Mr. C. t. Rhodes, Tics President and
Superintendent of the Cleveland and Ma
honing Railroad] latclj issued an order
that, the Cleveland Herald should not be
sold hy newsboys on the cars, and the Ex
press .Messenger wag forbidden to carry
packages of the paper for distribution at

the Herald were therefore obliged to .end

dho, paper. They also addressed a letter
to Hon. David Tod, President of the Com
pany, of the treatment they
nad received; and received the following
extraordinary reply:

. My. Ton waa elected Governor of Ohio,
;at the late election, and if this piece of
petty tyranny ia a sample.of what is com
tie people of Ohio will; have reason to
repent their selection. Whatever may be
the motive.which has governed this proce
dure, it is one of the most reprehensible
character, and should be frowned down at
once by the whole community. Railroads
we public carriers, and they hnve no right,
to discriminate for or against any persona
• .who may tue it, on account of any favor
iUim, much leas as a pnniahmant Certain
were granted for certain pur
poses, among which waa not a censorship
of the press. Mr. Tod sets himself np‘as a
. censor, and forbids the citisens along the
route of the road he controls from receiving
’ in tic usual channels, because,
smooth, it does not suit his views. Such
° f P Ctly ‘yrePiy WM never heard
of before in this country, and we could
never have believed it of any man, much
leas of a man selected for Governor of a
peat State, had wp not his letter before us.
;-j Mr : To,> tie Herald does not pursue
• a right course, *nd therefore he hopes his
agent, Mr. Rhodes, will useaU legitimate
mesne to suppress its circulation. We can
tell Mr. Rhodes that bis means are any
thing but legitimate, as he win probably
find out. This thing of setting up the
huiineos of suppressing newspapers his
‘been tried before and faned; and .we shall
be surprised if the people along that road
do not; make the country too hot for Mr.
Rhodes’ comfort, unless he repeals .his dis
graceful order. We congratulate the- peo
‘ pie of Ohio on their new Governor. Hap,

quite so omnipotent as it is as President of

On the evening of Thaukt giving day An
amateur Concert was given in the above
named church, better known as Dr. Swift s.
The music was all sacr.i, and consisted
principally 0 f anthema taken from joyous
and thanksgiving psalms, and other selec
tions from the matchless poetry of the Bible.
Before the singing of each piece a brief,
comprehensive, and fervidly etoquept expo
sition, or rather expansion, of the senti
ment of the piece immediately to follow,
was given by the Rev. Elliott Swift, son
and co-pastor of the venerable man who
has so long minißtered in that house. The
effect of this frequent and,rapid alternation
between excellent music and.genuine elo
quence, fhom a man whose' voice is music,
was singularly impressive and pleasing.
The church was very full, and although no
audible applause was given—for it would
have been out of place— yet the counte
nances of all testified how well they were
pleased.
Gen. Fremont’s Body Guard.
A dispatch from_St- Louis to the Chicago
IKhww states that an order has been issued
that the Fremont Body Guard will soon go
into service again. Most of the men are dis
satisfied with their officers, and wish to re
enlilt in other regiments. They believe that
they were sworn only for service as “Fre
mont’s” Body Guard, and that they were
displaced with the order for. his removel.
Gen. Stnrgie went to their quarters and tried
to explain matters, and asked aU who came to
serve under Fremont and not under Govern
ment orders, to step forward. Hoping to bo
disbanded, so as to reorganise, every man I
stepped to the front, when Bturgis left them,
saying they would bo arrested if any at
tempted to leave tho service. They then ap
pointed a committee to wait on Gen. Halleck,
explaining.their oath. He spid if their state
ment was true, they should have a chance to |
reorganise, and thus, what threatened to be a
nrious mutiny, is in a fair way to settlement
A 81ave Cannot be Confiscated!
So says the Louisville Democrat, as follows:

titie of the mast.r, if rt be made appear to a
court that he was used for purposes of the re
bellion with the master’s consent. Still, when
this matter is settled, State laws are supreme

no constitutional power on the subject. Dili

We shall see aboutthis supreme State law
when the proper time arrives. The laws
always seem to favor slavery. When it is
necessary for the security of the institution,
the slaveholder claims that the wational Con
stitution protects it, and then when it suits
better, their state lew is supreme. However,
we shall not argue the question now, we only
wish to show whet sort of dependence c.s
bo put m one of the most loyal of Southern
papers, where slavery is concerned.
“Thx loss of tlavet may be made us effective
for victory ar the lo„ of life." So says the
St. Louis Democrat. True, but Blavcs are
property, and therefore more precious than
the lives of our soldiers! What difference
does it make how many lives are sacrificed
so that tho institution of slavery remains
intact.
Gxx. Faxnoxi passed on East, through
Cincinnati and Cleveland, without stopping.
Arrangements had byen mads at Cincinnati

then were greatly disappointed.

