DEATH OF ISAAC TOUCEY.

We find the following just remarks
on the death OF Isaac Toucey-the
perfidous Secretary of the Navy
during the Buchanan administration
in the Toledo Blade. Who will say
that the arraignment is not just?
This notorious Connecticut politi-
clan has gone from the scenes OF
earth, having attained the ripe age
of three score and eleven years. He
was q lawyer by profession a mem
Der of Congress from 1885 to 1889 ;
Governor of Connecticut from 1916
to 1848, and was in Polk's Cabinet
during the last year of his term, as
General. In 1852 he was
elected to the United States Senate,
and in 1857 became a member oil
Buchanan's Cabinet. He was Sec
retary Of the Navy during that
treacherous, ill-fated and infamous
And of all its mem.
bers none were more false or unpa-
triotic than Isaac Toucey. 1t was at
his order that the navy OF the cOun-
try was scattered to the ends OF the
earth to be out Of reach when pirates
and traitors should draw the dagger
on the nations life. He was a mis-
cradle and despicable tool of traitors,
and did the meanest work they allot-
ted, apparently without remOrse OF
compunctiOn. We dislike to array
the faults Of the dead, and would
greatly prefer to epeak only of the
virtues even of somewhat vicious
men. But the nation owes no gen,
erosity to the northern politicians
who acted the part of traitors in the
hour of its greatest trial and peril
Isaac Touoey vas a base sycophant
OF the slave-oligarchy all his days
and traitor to the country which
honored him with many responsible
trusts. Let the rebels, whose myrmi-
don he was, honor him if they will
the loyal nation owes to his memory
naught but execratiOn.

LETTER FROM FOSTORIA.

FOsToRIA, o., Aug. 2.
EDS. JEFF. News items here are
very scarce. Business in town was
never duller. In the country il is
very lively-farmers are very busy
gathering in their crops during the
nice weather. Wheat, so far as
threshed, is yielding from twenty
five to thirty-five bushels per acre
the best yield we have had for a
great many years. Oats generally is
good. Corn is about like it is around
Findlay,-rather short and thin.
Our quiet little village was thrown
into quite a state of excitement on
last Tuesday, July 81, by the arrest
Of one Daniel nj. Swope, of Wood
county notoriety. Daniel-who has
long been suspected of violating the
"GOlden Rule"-came to town ON
Monday evening, and taking in the
buggy with him young man of our
place, by the name of John Woods,
and also bottle of benzine-they
spent the night in riding over the
country.
During their nightly rounds, said
SwOpe introduced to Woods the sub
ject of becoming a member Of a Sc
cret clan for the purpose of robbery,
theft, and murder-bound together
by horrid oath Of secresy.
1t seemed to be the object Of the
clan to establish line of thieves to
secrete and convey stolen property
along the lines until disposed OF
and for the protection of one another
in case of arrest.
The oath was administered to
Woods ty Swope, and he was re-
quested to sign the contract. 1t
already had two names attached
Swope's, and a young mans from
Jackson township. But, for some
cause, Woods refused to proceed
further, and took from SwOpe, by
force, the paper in question, and ON
arriving at FOstOria in the morning,
turned him over to the constable
He was brought before Esq. Bradner,
but for want of sufficient testimony
was acquitted.
1t seems they had laid their plans
to make informal calls upon some of
the business men of this place, among
others, Jerry Nestlerode was to be
their first victim, but, luckily for him,
the organization was nipped in the
bud.
The streets and cutters Of our
town are being improved, and alto
gether, it is assuming rather a neat
appearance. j. r.

A friend who has travelled in Ger

for which he vouches: During the
summer, DR.. j. C. Aver spent some
weeks at Dresden, in conference
with the chemists OF Central Europe,
where he was heralded as the invent

that bear his name, and considered
one of the American celebrities.

riage fell in with the cortege of the
King of saxony, on drive from the

we're even more demonstrative In their
courtesies to him than to the King
himself whom they see SO constantly,

ROSECRANS AND DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPERS.

