's The Cry is, stiII They Comet,

A proposition is before the Legislature tC
levy two mills on the dollar valuation for The
support of soldiers families But that i.
not the matter to which we wish to call the
attention of the reader. The proposition
above mentioned also suggests the appoint
ment in each township of a distributing
committee whose duty it will be to distrib-
ute the fund to the soldiers families and
receive therefor valuable compensation
from the State of Ohio. IL is said that In
one township in Medina County, the trus-
tees failed to properly discharge the duty of
distributing the relief fund, and hence the
necessity for the adoption of the new prop
osition. There arc about 800 townships
in the State; a committee of three in each
township would NAL kc nests for 4, 500 "loy-
al Abolition office seekers, to be paid by
inAicting the people with heavy taxation
for that purpose.
There has been no complaint in regard to
the manner in which the duty has been dis
charged by township trustees except in
that one Medina County township, and as
we are opposed to creating a swarm of 4, 500
new officers in the State, loyal though
they be, and opposed to being taxed to fill
the pockets of men who want useless offices
for the emolumcnts thereof we will propose
the election of competent men in the recre-
ant township, and that the funds be distrib-
uted through the channels at present en-
ployed.

Charges Of RarDnritY.

Late rebel papers teen with long articles
describing in the most vehement terms the
atrocities alleged to be committed by us
against prisoners. They charge us with
shooting prisoners on the most futile pre-
texts, and with making them do all sorts of
ignominious drudgery, and they call loudly
upon the rebel authorities to retaliate. OF
course there is much exaggeration and some
falsehood in these charges, but the fact that
they are made should induce us to receive
with caution the statements made concern
ing the inhumanity of the Confederates. -
Although it may be comforting for us to
believe that we possess a monopoly of all
the virtues, late events indicate that we are
human and have some of the frailties of
humanity. Even in that Paradise Of Saints,
Massachusetts, the recent developments
concerning the brutal whipping and other
punishment inflicted upon white women
show that some taint of mortal error and
crime yet fingers, and if such be the case
in a spot which claims to have reached all
moral perfection, may there not be in less
holy sections some mixture of earthly pas
sion.
This mutual depreciation of each other
only Injuries us in the estimation of the
world, and renders the adjustment of our
National feud more embarrassing p lain

Horrible Disaster in Chill.

The Steamer An,erica arrived at New
York on the 18th inst. bringing an account
of horrible disaster at Chill On the
morning of the l4th of December the Ca
thedral at Santiago caught fire from the ex
plosion of gas pipe, when dcnsely crowded
with people. The doors were soon blocka-
ded with people attempting to escape
The interior of the building was decorated
with light hamable ornaments, which caused
the flames to spread rapidly, The roof Of
wood soon fell, burning the mass of beings
under it, Some $50 dead bodies, mostly
women and children, had been recovered
from the ruins. The number killed is sta
ted at over 1000. The Church contained
20, 900 lights from some of which fire wa:
communicated to the drapery of the i'm
age Of tho Virgin and the pasteboard devi
ces, In an instant sheet of fame raj
along the fcstoon of lights to the roof anc
quickly spread to all parts of the building
But few moments elapsed ere the light
suspended so plehtifully from the roof pour
f ed rain ofliquid fire on the people below
, and in loss than fifteen minutes over 90
r persons, mostly women and children, wer
5 blackened corps. Most of the men escape
through the Sacristry and side doors.

Dark Subject.

There are at present at Port Hudson, La, ,
some thirty regiments Of negro troops, in
each of which, as we learn, there is a school,
with commissioned officer detached as in
structor
We are not niggardly enough to grudgc
these dusky patriots the privileges thus ac-
corded to them, although we cannot resist
asking the question why our philanthro pic
abolitionists have not done the same thing
in the case of white soldiers? We do not
hear any suggestions relative to developing
intelligence among the pale-faces; it is only
where a man is fortunate enough to be
black, have peculiar curve to his shin
bone, and wear wool, instead of hair, that
he is deemed worthy of the attention of
eastern school mams and benevolent Off
cials.
Since the dusky descendants of HAM are
fully equal or superior to the Anglo-Saxon
race, according to PHILLIPS, MOWER and
LINCOLN, we must admire their patriotic
devotion to the object of their ''loyalty."

An Infatuated CONGRESS.

No man who wishes well for his county,
can read the telegraphic reports Of the pro
ceedings of that body, without feeling of
unutterable disgust and Indignation, The
abolition majority there will consider no
question but something connected with ne
groes, and they seem vindictivcly rcsolute
in postponing everything to their schemes
in this direction. The Senate of the United
States was once a respectable body. 1t
contained statesmen, orators, men of en-
larged patriotism. What is it now? What
is it but mere red republican conclave o.
men who utterly abhor the Constitution
made by our great ancestors, and the glo
rious Union which grew out of it. Upor
the door of the Chamber which contains
pestilent conspirators against the fabric o
our liberties, should be inscribed the omi
nous words which DANTE puts over the
gates of the Inferno: ''Who enters here
give up hope"

a Good One.

