POLITICAL.
OHIO.


Governor Cox, who has abandoned John
son since tho latter placed himself in oppo-
sition to the reconstruction amendment, is
talked of as the chairman of the Ohio del
eeation to welcome the Southern Unionista
to Philadelphia.
The Chicago Tribune quotes the resolu-
tion adopted by the County Union conven-
ton in reference to Judge Spalding, and
adds: THAT this is right There should be
no uncertainty about the position of any
Cougrets this fan. The Raymends, D0olit
ties, stiilwells, ct al, are played out"
Much indignation is felt among the Col
umbus Union men ct the treachery of sew
eral leading signers of tho call for a John
son Copperhead Convention in Hamilton
county, it being asserted that those gentle
men owe their official positions to direct
and distinct pledges given while their nom
nations were pending in the Senate, that
they would do nothing to hinder the sue
cess Of the Union organization in Ohio, but
would rende- it their cordial support
The City Council of Columbus, on Mon
dag night, had another of those interesting
episodes Of bslloting at dead lock which
used to charactsrizs its earlier proceedings.
The occasion was the necessity for filing a
vacancy in the Board of School Examiners.
The name of Hon. E. E. White, late State
Commissioner Of Common Schools, was pre-
presented, and also that Of Dr.. Asa D. Lord,
formerly connected with the City High
School, and now in charge of the Blind
Asylum. The Democrats, however, con
centrated their forces on Otto Dresel, whose
recommendation was that he was subjected
BY the Ohio House Of Representatives, to a
vote Of censure for disloyai sentiments as
member Of that body. After five or SIX
bAllOtings, both sides united in electing Mr..
White. who received thirteen votes, and
Lord two.
The Cincinnati Commercial says
A more perplexed sci Of persons than The

tion without qualification; snd they can

Having noticed in your paper at differ
ent times your remarks in reference to
the culture and manufacture of sorghum,
1 take the liberty of writing to inform you
of the success of manufacturing it in this
town. Two years ago this fall the exper-
iment was made of manufacturing the
syrup by steam, which proved decided
success. Last fall another evaporator was
introduced which enabled the farmers to
have their cane all made up, before the
frost should injure it, into a superior ar
ticle Of syrup. The advantages of using
steam are that It is cheaper, using only
one fire to grind the cane and evaporate
the juice; it viii not burn the syrup. and
it cleanses the Juice more effectnally from
allimpurities, thereby removing that OBJ
jectionable tast9 which syrup made over a
fire usually has Any information in ref
erence to the above that your readers
might wish, would be cheerf1lly given by
writing to Thomas Smith, who first intro
duced the manufacture By steam into this

Base Ball Clubs, in which the latter were
victors, much to the surprise of their
friends, who knew that but three of their
nine had eper seen the game played until
the 9th instant, ana thought they were
oUer bold in sending challenge to a ma
tured Club, like the -.Mahoning,n but
they were desirous of having game be-
fore disbanding, as they will this week in
consequence of six of their first nine go
ing away. The afternoon was most pro-
pitious, the grounds in fine condition, and
quite crowd pleasantly seated enjoying
the friendly strife. A gentleman present
from Cleveland said theplaying was equal
TO any he had ever seen there. At the
close of the game both clubs sat down TO a
good supper at Stevenson S, provided by the
"Bloomfeidp club. where good humor and
good appetites reigned supreme. One IA
cetlous member said this was the best Inn

would have, answered in his accustomed
prompt manner, ''fotvtW Another watched
a pitcher very closely until he found moth

The Presidential Pilgrimage.

At 1870 this morning the President Of
the United States, with his Cabinet, will
commence swinging on the circle,' and
climbing the @dizzy round to Chicago
and back, going by way of New York
Buffalo, and coming by way of Cincin-
matt and Pittsburgh. The Presidential
party will arrive in Philadelphia at l:3O
this afternoon, and remain until o'clock
tomorrow morning, when they will leave
for New York. The contact that the
President will have with the people will
permit him to throw aside that official re-
serve in which he has wrapped himself so
closely in the White House and enlighten
the people little as to his policv He
viii see many anxious inquirers for truth,
and may perhaps at least find time to tell
them something of MS past history as an
individual, and to point them to his record
to illustrate by the heretofore what will
happen in the hereafter. He is swinging
on large circle, and the roar Of the null
titudes viii be about him for some thous-
snds of miles, and it is to be hoped he will
not neglect 10 maintain, for the encour-
agement of persons willing to hold office,
that he has tried surfeit of public trusts,
going the giddy round from village AL
derman to President, and that, as his
course is nearly run, he has nothing to
gain by doing wrong. This is the sort of
talk to edify and build up sinners and
make the righteous comfortable. The
philosophical Seward will swing on
the circle with the President,
and the beloved Stanton will also
swing, and likewise our financial friend,
McCulloch. We hope Father Welles will
not be left behind His beard is needed
to ornament the social train. The osten-
sible objective point is the grave of Doug
las. 1t is happines that all parties may
meet around 1t in good will, and join in
the Inauguration of monument to his
memory. It is also possible that it would
not be impertinent to imagine that the
real object of the journey is to seek for an
Administration party In this view Of
the case we regret to see that the pilgrim
age, though rather vast than otherwise,
still is sectional. The South is ignored as
it were. How can the President suppose

through the perturbed South would be
more interesting than one in the placid
North. But as Cincinnati is not omitted
from the programme, we ought not to pro-
tract geographical complaint, and will
not The President will be absent from
the White House for nearly month. This
is a source of the deepest dissatisfaction to
those who believe in his principles
so far as to be willing to accept nice
slice of bread, buttered with gold, from
his hand. He cannot be distributing those
slices while on the wing, and now, right
away after the formation of the new par
ty, and Congress out of the way, he is
losing precious time, and the beautiful
declaration of first principles made by
General Geiger-which far exceeds the
tame bread d-and-butter decree of Governor

The consistency and principle displayed
by the Democratic party is manifest in
this-thst while it denounces Republicans
for voting in favor of the bill to equalize
bounties and to increase their own pay it
also denounces those who voted against it.
Some Republican members minority,
we are happy to say-voted in favor of
the bill, and forthwith the whole Demo-
cratic press is filed with outeries against
it, and it was only passed by Democratic
votes. Forthwith the Democrats in the
districts whose members did this, berate
them for treachery TO the soldiers. It
seems determined upon, as John A. Bing-
ham says, that if a member voted for it he
is to be damned, and if he voted against
il he must be damned anyhow.
