The publication of The C1ereland Plain
Dealer was suspended several months ago,
and Northern Ohio has been without a
Democratic Daily. After the death of j.
w. GRAY, the paper was published by ). s.
STEPHENSON, Administrator OF his estate;
and Mr. STEPHENSON managed and con-
trolled it until its recent suspension, when
he resigned the Administratorship also. '
We are glad to know that Hon. WILLIAM
w. ARMsrRoNG, late Secretary of State, has
bought The Plain. Dealer Establishment
from Gen. SANFORD, the anew Administrator
and, on Tuesday evening, he issued his first
paper. Mr.. ARMSTRONG is well known tt
the people of Ohio. For long time the
editor and proprietor of The Ti6in Aduertfser
and then for two years the efficient and ac-
complished Secretary Of State, he has moi

The Objection 10 the sherman
-Uohnstou Terms of Peace.

The Cincinnati Commercial disapproves the
SBERMAN-JoHNsToN Peace Treaty; but OPP
poses the removal and degradation OF
SHERMAN, which The Cincinnati Gazette and
others appear to be exceedingly anxious
should be done. The Commercial in the
following extracts, states what effect the
ratification of this treaty would have, as
we'll as the prime objection to it;
SIT should not be forgotten that If the
principals of Gen. Sherman and johnston,
Department Commanders-that is the au-
thorities of the United States and the Con,
federate States-had ratified the treaty
made at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, all
the rebel armies acould haze been dts6dnded
and o,rs mould not. Kirby Smith, as well
as Toe Johnston, and the guerrilla squads In
tbe. COTTON States and west of the Missis-
sippi acknowledging Confederate authors
ty. would have been sent home. Thus the
first essential condition of peace proclaimed
since the commencement of the war, would
have been fulfilled, viz: The rebels 'oouId
hare ttro,on do,on their arms and dispersed.
"As to the places of deposit of the arms,
the fact should not be overlooked tnat tne
State Capitals of North Carolina, virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas
and Louisiana are In our possession, ana that
arms deposited therein would have been
in our hands. More than this, there is no
State Capital that we could not reach and
occupy in fortnight; and after such an
experience as the Southern people have had,
their armies once disbanded, could not be
called together.
Wherefore, in military point OF view,
Sberman's treaty would have closed the
war, entirely in our favor. This he clearly
saw, and, owing to the exclusively military
character of his mind. he did not see that
which remained behind, and which the
great majority are agreed is so objection
able.
e. "The time was, when Shermans
treaty would have been hailed with accla-
nations, and as unanimously approved as 1t
is now condemned. The general feeling Is,
that ece should fail to do our dutyu zoe ,oere 70
stop short, now that the means are In our
hands, and the opportunity offers, Of me
abolition of slavery. That alone VIII secure
the future 1t is u good time to get rld OF
that nuisance, pest, and curse forever, ana
we must improve it. If we should not, the
result might be, probably would be, hall
century Of discord and civil war, in which
n ia possible the scenes of bloodshed and
desolation might not be confined so exclus-
iyelv TO one section, as during the present
war. THESE ARE THE THINGS OVERLOOKED
IN THE SHERMAN TREATY but we canuot,
as n neople. with the common instincts OF
self-preseryation afford to forget or ignore
them"
Had the treaty provided for the abolition
of slavery, there evidently would be COM
paratively little objection to it.

No AuoIogy Vet.

The Ohio State Jouyna, has not yet deigned
TO make an apology for the publication Oh
the letter Of N. A. GRAY, In which the spirit
of the Major of the Goth Ohio wes appro-
bated, who, In commenting on'the Niagia
Falls Peace movements that then attracted
attention, declared that he had entered that
..campaign with over 800 men" and that he
could only then muster l02 men, who' ne
alleged were ''ready to march, solitary and
alone, to the White House," and there play
the part of sassassins," "lf the President
hints even at compromise" Mr.. GRAY ex-
pressed the wish that their "friends at home
had this spirit"
Although The Journal has been urged
several times to repudiate the spirit OF this
letter and to apologize for its publication,
It has refused to do SO but in its issue oi
Wednesday morning we find this language
In an editorial, devoted to "the Presidential
Obsequies:"
"Wbile the tragic manner of his taking
Off fills every mind with horror ana lndig'
nation, vet had it been left to Mr.. LsncoM'
most partial friends to select the time for hl;
laying down the sceptre OF authority aho
rendering his mortal audit, they coutd scare
haze selected an hour more suspicious for M
fame than that in ,chict he so Unexpectedly me
his fate"
This is peculiar utterance-perhaps tn
proper term by which to characterize it is
Infamous. 1t is the same thing as sayint
that President LINCOLN died at the righ
time for his fame. We don't believe anl
such thing. Had President LINCOLN liyed v,d
and by wise craftsmanship maintained tn
Union, restored Peace and pacified tn
country, as the people began to take cour
ace TO believe he would do, he would hav
gone down to the grave, in the fullness o
time, with a. fame as resplendent as tina
which was ever bestowed on man, ant
which must have gratifed his "most Partia
friends"
