The Ohio Statesman contained saw
age article on GRAY, of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, the other day, in the
course of which it charged him with be-
ing a sort of political beggar on horse
back, Gray comes back after this man.
ner:
We never played the "beggar" but
twice in our life. The first time was
when we spent two weeks time and
considerable money, all our own, in
Columbus, begging votes of a Demo,
cratic Legislature to make this same
conceited gentleman a United States
Senator We had seen very large men
made out of very small material, and
we thought it could be done again,
but the Democrats said that che was
too id small" The next "beggiug
we did was with General Pierce, to make
this would-be Senator First Assistant
Postmaster General. We begged it and
legged it in Washington for four weeks,
and by dint Of dogging the President
night and day, with at last but one as
sociate to help, got him the Commits
sionership Of Indian affairs, which il
was thought was better adapted to his
savage aud dictatorial disposition. He
soon quarrelod with everybody in his
Department, and when he left Washing
ton was hardly on speaking terms with
soul in the city. When he assumed
control Of the Statesman we knew this
ancient aud iucurablo infrnity would
break out in some viruleut form, aud
it has done so.

DIDN'T LIKE THE CLmATE.-Itw will
be remembered by our readers that in
October last, a colored man by the
name of Oliver Anderson, was kidnap-
ped in our neigboring city, Chilicothe,
and forcibly hurried off to Kentucky
and doomed to slavery (for a short
time) Anderson, it seems, did not
like the climate, neither did the queer
ways of the people in sold KentUcEy'
suit his notions as it regards the EHL
matter of personal rights, so Ander-
son concluded to emigrato northward,
and as he did not like to travel alone,
he took his brother and another black
chattel with him for company. The
Columbus journal says they arrived
in that city per Underground Rail,
road, on Friday morning, and are now
enjoying the exhilerating breozes Of a
Canadian Winter.
