A Member of LincOln's Cabinet on
Radical Policy.

The Cincinnati Gdzette's specials from
Washington say Gen. MONTGOMERY BLAIR
made a long speech to the Democratic Con-
vention at Annapolis, on Wednesday last.
He congratulated the members upon their
labors in reconstruction, in restoring the
Government of the State to people to
whom it belonged, and correcting the
abuses put upon the State by the miscre-
ants who held the power in Washington.
He then gave series of disclosures
substantially those of BINCKLEY, and
intimating in the broadcast terms
that RIDDLE, HOLT, ASHLEY, Con-
OVER, and STANTON were in plot
against the President. He then charges
that Mr.. STANTON suggested the clause in
the tenure of office bill regarding Cabinet
Ministers, to WILLIAMS, of Pennsylvania,
its author in the House; that afterward in
the Cabinet Mr.. STANTON denounced the
clause as treading on the rights of the Ex-
ecutive; that the President then asked him
to write the veto, and that duty was inn
posed upon Messrs. SEWARD and STANTON.
The whole speech is exactly in the vein of
Mr.. BINCKLEY's discoveries, and excites
much comment in Washington.

Are They Isepudiators =?

The Preble county Republican Conven-
ton for the nomination of County and
Legislative officers, adopted the following
resolution in favor of paying the national
debt in greenbacks:
"That we are in favor of paying the ma
tionol debt in legal-tender notes, to be is.
sued by Congress in sufficient amounts to
enable the people to pay the assessments of
the Government as now levied and speedily
liquidate the debt, believing that such a
policy would stimulate labor, encourage
industry. and develop the resources of the
country"
A Republican correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Eaton,
under date of the 18th instant, says:
That resolution is approved by at least
two-thirds of our people, and it is no use
shutting our eyes to the fact, and what
is more, they are terribly in earnest
about it. '-
Will the Journal inform us if these Re-
publicans are repudiators? This sheet
gives all who favor this plan of paying off
the public debt this title.

oh. What a Game.

The Radical press and orators, perceiv-
ing that there is general stampede from
their ranks, have ceased to discuss the po-
litical issues of the campaign and began to
bray Cop-per-heads, But-ter-nuts, &C., in
order to deter and drive back such as are
disgusted with the Radical policy. This is
an insult to the intelligence of the people.
When party leaders are driven to such dis
reputable means of maintaining an organ
zation, it is about time it was abandoned
and some new dodge resorted to. Let no
man stop to reply to this low political bill
lingsgate; but let our friends rely upon the
live issues of the campaign.
Avoid all personalities that are thrust
upon you for the purpose of avoiding the
issues. Their abuse is harmless. Push on the
glorious work of the presentation of facts,
and we must prevail.

Treatment of Rebel Prisoners at
EImira, N. ".

-
The refusal of the leaders of the Radical
forces in the lower branch of Congress
indeed one branch of that body can be low
er than another-to examine into the treat
ment of rebel prisoners during the war, has
created feeling and a tendency to devel-
opments not at all flattering to those who
had these prisoners in charge. The Ne,c
York World has communication from a
rebel prisoner imprisoned at Elmira, New
York, in 1864, in which the writer shows
that whereas the mortality at Anderson
Vile, from February l to August l, was
less than three per cent, the mortality at
Elmira was four per cent. during the same
period; and that out of nine thou
sand three hundred prisoners exam
11th of September, eighteen hundred and
seventy were found tainted with scurvy.
The correspondent claims to make these
statements from correct copy of the Off
cial record, taken by him day by day.
Whether the record itself, when produced,
will tell different story, remains to be
seen; but it is high time that an official in
I quiry was had into the past conduct of not
only the Elmira but other Federal prisons.

Island, concerning which allegations quite
as direct and damaging as these have fire.
quently been made.
+ The rebel prisoners were badly treated
by heartless scoundrels who had contracts
! to feed them, and by other officials, intent
on making money we have no doubt, and
justice and the good name of the country
demand that they be exposed.

