Found What He Didn't
Want to Find

Malley, who like the little tailor in Carle-
toms Sketches, has been "blue moulding for
want of a batein'," was on last Monday even
ing arrested by constable Betson on warrant
issued by Squire Tressler on complaint pre-
ferred by Henry Bostleman for criminal
libel. He received an examination and was
bound over to court. A Bradley and R. T..
Scott going on his bond.
Malley's course since he started his little
paper, has been most reprehensible- per-
son being exempt from his malice; he took
up his swill pail and brush, and like Provi-
dence with His rain, sprinkled it upon the
clean and the unclean-his only ambition
seemingly being to establish a reputation as
a low blackguard. Knowing that q civil
action against HIM would be foley, as moth
ing could be realized on q Judgment; he ex-
pected to escape personal chastizement by
the protection of puny, week and mutilated
body; he assumed the brGgart and continued,
in order to give color to his falsehoods and
slander, to below outfit / do not tell the
truth sue mel' John Judas must remember
that there is criminal law which protects the
character as we'll as the property of the citi-
zen, and he will now have an opportunity Of
proving in court his reckless assertions. Jack
has caughta bear and he enow wants some one
to ''help him let it loose" J"
We are creditably informed that other ar.
rests are to follow.
HWhat varied web we weave,
Whom frst we study to deceive!"

tBAnother specimen of efficiency: Justi-
ces of the Peace are required by law to report
to the Auditor all fines by them collected; the
Auditor issues his warrant on the treasurer,
to whom the money is paid, and he Issues
receipts in duplicate, one of which is deposit
ed with the auditor and he charges the
amount to the treasurer. On Tuesday of last
week, Squire Weible, of Flatrock township,
called at the Auditors Office to pay certain
fines which as Justice of the peace he had col
lected at that Office. The Squire was inform
ed that they know nothing about it and did
not know how to get the money into the
treasury, and Mr.. Weible went home and will
be compelled to return again for the sole
purpose Of paying the county the money due
it by reason Of the stupidity Of the great re-
formersl Such changes" are not to be
hankered after.

70 The reform" (?) Republican Auditor
is too busy pointing out his own construction
of the records to those whom he and hisstreet
corner claekers can get into his Office, mis-
leading people by wholesale lying and mis-
representation, neglecting his sworn duty
and delaying the delivery of the tax dupli-
Gates to the Treasurer, which the law says he
should have done by the LIST of October! AL
ready the great ''reformer" has piled up
enough irregularities in his Office to have him
put out and the county's business turned
over to an honest and capable person! The
Republican boodlers have full possession OF
the Auditors Office, and those who have bust
ness there are crowded out by the gang.
People of Henry county, how long will you
stand such treatmentp Tax-dodger have now
aparadice in the Auditors office.

eW Boothman still stands upon the free
whisky plank of the Chicago PLATFORM That
plank declares: ''If there shall remain g
larger revenue than is requisite for the wants
of the Government, we favor the entire re-
peal of internal taxes (whisky, tobacco, oleo.
margarine, &c., rather than the surrender oi
any part of our protective system ut the joint
behest of the Whisky Trust and the agents oi
foreign manufacturers" Mr.. Saltzgaber il
opposed to this and is in favor of taking the
tax off of necessaries of life in order to re-
duce the accumulating surplusin the nationa
treasury. 1t is easy for voters to choose be
tween the two.

any Republicans in their interest ask you to
vote for Republican, just ask them what

them whether, in return for the favor they ask
of you, they will vote for Mr.. Saltzgaber for

gas- Republicans in this county are working
on the sly, applying to every one where they
think they can make vote BY appealing to
prejudice and ignorance. Ask these sneaks,
who are piling up the money in this country;
ask them how come these colossal fortunes
which such men as Carnegie enjoy; ask them
how it comes that the wealth Of the country
il concentrating in the hands Of the few, and
labor SO lilly rewarded. The very fact and
surroundings should convince every one that
there is something wrong, and that the Tariff
Robbers are gobbling up the substance Of the
country.

~ When Republican asks you to vote
for MFR. Boothman because he was soldier,

Hartnett, or any other Democratic soldier on

arrested, made no attempt to prove his

Oh for tongue to curse the slave

And blasts them In their hour Of night!
May life's unbleseed cup for him
Be drugged with treacheries to the brim,-
With hopes that but allure TO ~,
with joys that vanish while he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits, that tempt the eye,
But turn to asheB on the iipsi
His country's curse, his children's shame,
Outcastof virtue, peace, and fame,
Nay he, at last, with lips Of flame,
On the parched desert thirsting die,--
while lakes, that ehone In mockery nigh,
Are fading of, untouched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes be blasted
And, when from earth his spirit fies,
Just Prophet, let the damned-One dwell
Full In the sight of Paradise,
Boholding heaven, and feeling hell!

Save Me From MY Friends!

This might we'll be the supplication Of
Auditor Russell Before his chair became
warm in his new ofice, with which he seems
as greatly pleased as child with a new toy,
and before he has learned the B @ Of the
once and of his duties. he sets himself up as
the critic and sensor of his predecessors. His
vanity and his egotism might be pardoued, II
he were little more cautious and careful in
his own Official acts. without consulting the
commissioners, of which body he is er-o1iciO
clerk, and clerk only, or anybody else except
little cortierre Of little malicious minded
Republican politicians, he produces and pro-
cures, signs and issues 30 far a. in his power
lay, $4,000 worth of County bonds in pay
ment of the Napoleon toWnship graveled
roads. The Auditor, true, cannot alone issue
these bonds, and it is fortunate for the town
ships outside of Napoleon that he could not;
he, however. as clerk of the board of COM
missioners, attests-witnesses them. This he
did, after having filed them out and before
presenting them to the commissioners for
their signature. Thus no had done all he
COuIu uO tOtOUf - oOftutftU GtC UftUtc CVNfteU
for the payment Of Napoleon's debt. When
he did present these bonds to the commits
sioners they promptly refused to sign them
and instructed Mr.. Russell as to his duty and
the kind of bonds he should prepare.
We were disposed to pass this matter over,
and charitably attribute ii to Mr.. Russel's
ignorance or inexperience with this, to him
certainly, new business. But now comes the
Signal, his organ, and in its last issue says
that Auditor Russell knew better when he
signed these county bonds, that he had not
put his seal on them-a thing not necessary
to such bond and thing the Auditor at that
time did not know belonged to his Office
that he signed them for the purpose of having
the commissioners-whose confidential and
sworn clerk he is-to also sign them, and that
he could then prove that the commissioners
had issued county bonds for these gravel
roads! Great Jupiterl Ainthe fine oficer9
These assertions of the Signal compels us to
the belief that more of the knave than the
fool prevails with the new-the change
Auditor. Here, as the sworn and bonded Off
Ger of the county he is willing, for the sake of
trapping his fellow officers, while acting as
clerk for them, in order to make a little politi-
cal capital, to defraud and rob, we're itpossi-
BILE, twelve of the thirteen townships of
Henry county and give to one, the debtor,
the benefit of making the others pay its debt!
People of Henry county, what can you
think of such reformer? Do you uwant any
more "changes" like that?
Here is copy of the bond as furnished,
signed and presented by Russell to the COM
missioners for their signatures:
