Death of Jacob strader.

We regret to be called upon to announce
the death of this venerable pioneer of the
Steamboat and Railway interests of Cincin-
natl, which took place at his residence about
4 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Capt. Strader came to our city 40 years ago,
from New Jersey, his native State He was
engaged first as a clerk in the house of J. H.
Piatt & Co., and afterwards in their employ
upon the river From this time he rose
rapily in popularity as captain and owner OF
steamboats, upon our western waters.
At an early day in the history of the Lit
tie Miami R. R., Capt Strader became iden-
tilted with its interests. He was Treasurer
of that Company from 1874 until the retire
ment of its venerable first President, Gov.
Morrow, in lS4s, when he was elected Presi-
dent, which position he held until December,
1857, when advancing age caused him to de-
cline reelection, and John KigOur, Esq,
was elected to fill the vacancy. Upon the
death of Mr. Kilgour, in April, 1858, Capt
Strader was again prevailed upon to assume
the Presidency, which he held the remainder
Of that year.
Capt. Strader was also for several years
Presidentof the Commercial Bank, and took
an active part in most Of the public improve
ments of our city.
As business man he was prompt, energet-
ic, and of uncompromising integrity; as a
friend, firm and reliable at all times. His
private charities were numerous and unosten-
tatiously bestowed His death will cause q
void that will be long felt in our community.

The Ward Republican Meetings to appoint
delegates to the County Nominating Conven.
ton, are to be held this evening. The COun-
y Offices 20 be filed are important and valu.
able, and it is Of great moment that the Sc
lection of candidates for each be fairly and
satisfactorily made To secure this desirable
result the meetings for the appointment Of
delegates must be honorably and honestly
conducted, and reflect full expression of the
Republican voters only. That known Dem
ocrats have been solicited aud allowed to vote
in some Of the Wards at former Republican
meetings is notorious, and when the jealous
friends of candidates secure delegation for
fsyOrites through such improper voting, the
fact should be held good cause for rejecting
the delegates so chosen, by the Convention.
The purity Of the primary meetings must be
maintained, or the Convention system in
nominating viii soon lose all binding force
with the Republican party.
To guard as far as possible, against the
reception Of Democratic or illegal votes, q
regular poll list Of voters at primary meet
ings should be kept by the Clerk, and none
be permitted to vote without the name of the
person being recorded. The Judges should
be fair, decided Republicans, who viii see
that votes are not thrown in irregularly, and
by Democrats and non-residents of the Ward.
Sufficient time and pains can be taken to re-
ceive all proper ballots, and no other should
be allowed 70 get in position to be counted.
Our remarks are general, and are intended for
the permanent good of the Republican cause
We need hardly urge upon the Republi-
cans Of the city the importance Of a general
turn ont to the primary meetings this even
ing, and the selection of delegates who will
faithfully represent them in the County Con-
vention, The harmony and success of the
party in CuyahOga much depend on this, a
fact which should stimulate all to leave no
duty unperformed.

oandIdass Doasias and the EnsIish BIIl.

In a recent speech at Columbus the Hon.
s. S. Cox showed up the deceit and treachery
of Douglas on the Kansas question in any
thing but an enviable light. Mr.. Cox is a
Douglas man, and We quote as follows from
the Columbus Fact:
Mr.. Cox said he had been blamed by some
for his vote on the English bill, but he stated
distinctly that he had consulted with Judge
Douglas, and that he had advised and sp-
proved Of the vote. Judge Douglas himself
when the bill came to the Senate, voted
against il, although it was in exactly the
shape in which he had advised his friend Cox
to support it. Here is testimony against
Judge Douglas, which Mr.. Cox got from his
own mouth, to show that a demagogue can
play upon both sides of the same question:
Douglas knew that the vote of Cox would be
necessary to carry the bill through the House
and, therefore, instructed him how to vote.
When it came TO the Senate he knew that
it would pass without his vote, and he voted
against it thus playing upon both sides Of the
question.
The Fact addsthat Mr.. Cox has repeated
these assertions in various places throughout
Ohio. Ofoourse their truth cannot be denied.
What will the roosters who crow Douglas
say to this new revelation Of his disgusting
treachery.

A Now Adversnry for GorlbuIdI.

Austria surrendered Lombardy because she
had no longer powerto to hold it, and when the
Grand Duchies and the Romagna were an
nexed to Sardinia, she formally protested
Her protest frankly admitted that only her
debts and discomfort within, and diplomatic
troubles without, prevented her from inter
posing, as she otherwise assuredly would,
with an army.
But she has now in a measure surmounted
her difficulties having regained the friend
ship of Russia, renewed her alliance with
Prussia, strengthened her claims on Germany,
effected a National loan, and quelled the in
surrectionary spirit in her provinces. It is
quite likely, therefore, that she may interfere,
as she threatens, to stop the conquering ca
reer of Garibaldi.
Besides, there is point somewhere at
which she must take up. arms. To let Naples
fall is to imperil Rome, and when both are
gone, viii not Venetia follow Having lost
Yenetia, can she long hold Hungary 1t is
question of life and death for her Empire.
She must fight or see it torn into fragments.
Hence she has demanded from Piedmont an
explanation OF Garibaldis letter threatening
Yenetia, and is reported to be preparing to
take sides with the King of Naples in defend
ing the continental part of his dominions,
the only part now left hin.-AJb0ay JoVr.

western Riyer DI.nster..

