Treasury DefalcatiOn Investigation.

Some months ago it was announced with an
air of authority from Columbus, that Breshn,
the great Treasury robber who was permitted
by the Franklin county officers of the law to
flee to Canada, and where he still snaps his
fingers in the face of Justice,was about to make
clean breast of it and disclose his accomplices.
The report was probably ruse to make the
implicated shell out more freely for the support
of the Canadian gentleman, who lives at his
ease at Hamilton, while the taxpayers of Ohio
sweat to make up the half million deficiency
caused by the rasealities of the brOthers-in-law
State Treasurers. -.-..
The Legislature lastwinter appointed anoth-
er Committee to ferret out the Treasury defal-
cation, but what their success has been has not
been made public The Journal says " the
Committee are now in session in the Capitol,
and have summoned Mr.. Borland, father-in-law
of Breslin, to appear before them" 1t is GER
tainly most extraordinary that the State should
be robbed of over half million of money, and
yet year after year pass away without punish
ment of the known raseals engaged in the stu
pendous defalcation. The horse thief or coun-
terfeiter of ten cent piece, is shown no such
distinguished leniency

Agricultural Convention and Tobacco.


We are glad to record that the late Agricul-
tural Convention, at Columbus, did not favor
premiums for the best crop of that dirtiest and
most injurious weed grown on the face of the
earth-Tobacco. We clip from the Journals
report:
Mr.. Green offered a resolution instructing the
State Boatd to offer premium for the best to-
bacco crop raised in Ohio
1t was moved to amend by inserting, and for
the best whisky; but on request, the whisky
amendment was Withdrawn so as to afford
fair debate and square vote on the naked ques-
ton.
MIR. Green supported his resolution in an ear
nest speech, wherein he remarked that it was
the almighty dollar we were all after, and that
it has been proved that the tobacco crop was
very lucrative one, and as such should be en-
couraged.
Mr.. Jay, of Delaware, said that he had been
where he could enjoy the fresh air of heaven,
and was opposed to having it cloud d and nau-
seated by tobacco smoke He could show the
gentleman from Hamilton a quicker way of
making money than raising tobacco even. Why
don't the gentleman offer a premium for the
most expert thimble rigger, or dice plumper
they too are after the almighty dollar and gen.
orally get it, and should surely be encouraged
The question was further discussed by
Messrs. Ladd, Strichle, Millikin and others,
against, and Green and Gen. Loudon in favor
of the resolution. On the vote being taken, the
question was lost by decided majority.

The Amistad Case---sInye Legislation.

The very first day of the session, Mr.. Mason,
of Virginia. introduced the Slavery subject, by
moving that " a bill to idemnify the masters
and ow4ers of the Spanish schooner Amistad
and her cargo" be made the special order of
the day for Tuesday The bill was No. IA on
the calendar, and before they were warm in
their seats the Southern members and their
Northern Democratic allies gave the bill pre-
cedence over all others, by vote of yeas "a,
nays 10, Mr. Broderick being the only Demo-
crat from the Free States who had independ-
ence enough to vote with the Republicans.
The Amistad case first came before Congress
so long ago that some may have forgotten the
circumstances of the claim. Many years since
Spanish schooner set sail with a large cargo
of freshly caught Congoes on board, who had
been illegally landed in Cuba few days before,
and were now to be taken to another point on
the same island When fairly at sea, the Ne
groes rose, killed the captain, took possession
of the vessel, and made the other owners prom
ise to take them back to Africa, the home from
which they had been stolen. But the Span
iards broke faith, and ran the vessel up the
American coast to Long Island, where she
was overhauled and taken into Connecticut
port. The matter was brought into the Courts,
and the Supreme Court of the United States
decided that the slave trade being piracy, the
Negroes were justifable in releasing them
selves if they could, and that they were enti-
tied to do Just what white men would do under
like circumstances. They were pronounced
free, and the Negroes were sent back to Africa.
But the Spanish owners were not satisfied with
this summary disposition of the human proper
ty they had stolen, and through their Govern
ment demanded compensation for the free men
they had not been able to keep and sell. This
is the Amistad case.
The impudent claim, settled BY the Supreme
Court by giving freedom to the negroes, has
been u1ged upon Congress by every Democratic
President since, and is the very first matter
brought up by the Southern Democrats the
present session. In the Dred Scott case, De-
mocracy claims that the decision of the Su-
preme Court is fnal-in the Amistad, that
Congress should go beyond the Supreme Court
to pay Spanish pirates the price of stolen hu-
man flesh and blood, freed by its own strong
right arm.
The Presidents oYerweening desire to pur-
chase Cuba by increasing the public debt
hundred and fifty millions, is the key to the hot
haste to propitiate Spain by the payment of
her paltry claim. 1t is expected that the Court
of Spain will be Modified by yielding to her
Amistad demand, and be put in better mood to
sstruck and dicker' off her Island of Slaves to
the great Slave Republic of Christendom. We
shall see.

