WAKING UP!

The veteran z ID. MAKsFiELD Of the Ga
zettc, writing on the commerce and growth Of
Cincinnati, in that paper of Tuesday last, has
the following paragraphs in allasion to our city,
and the Cincinnati Richmond and Fort Wayne
Railroad and inlpresses the truth upon the citi
zens of the Queen City, that she cannot grow
without having this direct communication with
the lumber regions of Michigan and Wiscon-

snow it is a fact that great deal of traffic
comes over he Pennsy lEaniaT road which cannot
reach it's destination via Cincinnati except by
the Little Miami railroad. This business is i'm
mensc, for the Pennsylvania rout is and will ev-
or remain the greatest rout from East to West.
From this state of fact, what follows practical
~? 1. The l.. NJ and G. & X railroads were
compelled to make route through Rich fond,
Ind and the effect is that more than half the
freight on the Little Miami railroad for the
West goes through Richmond 2. The Penn
sy!vania railroad, finding it could not go through
Cincinnati and that this city really refused to be
a railroad center was obliged to defend it's own
interests, and make new road to go round
Cincinnati Hence, the road now making from
Union to Logausport, making (via the Column
bus & Piqua) straight line from Columbus
west. 1t is the interest Of certain railroad cor
porations on the west side Of the city, ard of
certain owners on Front street, to obstruct and
defeat the Little Miami Railroad in its desire to
make direct connection with the Ohio & Mis-
sissp Railroad. The whole amount of this
interest don't amount to one hundreth part Of
the interest in favor Of that connection AMI

into gross folly BY this Insignificant portion of
the people.
Another thing Cincinnati wants, is an i'm me.

Der region of Michigan and Wisconsin. In
fact Cincinnati cannot grow without it. This
connection can be made in no way, so well, as
by the Fort Wayne l. Indiana Railroad. now
making, and to connect with the road through
Michigan to Macinaw. This will go direct
through to the great lumber region. g

no other method than this by which sedentary
business pursuits can be safely followed. II

A writer of the Ohio Statesman has
Just revealed a fact, which will strike the
public with utter amazement, and which
must damn to everlasting infamy the Au-
ditor of State, the Attorney General, and
the Secretary of State, of the State Of
Ohio.
All our readers know that the people
have been taxed to raise fund for the
support Of the 'widows and orphans Gas
the law reads) of those who fell in de-
tense Of the Nation" This was cheer
fully paid by the people. The war took
from families the husband and father,
and when he perished, his wife and chill
dren were often made beggars- utterly
destitute. Those who, it is said, died of
pri7ation in Andersonville and Libby,
and. those who fell in battle, we're prom
ised that their wives and children should
be provided for.
The people of Ohio, in good faith, paid
the money essential to support the FIVE
THOUSAND destitute widows and or
phans of soldiers, whom official reports
show to exists in Ohio.
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars were
thus raised to buy bread and clothing
for women and children and whose hus-
bands and fathers had laid down their
lives at the bidding of the Republican
party.
The officials above named, acting as
Fund Commissioners, lawlessly, and in
violation as we'll of our common humani-
iy, as of the pledged faith Of the people
and the State, seized this money, and left
the widows and orphans of those who
died at Libby and AndersonvilIe, or who
fell at Autietam, Gettysburg, and else
where, in their destitutiOn and poverty
their hunger and rags !
These are the men who howl about
hungry prisoners in Libby and Anderson
Vile, at the very time they are taking
the last morscl of food from the widows
and orphans of those who perishod in
prison
These are the men who say in their
party platform that they own a debt of
gratitude to soldiers, and pledge to their
widows a Substantial support"
What soldier will vote with n party
which thus robs the helpless families of
his dead comrades? ? No true soldier will
do it.

lowing, which is not very fattering as
to the progress the blacks of Richmond,

the city the singular and significant fact
that three hundred and sixty light houses
in the city are owned by negroes, all of

JUDGE TEEURlTAN's OPENING SPEECH
AT EAVERLY.

JUDGE THRUMAN's opening speech of
the campaign, was delivered at Waverly,
in Pike county, on Monday August 5th.
There was peculiar fitness in the Sc
lection Of the town of WaYerly for Judge
Thurman's first speech as the Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, as shown in
his opening remarks. "Thirty-threo
years ago, and in this county," ga
beardIess boy not yet entitled to vote, "
saws the Judge, "I made made my first
political speech" One-third of a CEN
tury afterwards that same youth, grown
to manhood, and with head somewhat
frosted, in the full vigor of an intellect
that has no superior in the State, again
appears before the Democracy Of Pike
county, still true to his early convictions,
and as the candidate of his party for the
first Office in the State-doomed to wrest
from the hands Of the spoilers its politi-
cal rule.
As a finished productiOn-oDe that
points out in language so plain that he
who runs may read, and reading may un-
dorstand, this opening speech of
Judge Thurman,-this first gun Of the
campaign,-is one worthy alike of the
man and the principles he advocates.
Bold, we'll conceived, and abounding
in we'll fortified fucts-showing as it
does, the acts of omission and of com
mission of the party whose policy for
the past six or seven years has dissov-
cred the Union and tramplod under foot

Radical leaders, seeing that Negro Suf-
frage is unpopular with some of their
own party, are denying that any such is
sue is now before the people of Ohio,
and they claim that a voter can support
the NongreI ticket without endorsing
Negro Equality. Thisis a contemplate
and cowardly dodge. The disunion Abb
oitionists have made no other issue in
Ohio this fallsave Negro Equality. Their
State candidates were placed fairly and
squareIy upon Negro Suffrage platform;
and by no subterfuge and double deal
ing can they now escape from the unen-
viable position in which they have vol
UNFAIRLY placed themselves. Every Con-
servative Republican, therefore, who is
opposed to Negro Suffrage, and wishes
to see it defeated, should vote the Dem
oeratic ticket CrczeuiHe Democrat.

