An Inauirx Answered.

In THE DAILY STATESMAN of the 11th Of
July, we printed a communication over the
signature of X, headed "The Washington
Executions" which has been commended
wherever it has been read; and we have
been asked many times, by letter and other
wise, who the writer of it is. While there
is no reason, that we know of for withhold
ing the gentleman's name, we are yet not
authorized to publish it. We may, howev-
er, state, that he is an able and distinguish
ed public man of Ohio, who is conservative
and judicious, and whose views and utter
ances are apt to be about right; as a lawyer,
he stands in the forefront of his profession;
and he has high attainments as literary
man and scholar. The columns of The
STATESMAN had been enriched several times
before with contributions from his pen; and
we have his promise that hereafter they
shall appear more frequently. This infor-
nation will be received by our readers with
as much satisfaction as we have in impart-
ing it. ..g....r ..

The Degradation of The Uniform

There certainly can be no soldier of the
national armies worthy the name of a sol
dier who will not blush to read such a story
as this which we find in leading journal
of the West:
TEARING Down A UNION FLAG.-Miss
Emma spirited and rebellious young lady,
the daughter of Mr.. Lattemer, the propIi-
etOr of a clearinghouse in Edgefield,
Tenn, on the 4th of July, became highly
incensed at a Union flag displayed on her
fathers premises, and ruthlessly tore it
down, and would have trampled it under
foot had not Lieutenant Adams, who wit
messed the outrageous proceeding, inter-
fered. The Lieutenant took the flag from
the excited young lady's hands and return
ed 1t to its original position. The upshot
of the matter was that Miss Lattemer
was arrested for her unladylike
and inexcusable conduct by the mill
tary authorities. She was sent to the mill
tary prison, and will be tried by military
commission. Miss Lattemer is about twen-
ty-five years of age, is in robust health, and
Is said to bear some traces OF beauty"
That the national uniform which has been
worn by so many thousands of brave men
in the face of the yolleying thunder of rebel
batteries, and in the shock of deadly en-
counter with cleaning lines of rebel steel,
should thus be degraded into the livery of
spies and catch-poles, charged with the ex-
alted function of dragging thoughtless and
silly girls before military commissions"
is the blacklist and most branding insult
that could be put upon every man who
wears it. r...
If American officers are thus to be re-
duced to the level of Austrian corporals,
the sooner the fact is known to, and under
stood by, American women, the better it
will be for the public peace and the nation
al character.

The .Jacobins at Work.
from The New York Herald, July Ill

lrTOm Il ne new IOrk Herald, IL
The radical political faction, under the
lead of Chief Justice Chase and the New
England Jacobins, have been for the last
two months foundering about on the ques-
tion OF restoration of the South, more es-
pecially in regard to negro suffrage. Judge
Chase opened the ball in letter OF instruc-
tion to his Western followers, and then
started tor the rice fields of the South to
address and consult with his colored friends.
The Jacobins of Boston, taking their cue
from Chase, commenced their attacks upon
the President, spiced with threats of another
revolution and war, and followed by laudag
tions of the negroes of the South. Like
the JacObins of France they paraded them
selves before the country in high-sounding
phrases and glittering generalities in ref
erence to humanity. In this movement It
took both Senator Sumner and Wendell
Phillips to make one Robespierre, while
Senator Wilson became the DantOn of the
faction. ALI manner of schemes were de-
yised by this Jacobin clique in and around
Fancuil Hall--including another civil war
Ito frighten the President into the imme-
diate adoption of their plan of negro suf-
frage as military necessity. The radical
politicians here and elsewhere were at the
same time plotting and scheming for the
same object. In this State the loyal leag-
uers took up the same cause Of negro sui
frage In their secret councils. The Tribune
(their organ in this city, took all sides,
both for and against negro suffrage; con-
sented to our policy OF comforting the priv
ilege of the elective franchise upon the ne
groes, with the restriction of sufficient edu-
cation to enable them to read and write;
then again coming out for universal sut-
frage. After adopting all sides and angles
Of the question, praisihg and denouncing
the President, Greeley finally came out in
yesterdays Tribune fat-footed in favor OF
the doctrine Of universal amnesty and uni
versal suffrage as the basis Of adjustment
Of the whole question. ls3 =.

