BresliM and his confidential cIlum $
and Advisors.

1t appears from Sparrow's Treasury Defalca-
ton report that two of the editors of the Ohio
State Journal (Schouler and Follett,) have
turned States evidence against Bres;n, and di-
vulged what they pretend to have learned from
him whilst in his confidence. Such evidence is
always to be received with many grains of al
lowance: it may be true, or it may be false--the
latter quite as likely as the former. The fact
however, that these leading republican editors
have occupied a confidential relation to Breslin,
will doubtless astonish democrats who have new
er seen behind the curtain which conceas the
true state Of feeling that exists between band
of bold, inscriptions, plundcring schemers
made up of men Of all parties. During Bres-
Inns term of Office his confidential relations
were exclusively with such men as Schouler,
Gibson, Hamlin, Bowen, and other republicans
of that stripe, and a corresponding set of ras-
calls in the democratic party. The Ohio State
Journal gave Breslin ready access to its columns
just as often as he had wish to make covert
attack on democrat that thwarted his purpo-
ses or was in the way of his hackers Even as
late as January last, Breslin wrote for the edi-
torial columns Of the Journal" and strove, in
particular article to which we now refer, tc
parry off an attack made by q democratic paper

In looking over the Democratic ticket of your
county, | find the names Of several persons

such as your State and county ticket present,
you are certain of victory.

own District, which was hopelessly Republican
last fall, we elected three Delegates, whose

Blacks on bubbles too contemplate to notice.
And although the Black Republican party have
strained every nerve, and made use of every
fraudulent means that their corrupt and rotten
organization could devise to crush the Democ-

what Chase thinks of Bankers.

Salmon P. Chase ltaely made speech in Gin
cinnat. That speech ispublished in the Cadiz
Republican of this week. 1t was before the
Directors OF tho Harrison branch when they
met on last Tuesday, and we think we can see
the countenances of Dewey, Shotwcll, Thomas,
Mcfarland and Mclean, GALL black republicans,
and strong supporters of Chase,) when they
read the following from that speech
"The examination however was made by the
Committee, and also by the Auditor, and they

The Black Republican press throughout the

the 'Eree State" candidate. and they claim his
election as glorious triumph Of Abolitionism
achieved in one of the very. stronghOlds Of the
enemy. Notwithstanding the fact, well known
to the whole country, that the National Dem
cracy in Missouri one ycr agD was in minority
of2l 900 votes, yet these BLEEDING Kansas dis-
ciples OF "Sam," claimed that the three or four
hundred ola majority which they had given to
ROLLINS was a magnificent triumph! Eortu-
nately for the country however in this as in near
ly everything else they have missed their calcu-

1t seems now to he placed beyond all contro-
versy that the glorious Democracy of Missouri
have achieved one Of the most remarkable VIC
tories recorded in the history of politics. One
year ago the National Democracy were upwards
of 81 600 in the minority-now they have car

rejoice in this wise:

Now, it is an undcniable fact that every year
from 1917 to 1855, both Bliss and Breslin sent
out their circulars to county treasurers request
ing them to make advances by the 10th of De-
cembcr, to aid in the payment of the approach
ing January interest. Mr.. Sparrow well kaeO
this fact yet he carefully SUPPRESSED it in
his report for reasons which the public will not
be slow to interpret for themselves. It Bres-
Inns demand on county treaSurerS in December,
1365, proved that the State Treasury was bank
rupt that year, why is it that similar demand
in each of the preceding nine years, does not
prove bankruptcy as far back as 1917?
The truth of the matter is undoubtedly this,
that both Bliss and Bresn he'd their bank pets,
and the sooner they could get hold of each
years taxes from the county treasurcrs the
longer they were enabled to accommodate their
avorites with its use. This bad custom is not
only justified by the leaders and managers of
the Republican party, but was absolutely iegoli-
zel by the law Of April 8, 1856 passed by the
last Black Republican legislature! The Democ-
racy utterly condemn the practice; and instead
Of putting, the public money in banks they seek
to have it kept in the strong vaults of an Inde-
pendent State Treasury Advocate.

Was NIr. Sparrow n borrower from
Gibson, the defsA utter?

