The Prospect in Ohio.

The CIevelsnd Heru1sl (Republican) thinks
that "the object Of the leaders of tho Ohio
Democracy is to carry the Legislature, which
would give them United States Senator and
the power to re-District the State. The
leader" arc apparently acting in concert, and
though they can hardly hope to elect McCOok
they have the chance Of succeeding in what,
after all. is Ofmuch more importance to them"
We trust that the p!sn will succeed, to this
extent at least; and that Ohio, instead Of hav.
ing John Sherman continued in the Senate,
will be able to select worthy associate for
Judge shurman, who is conceded to DO tho
ablest statesman in that bc,lv.

The Issues Of the Presidential Contest.

Upon this question the Atlanta Sun, edited
by A. II. Stephens, has the following:
One of the great lice questions now, there.
fore, before the People Of the United States
is indeed the Constitutional question, not
whether State has n right to sccede, or to
nulliiy an act Of COngress-but whether
State has any right which the Federal Gov
eminent may not at its pleasure set aside.
On this alone, We are willing to unite with
all friends OF liberty in all the States of the
Union, in the coming contest, to put out of
power those who have the present control Of
the Federal Government, aud who have so
Wickedly abused their high trusts-whose
progress, if not arrested, will end inevitably
in DespOtisu.
1.-THE battle be pitched upon this ground
alone, with no soft words Of ursurpaiiOns Of
any sort, there will be no need of "leyies. -
Volunteers for their own accord, when the
signal is given, will pour fourth from every
quarter With that eHthMSGm for the cause.
which love Of liberty ever inspires, and which.
in popular elections, is ever the surcst learn.

A CONTRAST.

II there is any one thing for which the re-
publican party claims especial credit, in all
Its appeals to the people of this country, it is
for the successful administration of the FL
nances, and for sustaining the credit of our
securities at home and abroad Behold a
proof of It. France, after suffering losses and
mourning debts that amount to billions of
dollars, by the reverses of the war and the
exactiOns of the Germans, menaced with civil
connections and having provisional govern
ment in whose stability no solid assurance can
be felt, has just thrown heavy loan upon the
market. In the six hours designated for SUBJ
scriptiOns more than double the amount was
rendered. Nor was this simply an out burst
of French patriotism or the action of the
bankers of Paris. Other European capitals
and notably Berlin among the number
offered to take BY scores aud by hundreds of
millions. Yet at the very time that such
readiness, even eagerness, is manifested to Sc
cure the bonds of PROSTATE France, the Trea-
suTer of the L. s., Gen. Spinner. and the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Rich
ardsOn, each with a corps of assistants, are
preambulating Europe with Iuires of bonds,
seeking 70 dispose of a similar loan for the
U. S. on equally favorable terms, with Gbso-
IWte!y no success Irh0terer. Not . word of
comment is needed,

An old stagsr speaksi

CAssrUs n. CLAY, Of Kentucky, an origi.
nal and lifelong Abolitionist, who suffered
for his principles in former times, made an
address 70 the eOl0red folks Of Lexington,
KY, on the 4th Of July. Il was the largest
collection OF the kind ever seen in the State.
We make the following synopsis Of his speech
as reported for the New York World:
"He advocated the Union, the Consultation.
equal rights Of all before the law. He claim.
ed the interests Of the blacks aud the old
masters were the same; and that If they were
just they would regain their. former power,
Lot by revolution, but by education aud the
development OF the unequaIIed resources of
the South. He was against the abstractioBs
OF '9S, which led TO secession, and the force
bill Of 1871. chIeh reduced ts 70 RespOIis1u
He was In favor Of one term for the Presi-
dency, and would prefer the candidate who
came with the olive branch rather than the
sword, impartial suffrage, and universal ann
nesty'-Hotaee Greeley"
The World reporter, assuming that Grant
should be the Republican nominee for the
next Presidential term. adds:
"ShOuld Grant be the nominee of the Re.
publicanS, aud the Democratic party stand
upon liberal platform with liberal candi-
date, it Is underssOUd that Mr. Clay would
take the stump In every Southern State
against the Dictator"

An Injunction.

On application to Judge STEWART of the
2ud Judicial Circuit, an Injunction has been
granted restraining and Cnjoiniug the ''frag-
meut" of board of Supervisors at Shepherds
town, from discharging any of the functions
of board
This action, so necessary to the interests Of
the county, was obtained about ten days ago,
aud the proper process under it was served ON
the parties referred to aud also on Messrs.
POtter6eld and Chase, the late and present
Sheriff, who were made defendants in the bill.
An appeal from Judge Stewards order has
been taken by the defendants, but of course
the matter, although referred to the Court of
Appeals, cannot be heard or disposed of at
the present sessiOu-the appeal coming too
late for that term. The effect of the legal
proceedings adopted b. both parties has been
to suspend both of the bodies who have been
acting as a board of Supervisors at Shepherds
town and Charlestown, respectively, until the
people themselves shall take the matter in
hand at the October election, at which time
the members of the board are regularly elected.

