CINCINNATI, June l9
IL ia conceded by the military here that Gen.
eral Ordsr No. 3e is o nullity, although not Of
ficially revoked. No more Civilians are arrest

aide throws The entire responsibility upon the
President, and when a committee or private in-
diyiduais whit upon him aud request the arrest
of certain offenders Gen B. respectfully refers
them to tho President. A. Of present advised
he will not enforce Order 3S until further ad-
yised. President Lincoln will not take tho re-
sponsibiliy, 60 that aff9iTB stand as II such Of
der was never Issued,
The Democracy Of this city arc greatly CT
coursged and delighted at the immense meet
ing held in Springfield on ednesday. Enthu
sasm is spreading rapidly, and great change
| 10 going on in public sentiment The defeat Of
the black-festhegel ticket headed By Bfough
| Anderson & Co., ie certain, and the triumphant
election OF Vallandigham, Pugh & Co., is Ger
| tain.
Friends of the Administration deem the late
lletter of Gen. Fremcut to the Loyal Leauge
celebra ton at Concord, N, Y, in favor Of free
speech, and cenaurirg the Administration for
Vallandighem's arrest-Ra one OF the seyerest
blows which has been struck en- this subject.
The prominent position Of Gen Fremont, po.
itical and military, aud his being theidol OF the
radical aud more numerous branch Of the Re,
publican party, cause the rebuke Of this Admin
istration TO be most crushing and telling On
public opinion.
daSome of tho Westtrl Administration men
are astounded as the unanimty with which the
Eastern press condemn the late arbitrary pro-.
ceedinge, as hardly paper In New York or
New England stood by the Administration on
the Vallandigham question. IL ID noticed here,
this being Mr. Chaae'a residence, that his par
ticular friends were, from the start, opposed
TO Mr.. Vallandigham'g arrest, and condemned
it Ia private conversations. A merit claimed
for Chase by his partisans Is that, unlike Sew.
ard, stanton and Lincoln, he has never been
connected with any arbitrary arrests. It
ia farther noticed, as signifcant of Chaae's
We've, that the N. Y. Post, paper no
toriously his hacker, calls ior Vsllandigham's
release, and, together with the N. Y. Tribune,
another Chase and anti-SeNard paper, was
loudest 10 censure OF Gen Burnside's policy
Chase's friends here say that Seward was OF the
bottom OF his arrest, In order to weaken the
Democracy of Ohio, 30 that they might carry
the State in October, aud in that manner Sew
ards friends would claim, as On argument
against Chase as Presidential candidate, that
he could not carry bic own State if frnominated.
Chase saw this game, and aeked Mr Seward,
in Cabinet meeting, why, il arbitrary arrests
were to be made, they were not made in Sew
ards own State oil N. York where il was notori-
GUS that journals and politicians we're more Bit
ter and denunciatoFy of the war and the ad-
ministration than they we're in the West. This
was q shot at Seward that told with deadly Of
feet He repliedthRt they had many rascals
in New York who deserved to be arrested, but
to do 60 would bring on collision with Gov.
Seymour and the State militia. ChRee, Ie.
piled that "all States Bboul6s be treated alike,
and If you can't arrest Wood for spouting trea-
500 in New York, you ought MOTTO invade Ohio
and arrest Vallandigham
You did nos fail TO notice that the only prom
inent papers in New York that sustained VAL
lapdighsm'e arrest, were the N. Y. Times and
Albany Journal, the latter edited by Seward's
son. Seward, with his usual craft, when the
STERN became violent, took Che back track, and
had his organ in Washington, the National IN
teiiigencer, take strong grounds against the
measure which he originally had recommended.
Lincoln's first impulse was to go with Chase,
and order Vallandigham's discharge; but he
was fuslly persuaded that, as the proceeding
seemed to have the sanction of tire civil au-
thorities in the person Of Judge Leayitt, he
would let the sentence stand, with the modii-
cation of punishment. asas
Mr.. Vsllandighsm's friends here, while de-
string bis return, are yet OF opinion that, If abb
sent on the day of election, he will get many
thousand more votes than 1t at home.
There are disclosures which or being made In
private circles by Chsse's intimate friends In
this city.
