A scene ia aIonieomsry in 1861.

jeremiah CIemans, an old Democrat, in
q Union speech at Huntsville, Alabama,
shows how Alabama was dragged into the
rebellion:
ain 1884, said Mr.. c., "shOrily after
the Confederate Government was put into
operation. was in the city Of Montgom-
cry. One day stepped into the Office Of
the Secretary Of War, General Walker, and
found there engaged in q very excited dis
soussion, Mr. Jefferson Davis, Mr.. Mem
minEer, Mr.. Benjsmin, Mr.. GilchFist, q
member Of our Legislature from Lowndes
County, and number Of other prominent
gentlemen. They were discussing the
propriety Of Immediately opening Ere on
Fors Sumter, to which General Walker,
ths secretsry Of War, appeared to be OPP
posed. Mr.. Gilohrist said TO him: Sir,
-unless yog sprinkle blood in the face Of
the peoples sf AlSbams, they viii be back
In tie Old Onion in less than ten days 7
The next day General Beauregnrd opened
his batteries on Sumter, and Alsbsma was
saved 70 the Confedersey."

FROM THE POTOMAC ARMY.
New YoRK- March %

NEW 4OAhy u1dEOH
A Herald's special from the Army Of the
Potomac says:
Lieutenant General Grant was loudly
chsered at different stations as he passed
on to the front. At Brandy Station he was
met by Major General Meade, who &C.
companied hin. to Culpepper. On arrival
there, General Grant was met by a brilliant
array of military men. The station was
crowded with troops enoamped in the vi
cinity, who displayed an unusual anxiety
to catch glimpse Of the distinguished
hero.
Here was Major General Newton, at
tended by Generals Butler, Brsxter and
Kinly, division commanders, and General
Merritt commanding 1st cavalry division.
The party rode to General Newton's head
quarters, whence General Grant, accom-
panied by General Meade, proceeded in the
morning to the headquarters selected for
the General.in-C Chief.
. Generals Grants arrival wss entirely
unostentatious.

THE RooLIsH CANT.

t1t is high time that this foolish cant
about there being but one issue, viz: War
or Pesoe, should be ended. p Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
The Plain Dealer is entitled to its opin-
ion. So far as its share Of Hthis foolish
cant" is concerned, ii can end it as soon
ss it pleases, and when il has done so,
there will be one voice less in the canticle.
The Plain Dealer is RVoWedly in favor Of
q Presidential csnVsss upon q collateral
iss1e-upcn the conduct Of the war: "the
PifFpOss for which this vdT Is wdged, and the
mode IA vhiek it should be SGgsd." Such
are its views Of just policy for the Dem
ocFsuc party. They are not Ours nor
those cf the masses Of the party Of Ohio.
We propose, in the paragraphs which fol-
low, to examine the point little.
DKEooRATs, WHO 90 IN EoR WAR, JUSTIFY
THE WAR.
By joining an Issue upon the conduct Of
the war the Democratic, party becomes
committed TO the principle upon which the
war was begun: admits that the Admins
SzatiOR Sas right in beginning it; and
that IL has only failed by an injudicious
use Of the means in its power Standing
in this position, the party must found its
title 20 success at the election upon the
ground hat it is prepared to prosecute the
war more >Fgorously and more inexorably
than itspredeo Nssor; to step into its shoes,
take the implementS y and materials as they
drop from It's hand, G'NeoUe the legitimate
heir 10 its chances Of success, aHd to It's
ehGsees Of Jailsrs also in f. FsI to eEter in
to game that is nearly PLACED out Snc
ss nearly lost, and allowing soe other
party 10 withdraw its stake, put is own
in the place, and become responsib.s = u
the country to win, or, losing, to incur q.
the forfeitures, as we'll those Of the past
IS Of the future.
TIE PLAIN DEALERS LIMITED VISION.
Politicians like our cotemporarY of the
Plain Desler seldom stretch their Rlances
Into the future bey ond the day Of nomina-
ton. Bysn extraordinary effort they may
sometimes get as far as the day Of election ;
but that is the utmost limit Of the range
Of their telescopes. Let up, in imseins-
ton, overleap both these periods, and Law
ing aside, for the occasion, sll doubts Of the
Success Of a moTesVigorous-pros
candidate, suppose one to have been
eleoted and inaugursted. Here, q fool
would conclude that all the difficulties
were over; q wise man would see that they
were about 10 begin. Now late in the Sea-
Scr, With depleted country, discontented
peop1e, ana exhausted finances, the Ad-
ninistration is to be reorganized, the ar
mics remodled, new plans and policy de-
ei1ed upon, and ends achieved which the
other party, with an abundance Of men
and means, with the country in its fullest
strength, and the people liberal and enthu-
siastic, snd with more time than they asked
for the purpose, were unable to secure.

of Ohio, pOlled one hundred and eighty
seven thousand votes for peace oandi-
dste-the largest vote Of its history-it is
several political centuries behind the
times. The party has passed beyond the
spot where it is erected and shows no
disposition to return. Highly architectu-
raj, therefore, as it is in its proportions,
and srtistioal IS are its parts, we suspect
that its fame in the future will have to
rest rather upon these qualities than upon
its adaptation to the wants or the senti-
msnts Of the party for which, at SO large
an expense it was constructed.

