Tho Cincinnati Commercial, in comment* Ing upon a recent speech of Senator Wadb, at Sandusky,Ohio, remarks: " Wo should bo very sorry to believe that tliere are nearly two hundred thousand trai* tors In Ohio. If there are. we fear that a majority of the white men in this country, in. eluding all the States and districts, are traitor., and that would be to us a very unplev eant reflection. Senator Wade may be of the persuasion, as many are, that rudeness of speech Is Identical with candor, and that those who do not uso tho hardest terms and present always the most unfavorable views of all opposing sentiments, aro Insincere and untrustworthy.” Such are tho kind of arguments that aro used by the radical orators and press generally. Tho hard words to which the Commercial refers accomplish no good purpose. In his speech at Sandusky Senator Wadk thus classifies nearly, If not rjulto one-half of tb« people of his own State who voted for VaLi.aNPimMM forOovornor in iscii: ” Did wo not plead with them to abandon their Infernal organization, and come over to iho supportof tho government? One hundred and eighty thousand voters stood bv him, and would have made him (Jovernor. They would have turned tholnlluenco and power Of our noble State from the government and given tii. m to the enemy. What can 1 say? Shall 1 hold my breath before such delinquency— Mich terrible treason? if you want a smooth, glib speaker, who will hush up theso things, you must not call upon me. [Dreat cheering.] W’auk U the last man who should have uttered such sentiments. Years before the war he advocated tho “pernicious doctrine” of States rights In Ita extremost fjrni. In a speech in the Senate ho told iho Southern Senators that if they thought tho Union iniringod Upon ihctr rights he was tho last “•-* would expect to remain in It, \\ ith what consistency then can a man with such a record, after having repeatedly and deliberately avowed the sentiments wo havo attributed to him, charge one hundred and eightythree thousand voters of Ohio with ‘‘terrible treason?” If all was true that \Va1>k charged, so far as he was concerned, and thoso who had acted will: him, tho accusation should caver them wdli con fit-ion of face. We say if all was true that Wai>r charged Upon the people of Ohio who voted tho Democratic ticket in isi;:;, ho could make uo more out of it than that they were carrying the doctrines he had advocated, and which he said were based upon the principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, to their legitimate conclusions, IfWanK was correct in his avowals as to tho theory of ottr government, then the war can not bo justified and the people would havo the right to repudiate all that was done under it by tho party in power as acts of usurpation. And so If tho doctrines which l.tttcor.N maintained in bis speech in Congress, InJ^H, upon the Texas question, are in harmony with the principles which underlie our Oovernmcnt, then, as Tiur*. Htkvknh says, we must go outside of tho Constitution to justify the war and it could not have boon treason to oppose If, for tho prosecution of It was a revolutionary act which success only could justify or excuse. The war was a contest of ideas and opinion*, or perhaps we may better say a conflict as to the character, tho scope, tho powers, and the administration of Government. Tho Democracy had ever fought against tho conceatratio iof powef in tho General Government as dangerous to the liberty of the citizen, and they were and aro unwilling to suircndcr the c'miction. It is ridiculous to say thal the Do in ic racy as a party opposed the Government lim ing Iho war, or that tbo one hundred and oi::lity-tlireo thousand Democrats of Ohio who v.do I for .Mr. Y au.anpigiiaM in were enemies to their own country, In whoso wolf »rc, honor and glory, they had just as much interest, and just as much at stake as tho party In power. If the conllict had been with a foreign enemy the case would have been dMTerrnl, but it was an Internecine strife, a contest, as It was conducted, for tho mastery of a party tint had obtained possession of tho Government and that strove, not for tho preservation of tho Government, but tho perpetuation of Its rule. If It had been otherwise, the termination of tho war would havo restored unity, peace and concord. That this has not been ao compllshod is tbu best proof that partlzan supremacy has been the obstacle in the way of restoration. And tbo party in power will not permit restoration, if it can prevent it, unless it shall l>e upon a basis that will perpotu■do its ascendancy in tho administration of the Government, no matter what may be the sacrifice to tho material interest* of tbe country. Now .Mr. Wadk and the party with which be has acted are what is termed by them “loyal” to the Government, because they havo possession of and control it. Hut this same party was disloyal while they wore In the minority, for they advocated tho very doctrines which they now pronounce “ terrible treason.” .Irrk. Davis, Hoiikrt TOOMBS, John <\ liitEcKiNuiDOK.trad tbe men who cooperated with them never uttered stronger disunion sentiments than did Wadk, Tuir.Mrs, and the lenders of the radical party, for we are now told by the latter that tbo “pernicious doctrine” of state rights which they advocated as strenuously as tbe former, contained tbo seeds of dissolution—that II it was practically enforced by a dissatisfied State, it would of necessity destroy tho Union. l,ooklng upon the queslion as we have presented it, tho denunciations of tho radical press and orators lose all tbclr force, and tbe terms "treason” and “traitor” which they use so glibly, are manifestly tho outpouring of the malignant party spirit or hato which controls them. Tho test of loyalty is fidelity to tbe Constitution, and they only are disloyal and commit the crime of treason who trample upon that higher law of the land, framed to protect tbo rights and liberties of the humblest citizen. Judged by that standard, and it is tbo only standard of judgment as long ns the Constitution lives, tbe disloyal and the traitors are those who havo usurped power and overridden the higher law to strike down the rights and tbo llbrrtlea of tbe people. ■*r0fligNcy of fflr. Ntonton. In an article we republished from tbe JVntlondl InltlUyencer, a few day* aince, ox* Secretary Stanton whs charged with allowing the Uaitimore and Ohio Railroad Company to mako charges in excess of tboee paid by other roads for like service, he ex-8ecrctary himself or bis friends should demand In some public way that an exposition shall be otlldally made in this matter by the Secretary of tbe Treasury. It la due to tbe people who are, pending tbe elections, passing to a greater or less extent on the political eourse of Mr, Stanton aa tbe special representative of tbe radical party in the cabinet for some years, that such an exposition should be Immediately made. No action of Conuioeacan be aatidpated to bring out Information In tbte refnrd. Nor should bis exposition be conflaed to tba Baltimore and Ohio Railroad alone, bat to all bis allowances for transportation by rail and by vessels, and for vessels purchased. In this connection tbe Intelligencer propose* one of two additional questions in regard to bis allowances to the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, as follows: Why was tbe BalUinire and Ohio Railroad allowed by the War Department to be paid for transporting six thousand pounds of freight tbe same price aa was received by other roade for traaeporltag sixteen thousand pounds—nearly three 11 see as mueh? Why were two cannon allowed to tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ae a car load, whll# other roade wero allowed a ear load lor every four oaanon ? Why were clerke la tbe Quartern seter General's Oflee dismissed because they eoald net see tho justice, honesty, or propriety of adjusting accounts on the above prtaciples of favoritism?

