IN THEsTATE TREASU-

On Tuesday last, Gov. Anderson
arrested G. Volney Dorsey, Treasur
er of State, and declared the office
vacant.
This action was taken on the
strength Of the report of the Special
Examiners; who charge that Mr. Dor
sey has improperly used the money
of the State in these particulars:
In having too large balances in the
hands of various bankers.
2. In receiving gold on deposit,
and allowing the depositor to draw
out equal amounts of currency.
3. Receiving 7-90s, and paying
out in their stead currency.
The State has suffered no loss
not a cent, but if the charges made
by the Examiners are true, Mr.. Dor
sey was removed not a moment too
soon. The law provides that the
State funds shall be kept in the
Treasury. and the Treasurer has no
authority for exchanging currency
for gold and 6-sOs, allowing specula-
tors to make double interest.
We hope Mr.. Dorsey can make q
clean showing-if not, bundle him
out. The people of Ohio may con-
gratulate themselves uhon the fact
that those to whom the affairs of the
State are committed will not suffer
even technical violation of the laws.

POLITICAL FOLLY.

The man who would build q house
at largo expenditure OF time and
money, and then deliberately tear it
down, would be, by his neighbors,
considered a fit candidate for the
Lunatic Asylum. This is precisely
what the Copperheads ask the people
of the North to do.
The South assailed the Govern
ment with the avowed, undlsguiscd
purpose of destroying it. They
raised numerous armies for this
purpose which were met by the le-
gions of the loyal North on the field
of battle. Four years of cruel war
ensucd, and finally, at an expense of
hundreds of thousands of lives and
hundreds of millions of treasure, the
rebellion was put down and the
Government preserved. The rebels
themselves claim that they were
overpowered by numbers, but that
they are not in any sense conquered.
They boldly avow their purpose OF
again lighting the torch of civil war,
as soon as they have recuperated
their strength, and again muster
their forces for another struggle.
At this time the Copperheads of
the North. ever the allies of the reb
els, step in and demand that the
Government shall put into the hands
of these murderous rebels the weap-
ons with which they purpose to de-
stroy it.
The rebels South make no secret
of their intentions. They claim still
the right of secession, and avow their
purpose of putting this right into
practice as soon as they are in con.
dition to do so. Their Northern al
lies resolve that this right belongs
10 them, and that they shall cone
back into the Union with all the rights
and privileges they went out with
The result of this line of action must
be another war. The aristocratic
class of the South have not yet Civ
en- up the dreams Of confederacy
based upon slave labor, and they are
as ready for war to bring it about, as
they were in 1860.
This question is to be met by the
people of Ohio this fall.

Do WE DESIRE PEACE, OR WAR;


Do we want again to hear the drum
beating. for men to defend the Gov
ernment? Do we want to add to the
load Of taxes we aro bearing Do
we want more widows and orphans

more manned and disabled men p
SO sure as God lives, let the Copper
heads triumph at the polls two years
in succession, and the third will see
the nation involved in another war.
There is no escape from it save bv
surrendering the Government and
living the willing slaves sf an aris-
tocracy. Never wa' an election held
on the result Jt which so much de-
pended. Let the people take heed