WHITE, Judges.
GENERAL DOCKET.
No. 2s6 Andrew B. Ingersou vs.. William Mar
low. Error to the Common Pleas of Wyandot
Brinkerhof, C. J.:
The case below was the contest Of an election
for the office Of Sheriff Of Wyandot county. 1t
was supposed to involve the question as to the
constitutional validity of the act Of April l3,
1858, to enable qualified voters Of this State in
the military service Of this State, or of the Unit
ed States, to exercise the right OF suffrage. And
that question, it seems, was passed on by the
Cour. below; nevertheless it dismissed the case
for want OF Jurisdiction, on the ground that no.
tees of appeal had not been entered with the
Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas within the
time prescribed by law as required in the thirty
sixth section Of the act to regulate the election
of State and county officers. ! S. 4 G. $50. From
the facts as they appear on record, We are con-
strained TO say and We are unanimously of opin-
ion that the Court below was right in dismissng
the case on the grounds mentioned. We are Of
opinion that the appeal mentioned in the thir-
ty-sixth section Of the act to regulate elections
and the t'eontest" mentioned in succeeding sec
tions, refer to the same proceeding; and that no.
tlce OF appeal to be entered with the Clerk of the
Court OF Common Pleas, and notice Of the con-
test to be given to the contestee, are both neces
sary to confer upon the Court Of Common Pleas
jurisdiction Of the case and Of the parties The
time for the giving Of both these notices is, by
the proyiso to the seventeenth section Of the act
of 1868, extended to fifty days after the election
instead Of twenty as provided in the original act
But in this case the notice Of contest or appeal
was not entered with the Clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas until some sixty days after the
election, and came too late to give that court ju-
risdictiOn OF the case. Hence, having no case
before US involving the question, we are unable
70 pass upon the constitutional validity Of the
act Of 1858. We're we to assume to do so, any
expression Of opinion by us would be mere ob b.
ter dietG. We regret this result; the constitu-
tional question has been thoroughly argued be-
fore US, as it one Of great public iaterest, and
its speedy determination would tend to quiet the
public mind and relieve important public and
private interests from sus pense.
Order dsmissing case for want of proper no.
tice Of appeal, affirmed

Special to the Cleveland Leader

81. PAUL, March rs.
The ice in the river at this point ran out
this morning, and nothing but q little
floating ice is now to be seen. Boats will
run to Red Wing Head of Lake Pepin
and up the MinnesOts by Wednesday if the
weather continues favorable. Boats will
pass through the Lake in ten days.
There are 1880 men in our frontier gar
risons, as the main force for the summer
expedition with General sully, on the Mis-
souri, river. This ought to be enough to
protect us from Indian horse thieves. We
could spare Grant full regiment without
detriment to the State. The sixth regiment
ought to be ordered to the Potomac.

Cant Go the Platform.


Our simile of the lion and the lamb, to
which we compared the Plain Dealer and
Enquirer, yesterday morning, has been
dashed away by the Enquirer which repu-
dates the idea of lying down like lamb,
with the lion. 1t comes out boldly and re-
pudistes the platform, and cuts itself lose
from the miscegenstion democracy.
THE COLUMBUS PLATFORM.
The platform adopted at Columbus is
characterized by great constructive sdroit-
ness, though, we are forced to confess, not
with the highest Of all arts, the art which
ooncesls itself. 1t is not very distinctly in
favor Of war, nor very distinctly in favor
of peace, nor very distinctly opposed to
either. 1t is gotten up on the idea that il
the Democratic party will, in its literature
only spread itself over ground enough, it
will be sure TO win. Its authors, we do not
doubt, conceived that, in its Construction,
they had trimed and balanced things very
exactly, and Of this praise we have no de-
sire to deprive them, for the fact is no more
distinctly percepible to US than it will be
to all who read it carefully. 1t speaks, we
are convinced, rather the desires Of its su
thors for a party success, than the necessi-
ties Of the country for peace.
1t is not platform to be enthusiastic
upon, for there is no esrnestness init
nothing which indicates that the leaders
upon whom its composition devOlved hs9
any just conception Of the real condition
Of the country, or Of the sentiments Of
the masses Of the Democratic party. For
Q party which six months ago, in the Stats