Tbe Washington correspondent of tbeClnclsnati Enquirer thus exposes tbe duplicity ot tbe New York Tribune towards General

STBXDMAN:

About a month ago Mr. Greeley printed an editorial in tbe Tribune, based on a rumor by telegram, tbat General 8 teed man hae been appointed Secretary of War. In tbat editorial

Mr. Greeley says:

*< Thu ArmntntmDnt ftt aa Spafa-

The appointment of Steedmin as Secretory ot War is monstrous and rldlcnlous. It is intrinsically In perfect keeping with Mr. Johnson’s policy, which Is always to choose the worst man In the country for a given posttlon. If be could have found a successor to Mr. Stanton more obnoxious to tbe people and less worthy of tbe office than 3 teed man. be would have inevitably chosen him, but that was impossible, Steedmanls tbe last roan in tbe United States who ought to be Secretary

of War,” etc.

Something over a year ago, wbcn^Steedman was named as the tben probable successor of Stanton, Mr. Grcclty wrote a letter to Mr. Johnson, a copy of wblrh was retained by tbe friend of Steedman. who delivered tbe papers to tbe President. That friend furnishes your correspondent with tbe following copy:

“OFFICE OF THE TRIBUNE. I “New York, January 23, 1300. f

Dear Sir—Tbe Journals generally say that Mr. Stanton has tendered hi* resignation, and expects soon to leave the War Department. Should this be tbe case, 1 venture to suggest, as bis successor, General James II. Steedman, of Obio, one of the bravest and truenApr «*T

“Hon. A.

The Tariff at the Went. Tbo Honorable William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvanta, bas sufficiently recovered from tbe wounds be received at Mobile to make another extended tour—this ttmo to tbe West, not tbe South, and not so much in tho inteicst of the radical party, as for tbe benefit of tbe Pennsylvania protectionists, it is advertised tbat lie will speak in certain cities, and it is stated that an agent of tbe “ Iron and Steel Association ” precedes him and makes arrangements for the meetings. We have before us n report of Id* speech in ('olnmbus, Ohio, September 0, where he declared that tbe war was not yet over, and that the treaty of peace was not yet consummated, lie then Illustrated and explained “the ways of Providence ” (remotely referring, perhaps, to special leg station for certain Rhode Island screw companies,) and defended Congress for its tariff enactment, claiming that “ It inured to tbe benefit of labor.” This tariff talk, however, is not likely to bo popular at tbe West, and it may weaken the force of the “ ways of Providence,” and such other radical cant aa Inay be interlarded between the protective paragraphs. The Chicago Tribune, which takes opposite ground from its New Y ork namesake on tbe protective question, thinks Mr. Kelley’s ground should be a call for “a decree declaring tbat nobody should make any Iron except people residing In Pennsylranla;” and while Mr. Kelley is stumping tbe West for a a higher tariff, tbe yw&wne thinks a few questions would “tend to simplify the discussion;” for

instance:

1. Mow can money be given to one man, by act of Congress, without taking it from an-

other?

