Is Rosecrans Eligible?

The opinion has been expressed to
us by resident OF California, that
General Rosecrans considers him
self citizen of that State, and that.
acting in that capacity, he has, on
several occasions, voted for State
and county officers. Having domi
ciled there, and exercised the rights
of citizen, he can not be regarded
as a citizen of Ohio, and to become
one it would be necessary for him to
return here and remain during the
period required by Law of the citi-
zens Of any other State, before he
can exercise the privileges of full
citizenship. In other words, being
citizen OF California, he could not
return here in September and be
qualified voter in October; and if
not a qualified voter he is ineligible
to the office of Governor of Ohio.
1t would be a curious circum-
stance; after all the defamation that
has been indulged in by the Demo-
cratic press touching the evils of car
pet bagglng, if it should turn out
that the Democracy Of Ohio have
been guilty-not only of nominating
a carpet bagger, but one who has
not resided in the State sufficient
length of time since domiciled in an
other State, to make him & qualified
voter, or eligible to office, if elected.
In these remarks we have not as
sumed it as q fact that General Rose
Grams has lost his citizenship in Ohio
by transferring it to California; but
our informant is very positive that
such change has taken place, and
that the General considers himself
Californian. The burden of ascer-
taining the fact we shift upon the
shoulders OF those who are interest
ed in knowing whether their candi-
date is eligible to the office of Gov

Yours,

~ 1t will be a glorious day for
Catholics in this country when, under
the blows of justice and morality, our
school system will be shivered to
pieces; until then modern Paganism
will triumph.--Catholie Telegraph.
We have no desire to have religious
element enter, into the State canvass,
but in view of sneh sentiments uttered
by the reputed organ of Roman Cath
olic bishop in this State, and of the re-
laticns by blood and religion existing
between that bishop and the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, we do not
well see how it can be avoided. We
shall stand by our school system
against all assaults, from whatever
quarter they may come. Cleveland
Herald.
Does the very Rev. Archbishop's or
gan refer, in the expression "modern
Pagauism," to Protestants? Will the
Dispatch please inform us if the Cath
olic Telegraph speaks for his party and
candidate for Governor? Our common
schooIsystsm seems to be in bad odor
with our Catholic brethren, simply be-
cause they cannot use it in behalf of
their church; therefore they commit
Gen. Rosecrans TO its repeal. The
people will have voice in this matter
on the second Tuesday of October
next, when we advise the democratic
party to stand from under. 1t may be
well to add that the Bishop referred to
by the Cleveland Herald, in the above
extract, is Bishop Rosecrans, broth
er of Gen. Rosecrans, democratic can
didate for Governor of Ohio.

In Nut SHELL.-Of the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
That he was brave and capable
officer, has no particular relation to
his conduct as civilian. What the
people of Ohio are now interested to
know is, whether General Rosecrans
finds in the resolutions adopted by
the Columbus Convention an expli-
cation Of his views upon current po,
litical questions. If he puts himself
squarely on that platform, they will
not be at loss to determine how to
vote in October; and should he be
defeated, their verdict viii not be a
condemnation of what he did as a
soldier, but what he believed as a
politician.

G We published, last week, as
an item of news, an article from the
Cincinnati Gazette, speaking of
widespread dissatisfaction among
the Republicans of the Eleventh
district" in consequence of the re-
tention in Office of men, who, up to a
late hour proceeding the late Presi-
dental election, had worked for
johnson and against the Republi-
cans, and also censuring Mr.. WILL
SON, our Congressman, in the same
connection. In a subsequent num-
ber of the Gazette we find three COM
munications from Portsmouth, all
on the other side of the question,
assuming that there is no dissatis-
faction, and no censure. We know
nothing about the matters in con-
troversy, as this end of the district
has no local interest in the subject
of Federal appointments, never hav-
ing had one, and never expecting to
have one. These things are worked
up elsewhere. Did we choose to
show any interest in the matter, our
voice would probably have no pow
er, and hence up here, we are all
quiet and peaeeable, seeking no
changcs-seekingno office-and not
expecting any. -szA ss. q --.- 4
l. If the Gazette article refers, as
many suppose, to Messrs. NIGH and
COATS, Assessor and Collector, it is
unjust as well as untrue. No better
ofieers--no 1truer Repubhcans-caa
be found in the District, and we are
sure no Union man will censure Mr..
WILSON because of their retention
in Office. ...:fe--. ~. t,i-.--. - - - =.

the following explanation and apollo
gy for its former article. We trust
this is the end of this tempest in
teapot s~7du ae r
A delegation of three gentlemen
from Portsmouth, Ohio, waited upon
US last week with adviees of wide
spread dissatisfaction in consequence
of the Federal appointments in the
Eleventh District Based upon the
information referred to was an edi-l
torial paragraph which appeared in
the, Gazttte of the Goth inst. This
resulted in the receipt by us of a
score of letters, a portion of which
we, printed, and the publication of
editorials in several of the local pa
apers, informing us that the dissatis-
faction was confined mainly to the
gentlemen who waited upon us, and
we have arrived at the conclusion
that such is the case. But we have
the gratifying information that the
difficulties that did exist have been
satisfactorily arranged, andthat the,
