The Journalat Mr.. VOORHEES, for yot-
ing in February, 1862, against bill prohib-
iting military officers from returning fugitive
slaves to their masters. Abraham Lincoln
was, by the constitution, commander-in-chief
of the army snd navy, and could have made
an order at any time on this subject. 1t is
well remembered, however, that Mr.. Lincoln
ia his inaugural address OF March 4, 1861
announced that he would execute the fugi-
tive slave law, and he did so, both in the
district of Columbia, through his United
States marshal, Colonel Ward III. Lamon,
and elsewhere through his subordinate army
officers. Is the Journal willing to blacken
Mr.. Lincoln's memory in order to make a
point on Mr.. Voorhees, Mr.. Voorhees, was
only as pro-slaverY in that instance as Abra-
ham Lincoln. ~

THEoDoFE THOMAS has been invited by
number of the prominent citizens of Cincin-
natl to take the musical dictatorship of The
college of Music of Cincinnati" Mr..
Thomas in his letter of acceptance says:
This project is step in the right direction,
and Cincinnati is the right place IN which TO
begin. We want concentration of professional
talent. methodical training, such as we have
in other branches OF education, and musical
atmosphere. The formation OF a college, such
as you propose, realizes one of my most cher
ished hopes, and shall work hard to make IL
superior In all branches of musical education.
The faculty must consist of professors. eminent
in theiFdepartments OF instruction. With the
assistance of complete orchestra we shall
have that professional talent which will teach
the students how to play on all orchestral IN
struments. am ready TO begin all OF this
work at once and advise that the college be
opened during the coming autumn. Within
a few days shall forward to the board of
directors preliminary plan of the course OF
instruction desirable 20 be adopted.

GENnEsL MANSON is canvassing the state in
most gallant style, and his appointments
bring out the people by thousands. The
general speaks without notes, and as con-
sequence his speeches have a freshness and
viger that pile of manuscript to a very great
extent destroys. General Manson's mem
ory, exact as an encyclopedias, serves
him well in the canvass, and no
speaker of any party in the state
has larger fund of facts of history ready
for use en- the rostrum. In matters of
finance, currency debt and taxation, Gen
eral Manson's theories have a Practical APP
plication. and from. his conclusions there is
absolutely no appeal. He addresses his mas
terly arguments to the people, who compre-
bend their bearing and admit their force,
and while aahering to the principles LAID
down in the democratic platform, bis views
upon greenbacks. national bank biss,
etc, SO thoroughly meet the views
of the nationals, that in some instances the
leaders of that party have advocated the
abandonment.of their state ticket and going
solid for the democratic. But when a rad
ical organ makes false charge against the
gallant old general the whole state oight TO
see him crush the life out of it. In every
speech the general makes there are flights Of
elequence of the highest order 1t Is not
surprising, therefore, that General Manson
Is great favorite with the people or that
his election is assured By an Overwhelming
majority.

IKE Journal is unhappy over vote given
by Mr.. Voorhees, some fifteen years ago
against taxing whisky a second time in the
hands of bona fide purchasers. II this vote
was wrong, will the Journal please inform
the pssblic why arepublican congress and
republican senate, by overwhelming MAORI
ties, passed the law in that shape, and why
Abraham Lincoln signed it? Is the Journal
willing to have it understood that all the
leaders of Its own party were corrupt,
including Mr.. Lincoln, in order to make
an assault on Mr. Voorhees,? Were they
controlled by mercenary motives, and did
Mr.. Lincoln approve the bill under i'm
proper influences? The truth is, the bill
was one of the very few republican meas
ures that was correct. The whisky then I'M
der confederation had paid one tax, and
there is no principle of just government
which viii justify taxing property second
time. If it can be taxed twice it can be
taxed cut of existence.
The Journal is not fortunate on this point
of attack .-

IF there is ever an instance Of poetic justice
in the business world this looks like one of
them. OF course Martindale never cared to
aid in staying the storm of financial ruin
which the republican party had raised, and
which he was aiding TO urge onward, so long
IL struck only his neighbors, but now he
has the blessed experience of knowing how IL
is himself Just now Martindale is undoubt-
eddy wiser, put perhaps a sadder man.-To-

We regret that any of our contemporaries
should, even seemingly, exult in the finan-
cial downfall of Judge .Martindale. Words
of sympathy are more in consonance with
his fallen fortunes. Weknow, as does every

paper-the Journal-that under his sole pro-
prietorship and supreme control, it has

THE desire of thin people is to be as plump
as a partridge, and the one yearning desire
of fat people is to be lean, lean as Pharaoh's
kline. To achieve these two results has kept
tee two classes dieting and doctoring per-
petually; to attain the happy mean has filled
doctors purses and built splendid drug stores.
And yet the world holds the same old aver
age of fat and lean despite all the anxiety
and aggravation of soul and body. Some
times when the matter becomes one of
health, the aid of physician is right and
proper, and his advice should no more be
disregarded than in any other disease. But
when it is only because to be too fat or too
thin is not fashionable, when pride
and not health awakens the desire
to change the bodily appearance, then
the futile efforts become good sub
jects for ridicule. But the injudicious
use of medicines advertised 10 convert
scraggy beings into pretty plump youthful
looking personages, or to SO reduce the
superintendent flesh that corpulence and
obesity may vanish, is to be deplored, for
the results are often the most deadly in
their effects. 1t would be better to accept as
an axiom that it is never best to takeinto the
system drugs and medicines of whose prop
critics you are not thoroughly advised, un-
less they are prescribed by doctor COM
petent to give such advice. In the case of
Chicago lady the Times of that city says:
miss Latimer, lady very widely known to
the citizens of Chicago, died few days ago
from the effects, il was asserted, of poison
taken in the form of anti fat medicine. Her
physician states that although this alone
was not the cause of her death, as she had
for long time suffered fEom sleeplessness,
which finally produced cerebral congestion,
it is true that the anti-fat medicine greatly
aggravated her morbid tendencies and
'hastened the fatal climax. She was yerv
'corpulent, and was taking what was repre-
scented to be harmless vegetable prepare
'tion to reduce flesh. The deadly dose
proved to have been bromide poison"
1t can not be questioned that the lady had
no idea as to the character of the prepare
ton she was using She believed that only
beneficial results would follow, and yet it
FASTENED if it did not directly produce her
death. The fieshy are ever attempting
some remedy to relieve themselves of the
burdensome weight with which nature has
endowed them, and success has rarely at
tended these efforts unless they were direct
ed by a skillful doctor. Banting's system OF
dieting, rather of starvation, has done some
good. But better than that is an avoidance
of all food containing starch, such as pota-
toes, beans, etc, and q rich diet of broiled or
baked beef, fish, or the dark meat of fowl.
Taken in connection with this course are
various medicines known to the medical fra
ternity calculated to aid the stomach in
rejecting the fat forming food. and assimiiat-
ing that which produces blood, and bone and
muscle. At best there is danger in taking
any step without consulting competent
counsel. and If this can not be obtained re-
main as nature and good health made you
