OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY A high old railroader-Baltimore and Ohio. -Garrett, of the The attorney for the Tichborne claim ant made a speech juat a month long. He began his argument July 22, and con' eluded it August 21. Our readers will And a great deal of mighty interesting reading in this morn ing's State Journal. It Is all original, or reported for the State Journal. The Commercial is progressing very satisfactorily, as an organ. It is angling now for the colored brethren, and fixing up a slate for the county offices of Hamilton. The Succotash party has not had the advantage of much mix of the col ored element, up to date. The Statesman says the late war was prolonged, not so much through the la bors of the Copperheads as. through the influence of "loud mouthed loyalists who prolonged the contest for the opportuni ties it afforded for plunder." The editor of the Statesman was a Quartermaster, and he ought to know. A okntleman of this city writes us warmly advocating the presentation of Solon M. Shedd, of this city, as a suitable man for independent candidate for Sheriff against the regular Democratic nominee. Shedd has lived in Franklin county over twenty years, during which he has been employed in business with the Zet-tlers, the McDonalds, McColm, Miles & McDonalds, &c, &e. Harvard University has adopted the system of examinations for women which is now in vogue at the Cambridge University, of England, and the object of which is to enable Women to obtain from a first class University its certificate as to their attainments in learning. The same end would be accomplished by admitting the examined at once to the privileges and advantages of the institution. The Cincinnati Commercial has a writer who should be encouraged to enter upon a career as an inventor. He says that Jeff Davis "justifies the suspicion that he is covertly acting in the interest of the Administration." The man who could discover that should' turn his attention to perpetual motion, aerial navigation, or some other of the problems that have graveled inventors of all ages. Kenewed eflorts are making to secure V the early completion of the Atlantic and Lake Erie railway. The great mineral wealth of the country lying contiguous to that line in Southern Ohio, and its consequent advantages for the transportation of coal, are now attracting the favorable notice of Eastern capitalists, and it is be" lieved that the necessary funds to finish it will soon be forthcoming. This, if reliable, is important news for Northern as well as for Central and Southern sections of the State. J. D. said in his White Sulphur speech, that he had "never seen aSouthern woman who has been reconstructed." Jeff, and all the other old ladies still shriek for war Longstreot, Beauregard, and others who did the fighting, are not so brash about it. Jeff, says "We have been cheated rather than conquered" which is both false and undignified. Lee won the respect of every brave American by his modesty and dignity and reticence after defeat. But it hi only the great who nan accept defeat. The petticoat hero gabbles. The Zanesville Signal charges the chairman of the State Liberal Executive committee (General Brinkerhofi') with bad faith, in breaking an agreement that the Democratic and Liberal State Conventions should be held at one and the same time, with full unification of the two parties. There are some things about thiB business that no fellar can understand one of which is : If the Democracy are so glad to get rid of the Liberals, why do they whine so about it, and charge the Liberals with bad faith in dissolving the partnership? The New York Times has an Ohio letter which states on Columbus authority that it costs $15 more to ship a car of live stock from London, Ohio, to New York direct, than it does to ship it from London to Chicago and thence to New York. The same letter says : "It costs about double as much to ship car load of freight from Chillicothe, Ohio, to Baltimore, over the Baltimore and Ohio road, as it does from Cincinnati, 100 miles further west, to Baltimore. More than this, a person shipping from Chillicothe to Baltimore has to pay as much per car load as one who is shipping from St. Louis, Mo., between 400 and 600 miles further west." The Kansas papers are beginning to canvass the name of Hon. Noah C. Mc-Farland, of Topeka, for TJ. S. Senator. It won't do. There is no money in it, Mc-Farland won't pan out worth a cent. He has (as a Kansas paper says) " made an excellent record" as a State Senator of Kansas, and of Ohio too, for that matter he went through the Pomeroy-Yorke cam paign " without losing his integrity or his nerve. He was neither bought, deceived, coaxed nor soared." But, men and brelh ren, ue will place no money on deposit lor starting a National Bank. He won' do. The chief productive industry of Kansas seems to be the manufacturing of U. 8. Senators; and the Legislature that turns out Senator McFarlond won't realize dividend enough to squat a chum with, ' The Atheas Openlaa;. The campaign has opened on the Republican aide most suspiciously. The Athens meeting oil Saturday was in all respects a great success. By no means its least significant features were its unusual size and evident spirit, not to say enthusiasm. In the off year, and especially at so early a date in the canvass, the people have usually taken a languid interest in political questions, and this has been par ticularly Jrue of Republicans. But they seem to need no spurring this year. In spite of the busy season, the hoi weather, and the lack of that inspiration and ex citement which attends a great national struggle, they were out at Athens in force. What is still mora important, their sym pathies were, unmistakably with the speakers to whom they listened, and that is to say, with the great progressive party of the Republic The speeches, also, constitute a fortu nate opening to the discussions of the canvass. That of Governor Noyes squarely meets the moving questions now occupying the public mind, and handles them wisely, eloquently and ably. His show ing with reference to the condition of State affairs is at once just and impressive. It is a vindication of Bcpublican administration such as must carry conviction, command praise and enlist confidence. In reference to the railway question the Governor speaks words of sense and soberness. He deprecates an indiscriminate crusade against railways, but at the same time strongly affirms and demands their subjection to legislative control. In reference to the Credit Mobilier and Salary frauds his sentiments accord with popular