We have been asked by several persons,
whether Mr.. Sparrow, the Treasury examiner
appointed by Coy. Chase, was not himself a
heavy borrower Of the public money during
ibson's term as State Treasurer. We are un-
able to give any further Information on this point
than is to be found on pages seventeen and egh-
teen, of the report made by the Finance Inves-
tigating Committee to the Black Republican
Legislature in January last. On reference to
these pages it will be found that the State Trea-
surer had at that date in his possession, the un-
approved bond of Bartlett and Smith, with
Thomas Sporrow as security, for the sum of fifty
thousand dollars, and that on this bond, the said
firm had on the fifteenth day of December last,
public money to the amount of ONE HUN
DRED AND SEVENTY.ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS! These men are a wildcat bank
ing firm that do business in the city of Colum
bus. They are unmitigated sharks as we'll as
shavers, and have been the chief operators with
in few years past in putting out the notes Of
several ricketty banking institutions whose pa
per has subsequently rottcd in the hands of the
people. We have no means of knowing wheth-
er Mr.. Sparrow had any pecuniary interest in
the Treasury loans obtained by these men from
Gibson. Without an interest of some sort, we
are at loss how to account for the relation
which the Republican Investigating Committee
have shown he sustains to Gibson as endorser
for the piratical establishment which has been
nsing the money Of the Treasury to shave the
creditors Of the State and start bogus banks.

loan OF one hundred and seveaty y-one thousand dol

sPARRoW,s REPORT.
Two Faeis---whnl do lhey PrOvel

The Treasury Dedication Report Of MeSsrs
Sparrow and Wright, places great stress on
two principal circumstances which they raisG
against Breslin, tO-wit; Firs-that IN October.
1853, he iailed to pay Immediately on demand
a DRAFT on the State Treasury for $4,000 Sac
0,i-that in the following month of December
he took the necessary steps for obtaining from
county treaSurers enough Of that years taxes to
pay the January interest (Si0I ,OOO) on the
oreign public debt of Ohio.
These two facts instead OF showing that Glib
sons default OF Sjf7,0D was brought upon him
by Breslin, prove simply this and nothing more,
to wit:
l. That Breslin did not keep his money a.
ways in the Treasury where he could pay fifty
thousand dollar DRAFT at moments notice; but
that, on tho contrary he keptit (as 90 COOL de-
Inocrat ought to have done) in banks which
more than once compelled him to await their
own pleasure in making repayment.
2. The fact that Bresln in December, 1850,
male an urgent call on county treasurers for
money to pay the January interest on the for
eign public debt of Ohio, proves that he was a
tohig IN his prdctioe-a mere cQPyiS alter the
whig treasurers who had preceded him. His
action in December, 1886, was in strict confor-
nifty not only to his own uniform custom but to
that of hi predecessor (Bliss,) who was elected
as an abolition whig and is now jealous black
republican. Every year, throughout the nine
years they were in office, both Bliss and Bres-
lin made these drafts on county treasurers, al
though they had plenty of money already on
hand In doing this, they found convenient
pretext in Mr., KCllcys unfortunate law Of 1S45
which e1p essiy authorized the State Treasurer to
collect money from county treasurers without
the knowledge or assent of the State Auditor.
They not only used but abused the authority
which this law gave them. Sparrow's report
shows that except in 1S50and 1851, there was
in the State Treasury on the 10Th of November,
in each year from 1917 to 1855, more than
enough of money to pay the January interest
without calling on county treasurers to make
advances Heec is statement which the re-
port of Sparrow and Wright presents:

FRIEND ALLEN-While coming on the cars
from Cleveland to Wellsville on the morning of
the 22nd inst, a little incident occurred that
it might be we'll to notice. The cars were un-
der coed headway when a calf about two
months old was seen on the track, moving for
ward as fast as his power would permit. Ev-
his perious path, but all to no purpose; he
seemed to think his safety depended on straight
ahead fight. The feins of the Iron Horse were
drawn and his speed mAdc to correspond with
the declining strength of the little animal for a
considerable distance when it was found neces-
sary to bring our impatient fiery steed to dead
halt; while the conductor proceeded with some
assistance to change the course Of the painting
calf
Notwithstanding all this required consdera-
Bile delay, | think every passenger aboard aporo-
we'd the act Every one felt that his own life
was more secure under the care of such con-
ductor, and it would be best for Railroad COM
panies to employ men, as conductors who wo'd
not under any circum stances run over animals
when they could possibly avoid it.
From Cadiz to Cleveland there are several
conductors, (on account of the different roads
and branches) they all seem to be very careful,
consistent mel, and while such control the
movements of the cars, very few accidents oc-
cur. Notwithstanding we had to change cars
several times on the route going and coming not
the slightest jar or accident occurred.

why DOH't the Kidnappers bring
hiHEs back!

The Chase leaders pretend to be very indig-
nant that Breslin cannot be got back from Can
ada under our treaty with England negotiated
by Webster in 1912. This is all fummery.--
They would not for the world that he should
return. Ii they wanted him brought back,
they would soon find in their ranks plenty OF
men who are practiced hands at kidnapping. -
There is nothing to prevent them running him
back to Ohio as readily as they could put a Hen
tuclfy negro into Canada. But they don't want
him back. He was in Columbus for THREE
WEEKS after the dealcation was known, and
yet during all that time neither Chase nor any
member Of his administration took the first
step towards putting him under bonds. His
absence answers them a better purpose than
his presence --NeWagk AdV
