THE organ of the County Commissioners wants "facts, figures and names." We have given them, for months past, by the square yard, just as they stand on the records. The Commissioners, some months ago, sent a note to this office asking for fact* and names. They got a prompt reply,.and since then they have kept quiet, thus virtually admitting that the charge we preferred against th'em was true.

THE Boston correspondent of the New York "Tribune," in a lengthy dispatch upon political matters in Massachusetts, quotes Gen. BUTLER as unquestionably the strongest candidate for the Governor* ship, and Dr. LOKINU next to him. Gov. CLAFLIN still declines a re nomination, but if it is found tjiat his support is strong enough to beat BUTLER, he will be run will he, nill-he.

But he has no hope of ever being suffix ciently inspired to produce such a sensational poem as his esteemed professional brother, on lower Main street, brought out on a certain St. Patrick's Day, not long ago.

THE "Journal" of yesterday contains numerous able articles constituting, collectively, a powerful defense of the County Commissioners. We haven't space to reproduce all of them, but present a .fair sample of the lot:

The editor of the "Express" no longer indulges in country rides. Those new bridges DONE it.

LOUISVILLE doesn't "pan out" much on science, but it has a proper appreciation of the advantage of railways. That municipality has paid over her subscription of $500,000 in city bonds to the Louisville, New Albany and St. Louis Air Line Railway Company.

THIS mixing up of the negro and white races, is an outrage which the white peo* pie of this country should not tolerate either in political, civil or socialtlife.— Journal.

That is a severe reproof to the Southern Democracy, who were entirely successful in the "mixing np of the negro and*white races," and who never had any conscientious scruples against selling the mixture, even when their own blood greatly enhanced its market value. It was no uncommon thing for those "nobleSouthrona," in "the earlier and better days of the Republic," to support, educate and establish in business their legitimate children by the proceeds of the sale of their illegitimate progeny. The writer of this, had, when at school, twenty years ago, a classmate—a chivalrous 8outh Car olina Democrat—whose education was paid for by the sale of his half-sisters, and he didn't appear to think there was any thing .in the least objectionable in such an arrangement It was a profitable "mixing lip."

FOUNTAINS OF THE MEAT DEEP BROKEN UP

Towns, Trees, Men and Animals

gulfed.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.1 NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 1871. The following extraordinary dispatch has been received here from Savannah, Georgia: "A startling phenomenon has just occurred in Florida. A large por tion of Orange county has been changed to a lake, and trees, houses and people ingulfed. There were many witnesses of the phenomenon. They say the first thing that attracted attention was trees moving first in gyratory motion, some sinking gradually out of sight, the tops receding more and more rapidly as they sank and disappeared, others following, and, as they fell, revolving and describing area of a circle against thesky then the whole earth, as far as the eye could reach, sinking, and its place supplied by a sea of water, rushing, seething, boiling, with a noise as of mighty cataracts, and ever and anon casting to the surface roots and tops of bodies of mighty pines and oaks. The country in every direction is entirely submerged, and is now one vast lake. It is rumored that the town of Orlando is entirely swallowed up, and the whole chain of lakes from Apaka to Lake Conway are now united and form an immense inland sea. The people are flying, terror-stricken, from the scene of disaster."

Thieves and Receivers.

Here is an article from the New York "Tribune," discussing certain phases of official rascality, that should not fail of an attentive perusal. We especially commend the last paragraph:

In the painful and evidently thruthful letter which Paymaster Hodge addressed to his official superior, confessing his fault and giving himself up to punishment, there is one remarkable statement to which we hope it is not necessary to call the attention of the authorities of the Government. He says the money was lost in stock speculations in New York, the greater portion of it with one firm, which was acquainted with his circumstances and knew it was the Government funds with which he was gambling. Are there not two criminals in this case? The one, a weak and reckless dupe, tortured by wants springing from a false and extravagant life, ventured at first upon an indiscretion which led him swiftly into crime. He suffered losses in his speculations greater than he could pay, drew on the funds in his charge to make these good, and then embezzled more daringly to recover his deficits. He pays in ignominy and ruin the just forfeit of his offence but where is the cold-blooded tempter and accomplice who encouraged his crimes and shared in the profit of them? Major Hodge will doubtless give up his name to the Government, if he has not already done so, and then it may be tested whether the law cannot compel the restitution of this stolen money, or the punishment of the receivers. If there is nosuch legal remedy, it is a matter which requires the immediate attention of Congress to provide one.

