THE glaring inconsistency of the Admin
istration is notorious, andis not denied even
by Mr.. Lincoln himself who explains the
Contradictions and devious windings of his
course by saying that he has been, and is,
"controlied by events" Mr.. Cox, in some
remarks on Monday, in discussion on re-
pealing the fugitive slave law, thus alludes
to very prominent .'event" which lately
controlled the Administration:
s.The Administration and its friends
while refusing to give up black men, find
no difficulty in obsequiously surrenderine
white man enjoying the right of asylum
at the request of the Spanish Minister"
Who dares assert that, as at present ad.
mir,istered, this is white mans govern
ment?-C Chicago Times.

An Editor Shot.
from The Rushvile (Ill.) Times, May 2e.l

lFrom The Rushvllle lll.) llnes May zo.l
Mr.. A. ID. Davies, the former editor of Tho
Times, left here some several weeks ago on
a business tour through Missouri. Last
week his wife received letter from him,
dated forty miles from Kansas City, May l,
containing the following information: He,
in company with two men from Iowa,
named Ewing, started from Dresden, sta
ton on the Pacific railroad, for Kansas City.
When within forty miles of their destina-
ton. they were arrested by party of men
calling themselves Federal soldiers, were
examined and sentenced to be shot as rebel
spies. He further states that the man who
was in this town in company with Sheriff
Nets and Judge Glen, was with the party
and recognized him. One hour was given
him to write to his family, but, before he
had finished his letter, he was called upon
to prepare for execution. The letter was
mailed at Warrensburg, Missouri. He leaves
a wife and two children to mourn his sad
fate.

Special correspondence of The Cincinnati Gazette.
Il DAYTON, June 16.

Special correspondence Of The Cincinnati Gazette.
DAYTON, June 16.
The people of this city were greatly
startled last evening about 9 o'clock, BY the
announcement that the exile Vallandigham
had returned to the State of Ohio, and was
then at his residence, The announcement
took every one by surprise, for 1t had not
been intimated to even his most personal
friends that he had left Canada. The report
spread rapidly, and before O'Clock quite
large crowd had collected in front of his
house. After waiting some two hours, Mr..
Vallandigham appeared on the steps Of the
back door, and stated that he was very much
fatigued, and would be compelled to defer
receiving them until this morning; a few OF
| the most popular Democratic politicians of
the county who were present, however, were
| admitted, and the balance of the crowd
quietly dispersed, not more than ten or a
dozen remaining later than II o'clock. Atan
early hour this morning Mr.. Vallandigham's
house was thrown open, and from that time
until three =. NJ, a continual stream of
visitors was passing in and out. Vallandig-
ham was standing at the head of the stairs.
His, countenance looks care-worn and hag-
gard but he is rather stouter than he was
during his trial by court-martial in Cincin-
natl. His friends assert that he never en-

Shook hands and spoke with each of his
guests, but made no public remarks. A
general wish having been expressed that
he shonld address a public meeting to-
night, he said that it would crafty him
very much to do so, but that owing to eX-
cessive fatigue he would be compelled to
defer it until some future time. Every
train which arrives brings hundreds of his
friends, and the city is completely filled
with strangers. The city Is comparatively
quiet to-day. Knots of men can he seen on
almost all the street corners, discussing the
question of his return, and the probable
course the Government will pursue in re-
gard to his re-arrest. All conclusions az
rived at however, are mere conjectures, for
| if even the United States authorities here
have received any Instructions i'm regard to
the course which they shall pursue in the
| matter, they have been kept strictly conf
Dental, not even the slightest hint having
been developed. Itis evident that Mi: VAL
landigham has suspicious that he will be
re-arrested, for IN all his conversations with
his visitors he says that should it come he
will meet it bravely, and asks his friends to
stand by him. This they have promised to
do, but it remains to be seen wheth, they
will keep their promises. a few days at
the most, will be sufficient to settle the
question.

The situation.

The telegraph brings the tidings of the
capture of Petersburg by GRANTs's army.
This is the first result of the fifth and last
grand flanking movement. This settles the
fate of Richmond, unless LEE can defeat
GRANT in an open field fight, for which the
latter General has been maneuvering from
the commencement of the campaign. The
siege of Richmond with Petersburg i'll the
hands of the besiegers, renders the fall of
the Capital a certainty, and the only thing
left for her is to try the fortune of pitched
battle in the open field. LEES vancouver
ing Is at an end; the time for blows, hard
and decisive, has arrived. The advantages
are with GRANT, and destiny seems to have
moulded him as the man to crush the breast
plate of the rebellion.

Terrible Report About Wounded
Soldiers in the wilderness.

