Interesting "Side Show" /"

toiO"s
The Cincinnati Gazette and Commercial
have got up an interesting little fight on
their own hook. in regard to the Ohio
Scnatorship. The former is SHERMAN's s
backer-the latter SCHENCK's. The En-
quirer having obtaineda II reserved seat in
dulges IN the following excellent and racy
criticism on the performance:
Our two loyal and conscientious cotem-
porarcs are at odds--their normal condi-
tion-upOn this matter. The Commercial is
not ut all particular; would go in for any
able man of the right stripe, but is con-
WINGED that there is only one such-Sher-
man. The Gazette is not at all particular,
would go in for any able man of the right
stripe but is convinced that there is only
one such-Sehenck. Both are perfectly
disinterested; but both are rigidly consci-
entious likewise; and just at the spot
where interest withdraws from the dispute
their several conscienees take hold with a
tcnacity compared with which Spaulding's
glue Is mere molasses and water.
This Is no concern, really, of ours. Be-
longing to the disloyal party, we have, in
loyal contemplation, no interest in the
state; consequently no right to have an
opinion. Still, in spite to the absence of
right TO opinions, people viii have them
entitled to view the performance: and the
rest follows rs a matter of necessity. Now
there is a day of jubilee coming, and we
feel it. The lion and the lamb are going to
lie down together, and all disputes and con-
troversies are To be swallowed up in an un-
iyersal harmony of opinion. We will not
resist the gentle influences which herald its
approach-the dawn which proclaims the
splendors of the coming day.
We find ourselves spontaneously agree
ing with our contemporaries in many things,
and approXimating to them in others. We
agree with them-under certain limitations
upon the subject of the senator. We
most cordially subscribe to the opinion of
the Gazette, that Mr.. Sherman is an unfit
person to be elected to the office in question :;
and as cordially to the opinion ofthe Com
mercidl, that Mr. Schenck is unfit. What
more can the most orthodox loyalist ask of
MS than this 1t is not often that we are
privileged TO come into state of harmon
ious coincidence with both of our loyal
contemporaries at one and the same time !;
and we do not know but we shall, ere long
be found eoncurring in the now very pre-
Valent opinion that the longlooked for
millennium is about to come in with the
tullness of the Ethiopian.
1t ispositively asserted by Washington
correspondents that Mr.. Adams viii return
ilbllt III lilt SllIlllSs dlll lllt VI MI.
Stanton are proposing that he be ROTATED"
from the War Department to the Court of
st. James. They urge that the appoint
mentSwOuld be an acknowledgement of his
services in organizing victory" and that
he is entitled to the shield of diplomatic
protection from arrest when he leaves the
War Department, as his predecessor, Mr..
Cameron, not only received II, but was
thereby enabled TO avoid some vexatious
vengeance-seekers. 1t is also rumOred that
Mr.. Wclles may be rendered the Russian
Miliodlkee Nelos.
The best thing Stanton can do is to emf
CRATE. The people of the United States
despise, and have no further use for him.
A man who was forced TO travel through
the peaceful State of Ohio, not many weeks
ago, in special train and closely guarded
by armed soldiers, is a coward of the mean
est stamp and unfit for the ecompanionship of
honest, independent men. We don't vOnder
that he fears the scorn and Indignation that
will meet him when he retires from the
official position he has so long disgFaced
and outraged. -A'
The day of punishing Thought and speech
in this country is at an end, and we want to
