na-We know nothing of the merits of the
controversy referred to in the above, copied
from the Statesman; but as regards Mr.. RICE
as 4 MAN, we unhesitatingly say, that, although
a Republican, and having, as We believe, I'M
fortunate political principles and associations,
he possesses answering integrity. We will
guarantee that he never obtained a dollar from
a public. Treasury or a man, to which he was
not Justly entitled. The only mistake made
by Mr.. RICE is, his identifying himself with
the Republicans, We hope that he may wake
up one Of these days, and emerge from the
eden of thieves with which he is associated

Letter nom H.. Rice.

EDIToB OF STATESMAN SIR: Perfect
fairness, it seems to nae, requires that it should
be stated, that of the sum Of over thirteen hum
dred dollars which you say 1 drew from the
Treasury last year for services, the item of S205
10 was for work done years ago, under appoint
ment of DR.. Trevitt, then Secretary of State,
all of which was lone re vieus to 1859, al
though the pay was not drawn until that year;
that a part of the amount which you say 1 drew
for services in the Governors office, was for
incidental expenses, drawn in my name, to be
sure, but in which / had no interest whatever;
and that you oyerstate one of the items to the
amount of SIS, as l estimate it.
X Yours. &c. r. T.. RICE

sin Running In Debt.

In these days of profound peace and good
crops, the Democratic Administration contin-
ues to pile up the National Debt. The folly
Of not providing by revision of the tariff
for an increase Of the revenue to meet the ex-
penses of the Government is every day be-
coming more apparent for at every large port
Of entry the books show a great decrease in
the revenue, amounting, at New York during
the last quarter, to 81 800, 900, and at Boston
to s3ll, 900, rs compared with the same quar-
ter last year.
A Washington dispatch says these figures
efectuslly explode Mr.. CObb's estimates of an
increased revenue under the present tariff, and
it viii be q labor more severe than that Of
Sisyphus for him 70 explain in his next An
nual Report the blunders that he has commit
ted, and the difference between his estimates
and the results The financial policy of this
Administration has been truly a miserable
one, and the next Administration will find
the country saddled with a useless and IN
necessary debt Such are the legacies left
behind them by economical -Cl Democratic
Administrations.

Iames Warroner Proved Free.

Readers viii recOIlect the brutal kidnapping
of James Waggoner from Ohio some months
ago, the running of him by his captors to
Kentucky, his incarceration in a jail of that
State, and his subsequent sale into slavery
by the sheriff Of Newport on the 9th of June
last for the cost of bis keeping in prisonl-
The case was one forcibly illustrating the
. barbarism of slavery and its demoralizing
influences on beings bearing the form and
color Of white men.
His suit for freedom came up before the
Circuit Court in Newport on the 18TH and it
was clearly established that tie alleged fugi-
tive was born in 1910, in Brown county
Ohio, Of free parents. The Court took time
to consider its decision whether the free citi-
zen'of this State shall be again permitted to
enjoy the liberty slavery has for nearly a year
defrauded him Of

Charles WaggOner a free man-free to go

since he was sold in Kentucky on the auction
block as a slavel How is he to obtain
justice for the wrongs done to him by the
aecursed institution of human slavery?

Lnhor ne na,la d yTeaIth.


The Detroit Advertiser well illustrates this
fact by practical demonstration at home
It saws 'iron ore is worth not more than two
or three dollars at most per ton. When
worked into railroad or bar iron, it is worth
forty-6ve to sixty dollars per ton. This vast
difference between the raw and manufactured
material, shows that the principal value Of
iron arises from the labor expended upon it,
The difference between the Democratic par
ty and the Republican party, is s.simply this :
They would have all the labor done in Eng
land, while the Republicans would have it
done here at home, by our own laborers.-
Over forty dollars for every ton Of iron made
would be paid TO american laborers under
Republican policy, and under Democratic
it would be paid to English laborers. Thus,
ifthe Wyandotte Rolling Mills manufactured
ten thousand tens of iron per annum, they
would pay out for labor during that time, iu
one shape or another four hundred thousand
dollars. But if the company had not been
able to carry on the works in consequence Of
the free trade policy of the Douglas party,
this amount would all have gone to England,
and our laborers, whom they have employed,
would have remained idle. This is Michigan

