er called ont in the attempt to
reconcile the discrepancies in the
statements of The occurrences oi
a hundred years ago, bNyond this
brief paper, which seems called
for. In the first place l cannot
| think the public could be IN any
way benefited by such a discus
sion; and, therefore, | cannot
consent 10 the burthening the
columns of the press with that
which is TO do nobody any good.
Who cares now whether Captain
Cresap and his gang, or Great
house aud his gang killed Logan's
familys These arc de, issues.
MIR Stevenson has things Il lit
tie mixed. He uses both titles.
Colonel and Captain in q rather
confused way, and then goes on
totreat the matter as if there had
been but one Cresap.
In my first letter l stated tha,
Colonel Cresap was the father of
Captain Cresap, and that their
names were both Michael. This
was true, il there IS any reliance
on The histories Of the times. !
did not say that Cresap was
concerned in the massacre at the
mouth Of Yellow Creek, but that
it was probable he was not aud

published statement, where he
said: II knew positively, and
could abundantly prove. that
Cresap was engaged in the at
tack on two parties Of Indians
below Wheeling, just before the
massacre at the mouth Of Yellow
Creek" For all that was ever
known, or that l have at any time
said, there may have been no
other evidence that Capt. Cresap
murdered the family of Chief
Logan than the Chiefs own aver

there can be no doubt, and it was
long after the occurrence before
the charge was attempted TO be |
contradicted, and then most un |
queslionabiy the contradictions
arose from a sense Of justice to

dian hunters and Indian mur-
lerers, no one familiar with the
history OF the times has ever yet

gang, as also Bilbe-back, Craw-

11ih, says:
"The citizens meeting held
here last night 10 raise funds to
secure the erection of rolling and
pudding mills in Nelsonville,
was, we are sorry to saw, very
slimly attended. That is. there
was a noticeable absence of the
business men-the men that
above all others should be most
anxious to secure the mills. But
those having the matter in
charge are gifted with persever-
ance. and yet we hope that our
people will awaken and become
properly interested in the mat.
ter. A committee was appoint
ed at the meeting to wait upon
the business men to-day, and re
quest their presence at a meeting
10 be held at the rink from 3 to 5
o'clock p. m. to-day, at which
time it is hoped everybody will
attend. But little over 50 600 re-
mains to he raised TO secure The
pudding mill, which when set up
here. will furnish employment TO
from 80 to 60 skilled mechanics.
and but about $1,000 remains to
be raised TO secure the rolling
mills and all necessary attach
ments for the manufacture Of all
kinds of merchanlable iron. The
coal trade can no longer be de-
pended upon to give employ
ment to our laborers. and if the
people expect the town to flour
ishsand stand shoulder TO shOul-
der with other towns Of lis natn-
raj advantages, they will have to
besiir themselves.'i'
The inactivity of the people of
Logan is only equaled by the
enterprise of our neighbors.

One Of the great battle cries OF
the Republicans last fall was
about the extravaganza of the
Democratic Legislature. That
Legislature made the revenues
of the State meet all the expen-
ditures and reduced the State
levy One-tenth Of a mill. Chair
man Brown of the Finance Com.
mittee of John Sherman's Legls-
lature stated on the floor of the
House that the State this year
would have to borrow $3.50, 900 to
meet current expenses.
Common sense farmers ought TO
be able TO understand this with
out a diagram. Under a Demo-
cratic administration the reve-
nues of the State are enough to
meet all expenditures, and a re-
duction in taxation is made
Along come the Republicans and
take hold of the machine, and
they not only spend all the reve.
nues, but have TO borrow three
quarters OF a million The first
year, and will also increase the
tax levy. Don't you see how the
thing works?

The big speech Of the Legisla-
tive session made so far. and the
one showing the highest order o!
ability and real craftsmanship,
was a short one delivered last
Friday by Mr.. Williams, Of Co.
shocton, in support of the canal
appropriation. Mr.. Williams
presented the question in its true
light and threw upon it the reflex
of natural thought and compre-
hensive study. He brushed
away the cob webs of the oppo-
nents Of the canal and showed
that their maintainance was of
paramount importance to the
rights OF the people and the COM
mercial welfare and development
of the State. Mr.. Williams has
on several occasions demOnstra-
ted that he is the foremost man
in the Legislature and one of the
coming real statesmen of the
country. That he is Democrat
and thoroughly imbued with all
the bed rock principles of The
Democracy, is a matter of con-
graduation. not only to his con-
stituents in Coshocton county,
but to the Democracy of the
whole State. He is one of the

BALANCES. Ami' brsl'e Of evs'
New-York tribune., 1886-03-18
THE NiSK OFF,

When Mr.. Cleveland, at the beginning of his
Administration, saw fit to place the chairman
of the Democratic State Committee OF New
York at the head of the Treasury Department,
willing excuses were made for him by the
alleged frierds of Civil Service Reform who
had supported his candidacy. 1t is immaterlal
that these excuses were hmsy and valueless,
since they were accepted by the MugwumD
press, and Mr.. Manning was allowed to go into
Office without much adverse criticism. Mr..
Cleveland has since followed this up by making
the successor of Mr. Manning as chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee Of New
York the Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury.
The Secretary of the Democratic National Com
mittce found a fat Federal berth in Burlington
The chairman of the Democratic National EX-
ecutve Committee got a corner of the Treasury
Department for Maryand's great and only
Higgins Ii was disclosed in due time that
three mcIabcrs of the Cabinet other than Mr.
Manning were offensive partisnns to the cx-
tent of being members of State or other pOliti-
cal committees. Many of the charmen and
secretaries of the various Democratic State
Committees have been provided for at the
public crib. Similar officials OF county COM
mittees have been equally well placed. Still
the blind admirers of President Cleveland have
said in excuse that he has been misinformed or
msled, that the real fault is with his Demo-
cratic advisers, and that the Chief Executive
himself is duly carrying out in spirit at least
the reform of the Civil Service by which he
agreed with them to stand or fall.
There can be no such excuse for the Presi-
dents appointment of John II. Oberly, OF
Illinois, 10 be Civil Service Commissioner. 1t
takes the mask of the sham Civil Service Re-
form face that is carried IN the White House
and exposes the Administration to criticism from
which it cannot escape. Mr.. Oberly's claim TO
recognition from Mr.. Cleveland is primarily
based on the fact that he was chairman of the
Democratic State Committee OF Illinois during
the Presidential campaign. He is not Civil
Service Rcformer, either in theory or practice.
He has been an advocate of the doctrine that
to the victor belongs the spOils That he
should be selected as a mem ber of the COmmis-
sion to carry out the present Civil Service law
is an exact measure of the Presidents sincerity
in his oft-repeated plattude that public office
Is public trust. The appointment gives to IN
enemy of Civil Service Reform the execution of
the law on that subject. If any one has hith-
crto doubted the real wish and purpose of the
Administration tie doubt must be removed by
this appointment.
