Thurman's Popularity South.


A veteran soldier of the 73d Ohio Reg
iment related in our hearing, few days
ago, an incident that occurred on the
campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
He says that while his regiment rested
for few minutes ut Etowah, In Georgia,
he had some conversation with rebel
lady. Her first inquiry was about Judge
Thurman, of Columbus, Ohio, the pres
ent candidate of the Copperhead DEM
ocracy for Governor. The lady was out
spoken i'm her praise of the Judge and
his family. She sald that the Confeder-
acy had one friend in Ohio, at least, tried
and true, In the person of Judge Thur
man. She said that she had son then
prisoner of war at Camp Chase, who
always spoke in the highest terms of
praise of the conduct of the Judge and
his family toward him and his associate
prisoners of war. Was ever mother of
sick or wounded Union soldier confined
in the hospitals about Columbus known
to bear testimony to the acts of charity
of Judge Thurman and his familyT We
guess not.

The success OF the Republican party
in Tennessee possesses far more impor-
tance than usually attaches to State
election. The most interesting fact con-
neeted with this election is that it was
the first held where the negroes partic-
ipated equally with the whites. a change
so great, and in a State with 50 many
turbulent elements as Tennessee, would
necessarily be attended by excitement
and some violence. But there has been
less of this than was predicted-less by
far than the opponents offree suffrage and
supporters of the old slave system in
tended there should he. 1t Is even stated
that, in spite of the bloody prognosti-
cations, the election was one of the quiet
est ever witnessed i'm the State. A crisis
has thus been passed, in view Of which
good men everywhere felt no little un-
easiness. Had riot and bloodshed been
the order of the day in Tennessee
the opposition succeeded in producing
anarchy there, the influence would have
extended to every other Southern State,
and the future would have had another
cloud raised before it.
Not only for the Order-loving qualities
of the colored population have we many
reasons to he thankful, but theiY devotion
to theprinciples of the Republican party
| which never wavered. 1t Is true, and
we are glad il is true, as arace they went
not all that way; some supported the
Democratic candidates., Just as some OF
them had been on the side of the rebel
lion. A great majority of the colored
men of Tennessee adhered firmly to the
cause thatgave them freedom and suf
| frage and, as q consequence, on the very
first trial of negro suffrage in the South
we have one of the largest and most in
fluential Southern States rolling up 6
strong and reliable. e.Republican majority
The influence on the South of such {
result will be immediate and positive
1t virtually defines what will be the re
suit In most If not all the other Southern
States, and permanently foreshadow
the politics of the country for years +,
come. From this prospect Democrats
are entitled to draw what conclusion the,
can. They have driven the negro int
the Republican ranks, and the penalt,

THE Democratic editors are attempt
ing to make their readers believe that
Deacon Gray, whose unanswerable ex-
coriation Of Judge Thurman as O rebel
sympathizer during the war we publish
ed two weeks ago. Is "such a notorious
and habitualll liar that no body pays much
attention to what he says" There is
scarcely Democratic paper in the State
Of Ohio that has not been engaged, every
week since the Deacon's speech was pub
lished, in labored effort to counteract
its damaginginfuence against their Can
didate for Governor. Why do they
spend 30 much time on the Deacon, if he
is such liar? The fact is Mr.. Gray was
Commissary of Prisoners at Camp Chase
during part of the war, and knows all
about the sympathy of the Judge and his
wife for the rebel prisoners; aud having
the duty Of examining the letters sent
from the South to these rebel prisoners,
he Is fully posted as to the light IN which
this Democratic high priest was known
by those rebels.
II the Deacon has lied on their candi.
date, 1t would be u very easy matter to
show 1t; but these Democratic friends OF
the Judge do not attempt to contradict
anything he has said about him. They
content themselves with abusing the
Deacon, instead of vindicating theil
candidate.

THE COLUMBUS
WQQlRn Manufacturing CO.