But slaver; may be seen not only in
what it has done for the rebellion of which
tt is the indisputable heed—the fountain
and life—but also in what it has inflicted
upon us. There is not a community -not
a family— not an individual, man, woman
or child—who does not feel its heavy,'
bloody hand. Why these mustering ar
mies'; Why this drum beat in your
peaceful streets? Why these gathering
means of war ? Why these swelling taxes ?
Why these unprecedented loans ? Why
this derangement of business? Why
among us the suspension of the habeas-!
corpus and the prostration of all safe
guards of freedom? Why this constant
solicitude visible in all yonr face's ? The
answer is clear. Slavery is the anthor—
the agent—the cause. The anxious hours
that you pass are darkened by slavery;
The habeas corpus and all those safeguards
of freedom which you deplore have been
prostrated by slavery. The business which
you have lost has been filched by slavery.
The millions of money now amassed by
patriotic offerings are all snatched by sla
very. The taxes now wrung out of your
•diminished means are all consumed by sla
very. And all these gathering means of
war—this drum-beat iu your peaceful
streets —and these mustering armies are
on account of slavery, and nothing elan.
Do the poor feel constrained to forego their
customary tea or coffee or sugar, now bur
thened by increased taxation? let them
pledge themselves anew against the crimi
nal giant tax-gatheror. Does any commu
nity mourn gallant men, who, going forth
joyous.and proud, beneath their country’s
flag, have been brought home cold and stiff
with its folds wrapped about them for a
shroud,? Bet all who truly mourn the
dead be aroused against Slavery. Does a
mother drop tears for a son in the flower of
his days cut down upon the distant battle
field which he moistens with his youthful,
generous blood ? Let her know that Slavery
dealt the deadly blow, which took at once
his life and her peace.

But I hear a voice saying that all this pro.
ceeds—not from 81avery—oh no! but from
Anti-Slavery; that the Bepublicans who
hate 81averyythat the Abolitionists-are the
authors of this terrible conflagration. Sure
ly, you may well suspect the sense or loy
alty of him who puts forth this irrational
and Utterly wicked imputation. As well
say thatthe early Christians Were the au
thon of the Heathen enormities against
which they bore their martyr testimony,
and that the cross, the axe, the gridiron and
the boiling oil by which they suffered were
a part of the Christian dispensation. Buf
the early Christiana were misrepresented
and feUely charged with crime even, as you
are. The tyrant Nero, after setting Borne
on fire and dancing at the conflagration
denounced the Christiana as guilty of this
wickedness. Here are the-authentic worda
of the historian Tacitus: *
So for the quieting of this rumor, Fero JudicUllT
ehrad with the crime, and punished with moct
atudfcd wTeritiet, tUt class, hated for their general
wickedness, whom the Tolgar call Christians. The
2J*“*s°* of“«» WM one Christ, who, in the'
WMpt of Tiberias, suffered death by sentence of the
procurator, Pontius PiUt«. The baneful superstition
thereby.represeed for the time, agein broke out. m*
the naUee toil of that mischief! but
in the cite also, where from eterr side all atrocious
• and abootnablo things collect and nourished.” (Anoah
XT. **.)
The writer of these remarkable words waa
the wisest and most penetrating man of hie
»nd he lived amid the evonts
wJuoh ho describee. Perhaps in listening
to him you may find an apology for those
M&ong us who heap upon cotemporariea a
einular. obloquy. Xho Abolitionists heed
no defense from me.- It is to'their praisa
aestined to fill an immortal page—that from
thebepnmng they eawi the true iharacter
of Slavery and warned' their country
again,t its threatening domination.
Through them the fires of liberty hare been
kept alive in the United States—a, Hume
ie constriued to eonfots that these same fires
were kept alive in England by the Puri
tans, whom this great historian uever
praised if ho could hoip it. And yet they
are charged with this Bebcllioh. : Can this
he serious ? Evon at the beginning of The
Bspublio thb seeds of the conspiracy were
planted, and in 1820, and then agalhgn
1880, it ehowed itself—while nearly thirty
years ago Jackson denonneed it, andbne
of its leading epWu'has recently boasted
that it hae been gSUteringheSd for this full
time, thus—not only in its distant cmhryo,
but in its well attested development— rate

Slavery it the inveterate culprit—the
transcendent criminal—the persevering

As the leaa is contained in the greater, so
the rebellion ie all contained in Slavery.
The tenderdcßs which you show to Slavery
• ’ ~r i f ore ’ ten dernees to the rebellion
itself. The pious caution with which you
avoid harming Slavery i B like that ancient
superstition, which made the wolf eacred
among the Romans and the crocodile sacred
among the Egyptians.; nor shall I hesitate
to declare that every surrender of a slave
by your soldicfi back to bondage is an of
fenug of human sacrifice—-whose shame is
too great for any army to bear. That men
•should still hesitate to strike at Slavery is
only another illustration^of human weak
ness. The English Republicans, in their
bloody eoniest with the Crown, hesitated
Tor a long time to fire upon the Ring; but
Unde i lead of Cromwel* sur

Thank Qod ! our Government is strontr •
but thus fkr all signs denote that it is not
strong enough to save the Union and at the

do you protect this accursed Rebellion;
nay, you give to it that very aid and com

we all seek, cannot bo permanently assur

through such reconciliation, under the
sanction of freedom, can you remove all
occasion of contention hereafter; only in
thia way, can you cut off the head of this
great Rebellion, and al the same time ex
