Cincinnati Commercial (Newspaper) - February 15, 1870, Cincinnati, OhioWin a its the Cincinnati commercial Quot a Ltd -1 a Quot it Day february 15, 1870. General a Chenalt. To the editor it of the commercial daring the past several months in some of the papers of the country and particularly Western papers there have appeared occasional paragraphs reflecting upon the integrity and honesty olt general Robert Schenck. Within the last few weeks this Poison More fully developed oame to the surface and in various quarters what were Mere innuendo its swelled into bold and Mallo ious attacks. These libellous and slanderous charges Spring from motives of revenge or others of no higher order and Are published to defame nos reputation in the interests of selfish Western politicians intriguing for wider Power a hence they demand exposure for the Sake of decency and just Lee. The papers that contribute to this foul Pool of defamation Are utterly reckless in their statements. They Are shameless Crafty unscrupulous and finding their distortions and perversions groundless they have not the manhood to withdraw their libels. The Hamilton Telegraph is one of the most persistent of these defamatory sheets. What is the animus of its enmity to general Schenck it is understood to be this that the editor of the Telegraph sought the general a influence for some subordinate place in Washington City and failed to receive it for Good reasons. Every High minded person can therefore decide How much credence should be Given to the aspersions upon general so Hencky a character in the columns of the Telegraph. The Indianapolis journal growling after the fashion of its mangy associate the Telegraph makes the Well known convictions of general Shenck on the old Henry Clay doctrine of Protection to Home industries the pretext while it departs from every Rule of decent journalism to in bulge in endless diatribes upon the general a private character. The dictating editor of the journal is writhing under a defeat for the office of commissioner of Indian affairs. is a political misanthrope and seems savagely indifferent whether his malevolence Falls on Friend or foe. The republicans of Indiana Are tired of this do organizer on the state committee and will at the state convention this month secure a True party Man in his Stead. There is a Sublime pm Pudente in this Man impersonating the Economy and honesty role with his record for years As a Federal office Holder and Speculator upon state patronage. And the unaccounted for $30,000 of party contributions said to have gone into but not out of the state Central committee since his connection with it. The fellow who writes the journal libels is a youth in the employ of the editor formerly a resident of Hamilton Ohio. This youth is a person of no consequence Frothy Brassy hypocritical and heartless whose character is justly Assai Lable on moral grounds. Let the journals Specif to libels be taken up in their order libel no. 1. The journal Days Quot if any one really expected that Thia committee under the Lead of or. Schenck and constituted in the interest of the a protective theorists of new England would do what the country desired or the House ordered then such a one was a a recruit a a a Marine a ready to beguiled with any this vulgar slur is Only contemptible but the guest Lon suggests itself what had general Chenck to do with constituting this committee the recruit or Marine who Ould write so absurd a paragraph has passed the crisis of gullibility. Or. Blaine was elected speaker by Western votes. organized the ways and Means committee. Five of the glue messes. Schenck Allison Maynard Blair and Marshall Are from the West the a protective theorists of new England Are represented by or. Hooper of Massachusetts the great mining Fields of Pennsylvania have Kelley a High Tariff Man and new York two or. Mccarthy a Prytko Lonist and or. Brooks a free trader. Does the journal writer observe the length of his ears the statement that general Schenck is not devoted thoroughly to the interests of the West is a deliberate fabrication and is proved to be such by his speeches and votes in Congress for a ears. Consulting the congressional Globe dirty ninth Congress first session Page 3,603, the following will to found showing the position taken by general Schenck on Western interests. John Thomas of Maryland moved to reduce the Tariff on flaxseed linseed Heinz seed and rapeseed to sixteen cents per Bushel. General Shenck moved to make it forty cents and spoke As follows Quot this clause proposes a duty on the seed from which the Oil is produced and on the Oil when manufactured to equalise the two. The chairman of the committee of ways and Means then or. Morrill admonishes us that this is one of those cases in Whitti he intends to oppose the action of the committee and go a or lower tax. I apprehend he Means a lower tax on the seed