Implc alton of well known Citizens.
A regular counterfeiting league, composed
Of gangs located in Cleveland, Cincinnati and
other portions of Ohio, has been discovered by
the Police, through a stool pigeon. Many well
known citizens, including three police officers,
are said to be actively engaged in the nefarious
business. The. Cincinnati Gazette, of the l4th
says:
The names of the gangs and their principal
places of congregating were named, as well as
the method Of obtaining "covey," and becoming
an adept in this species of crime. 1t was stated
that gangs were in Columbus and Sandusky,
10 both Of which cities arrests upon information
received from Young have been made, and the
parties committed to Jail, for their final trial in
the criminal courts In this city, no arrests
have yet been made, but we learn that the
necessary steps are being taken to make an
extensive haul. Officer Williams and his stool
pigeon upon what had been told the latter by
Young and others, went to an old wooden water
station house on the l.. M. Railroad, this side
of Polktown, and there found, boxed up sheets
of signed and unsigned counterfeit bills, cut
and uncut, Of denominations ranging from 81 to
$40, on the Northern Bank of Kentucky, State
Bank Of Ohio, Bank of Kentucky, State Bank
of Indiana, and banks in New York, Pennsyl.
yania, Tennessee and Virginia. The total
amount found was not far from thirty thousand
dollars. There was also two plates TO print
the SIS Northern Bank of Kentucky, and the
$2's, State Bank Of Indiana. The money is
well executed and well calculated to deceive.

DEAR SIR: have duly received your letter,

no connection with politics
Why it should be supposed by any one, that

stand, unless it be, the sentiments / have ex
pressed in regard TO the appointment OF Mr..
Soule, as Minister to Spain Those sentiments
were formed and expressed in many conyersa-
tons, with friends attached to both political
parties, before the Know-nothing organization
had an existence. They are Just as sincerely
entertained now, and would not, if ] had the
power, recall anything that have expressed
on that subject.
From boyhood to the present time | have
been connected with the Democratic party,
and claim to have rendered some little SER
vice in behalf of the principles, measures and
men of that party. espoused those principles,
as laid down by Mr.. Jefferson, because be-
lieved them to be In accordance with the Con-
stitution, and promotive Of the great ends of
justice, liberty and equality. It is hardly
within the range Of probability, that ! shall
now change my political principles, or dissolve
my political relations.
To those principles and measures ! will
adhere, until / am convinced that they are
hostile to the genius and spirit Of the Constitu-

III sick Headache Remedy remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
llicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. Dr.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy OF his ''rem.
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andy we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attractedthe attention

General Concha has issued proclamation in
which, after referring to the arrests already made,
he speaks Of the expected expedition from the
United States, and says:
III the expedition should arrive, ii will be
promptly and completely destroyed, and war will
be carried on against the foreign adventures with

OF what is most sacred, The tranquility OF nations
by bands of adventurers, which remind us Of the
