We have received an article, rather too
long for publication, which justly COM
plains Of recent order Of the Provost
Marshal General Of Ohio, that where men
who are drafted, fail to report, the def
cheney is to be supplied by q supplements
y draft
This order, SO fer as we have seen, has
not been Issued elsewhere and even were
Il, would be meme the less Objectionable.
The order simply puts q premium on
dessrtiOn end failure to report. II shifts
. responsibility from the GOvsrnmsnt
upon the people for which there can be no
:ust reason.
Ii is the business Of the Provost Mar
Ghal To see that men failing to report are
arrested II possible. If they cannot be,
that is not the fault Of other citizens, and
70 draft them to supply the deficiency must
arouse just indignation. We see no rea-
son for this trifing with public confidence
and patriotism.
Mr.. Fash has very wisely decided not
to 80 on with = supplementary draft until
further information IUushinE the order has
been received.

Our Eastern exchanges come Iadenet
with appeals to the people for onions fol
the Army Of the Potomac. Onions are al
excellent antisoOrbutio, and at suoh sea
son Of the year will be eminently ser.
Viceable.
In new York city it is proposed to de.
vote the usual money spent in fireworks
on the Fourth Of July, to buying onions
for the army.
AS soon as the movement began, a rs-
Paeioua set ofspecuistive soOundrels began
20 buy up all the onions in The market
with 9 view to filing their own pockets at
the expense Of the sick and suffering SOL
disrs.
sush Villainous greed merits and re.
csives the indignation ofsll men.
The Sanitary Commission have under
taken the work Of forwarding all the srii-
oles donated, as they can do it free Of
charge.
Cannot g similar movement be started
in the West for the soldiers in sherman's

should be dealt nobly with by the West.

the plan Of the Provost MarshRIs, persons

All substitutes, thus procured, are credit

Mr. Cha,s,s R..Irnnrton,


The interest in the war, has, for tine,
been Overruled by the greater interest
which has been felt in the resignation Of
Mr.. Chase. Il has been the theme Of con-
slant conversation on The streets. Tbs
cOnjectuEes ard surmises concerning It's
origin and ultimate results, have been %
various as mems minds. 1t must be ad-
mittsd that the first result was to produce
an unsetted feeling in regard to finances
That the markets have been affected By
1t, Is evident by the increased quotations
Of gold shd produce.
Now, however, that Mr.. Fesssndea sue.
Oeeds him, public confidence will be
largely restored. Senator Fessenden, the
Chairman Of Finance in the Senate, en-
joys a reputation for financial ability
which viii do much to inersass the
public faith. The reasons alresdy assign
ed, in our special dispatches from Wash
ington, for his resignation, are amply con-
frmsd from other sources. Secretary
Chase looks upon the problem Of
sustaining the finances as de-
pendent chiefly upon the discount Of rev.
enue which is furnished him By ths Tax
bill The problem is very easy one. II
three hundred millions from taxation are
absolutely essential, as Mr.. Chase declares
it must be furnished or the Treasury
Department is involved in insxtricsble
difficulty.
If, however, 1t has been Mr.: Chases in
tention to resign, and he has only waited
until the Investigating Committee could
report he now leaves the responsible posi-
ton Of Secretary Of the Treasury, with
on the slightest faint Of fraud or peoula-
tiOn clinging te his garments. BE affords q
splendid illustration Of what an honest
man can do when burfhened with such
an immense financial responsibility ss
have been his fortune to bear.
Congress and the country should now
render Mr.. Fsssenden their undivided
support and confidence. It ia unmanly,
unworthy Of q great commercial and pat
riOtic people, to be predicting serious mis-
fortunes from such an event as change In
sITong, is mighty, and must prevail.

