BGS We noticed that the Butler
Pony was posted to address a meeting
at. Springboro', Warren county, on the
9TH inst. We think he had better be
at home, making some effort to induce
those disaffected Republicans to sup
port him next October. From the diff
ferent grounds Corwin and him take in
relation to the admission ofslave States,
we think the "Pony" could not do the
"Wagon boy" any good in his district.
Come home, Lewis, andf up yoE. own
affairs. ~

Our outside this week is pretty much

we iaSieeNhe attention Of the reader.-
It is all interesting and important, es.
peciallystbe communication. which hap
pens to come from as able and as good
q Republican as there is in the District
but like many others, he is sick of the
manner in which his party was imposed
upon, by foisting upon them L. D
Campbell as their candidate for Con.
Sress. Read it ye Republicans, and
bear in mind that it speaks but the sen,
timents of hundreds of others who sup
ported the present nominee in times
gone by.

BE- To those Republicans who pro-
fess to fear that the English Bill will
keep Kansas out ofthe Union because
she has not a population sufficient to
meet it's requirements, we commend the
following document. It was drawn up
to induce some Republicans to vote for
the Crittenden Bill, who were rather dis
posed to go against it. Read:
1.-THE population of Kansas, from the
nearly or quite equal to the present frac-
tional ratio for a member OF Congress in
the States, and greater than the represen-
tative population of many of the States
at the time of their admission into the
Union. So there can be no valid OBJ
lection to her admission on account OF
"imsv6icient p~opulation." Signed by
GALUSHA A. GROW
Republican Chairman of the Committee
On Territories, Thirty fourth Congress
j. X. GIDDINGS,
A. o. GRANGER,
S. S. PURVIANCE,
JUSTIN S. MORRILL,,
JOHN J. PERRY.
AS the Republican leaders have GER
tilted that Kansas has got the population
demanded by the English Bill, ofcourse
there can be no further objections made
10 that measure.

p The "Butler Pony" was in town
on Saturday morning last. He was
first discovered by a democrat; "hitch-
ed" to a rack near the Depot, anxious
ly waiting for some of his ardent Re-
publican friends to come and escort him
down town. The democrat seeing that
fhe HPony" was suffering "mentally'
and none Of his friends near, started in
pursuit of some to take charge of him.
After considerable effort he found one
or two, who forthwith made tracks for
the Depot, to release the said "Pony"
from his "hitching," and exhibit him
around, but from some cause or other,
but few were permitted to see him.
He remained in town only two or three
hours. The question now is, hadn't he
a ''clean pair of heels to show" to those
of his friends here who are anxious to
have a sight of him? Why was he not
trotted around? Who can answer?

D- "Friend NJ" who writes the "bit
of-information" to the Dayton Gazette,
that there is some disaffection among
the Democracy of Gratis township, in
relation to the running of Mr.. Vallan-
digham, is hoaxing the Gazette man
most beautifully. There is not even
the shadow of truth in the "bit of in
formation The Democracy of Gratis
township, and indeed we may add the
whole county, were never better united,
more harmonious or more sanguine of
q glorious triumph han in the Con-
gressional contest. Mr.. Yallandigham
will get much larger vote in cold
Preble" than he ever has yet, and all
the disafection that does really exist, is
in the ranksssof the opposition, among
the true Republicans, who are disgust
ed at the name Mr.. Campbell harter-
ed off their party in his speech at the
New Paris Convention. We kope there
fore, that the democracy of Montgom-
cry will place no confidence in the Ga
zett's ''bit Of information" because We
happen to know who Friend NJ" is,
and Know that he knows nothing at all
about the political complexion of this
county, outside of his own precinct, and
VIE doubt if he can tell even what will
be lone there, because we know of sew
eral there who he reports as call right"
for Campbell, who 'ciW not support him.
The democracy of Montgomery and But
Ter can rely upon Preble giving Val. a
larger vote than she ever has yet. Stick
4 pin there, Mr.. Gazette and "friend NJ"

NEW TOBACCO QUEsTIoN."-The important
question OF the possibility of poisoning by cigars
impregnated with arsenic has been raised by the
recent death, in France, of priest named Bottaro
supposed to have been poisoned by another priest
An investigation has been undertaken to ascertain
whether it be possible probable that arsencated
cigars can cause death by the aspiration of their
smoke lmpregnated with volatilised arsenic by its
admission in the saliva without such changes and very
important are the conclusions arrived at "There
are four ways" remarked the investigators sin
which the introduction of arsencic into the animal
economy may be effected through the medium ofci-
gars by impregnaton with powerful solution of the
polson by its introduction into the candescent end,
so that it may reach and mix with the saliva during
smoking; or, finally in larger quantity hidden in the
central part of cigars Poisoning is hardly possible
in the first or second cases. In the third instance it
is nconceivable 1t might occur by a combination
of two or three of these methods. The question of
the formation of arsenuretted hydrogen is not set
tied" In reading this report, we seem to be trans
ported to the days of the BOrgias when the poison
ed taper falsely bearing the motto, aliis iaserri
endo consunor, destroyed other exstences in sacr;
fcng its own; and when the flowers of the hall room
were scattered with alien and lethal perfumes If
well to be assured that those tabled horrors are
also impossibilites. The mere suggestion of this
most "deleterious sOphisticatOn " of tobacco must
carry alarm and discomfort to the soul of any rich
uncle in the habit of smoking his favorite nenhews
cigars; while for modern blowers of anti-blasts
to tobacco it furnishes patent and effective insinu
alton. This report, however, practically negatives
the possibility of such crime being successfully ner
petrated, since it is only in those cases where the
impalpable powder is made to mix with the saliva :.
in other words where detection is almost inevitable
that this detestable expedient could be effectively
employed.-The Lancet.

