WHO'S SPIKED?

q
Editor Chronicle :-ssW." of the En-
terprise certainly displays considerable
inability to read as W; Ii as a very little
regard for truth into his last weeks
article. He intimates that you have
charged Mr.. Clark with stealing or
something equally criminal. No sem
.sible person would read your article
with that meaning. Also that the peo-
pie believe. Clark guilty of misman-
agement. He regards it a sharp trick
to keep this idea afOat whether you
believe it or not. Conscience will never
be a thorn in WIS. side. Who "W." is
| don't know, but am inclined to think
that if the publisher of the Enterprise
is ashamed to allow the usual ear
marks of an editorial to go along with
the article he, had better not insert.
The Enterprise is commencing its old
game early in the campaign. The peo-
pie have not forgotten the course of
that paper last Fall. Under the colors
of neutrality it was dextrousIy handled
to throw frebrands into Republican
ranks while care was taken that the
Democratic party should not suffer. A
constant outcropping of the editors
political sentiments is noticeable, espe-
cially during campaign. If we. wish
for success this. fall, it becomes us to
watch pretended friends who would
stab us in the dark, as well as the open
enemy. REPUBLICAN.

}CLUSERHT.

Gen. Paul Gustave Cluseret, who has
been one Ofthe leading spirit in the Com
munist revolution at Paris,-who lately
held the most responsible position in
the insurgent government. but has
been despOsed, was in the Union
army here during the American rebell-
ion, in the the spring and summer o1
1862, and as, a Colonel on Gen. Ere
mont's staff, spent several weeks in this
city. He is wen remembered by many
of our citizens for the numerous stars
and orders wherewith he decorated his
Colonel's uniform, and for his idiosyn-
crasies of speech and manner. When
he came. here he was recently from
France, and could talk but little Eng
lish, though he picked up the language
with surprising readiness afterward.
He accompanied Fremont, and led
the advance of his army, in his cam.
paign up the Valley. He led a charge
at Gross Keys, and at other times and
places showed intrepidity as a fight
ing man and vigorous and radical IDEAS
concerning the art of making war
Yet he had been educated in a military
school widely different from that
whose maxims controlled the conduct
of our armies. He was socialist, or
Red Republican; and in most Of his
ideas, both military and political, was
very much out of harmony with hi:
surroundings. 1t may have been these
facts alone, or with prejudice against {
foreigner added to them, that prevent
ed his getting a lodgInent in the ser
vice. At any rate, he.left it with Ere.
mont's retirement and located in New
York, where for time he was the
correspondent of some European journ
ais, and if we are not mistaken wa:
one of the founders and the first editor
of the New York Nation. -
Cluseret was in the Crimean War
and there won the rank of Captain il
the French army. Naturally rev lu-
zionist, he fought under Garibaldi ir
1859. A few days ago there wasa pros
pect that his career was about ended
but though deposed and. arrested, it i:
likely he will not lose his life. We
shall probably not hear much more o
him during the present revolution; bu
being only forty-seven, he may live tc
see one two more, breed more mischief
and help make other pages of dark ane
deplorable history for France, before
he dies WheeIinq LateIIiqencer.

Robey for Treasurer.
To the Ohio State Journal

10 tne Onlo SLate JOURNAL.
We have noticed with pleasure that
DIR. Geo. w. Robey is mentioned fa-
vOrably in many parts of the State in
connection with the Office of State Treas
urer, and that he will he strongly sup
ported in the approaching Convention.
Office was between DIR. Robey and the
present incumbent. Now that he has
served for three terms it seems proper
that Robey should be his successor.
DIR. Robey's reputation as an honest and
successful business man commend him
to the people as one worthy to fill the
Office of Treasurer, while his popularity
and activity as Republican politician
should commend him to Convention
whose aim it must be to make as good
and as strong a State ticket as possible.

The Presidents Proclama tion.

s.. The act of Congress called the Ku-
Klux bill has placed in the hands of
the President extraordinary powers to
protect the lives and property of citi-
Zens. against rebel organizations. in the
South, "A fearful list of outrages and
murders, and an abundance of proof of
the widespread existence of an organi-
Zation to persecute men for their poll
tical opinions, even to the eXtermina-
ton of supporters of the national ad-
ministration, have demanded this
The national government must inter-
pose to protect its citizens, or subject
itself tO:the disgrace..o impotence. 1t was
fit that a proclamation should precede
action, and that of the President has
ftenlperatefy and properly given warn
ing. We think that no one will doubt
his purpose to use all the lawful power
of the government to put down this
reign of violence and terror.
81 And now it becomes proper for the
people of all parts of the country to re-
fiect ON the. course that will tend to
-abate this necessity for the exercise OF
military power, and that will create a
moral influence against this outlawry.
Gan the customry partisan, aecuS alton
that the law, violates the Constitution
do this? There was a crying need for
protection; the law was enacted; it will
obe executed. 1T will harm none but
they who make themselves assassins OF
domestic peace, Where these rorgani-
zed 0ptrages do not exist the law will
he inactive. To refrain from crime is
to be secure from its interference. Sc
easy it is to be protected from all the
fearful features that partisan hostility
has ascribed to it. Is such legislation a
shade upon the character of our gov.
@ernment? Is not the existence of such
an organized system of violence inf
nitely more reprOach? -
Is the attitude which the Democratic
party of the North holds in this matter
beneficial to the people of the South,
or even to its own party ambition
Now, as in the war, the expectation OF
the success of the Northern Democrocy
in the Presidential election is the. great
announcement to this increasing reign
of violence. Is il wise to try to cover
up the fact Of the existence of this sys.
ITEM of outrage, or to promise with con.
, fidence a Northern Democratic victory
or to- hold out the idea that when ii
