Change of Tune,

1t is amusing-and alarming, in
view of truth and justice-to note
the shifts and expedients to which
democratic editors will resort to give
character and vitality to their corrupt
and dead organization. Truth, de-
cency, logic and sense, are all ig-
nored, in their discussions of politi-.
cal matters and persons, and resort
had only to deceit, falsebood, preju-
dice, and all the other baser passions
of the soul. No one who is an in
telligent reader of the politics of the
day, and understands fully the his
tory Of the past, will deny this propo-
sition. He, therefore, who reads and
quotes the democratic literature of
the present day, in proof Of any po-
litical proposition or question, shows
his utter ignorance of such things,
and his unfitness for their discussion.
These remarks are called out by
seeing in the last Dispatch an article
charging Gen. GRANT with being re-
sponsible for the starvation of our
prisoners at Andersonville. Last
year this act was charged, by the
same sheet, against STANToN-now it
is GRANT. Mr.. STANTON has retired
from official position. while Gen.
GRANT has become the head of the
Union column, therefore the change
in the charge. Political capital Is
what they want, and they manufac-
ture it to suit the times.
To show the change, and the per-
fidy of the whole thing, we make an
extract or two. The last Dispatch
says:
1t has been proved to the satisfac
ton of every honest man, upon Re-
publican testimony too, that the real
culprit, the guilty author of the un-
told horrors of Andersenville, Libby
and Belle Isle, is no less a person
than the unfeeling, soldier starver
GRANT, the candidate OF the mongrel
party for the Presidency. y
81 know it is hard ON our boys not to
exchange them, bu. if we exchange
sleek, fat rebels for these lean. pros
trated sick and dying Union soldiers,
we will have to fight always"
That is the charge now. What
was it a year ago, when STANTON was
in office, and Gen. GRANT stood not
in the way of their hellish purposes
We quote from the same sheet of
June 14th, 1867, to-wit:
He knew the reason We denounced
E. M. Stanton as an inhuman fiend
was, that he is guilty, and will be so
pronounced by history, of the death
of thousands of our brave men, by
refusing them deliversnce in their
sore need, and with a brutality and
fendishness unparalleled, declaring
he would not exchange "fat sleek
rebels, for skeletons"
1t will be seen that, though the
words are somewhat different, which
the editor puts into the mouths Of the
two, still the thought-the sentiment
lis the same. And this is the way
they meet their opponents! If the
readers of the Dispatch have no more
intelligence than to be deceived by
such deceit and falsehood, then, in
deed, they are objects of pity.

Business Matters.

The New York papers are predicting
an early and good fall trade, and the
indications are that this expectation
will be realized. The first movement
in this direction must be a distribution
of the surplus money of the country
which has accumulated in New York.
This is now beginning. Evidence of it
is to be found in the rates of exchange
Next it will be seen in the New York
bank statements. Usually exchange is
at premium in this city at this period
of the year, resulting from the semi
annual settlement of mercantile ac-
counts, and the payment of interest on
State, county, city and railroad bonds.
Now, however, it is at discount of
1-1O per cent, and many of our bankers
are ordering currency from New York,
and at the same time sending currency
into the interior. At Chicago it is also
at a discount of SOC per s. 900, and
the papers report orders from the coun-
try for currency to msve the incoming
wheat crop.
Referring back several years, this,
as already remarked, will be found to
be an unusual occurrence.
The wool crop has already furnished
large amount of exchange, and next
we shall have heavy wheat crop;
which, owing to light stocks in all the
markets, and high prices prevailing,
will be moved freely and early. The
flow of currency westward, which has
begun, must continue for some time to
come, and this money, the want of
which among the people has caused
stagnation in business, will soon be felt
in the channels of trade-Cin. Gazette.

E We have another Ku Klu1
outrage and murder in Kentucky. A
dispatch from Clarksville, Tenn.
dated July Sd, to the Cincinnati
Gazette. says:
VIM. Pierce, formerly soldier in
the federal army, was taken from his
home near Oak Grove, KY, last night
by a party of men closely masked.
and this morning his dead body was
found short distance away, riddled
with bullets.
Union soldiers, says the Gazette,
are considered good enough to vote
democratic tickets at the North, but
not good enough to live where the
rebel branch Of that party has con-
troll.

~Some people think that demo

~Some people think that demo
cratic literature here at home is worse
than anywhere else. But it is very
similar wherever you find it. Dem
ecratic editors all read "Brlck Pom
eroy," and make him their copy.
Here Is specimen OF democratic
style and language, copied from the
Pomeroy Banner. In speaking OF
Gov. Seymour's financial policy, it
says
"If the 4th of July convention ex-
poets to make that kind of plat
form for the Democratic party and
put Governor Seymour upon it as a
candidate, they can take platform,
candidate and all and 60 to HI with
it. The Western Democracy would
not support Jesus Christ on such a
platform as that
We think that is equal to the best
that the Dispatch can produce. Then
we have another specimen from the
Georgetown Neacs. 1t says:
"They want Mckee in Congress,
because he has proved himself to be
as dirty dog and contemplate
puppy as any of the members--a fit
spirit of mutual corruption and
lackeying to the iufdel, blasphemous
and devilish Stevens, Chambers,
Schencks & Co."
We could multiply these specimens
of democratic literature, but these
will suffice to show that our neighbor
is not alone in his impiety and vul-
garity.
We notice this matter for two rea-
sons. First-to show that democra-
cy is the same everywhere, as its
friends claim. And second-to show
that we are not blessed, in this respect,
beyond our neighbors.

Dedication at Centerville.

On Sabbath, July 5th, our neat and
commodious Church in Centeryille,
Gallia county, Ohio, was dedicated by
chaplain McCABE and Rev. l.. Gun
NINGHAM. Rev. H. Z. ADAMS was also
with us Sabbath night. This region
of country is the Wales of America.
For about half century the tide OF
emigration from Wales has been pour
ing into this place till some neighbor-
hoods are more Welsh than Wales
itself The Welsh are remarkable for
an ardent attachment to the language
and habits of their fathers, love of
song, and love of freedom. They are
intensely loyal to their adopted country.
Take them as body they are the best
class of foreigners with whom | have
become acquainted. From the aged
grand sire to the infant in its mother s
arms, they all attend church and Sun
day school. They are strict in observ-
ing the Sabbath, and liberal in build
ing churches and supporting their
ministers. Though they have houses
of their own in which to worship, many
of them have afforded us substantial
assistance in our struggle to build our
house. The people of Centerville and
vicinity will long cherish the memory
and brief acquaintance Of Chaplain
McCABE and Rev. LEVI CUNNINGHAM,
and will feel in all time that they owe
them a debt of gratitude for their eff
cient services in removing the indebt-
edness of their church. We were-sorry
to part with them so soon. But the
days Of painful partings among chris
tians are few. So then,
''Flood the heart with parting tears,
Frost the head with passing years,
Mingle want and woe together here;
But the lord will lift the cloud,
That enwraps the shining crowd,
And we'll never know sorrow there"