Out N Republican Can
General COx's Position.

JOHN MERCER LANGsToN, the 'colored'
!. lawyer of 0berlin, has written letter tc
SrDNw S. WARMER the Abolition candi-
date fcrN Treasurer of State, demanding that
he Immediately define his position upon the
subject of negro suffrage, etc. LANGsToN
speaks ION behalf Of very many earnest
and patriotic men, who, anxious to support
all the candidates put in nomination by
the late Republican Convention held in the
city of Columbus, have made up their
minds that they ,oiH uote for no man 'oho is not
in. .fdyor of the repeal Of the Black Ld.cs Of he
Stale, and in fdoor Of givtng 10 The negro, North
and South, the pririlege Of voting and that, too,
without unreasonable delay, and upon the
same conditions on which white men vote"
WARNER has, perhaps, been over-cautious,
since his nomination, about expressing his
views as to some of the ticklish questions
-doubtless fearing Southern Ohio and the
Soldiers! Hence, the anxiety as to his posi-
tion on the part of ''the earnest men," nur
- LANGsToN's letter is also significant, in
thatit, by implication, authoritatiyely re-
CARDS General Cox, the Oberlin candidate
for Governor, as being in harmony with
the Blacks andwi those who would place
them upon political and social equality with
the White Man. The Generals Oberlin ed
ucation and training are regarded by The
Ne,o York Tribune as being sufficient to
justify its announcement that he is in favor
of negro suffrage; but LANGsToN's convic-
ton on that subject is fortified by positive
assurances from CoX's Oberlin relatives and
friends. 1t was after such assurances, that
he labored for his (Cox's) nomination, by
going into public meeting at that place
wherein a~white man was driven from
the chairmanship, and black man placed
in the posltion-and demanding instruc-
tions to insure a delegation to the Republic
can State Convention from Lorain county,
who should be in favor of nominating him
(Cox) with or without platform.

Notes of all the denominations named will be
promptly furnished upon receipt of subscriptions.
The Notes of this Third Series are precisely SINH
lar in foim and privileges to the SevenThrtes al,
ready sold except that the Government reserves ia
itself the option of paying interest in gold coin at
9 per cent, instead of s-lOths in currency. Sub
scrbers will deduct the interest in currency up to
July 18th, at the time when they subscribe.
The delivery of the notes of this third series of
the Seven-thiries will commence on the stof June,
and will be made promptly and continuously after
that date. ..
The slight change made in the conditions Of this
THIRD SERIES affects only the matter of interest.
The payment in gold, if made, will be equivalent to
the currency interest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in the event Of
which only will the option to pay interest in Gold be
availed Of, would reduce and equalze prices that
purchases made with six per cent. in gold would be
fully equal to those made with seven and three.
tenths per cent. in currency. This is

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Roback,s Bitters Appreciated.

FRANKFORT, KY, = ept 8, 1864.
. G. W. RoBAoK, Esq.-Dear Sir: Ilease send me
three dozen of Stomach Bitters at once, as have
none0n hand. Although not advertised shere they
are beginning to be appi ecated, and wherever used
they work like a charm. A gentcmh came into my
store some six weeks ago, completely exhausted. be-
ing short of breath. from protracted debility
gave him dose of your Bitters, which made him
perspirc freely and in five m nutes ho began to talk
lively, and said he had been under different doctors
for five years, but continued to sink in health.
He has now taken three bottles and says they have
done himmore good than the combined efforts of all
doctors. He believes he will recover by a continued
use of your medicine, that came so accidentally
within his reach Yours respectfully.

The Difference!

When il was announced that General Cox
and Staff would visit the Opera House, the
people. responded by staying away; and the
audience was much smaller. that evening
than it had been for weeks and months be-
fore. But when the announcement was
made that General SHERMAN and Staff
would be there, the House was crowded
jammed full-from bottom to top--and the
audience was one of the finest and most ap-
preciative of the entire season. This is an
unerring indication of the comparative
popularity of the two Generals. SHERMAN
draws, but Cox don't.
