The true View of the Case.

There is much truth and good sound
sense in the following, which we clip
from the columns of the Cincinnati Com
merciaL
There is one thing which we desire 10
say in connection with the results of tn s
election. We say ii for the ears Of the
people of Safes south Of our own, and in
the hope that it will be received in the
same spirit of truthfulness with which it
is ,poken. 1t is proper that The North
and the South should understand each
other, and it there is a truth, which Can
aid in bringing about such an under
standing, it ought not to be suppressed.
The result of this election is no evidence
that the people of the State of Ohio are,
or are about to become Abo itionists -
There never was time when, as whole,
they better understood the legal and
Institutional rights of the her mem
bers of this conf deracy, or were more
ready to respect and defend them -
They are for this condition of things
more indebted TO Mr.. Chase than to any
other individual. The resistance of the
uirgai, of which he has been the cham
pion, has had the effect, among US, to
define and confirm the Legal. The
charge SO frequ ntIy made, that his cleo
ton would be The sign of a war through
out the North on Southern insti utious, i
false The people oi Ohio could not be
induce d to enlist in such an enter prise,
n could Mr.. Chase be prevailed upon to
lead it. Whatever else may be said of
Mr.. Chase, he is eminently national
man, and the more his character and an
t. cedents have been sittd du ing the re.
cent canvass the more obviou and un-
question Bile has the fact b come.

pa>tured is greater than the fee simple Of
the same number of acres in this coun-
try"
The Journal seems to forget the fact,
however, that the price Of labor in this
country is always more than double, per-
haps quadruple, the rate in England and
Ireland. But we will not be tempted into
a discussion of this fruitful theme. 1t
may be sufficient for the present to sug.
gest that our people might make a much
better use than they now do (whatever
may BE- the rate OF duty on woody of the
immense bodies of land suitable for sheep.
raising which our almost boundless coun-
try affords. There is sufficient demand,
at remunerating rates, for all the wool
that can be grown, though each husband
man, like Job in the land of Uz, should
have his seven thousand sheep and his
FIVE hundred yoke of oxen.-Nat. Int.

A Will CASE DECIDED. .-- The Albany
Argus publishes the decision of Judge
MITCHELL of the Supreme Coult of New
York, in the case of John p Beekman,
administrator with the will annexed of
William Barthrop, deceased, against the
people of the State Of New York and 9th.
ers, and which involved the validity of
certain trusts for charitable purposes crea-
ted by the will of the deceased. The va
lidity of the will is sustained; and the
trusts directed to be carried intokxecution.
The amount involved in this RESULT is said
to bo near $3o0,000. The administrator,
DR.. Beekman has been in possession of
tho estate since 1899, during ali which
time the charitable purposes Of the testator
have remained unefecuted. By the
judgement of the court the administrator
is now to account for this large fund, and
for the manner in which it has been en-
ployed by him during the long interval
within which the claims of charity have
been postponed. The administrator claim
ed that the will was void in which event
one.half of the estate would fall to him
and his brother, Thomas Beekman, and
the residue to sister of DR.. Barthrop in
England, and tho suit now decided was
prosecuted upon that theory, with, as ap
pears, disastrous result = MAJ Intei.

Statistics of Wool.

A late number Of the New York Jour,

article on the subject of the Tariff and
the probable action Of the next Congress
in regard to :" free rade in raw mate.
riaIs." We shall express no opinion as
to the policy suggested for, whilst We
have BEEN the uni advocates of iu.
dicious protection to home industry, we
do not profess to be well posted in all the
facts and arguments at present bearing
upon the subject.
The journal understands thatSecretary
Guthrie, in his next annu j report, will
recommend a revision of the Tariff, keep.

Sd. 10 encourage the industry Of the
country by exempling raw materials from

We are not prepared either to agree to
or controvert he assertion of the Jour-
nal that "the sentiment of the people
throughout the country is nearly unani-
nous in favor of exempting raw ma
terials from duty" as the best policy for
: the encouragement of home industry !"
but we may suggest doubt whether even
the agriculturists have given the subject
such thorough examination upon reia-
bic data, as TO enable them to form cor.
rect judgment Thot such raw ma erials
as are not raised in this country might be
admitted duty free may perhaps be con-
ceded to be polite but it will certainly
require many strong facts to induce uni.
versol assent to the general proposition
for free trade.
But we waive all discussion on this
point, and proceed to the statistics ad,
duced. TIE journal says:

The standard...The Ele Ction,

The result of the recent election is be-
fore the people. The candidates have
been tried by their constituents, and
the long agony is at last over. In the
contest just closed, every man in the com
munity has acted as seemed to him meet,
he has voted for whosoever he pleased,
without fear, favor, or affection, and IN SO
doing he has exercised right and fulfill
ed duty, which no power on earth, could
either abridge or control. No man living
had right to say to the poorest voter at
the polls, why do you vote thus ? or why
not thus
In this matter then, the individuals OF
the State, have acted with perfect inde-
pendence, save as each and every one of
them felt bound to sustain the nomination
and organization Of the party to which he
belonged, aud which he acted.
Every one knows, that the combination
of the elements Of the election this fall,
was very peculiar; and in such state of
affairs, no one can assert, that the editor
of a newspaper is less free than any other
man in the community If newspaper
belongs to any one itbelongs to the editor,
and through its columns he has perfect
right to express his views in National,
State or home political affairs. A paper
is published for the benefit of the commu-
nifty, and it is impossible to please all vo-
ters. The man who attempts it must fail.
The press must be free. 1t must speak
the sentiments Of the many not the few.-
If it can be done, it ought, under certain
circumstances, to give both sides OF
the question for the people are all intercs-
ted in knowing them. Letjustice be done
though the Heavens fall.

COUNTY TREASURER. Our friend T. B.

made good officer during his past term,
and there was not any good cause why
