"A Friend Of Soldiers" asks us to "aay few
words in behalf Of those members of the Twen-
tieth Corps who recently broke out into riof az
Washington because they were not paid we
cannot do it. Without the least desire to nat
ter tho present rule of the War Department,
we must say that the labor Of preparing ard
pcrfecting all the returns for paying OIL ana
mastering out SO vast an army as ours Is gigah-
tic. aud not to he compressed into few days
Returns often have to be sent back for correc'
tion--there must be duplicates and lots OF sigma
tures-and tie camor against cred tape
amounts in essence TO this" Let every one
run hi, ann into the Treasury and take out
whatever he chooses to deem his share We
cannot JON nit.
The Government is paying out money Mil
lions per week to so.diers-is paying as fast ~
it safely can. II has the money, and is disburs'
ing it faithfully. But every one cannot be paid
first nor Mt once; there must be some later, and
one last OF all. Naturally, chose who are hon.
orably discharged are paid before those who are
retained. But no one can even invent a reason
for wiilful delay, and there is TO such delay.
The paymasters are hard at work. they have
ample funds; and al tire trouble grows out OF
forgetfulness Of Dogberry's axiom that "When
two ride q horse, one must ride behind" All
this is so obvious that We are forced to conclude
that "the boys" however short Of hard-earned
money, were not entirely destitute of liquor.

RRAR.ADMIRAL DU PONr.

Samuel Francis Du Pont, Rear-Admral Of the
United States Navy, died yesterday morning in
Philadelphia. His death would seem to have been
sndden--certainly was uuhcralded and unexpected,
and no particulars of il have yet bcen received.
lie was born at Bergen, n. j., September ~
1909, descended Gom French ancestors. Attwclve

his hrst voyage under Commodore Stewart From
tho beginning lie was devoted to his profession aud
spared no pains to master il. lie became ot an
early period widely known for his shil,
hlr abilties, aud bis high personal
ehamcter. But in the long years OF peace which
followed the War of 1879, there was little oppor-
tunity FOX naval distinction till the Mexican war
broke out and found Du Pont Commander in
tho frigate Congress- in tho Pacific In
February. lSiS he landed at San jose
with one hundred marines and sailors.
and, defeating and dispensing Mexican force

Tho letter Of Mr.. Robert Dale Owen TO tho
President, which we publish this morning, is
worthy Of careful and thoughtful reading.
The standpoint from which he considers the
suffrage question Is one which has hardly
been alluded to, and certainly has not
hsretofore received the consideration which
its importance demands. As a question
OF figures his position is incontrovert-
ible, and the conclusions he draws from
them cannot fail to impress the people as Of

An Epidemic Of Crime.

We can scarcely pick up leading jour-
nal that has not an editorial discussing
what is looked upon as San Epidemic of
Crime" Crime is now holding high carni-
val throughout the country. Might not the
condition of affairs, in this respect, be more
gratifying, had not so many of our profess
ed ministers of the gospel turned politi-
clans, and testified untruly against the
Democratic party, as some of them did, in
stead OF teaching the sublime doctrines of
the Savior? They were told by the Demo-
cratic press that they were setting an ex-
ample and inculcating doctrines that, in all
likelihood, would work serious injury to
Christianity and morality. Reformation
political, social and moral-is needed. Who
ever is not sensible oft, ismentally as blind
as bat. How can the reformation be secur-
ed? BY ministers taking to the study and
confining themselves to an exposition of the
will of the Almighty as set forth in His re-
vealed will instead OF drawing their inspira-
tion from Abolition journals, and by the
people returning the Democratic party to
power.

The Publication Of General Cox's
H Letter.

The Cleveland Herald has seen fit in a re-
cent article to inveigh bitterly against
Principal Fairchild and Mayor Plumb, of
0berlin, for writing a questioning letter"
to General Cox, compelling him to declare
his views on the subject of Negro Suffrage.
We venture quietly to suggest to our ven
cradle and irascible cotemporary that every
word of that condemnation falls upon Cen
eral Cox's shoulders. The responsibility of
publishing the correspondence on this
subject rests with that gentleman, and
not with Messrs. Fairchild and Plumb.
Theif note was written with no design of
forcing General Cox to a public declaration
ofhis sentiments. Their questions were ask
ed only for their own personal satisfaction,
and they expressly declared in their letter
that it was not their wish to 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-
tore it was received by Messrs. Fairchild
and Plumb. 1t Is only just to these gen.
ttlemen to say that the only person respon-
sible for publishing the Cox letter is Gen.
Cox. i g'IF es a'33s8 sos ~.
1t is hardly necessary for us to add that
Gen. Cox would have shown more wisdom
and greater respect for the large majority
# the Union party of Ohio who favor Ne
no Suffrage II he had never published the
document referred to.-Cereland Leader. Z

What the Want of Franl<ness Has
Cost General Cox.

Had the Convention that nominated Cen
eral Cox been animated by purpose to
deal frankly with the people, and had they
given to that purpose unmistakable form in
their platform, General Cox would not
have been driven to the necessity of writ
ing letter having for its object the concil-
iation OF the discordant elements In his
party, and through which he has made him
self an object of general ridicule and COLI
demnation. Such position is an unenvia-
BILE one for a candidate tor the Governor
ship of so great State as Ohio to occupy
but General Cox occupies it because of
purpose on the part of the Convention that
nominated him to deal unfairly with the
people, and because he also ignored frank
ness and directness.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1865-08-11
Gen. Cox's New Dodge.

Gen. Cox, the Abolition candidate for
Governor, refused to answer the plain,
straightforward questions the soldiers put
to him in regard to Negro Suffrage; but has
tens, upon return mail" to answer at
large an Oberlin committee, Prof. Fair
child, of the Oberln College, and Ralph
Plumb, of Oberlin rescue notoriety. Evil
IDENTIFY there was an understanding between
this trio of Oberlin Negro Suffrage advo-
Gates, and Gen. Cox's long reply duly con-
sidered as an acceptable dodge until after
the election. These Oberlin professors edu.
Gated Gen. Cox, and it is to be presumed
that he was well educated in the doctrine
ofNegro Equality and Negro Suffrage, for he
studied with them, roomed with them, and
may have slept with them. So that the
Oberlinites can readily trust Gen. Cox, and
give silent acquiescence to his political
trickery in this case of emergency. But
will the soldiers or others who have no par
ticular love of or affinity to Oberlin poll
tics, trust him ?-iShield and Banner.

nisprncefuI 10 the state.

Friends of General Cox say he resisted
the passage of the Amalgamation bill, when
in the State Senate, on the ground that it
would "disgrace the State by putting any
such degrading measure on the statute
book" Then any measure" that interdicts
the amalgamation of the White and Black
races is held to be, by General Cox, "degad-
ing" We suppose that if to prohibit the
amalgamation of the two races is ''degrad-
ing' to the State, General Cox must hold it
to be equally degrading to deny suffrage
to the colored people in Ohio.
