For some reason quite inexplicable,except upon the hypothesis that the soldier who walked over "seven miles of corpses" at Gravelotte, is envious of G. WASHINGTON'S military renown, the Cincinnati Commercial is prosecuting a systematic warfare upon the good name if the Father of his country. A short time ago it tried to convict him of having been the father of a miscellaneous assortment of illegitimate progeny. Now, it rakes up all (he mean things that were said or'written ftbout him during his life. IIELMBOLD'S organ appears to have soured on almost evorybody whom the world respects. It is painfully evident that MURAT needs ediccation. lie should consult-his great patron, HELMBOLD, or possibly ~he inky find relief by careful obedience of sundry minute directions given in his paper of the 14th inst., first page, near the bottom of the second column.

As WE supposed, the Radical newspapers are expressing deep regret in conse~ quence of the melancholy death of Mr. Vallandighlimr—
EtanMlDltkhirtitr:
And therein they present a striking contrast with the Democratic newspapers, which set up a iindish chuckle over the corpse of every prominent Republican who dies. Republican newspapers are honest in "expressttg ^deep *r the sad fateof VALtA^iiGHAjt. Dew$cratic newspapers ^werG^nSHess hones, itv their rejoicings over the death of STANTON. Republicans cannot bear malice in the presence of death, but freely forgive the men who tried to destroy the government. There are Democrats who cannot forgive, even at the portals of the grave, those who helped to save their country.

that the County Com

Any such proceeding is unlawful and wrong. The Commit (doners have no authority to grant any orders on the Treasury except when legally sitting as a Board. We presume Mr. RoYC'Ewill pay no more attention to this order than he has heretofore done to others of A similar nature.

IT is stated that arrangements are being rapidly made to complete the Indiana & Illinois Central R. R. Work has been commenced at three points along the line, and a Urge force ia engaged on the stone work of the Wabash river bridge. Bids for all the work now to be let have been received, and are of a highly satisfactory character- A meeting of the board of directors, with the capitalists interested, is called for the 21st, to complete and close all the preliminary arrangements, and the bids will then be decided on and let immediately.

of Connty Commissioners. *?he Board of County Commissioners adjourned their June term, onyesterday, after a session of nine days. This is a singular fact when it is remembered that they hve remained in session six days longer before reaching the legal limit, a^tthe March term, the reoord •hows (be session to have occupied twelve day*. Jhe jiuuiber of days therefore occupied by Both '.he sessions of the "present hoard, pince M^rch 1st, 1871, is

BALUING. $120, Mr. TUUEBLOOD, for fervicep, in( ?wyilfon to passing livery bills reaching perhaps $50. At (he March session they allowed themselves as follow^ Mr. BLAKE $100, Mr. BALDING.$181. Mr. TKUEBLOOD $180—beside a respectable livery account^ Fqr

days services,

of March last the Com
missioner! have therefore drawn from the Treasury
three hundred dollars
the legal
each, when
per diem
would only amount to
eighty-four dollars
each. It may be claim
ed that these gentlemen put ia numerous days each, in vacation,, between the sittings of this Board, inspecting bridges, &c, but so far as the law stands, this sort of servica, if rendered, is voluntary on their part, and there is no provision for drawing pay therefor.
We can find nothing in the statutes authorizing the County Commissioners, in vacation either as a board or singly to go roaming over the county, hunting places to build bridges, or under any other pretext of county business, and charging the' county for their time and expenses while thus engaged. The County Commissioners are a corporate body, and sit only at stated times, to perform certaiu legal duties. They have no powers outside of their corporate sessions, but are like other citizen-* when not sitting as a board. It. will be much better for the county, in the future, if its Commissioners will transact all the county business publicly, at the regular sessions, for which there is ample time given by law, and cease meddlingtherewith, us individuals, in vacation. The people are already sufficiently bled with taxes. They do not care to furnish the Commissioners with elegant equipages with which LO explore the county, and if possible find places to spend money needlessly and make future inspection jobs, and besides pay for such services. Their duty is to attend the public sessions of the board, and there transact such business as is legally brought before them, draw their
per
ard.
dierft for the number
of days so engaged, and there their occupation ceases. It is not their province to "hatch up" schemes involving the outlay of money, such as building a new court house, buying the Wabash bridge, build* ing iron bridges at enormous cost over insignificant streams, &c., Ac. The ordinary routine business of thejeounty is sufficient to occupy (heir attention, unless weightier matters are pressed upon it by petition of citizens. We trust they will quit playing Countv Commissioner, during the present vacation, and quietly wait until the law again vests them with authority, on their assemblage as a board, at the Auditor's office of the county, on the first Monday of September next. Let the
cease, anyhow, till then!

