Every repudiationist, every se-

who fayors discrimination in
legislation against the colored
people will vote for MraPendle4
tons he represents alt the ele4
ments Of disaGection and dis.

his election will be regarded as
a token that Ohio is ready to
90 back on The work of the
past eight years, as is willing
that the substantial results Of
he war shall be lost. 1t is This
construction, which will be
placed upon the canvass, that
gives ii d large and important
significance. .,,. ~ -.
If the Republicans Of Ohio,
therefore, see it In its right

But We pass to other, and
more important themes, griev.
ed to think that a man of Mr..
Leete's reputation Tor sagacity
and intelligence, could descend
to the low political trumpery
and distortion of fact, of which
We will now proceed to show
him guilty. l.i, ,-, ,,,t
Mr.. Leete says:
"The lst OF July. 1862 the public
debt footed upat S2.645.lTO, ,294. The
first of November 1867. the official
statement exhibited a debt Of 81, 40l,-
504.450. 1t, therefore. appears that in
less that two years the national debt
has been increased S243. G65.S44pBi,5 3
In his statement of the debt
for Nov. 1867, he makes a mis-
take'o OF 80 millions of dollars
less Than the debt then was. 1t
should have been S2,491. .504,.
450. But this is a minor point.
In his statement for July /,
1859, he gives the debt, plus
the cash on hand, while in the
exhibit of the debt for Novem.
ber 1857, he subtractsthe cash
on hand. and thereby gets his
difference. Had he stated the
point fairly and honestly, and
given the debt minus the cash
on hand, in both cases, he would
have found a reduction OF the
debt rather than an increase.
Is there any honesty in such
dealing9 '.. "' e.'.
Again Mr.. Leete says:
"The war taxes that were fixed by
the Act of July IA, 1862, at the COM
mcncement of the great currency in
fiatiOn. continue undiniinished."
Nothing but the most abject
depravity, will move a man to
make such a statement. Here
are some of the items of taxes
fixed by that act-which ap-
peared in our hasty examina-
ton of the thing: .....

Some Sharp Queries for Mr..
-. Pendleton.

To The Editor Ofthe Wheeling Inteugencen
Mr. George III. Pendleton, the
Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor of Ohio, made a
speech on the 10th inst, in
which he seemed greatly ex.
ercised about the "enormous
taxation" imposed on the citi.
gems of Ohio by tariff on foreign
goods. He is distressed that
nails are taxed "abont fifty pei
cent, @,bar iron about fifty.fve
per cent" coal oil "about thir.
" per cent" &c. He says: sit
is true they do not use i'm.
ported goods, and do not pay
these duties to the Govern
ment. That is one of the enor.
mites of this system. The
price of the domestic article is
regulated by the tariff. The
home manufacturer taxes his
price that he may just under
sell the foreigner. The Gus
toner pays the price, and he
has the exquisite satisfaction
of knowing that none of it goes
into the treasury, but all of it
into the pockets of the manu-.
facturers," This is the free
trade theory, and is "important
if true" Does Mr.. Pendleton
or any of his free trade admir-
ers really believe that any
body is "taxed" on coal OIL 30
per cent, when thousands of
barrels Of refined oil are sold
here at less than 80 cents a
gallon, and shipped via. Balti
more to Europe. Common
sizes of bar iron. manufactured
from metal, made from the fine
ores Of Missouri Mountain,
Lake Superior and Hanging
Rock have been sold and are
selling now for but little over
three cents a pound by the
manufacturers. Does anybody
believe the saline quality of
iron could be got to Ohio from
any quarter, at fiity-five per
cent. less, or even at the same
price, if our iron making was
all done in foreign countries.
The tariff on nails is one cent
and half pound. The price
Of 10d is four cents a pound.
Could any foreigner deliver
nails here at two and q half
cents a pound, currency, with
out paying any duties9 Does
not Mr.. Pendleton know that
home competition keeps the
price down, and that this coun-
try exports nails to Cuba, South
America, Mexico, &c, In 1860
and 1861, the cash price Of
nails here was less than two
dollars and forty cents a hun.
dred pounds for 10d. Does Mr.
Pendleton suppose people will
believe that but for the tariff
his oppressed fellow citizens
could have bought 10d nails al
less than ninety cents a hun
dred pounds. Mr.. Editor, dom
you think these free traders
and free speech makers make
rather free with the lntellects
of the American peoples

Does the, Hon. Ralph Leete
Tell the Truth.

