Death of Gen. Wm. Stedman.


The telegraph, a few days ago,
briefly announced the death of Gen.
VIM. Stedman, Consul to Santiago
de Cuba, Oh the 9th inst. On the
18th inst, the funeral Of the de
ceased was announced to have tax
en- place at Santiago on the 7th, at
tended by seventy civil, military
and foreign officials. Yellow fever
or cholera, both of which are re
ported prevalent at Santiago, was
the cause of his death, doubtless.
Upon his arrival he wrote to his
family that he was well, but before
the letter reached them, telegram
informed them of his death.
Gen. Stedman, as commander of
the 9th Ohio Cavalry, participated
in the following battles, End Bull
Run, Cross Keys, Chautilly, Steph-
ensburgh, Aldie, Upperville, Boons
boro, Rapidan Station, Sulphur
Springs, Auburn Mills, Bristom
Station, Mine Run, Todd's taycrr
Childsburg, Richmond Bottoms
bridge, Anon Church, Coal Harbor,
Trevillian station,St. Mary's Church,
Malvern Hill, Lees Mills, Weldon
Railroad, Vaughn Road, Hatchers
Run. Having passed through forty
months of military service and been
in more than twenty engagements,
he returned home to his family and
friends, shattered in health, but still
buoyant in spirit.
He expected to return home in
time to meet with the war-worn
veterans Of his regiment, at Salem,
in October next. At the reunion
held in October, 1868, Gov. Tod in
glowing address said:
1--WE are going to meet in Salem
for our reunion next fall, am
going to be there. Ifyou shouldn't
see me you can ask Stedman, who
will surely be on hand. to answer
the question, ''when did Tod die Z"
Gen. Stedman WAS twice elected
to the Legislature, and once to the
Senate, from Portage county. We
had the pleasure of most init
mate acquaintance with him, having
been his fellow laborer during two
of his terms. Last winter he told
us he designed returning from Cuba
in September, and desired us to say
to his comrades, Of the gallant old
6th, that he would not fail to meet
them at Salem, and as well as he
could, answer at roll call for Gov
ernor Tod.
All! who will answer now for
Tod? for Stedman ?-iSaIeas Re

RECONSTRUCTION.

1 do not consider it necessary to
say much about reconstruction.
The late rebel States are gradually
assuming their rights as equal States
in the Union; labor and capital are
adjusting themselves to the changed
relations of master and slave. The
productions of the South will this
year approach the highest produc-
tions before the war. If the Repub-
lican party has committed any
error in its policy ofreconstruction,
it has been on the side of -liEerality
and generosity. Nearly all the
rebels have been restored to their
political rights, and / hope the
time is not far distant when gener-
al amnesty will be a safe and pru-
dent policy. The election of Gen
eral Grant saved, I believe, Sec
ond civil war. His administration
will secure to all classes peace and
protection. Thousands who were
implacable enemies of the Union
are now acquiescing in his policy.
We may proudly point to the gen.
eral acquiescence of friends and
foes in the South in the measures
of this administration as the most
ample defense of the wisdom and
moderation of the Congressional
policy of reconstruction, so tiercely
denounced by our political oppo-
nents. This policy being no lon
ger hindered by the factious eva
sions Of Andrew johnson, and now
fairly put iE execution by General

The national banking system was
never party measure, but sprung out
of the vital necessity, during the war,
of absorbing State bank paper. 1t
accomplished this purpose and has
furnished us an admirable currency
of uniform value throughout the
country, and based on the highest
securities. 1t must have two addi-
tional qualities, without which it
will not be sustained by any party.
The circulation must be more equal
ly distributed among the States, or
it must be open and free to banks
wherever organized, and it's notes
must be paid in specie. This can
only be when the United States
shall resume specie payments on it's
notes. These two conditions COM
piled with, the system, in my opin-
ion, will be the best banking system
ever organized in any country. 1t
is hardly necessary for me to prove
that paper money must exist in some

THE PUBLIC DEBT.

There is one kind of expenditure
to which the people ought not to
object, and that is the payment of
the public debt. The public debt
may be, with a redundant currency,
diminished more easily than here
after, when our bonds rise to par in
gold, and our currency is equal to
gold. 1t has always been the
policy of the United States to dis
courage standing public debt, to
provide for it's early payment. We

Canton Market.

The past week has exhibited con.
siderable degree Of activity in all de
pdrtmcnts OF trade. The streets are
througcd with wagons loaded with
the great staple Of the country, which
finds ready sale ut prices fully up to
the quotations Of New Orleans. The
merchants of Canton seem dctermin-
ed on making this the great poin
of trade, as indicated by the liberal
prices paid for Cotton, regardless OF
the fluctuations daily reported from
New York and New Orleans.
notwithstanding the unfavorable
news atDhc hourof our going topreSS.
we can make no alteration in the

How TO KEEP BUTTER SwEET.-It is
the easiest thing in the world. Simply put
it in clean jars and cover with srong
brine. This will keep pure butter year,
fresh and sweet as we know by experience.
1t is almost equally as good to put in oak
casks, headed tight. This is equivalent to
canning fruit The brine in the case of
the jar acts as heading, keeping the air
out But butter should be made well; we
have never experimental on poor butter.
Work out the buttermilk till you have only
pure ''beads," clear as ram water; but do
not work so much as to brake the grain, in
which case you have tough, heavy arti-
Gle in Winter, and grease in Summer.
Such butter we advise no one to try to

How TO KEEP A GATE FROM SAG

suggests the following plan, which he has
tried with good results: "Set the hang

ground, lamp well at the bottom, on the
side opposite the gate; then dig trench
six inches deep fom one post to the other
in this put three-by-four scantliDg, or a
pole of white oak, black walnut, mulberry,
or some other lasting timber, seeing that it
jnst fills the space between the two gate
posts, and cover with earth, and the gate will
stand as you hang it till the post rots off,