conviction, and will be sealed with popu lar indorsement. Of the speech.of Senator Morton it is almost enough to say that it haB the usual force, vigor and majesty of his cam paign utterances. Its muscular logic crushes all it encounters, and its vigorous analysis lets the light ol noonday throuch every subject it grapples. We have not space to refer to its points in detail ; that. indeed, would require nearly as much space as the speech itself, which bristles with points in every paragraph and sentence. We therefore lay it in full before our readers, as we do also the .speech of Governor Noyes, ' and that delivered on the same day by the Hon. Alphonso Hart, at Xenia. The latter shows that the Governor has, in the person of his first lieutenant on the ticket, a most able and worthy auxiliary in the discussions of the canvass. Mr. Hart's speech is an utterance that deserves and will receive a large share of public attention. The full report of speeches made on Friday at the Chillicothe Convention of colored men shows that they are fully up to the average of any political convention held for several years, in ability, pith, and incisive vigor. Some things strike the beholder aB rather sui pricing, In the proceedings. For instance, in a Convention held to denounce the Administration and the Republican party for not giving colored men office, a colored man who holds office is with difficulty prevented from being choked down, when he attempts to speak ; a speaker who is denouncing the Administration because it called no col ored men to office admits that he had himself been offered an office by that same Administration; one of the delegates from this city, who wanted to be placed on an equality with white men in the distribution of patronage, recently declined an office for which there were a hundred white men of education and capacity offering themselves, on the ground that the pay was too small ; one of the members of the State Executive Committee appointed by the Convention, only a short time ago in public speech, recognized in only too flattering terms the appointment of a colored man to office in this city. And so forth. These gentlemen are all our friends, and it is not pleasant to feel obliged to disagree with them. But we cannot allow the occasion to pass without protesting against this whole business of class or race distinction. We do not admit that there is in any civil, political or legal sense anv difference whatever between Naturalized citizens, American citizens, Colored citizens, or White, Red, Black or Blue citizens; it is an intolerable evil that any set of men should for a political purpose endeavor to preserve such vicious distinctions in our political canvassing as "German vote," "Irish 'vote," "Colored vote," "Catholic vote," "Methodist vote," "Quaker vote," "Native American vote," or any "vote" of the kind. We be lieve in only American citizens, and such volet only as honest differences in matters of doctrine or policy may create. We cannot reconcile it to these sentiments, that a race of men should separate them selves into a class by an organization and nomenclature calculated to draw lines between themselves and other American citizens especially do we deprecate such action when it is based upon the plea that American citizens of a certain color do not receive as many offices in proportion to numbers as American citizens of another color. Is it necessary to apportion offices according to color, race, nationality, or previous condition of servi tude? We trust the people to select the best man for the public service ; if they do not, government by the people is a comparative failure. We hold that color is not in any sense a proper factor in con' iilering fitness for office; it is to be utterly, wholly, absolutely excluded. For a time it will naturally happen that there will be fewer colored men pro rata than white fitted for office, because of the re cent barbarous injustice which excluded them from the benefits of education and business independence. The ability of the speeches made at Chillicothe shows that thU inequality will be only tem porary, If it hu not to an astonishing de gree already vanished. The State JaxmxAL has steadily befriended the colored race, from the be ginning to the end, as effectively if not as loudly ns some of the bellowing dema gogues who now seek to weld the "Colored Vote " into one solid implement for their own purposes. We take the license of true friendship in begging our colored friends not to give their natural and inalienable enemies a pretext for preserving such distinctions. Let us as soon as possible have done with all such prosorip- tion-breeding terms as these, resting upon the color of a man's skin, the kink of his hair, the place of his birth, the nature of his religious belief, or anything else than his citizenship. So far as the Chillicothe Convention confines its demands to perfect civil and political and legal equality for all races and conditions of American citizens, we are with it, heart and soul. The Dispatch pays us undeserved attention when it includes the State Journal in the statement that the newspaper managers in Columbus have in any manner failed to " write up the business interests of the town." It is true that the business men of the city have done very little in co-operating with us in this work, but the State Journal has never lost an opportunity to Bet forth the advan tages of "the town," even to such degree nnd frequency as to excite Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Springfield, ZaneBville, Akron and other papers to accuse us of " blowing." We feel that the State Journal may confidently claim a share in the prosperity of our manufacturing interests as the result of this - so-called persistent "blowing," which has called the attention of capital to our unequaled facilities in cheap coal, railway transportation, and the like. It is not a gratifying thing that any citizen of Columbus much less a daily paper of Columbus should have so soon forgotten that we employed a reporter for months in writing up the manufactures, in exist ence and in possibility, several years ago, before public attention had been much directed to that point. This reporter spent nearly his whole time for one sum mer in gathering statistics, visiting and examining manufactures, inves tigating coal fields, and so forth. The editor of the paper visited manufactories in .Springfield, Zanes ville, and other points, and wrote full descriptions of their modes of operation, for the benefit of Columbus; leading ar ticles were written calling attention to the effects of manufactures on