The Political situation

Within the past six days we have con-
versed with gentlemen from all parts of the
State, and in answer to our inquiries the
Assurance is given that, in the great politi-
cal contest, all is well. The good work OF
redeeming Ohio from Negro Suffrage and
Radical rule goes bravely on.
In every county and township there are
good men and true, of the Republican
party, sick of the Negro, and still more so,
if possible, of the high taxation, who have
cast their last vote for party whose great
end seems to be to ''up with the Negro and
down with the White" Ia- eGi
The signs of promise were never better
The great work is being well done, and il
it continues as it has commenced, the ma
jority for THURMAN and against Negro Suf-
frage will be overwhelmingly large.
+. As General JACKSON, in the great contest
of 1874, said to friend, we say to each and
every Democrat, ".Put your own shoulder
to the wheel-pray to God for success
and push on the column"
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-08-21

WHY do they (the Radical press) not
have something to say about those ertrd
LoydL gentlemen about Columbus and else
where who are wallowing in wealth accu-
mulated by furnishing the enemy with
arms, ammunition, clothing and provisions?
Ship loads of those articles were sent from
Canadian ports to ports in Mexico, and
thence across the line to the rebel authori-
ties, and rebel cotton taken in exchange.
Without the laid and comfort" thus fur
nished, the rebellion would have been
crushed two or three years earlier, and
hundreds OF thousands of Union soldiers
saved from misery and death.-PlGtndedle
18th.
If the Plaindealer has any grounds for
such grave insinuations, it should have
courage to mention names. If it can SUBJ
stantiate any of it's innuendoes, it will find
that now, as heretofore, with the Republi-
can press, party affiliation constitutes no
bar to exposure of fraud or villainy.-
j Journal.
Bless US, how ignorant of home matters
the Journal is. If its editor will but step
into the street and hail the first person, man
woman, or child, and ask about the ''Mat-
amoras expedition" he will get full par
ticulars about the manner in which certain
of the most loyal Abolitionists in Columbu:
attempted to give aid and comfort to the
rebel authorities by shipping them articles
contraband of war, in exchange for cotton
The Journals dodge of ignorance in this
case will not pass. Ignorant on most SUBJ
jects, its editor is well informed on this.

WeIcnme tn AM such.

Thousands of Republicans who up to
the present campaign have been acting
with the Radicals, have ignored all past
political differences and are now acting
with us in securing the defeat OF the mon
strosities of the Radical party. Honest in
their principles and convictions, they have
been honorable opponents and engaged in
doing that which, in their opinions, would
best promote the welfare and happiness OF
the people. But so soon as they discovered
the practical effects of Radicalism they
nobly severed all ties of affiliation with
that party and are now aiding us in oul
glorious contest with political foe that
exhibits desperation as wicked as it is un-
becoming. We say welcome to all such
true patriots to our ranks. Our motto is
simply, 'Our Country" and no one car
hesitate that desires the prosperity and
happiness of the people. The cry of Cop
perhead will not deter such from the per-
tormance of their duty. "'', '
Our subscription list has enrolled upon il
many names of whichwe feel proud, and we
assure all such patrons that it will be ouI
constant aim to serve our country well and
to be faithful to the end. Let the good work
go on. Cheering news comes up from every
locality. The consummation OF our efforts
will be Nations redemption. Again, we
bid the Conservative thousands that are
uniting their destinies with ours, hearty
welcome to our councils. Yesterday we
received most gratifying letter from one
of this class, which concluded thus
"Ignoring all past political differences,
will, by the blessing of God, aid you in
rescuing the country from the hands Of
those who will inevitably lead us to final
ruin."7 God bless all such, and prosper
them. fpf' "u 1f 30 -'

Adopted

NELsoNvILLE, O., Aug. 16, 1867.
ED. STATEsMAN-Dedr Sir: Do you con-
slider man dishonorably discharged from
the army included in the disfranchising
clause in the Constitutional Amendment?
Please answer in the WEEKLY.
Yours tnn2Ee CHAS. MARINER.
The DISTINGUISHING clause in the proposed
Constitutional Amendment alone excludes
from the right to vote
''-such persons as have borne arms in
support of any insurrection or rebellion
against the Government of the United
States, or'have fled from their places of
residence to avoid being drafted into the
military service thereof, or have deserted
the military or naval service of said Gov
ernment in time of war, and have not sub
sequently been honorably discharged from
the same"
No matter how great scamp the 'dis-
honorably discharged" soldier may have
been, he and the Negroes can vote; but if
he believed his term Of enlistment expired
after LEE and JOHNSTON surrened, and fail
ed to report,-or, if yielding to the solicit
tation of his mother, or sister, or sweet
heart, he tried to avoid being drafted, if
the amendment passes, he cannot vote, but
the Negro and the man drummed out of
camp as a thief Or a nuisance, and dishon-
orably discharged, can vote the Republic
can ticket, and his vote and a Negroes
count twice as much as that of any one
White man.