A remarkable state of facts has just come
to light relative to some wounded soldiers
left in the Wilderness ever since the battles
were fought there last month. Within a
few days quite a number who were conva-
lescent succeeded in reaching Alexandria
from that locality, having made rudecrutch-
es out of trees, SO that they walked all the
way in, some sixty miles. They reported
that there were large number of wounded
remaining behind in the most destitute con-
dition. and that they were subsisting in the
open country as best they could. General
Slough reported these facts to General
Augur, commanding this department., who
sent out cavalry and ambulance train to
bring them in. On arriving at the Wilder
ness, it was found that the rebels had just
been there and taken away some two hun
dred, leaving only the worst cases, who
were broughtto Alexandria. Fifteen, how
ever, died on the way. There has been
gross neglect somewhere, and an investi-
CATION will doubtless be had to see who is
responsible for leaving wounded men on
the battlefield for over a month. 3al

The Morgan Rnid Ciaims-Singu-
lar Proceedings Of the COmmis-

For several days past we have had three
Commissioners sitting here whose duties,
under law of the Legislature OF last win
| ter, are to hear and receive all the claims of
all persons who had sustained losses by the
Morgan raid through Ohio last summer
These commissioners were appointed by
Gov. Brough, we learn, and sent out upon
their mission, with what instructions we
are unadvised. Everybody supposed that
when the agents of the State proceeded to
the performance of a public duty, they
would act as public men and not us mere
party political buncumbe manufacturers
An honest and fair Interpretation of the
object of the Legislature in creating this
commission is, to ascertain all damages sus-
tanned by the people by the Morgan raid,
irrespective of party, so that body could
know what amount of money to appropriate
for the liquidation of those claims, as sug-
gested by them that they would do at a
future session.
These three State officials are sitting to
receive the claims of all who sustained
losses by the Morgan raid. When man
presents himself before their august high
nesses, he is required to take an oath-oath
of allegiance or something of that sort
though he may have before sworn to his
bill of loss before justice of the peace. He
lc Jlltll dShcu " pOttteCutp pufty
and is catechised as to his political opinions.
If.he submits to this, his answers are taken
down, and his politics are noted upon his
bill.
The conduct OF these commissioners be-
coming known outdoors, many honest men
who had sustained losses and who had them
all fixed up and sworn to, refused to pre-
sent them, choosing rather tolose all than to
subject themselves to such insulting indig--
mites. Some of the attorneys have refused
to present claims, not feeling willing to
practice in such court, or to subject them
selves to its dogmatical catechising. We
learn that all claimants who present them
selves before this courtare catechised in the
same manner-it, seemingly being the OBJ
ject of this smelling committee to scent out
tile politics of every man who comes before
them. ,
1t has been suggested by some, that every
man who is not willing to submit himself
to the process of this commission. make out
his bill of loss, have it attested by Justice
of the peace, and lay it away for future

The Treasury Department Anves-
LEGATIONS.

The Treasury Investigating Committee,
after about ten days suspension, have re-
sumed operations again, and commenced
the examination of witnesses. An effort
was made by Mr. Garfield, the chairman, to
bring before the committee black woman
to impeach the testimony ofa white woman.
He failed in his efforts. They have received
an elaborate statement from the Secretary
of the Treasury, in which he attempts to
exculpate Mr.. Clark. A statement has also
been received from Clark in which he at
tempts to show that the conduct of his de-
partment is not only correct, but above sus-
picion. There will be majority ard mi-
liority report. The former will attempt to
whitewash the affair. The latter will show
up the parties in all their naked detormity.
There are some startling developments.

APernmbuIating Inquisition.

For the invention of ingenius contrivan-
ces by which loyal patriots can pilfer from
the public Treasury and electioneer for 10y
al candidates, the present loyal Abolition
party stands pre-eminently the most ac-
complished. The Federal Administration
has exhausted the ingenuity of New Eng
land in the invention OF new offices for the
reward of the faithful; but in this business
It found rival in the Ohio Legislature last
winter. That august body contrived seve-
raj new devices of this character, which
will remain in the history of the State en-
during monuments of the disinterested
patriotism of their authors, and the virgin
purity and loyalty of those who filled the
positions. We do not now allude to the
soldiers allotment agency, by which patri-
otic humanitarians are enabled to draw
three hundred dollars from the State Treas
ury for collecting one hundred dollars of
soldiers money; neither do we refer to the
little outside pickings by those agents, such
as charging their boot backing and street
railroad fare to the State. The present sub
ject of our enthusiastic reflections is the
Board, established by the General Assem-
bly,, ssto examine the claims against the
State growing out of the Morgan raid"
This is one of the most ingenius contrivan-
ces on the list, and, though in operation
but ashort time, it has elected marked at
tention and enthusiastic admiration from
the country press of Ohio. 'H
This Board, of which Mr.. ALFRED Nc
Weigh, gentleman with a patriarchal
beard and plentiful lack of brains, is
President, appears to have resolved itself
into sort of perambulating commission to
correct the morals and stimulate the 'loy-
altyo of the people Of Ohio. Its members
are very well qualified for their business;
they perform their arduous duties with
much vigor, and draw their stipend of
SI25 per month with admirable punctu-
atty and promptness. That they draw their
pay regularly, there is evidence on record ;
that they perform their other duties faith
fully, we infer from the accounts which
come up from the various places they have
visited. The ostensible object of the crea-
tion Of the Board was the adjustment Of the
Morgan raid claims; its real object appears
to be, to electioneer for the Abolition party
BY hectoring and bullying all who do not
belong to that party presenting claims for
settlement If a man presents his claim,
they first ask ii he is "loyal;" If he an
swers yea, they then ask what political par