Madison Belles.
The Louisville
Commercial
of ilonday
has this "first rate notice" of Madison belles: Ruddy-cheeked, rosy, robust, healthylooking girls were on the streets Saturday shopping. A sprinkling of freckle and tan on healthy faces and a general appearance of sell-enjoyment led us to inquire where they came from. We learned that ihey comprised part of a large excursion party et ladies and gentlemen from the sleepy, steady, reliable town of
TBRRE-HAUTE,
rA*%
Madison, Ind. We hope (and so do the dry goods merchants) to see their honest, good-looking faces often on our streets. They don't care much for chignons or paniere or Grecian bends, and are sensible girls, and will make good wives and mothers.
Poets and Arerage People. Will some one please find a distinguished man or woman who does ordinary things like ordinary people? We are tired of being told that Auber slept only four hours and ate only one meal a day that Dr. Johnson was great on legs of mutton and drank a score of cups of tea at a sitting that lJope lay in bed for days together, unless he had stewed lampreys for dinner tha( ftheridan wrote with candles burning all around that Goldsmith was given to sassafras, and that Milton couldn't go to bed before smoking a pipe of tobacco that Shelley avoided flesh, and that Byron feasted on fish. We are afraid that dwelling on eccentricities like these favors the idea that they were virtues inseparably joined to genius. It would be interesting to be told of a poet who breakfasted about eight, lunched at one, dined at six, retired at midnight.rose .. at seven, and went about his business like ordinary men. There are those who will forthwith hurl William Cullen Bryant at us as a shining instance of respectable ordinariness in personal and social habits but Mr. Bryant is almost the soli* tary instance that can be set off against the host of brilliant spirits who, on the ground of their ineffable brilliancy, ner« er did anything like ordinary men. Aver* age peopie will have a much stronger tendency than they now have to respect genius in the embryo when they see it united wiih practical common sense in the natural individual.—New

LETTER FROM CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. DAYTON, O., June 20.—The following letter from Chief Justice Chase was received by the lateC. L. Vallaudighara a few days after the promulgation of the famous new departure.
WASHINGTON,- May 20,—My Dear Sir: —I have just read the resolutions of the Montgomery county, Ohio, Democratic Convention, reported by yourself, together with your remarks, and those of Mr. Houk. You have rendered great service to your country and party, at least such is my judgment. May God bless you for it. Nothing can be truer than your declaration, that the movement contemplated by the resolutions is restoration of the Democratic party to its ancient platform of progress and refornf. I know you too well to doubt your conrage, er your fidelity to your convictions.
Very truly yours 8. P. CHASE,
To Hon. C. L. Vallandigham. FONERAL OF VALLANDIGHAM. The funeral of the late Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, to day, was of a most imposing character, and was probably the largest which has ever taken place in the State of Ohio. The procession was about two miles in length, and was composed of persons of all political parties and walks of life. Business in many parts of the city was suspended during the passing of the funeral cortege. The county and city buildings, together with many private residences, were draped in mourning. The pall bearers were Hon. A. G. Thurman, Hon. S. G. Cox, Hon. Geo. E. Pugh, Hon. George W. McCook, Hon, Judge Gilmore, Gen. O. C. Maxwell, John Howard,Samuel Craighead, Elihu Thompson, D. K. Boyer, W. H. Gillespie and D. A. Houk. Many distinguished gentlemen from all parts of the Union were present, and participated in the ceremonies. Chief Justice Chase was prevented from being present by ill health. The funeral services at the residence were conducted by Rev. E. P. Wright, of the Episcopal Church. He was buried by theMasonic Fraternity, Grand High Pnest Chas. C. Kiefer officiating.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Ex-Con-gressman Bowen convicted of bigamy and sentenced to two years imprisonment, is still confined in the countv jail here. He does not sufier mnch 'from rigorous confinement, being furnished with the best room in the building, allowed the freedom Af the jail and grounds, furnished wit1 teats from his own home daily and visi '1 by numbers of friends. The^general belief is that he will be speedily pardoned. The case was favorably consider* ed in Cabinet meeting on Friday, and the District Attorney recommended pardon. The papers are in the hands of the Attorney General and will be forwarded to the President to morrow. The friendsv of Bowen express the positive belief that he will get his seat in Congress from the 2d district of South Carolina, over DeLarge, colored, the silting member. His friends also say that threq managers of the elections in a county where DeLarge was given by them a majority of five thou sand, having been tried upon an indictment for fraud, and convicted, there can be no further difficulty. They also say that wholesale stuffing of the ballot box can be proved beyond a doubt, that still other evidence remains also, that other managers are now on trial for the same offence,with a strong likelihood.'of conviction, which will go to make DeLarge's election invalid.
APPOINTMENT.
Major Louis E. Johnson, son of Hon. Reverdy Johnson, has been appointed U. S. Marshal for the District of South Carolina.