all other kinds of business their infallible results in raising the value of all other kinds of property, and increasing all other kinds of business ; column after column was written in favor of the Hocking Valley Rail road project, as having direct bearing on all these ; and now comes a daily paper of the city (not in existence at that time, it is true,) and confesses for itself that the newspapers of Columbus have not " written up the business interests of the town," because " wehave nothinr "'- " This is rather discouraging, in view of the facts, you must admit ! We have no difficulty in agreeing with the Dispatch as to what it says of the lack of co-operation by business men. Our reporter found it almost impossible to get from men engaged in manufactures or other business a fair showing as to the amount of business they were doing, or the size of their profits or amount of their dividends. Some wero frank enough to say that after having started a profitable business in some specialty of manufactures, they had no desire to provoke competition by publishing how profitable they found it. Others would evade inquiries, putting pur reporter on with fair promises, and "keeping him trotting" to get such little' information as they were willing to give. These hidebound views of business we found it impossible in many cases to overcome. These men would not be convinced that the more competition we had the more business we should have ; that the more variety we had in our productions, the better it would be for all trades. Some few "saw the point," and co-operated energetically. We made no charge for "writing up" any of our manufactures, but some were sagacious enough to purchase and send away large editions of the paper containing notices. To this fact Columbus is largely indebted for the attention drawn to this point, as prominent in cheap coal and other manufacturing advantages. We cannot well mention names in this connection, without reflecting upon the less sagacious men, but Columbus ought to know that among the pioneers in bringing the city Into notic were Governor Dennison, "Ben" Smith, the Ilaydcns, the Browns, and a few others. It was not unusual for Mr. Smith to call at the editorial rooms as he made his way to or from early morning trains in prosecuting his large railway interests, to talk a few minutes and make a few suggestions on the subject of Columbus manufacturing interests. It is our belief that Columbus owes more to him than to any other one man ; his untiring energy, his transcendant ability as a business man, and his local pride, seemed all to center upon Columbus, and it is but tardy per formance of our duty as journalists to place the fact upon record for the city. In this connection it may not be amiss to revive another item of forgotten his tory. Some of the new men seem to have imagined that the present Board of Trade is an entirely new invention, so far as Co lumbus is concerned. The fact is that we found in connection with the work above mentioned that a Board of Trade seemed an indispensable necessity, and over a hundred business men, after much "blowing" through the State Journal and otherwise, met and formed a Board of Trade. It was duly incorporated, the Constitution and by-laws and names of members were duly recorded in a handsome blank book by the writer hereof, at his own expense, and that was the last of the first Columbus Board of Trade. If the present is not to follow in the footsteps of its illustrious predecessor, business men of Columbus must wake up and for every shame give it such countenance and co-operation as may be neces sary to keep it In healthy existence. A mere organization is not sufficient, even with the handsome Chamber placed at jts disposal by the City Council, Wedoubt whether there are many of the members of the Board of Trade of this city who have even Bhown sufficient interest since the night of its organization 'to inform themselves as to; what superb accommo dations they may find, in its Chamber, " This will never do.'' It is Simply disgusting. Gentlemen should make it part of their daily routine to show themselves " On 'Change," at least until the project is fairly started.- After that they will find sufficient inducement in the Inherent ad vantages of the custom. The New York Herald is the great accoucheur of ineffable popcock. Its latest deliverance is "Cesarism." There is not a person of sound mind in the country who can by any possibility be brought to believe that Grant has any more inclination for Cesarism than he has for Bourbonism, ' The time for Cesarisrn was when we were emerging from civil war, and he had an organized army at his command, devoted to him. He quietly assisted in the work of disorganizing and desoldierizing the grandest military force a Cesar ever had at beck and call. And now that he has proved that he 1b a Republican President, and no Cesar, the muddled Herald, eight years after the fact, frightens itself with the shadow of a past possibility, which has gone on down into the limbo, of defunct might- have-beens, because Grant was a believer in government by the people. The Herald gives an exquisite Milesian flavor to its Cesarean bosh, by gravely announcing that it is part of the programme to perpetuate the Grant dynasty by electing Phil Sheridan to the Presidency for next term. No one but an Irish man could have conceived this ravishing geneological bull, of perpetuating a Grant dynasty by means of such an illegant contrivance as the election of another man to Grant's place. It is the same thing as making a man live forever by knocking him in the head. - " ' - fancy that there are now in New I York city certain ex-army officers who could post the Herald in an episode of our history where there was real danger of a desperate attempt at Cesarism. With such an enterprising corps of " Commissioners " the Herald ought not to need more than a hint that there are nuggets to be dug out of the strata of the Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, and there-bouts.Visas. W. II. G. Adney of the Athens University has been elected to the La Moyne Professorship of Agriculture and Correlative branches in Washington and Jefferson College at Washington, Pa., which position he has accepted and will uuuuuessiy enter upon the discharge of his duties next month. After running two very narrow escapes, during the current vacation, of losing Prof, Adney, the friends of the University here had settled down to the conclusion that hiB important services were to be retained for at least another year, when lo I in a whiff he !b gobbled up and conveyed beyond our lines.