2. What is tbe difference between a tariff levied for “protection” and an appropriation of public money to the protected classes? 3. If the process of appropriating public, money to particular classes Is wise national economy, would it not be wise and just to cx tend It to all classes? 4. If the aforesaid process enables the iron manufacturer to buy more of the farmer's grain, would it not also enable the farmer to buy more of tbe other man’s Iron? Wby would It not be wise national economy to appropriate an equal portion of the public funds to tbe farmers and all other persons. so as to enable them to buy large quanti-

ties of iron?

0. If cheap foreign Iron I* an injury to this country, would not Iron cosGpg nothing be a

ment. Ofeoune sucb Issue would at once depredate tbe currency, and would be virtual repudiation, wbteh I have not favored and do

not favor, either directly or indirectly. My proposition Is that tbs Government shall

offer to tbs country a new loan, secured by interest In currency bonds, payable at long data, to which all future Issues of Government losoi. shall be assimilated, so ns to mske one class or Government securities only, instead of tbe nineteen different clssses we have now. and with tbe proceeds of such loan to pay off our highest class of interest gold bearing bonds •• they become due; not to Increase, and thereby depredate the currency, but to render tbe currency and eradtt of tbe Government more stable, and, therefore, all tbe more valuable, by reducing tbe debt by a reduction of interest end increase of taxable property, causing our loans to be taken up In our own country, so tbat we may not be obliged to pay tribute to foreign capital, as we bow do, at a rate of Interest exceeding three times wbat

From the London American. Ituntan-A splendid Flan for Lazy

fflcn.

Nlncty-nlno years ago, six hundred and eighty specimens of the genua homo were embarked on board of one of Her Brltanlc Majesty's brigs at the Island of St. Vincent, the seat of government for the English Windward Island, and transported across the whole width of the Carrabean Sea to Ruatan, a small island then but little known except to

the bucancers.

Tho main land, the north coast of Honduras, Is from the Island distant about twentyfive miles, and the Spanish planters soon learned of the guilering people upon Ruatan, and gave them employment upon their plantations, and this island, which was only a resting place, and a final one to many oftbe 630, remained unoccupied for sixty years or more, and how it has a population of about 1,000, hut not a descendant of that cargo of Caribs brought from St. Vincent in the British orig. Tbat race bas expanded to near l^dOO, and they arc now found over about three hundred miles of coast from the Cape Gracias a Dios westward to tho port of Omon, in the Gulf of Honduras. And it is here with these people that every hater of work and believer In tbe

degradation of labor should immigrate.

These Caribs retain many of their old customs, and tbe Mahommedan Mormon institutions of polygamy is one. This peculiar institution carries with it tbe inferiority of woman as a necessary consequence, and tbe Caribs believe with Mr. Ruskln that labor is degrading, which naturally leads them to Impose tbe greater burthen upon the already degraded

portion of community, tho females.

When a young lord of creation becomes too large to yield to the control of bis mother, he takes bis canoe, and, bunting up a good location for a home, proceeds to clear the trees from about an acre of ground, and. building a cabin, is in his own estimation and in the opinion of tho people, deserving of a wife, which secured, ne is relieved by her from further care. She attends to the garden,which produces them ample food, and also makes the scanty clothing they require, or else by fishing or tbe gathering of sarsaparilla—which grows plentiful in the forest, and for which ready market Is found in the United States— procures tho means of purchasing cloth— which, of course, the degraded half converts

into garments.

Tbe young lord of creation is thus relieved from all labor until such time as be again shall tire of his slave wife, when he again takes his canoe and bunts another situation, where he repeats the clearing and building, and when done be chooses another wile, who takes possession of this new home ami divides the labor of entertaining the husband with tbe first wife. When bis lordship Is tired again of bis inactivity, the samo laltov of clearing and home building is repeated, sometimes till one man has five or six wives upon as many «suaoally so distant one from the other tbat the various wives never *.• «a<'h other When the number of wives is sufficient for tbe ambition of tbe husband bis days of labor are ended, and his life is spent in equal periods with each, and he troubles himself not in tbs least with the cares of the family or for bis food, but bis days can pass ia that blissful state of indolence so lauded by many, but

achieved by lew.

