would pour into her lap unlimited wealth.
These facts and reflections admonish rs
now, late Is II is, that We must do what We
can to avert the evils that threaten us, and
tosecure for Richmond that trade and pros
perity to which she is entitled. As one Of
the means Of accomplishing this, not one

It will bring Richmond somewhat more
within the line Of battle. She will by that
reach q point whore she may be felt
where she will be heard and seen-where
she will share in the trade and the travel.
The achievement Of that work will show

There was a large audience at the Opera
House last night--dress circle and parquette
being filled with fashionable and apprecia-
tive visitors, large proportion OF whom
were ladies, doubtless attracted tbither by
the report of Miss Westerns natural and
artistic impersonation of Lady Isabel or
Madame Vine in East Lynne. Nor were
they disappointed. Miss Westerns delinea-
tions of woman's feelings in her lighter
aud most passionate moods, is true to ma
turs, so true that the audience last night
listened to- and gazed upon her in deep,
silent and fixed attention. 3" '.-'"

GlhsOm and Dorsey ON lhe stump.

The announcement of orators to defend
Radicalism by the Republican State Cen
trail Committee at Columbus embraces the
names of that brace of beauties whose
names head this article. B. .
DIR. G. Volney Dorsey, late Treasurer of
State, during the war proclaimed that ne
STAYED at home to protect the "soldiers from
a fire in the rear''as an excuse for not 60
ing into the army. H. ~. -
A committee of his own friends, appoint
cd TO investigate the Treasury, made such
disclosures as led to his removal from office
and indictment for malpractice in office,
using the funds of the Stale and cutting
coupons from the bonds of GoverDment
bonds belonging-to the soldiers. His first
Indictment was defective because a single
letter in the Christian name was wrong,
and he was again inflicted. This, TOO, was
nolled, and, instead of taking his trial for
0 penitentiary otfense, Mr.. q. polney Dor
sey is now omthe stump tor Radicalism.
VIM. II. Gibson was also dismissed
Treasurer of State and a, deiaultef to large
amount. A short time before his detec-
tion and dismissal from Office, committee
of the Legislature, examined the books and
counted the amount IN the Treasury, ana
Mr.. Gibson swOre that the money, and the
evidences of Indebtedness then and there
counted, which made up the entire
amount which ought to have been in
the Treasury, belonged to the State.
Soon after a deficit for hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars was made known, and then
il appeared that Gibson, despite his solemn
oath, had borrowed evidences of indebted
ness to deceive the examiners. Dis
missed from Office by Governor Chase, he
was arrested, indicted, tried and found
guilty of a penitentiary offense, but be-
fore sentence was pronounced, which
would have consigned him to the peniteu-
tiary for term of years, he managed to
get an order tor new trial and, although
the proof of his falsehOod andOf his defal-
cation were strong as proofs of Holy Writ,
he managed in the same court which sub
sequently nollied the proceedings against
Dorsey, to get his case dismissed, and Gov
ernor Dennison, while the Indictment for
stealing was pending, gave him commits
sion in the army to command brave men,
and he is now, with Dorsey, appointed by
the Radical State Central COMMITTEES to
stump the State, to convince the, people
of the disloyalty of those who are deter
mined that the Federal Union must be
preserved" t .-.y

DEmocRi1Ic CANDIDATES. FOR CONGRESS.


We print in this issue of The STATESMAN
a revised and authorized report of the
speech delivered by Judge THURMAN at
Newark, on the evening of the 18th of this
month. 1t is one of the ablest and best of
the.many excellent speeches that we have
laid before our readers since the opening Of
this campaign. Its power, its force, and its
eloquence are unsurpassed by@ny public
effort that has been listened to in Ohio this
fall. The Judge is always strong, clear,
and logical; and this speech has all the
qualities OF excellence that are apt to be
foundin the best speeches Of our ablest
public men, We earnestly commend it to

