no Case of tne Rev. george Gordon.

"A
The following Is a passage from Senator
Shermans speech on the Presideite emancipa'
ton resolution delivered yesterday.
George Gordon, the President Of one oil lhe
colleges Of our State, man full OF learning
and character, 10 now held In the jail In the city
of Cleveland, convicted under your fugitive
slave law in the Western Reserve, at CieVe'
Land, Of aiding fugitive to escape. Thatcoh-
viction was rendered long alter the war con-
menoed, and Judge sitting 10 Cleveland SEN
fenced him 60 SIX months imprisonment ana 10
a fine Of three hundred dollars This man OF
education and learning has suffered four months
In that jail, and, although hundreds and thou
sands OF people have petitioned for his pardon,
although he took no part in the crime, but sim
DIV stood BY and did not raiee his hand TO pre-
vent II, vet, 80 careful have been the Admins
tratiop to protect the rights OF the South, and
the duties aud the obligations OF the free States
to the slave States, that that clergyman, the
head OF college, man Of high character,
now suffers as felon in your jail"
This was all true yesterday, but the Pfesi-
dent, after thorough examination OF the case
In the Attorney. Generals office to-day, Issued
free pardon to George Gordon The recital
states that the evidence does not show that he
actively aided in the fugitive's escape, and that,
at all events, he has already suffered sufficiently.
IN Y. TTibune's Wash. DiSpdteh.
That was not all true yesterday, and never
has been true We are surprised that Senator
Sherman fell into 80 grave an error in relation
to the facts In the Gordon case. Mr. Gordon
was not convicted under the Fugitive Law, but
under law that punishes map for maltreat
ing an officer. We cannot afford the space to
run over this case again, Dut had Senator Sher-
man made himself acquainted with the facts Of
the case, the unDeIcnul whipping to which
Gordon was accessory, aud the subsequent
crime Of that man 10 aiding one OF the most
dangerous iorgers in the land 10 escape from
jail his pity would have been very much TEN
pered. ClsUsIdnd Herald, April s..

having taken barge In tow laden with hay and
coal, to serve.as protection from the enemy's
balls, extinguished her lights, put on steam, and
rapidly sailed down the river The first inti-
nation the rebels had of the attempt to run the
blockade was the FIRE which issued from the
burning chimney Of the gnnboat, and immedi-
Ately thereafter it was greeted with q shower Of
balls from the infantry stationed az the upper
bsttegy, the same which was so effectnally
spiked lev days since by Col. Roberts.
A signal rocket was then sent up, and in an
instant the entire line Of batteries were blaze

Two Democratic City School Di-

The Democracy Of Columbus yesterday i'm
proved on last years triumph, having elected
the entire ticket, without the loss Of man.
For the frst tine they succeeded in eleciing a
Democratic Treasurer, who wasrunlipg against
very popular mana man who had long held
the position, and had never before been beaten.
Mayor THOMAS had majority of slxty-four
last year. when the Democracy carried the city
for the first time. The Democracy on yester-
day, gave their Marshal a majority of seven
hundred and eighty.three. We publish else
where in this paper the official figures, so far
as We we're able to obtain themEup to the hour
OF going to press.
The vote in favor of annexation is almost
unanimous.
Thus has the Capital City Of Ohio put its
seal Of condemnation npon radicalism, and CIV

FRIEND CONVERSE About forty OF
the live Teachers of Geaugs County, last
week. enjoyed rich intellectual feast at
Burton. Mr.. Emerson E. White, Of Co.
lumbus, formerly Of Geauga County, took
charge Of the Institute. My pen cannot
do Mr.. White justice. Seldom, il ever,
have we seen a man better adapted to
give instruction. Geauga County owes
him debt OF gratitude for his labor with
teachers last week. 1t is to be lamented
that SO few were present, TO be benefited
by his instructions.
We need not say that the experiment
shows fearful state OF indifference in
educational matters in this County
Although il is one Of the riches. counties
in the State, its teachers get the poorest
pay Of any in the State. The old, des-
picabie plan of boarding around" is still
kept up, and many other barbarous Gus
toms are in Aourishing condition. The
fact is, this County is falling behind her
sister counties, and, unless something is
done to awaken an interest. we shall not
need 10 travel far to find Egypt. Some
may think that we are severe, but the
facts are on hand to prove our position