Twelve Persona Lout and Fifteen Wamadesl The Result of Carelessness on the Part or the Engineer Later Particulars from the Scene of the DUasier-The I'nptain's Ktn. r.v--K)tnlement of a Young Lady Passenger. Memphis. Aug. 23. The George C. Wolff, which blew np seventvfive miles below here, yesterday afternoon, was twentyone days from Si. Louis, and eight or nine from Shreveport, on her return. This is the third steamer Captain H. G. Carter has lost in less than two years first, the Oceanus, by explosion, and then the Lockwood, by ice. The survivors of the Wolff await an upward-bound steamer at St. Francis Island. The Phil Allen and Cheek, both bound down, were first to reach the wreck, and got there near last midnight. Both offered every possible assistance, and carried a few of the injured to Helena. The George C. Wolff was a large stern-wheeler, and one of the very best of that class of boats, the was built by Captain Gray, at Metropolis, Illinois, and named Being deBi6gneJfoP the St. Loui8 and river trade, she was ouilt very stout, and was only about eighteen months old. Twelve persons are reported lost and fifteen wounded. The officers were all saved, except the second engineer, who was on watch at the time of the explosion. He is missing. The lady passengers were nearly all saved. Mr. Nelson, from Shreveport to Memphis, waa drowned. Mr. Dawson, wife and two children, deck passengers, for Tu-pello, Mississippi, were all killed. The cabin was blown to pieces. The hull can be saved. Daniel Sullivan, of Memphis, was on board, and was saved. The spot where the Wolff blew up is known to river men as the "graveyard," being the same where the Pennsylvania and St. Nicholas exploded, and D, 8. Mc-V31H ourneu. .auu wuijr v. Tuiter was commander, and John H. Widen clerk. A white lady and two children, deck passengers, were, buried in one grave on the island, last night. A fireman and one deck passenger were put off the steamer George W. Cheek, on the wharf at Helena, this morning, both scalded, and the fireman's leg broken. The Helena World saya: "We have been told that the captain was in bed, and was awakened by hearing the engineer try the steam by the gauge cock. He was satisfied by the peculiar sound that there was no water in the boilers, and started down stairs, about which time the terrible event took place. " All three of the boilers exploded at once." The Wolff is said to have burst all three or her boilers. Her cabin was blown to pieces, but the hull is safe. The survivors are expected to pass up early tomorrow.Memphis. Aug. 24. The steamer Julia arrived here about eleven o'clock to-day, bringing most ol the survivors ot the ill-fated General Wolff, among them Capt. Harry S. Carter, commander, who was considerably burned about the head, and left leg badly bruised. Captain Carter states that a short time before the explosion he had gone to his room to take a nap, leaving the mate on watch. The first he knew of the accident he felt himself lifted into the air with a severe shock, and fell with the debris on the lower deck. As soon as he could extricate himself he glanced around and saw the forward part of the cabin and texas had been blown aft to the boilers, and that some timbers had taken fire. His hrst thought was to extinguish the flames, which, with the aid of a few others and a heavy rain which was falling at the time, he soon succeeded in doing. In the meantime one of the crew, who had been but slightly injured, seeing that the wreck had drifted near the shore. jumped out with a headline and made her last, when it was round that the boat had been but little injured, except as already stated. As soon as possible everything wss done to relieve the sufferers. The Captain states he had only ten or twelve cabin passengers, only one of whom was lost, a Mr. Nelson, a piano tuner, from New York, aged about sixty years. Owing to the condition of Captain Y iden. the clerk, who was severely bruised about the chest and throat, it was impossible to obtain a list of passengers from him, and the books were all lost. Miss Rebecca Cahn, of Jefferson, Texas, who was accompanied by her cousin, W. Solomon, of Paris, Texas, states she was on the forward guard of the boat, and owing to the severity of the storm which was raging remarked, "Let's go into the cabin," and just as she rose the explosion occurred. She was blown into the river, and seeing a man near her she grasped him by the neck. He told her to catch his left arm or she would drown both. which she did, and soon after a spar came floating by, which he seized, and they held to it, floating down the river for a long distance! until the barber of the boat came to their assistance with a pole, which her preserver caught, and still holding on to the spsr. ther were safelv landed on shore. Miss Cahn was considerably bruised. She could not learn the name of the man who saved her, but he was one oi a party oi lour belonging to the Trans-Atlantic circus. Passengers speak in the highest terms ot ine conaucioi me omcers, especially ispisin varier ana un siewara; notwun-standing that the former was severely in jured, he was most active in the work of relieving others and extinguishing the fire. The following is a lin of the lost as far as is ascertained : Peter Hapler, second engineer; Mr. Nelson, New York; Mr. Davidson, wife and two children, Shreveport; J. H. White, of Michigan, belonging to the Trans-Atlantic circus, and seven colored rousters, four of whom were found and buried. The following are wounded and all reside in St. Louis except where otherwise stated : Captain Carter, James II.

St. Louis; Perry Peedy, Bowling Green, Ky.; Isaac Simpson, New Orleans. Geo. Chattman, colored, of New Orleans, was blown overboard and drowned. . The engineer states that the helper to the engineer on duty was one of the most reliable and competent he ever saw, and can give no theory as to the cause of the explosion. The last seen of the helper was by the carpenter, who saw him try the gauge, and iust as he put down the stick the explosion occurred. Persons on shore who saw the explosion state that Bodies and tragments of timbers were blown sixty feet into the air. Captain Carter and survivors speak in warm terms of the assistance rendered by the officers of the steamers Check and Allen in relieving their wants. The second clerk, Ed. Black, the mate, Henry Bush, and the Bteward were left in charge of the wreck, ihe others left for St. Louis on the Julia. FIRES.

An ac cident occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to-day, four miles west of Cameron, by which three or Tour Ger man emigrants were latnlly injured and fifteen or twenty wounded. The accident was caused by the spread ing oi the track which threw the tender, express cars and one passenger car down an embankment and all the coaches off the track. The coach that went over the bank, some fifteen or twenty feet, contained some seventy or eighty men. women and children. The car turn ed bottom upward. Some of the emigrants became enrag ed, thinking the engineer and conductor were trying to kill them, and set upon the officers of the train with stones, and they had to nee for their lives. An hour after the accident occurred the express train, which wasan hour and a half latetcame up, and its officers, directed by Captain Davis, who was a passenger, rendered all the necessary attention to the wounded. Captnin V. H. Harrison, Assistant Master Ma chinist, was also on the train, and render ed valuable assistance.