Ward for his efforts, with those Of Others, to

Capt E. B. Ward is the well known steam
commodore of the Lakes, and has done very
much toward developing and fostering the
commerce and resources of the Northwest
He recently published a tariff pamphlet. and
has since been made the subject of abuse by
the Douglas organ of Detroit. Inreply, Capt.
Ward states that his education was obtained
in a cheap common school, where most Of
our workingmen are educated, and that he
has worked with that class of people ever
since, and he thus conclusively sums up the
reasons why he is now opposed to modern
Democracy and its measures. He says:
am hostile to them because they oppose a
protective tariff, because they oppose harbOr
Improvements, because they oppose the home
stead bill, because they steal the public mon
ey to pay for partizan votes and partizan pa
pers, and their partizan papers and leaders
neither prosecute the offenders nor condemn
their acts.
am opposed to them because their CON-
mercial and financial policy is hostile to
American industry, American shipping, and

Joined the slave power to crush the interests
of free men, and to extend slavery where

Cruelry in nn EnrlIsh seminn,.r.


The English papers received by the last
steamer give lengthy reports ofthe trial of a
gentleman named Hopley, Principal of a fash
ionable Seminary, who was convicted, in
London, Of the murder of one of his pupils,
named Reginald Channel CanceIlor, for whose
board and tuition he was receiving one thou
sand dollars. 1t is asserted that the instruc-
tor mistook the mental condition of the lad.
and attributed his stupidity, really caused by
water on the brain, to obstinacy, and under
took to beat him into brighter mental con-
dition. What befel the poor lad we give in
the report ofthe TINES:
"One morning young CanceIlor was found
dead in his bed. The body was carefully
covered over. 1t had white kid gloves upon
It's hand, and long stockings drawn far up over
the thighs; nothing was visible but the face.
Hopley suggested that the boy had died of
disease Of the heart, and wished a certificate
from the surgeon, and immediate burial. At
one moment it appeared likely that the whole
affair would be hushed up. But mysterious
stories of midnight shrieks and lood.stained
instruments of punishment began to be whis-
pered about. The servants had seen blood
upon the linen in Mrs. Hopley's room. and
had heard sounds, which convinced them that
the miserable wife had spent the night in the
frightful task Of preparing the body to pass a
superficial investigation, and in getting rid of
the traces of violence, which would testify
against her husband
Than cauna the rsoI ;,,-o-4s,.,t.o- M
gloves and the stockings were stripped of.
and the legs and arms ofthe corpse were found
to be covered with eXtravasated blood, the
cellular membranes under the skin of the
thighs were reduced to q perfect jelly-in fact
all torn to pieces and lacerated by the blows
that had been inflicted. There were two
holes IN the right leg about the size of a six.
pence and an inch deep, which appeard to have
been made by jabbing thick stick into the
flesh. The appearance was that of a human
creature who had been mangled by an infllri-
ated and merciless assailant. All these an
pearancesl coincided but too faithfully with
what was now learned Of the conduct
of the schoolmaster. A servant girl who
slept next to the pupils room, heard the
boy crying and screaming under blows. and
her master talking and beating. She listen
ed at ten o'clock, when the torture was going
on, and she awoke at twelve and it was still
proceeding. Then the cries suddenly ceased,
and nothing after was heard during that un-
quiet night but the stealthy movements of the
wife, who was, with womsnly devotion, doing
her fearful task of hiding the traces of.the
tragedy The trial resulted in the conYic-
uon OF Hopley, who was sentenced to four
years penal servitude.

Horrible Outrage BY a Desperate.


