10. ReSolUed, That the attacks Of
Governor Hayes and Leo upon the
doines of tho late General Assem-
bly, arc false in statement, malicious
in spirit, and unworthy Of thoir high
position.
The above IS copied from the rcs-
olutions OF the Democratic State
Convention, which held its session
in tins city on Wednesday lust
Tho delegates whose votes adopted
it, were tho picked men of the Do
mocraev, from ovcry county in the
State. 1t Is the most terrible re-
buso of an Executive wo ever read.
The two Governors arc both

are supposed to DO honorable and
high minded mon. That may still
be tho rule, but if so, Governor
Hayes and Lieutenant Governor
Lee arc the exception. In his writ

vention Of his party that gave Coy,

statements which have boon brand.
ed and proven false. Lieut., Gov
ernor Lee the same night made Il
similar speech, speaking of what he
claimed TO have seen and heard
which statements are equally false
and, although it is the hardest thing
in the world to provo n negative
yet, in hls case, it has been done by
tho Legislative journals, and ht
stands upon the record Of his speech
as giving utterancos to charges at
false as they wcro malicious.
Deeply impressed with the grea-
dishonor thus done TO the State, the
Democratic State Convention de-
nounces the Chief Executive officer
of the State, as well as the Lieut.
Governor, for their want of truth
and verify, the denunciation is wei
mcrited.-[ Statesman:

says: ut is remarkable that Mr..
RaymOnd-enioying az good health
as he did--should have passed tho
very last afternoon OF his hfo IN SD
lecting burial place; aud a still
moro striking coincidence was his
saying--as tho World reports-to
Mr.. M"dill, on tho morning OF his
death, and when he appeared per-
fcclly woll, that he would prefer n
death by apoplcxy to any other. 1t
Is tradition of tho eloquent James
Otis, of Revolutionary fame, that no
had often expressed a desire that
when his time should como to die,
he might be struck by lightning;
and that one day he stood in the
front doorway Of his house, with the
door open, as q small cloud passed
over. Ono single thunder bolt fell
from it, and that struck him and
killed him instantly"

products of Colorado during 1868. The

those by private hands, were of gold,

was, in wheat. 7,410; corn, 10, 1884; oats.
barley. &c, 3,7Oo; potatoes, 1866; total,
23 91O acres. The yield averaged twenty
eight bushels of wheat, twenty-five bushels
of corn, thirty-fve bushels of barley and
oats, and 100 bushels of potatoes to the
acre. Several districts are not included in
these returns. The value of the agricultural
products was So, 6s3, s4O-exceeding that of
the shipments of bullion by $780, 600.
The Agricultural Department reports a
falling off in the farm stock of the country
In 1868, compared with 1867. The total
amount of corn and wheat sold for export
was also less for 1867 and 1868 than for the
two years prior to the war; and now tie fact
is reported from Cincinnati that the hog
crop of the whole country for the season Of
1869 is q little more than over that of
eight years ago. If this be SO we need not
wonder at the high price of food. While
the West has increased from fifty to seven
ty-five per cent, in habitable area and popu-
iation, the quantity of bread and meat raised
for sale has fallen OF.

Some idea Of the manner in which the
Government is swindled is furnished BY the
developments concerning the BROOKLYN
Navy Yard frauds. For five years the Go
vernment has been bled by these Brooklyn
sharpers of untold sums of money The
facts concerning the building of the gun
park at Cobb dock, in the navy yard in that
city, are really startling. The Now York
Sun states that in this contract ADVERTISE
ments calling for bids were inserted accord
ing to the legal form in all the principal
papers; and, after the bids had been re-
ceeived, they were opened by the board of
inspectors, appointed for the purpose, and
the contract awarded, apparently, to the
lowest bidder. The lowest bid by any
honest man was $500, 900, as that was the
least. with fair profit, that it could be done
for. certain contractor, however, offered
to do it for $500, 000-less than the material
and work would cost even him. But be-
fore the contract had left the bureau at
Washington it had grown by what is called
creeping" to 1856, 1875. On the plea of
extra unprecedented work, they oontrived
to obtain second appropriation of 1886, 500
more, in manner known only to the navy
yard ring. In this manner their bid, in
stead of being the smallest, was immense;
instead of being $780, 900, it was $741, ,S75.
Not only this but other large amounts of
Government property vera used in the
work. Jt'u' ,H1'le

Tho War Cloud.

