Hon. J. B. Stallo, Cincinnati il
My Deak Siu I haveob-
served with pleasure the aird
of Messrs. Cox, Matthews.
Hoadley and yourself, publish
ed in the Commercial of the 3d
inst, Approving the call of he
late Missouri convention, for a
National Mass Convention pf
Liberal Republicans,-at Cincr)
uati, on the 1st of. jfay next.
Being with you in sentiment
and opij-jio'ri, I 'i7;!l endeavor to
be there with you in person.
'It seems to be a foregone
conclusion that Geueial Grant
is to be the nominee of the Re
publican Convention, tp'be
hell .in . Philadelphia, Jtf '., iime
next. Considering the'vastot
ficinl patronage pertaining to
the office of President, md the
manner in which that patron
age has been employed, this
foregone conclusion "is not a
matter of1 wonder, although it
is to me, and I doubt not to
thousands of others, hitherto
members of the .Republican
party, ft matter of deep regret
and dissatisfaction, As for me,
whatever else I may hare been,
I have not been,- nor do' I in
tend to become, trie tdave ,of
any political organization.
Born, so to apeak, a member
of the old Democratic party, I
'.ontinued to act with it until I
thought, and still think,' it had
degenerated in to mere subser
viency to slaYelioIdmp; interests
and aspirations. For this rea
son, and this only, and failing
to hud any indications ot re
formation in this respect, I left
the party thereby, as to my
self, abandoning every pros
pect and hope of political pre
ferment in the future: and
thenceforward I co-operated
with the Freesoil party, until
it was merged, 6n the basis of
its own principles, in the Re
publican party, md .with that
I zealously acted unti
after the
inauguration of General Grant,
and up to the developments of
his personal and political ad
ministration', which are.the
foundation of my objection to
both.
Under a .Republican Gov
ernmertt, attention to politics,
must work througn the me.di
urn of parties. Rut parties are
rniulo to;
parties.. They are instrument-
unties not dictators, un no
other ground than this can the
existence of political parties be
ustihed; and the man who nd
he res to a party when it has
ceasea, in ,tne mam, to repre
sent, or has become antagonis
tic to hia own convictions as to
what is inst and wise, aban
ulons alike his freedom and his
duty, and voluntarily assumes
the position of a slave.
As to the' personal adminis
tration of Grant, I do not like
liitt acceptance, prioc to his in
anguration,' of munificent pres
ents trotn men distinguished
for nothirig but their wealth.
and then Appointing those same
men to oillce. I do not like
the shameful and shameless
nepotism;, his , apparently inti
mate and continuous associa
tions vith stockjobbers, his
project tor the purchase of oan
Domingo; his ostracism' of such
men as Sumner, Hoar and Cox,
and the substitution, as his con
fidential, advisers,, of men in
whose ability and political pu
rity, a .discriminating, - public
has far less confidence., I do
not like his official professions'
in favor ot civil service reform
when contrasted with the' fact
that he made the places of - the
only members of Jus ""Cabinet
who seemed to be heartily and
practically in favor of such
reforhl too hot for them; nor
do I like the revelations re
cently madeth'rough the me
dium of a reluctant committee,
as to the character . of the
administration of the New
York Custom House, nor .his
fulsome indorsement of its late'
chief.
Nor is the legislative policy
of those who assume to be the
special friends of the President
more acceptable to me. I do
Hot like a tariff of duties on
imports,, which, while it takes
money from one inan's pocket
and puts it into the pocket of
another, brings little or no
revenue into the public treas
ury; and which, while it osten
sibly adds to the wages of some
manufacturing laborers by
means of the increased cost of
living. Nor do I like the ap
parent effort and disposition
toward the assumption by the
General Government of powers
and functions properly appert
aining to the States.