It has also come to light, in connection with the recent disclosure of defalcations in the Post Office, that the officer inculpated has been in the habit of clandestinely lending the funds in his charge to business men. If this is not a crime by the laws of the land, both in the borrower and the lender, it should be made one as soon as the legislative power can act upon the question.

We have one word for the "World" about these recent scandals. That worthy paper is making itself very absurd in comparing these two crimes—one of them committed by an officer of the regular army and one by a subordinate of the Po9toffice—with the stupendous and cynical thefts of the Tammany Ring._ We hope it will go on calling the attention of the public to the contrast presented by the action of the Republican party and press in such cases, to that taken by the Democrats in the others. Major Hodge is at oncc arrested and cast into prison, and the property of Norton is made to pay the last farthing of his defalcations. The administration, the press, and the party call out for prompt and unrelenting justice. The public has long known from the columns of the "Tribune" and the "World" that the leaders of the Democracy in this city have made vast fortunes by misappropriations of the public funds. Yet the party which they rule indorses the stealing and shares the plunder. Their clubs and committees read the proofs of their rascality unmoved, and pass resolutions of insolent defiance and the "World" itself, doing bitter penance for its day of candor, sustains and justifies this gang of robbers. Major Hodge in prison Mr. Connolly and Mr. Tweed hobnobbing with the editors of the "World" at the Clubs, and, through uplifted glasses of Delmonico's Carte Blanche, taking roseate viewB of the present and pledging each other in the hope of better luck in the future—that is the spectacle to which the public gaze has been invited. We cordially second the invitation, and trust the attention may be general.

HERE is what the Vincennea "Sun" has to say to the proprietor of the Democratic State organ: "Disorganizing sheets" is what a scribbler in the Indianapolis "Sentinel" calls this paper and the Rockport "Democrat" because we would not defend Bright's robbery of the treasury. All right—we are glad to be counted among such disorganizes, and Richard Jesse will find fourfifths of the Democratic newspapers of the State are alike entitled to be called disorganizes. There is remarkable unanimity among the Democratic press in the opinion that Mr. Bright has been helping himself to the people's money without authority of law. Down here in Knox county such acquisition of wealth is called stealing, and punished accordingly.

President Grant.

Habitual readers of the Cincinnati "Enquirer" were astonished, yesterday, to see in its columns this respectful mention of the President:

The President of the* United States arrived here last night on a visit to his aged parents, in Covington, and also to his old home, in Clermont county, Ohio, tb renew the associations of his early boyhood and more mature manhood. We hope the citizens of Cincinnati and surrounding conntry will, without distinction of party, give him such a kind and cordial reception as the distinguished office he holds entitles him to. General Grant was elected by the Republicans, but he is the President of the United States, the most exalted poai tion in the world, as we believe. He represents the entire people and we doubt

•'rt

not our citizens will turn out and extend to the President an unbounded welcome, befitting his honorable position and the patriotism of American citizens.

The in Massachu-

New Departure setts.

From the Chicago Republican,] The Democrats of Massachusetts have adopted the New Departure, resolving that, "as the recent amendments have been acquiesced in by the country as a final and absolute settlement of the issues growing out of our ciyil war, the Democratic party accepts that spirit, and dismisses them altogether from political controversy pledging itself to maintain in good faith, the Constitution in all its parts and in all its provisions." It will be seen that while the Democracy in Massachusetts pledges itself to fealty, in all lime to come to the Constitution and all of its amendments, it does not admit that the amendments were properly ratified This omission is, under the circumstances, a virtual denial that they were so ratified or, to say the least, an admission that they were not: that they did not become a part of the Constitution by legal entitlement. The position of the Democratic party in Massachusetts, as well as in Ohio, Wisconsin, and several other States, therefore, is this: they accept as organic law that which they allow has no claim to be so considered.

