PORTSMOUTH, o. March 3.-The Times
newspaper last night made an unexpected
and savage attack upon the Relief Com
mittee for closing up the commissary de.
pots and converting some. OF the superf
bundsntsupplies into money to assist in.
digent sufferers to make their wrecked
homes habitable. Dr.. Davidson, the chair
man Sam J. Huston, John W. Lawis and
DR.. G. c. Fulton, OF the committee. left To-
night to lay the matter ariglt before the
State Commission and people OF Ohio.
Tie iruendoes that have been published
are in every respect false, aud great indIs
nation exists in the community.
A week ego The distress caused by the
fcod had abGted, business was resumed,
work became plenty, money commenced to
circulate, and the industrious classes vol
unfairly ceased drawing relioIs; but the
chronic idleTs aid begeers still hung on;
hundreds refused 10 work at aIy price,
ard enough laborers could hardly be pro-
cured to move goods, clean streets and
start manufacturers. The continuance OF
a general distribution Of food and clothing
was denorslizing the people and grsdu
atiug en- army OF psupsrs, thereby inhict-
ing greater and more lasting evil upon
Il ciIy than that caused by the food.
In ibis condition OF affairs the committee
cor cluded to divert portion, at least Of
the relief which had poured in beyond ne
ces.ity TO repairing and replacing the
homes that bad been swept away or
wrecked of poor but frugal and industrious
men who we're unable 10 help themselves.

President making has occupied public

Frank Harcourt of the Erie Dispatch. l
used TO have the next desk to Harcourt in
the Dispatch office, and if he ever expend-
ed the time necessary to gather express
sions OF opinion from the territory re-
ieIr,d to he has changed his methods con-
siderably since that period. Saying moth
ing Of other considerations, be would not
be likely to insult his imagination by max
ing such prohigate use Of postsge stamps
as such inquiries would necessilste. He
used to keep the staid old to Sn of Erie in
perpetual fsrmeut with his accounts OF
miraculous occurrences. What he thought
ought 10 happen happened, and the rule
be ID good as to surrounding territory. |
never knew him to 20 into figures before;
but, if there is any man in the country

do il. The only thing to be remembered IN
reading his account Of Presidential prefer
encss is that the most ingenious eontribu-
tor may sometimes make mistakes iu To-
eating the position OF other people unless
he fskes the trouble 10 ask how they