1t is so long since the Democracy sold of
the River Snag and Dredge Boats and refused
to appropriate dollar for the improvement
and security of lives and property on the
Western Rivers, that they now bristle with
dangers to both. The list of disasters for the
present year has already assumed terrible
proportions. In the past six months upwards
of one hundred lives have been lost, and
property to the value ofone million and half
of dollars destroyed. OF the boats lost no
less than forty-four were snagged, and twen-
ty others were lost or crippled in storms
Three exploded and seventeen were burned
One hundred and nineteen barges, coal boats,
and other fat boats have been lost by storm.
The Democratic policy, controlled as it is
by the South, is hostile to all appropriations
by the General Government for Harbor and
River improvements. This has been demon
strated year after year by acts, until the sub
iect is completely ignored in the platforms of
the party. The Tonnage Tax scheme of Mr..
Douglas, by whichhe proposes to completely
cripple all Lake and River commerce, is the
only Democratic alternative presented.
Why don't the Douglas organs about the
Lakes and Rivers now bring prominently
forward the Tonnage measure Of the Little
Giant and urge it as one of his strong claims
on the people for the If sutfrages in NOvem-
Der? Why "agitate" the oft settled Slavery
question and nothing else

The New York American State Council al
its meeting in Schenectady, August 2sth, got
into an " "irrepressible conflict" on the Presi-
dental question, and became divided Coun-

gates then endorsed the DOuglas-Beu fusion
electoral ticket, and after appointing officers,
adopting resolutions &C., adjourned with
three cheers for the Union ticket.
The Convention of the seeding Ameri-
cans organized, and was addressed by Gen.
Scroggs and others. Resolutions were adopt
ed repudiatng :" the late shameless attempt
at bargain and sale Of the American vote to
a Democratic faction" and the Convention
adopted the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The Americans have no nominees
for President and Vice President; and
whereas, it is not deemed advisable to nom
mate an American State ticket therefore,
ResoIUed, That the Americans of the State

take the starch out Of our Western cities in
their numerical estimates. Even our pros
porous neighbors of the Ancient City of the
Straits used to brag about some 1000 peo-

PROBABLE WAR BETWEEN SPAIN AND MEXICO.

Z
By the last arrival from Vera Cruz, letters
from high authorities at that place, contain
ing exceedingly important intelligences, were
received here. Their contents which were
of highly exciting nature have been COM
municated to US by persons every way wor-
| thy Of credit. We have already noticed the
| fact, that the Spanish Commander at Vera
Cruz had made demand on the Constitution
al Government for the restoration of the
bark Conception, and that the demand had
been rejected by President Juarez 1t now
appears that this demand was made in per-
emptory form, and accompanied with threat
of immediate hostiIities in case the demand
should not be complied with in twenty-four
hours.
In consequence of this threat and the an
ticipation that it would be followed by some
practical demonstration on the part of the
Spanish squadron, the Constitutional Govern
ment Immediately made preparations for de-
tense. Everything was placed in readiness to
repel the expected ATTACK. The guns were
kept loaded, the artillerymen at their posts,
the garrison under arms, and the people Of
the town were set to work preparin ammu-
ton. AT the last accounts it was xpected
momentarily that the Spanish feet would
commence bombardment.
We are informed that the greatest enthusi-
asm prevailed among the population of the
city. So far from dreading the attslck, it
was universally desired that the Spanish feet
should carry its threat into execution.
This feeling was produced and stimulated
by the confidence that the United States would
embrace the opportunity of coming to the as
sistance of the Constitutional Government.
In fact Immediately on, the occurrence of
these events, President Juarez dispatched let
ters to this country, which have since gone
on to Washington, and have before this time
been laid before the Administration, asking
American assistance, or at least the priv
ilege Of raising volunteers, and procuring
arms and munitions of war within our terri
tory.
There can be no doubt, likewise, that,
should our Government, through these means,
become involved in difficulties with Spain,
an excellent opportunity would be afforded
for realizing our Cuban aspirations. It is
moreover, that the Juarez Gov
in case it gets into war with Spain.
will not eonfne its efforts to purely defensive
operations. If it can possibly raise the re-
luisite means, and forces, it will fit out an
expedition against Cuba. In such an event. /
t would not be advantageous for us that the
possession of that Island should be transferred
rom the unfriendly Government of Spain, u ,
he friendly Government of Mexico.