OOMI.Y, - Editor. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY A high old railroader-Baltimore and Ohio. -Garrett, of the The attorney for the Tichborne claim ant made a speech juat a month long. He began his argument July 22, and con' eluded it August 21. Our readers will And a great deal of mighty interesting reading in this morn ing's State Journal. It Is all original, or reported for the State Journal. The Commercial is progressing very satisfactorily, as an organ. It is angling now for the colored brethren, and fixing up a slate for the county offices of Hamilton. The Succotash party has not had the advantage of much mix of the col ored element, up to date. The Statesman says the late war was prolonged, not so much through the la bors of the Copperheads as. through the influence of "loud mouthed loyalists who prolonged the contest for the opportuni ties it afforded for plunder." The editor of the Statesman was a Quartermaster, and he ought to know. A okntleman of this city writes us warmly advocating the presentation of Solon M. Shedd, of this city, as a suitable man for independent candidate for Sheriff against the regular Democratic nominee. Shedd has lived in Franklin county over twenty years, during which he has been employed in business with the Zet-tlers, the McDonalds, McColm, Miles & McDonalds, &c, &e. Harvard University has adopted the system of examinations for women which is now in vogue at the Cambridge University, of England, and the object of which is to enable Women to obtain from a first class University its certificate as to their attainments in learning. The same end would be accomplished by admitting the examined at once to the privileges and advantages of the institution. The Cincinnati Commercial has a writer who should be encouraged to enter upon a career as an inventor. He says that Jeff Davis "justifies the suspicion that he is covertly acting in the interest of the Administration." The man who could discover that should' turn his attention to perpetual motion, aerial navigation, or some other of the problems that have graveled inventors of all ages. Kenewed eflorts are making to secure V the early completion of the Atlantic and Lake Erie railway. The great mineral wealth of the country lying contiguous to that line in Southern Ohio, and its consequent advantages for the transportation of coal, are now attracting the favorable notice of Eastern capitalists, and it is be" lieved that the necessary funds to finish it will soon be forthcoming. This, if reliable, is important news for Northern as well as for Central and Southern sections of the State. J. D. said in his White Sulphur speech, that he had "never seen aSouthern woman who has been reconstructed." Jeff, and all the other old ladies still shriek for war Longstreot, Beauregard, and others who did the fighting, are not so brash about it. Jeff, says "We have been cheated rather than conquered" which is both false and undignified. Lee won the respect of every brave American by his modesty and dignity and reticence after defeat. But it hi only the great who nan accept defeat. The petticoat hero gabbles. The Zanesville Signal charges the chairman of the State Liberal Executive committee (General Brinkerhofi') with bad faith, in breaking an agreement that the Democratic and Liberal State Conventions should be held at one and the same time, with full unification of the two parties. There are some things about thiB business that no fellar can understand one of which is : If the Democracy are so glad to get rid of the Liberals, why do they whine so about it, and charge the Liberals with bad faith in dissolving the partnership? The New York Times has an Ohio letter which states on Columbus authority that it costs $15 more to ship a car of live stock from London, Ohio, to New York direct, than it does to ship it from London to Chicago and thence to New York. The same letter says : "It costs about double as much to ship car load of freight from Chillicothe, Ohio, to Baltimore, over the Baltimore and Ohio road, as it does from Cincinnati, 100 miles further west, to Baltimore. More than this, a person shipping from Chillicothe to Baltimore has to pay as much per car load as one who is shipping from St. Louis, Mo., between 400 and 600 miles further west." The Kansas papers are beginning to canvass the name of Hon. Noah C. Mc-Farland, of Topeka, for TJ. S. Senator. It won't do. There is no money in it, Mc-Farland won't pan out worth a cent. He has (as a Kansas paper says) " made an excellent record" as a State Senator of Kansas, and of Ohio too, for that matter he went through the Pomeroy-Yorke cam paign " without losing his integrity or his nerve. He was neither bought, deceived, coaxed nor soared." But, men and brelh ren, ue will place no money on deposit lor starting a National Bank. He won' do. The chief productive industry of Kansas seems to be the manufacturing of U. 8. Senators; and the Legislature that turns out Senator McFarlond won't realize dividend enough to squat a chum with, ' The Atheas Openlaa;. The campaign has opened on the Republican aide most suspiciously. The Athens meeting oil Saturday was in all respects a great success. By no means its least significant features were its unusual size and evident spirit, not to say enthusiasm. In the off year, and especially at so early a date in the canvass, the people have usually taken a languid interest in political questions, and this has been par ticularly Jrue of Republicans. But they seem to need no spurring this year. In spite of the busy season, the hoi weather, and the lack of that inspiration and ex citement which attends a great national struggle, they were out at Athens in force. What is still mora important, their sym pathies were, unmistakably with the speakers to whom they listened, and that is to say, with the great progressive party of the Republic The speeches, also, constitute a fortu nate opening to the discussions of the canvass. That of Governor Noyes squarely meets the moving questions now occupying the public mind, and handles them wisely, eloquently and ably. His show ing with reference to the condition of State affairs is at once just and impressive. It is a vindication of Bcpublican administration such as must carry conviction, command praise and enlist confidence. In reference to the railway question the Governor speaks words of sense and soberness. He deprecates an indiscriminate crusade against railways, but at the same time strongly affirms and demands their subjection to legislative control. In reference to the Credit Mobilier and Salary frauds his sentiments accord with popular