GlsM MCHSe
JOIN w. FoRNEY has established his
reputation as President LINcoLN's dog
There is nothing too vile for him to do, and
his idea of journalismis groyeling servility
to his master. Whenever there is dirty
thing to be done for the Administration,
FoRNEY does it; whenever there is n mean
thing to be defended, FoRNEY defends it;
whenever there is debasing act to be per-
formed, FoRNEY is on hand with canine
eagerness to do it. Sneaking around the
White House, breathing its tainted atmos-
phere, imprcgnated with the ideas of vlll-
gar shoddy aristocracy prevailing there,
FoRNEY's dogship turns up his nose at what
he calls the "dirty foreigners" who have
the temerity to come to America to COM
pete with our gifted and lovely "African
brother" Hear him express himself upon
this subject in The Philadelphia Press, the
organ of the Kitchen Cabinet:
ssThe influx of Immigrants into this port
seems to be upon the increase. Some steam
ers are forced to lie at anchor for fOur-and-
twenty hours before the emigrant barge is
ready for their precious cargoes OF liberty
seeking and soap-and-water avoiding hu
manity. Sailing down our harbor toward
Sandy Hook, one is vividly impressed with
the vast proportion assumed by this never
ebbing tide which is now seeking our
shores. Here. there, everywhere, are the
steamers and ships, with their decks black
ened as though with swarms OF locusts-the
rough-and-tumble of Europe seeking asy-
IL. o..~Hk na,., IN fnly af
in this land of Indigestion. This supply of
vessels is perennial. Up they come, over
the bar, by night and by day, and vomit
their screaming and tugging masses upon
the decks of the emigrant barge. Their
baggage follows, checked at duelling dis
tance, by apprehensive inspectors of GUS
toms, who have been taught, by experience,
to avoid that manifest appearance OF evil
which exists in the greasy begrimed eX-
teriors of trunks and boxes, which are so
many Augean Stables ION an insectile scale).
These gropers in the dark after the straight
Democratic ticket" fill the harbor with the
floating refuse of their provision boxes, the
straw from their disgusting beds, and go
straight to Castle Garden, where a kind
and beneficent Government has ordained
that each shall be bathed, nolens uotens, in
due form of law, before being turned into
the bosoms of Tammany and Mozart Halls"
This is the cropping out of the Know
Nothing element in the Abolition party,
and is intended as a threat to the dirty
Dutch" who dare to oppose the master OF
the dog FoRNEY at the ballot-box. If such
administrations as the one which feeds and
fattens FoRNEY are to be the rule in the
United States, immigrants will cease to seek
this country as an asylum. They will en-
Joy more freedom and can serve a nobler
aristocracy in their native land.

Judging s'loyalty" as McVEIGH or BABBrrr
or BARKERp Pure and virtuous menl they
are in the 'loYaltyn business; they get their
daily bread by testing sloyalty;" is it then
to be supposed that they don't understand
.'loyaltyp" Their definition Of loyalty" Is
comprehensive. Every man is 'loyar who
votes the Abolition ticket and is in favor Of
everybody going into the Army except
himself; every one who thinks otherwise
Il "disloyal," and TO object to this defni-
ton of loyalty is to be disloyal. The In
quisltors do not say to sman; "Here, ifyou
vote the Abolition ticket, your claim will be
paid; if you don't it is worthless" but that
is precisely the effect of the Inquisition's
proceedings.
This trio of patriots have an extensive
| task on their hands; their tat job will last
for year, probably, and their services viii
cost the State as much, perhaps, as tht
claims will come to. The members of the
Board have no other business to attend t
but the claim business, and that can be ex
tended indefinitely. While the money il
the Treasury holds out, these gentlemen
will continue to afiliet the people OF th'
State by their insolence, and there Is nc
help for it. If we had Governor whose
mind was capable of entertaining liberal
just or fair proposition, we would ap
peal to him to abate this perambulatins
nuisance, and cali McVEIGH and his Puncl
and Judy to an account for the insults they
l have already heaped upon the people wh'
have applied to them for redress; but the
Executive is in the same boat with tht
) Board, and will recognize '1oyalty" as
sufficient excuse for acts which, If COM
mitted under any other name, would make
even BRoUGH blush. Loyalty" in the eyes
of our rulers, covers every sin, from rob-
bing soldier of his hard earned money oi
his just rations, to plundering people oi
devastating a State; ''loyalty," in short, is
becoming badge of infamy Of which fu'
ture generations will be ashamed!