Does the, Hon. Ralph, Leete
Tell the Truth.
The following partial review
of Mr.. Leete's Ironton speech
is clipped from the Ironton
Register. AS the Democracy
are deluging the county with
copies of this speech the re-
view will be found interesting
and instructive
One night last week, Mr..
Ralph Leete addressed a small
meeting, at the Court House,
in this place, in a carefully
prepared and written speech.
So we'll satisfied was he with
his effort, that he procured its
publication in the q Ironton
journal, and secured a suffi.
cient number of extra copies
to flood the, county. t.
We refrain from characteriz'
ing this speech in language
that it deserves, and further
than to say, that It's author has
hung to his name, a reputation
for political dishonesty, that
should follow him whenever
he mounts the rostrum to in
struct the people! F.A .9-E
Let us look into what he
says, and see wherein he roots
his alarms, with which he tries
10 disturb the people. '.
Mr.. Leete starts out by quot
ing Article 18th. He does
this untaithfully, for he uses
the words "and hold Office"
which are not in the Amend
ment. Mr.. Leete knows these
words are not in the Article,
for his attention has been call.
ed TO the matter before. But
let that go. III. -.r..
Mr.. Leete says:
THE question we are now to con-
slider. as we are compelled to decide
in the choice of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, who will be required 70
vote for or against the amendment
IN the next General Assembly is.
what will be the effect IF incorpor-
ating into the body polite millions OF
Chinese pagans?"
There is no such question
before the people. The 18th
Article does not submit that
issue. That article reads as
follows:
ART. XIV. /. The right OF the citii
zens of the United States to- vote shall
not be denied or abridged by tile
United States, or by any State, on. .ac'
count of race. color, Or previous cum
dltiun of servitude. /.
2. The Congress shall hhre power
to enforce this Article by appropriate
legislation. (
Who are citizens centem.
plated in section first 7 Arti'
Gle 14lh of the Constitution
tells this. 1t saysi Io ...l
"Aii persons born or nattiralited In
the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens OF the
United States, and of the State iil
which they reside" -,
From this, q man with a
grain of brain can see, that The
Chinese are not made voters
by Article. XVth. Nor does it,
in the least, affect our. Natural
isation laws; nor the power oi
Congress to change them. Ac
cording to the practice OF our
Government, a Ghinaman can
not be naturaliIed. Naturali,
cation refers to free white
aliens, as any one can see by
consulting the first section Of
the law. We say to Mr. Leete,
that 1t is an abuse of: common
sense and, a total disregard Of
facts, to declare that the adop'
tion OF the XVIII Amendment
will give the ballot to the
Chin amah. But be goes on to

! Too TRUE.-It is with profound re-
regret we find in our Chicago dispatch
| to-day the confirmation of the reported
loss OF all but one of the Powell expe-
dition. Our readers will remember that
Colonel Powell, with a number of young
collegiaus from Illinois, had been for q
long time on scientific exploring ex-
pedition in Southern Kansas and the
| country in which the Colorado takes its
source. These enthusiastic devotees to
the cause of science, in al unlucky hour,

walled passage. Weknow already, from
the miraculous escape of a soldier 10
coming out alive from this terrible abyss
some three years since-the sole survi-
vor of three others-that almost certain
death awaits all who enter the mouth of
this canyon. For nearly three huuGred
miles the walls rise perpendicularly from
one thousand to three thousand feet, aud
the waters course in foam and froth over
pointed rocks, and form into ever restless
rapids. With the knowledge of the dan.
gers before them conscious of the perils
of death that would beset them at every
point in this sombrous channel, where
the sun never shines. these intrepid--we
shall not say foolhardy-men entered
their frail boats and forever left the
world behind. In many respects this
was the most remarkable epeditiOn that
ever went out from the selvedge of civil
ization to penetrate the very heart of an
region. Colonel Powell, out
OF his own purse, equipped and sustained |
il, and the result of the scientific obser-
va,ions made by its members-their
discoveries in geology and the other
branches of natural science-all these
