are informed that certain runners for

presented through these agencies
are greatly delayed, and that we pay
no attention to them after the papers
are filed. These assertions are
grossly untrue, and made tor the pur-

pr Gamble and resolutions, the sum
of which is contained in the follow
ing:
Resolued, That we propose Briga-
dier General R. B. Hayes of H H2mil
ton county as the Union candidate
for the next Governor of Ohio.
We advert to this movement on
part OF the army, merely to say that
Brig. Gen. Hayes services will prob
ably be much more valuable to the
country he has done SO much for. as
q soldier, by occupying his seat in
the next Congress, than filing the
Gubernatipnal chair of Ohio. Oues.
tions of immense Importance will
crowd upon that body. Ohio has a
vital interest in the proper adjust
ment ofthem No man in the State,
understands them in a military point
OF view, better than Gen. Hayes
Why then deprive the nation as well
as the State, of his valuable aid. The
matter should be looked at in this
light, and all unnecessary complica-
tions of the Gubernational question,
avoided so as to secure perfect har-
meny, between the members of the
Union party both in and out of the
army.

Ans. The Government collects, by taxes,
internal revenue, and duties on imports, fully
three hundred millions each year. This is
nearly three tunes IS much as ia needed to pay
the interest on all the debt, and as soon as
the war is ended, the amount not needed TO
pay the interest will be used in paying off

or all the rebels who have figured In the
great insurrection against our Government.
Gen. Lee has been treated the most tenderly,
or in other words, been most respected by the
people of the North. Some how there has
been charm In his name that has found an
answer to even loyal hearts, and peculiar traits
in his character have challenged respect and
admiration. In the earlier periods Of the war
his brilliant achievements gave him much
fame, and spread halo about him that dazzled
the public mind, II it did not blind the public
judgment. But we think, since Grant has
come in contact with him, that his character
has been gradually falling in public estimation,
and his fame as a military genius has lost
some OF its brilliancy. To-day he does not
occupy SO high an elevation as he once did,
and his recent surrender has cast quite an
eclipse over his supposed greatness.
While he had such men as Mcclellan as OPP
ponents, his military genius shone brightly,
and many pronounced him the greatest cap
tain Of the age, but subsequent events have
thrown cloud over him, and people begin to
suspect that they have been deceived 10 rela-
ton to his true character. When contrasted
with Grant, he must necessarily suffer in name
and reputation, for it has been abundantly
shown that in comprehensive powers and
breadth of intellect, he is decidedly inferior to
Gen. Grant. In spite of his military genius
and well diciplined army full of pluck and
flrmness, Grant has fought him "on that line,"
s.,k< sl.a HI
Iy compelled him to surrender. 1t was hard
case for Lee, and our readers will not be de-
ceiyed with the idea that he yielded to Grant
for the purpose of saving more shedding of
blood; for such was not the prime motive of
his surrender. He gave up because he had
been fairly outgeneraled by the indomitable,
yet modest, unassuming Grant. History will
set this matter right. M
II Lee could have reasonably INDUCED any
hope Of success in fighting Grant any longer,
his dread Of shedding more blood never
would have induced him to surrender himself
and army as prisoners of war. We may safe
~ come to such a conclusion. There may be
some traits in Lees character to admire, or
might have been before he yielded to the pres
sure OF public opinion, took the lead Of the reb.
ell forces and fought against that Government
wnicn mad made him all he was. Had he pur-
sued the course Andrew johnson did, beard
ed the lion rebellion in its own den, he would
have stood high before the world and challeng

rope, but he chose different part in the trae-
ic drama, and has reaped his reward.
We have yet to learn that he has shown any
repentance for his past deeds, or given any
satisfactory proof of his unwilingness to
crimson oatteaelds with blood. True, he has
surrendered, but ION compulsion,' for which
we give him no credit. That he exercised

Old Flag of the Union under his feet. The
world is still deceived by ornament, but we
trust and believe that this man will never
more be allowed any voice in the councils OF
the nation. Every leader in this rebellion,
every man who has taken voluntary and
prominent part in 1t, should be DISTINGUISHED,
or driven from the country into exile. Their
deeds demand punishment, and sure we are
they will get it. We are not bloodthirsty, but
rebels must and will be punished. They have
suffered already most intensely, aud find that
the way of the transgressor is hard. We have
confidence in President johnson and his ad-
ministration. Justice will be done to them,
and the people must patiently await the order
Of events. Revenge is sweet, but let us be
careful not to suffer our better judgements to
be led away by feelings of revenge. We need
not have Shylock's fears that we shall "be