alone and not on the Oil. prefers to have it where it it a heavy tax of the manufactured Oil to keep that out but a Low tax on the seed to let that in in order that Eastern manufacturers in Competition with the interests at the West May manufacture Oil from the imported seed and thus crush out and destroy the Western interests. There Are about ninety Oil presses in the six Western states which Are interested in this matter and the whole interest instead of being one that deserves to be spoken of contemptuously i undertake to say involves $8,000,000 annually the flaxseed at its Market Price raised annually in the Alx states of Ohio Indiana Illinois Iowa Missouri and Kentucky amounts to a Little Over $5,250,000 manufactured it produces $6,000,000 Worth of nil annually and $2,000,000 Worth of Oil cake. W Quot sir we want these five and a Quarter millions Worth of seed to receive some Little Protection. We want a Protection like that which is Given to almost a very other and Estrial Pursuit or production provided for in this Bill and because we ask a Little Protection of this sort a great interest is to be spoken of in this contemptuous manner As though it were a Small matter out at the West not worthy the notice of gentlemen living upon the Atlantic upon another occasion he spoke As follows Quot sir i am for a fair arrangement of this matter. If Protection is afforded to those who Are engaged in manufactures we. Of the West want not Only indirect Protection upon that with which we feed them but direct Protection such As they receive upon All Trio a articles which As raw material May Euter into the manufacture a of the this is but one of the Many Western interests general Chenok has Laboured assiduously to Foster and protect. That it is a great and increasing interest is shown by a letter from the commissioner of agriculture dated february 6,1870, in which he says that a Ohio. Id 1869, produced More flax seed than the United states la i860�?��?620,092 bushels. Of flax fiber he writes As follows Quot in 1868 the amount of fiber made in Ohio was 12,032,-392 pounds against 882,423 in 1859, a thirteen fold increase two and a half times the total yield of the whole country in 1860. Libel no. 2. The journal says a but the committee on ways and Means Mast need a spend the six months recess on a pilgrims Progress. The chairman. Id the meantime Perambo plating the capitals of the old in reply to the first suggestion of this Para graph it is Only necessary to state that Congress adopted a Resolution in april last authorizing the ways and Means committee to remain in session during the congressional recess for the purpose of revising the Tariff Laws and other Revenue matters and to examine witnesses and take testimony at such times and places As they might deem advisable All their expenses being borne by the government. In pursuance of this legislation Tuc committee with the exception of general Schenck visited California for the purposes named in the Resolution devoting valuable time to these important duties. The whole outlay was Only about five thousand dollars. It is fair to estimate to gain to Tho government by their work at a thousand times that amount. The Low fling at general Shenck for visiting Europe last summer deserves but a passing notice. took Tho first respite from hard work for years and went to rebuild shattered health. did it at no expense of the government and an honest Man would not comp lain of it prior to going to Europe however the general acting under the Resolution referred to made several trips with his committee his exp lenses amounting to the enormous sum of 179 20. Libel no. 3 is found to read Quot general Schencks name is not redolent with fumes of the most perfect honesty. The Hamilton Ohio Telegraph a leading paper of his District is anxiously inquiring where he got his Money to buy that $32,000 atone front in Washington this is the basest of All the infamous libels it coined about general Schenck. It is no business of these Paul prys to be informed of a gentleman s private affairs hut to expose to the Public the utter unscrupulous Ness of this insinuation the following is quoted from the new York Tribune Quot general Schenck is a widower and has been for Many years. has the care of three daughters and being compelled to sell his Home at Dayton Ohio he determined to bring them Here where his Public duties require him to be. deemed it better to keep Bouse than to Board so he purchased a Home in Washington City. paid for it by giving some county Bonds and several vacant lots in Washington which he had owned More Thau a dozen years in Exchange for w ?