Detective POLICE AGENCY.

We call the attention of our citizens and
the public generally to the advertisement
in this paper of the Great Western Police
Agency of S. Barmore & Co., whose office is
located in Rooms Nos. and in Carpenters
Building No. III South High street. This
Agency is established for the detection of
criminals, the recovery of lost and stolen
property, the prosecution of police busi-
ness generally, and the collection of claims.
Agencies Of this kind are necessity of
the times. So numerous have the depreda-
tions upon private property become; so
multiplied, diverse and perplexing are their
schemes and inventions for gaining the un-
lawful possession of money and property,
that some means, in addition to the ordinary
legal police force of the country, seems to
be absolutely necessary to ferret out crimi-
mails and restore ill-gotten property to the
rightful owners. Enterprising and vigilant
police agencies may, in great measure,
meet this necessity. o@u
The agency of Messrs. Barmore & Co.
we commend to the public. Its purpose is
to come in aid OF the civil authorities for
the detection OF crime, the punishment of
offenders, and the recovery Of property lost
by theft or fraud. Mr.. Barmore has had
experience and manifested skill in the bus
iness of Detective, and knows how to
choose competent and trustworthy assist
ants. We wish him success and liberal
patronage, @ foaIe f.'tE ~ ftl.i 9iE I

NFr. vaIiapdigham mt Eaton.

The statements made by the Commercial
of yesterday, In regard to an assault upon
Mr.. Vallandigham, at Eaton, are. with a
single exception, wholly untrue. The real
facts are, simply, that Mr.. went on Mon-
day night to Eaton TO argue case in court;
and did argue IL on Tuesday, remaining in
the town all day, and at the hotel till some
time after dark. He went directly to the
depot, and the train being behind time, re-
mained at or near the depot for an hour.
when, after he was upon the cars, some
cowardly ruffians threw stones. The train
renaineda q quarter Of an hour afterward
at the depot, but nothing further occurred,
except loud talk and threats outside.-
Mr.. V. came down to this city the same
night, and remained till last evening. The
affair was .disgraceful enough, to the town
and all concerned In it, as it actually Oc-
Cured; but, even with the exaggerated
statements of it, the Commercial adds not
one word of condefhnation.- Cincinnati En-

the following :,'-f.,...r. rgi.. .. .,,,..
.Hon. Harvey NJ. Watterson, who was del
egated by the President TO go South and ex-
anime the operation OF Reconstruction, mas
returned to-day, and made his report TO the

Here is gentleman who was specially
commissioned by the President to make
tour Of the South for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning how the work Of reconstruction is
progressing--t is, how thepeople of the
South are conducting themselves and how
they are feeling toward the Federal Gov
ernrnent and the Union. The experience
he has derived from this tour has caused
him to become ''pleased with the recon-
structed rebels,n and he feels justified in
saving to the President that "they will act
as becomes them In their situation What
more can be asked OF them? Isthis nora all
we want them to do or should want them to
dor When such testimony comes up from
the South through reliable channels,
wherein consists the common sense OF de-
manding that their Representatives shall
be excluded from their seats In Congress!

Indian summer.

The question was raised In October wheth-
er we had not then our Indian summer.
But there can be no dispute that we have
now, in the latter half of November, gem
uine season OF that description. Our own
private opinion is that we have had an In
dian summer, with slight variations, 70
give it spice, for the last six weeks. One
remarkable feature in 1t is, that as the sea-
son has advanced and come nearer to the
usual beginning of winter, it has grown
warmer and more and more pleasant. The
last three or four. days have been more as
Simulated to ordinary days in July than in
November.
1t is agreed, we believe, by all ladies and
gentlemen who make calls or meet upon
the sidewalks, and converse 4or fyeImin7
utes about their health and the state of the
weather, that the memory of that famed
antiquarian, ''the oldest estinhabitant," cannot
refresh itself, amid all the pleasing reminis-
cences Of the glories of the golden age just
passed, with the recollection of year when
the fall was, as in this, almost one long con-
tinued and delightful Indian summer.
The problem whether we have an Indian
summer being settled by the stern logic
of events and in due course OF; the rulings
in natures high court of chancery, another
question comes up for discussion by elo-
quent ladies in the parlor and lonnging
gentlemen on the street corner. tits, sllow
long is this fine weather going to lastg'
The general expression is, that It cannot
last much longer; that the mild Indian
summer will soon be succeeded by fierce
squaw winter; that there will shortly be
dreadful roo among theelements, &C., &c.
We have heard these and similar lugu-
brious prophecies repeated on an average
for at least neshundred times daily during
the past week. The fact that nature laughs
at them, and smilingly lengthehs out our
fall-summer with which she used to delight
the red man of the forest in his hunting sea-
son, does not, at all discourage our weather,
prophets. Onthe contrary, the more their
prophecies fail, the more persistently and
earnestly they talk ofcoming freezes, storms
and tempests. ..sHf sgwIL
All things bide their time. So wrote the
wisest of the sons of man many centuries ago.
The Indian summer will stay its allotted
time, and then it will depart at the fiat OF
Him to whom it owes its existence. When
that departure will take place, no man
knows butwe can all be grateful that it
has been this year SO long delayed.

larger naval force than at present to even
establish a nominal blockade of all the ports
of entry In the republic. England and the
United States cannot and will notrecognize
the blockade as tat present exists, and it is
doubtful whether when Spain discovers
Chill to be In earnest. that Pareja will be
reinforced, for the Spanish exchequer is
painfully low. 1t has doubtless been the
intention of Pareja all along to endeavor to
raise sum of money from Chilli, as he did
from Peru, but he has fallen in with diff

What Did They Mean ny ID:

1t was common for leading Republicans
to say, during the tendency of the War,
that all the Southern people had to do to
enjoy their rights in the Union was for
them to lay down their arms and thence
forth to 'dutifully conduct Themselves
that thereby the Union would be maintain
ed, and that it was not necessary to call in
to assist in the adjustment of matters any
statesmanship. Were they sincere in this?
II they were sincere, they can not now,
with any degree of propriety, claim that
the men to whom this promise was held out
should be denied participation in the Gov
eminent, or that the whole system OF Gov
ernment should be subyerted. ,oa.s a.

The Cleveland Herald charges THE STATES
MAN with opposing the President. The
STATESMAN pleads, not guilty. Before the
election, The STATESMAN advocated the
maintenance of the Constitution. 1t has
not abandoned that advocacy. Before the
election, The STATESMAN contended that
by virtue of the Constitution the Southern
States, inasmuch as their ordinances of Sc
cession are void, are in the Union, the CO.
equals of each and every other State. 1t
80 contends now. Before the election, The
STATESMAN contended that the Southern
States held within their own hands the sole
power to legislate touching their local af-
fairs. This position it continues to main
tain.

Either through misconception or through

absolute necessity of making the Federal
Government in its action conform strictly
to the letter and spirit Of the Constitution

to what pertains to its local concerns.
They assume and maintain this position,
not to the end that Rebels may be tenderly

they should not be dealt with in a spirit OF
cannibalism; but because they are opposed
to the subversion OF our form of Govern
