Chief of the Bureau at Washington, is

in the labor system of the State wrought
out by the war. The idea that negroes can

The PaBEcatIOa OF General COx's



The Cleveland Herald has seen fit in s
recent article to inveigh bitterly against
Principal Fairchild and Mayer Plumb, Of
OberliD, for writing Questioning letter"
TO General Cox, compelling him to declare
his views on she subject of Negro Suffrage.
We venture quietly TO suggest to our ven-
ersbleand irAscible cotemporary that every
word of that condemnation falls upon Gen.
ersl Oox's shoulders. The responsibility of
publishing the correspondence on this
subject rests with that gentleman, and
not with Messrs. Fairchild and Plumb.
Their note was written with no design Of
forcing Gen. Cox TO q public declaration of
hif sentiments. Their questions were asked
only fer their own personal satisfaction,
and they expressly declared in their letter
that it was not their wish 70 publish his
views unless he desired it. To be sure,
Gen. Cox says in reply: "You must act
upon your own responsibility in determin-
ing what publicity you shall give TO this, "
but, nevertheless, the letter was furnished
to the Cincinnati and Columbus papers be-
fore il was received by Messrs Fairchild
and Plumb. 1t is only just to these gen.
tlenento say that the only person respon-
sible for publishing the Cox letter is Gen.
Cox. " TlFl1- ~

General Cox would have shown more wis
dom and greater respect for the large ms
