Gen. MEADE's administration
of affairs in Georgia is as pop
ular with the loyal people as
was that of his predecessor.-
Mr.. JOHNSON is in trouble. Ills
military appointments are not
of the class that pays. Not
withstanding he holds a po-
sition in. which he virtually
has. the power OF preferment
to officers of the army ana
uses it to carry out "my POI
icy" he has sought in vain for
such as he could use to further
his own purpose. It's a source
of pride to us to see this spirit
in the army. These men who
won their reputation at the
cannon's mouth are not of the
class that courts advancement
at the cost of the principles
they carved into living real
ity with their swords; and with
one poor, single exception they
prefer a plain obedience to law
and duty, and the smiles of the
people to the doubtful praise OF
a corrupt Executive. This gives
us renewed confidence in our
army. We feel that it can
never be led from its devotion
to the country by the oily
tongues of bad men.

THE examination of the war
debts due the States from the
Government shows there is
$500,O00 yet due Ohio, and Of
this amount 100000 will be
paid. A million and a half is
due Kentucky, of which about
IS per cent. will be allowed
The whole sum advanced by
the States ON the account was
forty millions, and thirty-one
millions have been paid. There
is yet due about nine millions,
and the Government estimates
that about five or six millions
of this amount will be adjust
ed. The balance will be re-
jected.

Governor SWAMI, of Mary
land, in his Message to the
Legislature, complains that
Secretary Stanton refused to
supply the rebel militia of that
state with arms, and stated
that Gen. Grant was equally
accommodating. We do not
know of anything that either
Stanton or Grant has done, in
these many years, to please the
disloyal elements of Maryland
or any other State, and it is
pretty certain they will not
soon do anything in that line.

SECRETARY STANTON has been
re-instated by the Senate, and
now occupies the War Office,
much to the disgust of the DEM
ocrats. They blame Gen. GRANT
for turning the office over to
him as much as some of our hot
headed Republicans did for his
accepting the position in the
first place, but we are sure it
can only give pleasure to the
grea t mass of our people to
know that we have at least one
officer in Washington who can
not be controlled bypoliticians,
and who believes that he. serves
his country best when he obeys
it. laws. -'- s'' ~|

The Legislature Of Kentucky
has passed. a law making the
crime of rape punishable by
death where a white woman
is the plaintiff. An amend
ment to strike out the word
white was lost. So it appears
that Kentucky lives under and
re-asserts in her laws the Dred
Scott decision-that a negro
has no rights a white man is
bound to respect-and forever
gives the lie to the Democratic
argument that the whites Of the
South are imbued with such
love for the blacks that they
may safely be trusted with the
supreme power to legislate for
them.

The Richmond Examiner has
a sympathizing letter from ga
Michigan Copperhead," who
certifes that he is now exempt
from military duty, but ready
to take up arms against Radi-
calism. But the ugly fact that
he and his crowd didn't take
up arms for the Rebellion
when they had a chance, stares
him in the face, and here is
his explanation of it:
"Could you travel through
different Northern States as |
have done for the past five
years, you would be fully sat-
isfied that there are tens, yea,
l may say hundreds Of thous-
ands of the Democracy of the
North whose opposition to Rad
ical revolution is deeper seated
than any other political feel
ing. 1t may be asked, why
did they not openly take up
arms against Radical revolu.
ton? To this it may be answer
ed that the mismanagement OF
the Government was in the
hands of those Jacobins, and
they (the Democrats), }, not in
apparent personal danger, had
too much confidence in the
pretended honor Of their enc.
mics, and did not discover
their error with, of course the
exception of more observing)
till the shackles were upon
their hands and feet. And
when l state my own case l
only represent that of tens of
thousands of others like-mind-
ed, that the happiest reflection
OF my past life since the 'bru-
tai war began is, that | never
gave one cent for the payment
of the mercenary war beyond
what was extorted by the bo-
gus Congress of the United
C!!) States in the form of
taxes"