�8 8tatenient this item should be added that these out lots and Western county Bonds Only paid half the Purchase Price the general depending upon the income from his future labor to pay the remainder for his Homestead. That a the whole of it. Ome libel no. 4. Oblivious to truth and shame the journal approaches the conclusion of the editorial from which these extracts Are made in this language a the fact that general Bohenek is in favor of a raise it the tax on whisky does not appear just the proper thing for the Leader of the House of representatives. If in disputed Rumor does the ways and Means chairman Jasvee he is in favor of potting the tax a distilled spirits Hack to me figure when Vii litre things ruled the government and fortunes were made and Given away within the charmed but in the first place a the fact that he is in favor of doing any a cd thing is an unmitigated falsehood. Perhaps the lib Elers May understand that Paradox. Nor is it longer an a undisputed general Schenck is not in favor of increasing the tax on whisky. Doubtless thousands of Good people would he glad if he were provided the government officials Ronld collect the additional impost. could be in favor of just that thing without being a villain if he believed it should be done. But he thinks ohm Wise. was the Champion of the movement to reduce the tax so that it could be Roll noted. would not now wheel about and do what is tantamount to repudiating his own workmanship. The following remarks from a speech of his id Congress show How he stands on the policy of changing the Revenue Laws Quot we have heard the howl about being in the interest of distillers and i suppose we Are prepared now to hear a howl about being in the interest of importers. Now As i have no particular friends among them nor and particular relations with them. I shall Endeavor to consider this subject with reference precisely to its merits. 6ir, the fault is not with the importer or manufacturer if when you change your Laws some men go up and others Down. It is because you Are continually changing your Laws and i have therefore. Sometimes thought that a bad Tariff or a bad tax Law. If it were Only persistently adhered to would in the Long run. Be better Thau a great Many Good ones if you change from one Good one to another cont inn ail. It is the want of consistency and uniform continuity of legislation that enables some men to make fortunes and causes others to lose them whenever the Law is changed. Quot when there was an attempt made to tax Tho Stock of whisky on hand 1 had no sympathy with the distiller. And any such insinuation is Humbug stuff. Buncombe unworthy of legislators. But i hold that after we had said to men a manufacture a certain article and we will charge Yon fifty cents a gallon a we ought not afterwards to say we will follow up what you have manufactured if we can and put another tax upon a tills record testimony is Clear Aud direct and pointedly contradicts the silly Munchausen isms of the Indianapolis journal. Though not another word is require cd on the subject this Brief extract from the new York Tribuno is offered i Quot general Schenck is the author of the Law taxing whisky As it stands on the statute Hook Laboured for its perfection and adoption and has never intimated a wish to have it changed. believe it to he As perfect As it is possible to make it and will Brand by thus every charge against general Schenck Falls at the touch of truth. Falsehood could never Bear the full flooding Light of fact. The ghouls that prowl Over gods foot Stool devouring the Good name of honorable Mon May feast and Wax fat while silence reigns but this once broken they May find in waiting an unexpected Avene ement. If those there to who can not understand How the harsh things said of general Schenck would be written of an honest Man let their Bear in mind that Quot no might nor greatness in mortality can censure a scape Back wounding calumny the whitest virtue strikes what King so Strong can tie the Gall up in the slanderous Tongue a it is impossible for the aligners of general Shenck to Sully his character or dim his Honor. February 15,1870._ the Cumminsville annexation. Cumminsville Ohio february 14, 1870. To the editor of the commercial an important question just now agitating the citizens and tax payers of the incorporation is that of annexation to Cincinnati. Those in favor of the scheme say that the City will give us a steam fire engine build us an engine House make us a separate Ward and let us have eleven policemen instead of three As we now have build us a Market House on oar Unoo qupied mar Ket space and after a while tear it Down and erect another Probasco Fountain let us Send our Superior boys and girls to one of the High schools without paying a Tariff of sixty dollars a year for the privilege put our Street Railroad tracks in the Middle of the streets instead of on the sidewalks As they now Are and move our three toll Gates Clear outside of our incorporation and All of this shall be accomplished by the All powerful City of Cincinnati with Only a trifle higher tax for us than we have been paying during the last two