THE Judgeship is no political office.
1t has no political demands upon it and
no political patronage whatever. For
that position the people look at the
man and not at the Office. Of that man
is exacted the highest character, the
sternest integrity and deepest learning.
The Office must even seek the man,
tradition says 1t is not a thing to be
hawked about to the highest bidder, or
given away as a reward to anyone.
The man who holds it holds high
and sacred trust and that trust should
be stored in pure heart and guarded
bv clean hands, hands that do not itch
for gold. The Judge is an exemplar to
the young, and as such, should teach
the youth that "a good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches" He is
protection to the poor, strength to the
weak, justice to all. His personal re-
uuirements are of higher type than
those demanded of President, and nc
man who cannot fill this measure o
worth should be elected to a judgeship
Every voter owes to himself, his
fellow men and his Creator the duty oi
| wisely exercising his right of suffrage
In day his and generation he should
honestly, fearlessly, conscientiously
strive to better the condition of man
kind.-Mercer Republican.

The TreaSurer,S Salary.


EDS. CITIzEN:-Please give space
to short note in your paper, on Salary
of County Treasurer hastily indorse
the communication of Franklin Twp.
Between 1866 and 1867 the new Jail
and Sheriff's House were built and
paid for, took my seat in the commits
sioner's office in Nov, 1866, Treasurer
Moore had died. The first thing was
to appoint Treasurer The casting
vote fell to me, as the other two each
had their man. John c. Moore, Esq,
brother of deceased, was appointed.
As proposition had been made to
leave $500 in the treasury, out of the
amount fixed by the two previous
boards. $1,000 being the amout fixed
for that year, therefore J. G. Moore
got $1,000 for the year 1867. Hugh
Morrison was treasurer for 1868 and '69
and got about $1,000. Now as to fix
ing $500 as the salary. | would not
split hairs, but can find plenty of good
men glad to serve for $500.

THE Democratic members of the
House at Washington held a caucus
on the Morrison Tariff bill Tuesday
night The free traders were in large
majority, and the protectionists kept
very quiet, but it was developed that
there were enough of them to defeat the
Morrison bill if they have the courage
to unite with the Republicans. The
resolution to press the Morrison bill
passed by Q vote Of lis to 81.

Cincinnati Peaceful.

CINCINNATI, March 32.-Mr. Murat
Halstead telegraphs the New York
Tribune tonight as follows: "The
number of persons killed and wounded
in the riot is about 200. The last
fatal shot fred in anger up to this
writing was between and O'Clock
this morning, though poor soldier
boy was instantly killed this evening
by the accidental discharge of his gun.
The court house is not the utter ruin it
was supposed to be- A large portion
of the valuable records have been saved,
The money that was in the treasury is
all safe. The vaults, which were very
| heavy, are mainly good.
eve have confidence that there will
not be repetition of the terrors of three
nights that will be so memorable here.
But only the overwhelming force of
state troops prevents further disastrous
| demonstrations, The determination to
lynch the gang of murders in prison
and to release the crowd of rioters who
have been made prisoners is something
terrific, and secret meetings were held
to-day that would mean mischief il
there were not thousand rifles and
| several batteries at hand 1t is the
display of power, making assaults by
the mob hopeless, that will prevent
fresh outbreaks
"The presence of regular soldiers
from Newport Barracks at the sub
Treasury last night was an element Of
confidence. In stormy times the blue
cloth works well. 1t happens that the
City Controller had complete list oi
the names of the taxpayers of the city
and county and their addresses. The
The tax bill give a description and
valuation of the property. These are
valuable now.
REVIEW OF THE THREE NIGHTS.
"The rioting on the first night was
largely by working men of good char.
acter, who resented the fact that mur-
ders who have money to set in motion
the machinery of criminal lawyers have
had freedom here The second night
the spirit of the commune appeared and
petroleum was put to use, as by the
Pafisians when they are pleased to
burn their public buildings. The third
night the number of determined men
had been largely reduced, and there
were swarms of boys.
"Of the crowd that was smashing
pawn-brokers' shops three were grown
men, and they were thieves. They
had with them rabble of boys gener.
ally from II to l9 years of age, and one
testified in the police court to-day that
he was "l3, and going on IA years of
age" Out of 60 rioters gathered in
for attempting to seize battery of can
non at Music Hall, only 10 were men.
The rest were boys, some very bad
ones, while others seemed to want ex-
citement, above all things. And so the
crowds had deprecated from honest
men, misguided, but animated by
righteous wrath, kindled against sys-
tematized infamy of the most outrage
Gus character, to o vicious rabble OF
boys, in the hands of the lowest despera-
does.
POPULAR GRIEVANCE
"The excited people had a real griev-
ance to begin with. The administra-
ton of the criminal law here has been
damnable, and the influence of sheer
criminals in public affairs alarming.
That which has happened will, we may
hope, make irresistible the influences
that lead to better ways.