CAPT. JONES' of the Senate,
and Hon. A. ]. SWAIN, Of the
House, were at home a few
days during the past week.
Capt. j. brings no further
news with him regarding the
contest than what we have re-
ceived through the daily pa
pers. The case has been re-
ferred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, which
is made up of five Democrats
and two Republicans. Our
knowing Democrats hereabouts
boast that the committee was
formed thus to show us Repub-
licans that the Democracy In
tend to act justly by their op-
ponents, without regard to par
tisan feeling. We take it that
it is plan to oust Capt JONES
from his seat in the Senate to
which no Democrat in these
parts has the eifrontery to deny
he was fairly elected.
On the other hand, Capt. j.
says he has confidence in the
Committee and in the Senate;
that he will have a show Of
fairness. We fear it will be
only an "empty show" The
Democracy want another Sen
ator, and from what we have
seen, we think they will not
hesitate to oust Capt. j., not on
the case, but on his politics.
His expression of confidence
in the Senate surprises us a
little, and yet we hope he may
be right.
We copy the following from
the Cincinnati Gazette Of the
18th:
"The Senate Committee had
under consideration, this after
noon, the case of Onderdonk
VS.. Jones, but came to no de-
cision. 1t will undoubtedly
recommend the ousting Of
Jones, as the Democracy are
exceedingly anxious, as they
we'll mightbe, TO secure another
vote in the Senate. 1t was The
desire of some members of the
Committee, to push the case !
through this afternoon, without
allowing Jones an opportunity |
to procure proper counsel. The
Democrats have three lawyers |
on the Committee, while the
Republicans have none. Judge .
Thurman is Onderdonk's at
torney, while Mr.. Jones will
probably be represented, at
the next meeting Of the Com
mittee by Attorney General
West"

We have received the Demo

The Democracy Chilled.

Tue effect which Thurman's
election as Senator will have
on the rank and file of the De-
mocracy, is foreshadowed in
the following article in The
Dayton Ledger of Monday, the
18Th inst:
"The Legislative caucus met
Saturday evening and organ
lied, by electing II. j. Jewett
permanent Chairman. No vote
was taken on the question Of
Senator, but Mr.. Vallandig-
hams friends are confident OF
success. 1t is believed that
enough votes are pledged to
secure his nomination. In
this connection we may state
that we are constantly receiv-
ing letters from all parts of
the State, deploring the lack
of nerve manifested by so many
Democrats in refusing to sup
port Mr.. Y. While there is no
question that, in a b ility,
integrity and sound Demo-
cratic principle, Judge Thur
man is we'll qualified for Sena-
tor, and would fill the office
with credit to himself and the
State, it is also true that the
defeat of Mr.. Vallandigham
would be received by the mas
es as the defeat OF the Demo
cratic party. The masses have
set their hearts on seeing Mr..
Y. Senator, and the election Of
any other man will, undoubt-
edly, have the effect Of chilling
their ardor. We trust such a
result may be avoided by ac-
ton of the caucus tonight"

Tbad. Stevens on Suffrage.

Ihad. stevens on SuIIraSe'
In a recent letter, Thaddeus
Stevens says:
$50 far as i took any position
with regard to negro suffrage,
it was and is that universal
suffrage is an inaleniable right,
and that since the amendments
to the Constitution, to deprive
the negroes of it would be a
violation of the Constitution
as we'll as Of a natural right.
True, l deemed the fastening
of the bestowal of that fran
chise as very essential to the
welfare of the nation, because
without il | believe that the
Government will pass into the
hands of rebels and their
friens, and that such an event
would be disastrous to the whole
country. With universal suff,
rage | believe the true men of
the nation can maintain their
position. Without it, whether
that suffrage be impartial, or
in any way qualified. l look
upon this Republic as likely to
relapse into an oligarchy,
which will be ruled by coarse
copperheadism and proud con-
servatism. | have never insist
ed that the franchise should
be unjustly regulated so as to
secure a Republican ascendan-
cy; but l have insisted, and do
insist, there can be no unjust
regulation of that franchise
which will give to any other
party the power, if the Repub-
licans are true to themselves,
and do not fall into their usual
vice of cowardice. The Re-
publicans, once beaten into a
minority by the force of negro
prejudice, will never again OBJ.

will become a despotiSm."