years. Besides they Cincinnati will wipe out our eighteen thousand dollars debt see committee report tuesday february 13, though our town clerk says it is Only six thousand dollars Aud that on Bonds having More than a year to run a without hardly feeling said Little debt. The anti annexation lists feel very confident of the corporation being abundantly Able to sur great word olt Posedly he need not have Groat Hopes but no a at All that the citizens of in Ninati Shonic adopt a proposition coming from a for they have sufficiently found out him Aud his prop tons and a they fear the greeks 6v�n when the y bring the Exee Edi Gly delicate apprehensions which the great a Are it Nero utters in regard to the impending i ejection his fears that the a Well meaning Citize is a if they should rely on Ward nominations Are Loetz a come too late and his insinuation p it every proposition to a secure Good mate far a should be taken into serious consideration a draws a to use an old saying a no dog away from the the Reform Ueo Essary in regard to the elections for the City Council have been much sooner thought of than the a a reformers Par sex Euenee finished his certainly More important Penitentiary biographies and turned his precious attention toward this Branch of the Appeal to the a Well meaning citizens to compel the parties by a decisive attitude to make no nomination this time considering the source from which it emanates we look upon As no less ridiculous than useless for that a third party a in which the word of the political Chameleon at the court House who has deservedly been repudiated by both political parties still had influence has Long since gone up. Hevee our great reformer will do Wall to put his a a proposition under Glass and Frame until better times Home. A a Anthony Sheath your tub Bethe i pair. Condensed report of officers. Mount All difficulties. The tax levied is ample to pay the expenses Tho Bonds Are being paid off As they Becot no due affairs Are administered economically and judiciously and they think that when the revaluation of real estate takes place the Revenue will be sufficiently ample to make a Complete system of Sewe Tige build a a town Hall and engine House establish a first class High school Aud pay a suitable compensation to All the officers necessary to manage the municipal affairs of the Village and they think that the people Here Are far better qualified to look after their own interests Thau those at a distance who do not know our resources or understand our wants and Only desire that we May furnish them a few extra thousands to expend on Eden Park or some other project that will never do Cumminsville a particle of Good. the sent meet of the town is about equally divided pro and con. One a a anti says he shall vote for ninety nine years yet to stay out. Others think that it is Best for us to go into Cincinnati and furnish them some excellent candidates for mayor chief of police. Superintendent of Telegraph &c., As a number of our citizens have some Dif Flouty in getting offices As our town is arranged at present. Improvements Are going on Here very rapidly. About ninety Dew houses have been erected the past season among others a Large and handsomely situated intermediate school building. Thanks to our three building associations for Many of these residences where hundreds of dollars go now to provide houses for labourers which wore formerly worse than wasted for Strong drink. Our Catholic friends have bought an acre of ground of or. Huffner for a Cathedral paying sixteen thousand dollars the disciples congregation have erected a handsome cur cd and the methodists will build a six thousand Dollar Chapel this summer. Our troubles Are so few that it is hardly Worth while to mention them but As our thorough and efficient reporter whose supposed duty it is to write our town a a up or a Down a has not yet discovered them All. We will speak of Only a single one. If in our Nurry to get to Cincinnati on the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton Railroad we have to stretch ourselves to catch the hindmost car and Haven to time to buy a ticket there is Twenty five cents demanded of us for the privilege of Riding on said Road and although it is a most outrageous charge yet people Are now and then required to pay it or the train will be stopped and a polite request made to get off and go to the City without the company of a a pleasant and gentlemanly however if resistance is made by the passenger after having tendered the regular fare Viz Twenty cents the conductor generally passes on for he knows he has no Legal right to collect an extra cent. Quite a number have been victims of this covetous Rule the recorder of our Village being among the number and there is no doubt but that As soon As Tho Baltimore and Cincinnati Railroad is completed Aud ready for use Niue tenths of our people will gladly