OHIO AFTER OEEICE.

Distinguished gentlemen Of Ohio have been
here lately asking The PRESIDENT to kick q
valuable financial officer out of the place be
holds, who, they acknowledge, is an excel,
lent officer, but claim that Ohio is entitled
to the place and wants it, and therefore, to
to the detriment of the public interest-es-
pecially in the midst Of his report, which is
Of as much importance to the Government
and tax payers as any other that is about to
be made-hc must be removed to suit q local
State interest. The Office which these gen.
tlemen desire to control is that Of the Com
no defence Of Mr.. ROLLINS, for no person, to
our knowledge, assails him, either privately
or officially
We propose TO say, in answer to the state
ment that Ohio is entitled to the place, that
we do not think so, for the following good
reasons, namely:
lst Mr.. STANTON, Secretary Of War, is
from Ohio
I'd. Mr.. SrASBERr, Attorney General is
from Ohio
Sd. Mr.. CHASE, Chief Justice Of the Su.
preme Court, is from Ohio:
4th. Mr.. SwAYSE, Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court, is from Ohio.
5th. Mr.. JORDAN, Solicitor Of the Treasury
is from Ohio.
N6th. Mr.. TAYLOR, First Comptroller Of the
Treasury, is from Ohio.
| 1th. Mr.. WALKER, Fifth Auditor OF the
Treasury, is from Ohio.
sth. Mr.. THEAKER, Commissioner Of Pat
ents, is from Ohio.
9th. Mr.. BARRETT, Commissioner of Pen
sions, is from Ohio.
10th. Mr.. CARTIER, the Chief Justice Of
the Supreme Court Of the District of Colum
bia, is from Ohio.
We do not care to increase the list o
officeholders from Ohio to-day. We will
| look the blue Book" over for another batch
on some occasion when news is scarce
Neither do we care to count Gen. GRANT OF
Lieut. Gen. SHERMAN against Ohio in tht
general scramble now making from thai
State for Mr.. ROLLINS head. These two
gallant officers belong to the nation, and
have, and are entitled to life leases on theil
places. But We think we have shown that
the basis upon the claim made from Ohio
is not founded upon either financial safety
nor sound policy. Good financial officers dc
not grow upon the corners Of the streets, and
when found, they should be employed for the
public interest regardless of the politicians
hue and cry for Office.

A CARD.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1850.
EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN: The paragraph
quoted in your paper Of this morning from
the New York Tribune, to the effect that
the Resident National Union Executive Com.
mittee was indebted to our bank in the sum
Of thirty thousand dollars, is untrue in every
respect. There is o considerable balance to
the credit of the committee on the books of
our institution.
1t is evident that the Tribune has been
imposed upon by some designing individual.
By giving this an insertion in the REPuB-
LICAN you will confer favor on, yours truly
RIrrESuoUsE, Fowler & Co.
Our editorial remarks upon the Tribune's
telegram only applied IF" the statement ,vas
"true," which we doubted. We congratulate
the bank that il is not true, and we also con.
gratuate the creditors Of the Resident -
Committee that there is considerable bal
ancc to the credit of the committee" on the
books OF the bank.
The Tribune's statement which we quoted
on Saturday, and which it now appears from
the card Of Messrs. RrrrESuousE, FOWLER &
Co.. was falsehood furnished that paper by
designing Individual" reminds Us Of the
following editorial paragraph in Saturdays
Tribune:
The Washington journals are always made
up Of the news in the morning New York
and Philadelphia papers, and it is the worst
economy to pay for telegraphing when all
the news comes in the evening train"
We should not have noticed this wholesale
and unjust onslaught upon the respectable
presses of this city, not one Of which, to our
knowledge, has ceased its connection with
the Associated Press" Of New York, but
for the simple purpose Of saying that while
we have always extended courtesies to the
New York journals, and furnished them with
news which would otherwise have appeared
exclusively in our columns twenty-four hours
earlier than they would have otherwise re-
ceived it, that the paragraph referred to in
the above - card is the only item that we
have copied from the Tribune for months
and that one turns out TO be base fabrica.
tion.
The present editor of the New York Tr,'
bune probably based his Judgment about the
news of the respectable journals Of Washing
ton upon recollection Of his own experience
not long since, as editor Of disreputable
print in this city. We believe he did then
just what he charges respectable Washington
journals with doing now-copied his "news'
day late from New York papers, He is a
young man yet, and has much to learn in
journalistic courtesy and discrimination be,
tween fact and falsehood.

