We hope that the came apathy anu i' y
d;fsrence which gave to the Republicans
the victory in the county election will not
prevail next Tuesday. If every Democratic
vote in West Virginia is polled, the sta'e
can be easily carried for MCCLELLAN and
PrspLEroN. Hence, in Ohio county, where
We knov we have majority, let us retrieve
the disaster of the 9th, and show ourselves
worthy Of freedom. The man who in ibis
crisis of the nations fate stays away ana
refuses to cast his vote, for fear that pc
may thereby incur the i'll. will of some "a
natisal neighbor, or for fear OF being caileo
"copperhead," or some equally oppro'
brious epithet, is not fit for freedom, nor
worthy to be an American citizen. 10 DC

+ Ne sfe sure shat every reader Of this
Ejopfnal bersued with eqtials urprise and
indignation The report We yesterday gave
from tle eolnmas Of 3 Republican print in
|ahIs city, reciting the Testimony borne by
|oos Pardon Worelsy inNthe case. of Mes,
n johnson & Sutton, dry goods mer-
chants of this city now on trial before the
MILITARY Commission of which General
Fessenasnfs President, upon the charge Of
sailing goods to blockade runners and con
traband traders within the lines of the
enemy. ~ ~
It appears from the testimony of this
witness, produced on the, part Of the Gov
ertnenf that be, With BIZ wife, ivss en-
gagged about the 1st of April last, and sent
out by the Government as q principle in
the nefarious business to which the accused
merchants are charged with being accesso
ries. This man, the Governments wit
ness, swore that .. eJtfoss0
"He sold goods to Mosby and his officers
under the direction and with the knowl-
edge of the Government, and he always IN
formed the Government of What he did.
Witness wife was also in the same bust
ness, and was compensated by the Govern
ment. Witness had made money BY selling
goods, but had not divided proceeds with
the Government. Witness gave bonds to
the Government, and they took his honor
for the faithful performance of his duty
If Worsley, the Governments agent
and its witness on this trial, was allowed
to sell goods to- Mosby and his officers "un
der the direction and with the knowledge
of the Government" it follows that the
Government is the principal in this contra
band trade, and it appears that Worsley
was paid agent for the prosecution of the
illegal traffic with the enemy. Under such
circumstances, Messrs. johnson & Sutton,
the victims of this Government agent, may
be put on trial before military commission
for furnishing goods to Mosby, but in real
ity it Is the administration or War Departs
ment which will be put on trial before the
bar of public opinion in the loyal States
If this witness is to be believed, that he
was in the habit of trading with Mosby
and his officers under the direction of
the Government" and while carrying on
this illegal traffic, he "always informed the
Government of what he did" It will be
seen, therefore, that the Government does
not object to such illicit trade, but, if we
may judge from the prosecution now pend
ing in this city, desires to claim for itself a
monopoly in this business.
We await further developments in this
affair before making it the subject of such
reflections as its abhorrent character de-
serves, if the statements of this witness
should stand uncontradicted.- Intel

CIosing Up.

Congress succeeded, late on Saturday
night, in perfecting the new Copscription
bill. Under this act, drafts may DO made
for one, two or three years; bounties OF
tl00, 5000, and 5000, are to be awardedfor
one, two and three years service respective
ly. Communication is no more; but every
one drafted may serve in person or by suo-
stitutc, and City days notice must be gwen
before enforcing the draft Each state Is
at liberty to obtain substitutes in the States
in insurrection and have them credited on
her auota. We do not see how the act
could have bees rendered more lenient, 1t

armies is TO be kept in view, ....t t...
When the first CONSUMPTION Act was
passed, we heartily approved and sustained
The Communication therein embodied. SO
long as the Government could find substi-
tutes for $500, it uss wise and right to nc
cept that sum instead of personal service,
and use it to obtain willing instead of an
unwilling soldier. But times have changed,
compelling change in the laws. The War
Department. which at first held the $500 a
full equivalent for personal service, now re-
ports a vitality changed state of facts. =
Labor is scarce and wages high, so thai
money is largely paid in as commutation
and the $500 each will no longer procure re
cruits to the extent required. The Rebel
have called out their every white male VIII,

But the waste of the campaign has beer

Death of Josiah Quincy.

The Hon. Josiah Quincy died at
Quincy. Mass, on Friday afternoon at the
age of nnety-twO. He was born in Boston
on the 4th Of Feb, l772, was prepared for
College at Andover, Mass, and graduated
at Harvard College in 1870, of which insti.
tuition he had been for several years the old
est living alumnus. He studied law and
practiced his profession for a few years. In
1904 he was elected to the State Senate,
and IN 1905 took his seat in Congress, ser
wing till 1873. He was one Of the leaders
ofthe Federal party, opposing the Louisiana
purchase and the war of 1912 with great en-
ergy. In 1921 he was elected to the Mas
sachusetts House of Representatives, and in
1922 was Speaker He soon after resigned
his seat to take the Office of Municipal
Judge of Boston In this position he made
famous decision in the case of Mr.. Buck
ingham, charged with libel on Rev. j. ~
Matlitt, that the publication of the truth
with good intention and a justifable end,
was not libelous. In 1923 he was elected
Mayor Of Boston, being the second incum-
bent of that Office. From 1929 to lS45 he
was President of Harvard College, the
somewhat disordered finances OF which he
adjusted with groat skill. During the re.
mainder Of his life he took little action in
pubic. affairs, except in 1856 when he earn,
estly advocated Fremont's election to the
Presidency, He was the author, among
other valuable works. oflives Of his father,
Josiah Quincy, Of Samuel Shaw and John
Quincy Adams, and Histories of Harvard
College and the Boston Atheneum and oi
Municipal History of Boston, published
on his cightieth birthday. Hs retained hi.
general health and freshness Of mind to .he
last, having ridden out only the day before
his death. Few men have displayed more
thorough executive ability, and real prncti
cal talent without brilliant genius than Mr..