Equality Of RepreAentnilpn in Com


EDS. OHIo STATESMAN why does 1t take
%. 600 votersfn Ohio for one member Of Con-
gress, when in Rhode Island 1t takes only
10000 voters for the same purposeg Why
are % voters In Ohio only equal to one
voter 10 Rhode Island when we come to rep
resentatinn in Congress? Even Virginia,
with her large negro population, has l0,OOO
voters to one member of Congress. Is this
what our Radical friends call equality OF
representation
But to expose their hypocrisy more fully,
look at California, where 1t takes $4,000
voters to one member of Congress-four
times as many as In Rhode Island, and more
than twice as many as in Massachusetts.
According to our present representation IN
Congress from Ohio, it takes 2OO,OOO Demo-
cratic voters for two Democratic members,
and about 100000 Republlcanlyoters for IL
Republican members. This is equality
according to Republican logic--or rather,
Gov. COXls logic of eueRtS. 1900 ail fYsliYH
But where are the members OF Congress
who represent the Democratic population
in New England? AS the proposed consul
tutional amendment will not materially
change this matter In the free states !
would like to know how. 1t will effect an
equality of representation In Congress. IN
1864 the New England States cast l92 900
votes for Mcclellan and $4,000 for Lincoln,
for President. The Republicans have Y
members in Congress from those States, and
the Democrats none. Is this equality Are
the Democrats in those States represented
any more than the negroes in the South Ija
After all the talk about changing the
basis of representation, think the present
will do as well as any. Ifa change must be
made, why not make it so as to represent
each party according to Its voters, or popu-
lationP / thihk this would be equality.
But the proposed amendment will only
make the present apparent inequality still
more unequal. lu9.. .9ayli ~
If you will give this subject free ven
tilation, think you will do good many
Democrats and johnson men atayor. g,J

DeInne nnd ,he wool Mem.

The Mt. Vernon Banner says: There is in
tense indig lation. throughout this county
against Columbus Delano, in consequence Of
his gross neglect of duty toward his constit-
uents, in notinformIng them of the intended
duty upon wool, until after nearly the en-
tire wool clip of the county had been sold.
The general belief is that Delano is a part
ner with some wool buying spectators.
He has taken good care, however. not to
sell his own wool Delano is firm be-
liever in the scriptural maxim that "he
who looketh not to his own household is
worse than an intidel." ~. .". ul

bridge across the Scioto the water last
evening was ioamlng and dashing against,
the embankment of the road aud thr, aten-
Ing every moment TO break over It's A
break or two was said to have occurred In
the canal below the ciy, bylwhich water
was backM up into the canal, causing it 70
rise rapidly. The basement OF thelWare7
house across the canal at the foot of Friend
street WAS filed with water in consequence
Some two hundred barrels of salt which
Mr., Fitch bad stored in tue basement were
seriously damaged, and in part entirely
lost, 40 .gIji. F ) .lNB.l
There is no doubt, as observations and
reports tended to show, that great damage
must have been done to stock and other
property, especially to the growing crops
on the river bottoms, both above aud below
the city. How extensive and great this
damage has been we have yet to learn. But
In almost every place we have yet hearu
from in Ohio, there have been heavy rams
and unusual high water.
We learn that Alum creek and Big Wal
nut, streams to the east OF us, suddenly
rose to an extent proportionate to that OF
the Sciotoa Bridges, crops and other prop
erty on the bottoms of these streams were
swept away and an incalculable amount
of damage done.
We give tte following incidents as SAM
pies of the effects caused by high water in
other localities, within day or two apart
The railroad bridge over the Little Miami
river at Plqua gave way yesterday, morn
ing, suddenly killing John Kellenberger,
formerly fireman on, the C.& |. road, and
drowning three others. The city of Day.
toh was said to be flooded, as we as all
the adjacent country. ,,.. ...,,,, ~ .5e.D. b
On the c. & l. road, the bridges at
Knightstown,, Greenville,and Nettle Geek,
gave way in whole or in part. The latter
bridge is a short distance beyond aUrbana.
One of the inspectors ofithe road was on,
this bridge when it gave way, endeavor!ng
to secure it, aod was swept down the stream
for half mile. He then managed to get
into the top of tree and was saved. ~ %.