In the latter part of the year 1868
the Ohio Democratic Central Com.
mittee addressed letter to Genera
Rosecrans, then in command of the
Army of the Cumberland, complain
ing that Democratic papers we're not
allowed to circulate in his part of the
army. He replied in the following
terms:
As to newspapers, pamphlets
and other publications--none have
been, or will be, excluded on the
ground OF party politics But l do
not belong to that sentimental class
who, weakly and timidly, allow braw-
ling license to stab true liberty
Hence, when any publication appears
among us so licentious, lying, or
trsitorous, as to endanger the moral
ity, or be likely to impair the spirit
and vigor of this army, feel bound
by reason, justice and duty to my
country, to use my authority to pre-
vent its circulation.
SIS. ANY action under color of my
authority inconsistent with these
principles is without warrant. and,
on complaint and adequate evidence,
will be redressed.
"Very respectfully,
"Your fellow citizen,
"W. S. RosECRANs,
'.Msjor General
Commenting on this, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, of September 2, 1868,
says:
aThe General tells us that "when
any publication appears among us SO
living, licentious or traitorous as to
endanger the morality, or impair the
spirit Of the army then he shall
feel bound to prevent its circulation.
He is to be the judge OF whether it
is dying, licentious or traitorous'
paper, and will not permit the SOL
diers themselves to form their opin-
ions on that point He is to be the
arbiter of what the soldiers shall
read or shall not read!
"The views of the General regarding
any paper are not likely to be those
of large number of his army, no
matter how violent or vehement his
expressions of dislike MAY be. 1t is
very easy for General to say that
the leading Democratic papers shall
not circulate in the army because
they are ''lying, licentious and trait
orous,'' he may think so, but for him
to order their exclusion from those
who do not think SO, is, in our Judg-
ment, neither fair, honest or manly"
Comment upon these extracts is
unnecessary. They show beyond
cavil that Rosecrans and the Demo
racy have no sentiments in common.
save, perhaps, those of ambition and
lust of power. Gen. Rosecrans has
never publicly retracted what he then
truthfully asserted of his now would
be party friends; and a retraction or
modification at this time would be
disgusting even to Democratic minds.

DEMOCRATIC journals are taking
some consolation FROM the sayings
of Don Piatt. We commend to
them the following, which is an ex-
tract from a speech delivered By that
gentleman, at the Colored Conven-
tion, at Louisville;
"Let me tell you in a sentence
what ! think Of the Democratic par.
ty. 1t is the organized ignorance
of the land, animated by low preju-
dices and vicious passions; and
while l would shrink from asserting
that all Democrats are rascals, / will
say, without fear Of successful con.
tradiction, that all rascals are Demo.
Gratis. In analyzihg the rings /
found operating in Washington last
winter, I discovered that two thirds
of their members belonged to that
old organization that claimed to have
beea born under Jefferson, fought
under Jackson, and suffered death
under the venerable Buchanan
Whether it will rise again at any sub.
sequent period Is for the people to
say.h

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, of Janu-
ary l6, 1868, makes the following
honest confession:
"The real genuine Democracy of
the country we're never at heart for
the war, and never believed that it
could lead to good result. They
believed with Stephen A. Douglas
when he declared, in the United
States Senate, on the 18th of March,
1861, that "wsr was disunion, now
and forever" and that "peace was
the only policy that could save the
country The idea that voluntary
Union, such As our fathers made,
could be established by force, was
too ridiculous to find q lodgment in
the brain of-any reasoning Demo
crat. All saw its logical error, and
all readily condemned it in their
hearts. They were opposed to it in
principle before the war commenced,
and the fact of the commencement
did not change their views, but ex
perience has confirmed and strength
ened them"
1t is here admitted that certain
portion of the Democracy were in
favor of the war, by which, we pre-
sumo, is meant Logan, Dickinson,
Butler, ct. al, but this was not the
genuine article, which, we are assur-
ed, "were pever at heart for the
war;
The fact here confessed will be no
new thing to our readers, and we
simply produce It as rare specimen
of honest confession. 1t is proper
to state, in this connection, that the
Enquirer now supports Rosecrans.

GERMANY WANTS To LEND US Mon
EY.-The result of Governor Bout
wells administration of the Treasury
Department appears in a proposition
from q German house in Frankfort,
to loan our Government three hun
dred million dollars at per cent.
which the Secretary has, of course
been obliged to decline. His view
is that we may, within a year, borrow
all the money we want at 4 per cent, or
certainly at 4k per cent, and the
present indications seem to be, though
it is not intended to speak in his
name, that he will next winter advise
such loan, for the purpose of paying
off the 500, due now, or whenever
the Government chooses to so consid-
err them. A private letter, not to the
Secretary, from a well advised source
in England, expresses the opinion
that q bond at four and quarter per
cent. can easily be negotiated in Eu.
rope within six Or eight mopths.
