all the
city papers in the United States. No
man can afford to be without the paper
that furnishes the advertisements of his
county, the public sales, markets, court
news and other local intelligence. If
the paper is poor the people are more at
fault than the publishers for not giving
it liberal patronage. However poor
the county paper may be, it is always
worth more than it costs to those inter-
ested in the affairs of the county,"

that the sixty Surgeon Pension bill now being
engineered through Congress by Commissioner
Of Pensions Bentley This bill is thought by
Bentley to be the best, easiest and safest means
OF delaying and II possible, destroying many Of
the meritorious pension claims now before his
Bureau. Under It's operations II will take
more years than are usually allotted to man
for soldier TO get his claim passed upon.
The bill is in harmony with many other acts
of injustice towards the soldiers he has been
guilty Of; he has let slip no opportunity 10
render difficult the transaction Of business
before his office, and has surrounded the prose-
cution Of pension claims with SO many intri-
cate rules, that none but experienced jurlsts
can successfully conform to them. In fact,
Bentley's whole course, since made Commits
sloner Of Pensions, has been inspired by feel
Ing of malice toward the men whose sufferings
II Is his duty to do all he can within the law TO
abate. The reason for this strange animosity
can only be explained by the fact that while
these men were fighting the battles Of their
country and receiving the injuries for which
they now ask pension, this man Bentley was
hiding In Canada to escape the draft. Let us
hope Gen. Garfield will make 1t one of his
early duties to retire this skulker.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2, 1s,

WASHINGTON, d. c., February 2, 1881.
There seems to be serious msunderstand-
ing between President Hayes and his party in
The Senate, and 1t is thought that no action
will be taken upon the numerous nominations
made, until after the fourth of March. Presi-
dent Hayes seems determined to fill every
possible vacancy which may occur before the
expiration Of his term, and that too with men
not supported or recommended by the repre-
sentatiyes from the States, wherein service is
to be rendered, so the Senators If they can not
prevent the nominations, will not confirm
them, at least not until they are in harmony
with the party.
The warning elements in Congress have at
last decided upon an electoral count resolution,
which will, for tine present, settle all difficult
ties, but which leaves unsettled, the principal
point of difference, namely, the right to count,
or throw out the votes of disputed States. The
resolution provides that on the day fixed by
law, (this year Feb 9th,) the two Houses
shall meet ia joint convention In the Senate
Chamber, the House TO appoint two tellers,
and the Senate one, whose duty 1t shall be to
count and tabulate the electoral vote, handing
the result to the Vice President who shall then,
according to the Constitution announce the
result and declare the persons receiving a
majority elected. This action settles the dis
puted questions for the present, but the same
trouble will arise four years from now, without
Congress in the meantime pass some perma-
nent law.
The public debt statement for the month of
January shows q reduction of S7,Ss2, 1871,
during the month. The total public debt, less
cash in the Treasury amounts to 1891, ,799,-
56S.2S.
Among the many worthless promiseuous bills
which are being pressed for action, none can
be more unjust or calculated to do injury to a
class of citizens the country is now indebted to,

Got What He Didn't Want.

Solomon Weinhandler opened the
front door of his millinery store at 3S1t
Grand street on the morning of the 18th
ult. and saw on the floor a letter that
had been thrust under the door. The
writer informed Mr.. Weinhandler that
he was aware of Mr.. Weinhandler's

sence, to see his wife, and that, if Mr..
Weinhandler did not enclose the "litil

A Baby's Suspicious Death.

BoYERTowN, January 3l.-The infant
child of Jacob b. Oberholzer, near here,
died suddenly last night, under such
circumstances that 1t is to be investi-
gated. The child being unwell, physi-
clan was called in, who administered
certain remedies. After taking some of
them the child was siezed with terrible
spasms, and died in few hours after in
great agony. The veins in the head
and other parts of the body became en-
larged to treble their natural size. Some
of the neighbors who partook of the
medicine complained of similar symp-
toms. The community is much agitat-
ed over the circumstances.

The Western Floods.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The flood
in the Sacramento river eliminated this
morning at Sacramento, the water being
within foot and half of the top of the
levees of that city. The levee below the
town broke and the country was over
flowed. The town of Washington, Yolos
county, opposite Sacramento, is inun-
dated. The damage in both cases
reaches an enormous sum. The entire
Sacramento valley presents the appear
ance of an inland sea. Numberless
houses have been swept away, but for
tunately the loss of life so far as report
ed is very small. The hills and high
grounds in the overfiowed district are
covered with cattle and there is a de-
mand for boats to save the cattle, sheep,
etc., remaining, as great number have
been drowned. 1t is raining in the
Sierra Newadas from Plumas to Calaveras
counties, and there is an immense de-
posit of snow. If the rain should ex-
tend high up the mountain another
flood is probable. Should it come on
top of the already immense body of
water in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys there is no telling where
the inundation would end or the de-
struction of property stop, as the water
covers places that were never overflow
ed before.

A Newsboy's Adventure.

Louis Stern, a newsboy, aged fourteen,
Chicago, to answer to charge of leav-
ing baby on the steps of Mercer Hos
pital. The News tells the rest:
The boy, who was evidently much
frightened, told his story through the
medium of an interpreter, as he was
unable to speak English.
He said that he was on State street at
about eight o'clock, when he was hailed,
about half block south of the Palmer
House, by the driver of carriage. Com
ing up to the carriage door, he saw a
richly dressed lady, who told him to get
in and come along with her to Twenty
sixth street. He got into the carriage,
where he saw big girl with a baby in
her arms, and basket placed on the
seat beside the lady. They drove south
ward rapidly and in silence, the boy
wondering at the diamond drops in the
lady's ears, and staring at the big girl,
who had rosy cheeks, and dandled the
baby in her arms.
After driving south for some distance,
the carriage turned suddenly to the left
and stopped At the lady's request the
boy got out. He noticed that he was on
Twenty-sixth street. Pointing to the
white stone steps of large building on
Calumet avenue, she placed the basket
containing the baby in his arms, told
him to ring the bell of that building,
and leave the baby on the steps. AS
soon as he came back she was to give
him one dollar.
The boy took the baby, mounted the
steps, rang the bell, placed the basket
near the door, and proceeded to the
street. Just as he reached the bottom
of the steps, lie saw the driver whip up
the horses and drive rapidly away. A
Sister came and detained the boy until
gentleman came up, when he was turn
ed over to an officer.
"How old is the babeY' asked the
Justice.
+" Five or six days, your Honor.'
"The Mercy Hospital is not found
ling asylum. The baby must have be-
longed to some one who did not know
what they were doing"
The baby, little girl, which attract
ed the attention of even the hardened
officials of the court, was wrapped in a
white worsted shawl, and her under
clothing embroidered with lace.
"Now, boy" said Justice Wallace,
"I'll confer an honor upon you which
many men of twice your age do not
possess. This baby must have a name
before she can be sent to the Foundlings'
Home. She has been deserted by her
natural protectors. Well give her your
name, boy, and remember to bear your
self with dignity. And we'll call her
Mary. Mr.. Clerk, make out commit
ment to the Foundlings' Home for Mary
Stern. Boy, you can CO."
