its defense against the charge of ex-
travagance, before Congress and the
country, to Butler, remains to be de-
termined.-N. 7. San.
BUTLER was never selected by the
Administration as its champion. He
has usurped that position. IF the
comments of the Republican papers
throughout the country are an index
Of Republican sentiment, DAWES is
the champion Of the party, and in re-
ply 20 BUTLER he quoted Gen. GRANT
as sympathizing with and endorsing
his efforts to cut down some of the
extravagant departmental estimates
BUTLER is no more the champion oil
Gen. GRANT to-day than when he per-
mitted himself to be bottled up" or

the extravaganza of many of the
Heads of Departments is at war with
the desire and professions of the Re

A dispatch from Fort Wayne an
nounces that Colonel NORMAN B.
EDDY has declined the Democratic
nomination for Secretary of State. 1t
will devolve upon the State Central
Committee to place upon their ticket
some nan in his place. So far as the
feelings of the delegates to the State
Convtntion were indicated, JASON
Brown was the second choice of the
party for that position, but the Com
mittoO will not award him that posi-
ton. They Will. no doubt, place j.
B. SToLL, Of Noble County, on the
ticket in place Of Colonel EDDY. Mr..
SToLL was defeated in the COnven-
ton for Auditor. by Mr.. SHOEMAKER.
of Perry County.
Col. EDDY was nominated with the
hope that he would strengthen the
ticket by removing the odium which
attaches to the party in this State
because Of its conduct during the war.
The Office itself is not worth the
Colonel's effort, in doubtful cam
paign at Best. and he does not propose
spending his time and money for an
uncertainty, when, if successful,
the Office would yield such small
returns. We commend Col. EDDY's
wisdom. With the nomination of
Mr.. SToLL the ticket will be COM
plete-not Q solitary soldier upon it.

THE testimony of Mr.. CoRBIN be-
fore the Gold Investigation Commit
tee, on Saturday, completely dispels
any shadow of foundation for the sus-
picion, SO zealously promoted by the
Democratic press of the country, that
the President had any share, direct
or indirect. in the great gold conspi-
racy. CoRBIN not only disavows any
such connection, but produced his
books of account, to show what had
become of certain moneys which, it
had been alleged, went to some one
in the Executive Mansion. Probably
few rejecting men credited the re-
port, in the face of the circumstantial
evidence presented against E1ch q
supposition, at the time. Neverthe-
less, it is satisfactory to have so COM
plete and direct a refutation.
