A SINGULAR CLAIM.-It viii be remembered
that Secretary McCulloch, some weeks ago, re-
ceived a package containing $4,000 greater
portion of which was in 7-30 bonds, with the
numbers cut out, and the remainder in national
currency. No letter or signature accompanied
the money. but the envelope was post marked
Urbaua, Ohio. The money was placed 20 the
credit of the conscience fund, there being moth
ing to show from whom it came, and she fact
that the numbers were cut out of the bonds
proved that the former owner of them did not
want TO be known On Wednesday last letter
was received from party in Wisconsin, the
post mark being Honey Creek The writer
claimed that he sent the money TO be converted
into other securities, such as the Secretary
might think proper to send, and gave as his
reason for sending no communication or sigma
ture with the money that he was very sick at
the time. and not able to write. The officers
of the Treasury are Of the opinion that the
letter is from some party who saw the publica-
ton that $l9, 900 had been received, and thinks
he can claim the same Detectives Of the l'rea-
sury will look into the matter Wash. Star,

There is more in this attack on Col. SEN-
TER than meets the eye, for it is a covert
attack on Gov. Cox, that gentleman being
lashed over the shoulders of SENrER.
No man of his party has been warmer
admirer OF the policy of President j JOHNSON
than Gov. Cox, and none expressed him.
self more freely, until he found that by so
doing, he was giving umbrage to his Radi-
cal associates. In the distribution of Of
fees in Ohio, Gov.zGox was all powerful
with JOHNSON, and the JOHNSON men in
the Republican ranks are ready to claim
that the denomination of Gov Cox must be
taken as an endorsement of the President
who Swings round the circle" The Leader
does not strike Gov. Cox fair blow in the
face, but does it indirectly by attacking his
friend SENrER. Had Gov. Cox, in the dis
tribution of Federal offices in Ohio, retain
ed the editor of the Leader in the Cleve-
land Post-office. this cowardiy attack would
not have been made. t'Hl.i 90 7t.i.if 4

Not at all Improbable.

We have heard it suggested that in part
payment for stumping Ohio, the famed
VIM. H. GIBSON will demand renomina-
ton as Treasurer of State, in order to ena-
BILE him to serve out the term for which he
was originally elected. No doubt he thinks
that he has as much right to filch $sOO,OOO
from the Treasury, as the present Board of
Fund Commissioners have to take the same
amount from the Soldiers Relief Fund
without warrant of constitutional law.
If GIBSON really enters the field, as there
is such fitness in his selection, he will
drive everything before him. In case OF
his election, Quartermaster HURT, late OF
the Ohio State Journal, will doubtless be
Chief Clerk and Deputy Treasurer.

Hon. T. G. Peters, formerly of Wyoming
county, buf now resident of Marylan Is
a corresponding editor of that widely cir
culated journal the Rural Nelo Yorker He
has recently made an extended tour through
the South, the distance travelled amounting
to some two thousand miles, aud. the last
number of the Rural contained letter from
him giving the impressions gained upon his
tour. From the letter we make the follow
ing extracts: z..isrtsrz.,L .--..... f..-.f.--
The sudden abolition of slavery has been
most unfortunate IN many of its results
upon the blacks. They are the prey to all
kinds of sharpers, and are wandering about
the country by countless thousands. A
large demand has sprung up, especially in
the Carolinas, for laborers to go, to Texas
and Arkansas Much larger wages can be
paid there, and it is not uncommon to see
agents picking up all the best hands to
start plantations there. One agent filled
his complement by promising that in Texas
every negro might go to work on Mus
tang pony, his wife behind him, and gun
for himself before. ,t r. s..,..li IA
Infanticide has been equal to anything
we have ever read of China or India
Through my whole journey saw but two
infants, or, indeed, hardly any children
from two years and under, And, if possi-
BILE, that is not the worst feature, for very
few live children are born now. The black
women have long possessed the knowledge
of harmless common vegetable which, in
decoction, will produce abortion. While
slaves they are watched, and its use pre-
vented; but being freed from these re-
straints they are fast leaping into barbar-
ism, and as a general thing shirk the
responsibilities of maternity. 1t Is a hor-
rid state of things, and will rapidly reduce
the number of blacks in the South, and will
continue until they become fixed people.
1t seems to Inc that rapid extermination
will go on till their numbers equal the de-
mand which the superior race will have for
their services, and that will not exceed one
quarter what the number now is.
To show how rapidly the natural barba-
riSm of his nature developes itself in the
negro, when left to his instincts, single
fact among a number that came to my
knowledge, will suffice. A man and his
wife called upon planter in South Caroli-
ma, this last winter, to hire out. He en-
| ployed the man, but as the woman had
three little children, he did not feel able
| to employ her, as he could not furnish
room for her to live in. About a month
after he was surprised at her calling again
for work, but on telling her that he could
not employ women who had children, she
very coOlly informed him that her children
had all took sick and gone clean dead.''
Tens of thousands of children have per-
tshed the past year because their mothers
| found them an incumbrance. t .-
We make no comment on this, but mere
| ly state the fact that the writer of the fore
going, and the editor the paper for which
1t is written are both Republicans.-Mays-

The Cleveland Herald, rabid Abolition
sheet, has the following: 75-ls
"We believe that South Carolina. and
others of the former slave States, will be
negro States, and under the control of the
blacks; and that such whites as are unwil-
ling to live under the rule of a negro ma
jority will leave the field to their sable vic
| tors"
The South is to be given over to the
blacks and If white men do not like to be
ruled by negroes, they can leave. Such is
the working of the Radical policy, which
seeks to give negro voting to Ohio, in order
that in time they can rule this State as well
| as the South, leaving to those who do not
like negro ruler, like SoLEQUE, the black
Emperor of Hayti, with his Dukes of LEM
oNADE and .MARMALADE, they can leave the
land of their fathers and go hence.
Suppose now we reverse the Herdld's doc
trine. The negroes of Ohio are dissatisfied
because they cannot have the right of suf-
frage. Will the Herald join us in advising
them to leave and go to Liberia or st. Do
mingo? or is it alone the dissatisfied whites
that must leave the field to their sable vie
tors? 'a-'t I ..
This same Cleveland Herald is so great al
admirer of the negro race, that it declared
few years since, that three-fourths o
the, negroes-not the half-breeds, but tht
regular "woolly heads"-had more talen
than the mass of the Irish who held to th'
Catholic faith and acknowledged the Pop
as the head Of their Church. Such fellow
would never be dissatisfied with negro rule
