age in quantity. A full yield is one thou
sand million bushels. The crop of 1867 was
about one-fourth less than this amount,

THE Cincinnati Chronicle takes us to task
because it says 1.-THE OHIO STATESMAN re-
joices over the destruction OF one of the de-
lenses of New York harbor, built by the
National Government,arid named in honor
# General LAFAYETTE"
We rejoiced, because during the war,
without warrant of law, without crime, and
Sitheut trial, American citizens were
eized and forcibly taken from their homes
and incarcerated within its walls. We re-
joiced at its destruction, as the liberty low
ers of the world, with LAFAYETTE at their
head, ,rejoiced when the French Bastile was
demolished. "If rebuilt"-we use the Ian
'guage of the article on which the Chronicle
&c )mments-"it will stand as monument
OF infamy to those, who, by their despotic
acts, brought SO foul a stain on the honor OF
the country"
The Chronicle wishes these abygones to be
bygones." So say we, but the wish cannot
be. The false imprisonment of American
citizens at Fort Lafayette, coupled with the
infamy of STANTON and SEWARD will have
their place in history, and form the foulest
blot on our national escutcheon.
