WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Oct. IL, le65.
j. NJ. Broadhead Second Controller of the
Treasury, has addressed to the Paymastcr-Generai
communication embracing avery important decision
Of the Attorney General disposing Of the matter OF
bounties to coored soldiers which Involves the dispo
stion Of an immense amount Of money. The following
is the communication:
"SR; This office the Goth nltimo submitted 10 the
Secretary Of the Treasury the views entertained here
upon certain questions relating TO the bounties TO

might be obtained thereon The Attorney General In
very able aud elaborate opinion concurs with this
Office substantially affirming that eOOred soldiers en-
tering the military service we're In all cases 10 bo

the service and that there was upon the statute books

worthy information II is believed that few II any col

his argument in the following conclusions;

Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1865-08-25

The New York Herald, under the head
ing, 1.-The Last Kick of the Ohio Vallan-
digham Faction, - has this to say of the
late convention of the State Rights De-
mocracy of Ohio:
The radical copperheads of Ohio held a
State Convention at Columbus on the 18th
inst, atwhich they nominated Hon. Alex
ander Long for Governor man who
narrowly escaped expulsion from the late
Congress as a traitor, and they set him
up on the old South Carolina platform of
State sovereignty and all the most ultra
revolutionary notions of the copperhead
faction. The Convention likewise still
adhered to Vallandigham's Chicago plat
form, that the wal has been a failure,
having settled nothing. Why Vallandig-
ham was not put up by this delectable
for Governor, unless it is because
he has had enough of it, we cannot tell;
but the people of Ohio, in the same way,
will make short work of Long.

DEMOCRATIC NoMINATIoNs.-A small
number of the Democratic leaders of this
county convened in Delaware last Satur-
day and put in nomination a ticket to be
supported at the coming election, com
posed as follows: Representative, Burton
Moore Treasurer, William M. Warren +;
Commissioner, GeorgeW Wells Infrm-
airy Directors, Albert Worline and Ly-
man Andrews. These are all very re-
spectacle gentlemen, and If elected, which
is far from probable, would doubtless
make faithful officers. Mr.. Moore was
elected Infirmary Director on the Union
ticket a fewyears ago, but having returned
to the played out party he then forsook,
he of course retires to private life so far
as official positions in this county are con-
cerned. Mr.. Worline took advantage of
a typographical error in the name of the
Union nominee and accepted an Office to
which, if the intent of a majority of the
voters had been regarded, he was not n
titled. He is again a candidate for the
same position and we hazard nothing in
predicting that he will be placed on the
retired list with al emphasis and precision
IN spelling names that will leave no room
quibbling or doubt.

The General alluded to the charges that
he had wavered from his earlier anti
slavery connections and opinions, but
claimed the right to brand with falsity any
charges OF apostacy. He was a graduate
or Oberlin College, and would be of no
other if he could.
He closed by saying that if we remain
united we conquer. He was often told in
the South that if Northern Democracy had
not left their party there would have been
no war. They would have held their own
The Black Republicans would still have
been IN the minority, and he reminded
the Union party that the same ~organiza-
tion that confronted them to-day had,
since the was began, carried against us
but five of the Congressional Districts
of Ohio.

ls an admirable campaign orator, and his
speech has given excellent satisfaction,

KENTUCKY ELEcTIoN.-At the recent
election in Kentucky the only State officer
to be elected was Treasurer, and the vote
cast was of course the only true test of
party strength in the State. The election
OF the Democratic candidate has been
conceded On all hands, and the majority
claimed for him has varied from two to
fifteen thousand. The full returns, how
ever, show that the State has gone against
the Democracy, or Conservatives, as they
prefer to call themselves in that locality
the Union candidate being elected by a
small majority. The remote mountain
counties, which are thoroughly loyal, gave
unexpectedly large majorities, and hence
the gratifying result. In the Legislature
the opponents of the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery will have a
small majority.
