CHAsEs REckLEssNEss. In Governor
Chase's Cincinnati speech, he boldly de-
clares that not a single dollar of the pub
lie money has been wrongfully used by
any officer of the Republican State ad,
m~inistration. This declaration is made
in the face of the fact, that Chase's FIRST
Attorney General (Kimball,) establish
cd and conducted a brokers' Office in the
city of Cleveland on thirty thousand
dollars of public money loaned to him
by the defaulter Gibs9n!. For the proof
of his loan, see the report of Taylor,

That the present corrupt, Treasury-rob.
bling dynasty, have INCREASED the
expenses of Government to three ham
dred and Joar thousand, one hundred
and forty-threc dollars MORE than

Let the people knoto, that the present
negro equality party, made the Ohio
Life and Trust Company the agent of
the State in New York, and voted down
the Democratic amendment to have the
Trus, Company give security.
Tell 1t c~reryachere, that the Demo

keep the State funds, where Banks, Bro

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Banks Dead and Dying.

The Bank crash continuesl The
"besom of destruction" is among them |
Instead of publishing a list of the dead
and dying, it will soon occupy much less
space to publish a list of those alive and
kicking They have all got to break.
It is their manifest destiny. It is only
a question of time with the present sur
vivors. Many more than are numbered
in the following list are in fact drad,
but have not had the misfortune to be
rstn against and pusched over.
As these corporations, like dead men,
tell no tales, we, outsiders know nothing
cf their secrets. We cannot tell when
they are going to die nor how dead they
are after their demise. Some of them
are good and some are bad. No value
can be fixed for some time to The pic
tured trash and we publish thcir names
only to warn aur readers to let them
aloue. For instance, the bills oil
the Canal Bank of Cleveland, aud
the Seneca County Bank at Tifin,
arc to be taken for State taxes this fall
and of course are worth their face for
that purpose but it is not at all pr ba-
bic they will be so received another
year.
The following list has been carefully
prepared after a consultation with our
leading Bankers and Brokers.
New England Banks are not touched
because they are distant and not much
known about them. Virginia is not
taken because they are considered doubt
full. AL the now specie paying Banks
are repudiatsd and MS they suspend day
by day it is impossible to give anything
like a full and reliable list.

Another Outrage of the
late Black Republican
GeCicla4uro


Among other outrages of the rcpubli-
can legislation last winter, was an attempt
TO virtually d~isfranchise a large portion
of those who have heretofore enjoyed the
elective franchise, by throwing obstruc-
items in the way of the Exercise of that
sacred right by the LAB BORN G
WHITE MEN OF OHIO.
This law occupies pages 1876, 1877 and
1873 in the volume of Laws for 1857.
It requires that aperson shall be ian
actual resident of the county for thirty
days next preceding the election, and
an actual resident of tho township or
ward tacenty days mex preceding the
election" The penalty for violating
this law of a ''bogus legislature" is i'm
~prisonment in the Penitentiary not more
than three years, nor less than one year,
The object of this Law is palpablo.-
1t is a blow al II Pco WHITE MEN,oT
ONO IF they cannot degrade and
cheaper the elective franchise by allow
ing NEGROES to vote, they viii dis
franchise WHITE MEN.
There are at least ten thousand while
laboripg men in Ohio engaged in manu-.
featuring aud similar e~mployments, wht
are migratory, on account of the unsta
BILE character Of their employment, whc
will be disfranchised by this law. "THE
RICH AND THE WELL BORN" as the faith
err. of the Republican party claimed
themselves to be, are generally stable
being fixed upon their possessions.
"THE TURBULENT Democracy" on the
other hand, as they characterize those
who depend upon labor for their daily
bread, are by this law, to a large extent
robbed of their birth-right, and virtual
" thrust into the same pew with ne.

four hundred dollars was subscribed for that
purpose. A committee was appointed to
obtain further subscriptions and To look ou.

This measure merits the hearty co-operu-

effort and all can share The pleasures and
benefits TO result from its success. Aside
from it's religious and moral advantages, lis
importance as an item of Improvement TO