conviction, and will be sealed with popu lar indorsement. Of the speech.of Senator Morton it is almost enough to say that it haB the usual force, vigor and majesty of his cam paign utterances. Its muscular logic crushes all it encounters, and its vigorous analysis lets the light ol noonday throuch every subject it grapples. We have not space to refer to its points in detail ; that. indeed, would require nearly as much space as the speech itself, which bristles with points in every paragraph and sentence. We therefore lay it in full before our readers, as we do also the .speech of Governor Noyes, ' and that delivered on the same day by the Hon. Alphonso Hart, at Xenia. The latter shows that the Governor has, in the person of his first lieutenant on the ticket, a most able and worthy auxiliary in the discussions of the canvass. Mr. Hart's speech is an utterance that deserves and will receive a large share of public attention. The full report of speeches made on Friday at the Chillicothe Convention of colored men shows that they are fully up to the average of any political convention held for several years, in ability, pith, and incisive vigor. Some things strike the beholder aB rather sui pricing, In the proceedings. For instance, in a Convention held to denounce the Administration and the Republican party for not giving colored men office, a colored man who holds office is with difficulty prevented from being choked down, when he attempts to speak ; a speaker who is denouncing the Administration because it called no col ored men to office admits that he had himself been offered an office by that same Administration; one of the delegates from this city, who wanted to be placed on an equality with white men in the distribution of patronage, recently declined an office for which there were a hundred white men of education and capacity offering themselves, on the ground that the pay was too small ; one of the members of the State Executive Committee appointed by the Convention, only a short time ago in public speech, recognized in only too flattering terms the appointment of a colored man to office in this city. And so forth. These gentlemen are all our friends, and it is not pleasant to feel obliged to disagree with them. But we cannot allow the occasion to pass without protesting against this whole business of class or race distinction. We do not admit that there is in any civil, political or legal sense anv difference whatever between Naturalized citizens, American citizens, Colored citizens, or White, Red, Black or Blue citizens; it is an intolerable evil that any set of men should for a political purpose endeavor to preserve such vicious distinctions in our political canvassing as "German vote," "Irish 'vote," "Colored vote," "Catholic vote," "Methodist vote," "Quaker vote," "Native American vote," or any "vote" of the kind. We be lieve in only American citizens, and such volet only as honest differences in matters of doctrine or policy may create. We cannot reconcile it to these sentiments, that a race of men should separate them selves into a class by an organization and nomenclature calculated to draw lines between themselves and other American citizens especially do we deprecate such action when it is based upon the plea that American citizens of a certain color do not receive as many offices in proportion to numbers as American citizens of another color. Is it necessary to apportion offices according to color, race, nationality, or previous condition of servi tude? We trust the people to select the best man for the public service ; if they do not, government by the people is a comparative failure. We hold that color is not in any sense a proper factor in con' iilering fitness for office; it is to be utterly, wholly, absolutely excluded. For a time it will naturally happen that there will be fewer colored men pro rata than white fitted for office, because of the re cent barbarous injustice which excluded them from the benefits of education and business independence. The ability of the speeches made at Chillicothe shows that thU inequality will be only tem porary, If it hu not to an astonishing de gree already vanished. The State JaxmxAL has steadily befriended the colored race, from the be ginning to the end, as effectively if not as loudly ns some of the bellowing dema gogues who now seek to weld the "Colored Vote " into one solid implement for their own purposes. We take the license of true friendship in begging our colored friends not to give their natural and inalienable enemies a pretext for preserving such distinctions. Let us as soon as possible have done with all such prosorip- tion-breeding terms as these, resting upon the color of a man's skin, the kink of his hair, the place of his birth, the nature of his religious belief, or anything else than his citizenship. So far as the Chillicothe Convention confines its demands to perfect civil and political and legal equality for all races and conditions of American citizens, we are with it, heart and soul. The Dispatch pays us undeserved attention when it includes the State Journal in the statement that the newspaper managers in Columbus have in any manner failed to " write up the business interests of the town." It is true that the business men of the city have done very little in co-operating with us in this work, but the State Journal has never lost an opportunity to Bet forth the advan tages of "the town," even to such degree nnd frequency as to excite Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton, Springfield, ZaneBville, Akron and other papers to accuse us of " blowing." We feel that the State Journal may confidently claim a share in the prosperity of our manufacturing interests as the result of this - so-called persistent "blowing," which has called the attention of capital to our unequaled facilities in cheap coal, railway transportation, and the like. It is not a gratifying thing that any citizen of Columbus much less a daily paper of Columbus should have so soon forgotten that we employed a reporter for months in writing up the manufactures, in exist ence and in possibility, several years ago, before public attention had been much directed to that point. This reporter spent nearly his whole time for one sum mer in gathering statistics, visiting and examining manufactures, inves tigating coal fields, and so forth. The editor of the paper visited manufactories in .Springfield, Zanes ville, and other points, and wrote full descriptions of their modes of operation, for the benefit of Columbus; leading ar ticles were written calling attention to the effects of manufactures