DEATH OF HON. DAVID TOD.

1t is with no feigned feeling oil
sadness that we record the death OF
the statesman whose name heads
these lines. Perhaps the demise OF
no other public man in our State viii
he as universally lamented. His
name had become a household WORD
in almost every school district. A
truer, more loyal heart never beat In
uuison with the cause OF progress
and human liberty. Among his
many virtues none were more prom
inent than his love of country. Since
the death of the lamented Lincoln
we doubt whether the hearts OF the
people have been so much stirred
within them as when the wires flash
ed over the length and breadth OF
the State the short but sad message
"David Tod is no more" Nor will
his loss be felt among the people oi
his State alone. His fame as pat
riotand honest man had gone through

funeral, which took place last Sab

BEN. WADE IN THE CABINET.

The Washington correspondent
ot the New York Tribune gives the
gossip in regard to Senator
chances for the Cabinet:
Now let me give you an item Of
interest to Ohio politicians. l was
told to-day, by a gentleman whose
opportunities are first class, that
Ben. Wade acil be tie Cabinet mem
Der from Ohio. 1t seems there is a
usage that the Vice President shall
name one member of the Cabinet
The story goes that General Grant
has notified Colfax that this usage
will be maintained by the incoming
administration. That Colfax, who is
mot SO severely reticent as Grant,
has s'let OUT his intention to name
Wade. This statement is supported
by the following presumptive evi-
ience: That Wade was Colfax's
leading opponent in the Chicago
Convention, and it would be polite
and graceful for Colfax to name him
on that account. Colfax knows bet
ter than most men when and how TO
do polite and graceful things. Sec
ondly, Wade is now acting Vice
President. Nextly. He IS about
retiring from eighteen sears service
in the United States Senate. Both
of which give him eclat and promi-
nence as Cabinet candidate. Last
ly, named against him: His qualiii-
cations are not Of the peculiar sort
which are supposed to make good
Cabinet furniture, and he is ColfaX' s
uncle ia fxt,uo. Rejoinder, that he
was taken from the bench twas he I

Illegal knowledge TO be Attorney Gen

dent is no disqualification. Besides

upon the life and services of ex-GOv.
Tod, makes the following Just re-
marks:
"Gov. Tod had enjoyed but limit.

was a man of great refinement and
elevation of character. His fortune,
which was large, was the fruit of
his own talent and industry {;
and he used it with taste and liberali,
ty. His personal beauty was re-
markable; his head bore a striking
resemblance to that of Napoleon
His bearing was at once full of dignity
and kindness, and a vein of racy hu-
NOR lent an uncommon charm to his
conversation. Had he been less averse
to active exertion, he would have held
a high place among the statesmen OF
the country.
