urv Department and those of the
War Department in the matter OF
the sale of munitions of war, as re
ferred TO by Mr.. Sumner. After hav'
ing the financial part of the transac-
ton fully and satisfactorily eI-
planned, it was expected that Mr.
! Sumner would yesterday place him
self right on this point before the
Senate and country; but his failure
to do SO leaves the impression on
the minds Of some that he will ad-
here to all he has said"
And that is Charles Sumner ex'
actly. He is too malicious and i'm
perious to retTact a charge, even
when it has been proven false. The
sale of arms was made under a law
of Congress directing it, by the Sec
retary of War, and was purely
business transaction, They were
sold as were the clothes and other
equipments of a d sbanded army
for which the government had no
further use. Large quantities were
bought up by private dealers, and
sold all over the country. The arms
purchased by France were all pur
chased from private individuals, who
had previously purchased from gov
eminent, and the government was
in no way accountable for the fact
that they were sold at higher price
than it had received for them.
In this matter, the tables have
efectually turned upon the Hon
Charles, inasmuch as the motives
which prompted his action will be
laid bare. The investigation will
proceed, and will be keen one,
and Mr.. Frelinghuysen, who is
known for a careful, cautious, gen
tlemanly man, sees enough corrup-
ton in the manner in which the in
vestigation is proposed to demand
that the author of the resolutions
shall not be on the Committee at all
| The press report says that he re
viewed the paragraphs Of the pre-
amble one by one, and argued that
some of the statements quoted in il
were plainly false, and that none o.
them furnished foundation for the
allegation that the good name o
our Government was seriously com
promised. The investigation mus
now 90 on; but he hoped it woulC
not be made by the committee pro
posed in this resolution. Because
} by parliamentary usage, the chair
man of that committee (MrSumner
would be the one who had al
, ready assumed in this preamble th'
truth of the charges to be investi
gated. He hoped the matter woulC
, be referred to the Committee on In
vestigation and Retrenchment, th
Committee created for the purpos
of investigating. This was an err
of investigation. They were order
ed almost on every pretext, an
many of them, like this one, wer
quite unnecessary, but they woul(
continue until after the Philadelphi
Convention.

Nor satisfied with his previous at
tacks upon the administration, and
their signal failure, the Hon. Charles
Sumner. last week introduced a re.
solution of inquiry as to the sale ot
arms to France, imputing disreput
able motives to the administration
IN order that he might make scath-
ing assault upon it. The debate
which followed showed plainly that
the Senator had willfully misstated
facts, which he has not since had the
manliness to correct. although fur
nished with Official evidence that he
was wrong, The New York Post,
which is favOrably inclined to the
Sumner-Schurz clique, admits that
the debate had resulted adversely 10

THE Temperance State Conven-
ton and the Labor Reform Cenven-
ton, met in Columbus on Wednes-
day last. 1t is q little remarkable
that the Democratic State Central
Committee called a meeting at the
same time. Is it merely to co-inci.
dence, or does it show that the
three interests are all run by the
one class of men.

The Republican State Central
Committee have called the State
c invention for Wednesday, March
9th, quite early enough in all con-
science to suit the most enthusiastic
campaigner. The meeting on Wed
nesday the 14th, was largely attend
cd, and very enthusiastic in its en-
dorsement of the "Grant and Den
nison ticket. We have no objection
to the early movement. The po-
sition occupied by Ohio, places her
second to none in influence, and it
is important that she should early
show her hand that her influence
may be felt. The official call for
the Convention has not vet appeared.
