R Gov. BIough has succeeded
in obtaining transfer of the U. S.
Tripler Hospital at Columbus, to the
State of Ohio as home for disabled
soldiers. This will probably set at
rest the yexed question of the pur-
chase of property for that pur-
pose as contemplated by the act of
the last Legislature.
It would be well if the q. S. Gen.
Hospital at Gallipolis could be Sc
cured for the same purpose. 1t is
now vacant and will shortly be sold
under direction of the A. Q. NJ. at
this post, for a mere fraction of its
cost. The buildings are new, many
of them never having been used at
all, and work On them stopped but a
few days past, while the beautiful
location on the bank of the Ohio
river, taken in connection with our
mlld climate and facilities for OBJ
tanning supplies, ought to save it
from destruction. But then it is in
the Southern part of the State and
Of course it could not be expected
that the intelligence of "cheesedom"
would favor any measure of public
interest that did not result in actual
profit to their section Of the State.
During the past four years it was
all right to have the border as far
South of Columbus as practicable.
Raiders like John Morgsn could
scourge this section of the State by
plundering our citizens of their
property. and forcing or farmers to
leave their farms in harvest to stop
his progress, during all which time
our Northern Ohio brethren were
calm as Summers morning. Now
that peace has again assumed her
sway, all Legislation must Of course
enure to the benefit of the central or
Northern portion OF the State, whilst
the Southern part can remain as they
declare she is, fifty years behind in
point of intelligence. wealth and
power.

~ A Copperhead caucus was held
At Columbus on Thursday night last
at which, one Mr. IL. Cory Of Gin

slavery in the United States, declar-
ing that this must be the platform Of
the Democratic party in the coming
campaign.

DEMOCRATIC JOURNALISM
NORTH AND SOUTH.

It looks little like assurance for
John Mitchell, who wrote war arti-
cles TO fire the Southern heart all
through the rebellion, to come North
now and take the helm of a Demo
cratic journal, as if he were innoce ent
of offense But really, we can see
very little difference in the perfor
mances of the Democratic editors on
the different sides of the military
line. and we can easily believe that
John Mitchell, knowing there was
none in spirit, honestly thought there
was none in fact. and that bis trans
fer from one Democratic journal to
another was nothing that concerned
the Government.
The News was an outspoken advo-
cate of the rebel cause all through
the war, at the time when such jour
nails could do our cause any injury.
John Mitchell in the Richmond En-
quirer was more violent, but the afro
cities which he melted and approved
the News defended as forced upon
the South by our aggressive war
The News, before John Mitchell came
to it, was doing in the North the
same work as John Mitchell in the
Richmond Enquirer-using all its
ability to defeat the Government in
the war and to secure the triumph of
the Confederacy. So were all the
Democratic journals in the North.
The Cincinnati Enquii er labored as
consistently TO infame the Demo
cratic party of the North to hostility
against the Government in the war
with rebellion, as the Richmond En-
quirer did to fire the Southern heart
in the same cause.
If there was any difference, the
Northern Democratic journals were
most mischievous and had least ex-
cuse, for, firstly, they melted party
hostility to the Government in the
North, in a war in which it depended
wholly on the support of the people,
while IN the South the people were
subjected to a despotism from the
start, which paid no heed to their
sentiments; and, secondly, the South
ern journals had a show Of excuse.
that, although they went against the
Government. they went with their
own local communities, and were
nnder duress in various ways; while
the Northern Democratic journals
were treacherous to both the Gov
ernment and their section.
1t seems, at first thought, great as
surance for John Mitchell to come
North to write for Democratic
journal; but when we reflect we find
that VIC are accustomed to an advo-
cacy of the rebel cause here quite as
plain and malignant as he made in
the Richmond Enquirer. When the
News engaged Mitchell it honestly
there had been no differ
ence in their principles, and that he
might continue in its columns the
work it had been dong without max
in any cause for Government notice.
And we are obliged to say that his
articles in the News were no more
hostile in spirit than those of some
of the reconstructed rebel organs at
and other Southern places,
where they can do more mischief
than in the North.-CiR. Gaz.
