Is ROsecrans Eligible?

The opinion, says the Cincinnati
Commercial. has been expressed to
us bv 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 cannot be regarded
as 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
citizens of any other State, before
he can exercise the privileges of
full citizenship. In other words.
being a citizen of California, he
could not return here in September
and be qualified voter in October
and if not qualified voter he is
ineligible to the office Of Governor
of Ohio. .r-t. zrs'
1t would be curious circum-
stance. after all the defamation
that has heen indnlged in by the
Democratic press touching the evils
OF carpet baeging, if it should tnrn
ont that the Democracy Of Ohio
have been guiltv-not only of nom
mating a carpet hagger. hut one
who has not resided in the State 9
sufficient length of time since dom
iciled in another State, to make him
a qualified voter, or eligible te
Office, if elected.
In these remarks we have not as
sumed it as a fact that Genera
Rosecrans has lost his citizenship
in Ohio by transferring it to Cali
fornia; but our informant is yer,
positive that such a change ha
taken place, and that the Genera
considers himself a Californian
The burden Of ascertaining tn
fact we shift upon the shoulders @
those who are interested in KNOWN
whether their candidates is eligibl
to the office of Governor.

Reputation and Lying.

The reputation resolution which
was offered in the Democratic Sena-
torial Convention last week. by
Capt. Kaga, and the marked mani
festation of approval which its
perusal elected, from large num-
her of the Democratic Delegates,
although it was not adopted, shows
pretty conclusively the disposition
of the party. We have always
believed that there is very large
element in the Democratic party in
favor of reputation. This element
is becoming bolder every day and
it becomes every honest man to
take decided position against a
policy which even thieves and
notorious gamblers would not ap
prove of in private business, for
we are assured the latter generally
pay their debts according to con-
tract. Reputation is the child of
dishonest hearts. We have from
the very inception of the debt held
that it should be paid according to
the contract, for we hold that If a
government expects its subjects to
be honest in common business
transactions, it should set the pro-
per example before them. If a
nation can repudiate, with impunity,
debt which was called into ex-
istence for tho purpose of saving
its life, then with equal propriety
its subjects may repudiate theil
private debts. To call for loan
in the hour of distress, and then
rcpudiate it amidst prosperity, is
the very worst and basest of ingrat
itude. And, we would here repeal
what we have long ago said in these
columns The individuals, who ad
vocate the reputation of the ma
tional Indebtedness, would do tn,
same with private debts if they hat
the opportunity. Beware of them
AS to the assertion in the resolution
that the Republican party has de
clared the debt a national blessing
we would say that it is totally, ut
tcrably, and meanly false. Th
Republican party views the nationa
debt as any other debt, and meai.
that it shall be paid-every cen
of it. "

THERE is serious dissatisfaction
in Coshocuon county with the regu-
lar Democratic county ticket, and an
independent Democratic ticket will
be run. made up of first class men,
which the Republicans will probably
support. The stealing of late years
in the county treasury and in other
county offices. has been carried on
on such stupendous scale that
even Democrats cry out that it is
time to hold up, or at least draw it
mild. The independent movement
bids fair to elect honest men in that