If there , ever was a party
lormea wan an uonesc view to
the realization of a system of
just legislation and purity of
execuitye administration, it was
the Republican party; nnd it
is grinding to the sensibilities
ot those who participated in
its formation to find so many
men wfio had no sympathy with
the principles on which it was
based, but who jumped aboard
of it when they am? f that its
voyage was likely to be a suc
cessful one, now assuming both
the office of captain and the
responsible labors of the helms
man. The disruption of long-
iccustoined political associa
tions is always painful, and it
was not tor such results as we
now see that such men as Todd
and Bi'ough, among the dead,
and Matthews and lloadly,
and thousands of others, among
the living, stepped out of the
ranks of old nlliliations and fell
into fine with the cohorts of
Republicanism'.
The great battle against
slaveholding domination and
rebeHiou having been fought
and won, and the fruits of vic
tory ingrafted into the .Na
tional Constitution; we have
leisure to' consider other ques
tions less vital doubtless, but
still of immense importance to
the public interests; and the
people of the United States can
never afford to abdicate their
own sovereignty in favor of nny
sort of self constituted leaders.
Believe me, dear shy very
truly yours. . .
JACOB BRINKERHOFF.
Mr. Allen W. Thurman, son
of Senator Thurman, has had
to have one of his hands ampu
tated in consequence of inju
ries received while feeding a
corn-cutting machine 6u his
farm in Madison county.
One hundred dollars fine nnd
six month's imprisonment is
the sentence of a Chicago
Alderman for proposing to
receive a bribe. That's the
difference between an Alder
man and a Presisdent. If
Grant received six" month's
imprisonment, for every bribe
he receives, be would remain
in prison five hundred years, if
he was to live that long.
Liquor Suits.
Interest was manifested in two
suits under the State, liquor
lavv, before Esquire Kichols
and , a jury, at Portsmouth,
Ohio, the latter part February.
A Mrs. Hardin prosecuted two
saloon-keepers for three hund
red dollars each for selling her
husband licjuor. . In one case
she was awarded one hundred
arid eighty-six dollars, and in
the other sixty-five dollars.'
The city of Washington, un
der the corrupt I'eign of the'
ring of scoundrels who operate
under this shadow of Grant, is
reduced to abject wretchedness.
Frauds have beeu perpetrated
which shame the palmiest days
of Tammany. A comnvittee of
twenty-five eminent citiaens has
been appointed to wait upon
Congress and beg for a modifi
cation of the District Govern
ment all because Giant stand
by and protects the thieves who
divide with him.
Grant has iust three bund
red davs remaining in which
to serve I113 family as President.
ij.hu ui tiiuii wiiitt lie win
devote to re electing himself.
nnd the other half to scraping
togother his plunder, prepara
tory to leaving his free board
ing house.
Fifty-six laud grant bills
are now pending it Congress,
twenty-six be'ing in the House.
The total number of acres em
braced in the' garhts is consider
ably over two hundred millious.

or a grater area than Ohio, Iu
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin and Iowa combined.

The Ohio river rises in wes
tern New York, and joins the
Mississippi at Cairo, Illinois,
n the shores of Missouri.
When considered the Ohio is
1,200 miles in length, -and passes
through, or borders on eight
States, but its great tributaries,
the Cumberland and the Ten
nesseec pass, through two other
States, so, that in point of fact,
ten btates are traversed by the
Ohio and its tributaries. These
ten States contain nearly half
the population of the United
States. But deducting that
part of those States not inter
ested directly in the naviga
tion of the Ohio, there yei re
mains eight millions of people
directly interested.
The land-crrabbers are hard
at work in Washington, eud-
eavoring to gobble up what is
left ot the public' lands ht for
settlement; lue benate, a
few days ago, passed the grant
to the St. Croix and. Bayfield
road, over which Procter
Knott made the country laugh
in derision a year ago. It is
now working its way through
. i tt i t n i
tne iiouse, DacKecr. oy a power
ful rinr rebresentinrr the
combined interests of the land
grabbers. General Boynton,
correspondent of Cincinnati
Gazette, says, in a late' letter
that the land-grabbing bills
introduced in Congress up to
the middle of February will
cover two hundred and twenty
five millions of acres, or 351,
000 square miles. He then
adds these significant figures
A ' ... e
by way of comparison; "Uino
has 39,80-i square miles or sec
tion?, Indiana 33,809, Michi
gan 50,234, Illinois 55,405,
Iowa 50,814, Wisconsin 53,
924, Kentucky 37,600. Total
or 24,000 square miles less than
the area granted by the bills
which were pending two weeks
ago.'
