Gen. seheuck and the IOhiO Senator
Rhin.

From the Cambridge (Marylandl Intelligeneer.
We have noticed for some time past, in
the perusal of our Ohio exchanges that
quite an animated contest is going on in
that State for the Senatorial succession,
and among the parties mentioned, Gen. r.
G. Schenek is leading and prominent
candidate.
Knowing as we do his commanding tai
ents as a fnancier and an able legislator,
his impartial execution ofjustice as an ex-
ecutive military officer in our midst, and
his bravery on the field, to which his hon
orable scars bear ample testimony, it is but
natural that we of FREE Maryland, should
feel an earnest interest in his welfare-as
it is in great measure owing to his ener-
getic and fearless administration of affairs
while commanding this military depart
ment that our State, in connection with the
efforts of its loyal citizens, owes her proud
position as a star in the armament of free
dom.
Few men coming among US as strangers
have left us more regretted, or have been
more generally appreciated by our citizens
for the many noble qualities of head and
heart, and abilities displayed in the trying
position in which he was placed. But the
citizens of his own State, too, it seems, are
keenly appreciative of his abilities and
distinguished services, as well in the
forum as the field, with knowledge of the
fattering fact that in seventeen years
of service in public life, his record has al
WAYS been honorable consistent and
straightforward throughout, and his NOM
ination cannot but be regarded not only
as highly complimentary, but as an evil
dence of the determination of the people of
Ohio to place none but men of known and
tried ability in high public stations.
While among us as a military ruler his
genial nature won for him hosts of friends,
while his severity to the enemies of
his country showed him to be infexi-
BILE in the dispensation of justice, and
to no one man during the rebellion
did the administration show a more Just
appreciation of or repose a stronger con-
fdence in, as an efficient public officer,
than in General Schenck. While of course
we are excluded from any participation in
Ohio politics, still we may be permitted
the assertion that if Maryland had any
voice in the premises her loyal vote would
be cast for General Robert @. Sehenck-
the distinguished civilian, the earnest
patriot, and able and accomplished states
man,

Queen Victoria always sends a gift Of
f3 to any poor mother in her dominions
who may give birth to triplets. The latest
successful candidate for the money is the
wife of James Gibson, a weaver Of Kilbar-
chan, Scotland.
Old King Leopold used to say "The
Belgie throne is not bad seat, as times
go, but it is neither old nor strong enough
to afford being played tricks with. 1
wish to leave it to my son in a sound con-
dition, and let him keep it SO if he can"
A druggist of Bolton, Yorkshire, who
had solI poison which had been put to a
fatal use, was convicted by the magistrates
recently and fined, under the statute regu-
lating the sale of poisons The statute re-
quires that the sale should be completed
in presence of a witness, and the par
ticulars of it entered IN a book. As a
first offence, in this instance the nagis-
trstes only inflicted a nominal fine.
The Queen of Spain has conferred the
Order of the Golden Fleece, rendered
vacant by the death of Infant Don Fran
oeseo and the Duke de RiVas, on the King
of Hanover and Prince Charles of Prus-
sia. The deathrof the King of Belgium
leaves another collar disposable.

Why the COpperheads Hate General
sehenek

Below will be found some of the rea-
sons why the Copperheads do not want to
see Gen. Schenck made U. S. Senator;
"No COMPROMISE WITH REBELS"
Mr.. Speaker 1 can understand how, in
the Revolution, when these States, then
colonies, broke away from the mother
country, many man who was attached to
monarchical institutions, or fearful Of rush
ing upon the untried experiment of a new
form of government, to be reached through
the horrors of war, might have shrunk
back and been Tory of that day.
But how, after the better part of a CEN
tury has gone by, and this great Govern
ment, under the Constitution adopted at
the close of that Revolution, has gone on
prospering and to prosper, when it has
made its mark high on the roll of nations,
and the hopes of world have clustered
around it-how any one with this history
and triumph before him, can to-day
doubt, or distrust, or bargain away his
country's nationality, is more than can
comprehend. / declare SIR, that in my
opinion the l0orst Tory of the Rerotutio1l
,oas apatriot and a gentleman, compared
Nth Copperhead of 1864. Applause.

fore the House Of Representatives, April

A shermanite ON sherman.

The Cleveland Herald publishes CON
munication signed "H, t" whichit EDITORIAL
endorses as follows: at presents the claim
'of Mr.. Sherman to reelection in a FAI
'1ight." That portion which treats c
matters of fact admits all that is claime
on that subject by the opposers of Senate
Sherman. Wequote:
~ beg to say here, that by no mean
favor the reelection of John Sherman be
cause he or his record is immaculate.
I will say here further, tha
the vote of Mr.. Sherman in the Senate, il
favor of retaining the Fugitive Slave Law
of 1893, which has been SO clamorously
assailed, was, in my humble opinion
| Speaking only as a citizen an error il
Judgment. Personally, 1 would have
voted, at that time, for the utter abolition
of the Fugitive Slave Law-ancient and
modern. He had his reasons. While
am unconvinced by their cogency, and be-
lisve him to have been mistaken in opinion
as to what was then expedient, have un-
wavering confidence in his integrity of in
tention and loyalty to freedom"
No one claims that John Sherman was
in sympathy with slavery or Shareholders.
We all know he committed an ''error in
Judgment when he voted against the re-
peal of the fugitive slave law of 1913. He
committed another error in Judgment
when he advocated the re-enslavement of
colored men after they had served the
country in a military capacity. Another
"error in judgment" was his vote declar-
ing the action of the President in sus-
pending the habeas corpus, at the break
ing out of the war Illegal An "error in
Judgment" was his letter to Governor
johnson, in 1862, declaring that President
Lineoln's administration was being "Ty-
lerized." Az "error in Judgment was
his bitter, denunciatory speech in the
Senate, in 1884, speaking of President
Lincoln as one who had resorted to eman-
cipation under the pressure of public
opinion; who had supported slavery; who
had protracted the war; who had given
protection to the enemy; who had been
partial to pro-slavery Generals; who had
so shaped his official action as to bring dis
couragement upon the country; who was
for the defeat of his party
who had stood in the way Of earnest legis-
lation by Congress, and who was guilty of
insincerity and levity in the Emancipation
Proclamation itself An "error in iudg.
ment" was the franking and circulating
of the Pomeroy Circular" charging
President Lincoln with a tendency to-
ward compromises and temporary ex-
pedients," and lack of "purity."
We think it clear that public man |
who, during the transition period upon |
which the country entered at the begin
ming of the Shareholders rebellion, COM
mitted SO many "errors in Judgment" all |
IF them on the side of slavery and fogy-
SIN, as opposed to freedom and progress
standing still while his colleagues were
making such rapid strides-is not the best |
nan to represent the STATE of Ohio in the
United States Senate.