SHOCKING OccURRENCE.-The carelessness of
parents in leaving small children alone during
their absence from home, sometimes meets with
terrible retrlbution. On the Sd inst, Mrs.
Heald, in Richland, Marion county, visited a
relative, taking with her two children and leav-
ing two at home. In the evening Mr.. Heald
left the children alone to preach in the neigh
borhood. Before s O'Clock neighbors discov-
cred the house to be on fire, and the children,
one and the other years of age, perished in
the flames before aid could reach them.

Tbe OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES sham

A few weeks ago the President issued yer-
million ediet against the Nicaragua Filibusiers
and their Chief which was followed by sham
demonstrations at Mobile, the head quarters OF
the pirate gang, by numerous Government otfi-
Gals The sailing of a cargo of emigrants was
intercepted, and Walker himself disappeared for
a short season, but soon returned to his flibus-
ter labors. Though the city of Mobile swarm
ed with the men and officers Of the expedition,
nobody was arrested, and no efficient steps were
taken to break up the unlawful fOray upon Mic
araeua The opposition by the Government
was sham, and bald one at that. The Proc
Iamation was wind for the people who dislike
the outrages Walker has so oft repeated without
being brought to justice by our Government,
and was never intended to be enforced against
nybody who would aid in stirring up broil
with Nicaragua. The spirit of the Presidents
Message shows this, and excuses the inefhcien-
cy of the Administration officials at Mobile.
See the results. The Federal authorities were
SO sleepy and powerless, that the steamer
Fashion, which left Mobile on the LIST of Dec,
professedly for Texas, carried out large num-
Der of Walkers men, arms and ammunition to
the filibusters' rendezvous somewhere IN the
Florida Keys. On the sih, the schooner Susan
with l4O ilibusters for Nicaragua, well pro-
viIed with provisions and munitions of war,
sailed out of Mobile Bay unmOlested, the re-
venue cutter sent to watch and stop her, having
conveniently got aground in Navy Cove, just IN
the nick of time to favor the Susan. Worse
still, the cutter ran up with the schooner while
in the Bay, put on board Liect. White, of the
Revenue service, but instead of OBTAINING the
desperadoes, gave them parting gun so aimed
as to do no damage, and the Susan got to sea
with the u s. Lieut.. White on board, and like
ly as not in command. This feat accomplished,
the Cutter MeClelIand ran aground, and before
she was got afoat, the ilibuster schooner was
four hundred miles away.
1t is quite likely that the filibusters will be
intercepted by British vessels, and already the
note of war with England is sounded from |
Washington, if John Bull Presumes to stop the
flibusters Uncle Sam sends out to make war
upon the affrighted and feeble power of Mica
ragua. The Proclamation of President Buchan-
an was regarded as a sham in many quarters,
and was correctly understood by none better
than by the brigand Walker himself.

Though the Grand Jury of Charleston refus-
ed to find bills of indictment against the slavers
of the Echo, the prisoners are still in "durance
vile" The Judges of the U S. District Court
have pronounced the law of 1920 for the sup
preston of the Slave Trade to be constitu-
tiOnal and the prisoners taken on board the
SLAYER Echo, have been remanded to Jail again,
to await the action of the Grand Jury, at the
next term of the Cou t, on q charge of piracy.