TaE FAMINE IN IypIA.-The ereat fami

TIE FAMINE IL IsprA.-The great famine
now prevailing in India is said to be the re-
suit of four or FIVE bad seasons, varied by
great foods, which have made the supply Of
food totally inadequate to the wants of the
inhabitants. A correspondent, writing from
the Cuttack district, thus describes some Of
the horrors OF this famine: "The dying and
the dead have been seen lying in our streets,
though this has not been so much as at Cut
tack and at Balasore and some other places.
AT Pooree it has been common for the police
to find, morning after morning in the streets
and lanes, sixty, seventy, eighty or more
corpses In the Cuttack district, 5000
deaths from famine and pestilence were re.
ported in one week, and it is generally be.
lieved that at Balasore and Pooree the dis.
tress has been severer than here"

The following is an extract from letter 10
a gentleman in Boston:
Nav Yohk, Nov. IA.
see that you have elected two colored
gentlemen as representatives to the General
Court. have been informed, however, by
an envious Connecticut man, that the gen
tlcmen referred to really belong to that State,
and that Massachusetts has not begun with
negroes born on her soil. Is this true? l
sincerely wise that our own representation in
Congress from this city could be regarded as
being equally respectable, even If We did
have to borrow our representative men from
Connecticut, or even Massachusetts.
But Am afraid your enthusiasm, timely
as it is, will not be lasting. There was a
time, long ago. when the turore created by
the French Revolution made Equality and
Fraternity so popular with the dominant po.
litical party in Boston that the Governor
gave ball to the negroesl But it was only
a short time after that when your people
went back on them, and drove them out Of
the State!
haye been trying to find an opportunity
to revisit your pleasant little town, and de-
rive some new inspiration from its classic
and heroic associations. Believing, as do
that the cradle OF pretty much all sorts oi

complaint against the action Of the Prssbytsry,
who acted upon the positive testimony Of three
witnesses, while tho testimony in his behalf Of his
aged father, kind brother and asotionats children
was only negative and Of no avail, he dened the
world to prove that ho was guilty Of indecent or
vulgar language, which he abhorred above all
things. He thanked God he had not boen found
guilty Of adultery. Tho sentence Of suspension did
not affect his relations pastor Of the church, any

The Twsnty-ons Mile Tros at Riverside

BOSTON, Nov. 10, loob.-Ths twenty-ons mile
race inside Of an hour at the Riverside Park to-day
was failure in evory respect II was the hrst a..
tempt to perform such feat ever made BY any
horse In the world and, from the success MoGowan
achieved itis well 10 believe that successful At.
tempt never will be made. The owners Of the horse
wngered g. 900 against 81, 500 that he would per-
form tho unparalleled feat, but the outside bets
were almost Ave to one that he would not and very
few offering such odds found takers. Tho horse had
trotted about year since twenty miles in hfty-
eight minutes and twenty i've seconds, which now
stands a. the best time on record. The track was
very bad to-day, heavy rain having fallen during
tho night, but even with q good day and good
track 1t is not generally believed that the twenty
one or even twenty miles would have been per-
formed in an hour. Al the end Of the thirteenth
mile. which was done In 3s52, tho horse was drawn
by order Of the owner. The thirteen miles In the
race, year ago, was performed in 37:30f. The
quickest mile made to-day was the second, which
was done in 2:43i, snd the longest was tho thir.
teenth, which was done lsisursy In 35s. The aver.
age time made was about three minutes per mile.
There was great number present from New York
and othor distant cities.
