ing seen an article IN our paper stating
that horses had been rendered gentle nv

who would suffer no person 10 handle him.
Mr.. c. fastened him IN the stable, and,
after considerable trouble, succeeded in
breathing several times his nostrils. BE.
fore he left the stable the mule became
gentle, and would stand still aud suffer
himself to be rubbed, and would nose and
smell around him. He followed Mr.. c.
out of the stable, around the yard, aud
wanted to 60 into the house. We advise

We do not hesitate TO express the opinion,
that if there were now majority OF Loco
Focos in Congress, with Mr.. Van Buren,
in The Presidential chair, higher scale
of duties would have been adopted, with
scarcely shadow of opposition, than that
contained in the bill vetoed by John Tyler.
The argument of the Enquirer, as we have
all along coniended, is unansweIable. All
we are asionished at is that any state OF

ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT.
Aug, l6, 1912.

Mr.. Faran, Speaker of the Senate, in
speech in Cincinnati since his return, devel-
oped an item or two more OF The management
and lin-panning Of the couspratars. Nothing
shows more Clearly the desperation Of the alb.
equauIating traitors than the impudence with
which they deny the truth facts that are as
we'll known here as that the absquaiulators
themselves were here. Ford and Powell have
both impudently asserted that their resigna-
tons' were without coDcer-were sponlan-
eous-merely simultaneous burst Of ahsquat
uiaiion, on the II day Of August, lS42. Now
it is known here, and proven, that Yesgna-
t ons were arranged on the night Of the 9Th,
10 tinspan conclave-days before Byngton's
bill was thought Of. That Alfred Kelley har.
raDgued the old and obstinate whg members
night after night, in their Tin pan, TO bring
them to the sticking point. That Dewey Of
the Senate, bavng been elected by only few
votes, refused 10 risk reelection, having on
ly a year yet 10 serve-he had no confidence
that his constituents would sustain treason
and snarcby. Van, VOrhes, tits well known
here was at lesst opposed 10 The conspiracy
That Goodman was alrAidto resign, alhough
his term expires This fall, knowing, that he
could not be re- elected. That Nash had tiou
Bile at home among his .whig brethern, and il
would be unsafe for him TO risk il he having
another year 10 serve. Mr.. Thomas's time
expires this fall, but his reelection was also
known 10 be out Of The question, and he refus-
ed 10 take the responsibility, and 60, home a.
mong the contractors on the public works,
He was therefore made the Judas IcariOt. as
we'll as Chambers of.be House, TO hold the
designations and present them. Without one
of these four Senators would resign, The quo
rum IN the Senate could not be Destroyed
hence the drawing or lots between Van
Vorbes and Dewey, and Van became the iona
for the whales belley,
These conspirators not only resigned after
long discussion and premeditaiion, but they
appointed their Judas 1scariot, 10 each House,
to carry the bag containing the designations!

as Ford and Powell 60 before there constit-

in this proud State, where, as the Charleston
Mercury we'll remarks, The Clay banner is

it was first uufolded. North Carolina was se-

Alas for Mr.. CIayP He s beaten on the very

arrow has brought him down 10 the earth,
The very nest-egg ol federalism is added.
Our sister State has ou,done the Old Domin-

THE FIRE GETTING TOO HOT.


The fede. al plo.io break up the Legislature
to create excitement for political aud party pur
poses, is likely 10 overlCap itself. They nave
raised the steam Of public Indignation higher
than they intended, and it is likely TO scad
them TO death.
The FIRE got too hot in Prcble for Joe HaW-
kins, and he put off 10 Cincinnati TO put him
self under the Keeping Of one of his advisers,
John G. Wright of anti efsrsonian memory
aud as fit companion, The wings OF Clnc'n-
natl got a iiUe coon and paraded it and Haw-
kins together al public meetingl Tho C'n-
cinnat Eoquirer tells this Story Of Jnseys sue
cess al home where he wasn't nominated for
re- election:
1--WE have been credibly informed that as
Hawkins, the Prebe county absquatulator,
was dec, lining to knot of his parisans at Ea-
ton, "a few dsys ago, about the treason at Co
lumbus,- sun-btowned contractor, who had
been toiing 10 desilution for months, stepped
up to him and demanded 10 know why he had
couspired 10 break up The Legislature, and
break down the bill for the payment of con-
lractoIsl Oh! said Hawkins, that was the
fault ofthe loco foco Speakers; they did not
sign the bill. '.know beuer,' said the sturdy
wotke; 'thebil would have,been signed + now
law, had you not runaway Ike a pack Of
uaitors.' He said he had been a whig
but was one no longer, and in the warmth of
his indignation, would have made his ab-
squa.ulatng representative feel the deserved
chastieement of an outraged man, had not
the by-staDders nterfered. Such is the spr.
it that prevails throughout the whole North
western Ohio"
A DANGEROUS SOPHISM.
There is no wrong in public servants sur.
rendering their authority TO the people-no
danger in ii! So said Mr.. Coffin in his speech
of Wednesday night. But is there no danger
no wrong 10 an officer suurrendering in the
face Of battle! Was there no treason in Hull
throwing mp his commission when at the mer-
cy of the foe? would there be no danger. no
wrong, in third of the next Legisaufe,when
impoflan. business is 10 be transacted, smul-
taneously laying down their power at the feet
of the people!- would there be no wrong in
Chief Justice, when about to administer the
oath of office 10 new Executive, 10 put off
his official robes4 Would there be no pubs
lie wrong in all lhis3 Would there beno n-
suit to the public will-no disregard of duty.
no treason to those whose Interestingly had
sworn TO be true! Legislators are elected for
whole term, and not for an optional period.
The acceptance of designations is a matter Of
