Warren, Sept. l9, 1891.

MeSsrs. Editors.-Will you permit me
through your columns TO make a sugges-
ton 10 all committees who may in future
have in their charge the arrangement for
any public meeting in Warren. Our COM
munIty / presume, wish to have the rep
utation of a moral community, while there
are a few members of it, who desire farth-
er to be considered christians. Would it
not therefore be well to consider the feel
ings of such, and not faunt in our faces
language which any gentleman would
feel to be improper if used in mis- parlor
before his wife and children, and which
those who have any regard for morality,
consider unfit for any place. There are a
few ofus who feel it to be our duty to lend
support to the cause OF the Union by sup
porting Lincoln and johnson, and who
do not object to the use of strong epithets
in condemning Rebels in the front. and
Traitors in the rear" but who, dis like ex-
ceedingly any approach to profanity; nor
are we willing to usurp authority that be-
longs alone to God, and consign any man,
no matter how bad he is, to eternal perdi-
ton. If it is not contrary to your rules,
may | request the insertion of this in
your next issue, and oblige an advocate
for morality.

Tbe Georgia Peace Movement.

Some daysago there came AN announce
ment, by telegraph. that II gentleman
from Georgia had arrived at Washington
under a PISS from Gen. Sherman, and
authorized by the authorizes of that
State to ascertain from the United States
Government upon what basis they would
treat with Georgia for the re admission
of that State into the Union.
We are informed, says the State JoUrH-
al, on undoubted authority, that the an
nouncement heretofore made is true, and
that such an agent from Georgia is in
communication with the Government on
the subject of his mission. and hat he is
fully authorized thereto by his State au'
thorities.
We are grati6ed to know that in this
thing the Georgia Commissioners has re-
ceived a most cordial greeting from our
authorities at Washington, and every
possible facility afforded him for full and
free communication with the government,
The authority under which this Geor'
gia Commissioner goes to Washington, is
solely from his State authorities, having
no relation whatever, either expressed or
implied, to the authorities of the bogus
Confederscy.

NEWTON FALLS, ONO,


DEAR CHRoNIcLE:-Whilst reading your
remarks to-day, the earnest amer in
which all loyal citizens are requested to
do what they can to subdue this rebel
lion, especially on the eve of an election,
which in my opinion will decide the per.
petuity or overthrow of our boosted Re-
public. The ballot box being the medium
through which that decision is to be
made. No one can doubt for a single
moment that a disease pervades our po-
litical system that is truly malignant in
its nature, and no p~aliature treatment
will restore it, requiring that the cause
shall be removed before the symptoms
can be wholly controlled.
With our present political physician,
l have the utmost confidence, but med
dlesome outsiders like the nominee Of
the Chicago convention many strive to
destroy that confidence which is necessa-
ry to insure recovery, who if chosen to
treat the patient, death must inevitably
ensue.
The particular object of my writing
this article at this time Is to call your at
tention to a conversation / held last
month in Evansville, Pa, with A. P. Nc
Donald, a few years since q leader of the
Liberal Party in the Canadian Parlia'

Governor Brough at CireleviIIe.

Governor Brough made a speech on
Saturday, at Circleville, before q large
audience. We make an extract:
K'eLkLLAN's cARErR.
But laying aside everything of mill
tary reputation, tell me where, in the
history of General Mcclellan, are the ev-
licences of that ripe experience, that
great political knowledge, that fit him as
"a candidate for the Presidency of the
United States at this time. No civil en-
ployment has he ever been entrusted
with except the superintendent of o
railroad, and l will just say, as to that,
that while / was in that business, If my
road had wanted a superintendent there
were fifty other men in the State OF Ohio
whon l would have preferred to him.
This is all the civil employment he has
been engaged in. He has given no dem
~onstration, no evidence of his capacity
to seize upon the reins of this Govern
ment in a time like this. He has no po-
litical administrative knowledge at all
Even in the last political campaignof 1860,
he had not the genius to discover thai
the welfare of this Government, and the
perpetuation of its institutions, required
the election of some other man than
John c. Breckenridge. Are we to turn
aside and seize upon an inexperienced
man, merely because, for three long years
he has made every occasion of his life
subordinate TO that end.
While / do not abuse the military ca
reer of General Mcclellan, l feel this
prompting in my heart, that but for the
serpent which whispered in his ear at
Washington, even as the serpent whisper
ed in the ear of our great mother, that
he. could climb the military height and
be proclaimed President of the United
States-I believe that but for that, he
could have taken Richmond and crushed
this rebellion two years ago. | believe
that when he got before Yorktown with
l80, 900 men, and 10, ZOO confronting him,
| believe a man of ordinary genius could
have gone into Richmond and captured
it, had it not been that the Evil One
whispered to him, Hold back for a while;
there is a Presidency TO be made out Of
this thing. We may make you President
by-and-by." 1t is a matter of history
and l do not critoise military matter
when l repeat it here, that b army o
the Peninsula lay there 10000 strung
and before less than 1900 rebels, for
period of fifteen Oh twenty days, wher
they could have stormed over them, wher
if Joe Hooker had been their leader, hs
would have captured Richmond in TWEEN
ty hours. But Mcclellan said no. He
lay there until the rebel cohorts were
brought in on the other side, and he wa
compelled to retire in disaster after
burying 10000 American citizens who
died from disease, under the soil OF the
Chickahominy.

The Electoral College.

The relative strength of the several
States in the electoral college has been
considerably changed since the last Pres
idental election, by the decennial reap
portionment. Maine had s votes in 1860,
. nd in 1864 will have but 7. Massachus-
etts also loses one, falling from l3 to II
votes; New York drops from IS to 80;
Pennsylvania loses one, Ohio loses two,
and Kentucky loses one. Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia. will not
be heard of in the electoral college. The
vote oil California will be increased from
4 to 5 votes: Iowa, which bad 4 votes in
1860, will row have 8; Wisconsin will
have 8 votes instead of 5; Illinois will ad'
vance from IL to l6 votes; Michigan in
creases two votes, and Kansas with her
three votes will be added to the college.

The strength of the Army.

NEW YORK, Sept. Is.
The 7FibpmSs correspondent with
Grant says:
By reference to the Richmond Wing,
which 1 mailed to you last night, you
will see that on their own calculation
there remains i'll the whole South but
l32, 90 men between the ages of 10 and
so. These they style exempts. Ry an
enactment Of their Congress all residents
between these ages are in their military
service. From these exempts only they
can recruit their armies. But these 1872
600 are all men who having been detailed
for duty, considered up to this time as
virtually important as the service in the
army, and not all of them, nor any large
portion of them can be spared from
their present avocations as oyerseers OF
plantations, as workmen in the Confed-
crate arsenals and as manufacturers OF
articles which must be obtained, hence
there is no basis of addition to their ar
mics.

The Chicago platform proposes an I'm
mediate cessation of hostilities,, n an
ultimate convention" of the States, to
change the Constitution, so as to smooth
the way for the return of the rebels to
its protecting folds; Such a convention
can be called only by two-thirds OF both
bodies of Congress, or on application to
that body of two-thirds of the States, dis
loyal as well as loyal. The amendments,
to become a part of the Constitution
must be ratified by three-fourths OF the
State. Should the proposed course DC
adopted, two years would probably be
consumed in calling the convention, ID
its deliberations, and in the acceptance
of its recommendations. In the mean
