The Republican state Treasur-
er I'm Trouble.

We call attention to the following article
from the Ohio State Journal of yesterday. 1t
is painfully evident that Bliss, Breslin, Gibson,
Stone, and Dorsey, Treasurers of State, during
the past fifteen years, have successfully
followed in the beaten path of public plum
der.
The report of Hon. P, odlin and Hon. W
II. Smith, it appears, was made early in
June last, but for some reason, has been sup
pressed until the present time.
We learn from gentleman of Columbus
that the publication of his report has created
quite sensation in that city, and that the ap-
pointment Of successor to G, VClney Dorsey
is being actively canvassed.
The duty of Governor Anderson is plain
and unmistakable, as our "loyaP cotempo
rary of the State Journal suggests, and that
is the vacation of the office and criminal
prosecution"
We respectfully suggest, however, that DR.
G. Volney Dorsey should continue to make
speeches from the steps of the Capitol, well
coming home thssoldiers whom he has cheat
ed, and continue to announce to them that he
has been fighting the rebels in the rear, while
they have been fighting them in front
We patiently await the action of the GRAND
Jury OF Franklin County.

publican organ, to which we refer 1t say

S@-The New York Republicans are wiser
than their brethren in Ohio. While the lat
ter favored the continuation of the exemp-
ton of the bond aristocracy from taxation
the New York Republicans see the fatal con-
sequences to them of such step. The New
York Commercial Advertiser, for instance,
says:
"Now, all the fatal consequences of bring.
ing QUE national finances into the arena of
party politics can be prevented il the Rspub.
lican party will deprive their political oppC-
neuts Of the dangerous weapons they have
placed in their hands, by repeating the clause
exempting United States bonds from State
and local taxation, and by the adoption Of a
proper system Of taxation in the place Of the
present expensive complicated. unjust, and
oppressive system, Are the Republicans suf
fciently intelligent to perceive the danger
and to prevent it by pr9r or measuresT 2

General Morgan.

Gen. Morgan, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Ohio, is the person who made
the memorable retreat from Cumberland GAP
in the early part of the war--a retreat with
ten thousand men which will rank in history
with the retreat OF "Xenophon and his Ina
mortal Ten Thousand" To retreat we'll re-
quires not less soldierly skill than to advance
well, or fight we'll but General Morgan com.
binsd all these qualities. He advanced to the
heart Of the enemy's country and seized Cum.
berland Gap, which was one of their most
important posts, trusting that Gen, Buell.
would take care of his rear. But when in the
Gap he found himself surrounded by four
times his number of rebels, and no prospect
of obtaining supplies except by seizing them
from the enemy. In that way he obtained
food and forage; he attacked the rebels, beat
them here and there, and took what he needed.
But it was impossible to hold the position
against such odds; and TO retreat or surren-
der was all that was left him. To surrender
was not thought of by one who commenced
military life at fifteen and had been trained
first by Sam Houston in Texas to the half In
dian modes of fighting, and afterward by
Gen. Scott in Mexico, in the highest science
Of war; and 80 the retreat was CONNER eed
Every man and every gun was withdrawn.
Then came the tug of war-this handful Of
men retreating and fighting, surrounded and
followed by As, 900 men for sixteen days and
nights, over $50 miles of mountainous region
through deiles and gorges, everywhere ex-
posed to ambuscades and assaults in noun
tain passes, subssting upon corn alone, auC
still repulsing and beating the lurking rebell
in every attack. We have many bright pagel
in the history of the late war-psges to which
our children will turn with pride and thu
world will read with wonder; but we doub
whether there was a more brilliant achieve
ment from the fall of Sumter to the fall o
Richmond, than the retreat of Morgan ant

periods OF her life, committed six murders,
and ell by poison At first it was imagined
that she was delirious, but subsequent inquiry
has afforded ample corroboration of the poor
wretch statement. She said that abe had a
mania for destroying human life, and it was
only by the greatest selfrestraint that she
could keep herself from secretly poisoning all
persons with whom she was on terms offrisnd-
ship. She had, however, poisoned four
children and two adults; and, what makes
the matter still more revolving, is the fact that
two of the former were her own children, and
one of the latter ber fret husbands The
children were murdered in England, and ths
