However gratifying the result of the Ohie elections may be te the Democrats, a rertew of tlie events lending up te Minn and of the Influences operating In tlie campaign recently closed there, cannot fait te suggest the rather obnoxious prominence in their respective parlies of Jehn It. McLean and Charles Fester. It Is true thnl the latter has been badly flattened out ; and, though McLean en joyed a measurable degree of success in having controlled the nomination et the winning legislative ticket in Cincinnati, yet he ewes his election te the generous co operation of Mr. Pendleton's friends and in the state at large he has net suc ceeded in his inveterate purpese of secur ing a majority of the Democratic mem bers of the Legislature hostile te Mr. Tendleten. The canvass and Its result proved that under the leadership of Fester the He publicans nominated a weak man, behind whom and prepping lilm up was Fester himself, as a candidate for the United States Senate. Ne smaller man than Fester has been cast up In the political eruption of late years. With little abll -lty and no lltuess for public life, without knowledge of or Interest In the geed of the people, he has yet been able te crowd himself forward into place and some thing of prominence. He has dune this simply by the deft use of money and Bmlles. His temporary success is a reflection en American intelligence. McLean who plays the role of boss in the ranks of the Democratic party, is a young in.ui who has prostituted a news paper te nasty and sensational reports and te the lowest appeals which can be made te tlie cupidity and the passions of men. He knows nothing of public ques tiens and cares less, and hates men who assume te have ideas or profess adhesion te principles. Yet this man has held a large portion of his party in awe of his influence, and throughout the campaign Indulged Incessantly in coarse and vulgar abuse of Mr. Pendleton, who was all the while giving his best en deavers te the success of his party and its regular nominees. It may be that Ohie cau Ilud a better Democrat and stronger man than Pen dleton fcr the Senate. He is net by any meansagreat senator ; and is dwarfed for instance by the side of that rugged intellectual giant, Allen G. Thurmau. If the Ohie Democrats should see lit te restore him te his old place, they will de credit te themselves and receive credit from their party in ether states. Hut Mr. Pendleton ought net te be beaten te gratify the malice and serve the ends of the McLeans. It would he a sorry day for Ohie when such an end is reachul by the Ignoble means which that faction generally employ. A Meney Making Concern. A geed many people in Lancaster county have recently been victimized by a couple of fellows who have conceived the blight idea of publishing county his teries ami obtaining their profit by in dulging the whim that weak men have te sec their These people have a big book which contain a history, pictures printed, lately published is auppi sed te biographical and general, of Lancaster county ; and they ar industriously eniraged in prepar prepar ingsimilarceuuty histories wherever they can find enough cahli and credibility te make the game pietitable. They Struck a rich lead in Lancaster county finding there a gratifying number of peo ple te pay them from fifty te two hundred and fifty dollars fur publishing their portraits ; and some even who were magnificent enough te pay liberally fur full page illustratiousef their dwellings and farm buildings. We de net observe any pictures of liertes, cattle or pigs in the miscellaneous assortment, though some of tlie portraits are se exceedingly grotesque as te be scarcely human. It is te be presumed that when these gen. tlemeu engaged te pay for their portraits their undeistandlng was that the pic tures should be respectable likenesses, bat certainly they never had the proofs submitted te them for examination, or many of them would have paid a great deal of money for their suppression. Te these of tlie victims who ordered their own portraits in the book we need net extend a great deal of sympathy ; but for such as have been Induced by filial affections te pay for the portraits of their ancestors, we have a great deal el sympathy. They weie naturally induced te believe tl'nt their relatives weie of such consequence In tlie history of Lan caster county that their portraits should net be emitted from the record. They were told that the sentiments of the community demanded the perpetuation of their ancestors' lineaments; and they yielded te the idea from very generous impulses. That they should have been the victims of a money making conspir acy and be required te pay for miserable pictures painted in a flashy book of little value, Is lamentable. That the people of ether districts may net be likewise victimized we glve this much notice in warning : let.thein beware of this history manufacturing concern of Everts and Peck, of Philadelphia. Gov. Muniuv.ef Utah, wants it te be made " lawful for soldiers of the United States te be used for the execu tion of processes out of tlie courts of the United States, hi thn hands of the United State3 marshal of Utah." This is a characteristic recommendation. Theso who knew the governor of Utah will net wonder that he makes It ; mid these who have any respect for the civil authority will never approve putting the military power of the federal go vera inent Inte his hands te be abused. We have had enough of that for one genera tten. He also wants the Legislature of Ulan abolished and a legislative couti ceuti couti eil uppeinted by the president te be sub. fltltuted for lt. It la very remarkable that Itepubllcan Congresses and olllelals cannot deal with Utah and polygamy without exterminating everything llke local telf -government. It Is fair ground for suspicion that they cast covetous eyes en the accumulated wealth of the Mormons, and, Hlce the extinct race of carpet baggers, see seme years of geed stealing out there. In his recently published very Inter esting memoirs of Judge Black, lien Wm A. Perter revives public interest in the circumstances attending the de livery by Judge Ulnck of his famous dissenting opinion In the case of Hele vs. Hlttenheuse, when referring te the judgment of a majority of Ids colleagues, he said : "The judgment nuw about te be given is odd of 'death's doing' Ne one en doubt that if Judge Gibsen ami Judge Coulter had lived the plaintiff could uet have been thus deprived of his property, ami thousands or ether in en would have hef u saved from the imminent daugcr te which they ate new exposed, et losing the homes they have labored and paid for. Hut they are dead ; ami the Uw which should have protected theso sacred rights ha.t died with thorn it is a molaueholy reflection that the property of a citizen should be held by a touure be frail. Hut, ' new lords, new lawn,' is the order et the day.

