said to Mr.. Douglas:
"Do you know the clergymen Of this city,
To which Mr.. Douglas replied:
"Nearly every one Of them"
Mr.. Rhodes-Do Won wish to have either or
any of them call to see you to converse upon re.
ligious subjects?
Mr.. Douglas-No, thank you.
Soon ater this, about fVe o'cIock. he desired
to have his position in bed changed, the blinds
opened and the windows raised. Mr.. Rhode
lifted him to an easier posture, where he could
look out upon the street, and drink the fresh
morning air. For few moments he seemed
to gain new life, Then he began to sink away;
his eyes partially closed, and in slow and meas .
ured cadences, with considerable pause between
each accent, he uttered;
Death death death p
Afer this he seemed to revive slightly, and
Mr.. Rhodes asked him whs;her h, had any
message to send to his mother, or sister Sarah.
Or hir boys, "Robby" and "Stevie;" to which
he made no reply, evidently not understanding
the question. Ms. Douglas then placed her
arm around his neck. and said:
IN y dear, do you know Cousin Dan?"
"YesP' he replied.
Mrs. Douglas continued
" our boys h0oby ana STEVE, and your
mother AMI sister Sarah--hlVe you any mes

The dying man replied:
Tell them 10 obey the laws and support the
Constitution Of the United States"
At about FIVE o'clock DR.. Miller came into
the room and, noticing the opsn shutters ald
windows, inquired
why have you all these windows ra ised
and so much lisht?"
Mr.. Douglas replied .
$50 that VIC can have fresh air."
At Mr.. Douglass request, Mr.. Rhodes
changed the dying mans position again in the
bed for the last time He now lay rather down
in the middle OF the bed, upon his left side his
head slightly bent forward and off the pillow
His VIE sat beside him, holding his right hand
in both Of hers, an leaning ten lerly over him

At about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning.
Bishop Dugsan called at the request Of friends
to converse with Mr.. Douglas, who was then
for the first time, perfectly rational. Mr. Dou,
gl,s immediately r.cognised the Bishop. and ex
pressed his qualification at the visit. Bishop

The Bishop continued-"Do you wish to

said:

repeated his question, to which Mr.. Douglas
answered, in a strong. full voice:

The Bishop then remarked to Mr.. Rhodes
"Ils is undoubtedly in his right mind, and does
not desire my Offices" tie then withdrew.

We have complained, as we think, justly o

As there are times when it is not right to keer
entire silence, and feeling that his course haC
not been such as it should be, we said SO, les
they who have been the sufferers by his bad
management should think that those who ough
to stand by them were taking sides with powe
and influence against them. When the volnn
| teers who had hastencd to Columbus, at tn,
call Of their country, were saffering from thu
g-oSs neglect te provide for their CO. ort, AMI
complained of their treatment; and al the,
would appear before the people as di,contenteC
grumblers, without canse-which cause we
knew to exist--we felt bounl to say there wa,
fault. When contracts had been made by the
Executive, by which the money Of the people
was poured out like water (every dollar Of which
is to be made up by taxes on people already
overbnrdened) upon favorite contracts without
competition =, we could not avoid feeling O
indignation.
When tho War opened, our people psrform
ed theiI duty patriotically - nobiy. Their
young men, by thousands ata moments notice
gathered around the standard OF their country.
Livery TCSOuICC " Tile EDlbtS was tHlu upon the
altar OF the nation; the rich men opened their
Golfers and poor women contributed of the la
Dor, upon which depended their daily bread, for
the com Iort OF the soldiers who were half led
by favored contractors, who cleared their thous.
ands every day upon the STAT takes dispensed
to them by the Executive. In the management
OF the whole affair, the idea Of econoAy never
seems to have bean entertained Certainly it
is no where maiosted except by Contractors
A hundred thousand dollars would be lost in an
estimate Of the absolute waste in contracts;
while double the figure would be mpre likely to
to truly express it. The iault OF this was laid
at the door of the ,Commissary General and
Quartermaster Wood, till an investigation
showed that the Executive, assuming the duties
Of those officers, had given out many of the fat
test contracts himself The apology for all this
is the haste with which it had to be done --and
the want previous military organization. The
people did their part perfectly. The reported

the extreme border of the State, to War De
partment, that had not the capacity TO provide
them with ratlons and quarters.
The great wrong to the men and their friends
are not lolerable. 1t is this that we complain
OF; and we make our charges knowing they
rest upon figures and fac,s, that can be shown in
detail when necessary.

Eow the Public arc Tleeccd.

To show the public the way the c!1thing con-
tracts have been managed in this State, will
give you statement Of the prices paid and the
amount of cost. These contracts were given
out without any Advertisements for bids, and
awarded to about eight persons, thousand
suits each. The price paid was SIG per suit
| The cost to the contractor was about SIS, 50,
leaving 81 50 clear profit on each suit, or 81, =
500 to be put into the pockets Of each contrac-
tor fit had been good, we'll made, durable
goods, it would not have been so bad; but be.
fore these soldiers wear them three months,
they will be again in rags. The most Of them
were made up without any staying, and Of such
fiimsy clo'h that it is impossible for them to
wear any time and the taiors paid such prices
that 1t was impossible for workmen to make
them right. The cost Of the coat is, "a yd Of
cloth at So, $375; making $l,25; trimming
81, and cutting 10 cts. Cost of coat, $6.l0 Cost
o. pants -2H vds Of Sattinet at 65 cts, ST So;
making 80 cts; trimming and cutting, Is cts.
Cost Of pants, $2S8, have put everything at
the full amount, so the public can see how they
are swin4led by the management Of their off
cials. The State Of Indiana advertised ior bids
three weeks before they were awarded, and
made each contractor furnish sample, which
they kept. And there is more suitable suit
for the purpose and one that will last twice as
long, made for Indiana at $3.50, thaa the six
teen dollar suit furnished Ohio Ishould think
common sense ought to teach the Governor Of
Ohio that 1t is just as necessary to have tailor
TO examne clothing as it is an engineer to ex-
anime steam engine; aud by having the right
man in the right place, the State could have
saved $4,000 on this clothing contract, which
in times like these, should think, would be
something Of an object.

But another wretched contract has been silt
ed, and the result is sickening. IL was report
ed that the Governor had approved q contract
for tin cups camp kettles, &c, at eXtrayagant
prices, directly in the face Of much lower prop
ositions. One Of our most prominent citizens,
in order TO satisfy himself, entered into an in
vestigatiou. anl he presents the following as
the results, viz:
Mr.. George D. WInchel sent samples to
Columbus ofctnp kettles which he agreed to
supply at 81 40 cents per nest t-Athree IN a nest;
TIN plates at 315 cents each and tin cups at 81
cents EACH He received a reply that the sam,

ton. He heard nothing more upon the subject
officially, but subsequently gotta dispatch fro,h
J. L. Gill &SOn, OF Columbus, ordering him TO
make 1900 plates for them. Su<pectins the
facts Mr.. Winchell went to Columbus and dis
covered that large contract had been given to
Oil & Son at the following prices, viz. Camp
Kettles, 3 in a nest So; Tin Cups, each, cents;
7 in plates, each, 7 cents. The contract was
signed by GOV. Dennison. Gill 4 sons bid
was more than 100 per cent higher for Camp
Kettles than Winchells, and precisely 100 per
cent higher for tin cups and tin plates. We
believe tina; every tin cup in Cincinnati could
be purchased at retail for five cents each
The idea ofcontractng to pay seven cents each
for large numbers is so preposterous that we
doubt whether the veriest Lunatic in the Cen
tral Asylum would be guilty Of it. II he sho'ld
