THE Cincinnati Commercial seems to
be very unfortunate in the selection of
its Washington correspondents. For
two or three years its readers were af-
fiioted with the letters of "Mack," a
blathering copperhead who is now the
regular correspondent of the Cincinnati
Inquirer, and they are now tormented
with the stilted, spread-eagle, never
ending epistles of grandmother Don
Piatt, who slashes around like a crazy
man in lunatic asylum. Occasionally
these letters contain good thing but it
is SO mixed up with frothy nothings,
and original, ridiculous absurdities that
it costs more to find it than it is worth
when found.

NEW HAMPSHIRE has gone Republi-
can by about 1000 majority.-[G Gazette.
That's all the Gazette has to say about
the New Hampshire election-the first
State election this year, and the first
endorsement of Grants election-but it
fills half column with returns of Dem
ocratic town elections in New York,
carefully excluding all returns from Re-
publican towns or districts. This judi
cious system of giving election news
may be very consoling to Democrats but
can hardly give very much strength to
the party. The State of New Hamp-
shire is small affair, but the town of
"Dennamora, Clinton County, New
York; which gave majority of 81 for
the Democratic ticket, is big thing
Hurrah for Dennamora and Democracy!

During the political campaign Of 1867
in Ohio, the copperhead papers and
stump-speakers discoursed eloquently
and with gushing sympathy for the
poor soldier, over their charges that the
Black Republican Legislature had stolen
the money belonging to the Soldiers
Relief Fund. The truth was that, the
war having ended. 100000 of that fund
was transferred to the Sinking Fund
and used to pay principle and interest
of the State debt. When the Demo-
cratic Legislature met last winter DIR.
Scott introduced bill for the repay
msnt of the money, but the bill was
referred to Mr.. Hughes, of Highland,
who put it in his pocket, intending that
it should sleep the sleep that knows no
waking. A resolution was introduced
in the House last week by Republican,
asking Mr.. Hughes to report back the
bill, and this resolution was laid on the
table by q strict party vote, every Dem
Ocrat present voting in the affirmative.
This action of the Ohio Democracy
clearly proves, first, that they were not
honest when they charged the Repnbli-
can party with stealing this money, for,
if their charges had been true, speedy
investigation and exposure of the whole
matter would have been their very first
business, second, that their professed
sympathy for the soldier or his widow
and children was all a mere sham, as
they absolutely refuse to refund this
money to the fund raised for their re-
lief
We are, perhaps, making ourselves
very ridiculous in attempting to prove
that the Democratic editors and speak
ers of Ohio, as well as the Democratic
Legislature have been guilty of dishon-
est trickery and hypocricy in this mat
ter; for their dishonesty upon all ques-
tions is 30 notorious that public senti-
ment answers to thu charge, like the
Irishman did, who, when resolution
was offered at a public meeting which
..resoIyed that Irishmen are men," ex-
clsimed, .be jabers, who the divil ever
doubted that"

A Washington dispatch SAYS Secre-
tary Boutwell, informed the Ways and
Means Committee that from casual re-
examination of the debt he had found
affairs generally in a pretty good condi :
ton. He did not think he would require
any additional financial legislation at
present. There was an abundance of
money, and he indicated his determine
tion not to keep IA large amount on hand,
and that he.would use the surplus from
time to time for the purchase and can
collation. of bonds, claiming at the same
time that there was ample authority in
his judgment in the existing legislation
to make such purchase and cancellation.
He stated also that he was opposed TO
the secret sales of gold, and that when
ever he had any for sale it would be sold
in open market, giving everybody the
same opportunity of buying.

are sure to vote for the repeal of the
tenure-of-office act, while its opponents
claim 33 votes. Great efforts will be
made to reach the vote to-day.

AruV Matters.

General Sherman has entirely revolu-
tionized the way of dpiRg things in the
War Department, and is instituting Wig
orous and economical measures. Here
tofore the various bureaus have been
practically Independent, and the Adju-
tant, Quartermaster and Commissary
Generals haye been In the habit Of
issuing orders relating to their bureaus
on their own responsibility, without
even consulting the Generalin-Ch or
the Secretary of War. No order of any
sort is now allowed to go out without
having first passed under General Sher-
mans eye. General Sherman illustrates
the necessity of this by saying sit has
often happened heretofore that supplies
have accumulated at great expense at
distant stations, from which troops are
about to be removed, which could not
have happenedebut for the bureaucratic
system now in yo.ue."
