We have good authority for saying that
a letter has been written by General Hal

giving of honor to whom honor is due, he
ascrbes the credit Of the entire plan of
movements at the West, and the successful

Nc Clellan. This handsome acknowledge
ment is creditable to both the Generals
concerned. General Halleck takes nothing
from his own title to the gratitude Of the
people by such statement In ali the
qualities constituting a great military
leader he has no superior. 1t is subject
of profound gratitude that the nation has

GERRY Patriotism.

1SEhJ tsEsisassSEfEs k-aaEiOsIssts.
The Ohio Legislature has passed bill
for apportioning the counties of hat State
nto Congressional Districts. The bill is
pronounced by the minority shameless
fraud upon nearly one half The voters OF
the Siate-the Districts being arranged
without regard 10 geographical contiguity
and having for its only object the elec
ton OF men of the dominant party to Con
gress, TO tie exclusion of Democrats. In
deed, no attempt is made to conceal the
fact that this is the object Of the bill, and
one member had the candor to declare in
debate that one great end in view by the
farmers and supporters of the measure
was to prevent the return of Sam Cox to
tie House Mr.. Cox is the popular and
able young member from the Columbus
district. His tastes are rather literary
than political. though few men in the
National Legislature are better posted
than he on all the great questions that
agtate the nation.
He was an ardent supporter of Mr..
Douglas for the Presidency and has ever
proved himself faithful to the patriotic
teachings Of that lamentable statesman. In
the present struggle Mr.. Cox, has givea a
cordial and Jealous support to the war for
the Union, asking only that the Consttu-
ton shall be respected and preserved un-
impaired. He has never uttered word
or given vote which indicates sympathy
with or toleration for treason
Why, then, should the Republican
members of the Ohio Legislature be SO
anxious to turn this able and popular
young member ous of Congress that they
frame and pass bill having this for one
of It's leading objects? In what has Mr.
Cox offended that such anxiety should be
manifested to get rid of his presence in
the House? 1t can not be on account of
sympathy with the Southern traitors. for
Mr.. Cox has never exhlboted such sympa-
thy, but the contrary.
We greatly fear that if the Republican
members who manifest such extraordinary
anxiety to keen Mr.. Cox out of Congress.
were to speak from the bottom of their
hearts. they would be compelled to say
that 1t was because Mr.. Cox is Demo
ciat and is in favor Of putting down the
rebellion and restoring the Union under
he Constitution. We would fain hope
hat such is not the case, and vet it looks
80 to us from this distance. If MY. Cox
had done aught as member Of Congress
tlat was unpatriotic. surely the people o
his old District would not for moment
hesitate to rebuke and condemn him at the
polls. But the Legislature are not willing
to trust these people. but must gerrvman
der the District 50 IA To oyerwhelm Mr.
+ Cox with the votes Of counties to WHOM
he - a stranger.
We can assure our Republican friend,
that these exhibitions Of partisan maliy
niiy are not at all calculated to win Unio:
Democrats to their standard New Alban,

WHY not Abuse .BeT. E}a.is:


Nothing perhaps shows the utter igno
rance of the posture of our National
affairs than the question "Why don't you
abuse jeff Davis?" What have we TO do
with JEFF. Davis but to fight him? What
good would it do to abuse a man you fight?
We have nothing whatever to DO with
jeff. Davis or his government; our praise
or abuse Of it would not effect single man
in his jurisdiction, nor reach his ear We
are neither responsible for his govern
meDt, his debts. nor his army And all
we know about it is what we get through
the Republican papers. who have never
failed, it would seem, to hold contraband
communication SO far as to get hold Of
Southern papers. We ge. jeff. Daviss
message to his congress through the Gin
cinnati Commercial, and Beauregard s
order through the Ohio State Journal. both
of which will be found in our paper with
out note or comment.
But we will state with whom we have 10
do-and that is with Abraham Lincolo,
and every other person who holds office in
the Union, and for whose acts we are res
ponsible, and of whose good or bad deeds
we have got TO feel the effects for all time
to come. Our liberties are in the hands
of Mr.. Lincoln-cur army Of 100000 is
in his hands for veal or for wo-every
dollar OF property is subject under the
war power, and a reckless. ignorant Con-
gress. to their use and abuse. All that
we the people have in the world-life,
liberty. property. Constitution and govern
ment, are in their hands, and we woulG be
base traitors to our trusts If We did no.
act as faithful watchmeu.
We send armies to the field to look after
Jeff. Davis. and it is due that army that
we see that no harm comes of the country
in its home and civil capacity while they
are looking after JEFF. Davis.
We cannot be caught in any such trap
rs 10 turn our attention to that which
would be OF no particle Of use, al of
doing our duty wlere patriotism, country,
liberty and constitutional government de-
mand our labors