A MONG the enterprises in our State richly
IA deserving announcement and patronage IL
that Of the Columbus Woolen Manufacturing
Company. This Company was organized in
1851, when a large and substantial brick manu-
factory was erected at the foot OF Mound Street,
lust across the canal bridge. The capital stock
was ut first $4,000. II has been gradually in
creased, and is at present $4,000. o.. ..
For the last five or six years the Manufacturing

To give some idea of the amount of business
done In the Manufactory, 1t uses up annually
about 10000 pounds Of raw WOOL and makes
1900 yards of cloth annually. The goods manu-
factured are purely of wool, and consist prin-
cipally of plain and fancy cassimeres, doeskins,
satinets, plain and plaid fiannels, blankets and
stocking yarns. These are sold at wholesale or
retail at the Office in the Mandatory.
There are in the Mandatory sets OF ma

is fifty-six about one-half of whom are females.
The wool used is principally procured in Ohio,
some is brought from Indiana, but none from
the East. The enterprise is, in all respects strict
ly n Western one.
AS such, and especially as home enterprise.
while the qualities of its goods are superior for
wear and durability to those manufactured in
the East, for this conclusive reason--that they
are wholly free from cotton or shoddy. So
thought and so judged the committee on manu-
factured woolen goods at the recent State Fair,
for they awarded seven out of the nine premi-
ums offered on such goods to the Columbus
Woolen Manufacturing Company.

COOL READING FOR "DOG DAYS"

Jan. %, 1861, was held the famous DEM
ocratic State Convention at Columbus, at
which Allen G.. Thurman, the present
Copperhead candidate for orGovernor-who
labored in the interest of the Rebels dur
ing tho war-wrote the following resolu-
ton:
10th Resolution, That the two hundred thou
sand Democrats OF Ohio send to the people ofthe
United Stetes both North and South, greeting;
and when the people ofthe North shall have full
1led their duties TO the Constitution and the
Souat-thsn, and not until then win 1t be proper
for them to take into consideration the doctrine
OF the right of the coercion OF State; and then,
and not until then, should they attempt to put
down the alleged right of secession by the allcg-
cd right of coercion"
This resolution was adopted, being sup
ported in speech by Thurman, In which
he said:
"a man is deficient In understanding, who
thinks the cause OF disunion In that the South
apprehend any overt net OF oppression In Lin
coins administration. tits the spirit of the late
Presidential contest that alarms the South.
II would try the ethics Of any man to deny
that some OF the Southern States have no cause
for revolution.
Then You must bo sure you are abr TO coerce
before you begin 20 work. The South are brave
people. The Southern States cannot be held by
force. The blacks wont night for the Invaders. .
Tho Hungarians had less cause of com plaint
against Austria, than the South had against the
North"
This Ia enough for ono "sitting."

The amount returned In 1866 was $442, :
SCI. .37S--an increase OF $l94 ,0Ss. If
we add to this S23, 753, ,241, the increase In
the value Of real estate for new buildings
erected during those six years, the i'm
crease In value, ms returned for taxation,
amounts TO $2l7, ,oO0, ,329--which is snearly
exal to the entire amount of personal
property In the State returned for tax
alton in lS60 and it will be observed
that there Is nothing added for the i'm
crease value Of lands during that period,
for there has been no appraisement of
them since 1859. Here, then, we have
the people of single State, during a
period of six years, accommodating wealth
80 rapidly that they are able to invest
S102, ,369, ,1si In non-tax-paying bonds,
and yet accumulate, under low ap-
praisement for taxation, $217, 500, 800
making an aggregate accumulation Of
$500, ,275 ,513, sum equal to nearly one
eighth Of the entire amount of the ma
tional debt contracted during that period
for the overthrow of the Democratic re-
bellion. This is an approximately cor
rect statement, II, as the Democrats say,
these U. s. Bonds pay no taxes but that
q not practically true, for the $20,6l0,-
40 worth held by Banks and deposited
with U. 8. Treasurer as security for the
issues Of these Banks, are really repre-
seuted upon the tax duplicate as the
capitol stock Of these Banks, and are,
therefore, taxed, and perhaps 500, ,OOO, 900
Of bonds held in the State by individuals
are represented upon the tax duplicate
IN the shape of stocks of corporations
and companies. This would reduce the
actual increase to s299, ,765,O14. The per-
sonal property of the State is assessed for
taxation very much below its cash value,
and is worth, no doubt, more in gold
than it is appraised at but if we con-
cede that 1t is valued at its true selling
price, and reduce it to its gold value, we
would still find OIL increase of over $780,
O0O. 900.

1t that Democratic editors and orators