patronize it if this and Many other annoyances Are not remedied. Yours truly t. The German press. From mondays Volks Blatt the elections for the City Council. The comm Roial says that the Volks Blatt advocated a no party election for next Spring. This however is not quite Correo nor would the parties consent to make no nominations for City officers. What we advocate is merely that Tho political parties shall this time make no nominations for the City Council but leave the selection of the candidates for the boards of aldermen and councilmen to the several wards because thereby certainly bettor material can be secured Thau by Means of the dirty Aud unreliable machinery of the Ward meetings a Good Way a to bring out candidates for the City Council would be the one that has already repeatedly been tried namely to request Good and esteemed men by invitations signed by influential citizens to become candidates. In consequence of such requests Many a Good citizen who otherwise would not consent to beg a nomination of a Ward meeting would be found willing to become a and Dato. The sooner such a movement is begun the More satisfactory will be the results. By Means of such demonstrations the Ward meetings May perhaps be compelled to nominate the very men thus designated by Publio opinion for the rest we do not insist on any special plan but merely intend to Call attention to this so important subject Aud to bring about a nubile discussion about it while it is time yet. From mondays Reform bombs. The great a a Reform mephisto at the courthouse has published another article in regard to the elections for the City Council. After falsely asserting at the beginning of his tirade that his proposition had met with much approbation at the hands of the Public he deplores in the Keooud phrase that he did not have any great Hopes that it would be adopted our Model a reformer a therewith uttered a the officers of the late successful fair for the Benefit of the Cincinnati Union Bethel have after considerable labor been Able to report.

The report of Richard Nelson esq., Book keeper and the other officers merely allude to the Success of the fair to Nevolene of ladies and gentlemen. The following final address of or. Joseph Kinsey closes the report a emr. W. Malone president of the ladies Bethel Aid society a we herewith present you a full report showing you the result of the fair lately held under the auspices of your society for the Benefit of the Cincinnati Union Bethel and regret that the Dif Flouty in obtaining accurate statements of details from the several departments has delayed this report so Long.

A your committee has deemed it expedient to submit with this report copies of the various circulars issued by the managers of the fair and a Complete list of the committees which so heartily co operated.

It All in and now finds him Setin the position of the Man who has been courted and flattered All his life but who suddenly finds there is a difficulty in accommodating him with a bit of paper representing May be a tenth of what has been promised him. A. There has been a Council this morning. I w As at St. Peters to see the Muster which began Early and with an unusual stir a a preparation. Numerous groups of fathers were walking about papers in hand talking with that Vao Ity that play of feature and sometimes or fun Jer you see everywhere except in England. I a ave since heard that Dupan our was speaking Long and with a vehemence of tone which compelled the Swiss guard to draw their Gordon still lower Down the Nave. They will have to shut up the Church altogether during the sittings if they Are so jealous of even Echo escaping to the outer world. But if they whisper into the Reeds As in the old myth Ven the Reeds will Tell the tale. So far As t can you Jecture Dupan Loup is simply for the Gal can liberties and against the new papal usurpation attempted in the draught decrees a now before the Council. Six fathers spoke a wednesday that is four besides those i my cloned yesterday. Calculations Are now being it Leas to the time Tho work before the Council Lill take and great care is taken to instil into tip pc fathers that by an ample vote of Confidence they May save themselves a great Deal of conf nement trouble and even danger. If they will allow everything to be done for them they will not have to do it themselves. Should they hesitate Here is the programme a Short Holiday at easter a prorogation at the end of May or perhaps the 29th of june to meet again in of Zobeir. But when there is a transparent and indeed confessed attempt to change the Constitution of the papacy Aud to make it More powerful because less responsible i wonder these people forget the disastrous consequent i of similar changes la the italian commonwealths. They passed through oligarchies into despotism and so to their ruin. It does seem a fatal a minor Holland them Hij to