The Toledo Blade pronounces against
General Schenck on the ground of "ine1-
perience," whereupon writer in the
Columbus Journal causticly retorts as
follows:
General Schenck, 1 believe, made a
speech at Toledo during the last campaign
and the Blade man must have mistaken
his vigor for youth. If remember cor
rectly, General Schenek was a member of
Congress from ls43 to 1851, when he was
sent out as Minister to Brazil. He was
recalled by Mr Pierce, and has been in
the public service ever since. Something
over a quarter of a century in the higher
departments of public service certainly
ought to cure man of inexperienced

The SenatOrship-A Voice from the
Country.
F1rcHv1LLE, Huron Co.. Jan. II

FITcHvILLE, Huron Co., Jan. Is.
EDITOR CLEVELAND LEADER A large
majority of the people of this county have
noticed with entire approval the remarks
in the LEADER respecting the contest now
going on in the Legislature for United
States Senator, and their information from
Columbus and other sources as to the
course pursued by the rival candidates has
convinced them that the present Senator
at least ought not to be returned to the
United States Senate. The manner in
which the canvass is carried on is an in
suit to the people of Ohio, and it would
be well if the people of the State would
rebuke the undignifed course of our Sem
ators and members who leave their high
places in the national councils and hasten
home to their State capital, on the eve of
the assembling of the Legislature, and
fete and manipulate the members, hoping
that " thrift may follow fawning," even
though they bind the supple hinges of
their"-safes. Very few of the people here
are personally acquainted with General
Schenck, nor do they approve of his COM
ing to Columbus to Aatter or influence the
members of the Legislature. Yet they do
not forget that Sherman went there sew
eral days before him, and is less excusable
for opening such contest than Schenck
for following and defending his own in
terests.
This is Sherman's old Congressional dis
trict, and it was this county that gave him
his elections to the House, but since his
Senatorial career commenced, his course |
in defeating the bill to emancipate the |
slave who had fought to save his country |
his votes and speeches on the repeal of |
the fugitive slave law-his condemnation |
of Mr.. Lincoln in regard to his policy of |
denunciation out of |
Congress of the great martyr at the time |
of his second nomination-his vast wealth |
estimated by his friends to be immense), |
he entered Congress a compare
lively poor man-his official infuRnce and /
patronage always exerted for his rela-
tives and to reward his partisans-his
denunciation of the clerks in Washington
for expressing opinions in regard to his
political conduct-while he was sending
to perambulate the State
and manipulate conventions to secure
his return to the Senate-these with
,ther causes that might be mention
ID, have alienated most of his old
friends, both in this and Erie counties. If
he question of his nomination could be de-
,ided by the voters of Huron county
alone, he would return to Mansfield, anda as
4 private citizen mediate upon the insta-
oility Of human affairs, and of his in par
ocular.
Our advice would be that the election
hould be postponed until next winter
hen elect no man who comes begging for
he high Office of United States Senator,
out if the Legislature determines to elect
| Senator this winter, then let US have
'chenck as first choice, Bingham or De-
ano as second, and Sherman-not at all.

On Wednesday last, Morris LYON. Of
Copley, was arrested by Constable Fair
banks, and brought before Justice Cum
bingham on a charge of larceny. With
the defendant the constable brought three
buffalo robes, several old bed-quilts, some
pieces Of new carpet-stuff, some old har-
ness lines and new nail-hammer, which
he found upon the defendants premises.
Lyon appeared without counsel, waived
an examination, and was therefore re-
CURED to give bail in $1,000, which, in
talllng to do, he was committed to jail.
He. owns farm of some sixty acres, has
SIX children, and has for years been pecu-
liarly unfortunate in his domestic affairs,
his wife being so totally insane as to re-
quire his oversight in the commonest
household things. We are told that pill
fering has long been his besetting propen-
sity.

The report, some time since sent from

pay it in thirty dBys. To-day the Secre-
tary of War decided that the time for its
payment should be increased thirty days
longer, until the department comes to a
final decision upon the case. Col. Crane
is still in service, and the impression pre-
walls here that the sentence of the court

A word of Advice ssFree Gratis for

The Head-Senter of the Herald clique
should be more moderate in his promises
of fat offices to members Of the Legisla-
ture in consideration of their support of
Senator Sherman; for he will find
many exceptions to the rule upon
which he seems to act, that every man
has his price" Besides, he might not be
blstofulall ell the agreements be pro-
poses to enter into. Remember Mrs,