A Charleston paper in giv
ing an account of a debate in
the Legislature of South Car
olina, says: Tuckei;, a dark
member of one of the Houses,
arose the other day and" said
on the State debt: Gent'men,
how is we goiu' to pay this
ithingr Don't the members
say we are barnkrupt V Howkcn
a bankrupt pay a debt? Say?
I say this. I say that every
man in this chamber and out
side of itv ia a counterfeit!?'
An Extraordinary Suit.
An extiuordiriary case was
lately brotfght by one Bartho
lomew. 0. Calviu against Mr.
Boutwall, .Secretary; of , tlie
Treasury ,to recover $2,000,000,
alleged damages for nonfulfill
ment of contract. The plain
tiff sets forth in his. complaint."
which he. seems to have. drawn
up himself, that he had, ascer
tain financial, scheme which he
had devised, and . which he
offered to the Secretary of the
Treasury in June, 18G9. This'
scheme had eigljteen points; all
of which are duly set forth irf
the" complaint. By it3 opera-'
tion a stop was to be put oh all
gold gambling; it waV to sate
td the mercantile .coranaunit
sjxty millions annually, to ex
tend the national cbinro'erCe td
the same amount, increase the
Customs' duties twenty fivfij
millions, save one hundred and
forty millions, by paying duties!
in gold instead of currencr?
and cause an annual saving to'
the individual public, in thq
! t .1 . 11 e s .
price or ineiraany ioou, equal
to twenty-five cents on the dol
lar daily, or an. annual, saving
to whole population collective-'
ly of $3,935,000,000 yearly, or
nearly once ana a halt the na
tional debt. In addition td
theie triflinpr items of the
scheme, there are numerous
others in-relation to contrac-?
tion of the currency, national
banks, srold deposits, etc. This
scheme the Complainant offered
to the secretary of the Jreas
ury, and the latter,it is alleged,
took it. and after full examina
tion of all its provisions, told
the complainant that he would
pay him the value of ii, and
give him a place of trust; in the
Treasury Department. All the
sales of gold, and the buying
ot bonds, the reduction ot taxe',
and the raising of loans, by tha
Secretary, the complainant
alleges, were the results of his
scheme; yet, notwithstanding
this, the secretary haa "refused
to pay him anything, or give
him the promised place," nnd,
therefore, he brings suit against
him for $2,000,000 damages.
The case was brought in tho
State Supreme Court, but re-
moveu to me unueu etntes
Circuit Court, as the co inn lain-
aut was a resident of this State.
It appeared,- however, that Gal-'
vin is a resident of Canada,
and a subiect of Great Britain.-
and that he only camfi to Jvew
York to prosecute this suit.
On this showing, Blatchford,
yesterda)', rendered a decision
remanding the cao back to'tlio
State Courts, where District
Attorney Davis will answer in
behalt ot Mr. iJoutwell.
A Mean Cuss.
Miles W. Vance of Findlay,
has established a mean cuss,
by ta'kiffg the Democrat for
about five years without pay
ing for it, ftud when we dun
ned him, refused to take the'
paper from tho post-oflice'.-
This we care nothing a'btfuf,
but he fails' to respond, to our
gentle reminder of the" amount
due, and b now indebted to us
in the sum of !) 23 at our ad
vance subscription rates. We
can afford to lose the amount,
but we' propose to warn the
public of d man who would be
guilty of 60 mean ft trick.
"Forewarned is forearmed."

The talk about moving the
Zaleski , Shops to this city
