From the Cadiz Republican, jan 81.
Our NO-Party Governor.
While we are willing to accord to Cover
nor Tod reasonable amount of patriotism,
so tar as the prosecution OF the war and the
suppression oil the rebellion is concerned. We
are inclined to believe that he is as much a
Locoioco partisan as he was in days Of yore,
whsn he gIoried in the appelaion Of "Pot>
metal Davy" Notwithstanding he is In
debled to the generosity of the Republicans
! for his domination and election, he seems
disposed to bestow all the patronage, a. his
| disposal as Governor upon his former poliu
cal associates. When the office OF Secretary
OF State became vacant by the resignation o.
Mr., Cowan, Republican, Gov. Tod filled
the vacancy with Democrat-mr kennon;
and mUre recently when there was supposed
! to be another vacancy, caused by the appoint
meDt OF Mr.. Tayler, Auditor OF State, to
the position in the Treasury Department at
/ Washingto recently held by Mr.. Whit lesy,
the Governor again rendered that position to
| his Loco oco friend. Mr.. Kennon; but, it
seems, in this case, that the action Of the
Governor WAS premature, for Mr.. Tayler
had not resigned. Speaking Of this last
partisan act OF our no party Governor, the
Ohio State journal says:
at has been heretofore announced that the
position, of la'e held by Mr., Whittesey as
/ Auditor of the Treasury Department at
| Washington, has been rendered to our excel
lent Auditor o. State, Hon. II w. Tayler
/ Presuming that Mr. Tayler would soon ten-
der his resignation of the State office, more
than sixty members Of the Legislature, most
ly or all Republicans, pelitioned the Cover
nor yesterday, Tor his appointment OF Judge
| Wilson, OF Darke, to the vacant Auditor ship.
On presenting this petition to the Governor
he very bandly assured the committee that
they had come just in sine to be too late:
| That be had thought it incumbent on him
| TO remember his democratic (i) friends, and
had accordingly rendered the Authorship 30
his particular protcge, Mr.. Kennon! And
showed them Mr.. Kennon's acceptance
The Republicans were slightly, veyy slightly,
amused at this haste on the part OF the Gov
ernOr to dispense his patronage in a manner
so Just ( } and discreet as to leave the Re
| pubicans in lnll possession OF the important
| and potential rtfice OF Lieutenant Governor,
and nothing more. And we understand
that they ventured some rather tXpletve
congratulations" on the subject; not IN the
presence Of his Excellency, however. as
that might have seemed irreverent! And
the beauty of the business is, that it is found
that the Governor was benigny giving away
the Authorship to his democratic con rere
when there was no vacancy to be filled -
Mr.. Tayler has not resigned and we under
stand that he does not intend to, the Gov-
ernor's invitation thereunto to the contrary
notwithstanding. We hope he will not -
The State cannot spare him. The Governor
has, in this mat ter, plased himself in de
cidedly predicamentous condition. We un-
de stand that the Tod stock for United
States Senal orshlp had a sensible decline last

ed by Republican: and, should Mr.. Tayler
resign, our no party Governor proposes TO
fill that, too with Democrat Such is
the treatment Republicans receive, at the
hands Of the man they elected to the Guber-
ia oral chair.
Gov. Tod's military appointments have
also been mostly OF partisan character:
aud some OF them show to al disregard Of
the recommendations of those directly inter
rested. Take tor instance the appointment
Of field officers OF the l26th Regiment. With
the exception Of the Colonel, other persons
than those recommended by the dis rct Mil
itary Committee were appointed. For Ma
lor OF OF that Regiment, an excellent man
(Capt. Cuningham) who had been in active
service for more than year, was recomen
ded He was from the county of Harrison
that had turned out three companies for the
Regiment county that had received fewer
ayors. in that way OF ReSimental officers
than any other in the State; yet the services
OF Capt Cunningham the claims OF the county
and the recommendation OF the committee
were disregarded, and Mr.. Ebrght, of
Fan field county. man who had never seen
service. appoin Major Of the Regiment.
We cnuld name other il stances o. a total
disregard of the wishes OF the people in
this section Of the State on the part OF Gov.
Tod, were we disposed. and may hereafter
refer to them.