on all other kinds of business their infallible results in raising the value of all other kinds of property, and increasing all other kinds of business ; column after column was written in favor of the Hocking Valley Rail road project, as having direct bearing on all these ; and now comes a daily paper of the city (not in existence at that time, it is true,) and confesses for itself that the newspapers of Columbus have not " written up the business interests of the town," because " wehave nothinr "'- " This is rather discouraging, in view of the facts, you must admit ! We have no difficulty in agreeing with the Dispatch as to what it says of the lack of co-operation by business men. Our reporter found it almost impossible to get from men engaged in manufactures or other business a fair showing as to the amount of business they were doing, or the size of their profits or amount of their dividends. Some wero frank enough to say that after having started a profitable business in some specialty of manufactures, they had no desire to provoke competition by publishing how profitable they found it. Others would evade inquiries, putting pur reporter on with fair promises, and "keeping him trotting" to get such little' information as they were willing to give. These hidebound views of business we found it impossible in many cases to overcome. These men would not be convinced that the more competition we had the more business we should have ; that the more variety we had in our productions, the better it would be for all trades. Some few "saw the point," and co-operated energetically. We made no charge for "writing up" any of our manufactures, but some were sagacious enough to purchase and send away large editions of the paper containing notices. To this fact Columbus is largely indebted for the attention drawn to this point, as prominent in cheap coal and other manufacturing advantages. We cannot well mention names in this connection, without reflecting upon the less sagacious men, but Columbus ought to know that among the pioneers in bringing the city Into notic were Governor Dennison, "Ben" Smith, the Ilaydcns, the Browns, and a few others. It was not unusual for Mr. Smith to call at the editorial rooms as he made his way to or from early morning trains in prosecuting his large railway interests, to talk a few minutes and make a few suggestions on the subject of Columbus manufacturing interests. It is our belief that Columbus owes more to him than to any other one man ; his untiring energy, his transcendant ability as a business man, and his local pride, seemed all to center upon Columbus, and it is but tardy per formance of our duty as journalists to place the fact upon record for the city. In this connection it may not be amiss to revive another item of forgotten his tory. Some of the new men seem to have imagined that the present Board of Trade is an entirely new invention, so far as Co lumbus is concerned. The fact is that we found in connection with the work above mentioned that a Board of Trade seemed an indispensable necessity, and over a hundred business men, after much "blowing" through the State Journal and otherwise, met and formed a Board of Trade. It was duly incorporated, the Constitution and by-laws and names of members were duly recorded in a handsome blank book by the writer hereof, at his own expense, and that was the last of the first Columbus Board of Trade. If the present is not to follow in the footsteps of its illustrious predecessor, business men of Columbus must wake up and for every shame give it such countenance and co-operation as may be neces sary to keep it In healthy existence. A mere organization is not sufficient, even with the handsome Chamber placed at jts disposal by the City Council, Wedoubt whether there are many of the members of the Board of Trade of this city who have even Bhown sufficient interest since the night of its organization 'to inform themselves as to; what superb accommo dations they may find, in its Chamber, " This will never do.'' It is Simply disgusting. Gentlemen should make it part of their daily routine to show themselves " On 'Change," at least until the project is fairly started.- After that they will find sufficient inducement in the Inherent ad vantages of the custom. The New York Herald is the great accoucheur of ineffable popcock. Its latest deliverance is "Cesarism." There is not a person of sound mind in the country who can by any possibility be brought to believe that Grant has any more inclination for Cesarism than he has for Bourbonism, ' The time for Cesarisrn was when we were emerging from civil war, and he had an organized army at his command, devoted to him. He quietly assisted in the work of disorganizing and desoldierizing the grandest military force a Cesar ever had at beck and call. And now that he has proved that he 1b a Republican President, and no Cesar, the muddled Herald, eight years after the fact, frightens itself with the shadow of a past possibility, which has gone on down into the limbo, of defunct might- have-beens, because Grant was a believer in government by the people. The Herald gives an exquisite Milesian flavor to its Cesarean bosh, by gravely announcing that it is part of the programme to perpetuate the Grant dynasty by electing Phil Sheridan to the Presidency for next term. No one but an Irish man could have conceived this ravishing geneological bull, of perpetuating a Grant dynasty by means of such an illegant contrivance as the election of another man to Grant's place. It is the same thing as making a man live forever by knocking him in the head. - " ' - fancy that there are now in New I York city certain ex-army officers who could post the Herald in an episode of our history where there was real danger of a desperate attempt at Cesarism. With such an enterprising corps of " Commissioners " the Herald ought not to need more than a hint that there are nuggets to be dug out of the strata of the Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, and there-bouts.Visas. W. II. G. Adney of the Athens University has been elected to the La Moyne Professorship of Agriculture and Correlative branches in Washington and Jefferson College at Washington, Pa., which position he has accepted and will uuuuuessiy enter upon the discharge of his duties next month. After running two very narrow escapes, during the current vacation, of losing Prof, Adney, the friends of the University here had settled down to the conclusion that hiB important services were to be retained for at least another year, when lo I in a whiff he !b gobbled up and conveyed beyond our lines.