Ie the money that these flve-fwenty creditors lent the Government (l>elng tbe best which tbe tben credit of tbe Government could afford), stood in relation to gold as 200 and 283 to 100. If tbe Government pays them in s cuncncy from fifty to one hundred per cent, better than they lent tbe Government, of what have they to complain, save that the Government will not tax the people to pay them a usurious share; or, in other words, will not tax the people to enable the capitalists to make a speculation out of tbe war necessities of tbe Government? History tells of no government which has yet paid its creditors all they loaned it, sod thus made them whole; and I doubt whether good faith, good conscience or equity require this Government to pay Us creditors three times what it received from them, with interest at six per cent, on the treble amount. Of course, if any contract to do that be shown, “ tbe Jew shall have bis bond, but not one drop of Christian blood.” It Is not true tbat I have “ called for tbe issue of any more legal tender notes,” save to take the place of bank notes withdrawn from circulation, and thus save the people tbe Interest thereon. I do not intend to argue these questions—only to correct misrepresentation. I beg leave, in closing, to repeat tbat I do not propoee to depreciate, bntto enhance, the value of the currency—not to do Injustice to tbq public creditors, but to pay him according to the letter and spirit of bis obligation, and to secure him from the danger of repudiation which will surely follow an attempt at enforcement upon tbe people by tbeir own votes of an unjust and unconscionable transaction under tbe guise of a contract.

ton.

Leaning back In a deep chair, on one near her, you see » fair woman, whose beautiful presence seems at variance with tbe many anxious and angular and the few coarse women around her. Tbe calmness of assured position, tbe serene satisfaction of conscious beauty envelop her and float from her like an atmosphere. We feci it even here. Pale plumes droop above tbe lovely forehead, velvet draperics fall about her graceful form. We catch a glimpse of alluring laces, the gleam of jewels glittering on dimpled, ungloved bands. Look long into this face; its splendor of tint and perfection of outline can bear the closest scrutiny. Look long, r.ncT tben say if a soul saintly as well as serene looks out from under those penciled arches, through tbe dilating irises of those beguiling eyes. Look, and tbe unvailed gaze which meets you will tell you, as plainly as gaze can tell, tbat adulation is tbe life of its life, and seduction tbe secret of its spell.. Tbe beauty would not blanch before tbe profanest sight; it is the beauty of one who tunes her tongue to honeyed accent, and lifts up her eyelids to ’.cod men astray. She comes and goes in a showy carriage. She glide* through tbe corridors, haunts the galleries and the anterooms of the capitol—every where conspicuous In her beauty. All who behold her inquire, Who is that beautiful woman? Nobody seems quite sure. Doubt and mystery envelop her like a cloud. “She is a rich and beautiful widow.” “She is unmarried.” “She la visiting the etty with her husband.” Every gaze

h i* a different answer.

There are a few deep in the secrete of diplcmacy, of legislative venality, governmental prostitution, who can tell you that she is one of tbe most subtle and most dangerous of lobbyists. She Is but one of a class always beautiful and always successful. She plays lor large stakes, but always wins. The man who fifiva tn h-p. •“^rnnro my appointment, make

I will pay ’

says to her, “Secure

iromolion, and

sure my promotion, and I will pay you so many thevsands,” most usually gets his appointment and she her thousands. Does she wait like a suppliant? Not at all. She sits like an empress waiting an audience. Will she receive her subjects In promiscuous assemblage? No, if you wait long enough you will see her glide over these tesselated floors, but not alone. Far from tbe ears of the crowd, In some ante room, sumptuous enough lor the Sybarites, this woman, as beautiful as nature and art can make her, will dazzle the sight of a half demented and wholly bewildered magnate, and then tell him what ehe wants; with alluring eyes and beguiling voice, she well besieges bis will through the outworks of his senses, and so charms him on to do her pleasure. He promises her his influence, he promises her his power, her tavorlte shall have tbe boon be demands. Thus some of the highest prizes in the Government are won. Unscrupulous men pay wily, unprincipled women to touch tbe surest springs of influence, and thus open a secret way to their public success.—

Pepper and Cowhide.

A decidedly novel and exciting scene occurred on one of our quiet and beautiful streets this morning. A young lady, living over the river, some days ago received an Insult from a neighboring youag gent, which she resolved in her mind to resent upon the first convenient opportunity. This morning, as she was walking along Fourth street, she espied tbe aforesaid young man In an office opposite. Fully prepared to execute her heroic purpose, she sent a messenger across the street to request her antagonist’s presence on pressing business. Y<Ang man, in obedience to the call, made his way promptly to the side of tbe lady, when the two walked slowly down street, as If some secret was to be made known. All at once the jfoung lady caught the young gent by tbe coat coUar with one hand, and with the other dashed a generous supply of pepper into his eyes. Then, draw teg a cowhide from her sleeve, she commenced laying on with an energy and determination which boded mischief, whereupon the young gent took to his scrapers, and the last seen of him was going at • tearful rate

down Jcffsrsoa street.
