THURSDAY, JUNE 22,1871.

The Late Mr. YallantJigliam. Few men have passed away so universally regretted as Clement L. Vallandigliam. Few, too, had more bitter revilers than the same great man. In the heated moments of the late civil war he was greatly misunderstood, as were many other eminent men of both parties. But the passions of the people have cooled down, and they are now better prepared to appreciate each other's political conduct. From 18G2 to 18GG, the editor of the GAZETTEgreatly regretted the political course of that gentleman, and was not backward in disapproving it. So did the whole Republican party, sometimes perhaps in language more earnest than seemed necessary. Bat the conduct of Mr. Vallandigham, since his return from the forced exile imposed upon him, has been so wise and discreet that the public feeling then existing has undergone a wonderful change in his favor. His melancholy death, however, has been the signal for the kindest treatment of his memory. The public press, with but one or two exceptions, has manifested the highest sense of manliness in speaking of the dead statesman. And the Republican press, generally, has been foremost in these expressions of sympathy and condolence with the stricken friends of the deceased. This is honorable to them as editors and gentlemen, and manifests the inbred, sentiments of tolerance which is iitill latent in the American character.

AVe make a few extracts from the proceedings of the Bar meeting at Dayton, where Mr. V. has long resided, ami where he practiced before tbe courts of that county. The remarks of Judge Lowe, one of the presiding Justices of the Superior Court, are exceedingly appropriate, and portrays the exemplary character of the deceased as a gentleman and Christian.

DAYTON, .Tune 19.—A mooting of the bar was held this morning, lion. S. I5olton, in a lew approprite words, announced to the 'Court of Common Pleas the death of VallaiHligham, and in accordance with his motion the Court adjourned until next Friday in respect to the memory of the deceased. In the Superior Court, Samuel Craighead, Esq., alluded in a feeling manner to the d.eath of Vallandigham, accompanying the motion for an adjournment with a strong and eloquent tribute to his

memory. Judge Lowe made the following response

In the remarks and suggestions which have just been made I perfectly agree. The terrible accident which has brought death to our friend and brother and unfeigned sorrow to innumerable hearts throughout this broad land of ours, from ocean to ocean, and from the lakes to the gulf, weighs so heavily upon us who were his familiar friends, that the performance of our ordinary duties in this place, for present at least, is impossible. While I have, at this time, no formal eulogy to pronounce upon Mr. Vallandigham, I am constrained to add a few words to the testimony of the great multitude, who everywhere are reminding themselves and others of his virtues and sorrowing over his untimely end. Of his abilities as a lawyer and orator it is needless to speak. They have secured for him an honored name, not only throughout our nation, but wherever the English language is spoken throughout the world. AVe, however, have seen and known him also amid the gentle amenities of social life, and we know, what perhaps the world does not, that he was an affectionate and faithful husband, a most tender father, a kindly neighbor, a jusfc and upright citizen. We know the warmth of his attachment to his fr iends, and the readiness with which his heart responded to every manifestation of personal regard, that kindness alwaj's melted him, as tho sun the snow. When we remember the stormy life he lived, his firm beliof that Providence was preparing and training him for distinguished usefulness, and that prosperity in the futura would make ample amends for disappointments in the past, we can easily understand this expression of confidence during

Friday night that God would not

allow such an accident at such a time to end his life, and we stand in awe and wonder at the different ordering of llim who is indeed inscrutable, and whose ways are past finding out. To me, as his friend, it is a matter affording great satisfaction to know that to the end of life, amidst all the sophistries of modern infidelity, ho held fast to the faith in God and His Holy Word and in His Son, the Divine Savior of mankind, which he received in childhood, at his mother's knee. Could the silent lips now speak, they would say as we must, "that while God's ways are not our ways, yet the Lord of all the earth surely doeth right." At this moment Burke's solemn reflection rises naturally to our lips, "What shadows we aie, what shadows we pursue." We look forward upou our pathway as shining belore us through distant years, when, perhaps, an open grave yawns beneath our very feet. A man's heart deyiseth his way, but the Lord directeth his steps. Shall not each one of us be instructed by this most sudden and mournful ovent, "To so live That when the summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that invsterious realm, where each slialltake His chamber in the silent halls of Death, Wo go not like the quarry slaves, at night, Scourged to their dungeons but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approaclieth the grave, Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."

.s Greeley 011 Blockheads. Greeley writes sharp on what is called the "new departure." That venerable philosopher of the press appears to have no patience with a class of peoplo who allow the wheels of their vehicle to drop into a rut, and are content to jog along in it the balance of 'their lives. There are some such people in the world, and Greeley knows them. If the^e persons had their way, the farmer would yet be plowing with his old wooden plow, made two hundred years .-.go he would be going to mill with the grist in one end of the bag and a big stone in the otheraye, he would be cutting his hunched acres of wheat or oats with the old-fash-ioned sickle. But the world moves, and it moves for great improvements in the science of government as in all else. Greeley thinks Mr. Vallandigham had common sense, and understood the wants

with one idea, have not. We reckon there is much truth in what he says in the following paragraph "His new departure is regarded by many as inconsistent with all his past career, but that is their fault. So long as slavery lived he fought for it with a lover's devotion, but since it is dead. be3rond hope of resurrection, it seemed to him absurd that his party should persistently, fruitlessly, sacrifice' itself to the manes of the departed. What to little minds seemed inconsistency was simpl3r common sense, that appreciation and conformity to the actual status which distinguishes practical men from blockheads, who ,are often called men ol oue idea, because thoy never even had that number. His death makes a void in the ranks of his party, but the success of the new, bold countermarch, with which his name is identified, is almost assured."

