A Clevelander for President

The Washington Sunday Herald,
edited by Dom Piatt and George
Alfred Townsend, has hoisted Judge
r. P. Ranney of this city, as Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency of
1872. After discussing various can
didates for that honor, the article in
question says:

the Ohio Supreme Court, by name,

man in it. He has never been sol
icitor of office, though always worth

is he that few have ever thought OF
associating the lug and barter for Of

the issue. He is broader man thar

WE have always considered Mr.
Creswell not only the ablest, but
since the resignation of General Cox
the most honest and incorruptible
member of the Cabinet. We may
not indorse his political career in
every respect-indeed, we very en-
phatically do not indorse him in all
he has done, since 1S60-but whether
agreeing or disagreeing with him
politically, we have always recogniT
cd in him a man very far removed
above personal corruption, and utter
ly incapable of a personal dishones
act. We are very confident that, often
as he may have erred in pubic life
his motive has never been peeuniary
aggrandizement. Neither his am

in that direction. And we say to
those who accuse him Of corrupt con

There was general expression con
corning the system of taxing asso-

/
About half past six O'Clock last
Saturday evening, coal oil lamp in
the National Desposit Bank, explod
ed, while DIR. Hackadorn, the Cash
ier, was at his supper, and but for
the prompt discovery of the accident,
destructive fire might have resulted.
On Saturday last. dispatch from
Marion, Ind, to Judge Mackenzie,
announced that his younger brother,
George Mackenzie, in the employ OF
a Railroad Company running through
that place, had been badly hurt by
the cars, and few hours later sec
ond dispatch brought the intelligence
that he had died of his injuries, about
9 o'clock Saturday A. nj. From what
we learn of the matter, it appears
that deceased was caught in q cattle
guard while working around a NOV
ing train, and before he could extri-
cate himself. the train was upon him,
passing over his legs.
Our community was startled, last
Saturday morning by the announce
ment that Mary Organ, a young lady
living with Rev. 1. r. Henderson.
had fallen down stairs, and killed
herself. The particulars Of the sad
affair may be summed up as follows ::
About quarter past seven O'Clock,
deceased, who had been sleeping up
stairs, got up, and taking glass
lamp. which was not lit, started to
come down stairs. While on the
stairs, it is probable her foot caught
in the carpet, and precipitated her
head first, down some eight or nine
steps, and in the fall she struck the
lamp, causing it to break, and piece
of the broken lamp penetrated her
neck on the left side. just under the
ear, cutting off the veins and arteries,
50 that she died from the loss of
blood in very short time. The fall
was heard by the other inmates of the
house, who at once ran to her assist
ance, and did all that was possible
under the circumstances to aid her.
Deceased was insensible from the
moment of the fall, and not over two
or three minutes elapsed from the
time she was picked up, before life
was extinct.

How the Alabama Claims will

A delusion exists in some quarter.
that the payment of the SO calico
Alabama claims by England woull
put-into our Treasurya large sum o
money. On the contrary, were Eng
land to hand over the whole amoun
without abatement or et-off, mo-
a dollar would go into the nationa

that not farGhing of the claims be-
longs to the United States Govern.
ment. The ships and merchandise
destroyed or captured by the Ala
bama and other Confederate cruisers
for which we seek to make England
resonsible, were owned by private
individuals, the larger part of whom
were insured against war risks. In
the most of these cases the insurance
money has probably been paid, and
the claims to that extent belong to
insurance companies, outside ofwhich
stand those claimants who were not
insured, or whose losses exceeded the
insurance In no class of these
claims, therefore, has the Govern
ment any pecuniary interest; and it
enforces them simply for the reason
that it is bound to protect the COM
merce of the citizens.
Indeed, in the mere pecuniary
aspect of the affair, it is almost certain
that the ultimate effect of the High
Commissioners created by Queen
Victoria and Gen. Grant will be a
considerable lose to the American
Treasury. After round of good
dinners, the accounts of the respec-
tive parties will be made out some
thing in this wise: The American
Commissioners, with many genufex-
ions, will present the Alabama bill,
which the British Commissioners,
with series of grimaces, will re-
ceive; and after coming to the con
clusion that it is confoundedly long
one, they will cut away at it with the
intent to reduce it to the smallest di-
m ensions. The British Commission
ers, with tenders of distinguished
consideration, will present as their
Offset to the Alabama bill q list of
claims for manifold grievances, real
or imaginary, Governing sundry de-
cades of years, which the American
Commissioners will receive with
very wry face and go right to work
to are down to the lowest possible
figure. After an enormous consump-
ton of champagne and foolscap. an
account current will be stated and a
balance struck. The American claims
will be set down, for example, at thir
ty millions of dollars, and the Brit
Ish Offset at twenty five millions. leav-
ing balance against John Bull of
FIVE millions, which, in case the set
tlement is properly ratified, his Chan
cellor of the ENchequer will proba-