Mr.. Summers speech, I'M executive ses-
sion on the 18th instant, isAundoubtedly ii a
fair exhibit of the losses the, Government
has sustained by the depredations of the
Ala bama, fitted out to prey upon the COM
merce of the United States in British wa
ters. Mr.. Sumner argues that the damage
done ought to be met by Great Britain, and
states distinctly that the failure to do SO is
properly oausas 6ell.a And yet Mr.. Sum
ner takes no stand in favor, of open rup-
ture; 81 know it is sometimes said that war
between us must come sooner or later.
do not believe it. But If it must come, let
it come later, and then / am sure it will
never come" f- N'.a
Whether this is a diplo matte declaration
of war or not may be apparent to the men
tai optics OF a Chairman Of the HCommittes
on Foreign Relations" It is not certainly
clear to the vulgar vision A mercantile
solution to this problem is easily reached by
counting the cost of collection against the
amount due. The question of foreign
war between two great powers is not to be
settled by obscure passages in senatorial
rhetoric, nor to be decided by overstrained
diplomacy, Easa
Before we talk war openly, let us resolve
and prepare quietly. It is not yet quite
admitted that the war filings of our pub
licists are the 'incarnate wisdom" of the
whole country. On the contrary, there is q
large class of American citizens who, in the
present situation of affairs, can ill-afford
the increased burthens of q foreign war,
added to the weight of Our domestic taxes.
These arc by no means interested in repri-
sails of any kind; but they are interested in
as light public debt as possible.
Let us look before we leap at the real in
terests of those whose wants have been,
through the process of making money
classes, suffering, and, if the policy of the
Government is not changed, must suffer
more. It would be well to study the rela-
tions of war to repudiation before entering
the former.

The Washington correspondent of the

rlcan Citizens courier arrives from the

diers, occupied in guarding thirty of the
most respectable citizens of the town, who
were arrested more than four months since.
and who have never been allowed :. trial or
hearing of any kind. No one of them has
ever been informed of the cause of his ar
rest. The courier announced to the War
Department that the soldiery have con-
structed stockade surrounded with a
ditch fifteen feet wide and twelve feet deep
and within the stockade erected frame
shed N which the prisoners are kept. A
guard is constantly on duty within the
stockade and another outside of the stock
ade. No one, not even counsel, is allowed
to speak to one of these prisoners except
IN the hearing of q file of soldiers. Even
their wives and daughters are forbidden any
intercourse whatever, except in particular
cases, where lady is occasionally allowed
TO talk to her husband, who is brought out
under guard of eight men to the entrance
OF the stockade, but all such interviews are
limited to fifteen minutes. These prisoners
nave made appeal after appeal for trial.

The celebrated McArdle case, in the

opinion, dismissing the case 'for want of
Jurisdiction" McArdle. it will be remem-
bered, was the Vicksburg (Mississippi) edi-
tor arrested by General Ord, tried by mill.
tary commission, and imprisoned in 1867
for printing "seditious articles in the
Vicksburg Times. On the trial by military
commission, the accused refused to plead,
and plea of not guilty was entered for
him. The United States Circuit Court in
Mississippi granted q writ of habeas co,pus.
The court held that the question presented
involved the constitutionality Of the Act of
Congress, (the Reconstruction Act,) in vir-
tue of which General Ord placed McArdle
under arrest, and he decided that Act to be
constitutional, thus deciding that the pri-
soner was subject to arrest and to trial be-
fore military commission. He was there

United States Supreme Court on an appeal
from this decision, with the result above.
