death of Hon. c. L. va1landigha,n.


In another column we publish the
telegraphic dispatches giving briet
account of terrible accident which
occurred at Lebanon, Warren county,
on Friday evening last,resulting in the
death of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham.-
This news viii be deeply regretted
not only by the many friends of the
deceased at his home, and throughout
this State, but by thousands of warm
and ardent personal friends all over
the Union, for he was man of nation
al fame, and though from his firm un-
compromising advocacy of what he
regarded as right, he incurred the Bit
ter enmity of many, he yet won thou
sands of warm and devoted friends.
Though young man, he had occupied
many positions of public trust, and
discharged at all times the duties of
the positions he occupied with marked
ability and with integrity. As law
yer, he stood at the head of the pro-
fession in the State: as an orator, he
had few if any superiors; as politi-
clan he was bold, consistent, and cour-
ageous; as citizen, neighbor and
friend, those who knew him best gave
him the credit of being honest, faith
full and true. His association with the
stirring events of the past decade are
too familiar to all to need comment.
A great man has fallen, but his name
will still live in history which In the
not distant future will do full justice
to his memory.

Is Mr.. Davis the Issue?

Mr.. Jefferson Davis has in some late
speeches declared that he accepts moth
ing, and for this reason we are vocif-
erously assured that we should accept
everything-more heavy taxation
more tariff robberies, more bayonet
elections, more tobacco-gorging, nag
driving Grant. The whiIom head OF
a conquered cause has stated that his
beating has not altogether satisfied
him he was wrong, and on this account
victorious people are to forget theiI
own interests and do nothing for theiI
own right. Such at least, is the posi-
ton of the Republican leaders. The
issue according. to them is not whether
the whole administration of the Fed
eral government is hopelessly corrupt
and in need of a new and purifying
management, but does Mr.. Jefferson
Davis accept the situation or does he
not? The country, forsooth, can stand
the tariff, stand the taxes, stand the
thieves, but its whole light is instantly
gone out unless it knows where Mr..

States has done is nothing but what

The Radical papers in the interest
of General Noyes for Governor, have
been blowing loud and long about the
great popularity of their favorite. But
the result of the convention at Gin
cinnati, his own residence, to choose
delegates to the State Convention,
don't speak very loudly in favor of his
popularity. There the friends of old
Ben Wade claimed the majority of the
delegates chosen, as also majority OF
the popular vote. Noyes' friends
claimed the same thing in his behalf.
So it would seem to be about drawn
battle. If Noyes were the universal
favorite his friends claim him to be,
they should have extended to him the
same courtesy the RAIDS did to the
"coming man" of this section-allow-
ed him to name his own delegates.
But it seems they are net all one way
of thinking down there.

Toe Radical State convention.

Is in session at Columbus to-day,
"wednesday for the purpose of nom-
mating candidates for State officers,
and making preparations for the COM
ing contest. The Convention will un-
doubtedly be a large and spirited one,
as there are quite number of aspi-
rants for the several places on the
ticket. The contest for the Govern
orship will be between Old Ben.
Wade, who is understood to be the
candidate of his Royal Highness,
Ulysses the first, and General .Noyes,
who is backed by the wing of the
party who think the endorsement of
the administration would have dam
aging effect upon their prospects in
the canvass. The chances are decid-
edly in favor of General Noyes. But
as we shall be advised of the result in
q few hours, it is needless to speculate
as to the result.
Tne, Convention can have but little
difficulty in laying down their plat
form. If the papers and politicians
of that party speak the truth when
they charge the Democracy with steal
ing their thunder, and wearing their
old clothes, all the members of their
party will be, not only disappointed
but terribly offended if they should
fail to reiterate the language of our
Convention on the subject of the Con-
stitutiona1 Amendment. 1t would be
a pleasant spectacle to read in the
forthcoming Radical platform the re-
solve " that denounciaag the means By
q0htch they acre brought about, yet
they recognize the amendments as be-
ing de facto parts of the constitution,
and no longer political issues before
the countsy,p and that they demand
for the constitution in all its parts,
these amendments included, strict
construction. If this is their "thun-
DER" their " old Clothes" inasmuch
as they are utterly opposed to any
departure they will not fail to graf
ify their friends throughout the State
and nation by emphatically and un.
equivocally affirming them. This
done, the rest is easily accomplished
They can ignore all matters connect
ed with the tariff, finances, the out
rageous oppression and plundering OF
the people, as matters of too trifiine
consequence to demand their atten.