It has several times been charged in
this paper, in the last few years, that
frauds Of the most startling character
had been practized by the State authori-
ties at indianapolis, upon Huntington
County, in the matter of credits; but
access to the records could not be had,
and in consequence thereof the charge
could not be well sustained, and the
sWindle exposed.
We have before US the report of the
Adjutant- general of Indiana, fifth vol
ume, from which we are enabled, not
only to established all we have over
charged, but that the fraud was deliber-
ate, venal and criminal. The report was
published in accordance with a resolu-
ton adopted by the Indiana Legislature,
and in a predatory note the Adjutant-
general states that in its preparation
access has been had te the official rolls,
returns, reports Of hospitals and rebel
military prisons, and to such other doc
uments as could be reached" and that
every effort has been made to secure
accuracy in names, dates and facts
From this volume, the accuracy Of
which is so emphatically vouched for
above by Adjutant general Terrell, and
the correctness Of which we have no rea-
son to question, we learn that the one
hundred and thirty-eight men enlisted
in Huntington County, for Company T,
Forty-seventh Regiment Indiana Volun-
teers, was actually credited, in bulk, to
Orange County. Other companies, as
this volume shows, have the precise resi-
dence of the enlisted men fxed' as
Joseph Kesselring, Antioch William
NJ. Ager, Roanoke; Lorenzo D. Taylor,
Mount Elan;" but company T is credit
ed in no such precise manner. The
swindle Is so transparent that there can
be no cavil concerning it.
We make the following literal abstract
from the report of the Adiutant-general,
to show to the parties whose names ap-
pear in it, by Unimpeachab!e evidence,
that they were sold by the loyal State
authorities, like dumb, driven cattle,
like slaves in the dens, like sheep in
the shambles, from one county to anoth-
er. We present this abstract to the tax
payers Of Huntington County that they
may know that the OneroUs taxation IN
der which they are bending, was not the
result of military necessity, but of the
corruption, turpitude and rascality of
the Republican State administration

An ILLUSTRATION.

In 1860, Mr.. Smith lent Mr.. Jones
$4,000 for four years. He lent gold
and was to be paid in the same coin
At the end of four years Jones offered
$4,000 in legal tender greenbacks to
Smith as a satisfaction Of the debt
This was refused by Smith. because the
agreement was god of which was then
worth three dollars in paper. He brought
suit for his money, but the court held
that he could not have his pay in gold,
which was only a commodity, and that
greenbacks were the legal tender Of the
country. There being no alternative,
Smith took the greenbacks instead of the
gold which he had lent and which had
been promised him.
Jones, his creditor, after paying him,
lent the Government Of the United States
ten thousand dollars in greenbacks, for
which he received the United States
bonds known as the seven thirties.
Now the question we desire to put is
this: If Jones could justly pay a debt
created with gold with legal tenders, can
he not be paid by the Government in
the same legal tender money which he
lent? Shall the Government make
Smith receive greendacks from Jones,
and yet not pay its own debt to Jones
in the same money ?-Enquirer.

The RESPONSIBILITY FOR TIE AN
DERsoNvILLE PRIsON.-The Washing
ton National Intelligencer, which was al
ways a conservative, war paper, thus al
ludes to the ridiculous falsehood Of the
Radical press, that Jefferson Davis was
responsible for the ill-treatment Of our
prisoners at Andersonville. 1T says:
at was not JEFF. Davis that starved
Union Prisoners but the Government
of Abraham Lincoln. Davis did the
best he could for them in the exhausted
condition of his country, and warned the
Government over and over again that
they were suffering and it could not be
helped. He pleaded for an exchange
man for man, and then for an exchange
of the sick, which he even offered to send
home without any return of Southern
prisoners, but all appeals fell lifeless vp-
on the cold ears Of a heartless Govern
ment. 1t refused to come to the relief
of its own suffering and dying soldiers,
and preferred they should remain in
prison and help to eat out the substance
of the South. These are facts unanswer-
able, damning facts, and they will rise
up in judgment against the revilers Of
the South sooner or later"

We have friend in Detroit who en-

intended for his fathers dinner. or
course the boy had dog. Boy stopped
by the side of a building, set down the
basket, and with a stub of cigar in one
hand lighted a match with the other
After numerous attempts to start the ei-
gar, he was finally successful, and smoke
began to issue out from the boys mouth
about the same time provisions began to
issue from the basket, into the dogs
mouth. Cigar being lighted, boy turn
ed and saw dog just going in for anoth-
er mOuthful. Boy yelled 'git o-u-t P'
and aimed a terrible kick at the dogs
head. The kick missed the dog. but
hit the basket, and contents we're flying
into the street. Having witnessed the
scene quietly thus asked him what he
had lost from the basket He replied
" the old mans dinner" then asked
him what his father would do now for
dinner. Boy said, don't know" I
told him I thought he didn't know much
anyhow. Wall" said he, 81 know