On election day in the town of Lafayette,
Monroe county, a gander shanked, big shoul-
dered abolitionst measuring over six feet in
his stockings, came shambling along up to
the polls, his hat set well back upon his
head, one hand in his pocket and his mouth
jammed full of the weed. ''IIallowl" he
sang out, "By - Iacant 10 rotc--I rant
a ticket to let tie nigger loose p And he
voted.
Thursday he was in Sparta, when he was
presented by the Deputy Provost Marshal
with notice that on Tuesday he had been
drafted. He read the notice over three or
four times-threw his cud out on the side
walk with spat--pulled his hat over his
forehead and drawled out ''Wall boys, the

Facts 10 Ponder!

The expenses Of the General Govern
ment during the first three years Of Il see
tional President, exceed the whole prcviou,
cost of the Government from the time oI
George Washington to the last hour Of the
administration of James Buchanan Thi;
is what the experiment of ruling the wholC
country according to the notions and preju
dices Of section costs the people in money
and property. What it has cost in health
life and limb, half million of broken con
stitutions, crippled bodies and new made
graves bear testimony.
1t is now time to fall back to the old plan
and place the Government in the hands O
patriots who will rule in the spirit of those
under whose guidance our Union grew il
greatness and strength till the whole worlc
looked down with admiration and wonder!

SuppOSe a Case.

Suppose the President, instead of his Pc
culiar and extraordinary amnesty" procla-
nation, had issued a full pardon to all rcb-
els, with certain exceptions, who should
within the next six months, cease rebellion,
return to their allegiance, and take an oath
to support the Constitution of the United
States,-does not the reader believe that
less than six months would see an end o.
the war and united country? We believe
it. Under the Presidents peculiar and ex
traordinary proclamation, when does tn,
reader expect to sec an end of the war an(
reunited country? Does he expect to iv,
to see them? We do not.

The Pay Of Soldiers.

The proposition agreed upon by the Dom
ocratic Members Of Congress at Washing
ton, to support bill which shall provide
for the payment of the soldiers in gold, oil
its equivalent, seems to be consistent, fail
and just The soldier ought not to suffer
by the depreciation of the currency. Al
the beginning of the war the soldiers thir
teen dollars month was equal to twent!
dollars in money to him now. We shall see i
the pretended friends of the soldier will yot
to make him stand the depreciation, o
whether they make his thirteen dollar
by handing it over in coin or in its equiva
lent.

Won't Submit TO AN Investigu
ton Of Frauds

1t will be well for the people to bear ir
mind that late proposition offered in Con
gress by Mr. Wood for an investigation OF
frauds in the military, naval and civil de-
partments, was smothered. Some Repub-
licans were in favor of the measure. Their
conscience could not stand the idea of deny
ing the people redress for the terrible pecu-
lations which have been committed by high
and low officials; but large majority would
not entertain the resolution in any shape -
So it will be seen that these pure patriots,
loyal people, think that it is perfectly
right to deny innocent men fair trials, anc
perfectly right to screen guilty men from
any inquiry whatever. This is the aboli
ton Canaan into which the white hatteC
JOSHUA of the New York Tribune ha,
guided us.

A resolution is before the Ohio Legisla
ture to pay the Governor and members ol
the Legislature in gold. "He that provid-
eth not for his own household hath denied
the faith and is worse than an inidel."
1t is true the last Legislature cut down
the per diem of the members of the present
Legislature to starvation rates, and that
the present Legislature has no power to in
crease it for themselves. We think it wo d
bo wise in the present Legislature to repeal
the bill passed by the last so that those cleo
ted in 1865 may have chance to live.

From the Statesman.
The AttOrney-GeneraI on Tod.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,


COLUMBUS, o., Jan II, 1863.
EDITOR STATESMAN On arriving bore
last evening from New York, where have
been since the first inst, assisting in the
payment Of interest on the State debt |
learned that in his Message to the General
Assembly, Tod had made reference to the
Attorney General and, in pursuance of a
resolution of the House, had submitted spe-
cifications-one based upon the verbal state
ment Of one Cole, and the other upon the
statement of Wright and Dorsey. was
pleased with the specifications, as they were
much more unimportant than the general
charge to be inferred from the Message
itself.
The specifications are---frst Neglect of
duty in regard to paying the interest on the
State debt; and second, Neglect in not at
tending on the Board of Military Claims.
That the interest was fully and promptly
paid, and that the Board allowed none but
lust claims do not seem to be questioned,
Therefore, the State has suffered no detri-
ment, and the public can afford to suspend
opinion upon the charges until a counter
statement and showing of the whole truth
is furnished. That statement and showing
| will make in a few days, and it will en-
brace the following points:
iloW Jne Attorney -ucneral is connected
by law with the payment of the interest
on the State debt, and how that duty was
performed. Also as to how often the Board
of Claims met How often there was no
quorum. How often the Board failed to
meet What the Board did, and what the
Attorney-General did and how far the
statement of Wright and Dorsey is from
being full and true. Also, how the fact
that there was no money in the Treasury
to pay any expenses incident to the contest
of the validity of claims might have effected
the performance of the Attorney General S
duty.
1t may be proper to state here that | re-
gret to have been placed between two gen
temen, Mr.. Cathcart and Mr. Tod-both
of whom are indicted for crimes involving
official perjury. The official delinquencies
of neither of them are chargeable to this
office. And while to be charged falsely
with derilection of official duty is quite un-
pleasant, it is made somewhat more so to
come from a person who figures on the
criminal lists of the State