It is evident that it is high time for the Democratic party to disband. Saying nothing of the intrinsic value of the amendments as legal provisions, it is certain that, of all the acts of the party in power, there is not one of them so distinctly, in a party sense, Republican, as the clauses under consideration. There was not a Democratic organ in the land at the time their ratification was proclaimed that did not profess to understand them, and did not pledge its party, through all time, to agitate for their removal. When the day arrived on which ground might with safety be broken for the purpose, the courage of the party has evaporated. It is afraid to admit and afraid to deny that the amendments were properly ratified.

What has come over the Democratic party? In its youth what party so warlike and controversial, so prompt to take issue with its antagonist for the time being, and so ready to prosecute such issue, year after year, through temporary defeats to a final victory? It is very certain that of its ancient courage there is little remaining. Is it because the old warriors of the party have died off, and none of the proper stamp have risen to take their places? or because the old ones became thoroughly cowed by the war, and still remain in the leadership to the exclusion of the younger and more plucky material? Or is it, again, because parties in this country have become so thoroughly corrupt that the only question that is thought worthy to be entertained is how to get into power the soonest, and how to realize the most upon it when it is attained?

Labor Reform and Education. The opposition of the Democracy to any amelioration of the condition of the laboring men, and its enmity to universal education formed the theme of the following paragraphs of Senator Morton's Cincinnati speech:

There is much said now a days about labor reform. I want to say that the Republican party is the friend of labor as history shows the dignity of labor, and that labor Bhall be free, is a fundamental idea of the Republican party. It is one of the ideas that brought our party into existence that labor should be free that labor could not be honorable without it was free and if a part of the labor of this country was performed by slaves, that by association degraded labor performed by even those who were fiee, therefore, it was a fundamental idea of the Republican party in its very origin that labor should be honorable, and to be honorable it must be free. [Applause.] Labor was the penalty first fixed for the disobedience of man: but by the mercy of God it has been made his highest honor and his surest reward.

Labor should be educated. The Republican party is in favor of educating everybody. The children of the laboring class should be educated. It is important in every point of view. By being educated they are placed upon a level with the children of the rich and opulent. They may rise to the highest honors in the State. Education is the great equalizer of men. Where two men are educated and have full possession of faculties, they may be said to be equals, though one starts without a fortune and the other with one. It is an essential principle of the Republican party which we have tried to carry out in the Southern States, which we are in favor of executing elsewhere, that labor should be educated.

Now the Democratic party can not be said to be friendly to education or free schools—not but what the majority of that party are in favor of free schools—but it is true everywhere that the enemies of free schools are members of the Democratic par:y. [Applause.]

The Democratic party is not very friendly to free schools, for the ve natural reason that free schools ve not been very friendly to the Democratic party. [Laughter]

Then, my friends, we want no permanent laboring class in this cvintry. In Europe there are p°rnunent laboring classes where the children of the laborer expect to follow the same business, and so on for generations where there is no prospect of change from one to the other, and scarcely any ambition for it. We desire that there should be no permanent laboring class. The child of the laborer may become a Governor, or the President of a nation he may rise to power in the State, while the children of the rich, by imprudence, want of industry, or good morals, may become the laborers of the country. It is the honor of our institutions that we do not cultivate and we will not have a permanent laboring class—a class of men that shall perform the drudgery of the nation to the relief of others, rApplause.]

TUX MUNICIPAL SQUABBLE. NEW YORK,

September 19.— The

positive refusal of General McClelian to accept the Coinptrollership has caused confusion with Mayor Hall and hia party of adherents. The Gen' eral stated yesterday that he declined verbally and emphatically to HaU, soon after reception of his letter, and in the afternqpn wrote a written refusal. He thinks the situation looks very gloomy, and declares he should be sorry if the alleged speculations of a few men could influence the vote of the Democratic party at large.

