State Senator Nation Of New York is one Of
the Republicans whose trcachery, last winter,
threw the Legislature into the hands Of the Erie
railroad The motives Of Nation and the other
apostates in changing front on the Erie bill have
never been above suspicion. though their friends
have pretended to dscredit all charges of cor
ruption. But Mr. Mi.toon has Just been sho#u
up In striking light Il appears that ia March.
1865, Senator Nation was chairman Of COM
mittee appointed to investigate matters pertain
ing to Central and Erie Railway stock 1t
alleged that ~ that time he was introduced To
Sanl. ?. White and Geo. .. Jones who are re-
presented professional lobbyists. White and
Nation hen made an agreement to purchase
1000 shares of stock. with the understanding,
as alleged by che former, that the profits and the
losses If any, were to be equally divided be-
tween them. Accordingly the shares were
bought Tor $4,000, and we're subsequently, sold
and a loss OF SG,07i sustained White. upon
this, asked Nation to pay his share of the loss,
which Mlttoon refused. suit WAS thereupon
brought by White 10 recover. On the stand
White testified in accordance with the above sta
tement. Nation admitted the bond, but denies
that he agreed to share the loss During the
trial Nations character was damaged in several
places, aud be appears to be not altogether

A Mean Attack on the Irish and Cor
man Population.

The Ashland Times of July, 23d,
contains the following scurrilous attack
upon the nomination of RosECRANs,
and those who concur with him in re-
ligious tenets:
at is a mild statement of the case
to say that there vas a very general
feeling of disappointment ut the nom
nation of Rosecrans. Many delegates
were loud in their complaints, and
some declared with oaths that they
would not vote for Rosecrans under
any circumstances. Three grounds of
complaint were mainly urged: j.
That his nomination was q Vallandig-
ham-Chase movement End. That
he was an internal Lincoln hireling /;
and third, that he is a most bigotcd
Catholic, and as such obnoxious to n
large portion of the religious clement
of the party (~whatever that may
amount toy. Reports were circulated
that he had celebrated mass OH the
battlefield that he protected Catholic
churches everywhere, and used Pro-
testant churches for hospitals, and
even as stables for his horses. Many
other reports were III circulation, both
before and after his nomination"
The above contains six or seven un-
mitigated lies. The large vote receiv-
ed by RosEcRANs, shows that there
could have been but little disappoint-
ment at his nomination, if any.
The cloud complaints and "oaths'
spoken of, had their origin in the IA
natical imagination of the writer of the
above, for none were uttered.
The charge that the nomination was
a VALLANDIGHAM-CH CHASE movement,
is untrue; for we presume neither of
these gentlemen had any thing to do
with it.
The cry of demonstrating" was
not raised; and a invented by the
lying scribbler who makes the charge.
The charge that RosECRANs was q
bigoted Catholic, and as such, was OBJ
noxious to the religious element of the
Democratic party, was made by the
author of the foregoing, in the hope of
%prejudicing his success; and was neT-
er uttered by a Democrat. 4
That General RosECRANs mali
ciously destroyed Protestant churches,
or used them for stables, in his march
cs, is not believed by any sane man ;
ON the contrary, when the General was
at Cornifax Ferry, it is known by
hundreds of soldiers in this county,
that he used a brick church, belonging
to the Catholics, as a hospital, and for
storage in 1862; and in 1868, when
he returned with his army, that way,
it was in ruins. The crosses placed
over the graves of the soldiers who
fell in that part of Virginia, show that
a large majority were Catholics.
We deny then, that any Democrat
eyer said, that General RosECBANs
