A Day of Revolutions.

He had been q candidate for office
four times, twice for Congress, once
for the Constitutional Convention, and
once on the State ticket, but never
had he sought nomination, and rarely
was he consulted in regard to it. !

LEY.
On the outside of this paper we
publish an account of an address, by
Mr.. Greeley, at New York, on his ar
rival from his late jaunt to Texas,
from which we clip the above senti-
ment. Mr.. Greeley. like Henry Will
son, of Massachusetts, is of opinion
the Republican party has outlived its
day, and is no longer needed. In fact,
he says he is perfectly willing to pass
receipts with that party" that he may
go his way. It is wonderful what a
change a little practical information
sometimes produces in the mind Of
the most stupid and abdurate politi-
clans After q visit among a people
who have been foully slandered, perse-
cuted and bounded by Northern fanat-
ies for years, he is OF opinion that the
Conservative Democracy of the North
were right when they declared there
was no necessity for the late al Ii
the wise propositions of the venerable
John J. Crittenden had been needed,
and q little more patience evinced on
all sides, n million of the bravest
men of the North and South would
have been spared to bless their fami-
lies, and achieve honor for themselves
and their country. 1t is better late
than never. We are grateful, to see
Greeley and Davis meet on the same
platform. Let us have peace.

Death Of v-aIiandisham,

The many friends of Hon. c. L.
vallandigham, throughout the Union
were profoundly affected over the news
of the fatal accident which terminated
in his death about 10 o'clock on Sat
urday last. The news of the death of
Judge John Mcmahon, of Cumber-
land Maryland, brother of Mrs. Val
landigham, deepened the sorrow felt
for her, over his loss.
Hon. c. L. Vallandigham. was
born In New Lisbon in this State in
1922. He was therefore only forty
nine years old, and in the prime OF
life. He never looked more vigorous
and resolute than at the first of June
convention. He was admitted to the
Bar in 1843. In 1845 he was elected
to the Legislature, and was reelected
in 1916. In the year 1s47 he became
the Editor of the Dayton Empire, and
conducted that paper with ability for
three years. In 1856 he was a dele
gate to the National Democratic Con
vention at Cincinnati and was elected
to Congress over L. d. Campbell, and
reelected in 1858 and again in 1860.
In 1868, during his exile. he was NOM
mated for Governor and received the
largest vote ever cast in Ohio for an
unsuccessful candidate. He has fol-
lowed his profession since that period.
He was of resolute purposes and of fine
mental and educational endowments.
His ambition vas unbounded. He
has fallen in the midst of success, and
would have conquered his way to
fame. Let him rest in peace Mrs.
Fallandigham will have the profound
sympathies of thousands of friends in
Ohio and elsewhere, over her irrepara-
bic loss

Help Wanted from Gen. Grant.

The case of the County Commits
sioners IN Pittsburgh who have been
sent to the workhouse for giving Ii
nse and favors to people who had
made them presents, is one which
must appeal strongly to the sympa-
thies of President Grant. The Com
missioners were both of them Repub-
licans, and they were sonly carrying
out in their WI sphere that distrio u
tion of official favors in return for per-
sonal gifts which has been one of the
disting uishing features Of Republican
statesmanship as exempliied by Gen.
Grant in his administration of the
National Government. They are cerr
tainly entitled to be considered follow
ers of Grant in every n of the
terra ; and when their imprisonment
expires, and they are released from
their enforced eompanionship with
petty thieves and vagaboads, the Pres
ident cannot well do less thaa to pro-
vide them with good fat Offices, as a
compensation for the martyrdom they
are now undergoing.

Of Nebraska, the Hon David Butler,
has also strong claims ON the Admin
istration which should not be disre-
garded ; and as he. has escaped the
workheuse and p~enitentiaIy, there is
nothing to prevent his immediate ac-
ceptatree of amy lucrative position that
the President may in justice bestow
upon him. The late Governor was a
man of comprehensive ideas, and was
always ready to engage in any scheme
with money in it, from appropriating
school funds to protecting fugitive
criminals fer a consideration. 1t has
been shown that he distributed profit
able contracts right and left among
his cronies for value received /; and he
was so afabla that he was always ready
to '.'be seen" in regard to any matter
which involved the expenditure of
public moneys. So distinguished a
bribe-taker is certainly entitled to a
position equivalent. at the least, to
that of an Assistant Secretary of one
of the Departments.-N. Y. Sun.

How It Should Be.

Mr.. Greeley, in his recent speech in
New York said:
"He did not say that he hoped the
time would come when we of the North
would honor Lee and Stonewall Jack
son as we honor Grant and Sherman ;
but that he hoped the time would come
when all Americans, North and south,
will feel a just pride in the military
character and achieyments of Lee and
Stonewall jackson, inst as we of the
North now take pride in the character
and achievements of Grant, and Sher-
man, and Thomas. Possibly, added
Greeley, this is too strong for some OF
you but / can watt"
This is a mere play upon wcrls.
Mr.. Greeley should have accepted the
Interpretation, and boldly declared he
hoped the time would come when we
could honor Lee and jackson, as we
do Mcclellan, Meade and Grant. No
drawer and purer men everhad a place
in the annals of any country. They
were Americans of the heroic order;
and though they held to the theories
of the fathers in their construction of
the Constitution, while Grant and
Sherman fighting to obliterate
the safeguards placed in it to prevent
eneroachments by the central power
on the reserved rights of the States,
they, (Lee and Jackson, commended
for a principle. the absence of which,
will make this government a military
despotism. In all ages, human expe-
rience has demonstrated that the some
man power endangers liberty, cramps
human progress and checks the devel.
opment of free institutions. The less,
posoer is conferred ON the central de-
partments of q government, the more
it will be di6used among the people
and the less danger there will be of
corruption and the exercise Of despotic
power at the centre. The Chief Exec
utive and his Departments should be
held to a strict account for the faith.
full discharge Of all their trusts ; while
Congress should be watched by the
people with jealous care, and severely
rebuked for every attempt to usurp
unauthorized power.
