Gently returned from Washington where
he has been enjoying a little recreation
from his editorial labors. The Patriot
did noble service during the late Presi-
DENTAL campaign. Rumor says brother
Gill will be appointed United States
Marshal for the Northern District of
Ohio. As editors make good officers
we have no hesitation in saying that he
will make q first rate Marshall Zere-
land PLaindeaIer.

People of the Northern District will
respond-"good! good for the cause
good, because Tho people have security

COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN AF.
PAIRS,

The announcements, a few days since,
by telegraph, that Col. JAMES B. SrEED,
A had succeeded to the place of Col
MENYPENNY, as Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, was premature. The rumor
now is, that Ex- Congressman DENVER,
of California, was appointed the Com
missioner on Saturday last. Private
advices from Washington confirm this
rumor.
Col. SgEEDMAN is one of the LIVE De-
mocraey of Ohio. We know of no one
who has within him more of vitality
more of the elements Of usefulness
more ardent devotion to the Democratic
cause,-and, what is something in these
times, more uuwaveriDg fidelity to
friends. We should rejoice, in common
with his legions of enthusiastic friends
in Ohio. to see him appointed to a po-
si.ion commensurate with his freely ed
mitted services and qualifications.