NEGLECT OF DUTY.

No President has ever manifested go little
sense Of the duties and responsibilities, or so
much contempt for the decencies and pro-
Prieties, of his position, as Gen. Grant. No
wonder the cares of office sit lightly upon him
when the claims of business are always post
POned to the calls of pleasure. Other chief
magistrates have found it necessary to remain
constantly at their posts, but he devotes quite
half his time to pleasure jaunts and social re-
laxatiOns. With the advent of summer, him.
self and his horses speed away to the sea,
shore, and his Cabinet ministers, aud even the
heads of Bureaus, are not slow to initiate his
example and to disPerse themselves whittier
their inclinatiOns or the demands of private
business may call them. Meanwhile public
matters are in allegiance, the administration of
the Government Is committed to irresponsible
clerks, citizens having business with the tx
ecutiVe or Departments must patiently wait,
or treat with petty subOrdinates, and in the
end millions of dollars arc lost to the Govern.
ment and to individuals. There is row but
one Cabinet officer in Washington, and he but
recently returned from his homo, the equity
and inefficient Attorney General. The Pres.
ident, the other members of the Cabinet aud
many inferior officials are dissiPating at the
seaside or the fashionable summer resorts,
while the Treasurer of the U. S. aud the AS.
sistant Secretary of the Treasury with n nu.
merous escort of clerks are uDsuccessfully
peddling Bonds in Europe, all parties draw
ing their regular salaries, and the last two
heavy allowances, for travelling expenses in
addition. Will the American people submit
manner?

"a The HagerstOwn Free Press has de-
eided views on the new departure, as will ap-
pear from the following editorial clipped from
Its columns:
"Have we fought this long and just made
the discovery that we were altogether wrong
that We we're but poor deluded fools and
have been leading cstray our readers? We
can't see it. We do not intend to gulp down
At one swallow all the denunciation we have
heaped upon the Radicals and their policy.
We prefer to 6ght it out upon the line of the
Otd Democratic Platform-tO manufacture our
oHH thunder and not steal that of our oppO-
nents. But the most disgusting thing is to
see men who PTcfess to be Democrats contend
ing that the Civil Rights Bill, the Military
Election Law, the Force, or Ku-KIux bill, arc
dead issues. When they are dead issues, then
will the Democratic party itself be dead and
doomed. You may class US, Mr.. Old Eel
6olo, with JEFF. Davis, Toombs and the Ku
ikIuxes, if that will suit your purpose, but,
for decency sake, not with the departists.-
BE it understood that We are Stickist."

THE NEW YORK RIOTS.

The Orange Societies in New York city
having made arrangements for procession on
the 18th inst, the anniversary Of the battle
Of Aughrim, aud threats having been made
by the HiberniAn aud other Societies 70 in.
tsrfere with the proposed demonstration, on
the 1lth inst, Superintendent Kelso, Chief
Of Police, issued an order forbiddipg the pro-
cession. This order, however, was revoked
By Gov. Hoffman who justly admits the right
OF any body Of men to assemble psacsably to-
gether.
Accordingly on the 18th inst, the process
sion took place. IL was a small affair at best,
numbering scarcely three hundred, aud was
well guarded by the police aud military along
the line of march. True to their avOwed in.
tention the mob attacked the procession at
several points within the city, having secured
arms by breaking into several arm0ries, but
IN every instance were dispersed with loss
The mob were fired upon by the military,
near the corner Of TWenty-SiEth Street aud
many OF them killed and wounded. Occa-
sionaI disturbances occurred during the dsy
bat this was the most serious part Of the If.
fair. The World says:
There was an attempt to mob the house Of
an Orangeman in TWentieth.street last night,
but the police dispersed the rioters. Other.
wise the city was quiet after shutdown. The
troops remained under arms all night at the
armOries. Our list of dead foots up 81, aud
Of wounded lOS. The names of the latter are
given. Some Of the dead bodies at the
MOrgue are not yet identified. Among the
victims of the fatal firing on Eighth avenue
were Mr.. Henry G. Page. manager of the
Grand Opera House, and Sergeant Wyatt, Of
the Ninth Regiment. Colonel Fisk was
wounded by q brickbat. The OrnGe demon.
stration in Jersey City passed OF without mo.
