Here is what the Journal said and It

Impotence of Hayes-The Sad
die ON the Right Horse.

uAe ON the Right hOI~Ecs
The attempt of Governor Hayes to
call off the attention of the people
from his own acts, by raising q howl
against the Democratic LegislatureI
Is simply on a par with the cry OF
''stop thief' shouted by the real ras-
cal in order to put the pursuers on
the wrong trail. Hayes, in his an
nual message to the Legislature, said
not word against ''neW Offices" but,
on the contrary, suggested and en-
couraged their creation. If the Leg
islature had done as he erecommeued,
there would have been ground for
clamor from the taxpayers Of Ohio,
but not from him. In his annual
message, Hayes advised the Legisla-
ture to pass law creating the Office
of School Superintendent in every
county in Ohio. This alone would
have created 50 new county offices to
be supported by the people at an an
nual expense Of g, 900 to q county, OF
more than $175, 900 for the entire
State. The Democratic Legislature
very properly refused to create the
additional expense. If they had
acted otherwise, there is no room to
doubt that Hayes and the whole press
of his party would now be assailing
the Democrats in the Legislature for
doing the very thing he had solemn.
ly recommended. We are justified
in tlIis belief by the fact that the law
for making a geological survey ofthe
State, which Hayes now makes q
cause of censure, was introduced into
the Legislature by a leading Radical,
and was zealOusly supported by the
Governor and his friends of the lob.

Mr.. John A. Bigham, who is ad-
vertised to speak in Allegheny city to
night, it will be remembered, took
an active part in the military murder
of Mrs Surratt at Washington in
1865. Notwithstanding every effort
made by ReVerdy johnson, and
other eminent counsel, to save the
life Of the unfortunate woman, or at
least secure her fair trial in legal
manner. Mr.. Bingham used ell his
authority and influence to push her
into eternity in the most ighOmini-
Gus manner, and succeeded. To do
this he TSsorted to the lowest tricks
of the pettifogger, backed by the
members of the commission; taking
grounds that no lawyer would stOop
to in establishing the Jurisdiction Of
the pretended court.
After the Villainous perjurer San
ford Conover had been recalled by
the prosecution to give his testimony
which was throughout, upon the face
of it, q tissue of vile falsehOOds,
systematically woven together tor
the purpose of numbering an limo
cent woman, Mr.. Judge Advocate
Bingham took the ground in his ar
EunCul III 4dNOI VI ACE c4CCuLtOuj
that "the court had already oVerrul
ed the plea of the Jurisdiction. He
would pass it over In silence, but fol
the fact that it had been gravely
argued by counsel for accused.
AS to the argument that the civi
courts were open in this district, be
answered that they are closed
throughout half the Republic, and
were in the District only by force o
the bayonet."
Afterward it was proven beyond
all doubt that MRS. Surratt was ar
iAnocent person. Had Bingham anC
his party permitted her trial before
any ordinary legal tribunal, it would
have been proven before her life wa
taken.
Does he still believe in the excel
Ience of military tribunals?
Does he think they are the proper
places to try persons charged with
offences against the civil law?
What does he think now of the
trial and execution Of Mrs. Surratt
Will he answer? Will he ever
have the courage to refer to the
matter Pittsburgh Post, Sept. 10Th.

A DISPATCH from Washington
says:
"FRED. DENT, Jr., Mrs. Grants
nephew, was to-day appointed In
spector Of the San Francisco Custom
house, at 81, $50 salary"
THE Radicals are rejoicing over a
great reduction of Government ex-
penses for "tbe fiscal year ending july
81, 1862" and figure up an immense
sum in favor of the economy of the
present Administration. We don't
like tOspon their rejoicings, but they
are greatly mistaken. In the first
place the fiscal year ends on the sOth
day Of June. This would give
Grants Administration about two
months for ''retrenchment," to ten
mouth for the expiring Administra'
tion Of Mr.. johnson. So they can't
rejoice over the exhibit of the last
fiscal year without giving the glory
to A. ]. In doses Eve times as large
as they administer to Ulysses.

Dom PIatt, who is a Republican in

June, 1867, said:

impunIty with which stealing went on. All

Thieves were turned out to be succeeded
by thieves, and colossal fortunes were
made in an hour
Dom PIatt spent last winter in Wash

and he now says We have the most cor:

Mr.. Pendleton was not one of the patri.
otic ''thieVes" who made ''collossal for.
tunes" in an hour, nor did he help make
our Government ''the most corrupt Gov.

THE voters of this State ought to
understand that the Radical party
are trying to force negro suffrage on
the people without their consent
This is an issue Of the campaign, and
an important one. When the feder.
al Constitution was formed the con-
vention refused TO give the general
government control of the question
Of suffrage, but left 1t to the State,
where its regulation has remained.
But now the Radicals are making an
effort to take this right from the
States and have it regulated by the
general government.

The disposition of the Radicals to
restrict the right of naturalization,
and to throw obstacles in the way
OF white foreigners who desire to be-
come American citizens cannot be
disguised. 1T is continually: crop

Radical, hasjust Illuminated q decree
In the following terms:
Instead Of five years, we would
have seven years required, before q
foreigner can vote here. The New

year later unless challenged in the
meanwhile. The decision allowing
