GALIoN, o, Oct, 5, lS6s

GALLON, o., Oct. 5, 1868.
EDITORS STATESMAN A correspondent
of the Ohio State Jonrnal, in an article da-
ted Gallon, Oct. 1st, 1868, charges General
f. P. Blair with being drunk at Gallon.
Justice to Gen. Blair and the Democracy at
large demands a retutation of this vile and
slanderous article. The author, 81. C. c.,
(whose maiden name was Smith, is doing
Gen. Blair and the Democratic party great
injustice, when he descends to the level
of political rowdy, and writes polite al
letter which he knows to be false in toto,
as many Republicans of character and
responsibility will testify. f q -a..
The author of this slanderous article is
looked upon by his own party as disor-
ganizer and a common liar, and has been
repudiated and spit npon by his own party.
and Missed out of Mass Republican Con-
yention which was held in Bucyrus not
long since, by reason of malicious attack
upon Mr.. D. Ristine, an honorable and a
prominent member of the Republican
party. 5 ..
He is without doubt the most penurious
D1QIny GuO parry vi 0dllOQ was
ever cursed with. The only animals that
will associate familiarity with him are the
swine. We learn from those familiar with
his history that up and until the ''author''
arrived at the age of ten years it was a
ouestion, in the mind of his mother, wheth-
or she had sucked a human or brute. The
meeting at Gallon, addressed by General
Blair, was an impromptu meeting and the
largest and best held by either party in
this place during the campaign. The Gen
eral made an excellent speech, which was
well timed and well received. .
The author says several Democrats open
ly said they would vote for Grant and Col
fax after hearing Blair's speech, also "a
prominent physician, whose name can be
had-heard him and repudiated him." By
way of refutation to this false statement of
the loyal. gentleman, L have only to say,
that I have made arrangements with M. v.
Payne, Mayor OF the incorporated village
of Gallon to pay each and every Democrat
who has heretofore acted with the DEM
ocratic party, and will, in consequence of
the speech made by General Blair, vote the
Republican ticket, $50 per vote.

NEW YORK, July lst. 1868,


DEAR SIR:-In your paper of last week
you, or one of your correspondents, say
that DR.. Drake is not the originator of the
celebrated PLANTATION BITTERs, and that
they were Manufactured and sold by one
Pedro Mdrtelle, an old Spaniard, in the Is
land of st. Thomas, over forty years ago,
as every old sea captain can testify. Now,
sir, can certify to the above as being true,
for have followed the sea for over forty
years, most of the time doing business with
the West Indies. These same Bitters, diff
ferently put up and named, were brought
to my notice on my first trip to the Island
of st. Croix for cargo of rum, and for
years and years after, my ships stores were
never without them. I always supplied my
family and many of my neighbors with
them, and can truly say better Bitters
and Tonic is not made in all the world.

In the STATESMAN of yesterday we made
mention of the fact--drawns from us by
scoundrelly carricicature of Gen. FRANK
BLAIR, In the Journal of Tuesday-that the
Cleveland Herald dare not deny the fact as
stated by the Plain Dealer of Gen. GRANT
being overcome by liquor in that city, as
WENDELL PHILLIps says he was in the
streets of another city, within the last nine
months. The Plain Dealer, of Tuesday,
thus repeats Its charge and again calls upon
the Herald to deny il: rsaa sf.szzz
1--WE have asked the Herald, and it has
meyer yet answered, as to whether General
Grant was not drlrnE when he arrived in
Cleyeland, in 1866, with the Presidential.
party. The fact that he was drunk, is
known to hundreds of men in Cleveland.
He was taken to the Detroit boat, and there
put in abcrth and carried to Detroit, where
he was sobered off"

STATE TA zEs.-We learn from one of the Off
GERS of the State that taxes are being paid into
the State Treasury more freely at the present
time than has been the case for many weeks
past. The fact is doubtless attributable to
several Causes, prominent among which is the
recent rise in cotton, which has materially re-
established confidence, unlocked the ware
houses, brought the staple into more general
circulation, and loosened the fountains of trade
which at one time seemed we'll nigh dried up.
Another cause is perhaps to be found in the
late reduction Of taxes by the military authori-
ties, which has induced our merchants and
property-holders to make prompt payment OF
the same, while the depreciation in bills receiV-
able has enabled them to do so with saving
of twenty per cent.
A third, ccd equally potent reason, no doubt,
is that in the frequent sherfs sales, recently re-
corded, whereby in default of the payment OF
few dollars, thousands Of dollars have been
sacrificed under the hammer, lesson in pune
tuality has been taught which, while severe
upon the few, has proved warning to the
MANY. To be Ssold out for taxes, under q
double execution, is not consummation de-
voutly to be wished for by anybody, and the
