LOCOFOCO STEALINGS,

ESaspersted at the unfairness and meanuess OF
the Slave Democracy press in attempting to throw
the responsibility Of the enormous dedication in
the State Treasury, from the shoulders Of their
own party, where 1t has Ieen Enthusiastically fixed,
and charge 1t upon the Republicans, the o. s.
Journal INDUCES in the following truthful train
of reflections on the subject:
ave can show where Gov. Medill has paid men
for personal services to himself aud party out Of
the public treasury. We can show where locofo.
co parers in this city have been printed on State
paper; where the military arms Of the State have
been sold by locofoco officials, in one instance to
the amount of sixteen hundred dollars, and the
money never paid into the Treasury. We can
show how the peoples money was take2 by the
handful to snrich corrupt contractors on the State
House aud Lunatic Asylums and how men who
had charge of the Ohio Penitentiary distracted
the pubIicamoneys in manner that would have
disgraced some of the convicts over whom they
had charge Many of these facts stand recorded
on tue imperishable records Of the General Assem-
bly,, and the others, we believe, are susceptible Of
being proved by rdisputable testimony before any
court Of justice.
We commend the gentry who are now trying to
blacken the fair name of one of the noblest men
that the people of Ohio ever honored with their
confidence, to husband their resources, and not 10
presume any further upon the forLeamnce of;ther
opponents. The men who are now endeavoring to
turn the current of public indignation frIm its
proper channel into directions devious aud winding
that they may escape from the consequences OF
their own acts. and thus screen the guilty, and
wrong the innocent know full well the hue of
the catalogue which is written against them, and
it is only the common trick of the detected crimi.
nal who hopes to escape by joining the hue and
cry of stop thief which they are now attempting
to palm off upon the public"
Our Slave Democracy friends would do well to
lay these home truths to heart Urbanna Ga.

NATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE LADIES,

Iftbe ladies have not all the rights they claim,
they certainly enjoy extraordinary privileges For
them the most beautiful and fragile gifts Of nature
are converted into perpetual Injuries by the aid of
science and of art. For them the South prOdu-
ces its flowers timetable sweetness, and chemis'
uy calamity extracts the fragrance and presents 1t
in an available form for the dressing room, and
the boudoir. Par example, here we have before US
bottle of that Florida Water, without which the
appliances of no lady's toilet in Spanish america,
are considered complete And our own beauties,
it would seem, have taken their cue from Their
Southern sisters, for everywhere Murray d Ian
mans Florida Water is becoming the fashionable
perfume of the age. Eau de Cologne has had its
day in this country, and now, it would seem, this
newer perfume, distilled from the richly scented
blossoms and plants of Florida, is to take its place
This is as it should be. A product of our own
land, equal or superior to any exotic rival, ought
to receive preference in the American market.
Germany has no flowers that can match in fra
GRANGE with these of the 'sweet South" and all
that science could do TO concentrate and eernalze
that fragrance has been accomplished in this home
manufactured luxury. We have tested the dura'
bity of this perfume as compared with that of
the Eau de Cologne, and find that the advantage
is on the side Of the native product Tastes vary
but 400 prefer the odor of Murray d Lanman's
Florida Water to that of the Prussian article, and
ladies inform US that it has all the reyiving and
restorative properties attributed to the latter. Un-
der such circumstances, It's popularity is quite nat
uraI, and who knows but it may one day be sold
as leading perfume in Europe, just as the Maria
Farn was sold in this country as the only vaua'
bic toilet water, prior t. the introduction of this
delightful Floral essence.-N Y. Home journal

SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

Southern men and their northern allies often
behay, by single act, how heartess they arc in
their professed devotion to southern interests. 1t
is natural to suppose that these men, if honest in
their politics, regard slavery as benifcent insti-
tution-especially so to the white race--that it is
good both in its moral and pecuniary results and
that free society, in the language of the Richmond
Enquirer, is indeed failure. Such being their
proessed belief it would I've rational to expect that
their private practice would correspond with their
political dOgmas and their public acton-that sla,
very being good and benefeent institution and
free society failure, they would not only seek to
extend ard strengthen the former by their Votes
in Congress, but that their investments in real
estate would be made under the shadow of the
benign institution, and that they would be the last
men to become the owners Of soil over which free
society extends in its paralyzing sway. Yet the
fact is exactly the reverse. Instead of nvestiga.
ting their money under the shadow of the insti.
tuition they do so much to FOSTER they bring al
their spare means to the free States for investment
While bawling themselves hoarse 10 their advocacy
of the peculiar institution, and while laborina
with unceasing effort to strengthen its power and
extend it over new fields, their ageuts are quietly
traversipg the free States and Territories making
jIorss purchases Of real estate out Of which the

money of the State.
This morning the Co urt met at 81 o'clock.
Mr.. Gibson's Attorneys moved that he be admit
ted to bail, claiming that he was not really guilty

they had been returned to the State, which fact
was admitted by the Prosecuting Attorney and
that in this case the amount of bail should be fix
ed only at such sum as would secure his attend