ton, and predict its defeat at the fall
election. Let us have peace"

The Difference.

The Democratic doctrine is equal
taxation of. every species of property
according to its value. The Radicals
favor a system of taxing the backs and
stomachs, the wants and necessities, of
the people that the burthens of the
Government may be transferred from
the shoulders of the wealthy to those
of the laboring poor, and that the in
dustry of the whole country may be
made to contribute to the building up
of a few manufacturing monopolists.
The Democracy are in favor of on
currency for the Government and all
the people; for the laborer and the
office-holder, the pensioner and the
soldier, the producer and the bond
holder. This the Radicals assert is
greenback repudiation." If it be, it
is just. and is paying the government
creditors in the same kind of currency
which it received, and which it has a
right by the terms of the bonds and
the law to pay in return-the same
currency which the Supreme Court
packed by the Radicals for the pur-
pose have declared shall be a legal
tender for the debts of individuals
corporations and States which were
created before the passage of the legal
tender act, and which under the then
existing law were payable in coin only.
To say that this is reputation is sub.
limated nonsense, while the doctrine
of Radicalism to pay the public cred
itors twice what they loaned the gov
ernment is palpable and downright
robbery of the people to build up in
the country privileged aristocracy.

A New YoRK morning paper says
that Claflin and Woodruff, the noted
women brokers, have instituted libel
suit against Henry Ward Beecher and
the publishers of the Christian Union,
laying damages at $250,0OO. The
ground for the action is the publication
in the Christian Union, of which
Beecher is editor, of Harriet Beecher
Stoves new novel, My wife and ,"
in which appear two female characters
which it is alleghed are intended to
represent Mrs. Woodruff and Mrs.
Clafin.

spacimen Economy.

There is no theme so fruitful in self
glorification for the Radical press as
that of the reduction of expenses in
the administration of public affairs.
One would suppose after reading these
effusions that Grants administration
was model of economy and retrench-
ment. But when the matter is exam
ined critically it is found to be moth
ing but electioneering bosh. The
actual state Of the case is about this =
The expenses Of Congress during
the past year are more than one mil
lion dollars in excess of what they
were during either of the two pre-
vious years.
It cost two hundred and seventy
two thousand dollars more to collect
the revenues from customs, than it did
last year.
The miscellaneous expenses, which
includes buildings, have increased one
million of dollars.
The expenses of the United States
Courts are one million three hundred
thousand dollars in excess of what
they were during the fiscal year of
1S67-S.
There has been an advance of eight
hundred thousand dollars in the ex-
penses of the Interior Department
under the reformer Delano.
The increase of the pension Bureau
amounts in round numbers to eleven
millions of dollars.
The Post-Ofice Department cost
eight hundred thousand dollars more
than it did two years ago.
Here we have an aggregate increase
of expenses during the past fiscal year
amounting to sixteen million one hun.
dred and seventy-two thousand dol
| lars.
The claim that the administration oil
Grant has been an economical one and
has saved money for the people is not
sustained by facts. When we take the
amounts collected during the last fis.
cal years of Johnson's and Grants
administrations and deduct from them
respectively the war claims paid in
1867-S and the alleged reduction of the
public debt in 1870-71, we find that
during the latter year there was fully
one hundred millions understanding
the items deducted-disbursed by
Grants than by Johnson's administers