THE building Of the railroad
from Hamden to Gallipolis is
announced as "fiXed fact"-
the citizens of Gallia county
having raised S275,0O0, neces-
sary to this end. 1t will be a
branch Of the Marietta and

work is to be pushed forward
Immediately. The line strikes
the Ohio River at Camp aign
creek, six miles above CALI
polls, thence down the river
bottom. Two miles below the
mouth of Campaign is the
mouth of the Big Kanawha, so
that the connection will be
close with the Chesapeake and

The kind of men the Demo
Gratis are getting into the reve'
nue. service, to steal the money
of the people, is indicated by
the following, which we clip
from the Chicago Tribune:
With the class of appoint
ments which Johnson and Nc
Cullough have made, how is it
possible to have the revenue
honestly collected! One of
the special revenue agents in
this city is a "Knight of the
Golden Circle" or "Son of Lib
erty." Daring the war he was
an active leader among the
"Kinghts" in this city, who met
to plot treason in an upper
story of McCOrmick's building.
He was engaged in the plot to
liberate the Camp Douglas
prisoners and burn and plum
der the city. He advocated
assassination of those opposed
to the rebellion, and wanted
to have a fire in the rear open
ed on the Union army. When
some of these things began to
leak cut he fled from the city;
but, in the course of a year or
two, he sneaked back to Chi.
cago, and is now rewarded by
"Moses" with revenue agen-
cy. This is the class of chaps
who are being appointed by
the regime to collect revenue,
and keep it, as a reward for
their past and present Cop
perhead services. ...

Insert The Word "White."

AhoCib AhC NOAo 'hhsS'
The Ohio State Journal says:
"Nineteen members of the
Ohio Senate have gone into
the white-washing business
They are seized with sudden
mania for inserting the word
white. Every law and resolu-
ton passed since 1902, must
be amended by the insertion
of "white" at the beginning,
middle or end thereof. The
Ser. ate yesterday by a vote OF
II to i, 8 concurred in the House
amendment TO insert the word
"white" before "military COM
ranies" in the joint resolution
concerning the Inauguration
ceremonies. Colo.red soldiers,
it seems, can pay taxes to sup
port our Government, but at
times when no blood is't>1 be
spilled and no danger to be ap-
pretended, they are not want
ed. How generous, how phi.
lanthropic, how chivalrous this
is! They can bare their breasts
to the storm of battle, they can
toll and struggle for three long
years in swamps and trenches
to defend our homes and chill
dren, but cannot even witness
the peaceful ceremonies Incl
dent to a change of Govern
ors!
This is equal and exact JUS

The Augusta, Ga, Constltu-
tionalistis desperately anxious
that the South should do some
thing to spite the Government.
IL can think of nothing better
than advising planters to aban.
don the culture of cotton. The
cotton crop, it believes, is in
dispensable to the welfare OF
the Government, and without
it the Government credit must
fail. With it the enemies oil
the South are bolstered up
The year 1868, it says, is the
supreme year of destiny. If
this year the South does not
stop the production of cotton,
its people will be the worst of
suicides, and deserve 10 see
the Freedmen's Bureau the
pOssessor of their fair inherit
ance. Before the war we were
told by the Southern papers
that cotton was king, and that
its raisers swayed the destinies
of the financial world. 1t now
appears that they are only the
slave of the consumers. Dis
loyalty changes its argument
according to circumstances,
but though the conclusions
may differ, the old spitefulness
remains the me.-ErcbnD1e,
