AN exceedingly peculiar political
proceeding transpired in Liberty
Center, we learn from the PrGsS. a
year ago the Republicans elected as
Mayor of the village Capt. ID. X.
Bowker, believing him to be one of
their faith. But in this they were
deceived, as the Capt. shortly after
ward commenced to train in the Pop
ulistic camp, and was candidate be
fore the PopuIist county convention
last fall. This state of affairs raised
the ire of the Republicans to such
an extent, that at their town caucus
this spring they passed a resolution
asking the Captain to resign? A COM
mittee waited upon the Mayor and
acquainted him with the action of
the caucus. He consigned them all
to hades, with a refusal to accede to
their demands, which was highly
proper, under the circumstances.
Mr.. Bowker was not elected Mayor
of the Republican party, but of the
people of Liberty Center, irrespec-
tive of party, Notwithstanding he was
elected upon the Republican ticket.
The whole proceeding might have
been intended as a joke, but whether
it was or not, it is characteristic of
greed and selfishness.

ed which is an excellent indication
that Democrats are alive to the in
terests of their organization, which
presages success at the coming spring
election. 1t is now the duty of every
Democratic voter to deposit his ballot
on the 9th of April, preparatory to
the great struggle which is to take
place in the fall.

PURITY of family relations is the
object sought in bill which Senator
Vogt has prepared and will soon in.
troduce. The measure is brief but
very radical, and provides that any
person guilty of unlawful intimacy
with the wife or husband of another
shall be liable to o fine of from $500
to 5000, or imprisonment from 10 to
20 years, or both at the discretion of
the court. At present there is no law
covering this point as Senator Vogt
think it should be covered, and he
proposes to make the offense as dan
gerous as it is heinous. Weston

1T has not been very long ago that
the papers Of Fulton county were
twitting Henry county upon the fact
that its tax rate was higher than
that of Fulton. Now some of these
same papers are complaing Of the
high taxes in Fulton county, and lays
the blame upon the class OF officials
they put in Office. The fact of the
matter is, the officials of Fulton coun-
ty, in order to give the &. o. p. credit
for low rate of taxes, barely made
levy sufficient to meet necessary eX-
penses, let alone making improve
ments which the advanced state OF
the times demanded. This of course
could not continue always, and now
in order to keep pace with the times
and repair the damage done by the
low tax leyies, benighted Fulton is
wiggling terribly over higher tax
rates. There is invariably day OF
reckoning.
