TOO MANY MARsHALs,
More Deputies Were Hired In Cincinnati
Than tho Law Permits.


Than tie Law Permits.
WASHINGTON, D, g., April l5--Judge
Durham, First Controller Of the Treas
uTy, has gwen an opinion In regard TO
the accounts OF Lot Wright, United States
Marshal for the southern district OF
Ohio, for expenses Incurred In conduct
ing the election for member OF Congress,
held In Cincinnati In October, 1884, The
account IL mostly for the payment OF
deputy marshala. y
The Controller says: "Some OF
said deputies have been paid for nine
| days services, some for three, four
and more days, and very large num-
ber for two days. Some OF these
| deputies we're not citizens OF Ohio,
and some were citizens Of Hamilton
county. but not Of the city OF Cincin-
natl. My predecessor had decided be-
fore came into Office that said depu-
| ties mu I be voters OF the State and city,
and that II was illegal to appoint q
| deputy who was not voter OF the city,
etc. In this fully concur, and go
further. believe the spirit OF the law
Ia to take said deputies from the respec-
tive precincts In which they vote. The
object of having said deputies Ia TO aid
In preventing illegal and fraudulent
registration and voting and to preserve
the peace, etc"
The reason given for thus holding 10
that o deputy marshal cannot fulhll
these requirements unless he IL q voter
| In the precinct In which he serves, not
having the requisite acquaintance.
Judge Durham expresses the hope that
this construction will be adhered
| 10 In the future. He thinks that an un-
necessary number OF deputies was em-
ployed on election day,and some OF them
FOR longer period than necessary; that,
while marshal should be given q large
| discretion, he should exercise II with
prudence As there was no registration
az the election In question, no is at q
loss to know for what purpose deputies
were appointed before the day OF elec.
ZION, nor why such large number
should have been employed the day af-
ter The opinion holds that In this
Marshal Wright abused his discretion.
The opinion concludes as follows: "As
an original proposition, ! should In this
case decide that the marshal was not
allowed TO have any deputies ex'
cept on the day Of the elec-
tiOn, where there was no registration,
unless there was clear proof that II was
necessary to protect the officers In the
fair counting Of the ballots after the
election was over, and TO preserve the
peace, and then only 30 long as might
he necessary TO give that protection.
But, az before said, Mr.. Wright, sup.
pose, acted on the custom Of allowing
for the pay of these deputies the day
after the election, and shall not dis
turb the same, But the account will be
adjusted upon the basis Of rejecting the
claim for pay Of said deputies who were
not voters In the city Of Cincinnati at
the time Of their appointment, aud re-
jecting all claims for more than two
days' service Of deputies unless there
shall be shown by proof necessity
for the same"

E,nsr Comptrollor Durham's dec

FIRST Comptroller Durham's decision
relative TO the bill Of expenses presented
by Marshal Wright, commends Itself to
every honest citizen. "0nly those dep
uties," says tho Judge, "wh0 were legal
voters In Cincinnati at the time, had
such validity Of qualification as entities
them TO pay and none Of them, except
ing II can be shown that some extraor-
dinary necessity existed for their fur
ther employment can receive pay for
more than two days service Go down
In your pants pockets, MIR, Wright, and
pay tho thieves, thugs and murderers
who kept honest voters from the polls
last October. They will never be paid
by tho government Enquirer.

He Didn't Die.
From he Waynes6oro True Citisen.

from Ute WdHNcSOOTO true t8btseNs
A prominent citizen of this county. who
is in the best of health set last Wednes-
day as the day he was to die. His wife,
who is lady Of superior intelligence,
plying his fOrlOrn condition, did her best
TO argue him out of his cranky notion.
But all to no purpose; he insisted that he
must and would plume his wings for
that land far over Jordan which
sis fairer than this" To cay that
he was most miserable, tells but
half the story; he moaned and
he groaned, and was heard to pray ooh,
Lord, here lay me down to sleep, and il
/ die before l wake, l God, Pm gone "
Wednesday came, and though the sun
rose from behind tue eastern hills in re-
splendent glory, all was dark to our citi-
zen; he recognized the fact that his day
of doom had come. The day wore on,
but his vital powers held their own
there was no sign of giving way, and
when the sun turned adown the western
sky he began to hope that he had made
some mistake in the figures, and
that he might escape. But, Just as
he had begun to take a little courage, a
terrible cloud doomed up on the western
horizon, the lightning flashed in lurid
glare, the thunder peaied in deafening
vOlleys, and the winds grasped the mighty
oaks and shook them as Il giant would
reed. Our citizen gazed in dazed despair
upon the tumult of the elements, and de-
termined that a cyclone was at hand,
and that this was the route he
had to to take to that other mysterious
and unknown world. He grOaned
and resigned himself to his fate. But
the cloud passed away. and the sun sank
behind the western hills, bathing all ma
ture IN aflOOd of living light. Our citi-
zen, whose abnormal condition had pre-
vented him from taking the usual pabu-
lum of the day, ate hearty supper, and
early retired to rest. Soon he lay pris-
Oner in Morpheus arms, and did
not awake until the bright rays of
Thursday mornings sun peeped
in at his window lattice, and seemed to
laugh at his fears, and not then until his
wife approached his bedside and called
gently in his ear, Sob, breakfast is
ready" He opened his eyes, gazed
around, pinched himself to be assured
that he was not dead, arose, dressed him
self and went to the dining room and took
on a breakfast that no ghost was ever
known to eat. Since shen he has been in
good spirits, and declares that he is not
dead.

surveyed the scene, then turning on his

From shs Aug1lstG Chronicle.


A nice little party went over to John
sons lagoon, in Marion county, last Sum
day TO capture the lusty trout. And while
they fshed and tshed for fish that would
not bite, and in regard to whose existence
they began to entertain the most serious
doubts, a wagon containing bevy OF the
fairest maidens In SaHcelito drove up.
Then did the anglers cast down their rods
and engage those nymphs in merry con-
verse.
BY and by wicked, black-eyed damsel
pulled of her shoes and stockings and de-
clared her intention OF wading the la
COON. Undismayed by the mischieVous
glitter IN her cOal-Dlack eye, a gallant
youth volunteered TO carry her across.
She assented and he grasDed her not too
slender figure. When in the centre Of the
lagoon he groaned, for a sharp iDstru-
ment was penetrating his arm. He could
not drop her. He had not breath to re-
monstrate, so he bore the agony brayely
until she was landed on the other side.
And his companions knew not OF mis-
grief.
Then she wanted TO return, ana another
cavalier rushed to accommodate her. The
first did not demonstrate. He knew what
was In store for that gallant. Five times
did that maiden cross and recrOss that
stream, and each time she drew blood.
But none OF the sufferers spoke, until the
last man, stepping With deliberate malice
upon round stone, doused the malicious
maiden into the limpid tide, and did IL 80
cleverly that the Kaleidoscope vision OF
lingerie, and skirts, and knees will never
be forgotten by tho spectators.