The Morristown Tntelligencer contains the
following account of the outrages committed
by dissipated Tennessee desperate, and his
deserved death by a party of citizens. Il
says
We have rarely heard of a more diaboli-
cal and fendish outrage than the one perpe-
trated yesterday. eight miles above this place,
and two miles above Russelville, in Hawkins
county. 1t seems that a man, or rather de-
mon, by the name of Joshua Ballard, armed
himself with a scythe blade, and started from
his home with the intention of murdering Q
some person. The first man he encountered
was Mr.. Bewley; but it appears that Bew-
ley escaped without material injury. He
then went to the house of a Mr.. Horner, and
told him he intended to kill him, and COM
menced cutting him with his scythe blade
Horner received eight severe wounds upon
the head and other parts of his person. We
are informed that he cannot possibly survive
Ballard then went to the house of Mrs.
Robinson: she saw him coming and closed
the door. Ballard, however, broke the door
down, went in, hauled her from under the
bed, and inflicted several severe wounds up
on her: she by some means escaped from
him. Not satisfied, he commenced upon two
of her children, inficting several gashes up
on their bodies.
By this time several of the neighbors col
lected to take him, but Ballard swore he
would not be taken, and started in a run for
his home; he was hotly pursued, however,
and barely reached his house, and secreted
himself in the cabin loft, when he was fred
upon through the cracks between the logs
There was bag of cotton in his loft, which
he used to screen himself from the bullets,
and our informant, gentleman of Yeracity,
says that some seventy-fve shots were fired
before he was killed. He stood and cursed
his pursuers till he fell dead. His mother
also stood in the yard during the time swear
ing she would send the whole party to HI
before she was done with them.
1t appears that Ballard was a desperate
character-addicted to strong drink and all
kinds of dissipation. He was the champion
of the neighborhood, and most men were
afraid to encounter him single-handed. We
saw him engaged in row with the Irish in
this place some five years ago, and he made a
party of about twenty of them leave the street.
We are opposed to lynching a man, but in
this case there was no alternative.

The Heenan Festival in New York.


New Workers have just given an ovation
to muscle. Heenan and the boxing boys
held a carnival at Jones Wood, which was
attended by thirty thousand spectators. A
ring after the manner of that occupied by
Heenan and Savers at FsrnhaznpsAEllg on m
which Aaron Jones and Ned Price, Cusick
and Jack MDonald, and the Benicia Boy and
Prof. Ottignon delighted the multitude of
muscle men and women. Heenan is de-
scribed as very lively, and during all the con-
tests acted like young giant at play. He
laughed goOd-humOredly, and seemed to en-
joy the sport quite as much as anybody else.
AT the close of the last round the Champion
was presented with purse containing $40. 600
the sum total of the contributions to the
Heenan fund. The Boy tried to make a
speech Of acknowledgment but failed after
saying "Thank you" He and his trainer
in England were also presented with "prize
rings" After a similar gladiatorial enter
tainment in Philadelphia, the Benicia Boy
will make professional tour of the United
States, to the edi6cation of shoulder-hitters,
prize-fghters, and the people who like ova-
tons to muscle-mauling.

Republieau Congressional convention.


The Convention held at PainesviIe on the
l7thinst. was fully attended by delegates from
all the Wards and Townships OF Cuyahoga,
Geauga and Lake counties; intelligent, earnest,
and substantial men and Republicans
Though there were FIVE candidates in the field
for the ominatiou-Messrs WADE, BAcEUs,
R1DDLE and PAINE Of Cuyahoga, and Mr.
Wmcox Of Lake-the friends Of each Jealous
for the success Of their favorite, the contest
engendered no bitterness, but resulted in per-
feet harmony and hearty unanimous NOM
nation of the Hon. Albert G. RIDDLE Of
CuyahOga.
As soon rs the business Of the Convention
was concluded the mass Of people crowding
the Court House adjourned to the Square,
when Mr.. RIDDLE in brief happy manner,
expressed his acknowledgements for the mark
of confidence and honor conferred, and de-
clared that the Republican standard entrusted
to his hands should never be lowered or tar
nished. he was followed by Messrs. WADE,
BAcKus, PAINE and WILCOX, who pledged to
the nominee their earnest and efficient sup
port and paid high and deserved tribute to
his integrity, talents and personal worth
The applause was earnest the delegates and
people endorsing with the heart and judg-
meut the sentiments expressed. A resolution
approving the course of the Hon. EDWARD
WADE, who has so ably and faithfully repre-
sented this district for four terms, was unan-
imously adopted.
The nomination of Mr.. RIDDLE will be
most cordially endorsed by the Republicans
Of this district. They know him well. His
life from early childhood has been spent
among them. He grew to manhood in Geau.
ga county, commenced thepractice of law in
Chardon, and ten years ago removed to Guy
ahOga, and took position in the front rank Of
the Cleveland Bar. His old Geauga neigh
bors, the men, as one of the honest, intelli-
gent farmers expressed it, who " had new
er known Mr.. RIDDLE as boy or man to be
guilty of mean action paid him the high
compliment Of unanimous vote of the
County on every ballot Like Honest Old
Abe" the neighbors who know him best and
longest stick by him the closest and the Peo-
pie Of the whole district will ratify their
judgment by rolling up a majority of some
four thousand for Mr.. RIDDLE on the second
Tuesday of October.