If each new set of judges shall consider themselves at liberty te over over theow the doctrines of our predecessors, our system of jurisprudence (if system it eau be called) would be tlie most tickle, uncertain ami vicious that the civilized world ever saw.

Hut I would stand by their decision, be cause they have pissed into the law and becime a part el it have been relied en and acted en and rights have grown up uuder thorn which it is unjust and cruel te take away." This is indeed remarkable language for a judge te indulge in concerning his associates, and, as Cel. MeClureoeserved In his interesting argument of the Steiumau and Hensel disbarment c.ise, mere offensive than the criticisms for which counsel have often been arraigned in summary proceedings for contempt. Hut it is even mere significant and almost prophetic in view of the growing complaint that the judgments of our state supreme court are unstable and subject te tee frequent reversal. Whether from a depreciation in the character of the men who get upon the bench, or from tee great a stress of work, e whatever cause, it is certain that the decisions of the supreme court de net command that respect for sta. hility and wisdom which ought te char acterise them. It may be some consela' tien te the judges te knew that the complaint is as old as Jud.je l'lack's time.

The electric light, se far as giving the s' roots of Heading sufficient light te meet the demaud of the citizens, ha.i net been a success. Heading had hotter and a Read ier light when the streets were illuminated with gas, made by the Keadiug uas com pany, than it has new by using the uticer taiu flickering electric light. Every dis iuteiested observant citizen will testify te this fact. Te be sure, a new enterprise like the electric light should be civet) a fair trial before it is condemned. lint has net the electric light had a fair trial ? Tne electric light company agreed te furnish the streets if Heading the light at an e.ir.icr day by mero than a mouth than it lid. In this the company has been in default. The electric light company agretd with this city that the naptha light it would use in lighting the streets would be equal in brilliancy te the gas furnished by the Heading gas company. A comparison be tween the ga of the Heading cempauy and the naptha light shows the latter te be much inferior te the latter iu candle light power. Iu the early meruiug the me chanic, laboring man and all ethers who are compelled te leave their homes hofero daylight have te walk the streets In the dark. This was uet the caxe when the Heading gas company had the contraet te light the streets of this city, and it should uet be he new. The electric light company we believe, should have aud we think it has had a fair trial and the opinion of a large majority of the Heading people is that this city would have saved money aud had a better light, had it never adopted the electric light. Unless the ulec tlie light company can de hotter soeu by the people, should uet councils consult thu city solicitor te ascertain whether the electric light com pany has uet broken its, contract with the city of Heading ? nuitriMd i.n comer UlrRrituelul hceun III H .Meulted 11. ill el luMlce.
