Don,t Like ,he Pro.pect.

Congressman GARFIELD. of the Ashta-
bula District, don't like the political pros
pect. He fears the Republican party will
drop the Negro, and he is sick at heart in
consequence. He has written the follow
ing to the Ashtabuia Sentinel:
The Presidential outlook is anything but
pleasing. The current for Grant is irresis-
tible. and If it be not checked or controlled,
it will result in nominating him aoithout
platform or pledge. Indeed some of our
friends are 80 mad as to advocate precisely
that course. I hope that some movement
will compel the party to make solid plat
form for the nominee. There are many half
hearted Republicans. ,oho ,oould drop the ne
grO. If our party shall dare to be so unutterd-
by base as to dbdndon this unfortunate people
nooo. it aoiU deserue and receipe the deepest
political dan,nat,on euer oisited upon men.

Grant In ConnecsIcut.

The Republicans of Connecticut In State
Convention have just declared for Gen.
GRANT for President. As the Republicans
in Congress are determined to make him
Dictator over the South this is all right.
Coupled with this declaration, there is no
declaration in favor of policy that will
give restoration to the Union, and to pros
perity. GEORGE II. PENDLEToN, as tGe tax
payers candidate, will triumph over all
opposition. GRANT was triumphant when
fighting in the field against those who were
fighting to take ten States out of the
Union; but in consenting to lead a party
that strikes those States out of existence,
that destroys the functions of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that robs the
President of the powers conferred upon
him by the Constitution, and that legislates
above and outside of the Constitution, he
must inevitably be defeated.

John G.. Thompson, late Chair
man of the Democratic State
Central Committee.

There is great astOnishment expressed
throughout the State at the supersedure of
John q. Thompson as the Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee by
the new committee, who lately organized
at Columbus. 1t is universally admitted
that Mr.. Thompson has displayed a re-
| markable- aptitude for that position, and
tnat in the industry and efficiency with
| which he has discharged its duties he has
! never had superior in this State. The
Office with him has been no mere honorary
sinecure. He has worked early and late in
attending to its multifarious duties, and to
| the order and system which he introduced
into the canvass, and to his excellent sug-
gestiOns, our triumphs on the legislative
ticket were in great part owing. The
Democracy of Ohio were fortunate in fud-
| ing gentleman who was willing TO devote
| SO much time to the labJrs of the commit
tee-labors for which he received no re-
muperatiOn, except the approval of a good
conscience, which any one who renders
service to the Democracy is expected to
have. Why he should be superseded is, TO
the uninitiated. an inexplicabe political
blunder-a mishap to the organization.
The new Chairman of the Committee, a
sound and faithful Democrat MIR. DUNCAN,
of jackson, does not reside in Columbus,
the central point, where the head of the
Committee, in our Judgment. should always
be, aud from which political influences best
radiate to all parts of the State. The COM
ing campaign is one that will require great
energy upon the part of the organization,
| and we deeply regret that the Demo racy
at this juncture, should be deprived of Mr..
Tbompson's organizing and executive tall
ent and experience in that position.-Cin-
cinndti Enquirer.
We think the new Central Committee
made grave mistake in superceding Mr..
Thompson, just as we are beginning the
great Presidential campaign of 1868. We
believe with the Inquirer that the Chair
| man of the State Central Committee should
reside at Columbus, and though we have
every confidence in the ability of Mr.. Dun
gan, we think the regret is universal that
the Democracy is to be deprived OF the tact
| and experience of Mr.. Thompson in the
position he has so long. so faithfully and
| imDartialIy fiffed-Plain Dealer
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-01-17
A Grave M Ike.

The action of the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee in selecting the gentleman
from Jackson county Chairman of the State
Committee, instead of John G. Thompson,
was grave mistake. Mr.. Thompson is
one of the most efficient workers known
in the whole history of the party in Ohio.
To his efforts and ability are we indebted
for our great victory in 1867, more than to
that OF any other man.. Besides, the posi-
tion should be held by some gentleman re-
siding in the State Capital, as that is the
best point to acquire information of the
state of the canvass and issue orders for
movement of forces. Unless this matter
is rem edied it will be the means of loosing
to our ticket thousands of uotes. We believe
the action of the committee is contrary to
the wishes of the body of the Democracy
of the State.-Cadiz Sentinel

The WAY. 10 Saw 1t.

The Chicago Times, in the following, ex-
presses the determination of the people:
1t is probable that good many Demo-
cratic bondhOlders in New York look with
disfavor upon the proposition to pay their
bonds in currency. but they are fast becom-
ing convinced that the people will sustain
this policy. It is as much for the interests
of all who are not bondholders i'll New
York or New England as OF the same classes
In the western States to pay the bonds in
currency. When the Democratic national
convention shall come tOsether, it will de-
eide this question. The Ohio Democracy
have expressly referred the decision to that
body. The New York Democracy will do
the same.
That Convention, to meet the demands
of the tax payers, will nominate Hon
GEORGE H. PENDLEToN for President of
the United States, and the people will eli ct
him. EFl

ReconstrucsIou.,

I The Radicals for over two years have
been tinkering with Reconstruction. Last
year they passed Reconstruction bill d.
viding the South up into five Military Dis
tricts and providing that they shall be
governed by five Generals. The civil was
made subordinate to the military authority.
This, they claimed, was the perfection of
Reconstruction. They are now about to
pass another Reconstruction bill, the OBJ
ject of which is to create an Imperialism in
the South. It wipes out the State Govern
ment, and puts the whole ten Southern
States under the dictatorship of General
GRANT. Thi is the most internal outrage
yet attempted by Congress.

the respective States may do what they

Safe Blown Open-shoosins Af.i,


The denizens of the little town of Shanes-
vile, Ohio, were thrown into quite an eX-
element yesterday morning by hearing an
explosion in one OF the business houses of
that place. Upon repairing to the spot,
and forcing an entrance, it was discovered
that the safe had been blown open. and
over $5 600 in greeubacks stolen. Three
persons were seen to leave the town soon
after in the direction of Van Vert, which
fact was communicated to the authorities,
aud pursuit given. Upon nearing the latter
town two OF the men were seen, by the per-
son in pursuit, who ordered them to halt,
and Immediately after the pursuer COM
menced to cry for aid, but did not attempt
to arrest them. Taking advantage of his
timidity, the two men ''lit out" in another
direction, and were seen no more in that
vicinity. The pursuer then went into Van
Vert, aud telegraphed the safe affair to va
rious places, describing the two men.
Last evening between aud s O'Clock two
men appeared at the ticket office at Del
phos, aud inquired at what time the first
train lett. the agent, G. L. Higgins. E.q !,

ing the room, when Mr.. H., who by the
way is quite an aged man, Stepped up TO

pray be seatcd-I insist upon it," and at
the same time he'd drbarrea- -tfrcir-exit by
placing his frame between them and the
door. Seeing they were caught, one OF
them drew a revolver and fired at the brave
old man, which, however, did no harm
except to mar the beauty of the ceiling
OF the station house. The desperate
fellow had not time to five a Sec
ond time, for ere the smoke had cleared
away from the muzzle OF the pistol, the old
man grappled them both, but in the melee
one of them escaped. The man doing the
shooting was held in the arms of Mr.. H. as
though he were fast in a vice, and handed
over to the municipal authorities at that
place. Considerable excitement prevailed
in DelphOs, on account of the shooting, as
Mr.. FL. is one of the most prominent men
of the place, and respected by the commu-
nifty. We are glad TO say that good COM
mon sense was used.-Fort Woyne Demo