fallible reads rather Faue in i we perhaps tha Doc Tiow they get along at rom 2 Chiy Respondence London times in Rome january 21. A process going on Here which humanity re coils for Reno a h which it makes one shudder to think of ln<7 Escribe. The unfortunate fathers have be Ltd 1 ruefully and minutely reminded of All the Ohhi by pledges they have Ever Given Rome whet n at High solemnities or under gregarious a pulse or in ecstasies of gushing Devotion. A their speeches have been recorded and Laid up in Aro Bives against the Day when these counters must be redeemed in solid Gold their affectionate or Foolhardy promises Are All read in court and they Are called on to fulfil them. In the first place there is that petition which is being passed from hand to hand with a Sorte of commentary consisting of Large extract Rumi to Jakc extravagant professions of Loy Alty made Gay various bodies of clergy under trying or exit a ing circumstances. The petition started with Twenty names representing respective a the religious sentiments of Asia ree a no America Germany Belgium. Tit ii Switzerland Aud France All of Ngeng and thirsting for a source of Rise. I confess the list of countries Ike one of names sacred and pro known Irish song but fortunately song is not known Here. Tho Pope his amp self s supposed to be in a state of sub Lime Guj Branon As to the origin of the petition it i Samstag the fathers. has nothing to do with Tiu i unless one of them should wish to bring a a latter openly before the Council when it will have to be submitted to Bis own commit tee of Twenty six. The petition thus starting out of space has been first sent to the fathers understood to be Heads of sections accompanied with what we should Call at Home a canvassing letter and very much in that style Tell ing them How to proceed. They Are to put the screw on every father under their influence finally the copies Aud signatures Are to be ool looted Aud Laid before the Popes own commit top As a preliminary to a draught degree to be proposed to the Council. Meanwhile the papal Organ is publishing at the head of every number some particularly telling and explicit declaration made years ago by some Bishop or Bishops now Here. Thus of Tho 12th of june 1862, Tho Arch Bishop and Bishop of Vercelli made their Horn age in the following unmistakable words a most holy farther now and Ever we shall obey and reverence your holiness approving and disapproving whatever you approve and disapprove irom Dyhr apostolic Al chair from which Jesus Christ himself Speaks through the holy spirit to the Bishops and to the people of the whole world.1 confess i done to see How the Bishop of yer cell a Chyou the Road from Turin to Milan is to Geo to m that. The next number of the journal pro it its a passage for the study of the of round who on the 28th of october 1862, said rather after the Man Ner of his country a most holy Fathor in this Beautiful diocese where the Faith has been preached by the messengers of the first a a censors of St. Peter and where it Hae flourished since the first age of Christi Anity the thousand priests who of operate with us in the works of Jesus Christ believe whatever Hlf vicar believes teach whatever he teaches Aud condemn whatever he if the archbishop of Rouen objects to the Peti Tion now going about he is in very bad Case and i adn sorry for him. But there is a whole mine of the e suicidal admissions in the address of five Bur ired Bishops to the Pope at the Cen Tenary of it. Peter july 1,1867. It is written through of in that style of High flowing and uncut oils d. Votion which we have lost by the exclusive Iuse of our own vulgar Tongue but which seems the common vein of mediaeval latin. One sees a faint approach to it in the Adul Atory Dedi cation of books two centuries ago and perhaps in the Flayle in which reverend Brothers do homage to one another a Virtues at Exeter Hall. But the refi a big is Here. If the address before me is to decide the question and its language to be taken seriously the five 4 Hundred Bishops have done for themselves. Their Oase is that of the two poor lambs who were., this morning in accordance with old usage Laid on the altar of St. Agnese decorated with Flowers and Riband and tied Down to two cushions in an attitude of peaceful repose. The lambs Are blessed by the priest and kissed by the ladies. In due time they will be fleeced their Wool used in making the pallium presented to High dignitaries and their Mutton eaten by the Pope. The lambs Aro not conscious of either their honors or their Fate. Not so the five Hundred Bishops who have been offering Clouds of Wordy incense to the Pope All their lives and now find themselves taken at their word. As for the Pope he has really and honestly taken Jones were and asked is what a Deq a should do. I told her to sit Down and be Calm Wilile j med to get the boat ashore. Mra Suydam of mra.