the British statesmen, spent their time in
abnsing the rebels, but kept very strict
watch upon The acts of the home govern
ment to see how they managed the affair.
Instead of being traitors for so doing. they
became the trusted and true friends of the
British government. and so they stand to
this day in British history. They did
not oppose and denounce the British King
and Cabinet because they wanted to lose
the colonies. but because they had regard
70, the honor Of their own government and
the interests of the British people.
Our government being one OF the peo-
pie, and not Of kings. how much more res
possibility rests upon US. that we watch
with the eye of patriotic vigilance the acts

Another dark chapter of fraud and in
competency is revealed in the report of
the Western War Claims Commission.
composed of Messrs. David Davis Of III. i,
Joseph Holt Of Kentucky. and Hugh
Campbell The names are a guarantee
that the commission was faithfully execu.
ted. Their report fills AZ printed pages.
and the testimony of 1900 witnesses ex-
amined by them will occupy from to
1000 manuscript pages The fresh char
ges against Gen. Fremont are beyond any
thing in the past, and we give them con-
densed, as follows:
He contracted. according to this report,
for 6 mortar boats at S66. 900, which were
appraised at S38.OOO by intelligent boat
and engine builders.
Among the claims was one for 500
tons of ice. ordered by Gen. Fremont.
purchased and shipped in October, when
the weather was becoming cool. 1t was
sent to Jefferson City. and most of it vast
ed, because there was no room to store it
in Jefferson City, where it was sent. The
Commission allowed only one half of the
claim for rent of three story house for
Gen. Fremont's head quarters. hired at
$4,000 per annum; and they complain
that the purchase Of railroad cars, and the
large dealings in coal growing out of the
steam and gun boat sevice. are largely
tainted with fraud.
c. D. Beard, Californian. and ]. c.
Woods, figure largely as spectators in
the report, they having been peculiarly
favored by the Gen. Beard received Sl9l.
0OO in advance for some contracts for
forts.
| OF the special contracts for arms and
munitions, especially made by Gen. Ere
mont. S64i 600 remain unpaid, and the
Commission deducted from this 100000
for excess cf price.
Beard attacked the treasury in front,
flank and rear. He brought bills for for
age amounting to $4,000.
If the various frauds in Gen. Frement's s
Department brought to light by the Com
missioners are astounding, his declarations
were more so. He said to Ii. Col And
rews, Paymaster OF the regular army, ac
cording to the testimony of that officer.
that
The people of the U. States were in
the field; that he was at their head. and
that he meant to carry out such measures
as they expected him to carry out. with
out regard to the red tape of the Wash
iugton people"
Col. Andrews told him that red tape
meant system of government. which. il
its details. might be carried too far by
suhordinates, but the general system o
onr government was wise and good one
and he who undertook to set aside its
principles would become entangled with
difficulties Gen. Fremont replied by Ie'
pcating his former remark. and saying
that
1--WE have only extra constitutional gov
ernment-no civil rights, so to speak
and all ordinary peaceful rules we're to b'
; set aside"
Other witnesses of unimpeachable in
tegrity, testified that Gen. Fremont hat
made similar remarks In their hearing. |,
commenting upon this, the Commissioner
say that
> military chieftans who cat red tap
always do it with their swords. and his
tory proves that the throat of the countr,
suffers as much as the tape does in tn
operation"