WASHINGTON, June 17.—Investigations into the defalcation of McCartnej', of the Postoffice Department, developed the fact that Olmstead, McCartney's predecessor has not been proceeded against for his embezzlement, amounting to §50,000, nor have his bondsmen been required to pay the amounts for which they are responsible. Olmstead is not in custody, and has not baen molested since he was bailed, more than two years ago.

The above telegram, through the Associated Press, come here on the wires. It lets quite a large cat out of the bag. McCartney, of the Postoffice Department at Washington, is discovered to be a defaulter to the amount of $30,000, and has resigned his position in the Government employ. It now appears that one Olmstead, McCartney's predecessor, is also a defaulter for $.50,000, and has not been proceeded against,nor have his bondsmen been required to pay! In one office, within two years, a couple of "loyal" rogues pocketed $S0,000 of the public money. One is allowed to resign, and the other chap has gone about his business, with no Government officer to molest or make him afraid. The fact is, Grant and his Cabinet officers have

110

time to look after such small matters. There are ten or twelve other defaulters, who have robbed the nation of more than a million dollars, but not one of them have been prosecuted nor their securities compelled to pay. Grant has no time to stay in Washington to look after his political cronies. He wants "peace."

Tin? Indiana Christian Adcocatc says there is a radical wrong about Asbury University, and thinks its mission is to point out the blunder and seek the remedy. The rebuke of our friends is often bettor than the praise of our enemies.

Grcencastle Banner. The impression is becoming- very general that there is something radically wrong in all our colleges, and there is not a cheering prospect of a speedy remedy. Tho amount of mental growth acquired during a college course is not clearly perceptible, except in rare instances.—Express.

The above is true, every word of it. Where the wrong is, we can't say but that our colleges are becoming every day less efficient is a melancholy truth. The material must be poor, or the management wretchedly at fault. When our boys go to college, they must have imperfect views of their duties there, or the Professors are sadly lacking in control. The time was when these things were not complained of, and when young men returned to their parents and friends, greatly improved in mental discipline and morals. The reverse is true now. A college course is, in seven cases out of ten, without perceptible advances in useful knowledge and personal improvement. We must, therefore, cherish our common school system and its kindred aid at home.

Off Again!

Gen. Grant has given notice that he will turn his back on the present seat of Government at Long Branch,and depart

011

a tour of political inspection to California and the Pacific coast, on the loth of August. He proposes to be gone six weeks. The White House at Washington in the meantime, will be left in charge of his four "Military Secretaries" and the six civil Secretaries, of which his household is composed. The "lamplighter," at $1,000 a year, will also remain. Gov. Morton, that political "lamp to his feet," and Senator Nye, of Nevada, another Senatorial Eunoch, will accompany him in a special car furnished by Tom Scott, of the Pennsylvania Central. He will travel Scott-free.

Gone lTp!

C. C. Boweu, carpet-bag member of Congress from South Carolina, has been sentenced to the Washington Penitentiary for two years, and fined $500, for the crime of bigamy. He has now three wives living, and as the fellow said on a similar occasion, and "thirty States and five Territories to hear from He is the same chap who once engaged in selling cadetships, for which he was expelled from the House. It is now said that President Grant will pardon him. He ought to. Can he bear to see a radical Congressman—a carpet-bagger too—confined within the walls of a penitentiary? He is a "loyal" Grant man, of the first water, though a bigamist and a deceiver. Congress is just the place for him.

THE New York Sun say: "We are not now advocating the nomination of Mr. Greeley to the Presidency, but only comparing his claims to that office at the hands of the Republicans with those of General Grant. When we contrast the long and famous political record of the one with the brief and ignoble civil pareer of the other, and especially when we test their merits as Republicans by the events which have become historical since the organization of that party, the bare attempt to elevate them to the same plane would be a gratuitous insult to Mr. Greeley, and a preposterous compliment to General Grant. Viewed from the standpoint of the Republican party, Grant is a eonspicious nothing, while Greeley is a colossal fact."

THE death of Vallandigham was used by Rev. E. F. Howe, at the Congregational Church, last evening to illustrate the uncertainty of life, and to show the great necessity foi^politicians to start in early life with a good record.—Express of Mon

day. Mr. Vallandigham did start "with a good record." He was frank, outspoken, sincere, and without hypocrisy. He never winked at violations of law, nor bent the knee to tyranny of any kind. That record will stand.

ONE CIifiord Thompson has resigned his place in tbe Internal Revenue, Chief of Detectives, on account of his probable removal, for cause. He sold some valuable infoimation to a railroad ring, in New York, for $5,000, and lie retires with bis booty to sore expulsion. The "riuK" made $75,000 by this knowledge.

find that "Prince" Fred., son of Ulysses, stood in a class of 41, 29th in engineering 2Gth in minerology and geology 25th in ethics and law 29th in ordnance and gunnery 41st and last in cavalry tactics and the same in discipline. In the general standing, whose maximum is 2,150, he reached 950, with 30 graduates in advance of him and only 4 behind him.

THE New York Evening Post is severe on its Radical cotemporaries. It says: "They carefully print the details of every insignificant quarrel in the Southern States under startling head lines, as "Ku Klux Outrages," and carefully exclude all news that looks like peace and order, or even ridicule it."

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

Tlie following' conversation recently took place between parties living in this city, and being reported to ns, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—T saw you with anew dress on the other day as you were passing ruy house. How much did you pay for it?.

Mrs. 13.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it!

Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine.

Mrs. Ii.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE.

Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as tliey are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

]\frs. P..—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tolo that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have tiaded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After 1 got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut ofi' a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount, of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half ivy moveg. I suppose I ou^ht to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALJj your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to the buyer. No other a tore in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yetspoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods (old in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— etlorts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation*. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old stores £0 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging^.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is qnite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.