Memphis. Aug. 23. The George C. Wolff, which blew np seventvfive miles below here, yesterday afternoon, was twentyone days from Si. Louis, and eight or nine from Shreveport, on her return. This is the third steamer Captain H. G. Carter has lost in less than two years first, the Oceanus, by explosion, and then the Lockwood, by ice. The survivors of the Wolff await an upward-bound steamer at St. Francis Island. The Phil Allen and Cheek, both bound down, were first to reach the wreck, and got there near last midnight. Both offered every possible assistance, and carried a few of the injured to Helena. The George C. Wolff was a large stern-wheeler, and one of the very best of that class of boats, the was built by Captain Gray, at Metropolis, Illinois, and named Being deBi6gneJfoP the St. Loui8 and river trade, she was ouilt very stout, and was only about eighteen months old. Twelve persons are reported lost and fifteen wounded. The officers were all saved, except the second engineer, who was on watch at the time of the explosion. He is missing. The lady passengers were nearly all saved. Mr. Nelson, from Shreveport to Memphis, waa drowned. Mr. Dawson, wife and two children, deck passengers, for Tu-pello, Mississippi, were all killed. The cabin was blown to pieces. The hull can be saved. Daniel Sullivan, of Memphis, was on board, and was saved. The spot where the Wolff blew up is known to river men as the "graveyard," being the same where the Pennsylvania and St. Nicholas exploded, and D, 8. Mc-V31H ourneu. .auu wuijr v. Tuiter was commander, and John H. Widen clerk. A white lady and two children, deck passengers, were, buried in one grave on the island, last night. A fireman and one deck passenger were put off the steamer George W. Cheek, on the wharf at Helena, this morning, both scalded, and the fireman's leg broken. The Helena World saya: "We have been told that the captain was in bed, and was awakened by hearing the engineer try the steam by the gauge cock. He was satisfied by the peculiar sound that there was no water in the boilers, and started down stairs, about which time the terrible event took place. " All three of the boilers exploded at once." The Wolff is said to have burst all three or her boilers. Her cabin was blown to pieces, but the hull is safe. The survivors are expected to pass up early tomorrow.Memphis. Aug. 24. The steamer Julia arrived here about eleven o'clock to-day, bringing most ol the survivors ot the ill-fated General Wolff, among them Capt. Harry S. Carter, commander, who was considerably burned about the head, and left leg badly bruised. Captain Carter states that a short time before the explosion he had gone to his room to take a nap, leaving the mate on watch. The first he knew of the accident he felt himself lifted into the air with a severe shock, and fell with the debris on the lower deck. As soon as he could extricate himself he glanced around and saw the forward part of the cabin and texas had been blown aft to the boilers, and that some timbers had taken fire. His hrst thought was to extinguish the flames, which, with the aid of a few others and a heavy rain which was falling at the time, he soon succeeded in doing. In the meantime one of the crew, who had been but slightly injured, seeing that the wreck had drifted near the shore. jumped out with a headline and made her last, when it was round that the boat had been but little injured, except as already stated. As soon as possible everything wss done to relieve the sufferers. The Captain states he had only ten or twelve cabin passengers, only one of whom was lost, a Mr. Nelson, a piano tuner, from New York, aged about sixty years. Owing to the condition of Captain Y iden. the clerk, who was severely bruised about the chest and throat, it was impossible to obtain a list of passengers from him, and the books were all lost. Miss Rebecca Cahn, of Jefferson, Texas, who was accompanied by her cousin, W. Solomon, of Paris, Texas, states she was on the forward guard of the boat, and owing to the severity of the storm which was raging remarked, "Let's go into the cabin," and just as she rose the explosion occurred. She was blown into the river, and seeing a man near her she grasped him by the neck. He told her to catch his left arm or she would drown both. which she did, and soon after a spar came floating by, which he seized, and they held to it, floating down the river for a long distance! until the barber of the boat came to their assistance with a pole, which her preserver caught, and still holding on to the spsr. ther were safelv landed on shore. Miss Cahn was considerably bruised. She could not learn the name of the man who saved her, but he was one oi a party oi lour belonging to the Trans-Atlantic circus. Passengers speak in the highest terms ot ine conaucioi me omcers, especially ispisin varier ana un siewara; notwun-standing that the former was severely in jured, he was most active in the work of relieving others and extinguishing the fire. The following is a lin of the lost as far as is ascertained : Peter Hapler, second engineer; Mr. Nelson, New York; Mr. Davidson, wife and two children, Shreveport; J. H. White, of Michigan, belonging to the Trans-Atlantic circus, and seven colored rousters, four of whom were found and buried.

St. Louis; Perry Peedy, Bowling Green, Ky.; Isaac Simpson, New Orleans. Geo. Chattman, colored, of New Orleans, was blown overboard and drowned. . The engineer states that the helper to the engineer on duty was one of the most reliable and competent he ever saw, and can give no theory as to the cause of the explosion. The last seen of the helper was by the carpenter, who saw him try the gauge, and iust as he put down the stick the explosion occurred. Persons on shore who saw the explosion state that Bodies and tragments of timbers were blown sixty feet into the air. Captain Carter and survivors speak in warm terms of the assistance rendered by the officers of the steamers Check and Allen in relieving their wants. The second clerk, Ed. Black, the mate, Henry Bush, and the Bteward were left in charge of the wreck, ihe others left for St. Louis on the Julia. FIRES.

An ac cident occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to-day, four miles west of Cameron, by which three or Tour Ger man emigrants were latnlly injured and fifteen or twenty wounded.

The coach that went over the bank, some fifteen or twenty feet, contained some seventy or eighty men. women and children. The car turn ed bottom upward. Some of the emigrants became enrag ed, thinking the engineer and conductor were trying to kill them, and set upon the officers of the train with stones, and they had to nee for their lives.
