Pursuant to the call of the Executive
Committee, the Democracy Of Ohio county
met in mass convention. yesterday morn
ing, at the Academy of Music. The attend
ance. while sufficiently large for AL
practical purposes, did not crowd the hall
and the meeting wss characterized by 'har.
mony and unity oftpurpose. The county
is practically solid for Good, and all disture-
ing and factious elements were conspicuous
by their absence, as far as the Congressional
delegation was concerned; and as for tbs
State convention, so little general interest
is taken in its one nomination that not o
particle of excitement was engendered
over it. rss. E7f71
The Democrats present were nearly all
representative men, and in their action
voiced the sentiment of the county. A
fair sprinkling appeared from the rural
townships and the city districts were well
represented. All of the party "wheel
horses and stand bys' were there early and
from the lively chat and gossip and the
general good feeling prevalent, the har-
mony of the meeting was foreshadowed.
Mr.. Good was q prominent figure through
ont, and made his first appearance, in this
county, as an open and ayowed candidate,
freely discussing his prospects and antici.
pations.
, At 10 O'Clock, the hour agreed upon, the
meeting was called to order by Philo. L.
Kimberly, chairman of the County Execu-
tive Committee. He said 1t was scarcely
necessary for him to announce the object
of the meeting, as every one knew II was
for the purpose of selecting delegates to
represent the county of Ohio at the State
Convention to be held at Parkersburg on

Archbishop Purc cells Estate.

CINCINNATI, January 29.-A meet
ing of creditors, principally Germans,
of Archbishop Purcell occurred at Hi
hernia hall, this afternoon, apparently
to. give sanction to the resolutions
drawn up by the committee which was
appointed about year ago. 1t failed
of its object, owing in measure to a
lack of organization, but got SO far as
to bring the resolution to light. There
were about $50 present. Mr.. George
Lundy, creditor and also lawyer,
stated that he had found, on a close
examination of the archbishop's af-
fairs, that they had been administered
in an entirely satisfactory manner. He
had found that the debts amounted to
81, 900 900, while to meet this there is
but $225 900 of assets, In this latter
estimate was not included the cathe-
dral nor the seminary buildings now
in litigation, some parties claiming that
they are not responsible for the debts
of the archbishop. If the courts de-
eide they are, it would add $4,000 or
$Ioo, 900 to the assets. There is one
case now pending in the supreme court
of Ohio and other cases in the lower
courts, and until these cases are de-
Cided no one of the creditors will get
a dollar and the assignee cannot dis
burse a cent. While it is a long time
to wait for such little money as the
creditors will get, it cannot be helped.
There is, no case in the history of
American courts which involves the
rights and interests of so many per-
sons as this, except the bred Scott
case.

Clergymen who are given to tight
neck wear will be interested, if not
amused, at reading the following from
the New York Suns church column !:
GA well-known preacher recently ex-
perienceda painful sense of suffocation
during his preaching services on Sun
day, followed by severe pain in his
throat after going home. On Monday
he felt hardly able to speak, and on
Tuesday he could with difficulty utter
whisper. By Wednesday the trouble
generally relieved itself. This contin-
ued for some weeks, alarming the poor
man all the time, and increasing in PAIN
and inconvenience. The suffering
clergyman consulted physician, but
without avail. He then mentioned the
difficulty to a friend who happened to
be dealer in shirts and neckwear
This friend inserted his finger between
the clersyman's neck and his neck
band and at once reported the cause
of the trouble. The unhappy promul-
gator of gospel tidings had been wear
ing a collar an inch and a half too
small for him. He had for years been
accustomed'to a 15-inch collar, and
had not taken notice of the fact that
he was increasing in size to such an
extent that a 16H collar was now what
he needed. The sense of relief when
he got collar of the right size was
wonderful. The pain and uneasiness
were no longer felt, and the man could
now speak with ease. The lesson to
clergymen is Obvious. There are
many who wear tight collars and era
watts around their necks, and who are,
in consequence, martyrs to throat all
ments. The organs of speech must
be allowed ample freedom if the gos-
pei message is to be delivered accept
ably.

THE IMMIGRATION sWINDLE.

Samuel Swan, of the firm of Swan &
Leach, and John Routledge, immigra-
ton agents of Manchester, England,
have been charged by the board of
trade with acting as passage brokers
in respect to passengers to the United
States, without being duly authorized
to do so by a proper passage broker.
1t transpired in evidence that the case
arose out of the immigration swindles
by which they had induced to act as
agents for the sale of these tickets, and
the following statement was made in
respect to the swindle:
Two men came to this country
about two months ago, representing
themselves to have been sent over by
the Southwestern American associa-
ton, and took Offices in Leadenhall
street, London, DIR. Kingsbury, who
was we'll known to MeSsrs Swan and
Leach, lending his name to the asso-
citation, and his credentials were en-
dorsed by the Dominion line. The
men coming from Texas communicated
with Messrs. Swan and Leach, who
were asked to assist in the object
They replied that if she association
was legitimate one they W ould see
what could be done. Colonel W. w.
Lang said he was sent over by the
Texas government, who had put aside
funds for assisting immigrants, and
they were therefore supplied with
abundant means, and he was empow-
cred to do everything to forward the
object in view. Mr.. Swan had an in
terview with Colonel Lang, and he
was asked by that gentleman to book
passengers, but this Mr.. Swan de-
clined to do, as he was not sufficiently
acquainted with Colonel Lang, but
added that if Colonel Lang would
place his business in the hands of some
first-clasS London firm, there would
be no objection to do business.
Then the name of Messrs. w.
S. Gladstone & Co., was intro
duced, and Colonel Lang said if that
firm was communicated with all would
be found to be right. Mr.. Swan wrote
to them, and was offered the sole
agency for Manchester on commits
sion, to be divided with Messrs. Clad
stones Manchester house, as they
would look for freight, and Swan and
Leach were to obtain passengers to
travel by the Quebec and the Teuto-
MIA. Ultimately they agreed to act,
and they were supplied with ticket
books and all the other paraphernalia
necessary for the business. Ultimate
ly telegram, followed by a letter, was
received, stating that, owing to some
misunderstanding between the owners
and charterers, the Quebec would not
sail, and all the passage money was
returned to all, who had paid, and
Messrs. Swan and Leach offered to
provide accommodation in another
vessel. The owners were commune
Gated with, and Messrs. Swan and
Leach learned they were not the
agents in Liverpool, although their
names had appeared in the advertise
