The Ohio Campaign .

II anything was wanting to show the ut
ter decentralization OF the Democratic party,
it is furnished in our special dispatch Of
last night, conveying the intelligence of the
nomination by that party, in Ohio, of Gen,
Tom Ewing for Governor. He is an extreme
Greenbacker-a red-mouthed inflationist.
and his nomination is complete surrender
to that interest. But it seems the Green
back Convention, which met the same day in
the same city, spurned the coalition, and
nominated a separate ticket, with A. Saun-
ders Piatt for Governor. The Republican
candidate, Mr.. Foster, will sweep the State
by 10000. majority.

the affairs of the Revenue Office of this dis

excess of 90c in the tax paid stamp account.

the morning Oh the I'd inst. Mr.. Ream was
well known in the Valley of Virginia, and
much esteemed by those who were acquaint-

courteous and courageous gentleman, and a
warm, tenacious friend. His convictions
were very strong and the earnest manner in
which he maintained them occasionally
lead him into unpleasant difficulties. 1t
was in one Of these that he received the
wound which caused his death. The shoot
ing itself, from the accounts we have seen,
was assassination, and Jameson, who is now
in the Alexandra Jail. will be fortunate if

Ger. Jos. q. Johnston offered resolu-
tioh in Congress on the goth for the ad-
journment of that body OH the 30th, as a
token of respect for the brave Uuion SOL
diers who died in defence of the nation
He refused to admit an amendment to ad-
journ until Tuesday. because it would des-
troy the effect OF the resolution. 1t was
passed unanimously, and caused much good
feeling. 1t has been iutimated that this was
flank movement on the part of Gen. John
stou. He is to be Chief Marshall on the oc-
casion Of the unwilling of the monument to
the Confederate dead at Winchester on the
9th. To prevent any unkind criticism of
this on the part of Union men, it is as
sumed that Gen. Johnston introduced his
resolution in Congress. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. We doubt whether
Gen. Johnston thought OF Winchester at the
time. The truth is, no American citizen,
who had been educated at the expense of the
nation and had marched under the star
spangled banner, for quarter OF a century,
could have any other feeling than reverence
for the old flag, and all it represents. We
believe Gen. Johnston is as truly nationa.
in his feelings and aspirations to-day as he
was in 1860, before secession, and when he
was in the service OF his country, and we
further believe that his resolution was Of
fered in spirit Of patriotism, and spoke
precisely what lie felt. Those who draw a
