Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-11-17
Genarnl,R. IN. Cowen.

In repeating the announcement on
Wednesday morning, that "Paymaster b.
r. CowEN had been breveted Brigadier-
General" by the War Department at
Washington, we stated the, fact, that
he is Adjutant-General Of Ohio and
that the people naturally supposed he had
resigned the position of Paymaster on as
suming the duties of the State Office
Learning from the announcement OF his
promotion that he had not resigned the
Paymastership, we inferred that The had
drawn pay both from the Government and
the State, as others did during the tate 'oar-
notwithstanding the Jawnars assertion
that the thing could not be DONE" Ii the
new editor of that paper is not aware
that his party, since It has been In power,
has habitually aud persistently disregarded
and violated Constitutional provisions and
statutory enactments, .some Of his friends,
or some pupils of the Public Schools of the
age of ten years." ought to volunteer to
tell himh = q, -; -TROTfn -rvoyT yyzo
We take great pleasure in stating, that
our inference as to double-pay did General
CowEN injustice, and that he has not been
paid by the Federal Government since he
has been Adiutant General of Ohio, as ap-
pears from the War Departments Orders
granting him 'leave of Absence" which he
has placed before us. He holds fast to his
commission as iPaymaster, and getssleave
of ABSENCE" without pay or emoluments,"" /"
in 'otder- to take a State office. In other
words, he holds two important and respon-
sfble offices at the same time-one under the
Federal Government, and the other under
the State Government; but does not draw
dbuble pay.

EDITORS ONO STATESMAN:
| see, Ia this mornings Journal, an out
pouring OF wit (2) on your head, ana on
that Of another paper, In reply 70 some,
charge of indelicacy in the latter, against IL.
! Now, Messrs. Editors, in the same paper
there is small article headed, Lovely"
and describing turogtoi 2 pair 81 ponies u !
j by chap in New York, who had their tahs 5
done up a la ,oatertaH. The man who could
be guilty of that is dirty blackguard, and
no decent woman should speak to him,
however louely his turnout may be. a :,
| The same paper has AN article headed,
"Protestant tism in Italy, /" narrating thePro-
ceedings of a meeting in Brooklyn, under
the auspices of that famous (or infamousl
Henry Ward Beecher; and 1t Is stated
there, in the face of the Catholic readers
who stiIl read'the Journal, THAT the leaders
of the Catholic Church In Italy we're at
tempting to bolster up its waning power,
&c. Now, Messrs. Editors, Twill just state
two historical facts, which l dare, the
Journal or its Beecher coadjutors to deny,
and appeal to the Isrdelites for its truth:
| The first is, that the Hebrews In Rome,
several years ago. presented to the Pope a
splendid, copy Of the Pentateuch, or fiVe
books of Moses, done up in gold and jew.
eled style, to signify their appreciation OF
bis liberal government.
4 The second fact is this: In 1917, the Prot
estant Cantons of Switzerland rose against
those which were Catholic, and expelled,
not only all the religious orders OF the
| Catholics, but all the Hebrews. p size -,
