rhn crnne Cnnrt MARTIAL.

The court martial for the trial of Col.
John c. Crane, at Nashville, to which ref
erence has been made in these columns,
resumed its sessions on the 18th inst7 and
commenced to hear the testimony for the
defense. Dispositions of witnesses in va
rious Northern cities were read. The evil
dence shows that Colonel Crane bought
goods from firms in those cities, and was
charged from fifteen to twenty-five per
cent. above cash prices ON all the goods he
|. bought. The reason given for charging
these rates was the discount on Govern
ment vouchers, and having to wait from
two weeks to nine months for pay. The
| evidence shows Colonel Crane had no
choice in pure hasing from any particular
house. and could not get anything that he
might order from the different manufac-
tories in anything like a short time, on ac-
count of dealers having orders ahead three
or o Il months, and had more than they
could supply; that raising the price OF
railroad stores was on account OF the rising
and falling of gold, scarcity of articles IL
the market, the great demand for sucl
stores, the inability to fill orders, and the
high price paid fOrlabor; that goods ranged
in 1864 from n hundred to two hundred
and as high as three hundred per cent
above first cost. The case for the defens'
has been closed, and the arguments com
mnnce today.

The new Episcopal Diocese of Pitts
burgh was organized by a convention Of
clerical andlay delegates from the churches
within the territory of the diocese, The
election for Bishop came off on Thursday
last, and resulted in the choice of Rev. DIR.
Kerfoot, President of Trinity College,
New Haven, one of the leading conserva-
tives in the recent National Episcopal
Convention. Considerable opposition was
manifested to this choice, nine clergymen
out of the twenty-eight present voting for
DIR. Huntington. The vote ofthe lay del
egates stand l9 in favor Of approving the
choice of the clergy, and 8 opposed. A
motion to make the election unanimous
was withdrawn, as members of the con-
vention declared hat they should vote
against it if it was pressed.

Gen. Loran and MeXieo.

Quite a sensation has very naturally
been created by the appointment of Major
General John A. Logan as Minister to the
Republican Government of Mexico, and
certainly the selection for that position OF
a man who only a fortnight ago declared
in the presence CT a vast and applauding
audience that the Macmillan government
in Mexico was part and parcel of the
slave holders rebellion, and that 1t was
the duty Of u Government to suppress
it, is a very significant indication OF the d.
rection of Presidential sympathies. We
do not look, however, upon this step as an
Inauguration of anymew policy, more ae-
| lively hostile to Macmillan, but simply as
a continued protest against his usurpation,
and an avowal of unfriendly feeling to-
wards it.
Since the appointment has been made,
the widest and most contradictory OF ru'
mors have been in circulation as to whether
it would or would not be accepted, and some
vervfoolish and undiplomat cspeeches have
been attributed to Gen. L., as, LOT III
stance, that he would only go to Mexico
if backed by twenty thousand soldiers. L
is sufficient to say that General Logan
who was on Saturday in Chicago, had not
up to that time received any notification 0
his appointment, and of course can neithe
accept or reject it. Ii has been suggested
that the mission will be a merely honorar,,
one, and that the General will adniniSte
it from his home in C~avlendale, merel
sending out a new Secretary of Legation
to relieve the present incumbent. Ii TIN
suggestion be carried out, General Logan
war-like speeches about Mexican matter
will lose very much of their force and sig
nifcance.

An Appeal in Behalf of the Destitute
Freedmen.

Elsewhere IN to-day's paper we print an
a." Appeal for a Thanksgiving Collection,
in Behalf of the Suffering Freedmen" by
the Cleveland Freedmen's Aid Society,
and would call the special attention of our
readers to the subject. Unless timely aid
is furnished, there will be unparalleled
sufeFing among the blacks of the South
the coming winter. All accounts agree in
representing their condition as most pitt
able. The ~telegraphlc news from day to
day repeats the apprehension, and news
papers and correspondents in the South
furnish reliable information to the same
effect. Several gentlemen of this city,
who have recently returned from an ex-
~tensive tour of observation through the
| South, testify to the great restitution
among the freedmen, made worse by the
spirit Of retaliation which exists in the for
mer slave owners. The approaching Ma
tional Thanksgiving will be a fit occasion
for the collection of funds to be applied,
under judicious management, to the relief
Of these poor people.
The present and apprehended destitu-
lion among the freedmen is the natural
result of their changed condition. I'm
doubtedly they could, to some extent, have
provided against it themselves but it was
not to be expected they would do SO.
Unused to selfcare during their long bond
age, simple, improvident, dependent as
children, more or less of suffering and des-
tuition naturally attend their sudden
emancipation. Time must be given them
for se~lf-education. Time must be given
for the food of fierce passion, hatred and
prejudice of the once ~all-powerful ruling
class to subside. Until then the con-
dition of the negroes will be one of severe
trial, persecution in every petty manner,
bodily suffering and mental anguish
Clearly, then, it is a Christian duty to as.
siss them to the extent of our ability. W,
must care for them as we would for suffer
: ing children. The path they tread from
The darkness of slavery out into the sun
shine of freedom is rough beyond our con
ceptions.
Z The noble charity of the Northern
States, which, during the war, poured sue
d bountiful blessings into army hospitals an,
among our soldiers in the field, through tn
II channels of the Aid Societies, Christia,
Commissions, etc, will now be directed /
behalf of the race for whose elevation tn
war was fought. These organizations sti
exist, and their machinery can be used fc
this new work. Here in Northern OH
and vicinity the Soldiers Aid Societies an
Christian Commissions willmerge into IL
Freedmen's Aid Commission. Their wor
wilInot only be to care for and educa-
the blacks, but will also include the elev;
: ton of the poor and ignorant whites. 4
he a beginning, let every one, on Thanksgi'
ing Day, make It aduty TO give 10 the e
tent of his means in aid of this work. Go
l~ections will be taken up on that occasiC
Cd in churches of all denominations.

were gathered that evening in a kitchen:
1--WE want to do something for the old

burden of their talk. They agreed to-

AN APPEAL FOR ATHANKSGIVING
COLLECTION,
In BehaI of the suffering Freedmen.

Ina Behalf Of the Suffering ~eedfn
1t Is customary upon days of thanksgiv-
ing to manifest our gratitude torthe a bun
dant favors vouchsafed us, by generous
gifts for the poor and needy. We submit
the cause of the suffering freedmen to the
consideration of pastors ana Churches as
having special claims. 1t is well known
that at the present time the condition of
the blacks at the South is lamentable.
Although no class Of people in
the United States have : strug-
gled with adversely more manfully
or successfully, the circumstances being
considered, than these, yet for the coming
winter, the dcsolations of war the abject
poverty in which the return of peace found
black and white alike, the extraordinary
blight upon the crops in some sections, and
the treatment of their former masters, who
refuse them employment, or wages, have
together proven too much for the best en-
beavers of many; besides, there are thou
sands upon thousands of the sick, the
aged, the. infrm, and orphans whose
fathers gave up their lives to preserve the
Union. The President of the United
States calls these the "nation poor and
the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau de-
clare that thirty thousand will perish in
Georgia alone, and forty thousand more in
Alabama, unless relieved.
Money is needed for immediate relief,
for the purchase of blankets and personal
clothing, for the erection of temporary
shelters, for the opening and sustaining of
orphan asylums, and also to send and sus-
tain teachers. We heartily subscribe to
the noble sentiment of General Howard,
that "EducGtjon- underLies eUery hope Of
success for the freedmen" We earnestly
invite you to take up collections in your
respective churches on the coming Thanks
giving, or on the Sabbathnea as possible,
and forward to cur Treasurer.
