MOCK PHILANTHROPY OF THE EURopEAN Go
vERNxHNTs-The English and French journals
in the interest Of the rebels have been in the
habit of setting forth the crueltics falsely
charged against the federals in the conduct of
the war as one Of the principal grounds for an
armed Intervention in our affairs. It might
easily be shown that there never before.was
rebellion in which the effort to restore the au-
thority Of the regular government was marked
by less Of vindictive and prosecuting spirit
than the present one. Even the shooting Of the
ten rebel prisoners in Missouri by COL Mcneil,
about which the tory organs in England have
raised such an outcry, initiates nothing against
this assertion. II was the act of an Individual
in command Of local force, and owing no re-
sponsibiity to the national government Were
we % turn to the history Of the Irish and Scotch
rsbellions we could point to hundreds of worse
atrocities perpetrated by militia and yeomanry
without their being called to account for II. In
the case Of Col. Mcneil there is no doubt that
II the facts alleged are established proper pun
ishment will be meted out TO him.
Whilst the unavoidable incidents Of civil war
are being constantly perverted into arguments
favoring their desire to break rs up, the indif-

We believe that the Constitution of
the State of Ohio prohibits any person
from holding an Office under the Uni
ted States Government and at the
same time hold State, County or
Township office. This being the case,
can any one tell us, how the present
Secretary Of State Of Ohio, Benjamin
Rush Cowen, ESQ.,, can hold the office
Of Paymaster in the United States
Army, and the office of Secretary OF
State at the same time, and receive
pay both from the State and the Uni
ted States Governments. This is a
case that should receive the attention
of the Judiciary Committees of the
Senate and House Of Representatives
in the present Legislature. One good
Office generally satisfies any ordinary
reasonable man, but it does not seem
70 be enough for Mr.. Cowen. He
prefers to receive $4,000 year from
the United States for being Paymaster
in the army, and S1400 from the State
Of Ohio. at the same time, for being
Secretary Of State.

time, for the past ten days, in the Presby-

much good has been done. At the COM

preached for several days and nights. His
ardent and affectionate appeals 10 his large
audiences will certainly produce good results.
And during last week, and part OF this,
the Rev. John P. Caldwell preached twice .
day to large and attentive Congregations.
His manner is very impressive, - his reason
ing cogent and well directed, and it must be
that he will do much good wherever be may
labor. Ills appeals to the sinner to ''fiee

The present Legislature Of Ohio are
big fuss about retrenching,
in small matters. They
have the nightmare horribly about
or Publishing. There are two
or three printers in the Legislature,
and the lawyers stuffthe other men bers
with the idea, that those printers are
doing all they can to make more ''prin-
ter's fees" while they, the lawyers,
draw up the bills in such complicated
manner, that nearly every man, who
is not one of the profession, will have
to go to an attorney, if he wishes to
understand.any law passed by the pre-
sent Legislature. That is the way it
works.
We are in favor of retrenching in
every department that is needed, but
we don't believe in "straining at gnats
and swallowing camels. +" There are
but few departments of the public ser
vice, but what need the pruniug-knife
in these times. The fees or salaries o.
County Officers are entirely too high
In this county, we think the salaries
of our county officers should be as fol
lows: Auditor, $500; Treasurer, 500
Sheriff, $500; Probate Judge, 5000
Clerk, 5000; Recorder, $500; instead
of the enormous salaries they are nov
receiving. Any amount of good men
Just as capable as the present incum
bents, and they are capable enough
could be found who would willingl,
take the offices at the salaries we hav,
named, and who would DO ALL TIL
WORK. The Common Pleas Judge
could have their salaries reduced t
Sl200 without any unnecessary neon
venience to the taxpayers. And tn
extra Judges in the different Judicia
Districts, could be dispensed with a
together. Let our Senator and Req
resentative look at this matter, and Sc
if they cannot help to relieve our tax
payers.
There are other things that could ei
ther be abolished or wonderful reforr
made in them, that we will mentio
hereafter.