THE NEW WORKERS AND THEIR TURKISH
GUEST

The New York Herald, in noticing the attentions
paid to Rear Admiral Mohammed Pacha and suite,
by the corporate authorities of that city, SAYS:
Rear Admiral Mohammed Pacha and his suite
expressed the greatest satisfaction with their recep
ton on Monday, at the hands of the Mayor, Com
mon Council and the citizens; but as his visit is
for the purpose of business than for pleasure
the Pacha desired to remain unmolested Yesterday
in order to have time to despatch his government
an account of the manner in which he had been re-
celved The comparatively copious fall of snow,
however, was too great temptation to be overlook
ed, and so it determined by the Committee of the
the Common Council and few citizens tu ten
der to the Pacha and his suite the offer of a
short sleigh ride through the city, for the tre-
BILE purpose of CARRYING out the design of piying
the guests an hosptabie reception and an oppor
tunlty to enjoy the novelty of a sleigh ride,
together with view of the more desirable portions
OF the city. Messrs Acker Coyler kindly tender
ed to the committee the use of their finest SLEIGH
with six spirited horses for the OCCASION and after
much persuasion the Turkish guests were prevailed
upon to accept the invitation to take short ride.
Accordingly, about three o'clock, the magni
hcent turn out drove up to the st. Nicholas attract
ing no little attention from the large crowd which
soon collected in front of the hotel The news spread
rapidly that the Turks were going to be treated to
sleigh ride, and by the time the suite prepared to
enter the sleigh an assemblage of several hundred
persons had collected. The Pacha and his suite
not long in making their appearance, and they
took their seats they were greeted with enthusias-
tic cheers, which compliment duly acknowledge
ed by the Pacha in series of bows and smiles com
bining Oriental courtesy with American apprecia-
ton.
There were among the invited guests, Rear Ad-
miral Mohammed Pacha, Hassan Bey, the Turkish
Consul, Mr.. Oscanyan, the interpreter, Alderman
Boole, Councilman Van Tine, C. T. McClenachan,
I. s. Minis and others, the remaining two of the
Turkish guests being too much indispo ed to at
tend. As the party drove off, they were saluted
with enthusiastic cheers, which were duly acknow-
lpdo hv tha oha nd Al.
down Broadway, the party attracted the utmost
curiosity; and whenever they were recognized they
were received with a cheering welcome, which
must have impressed the Pacha with a favorable
sleigh load would pass, and as the national fez of
the Turk was recognized, a genuine democratic
hurra greeted the guests while the little boys on
the sidewalks threw up their caps, the ladies stared
and bowed and forgot to hold up their skirts, and
everybody seemed to wish the party a merry sleigh
ride

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-We learn from correspond
ent, that horrible occurrence was enacted in
place called the Windham Settlement, eight miles
from Timmonsville, on the 4th inst.
1t appears that this place is one which is resorted
to for the purpose of drinking and negro trading at
all times-the Sabbath day not even excepted A
committee formed by the citizens of the District
for the purpose of suppressng such places of vice
and iniquity. On the 4th inst about seventy five
men, armed, went to this place of resort for drink
ing The law breakers had been apprised that the
Vigilance Committee, called, would be there, and
they Immediately armed themselves for a defence;
when one of the desperadoes fired, wounding one of
the committee. The fire was returned, killing Ca
leb Freeman and Abraham Windham, and seriously
Wounding Z. A. Windham and Thomas Windham.
Several others were wounded. OF the Vigilance
COMMITTEE, one was badly cut, and is supposed to
be mortally wounded. Two others are wounded,
but our correspondent did not ascertain whether
they were considered dangerous. DR.. Hunter, of
Tmmonsville was in attendance at the scene of the
dead and dying. A jury of inquest was in attend
.ance on the 5th examining the witnesses in relation
to the death of Freeman and Windham.- Washing

EXTENSIVE FAILURE AND FoRGERIEs The LYNCH
burg Courier of Saturday says Our community
mas been considerably exercised for the last day or
two on the subject of certain developments regard
ing the operations of citizen of Bedford, whose
business transactions in this city have been of heavy
character; The party to whom we allude, Mr.. VIM.
Glsh, has long been leading merchant and heavy
trader in Bedford, and has heretofore borne the
character OF being man of large means and relia-
olllty. 1t has now come to light however, that he
has for some time been sustaining himself and credit
by species of financial operations and forgeries which
have brought ruin and dishonor upon himself and
loss los upon many others. To meet his engagements
ne has had resort to the expedient of wholesale
forgery of various responsible names on business
paper, which paper he has from time to time passed
10 other persons at very enormous discount.
1t is presumed that there is not less than SlOOO
worth of his paper, the most of which doubtless
bears forged endorsements held by different per-
sons, many of them in this city. We hear of var-
Gus persons here who hold it in sums ranging from
one up to five thousand dollars Thepersons whose
names are forged we believe, all citizens of Bed
ford. The liabilities of this sklful operator are
very heavy-and he leaves no effects-having made
disposition Of all his property some time since He
mas u LETT for parts unknown. When last heard from
he was in Richmond.
