The sueeesaOrship to the Suicide. =
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes as follows in re-
gard to the d~efalcation Of a. P. Stone:
The feeling of horror with which Ohio
ans first heard of the tragedy that ended
the career of the man who was thought of
such spotless integrity and financial worth
as to be called to the almost bankrupt
State Treasury, to restore confidence, after
the Breslin defslcstion, has already passed
away in a contest "for the dead mans
shoes" b. +. Martin, Esq, q prominent
lawyer Of Columbus and Geo. B. Wright,
State Quartermsster General under Gov.
Dennison, are the principal candidates.
Mr.. Martin was the principal opposing
candidate at the time Mr.. Stone was ap-
pointed, and according to usage il, there
fore, regarded as having 3 quasi lien upon
the reversion. He has been recommended
by the Congressman of the district, Mr..
S~hellabarger. General Wright, whose
military administration is thought like
wise to constitute 8 claim, is urged by
Senator Sherman.
When, recently, there was a postmaster
to appoint in Columbus, and four good
men wanted the place, 8 piece of political
prestidigitation established three out of the
four in comfortable offices, and offered the
fourth q bureau in Washington 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the new Oolum-
bus question can be settled with such
sbounding skill.
Mr.. Stones suicide was none too soon.
His removal for some time had been con-
templsted by the Government, and st the
last moment q special agent was dispatch
ed to Columbus to make q report of his
case. Before that agents report had time
to reach Washington, its work was accom-
pisshed in another way, and the office was
vacated.
We learn by telegram that Mr.. Martin
has been appointed.

COUNTY.

We learn that during a recent thunder
storm the barn of Mr.. John Crowl, in West
township, about two miles from New
Franklin, Stark county, wss struck by
lightning, set on fire and burned to the
ground. George Crowl, young man about
% years of age, was killed, and q Mr..
Brooks, q cattle-desler from New Jersey,
who was in the barn, was dangerously
hurt. John Smith and William Flory,
citizens of New Franklin, were knocked
down, but escaped without serious injury.

with the present tendency of matters
in this State, 1 do not think coIored schools
can be opened very generally, except in
such places as this, Montgomery, etc. By
Governor Parsons proclamation, civil law,
as it existed before the ordinances. of Sc.
cession was passed, is nowin force through
out the State.
Tin accordance Herewith, the Mayor OF
this city decides that the testimony of 8
colored man against S white man cannot
be admitted in a court of justice; neither
can a colored man sue or collect q debt Of
a white man.
1.-THE fraAdman is n only in name,
while his actual condition rs worse tbon
when a slave. This is the result the rebels
wish to bring about.
ga meeting was held here last night, be-
fore which statements were made IS to the
treatment OF eolored people by white per-
SONS, in the interior of the State, which
would make you sick of life. One hundred
and thirty-three dead bodies were counted
in the woods; five bodies we're seen float
ing in the river; two white men were seen
TO pull q negro dewn across q log and cut
his head off with an axe.
HWomen and children were killed, and
then boxed up and thrown into the river;
a woman was killed by a white man, and
burial refused by him to her relatives.
"For q black man to be seen with
'green-backs' in his possession is death.
COlored people are hiding in the woods,
living on berries, fruits etc, to escape the
fury of their former masters.
"These statements were made by intelli-
gent candid colored men before an audi
ence of several hundred last night. In
Mobile through the connivsnce OF some
body, churches and negro houses are burnt
women set to work cleaning the streets,
men and women arrested in bed and taken
to the guard house, fined or sent to the
work-house, etc, etc. &
"Lsst night there was 8 heavy fire, in
which three or four squares, mostly of ne
gro quarters were burned. Men were heard
to say that before they were done they
would burn every negro quarter and school
house in Mobile. These things might be
remedied."
