Governor Scott seems inclined to support
such measures as will increase the efficiency
ofthe institution and insure the}comfort
and well-being of its inmates, and we trust
that the General Assembly will require that
the existing condition of affairs be thorough
ly investigated, with the object OF protecting
the unfortunates who cannot care for them
selves, and are, as it were, the wards OF the
State. If the colored iunatics prefer to have
s. colored keeper, we have no right to object,
but we must protest against the practice OF
submitting white men and white women to
the capricious insolence and constant i'll
treatment of cruel and malignant negro.
Harris is, we believe, the secretary and
treasurer OF the Asylum, as well as the head
attendant, and to keep him in position for
which he is, by nature and temper, wholly
unfit, is only to prove that it is determined
to make use of the helpless and the afflicted
as means of rewarding the hangers-on OF a
political party The man Harris was ap-
pointed, we presume, because he is negro
Radical, and for that reason alone can he be
retained.

The cherubic Kimpton.

A resolution has been offered by Sena-
tor Arnim requiring the Financial Agent OF
the State to make full report of the none
tary transactions of which he has had charge.
This was necessary to be done. Governor
Scott says not word. OF MIR. Kimpton in
his annual message; nor does the Treasurer
or the Comptroller-General; as far as we
know, describe the involntions and evou-
tions of the millions which have been COM
mitted to the Financial Agents care. The
circumstance that Mr.. Kimpton is out OF
favor at this time is, if true, no reason why
his accounts should not be exposed to the
public. We want to know what has become
OF the So, 700, 900 in bonds OF the State which
Kimpton held one year ago, according to the
report of the Comptroller-General. And we
should like to. be told, without circumlocu-
ton, what were the terms upon which Henry
Clews & Co., OF New York, were willing to
take the s4,OOO,ooo OF Blue Ridge Railroad
guaranteed bonds, and whether the Franco
German aris the only reason why the ne
gotiation fell through. We hope that Sena-
tor Arnim will push his resolution.

shut thetv eyes to seVefg other. The bald,
EciyIl rights question Will no longer serve as
the vital principle OF party; there can be no
tolerable:p politics which does not stand as hand
maid to the religious sentiment OF the hour. or
this change the leaders OF the Republican party
do not seem to be aware. He describes the at
tempt in Massachusetts to secure recognition OF
temperance and workingmen's claims, and holds
that the effect has been good and only good. he
prophesies that within ten years this country Is
to be t led as never before. except by the slave
power, by the associated wealth and selfish union

dermine ssranglc political liberty, and that the

The report of the comptroller OF the currency,
about which so much has been said. is at last
printed. 1t is brief and unmportant, containing
but one new positive recommendation, and that
Is the placing under legislative restrictions oil all
the deposits which centre in New York from the
country banks, and on which interest is paid
them. He says these should be placed under
such restrictions rs would obviate the necessity
70. use by the depository bank. He adds that he
does not think sweeping enactment would have
much effect, as the city banks would find some
way to avoid It, while private bapl:s would be
unrestralned. Regarding the new law Of last
session for giving the West and South increased
banking facilities, the comptroller speaks as fol-
lows: "The amount Of capital to the Western and
Southern States not permanently invested or ac-
lively employed iE business Of various Kinds, but
available for the purpose Of organizing national
banks, cannot be large and the impression that
many millions OF cnsh capital were awaiting the
opportunity OF investment in natopal banks has
not been fully sustained. The provision made by
the late act Is undoubtedly ample for the supply
Of those States which have less than their proper
ton, and would suffice to supply oil reasonable
demands, even II not restricted In Its distribution.
The proprlety Of providing for the removal OF
such restrictions after the expiration OF one year
from the date OF the passage OF the act Is recon.
mended." The report then adds that there are
17s1 national banks in operation, and that thirty
one have been organized under the new law, four
Of which are gold banks.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-09-08
'RoDY Y JoNEs


The Bucyrus Forum, the Democratic
organ OF the COpperheads Of Crawford
county, advertised its principles in
Rowellis Newspaper Directory in the
following language:
"The Forum will advocate, with all
the vigOr and ability it can summon
TO its aid, the EARLY, ABSOLUTE RE-
PUDIATION OF THE ABOLITION
WAR DEBF.n
At q later date the editor Of the
Forum returned the following answer
70 question from the editor Of the
BucyrDs journal concerning the pO-
sitlon Of that paper in regard to the
public debt:
'fFhe Journal wants 70 know how
the Forum stands now on the qHes-
ton Offepudiation. We answer lust
where IL always stOOd-p0Hment Of
the JOnded debt % the United States IN
greenbdcks, the legal tdI-lOdying cur
Tehey of the country, or TepliOiGtiOn.. >"
The last announcement Il worse
than the first. There is no honesty 10
either. The latter Is worse because Il
e more insidlOus and eorrupting. The
fact is beyond dispute that copper
headism now takes on the type Of re-
pudiation and repudiatiOnists are as
numerous and influential, though
they are not put forward so frequent
" or so prominently, as when Val
landingbam was their nominee.
Those who desire to see tie nRtiou
FULFILL its obligations hOnOrably, and
ensure for itself an enduring credit
among the nations of the earth must
continue to vote for the candidates of
the Republican party. All Democrats
are not ayOwed repudiationists, but
all repudiati0nists are Democrats, and
all who are not are far too familiar
with those who are. Evil eOmmunf-
cations corrupt good manners, and
the credit Of the country is not safe in
the hands Of those who feel 80 little
solicituds concerning the financial
credit OF the Toledo
Rl,1de.

stealing Gravel

The conversation turning upon
the propensity to steal (Gcca1llt.
tate was the word more often used to
express violatiOn Of the eighth CON-
mandment,) which was much more
prevalent in some commands than in
Others, one of the officers said that
the most singular theft that he had
ever heard of had been committed
that day. Il was the stealing of q
grave.
Stealing a grave 70 was echoed in
astOnishment from all sides. fIm-
possible 20 absurd p Cant be
done p,
ssBut it was DONE" insisted the Of
ficer and I1ll tell you how. You
know that the --st Regulars and
-tl1 Oregon Volunteers are brig
aded together and encamped side by
side. Each Regiment had a death
yesterday, and to-day the regulars
made preparations to bury their man.
They sent outa party TO dig a grave
beyond the guard lines, ard in the
meantime uIey were making their
corps ready. Fhe yOlUnteers had
tbeirs al ready over hight and no
sooner was the regulars working par
y out Of sight after the grave was
dug, than the volunteers started their