The appointment of Greene is one, which, in his opinion, will give satisfac» tion to all. The notification of the Mayor to the various city departments that he does not recognize Connolly or Greene, will have a serious effect at the pay department. It was announced verbally that no order of Connolly's would be obeyed, consequently employes most suffer deprivation of their pay until settled. There is a growing sentiment in favor of Connolly, and even the Times thinks he is entitled to some thanks now for placing all the documents in his office at the disposal of a Democrat whose honor is unsullied, and whose verdict the public ought to be thoroughly contented with, nomatteron which side it may telL It is stated on good authority that one of the members of the Tammany ring was yesterday endeavoring to effect a hurried sale of real estate belonging to him, that the property was offered at very low rates, provided one hundred thousand dollars in cash could be paid before Wednesdsy, the day of the sailing of the European

On Wednesday last police detectives made an arrest, which the authorities say had something to do with the robbing of the missing vouchers, but decline to impart any information on the subject.

The Tribune commenting upon the situation says, that the law expressly framed to protect the rogues of the ring, now in a most singular way becomes an invaluable machine in the hands of citizens to prevent alarmed conspirators from remodeling the administration to suit themselves.

ANTI-TAMMANY MEETING.

The meeting of Anti-Tammany Democrats held last evening was attended by about 150 prominent Democrats. Hon. S. G. Courtney delivered an address, declaring that a union of all Democrats should be affected to defeat Tammany. Some discussion arose by reason of the action of certain parties, who were thought to have come to the meeting in behalf of Tweed, to create disturbance. "N r" CONVENTIONS.

Greeley Republicans held conventions in several of the city districts last evening to make nominations for candidates for legislative offices.

LETTER FROM O'GORMAN.

Richard O'Gorman has written a letter to Mayor Hall, in which he says: It seems to me that in your future course in the matter of the office of the Controller, you should be governed in the matter more by consideration of expediency and sound policy, than by those merely strictly of legal rights or power. If it had^ been your desire to bring about the accession of anew incumbent into the office of Controller, you seem to me to have exhausted every legal expedient that could have suggested itself to you for that purpose, even at the risk of some apparent inconsistency. I now adviBe you not to make another appointment, to withdraw your notice to various departments, and to treat with Connolly as Controller. If you do not think him entitled to fill the office dejure by treating him as Controller dt facto, you will adopt a course which is in my opinion necessary to prevent financial difficulties and complications. 1

ANOTHER LETTER FROM O'GOBMAN. O'Gorman has written another letter to Mayor Hall, in which he expresses the inion that legal steps should be taken recover monies paid by the city on the ground of extravagant contracts, and asks for the Mayor's instructions in the premises. The Mayor replied that O'Gorman is the head of the law department and has full discretion to bring any action at law he may see fit, for promoting the good name of the city, or benefitting the treasury, and-leaves the matter, in^hb hands.

CONFIDENCE MAN.

ST. LOUIS, September 19.—A man calling himself J. C. Whittemore, was arrested here yesterday, on suspicion of being a confidence man, or forger. He brought a letter of introduction to ex~ Mayor Cole, purporting to be from E. D. Morgan & Co., on which Mr. Cole gave him a letter to D. Shouz, cashier of the Merchant's bank, Kansas City, but afterwards becoming suspicious that all was not right, had him arrested. The Morgan A Co. letter proved to be a forgery, and other letters found on him, among them one styling him a financial agent jof the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Rail* road, signed J. A. Raymond, President, which was also evidently forged. He also had a certificate of deposit in the Central National Bank of New York, and a small draft on the Lucas Bank of St. Louis, which it is suspected he procured to obtain the signatures of the cashiers. It is thought he may have had something to do with the recent bank swindles in Indiana and other places east, and that he designed operating at Kansas City and other points west.
