An Important Private Secretary .

The "coming man" for President is
J. H. Putnam. While Allen was
resting at homs, Putnam called out
the militia and saved the country.
"By order Of J. H. Putnam, Private
Secretary Of the Governor of Ohio" "
is the way it reads. Uncle Williams
name don't appear. He was not pres
ent, .and it had no right to appear
but Is it strictly legal, now, for the
militia of Ohio to be called out by q
Private Secretary? We do not object
to 1.-THE Governor was not there or
thereabouts - the Private Secretary
was the man who did the work, and
1t Is all righ. for him to receive the
honor. But is it legal for him to call
out the army and navy-that is the
question p Columbus Journal.

to the desk. In low tone be said :
"Mr. Blaine, / am not very familiar
with you, and so I cannot speak as
freely as I would to an old friend.
But feel ought to tell you that you
made d-d fool OF yourself yester-

Ffom the Toledo COmmecial.l
Congressman foster and The SanbOrn
Job.

tThe full text Of the speech of Hon.
Charles Foster, on the Sanborn con-
tracts, in the house, was necessary to
a correct understanding Of the merits
of that effort, and of the long, patient
and effectual work of that gentleman
and his associate Committeeman. It
fills over fourteen pages of the ordi-
nary pamphlet size, and for terseness
of Language, directness Of purpose and
effectiveness in facts and argument,
has not been excelled by any speech
of the session. Throughout it shows
the mind OF the straight forward,
frank and fearless business man
without attempt at establishment or
other effect, except what might result
from a plain presentation of the case.
1t is proper here to state, that to Mr..
Foster more than to any oeher man,
is the country indebted fof the incep-
tion and effective prosecution Of the
investigation Of the SanbOrn scandal
an undertaking which, at the out
set, was certain to meet the full
measures of all the peculiar resources
of Ben. Butler, the chief friend and
patron Of SanbOrn. In the natural
course Of things, it might have been
expected, that so formidable q job
would have fallen to the hands of
some of the older members, long
practiced in such wcrk, rather than
to those of man of purely business
habits, and young both in years and
legislative experience, but so it was
not tn bo, and it is well that il was
not. A more thorough job Of the
kind has never been done in Congress
-One that reflects much credit upon
the principal actor and will result in
material benefit to the country.

SMALL BILLS.-While no doubt
we must wait for hard times to
right themselves yet there is one
plan which, if acted upon, would
do much toward setting the ma
chinery of business against mo-
ton. We are are all of us more or
less dependent one upon the other.
A looks to b for the money with
which to pay his obligations or in
crease his business. B is only
waiting until G and d take up the
note or pay the intesest which has
been so long overdue. They in
turn are unable to collect what is
owing to them, and SO it goes. This
is undoubtedly the condition of the
majority of our busin IS men, but
there are great many who owe
but little and could pay if they
were only so inclined, and it is of
such as these we speak.
Often it is only pure thoughtless-
ness that is at fault for this, or the
mistaken idea that such a small
amount will make but little differ
ence. It'is just there that the mis-
take lies. 1t is the inability to
collect their small bills that pre-
vent the enlargement of their stock
by the retail dealers, and this, OF
course, affect the wholesale firms,
en- whom the manufacturers de-
pend. The situation resembles
what lumbermen call liam"
where single log will often check
the passage of thousands. Only a
slight, but very necessary appro-
priation of force may be necessary
to removed the obstruction and open
the channel; and in the same way,
the payment ofso small sum as
SIS bill may be the one thin needed
to relieve the necessities of great
many persons. Then pay your
small bills, and be assured that in
one way or another, you will reap
the benefit of so doing.

The Morgantown Post, in refer

plomatic Representative of the
United States at the Court of
France at the opening and prior
to the late civil war in referring to
me, uses the following language !:
whilst representing the gov
eminent of the United States, as its
Prime Minister, at $1S, 900 a year,
he was negotiating for the pur-
chase of arms to aid the secession
lists in destroying the governm mt
which he was sent there to repre-
sent"
/ can submit in silence to the or
binary class of calumnies that dis
grace a partisan press in an cxcit-
ing canvass like the present, but /
cannot submit in silence to SO
crave an accusation as the i'm
parchment of my official fidelity
TO a government of which | was
the accredited and commissioned
representative. Th charge is false
and without shadow of founda-
ton to rest upon. 1t had its sole
origin in the mendaciouS brain of
some superservicable newspaper
correspondent, who seemed anxi-
Gus 10 furnish some excuse for the
outrage perpetrated upon me by
the government after my return
from France, when, without an
imputation npon my fidelity, and
solelg bee use aCc3 q citizen Of the
South, / was arrested and made
q prisoner of State. But the charge
as soon as made, although my
mouth, as a prisoner, was sealed,
was Indignantly denounced ~ the
Republican Paris correspondents
of the New York Times and Tj-
6,o1e; it was authoritatively deni-
ed by the National, Latelligencer,
then the official organ of the gov
eminent, and is repealed by the ar
chive5 and correspondence of the
State Department / should be
pleased TO see any man meet me
upon the hastings and present such
a charge or insinuation to my face.
The Morgantown Post has given
currency TO this lie. Has it the
magnanimity, or a sense of justice
sufficient 10 publish the correc-
ton ?