Ths REORGANIZATION sfths English CablnsI-
aRunOrs come to us Of the prObsbls re.
Organization Of the English Cabinet, under
Tie LEAD Of The Tory or Conservative Party.
For some time past they have been max
ing very bitter attacks upon the present
party in power. The policy Of Earl Rus.
sell, under the direction Of Queen Victoria,
has brought Englsad into contempt
8 thFoughout The continent. The sympa-
thiss Of the Masses Of England are strong
~ IN favor Of Denmark and sgainst Ger
Z nAay. The Queen, however, SLOWS her
feelings 10 give TO the foreign policy Of
England fimid, querulous tone, that does
not srouss any respect at home or sbrosd.
Although the Liberal party is strong.
Jet Il win not probably be strong enough
20 prevent the Tories from getting into
power. When the star Of PalmsrstOn sets,
that Of Derby will rise.
If this change takes place, We need not
look for any advantage from it to our own
cause.
The Tories have for some time exhibited
. complaining disposition. The party now
In power has been constantly berated for
its position in regard to the American
war. So that while the accession of the
Tory party, BY srrsying England on the
side Of Denmark, may bring Peace to Eu-
rope, 1t may not add anything to our
peaceful relations now existing with Eng
land. Il being necessary for the Tory
party to show strong foreign policy we
might look for greater fasar fran = F~.--
Cabinet toward whatever propositions Of
intervention Napoleon might suggest.
The American people are therefore in
terested in the runners Of impending
changes in the English Cabinet, and Will
watch with anIisty thepolitical revolution
that may be soon accomplished in Crest
Britain.
There is possibility that Gladstone,
who has favored an extension Of the suffer
sgeI may by the aid of the Liberals, 70 in
to power.
The chances are however. in favor of
the Tories with Derby and Disrasli at
their head.

An IIum1Rrnnon Hursnu,

The immense influx Of immigrants from
the old WoFld has undoubtedly assisted in
the rocont establishment of Bureau Of
immigration.
The Union party pledged itself st Balti-
more to encourage immigration. The ores-
ton Of Buresu that shall have this i'm.
POrtsnt subject under charge will greatly
promote the good work.
II the best men are selected to lay
before the people Of Europe the sd-
vsntsges cfoOmiEg to this country, there
will be an addition 10 our population next
year that will be far greater than our loss
es in consequence Of the rsVsge5 Of war.

This mslignity Of the London Times to
wards the United States pollutes en-
pOisons its literary articles. Not lonI
since wrstehed book calling itself move
was printed snd published here by
wretohed man who has gone to his aoooun
with the title Of Marion, by Manhst
tan" 1t oCuld hardly be said to be pub
lished, for it had no ssle, and was said Il
have been suppressed, though we have moi
heard how. The book is reprintedin Eng
land in three volumes and sold by Saun.
d0rs, Otley s Co., Of London.
~ PSofasaaa Ia aisA a piature Of Nav
York manners, which it paints in the
blackest cOlors. The Times treats its dis.
gusting representations az true, and en-.
deEVOrs to give currency to the book By
elaborate comments and extracts.
To shsW the spirit in which the review
Of this miserable production is written We
shall give passage or two:
ave are introduced to heap Of black
guards, and ars given to understand thsI
these are the gentlemen Of New York
We are shown pack Of vulgar, detestsble
females of loose virtue, and learn that
these are the ladies Of New York. As we
survey the ugly picture We remember Mr..
Hawthorne and his rosy visions Of the
little dsmsels Of his native country, snd
We wonder why, before tr ing to shame
ne by his eompsrisOns, he did not at hrst
try to Songines hiS M ips nttEET6ss1+1sfi7s sos
msnt Of the Yankee girls"
A little further on the review says more
broadly:
"ORe might as soon hope to make an
epic or idol out Of the loves Of our dogs or
our cats as hOps to make pretty in tale
the intrigues of these American de-
bRuches.
Manhattan draws q hideouB picture Of
American ladies. We should be sorry to
think that the picture is scorrect one, and
yet 20 some extent it ooinoides with what
we in this country should inns Rine to be
the natural result Of the freedom from re
strsint under which American girls live"
And Again,
1--WE have been long aware Of the free
dom which was permitted to American
girls, but We have also been told that they
did not abuse their freedom, that they we're
worthy Of every confidence, that it was
almost impossible for them to 70 wrong.
OF course we believed this, as in duty
bound, even If We did not quite under
stand it The natural consequence Of 30
much freedom among young girls would
seem to be q good many slips; but on the
American continent We learn every day
that the laws Of human nature are re-
Versed, and so, notwithstanding its
strsngeness, we accepted it as fact that
American girls are models Of purity, and
do not require locking after. Manhattan
tells different tale, and pictures them in
; Light which is not good"
