The MILK IN THE Cocoa NUT.-The
Baltimore Exchange thus accounts for it.:
"The Governor of Florida has issued q
call for more volunteers, to exterminate
that redoubtable Indian, Billy Bowlegs.-
That the volunteers will be forthcoming we
do not doubt; but that Billy Bowlegs will
be exterminated we think exceedingly i'm
probable. The fact is-and herein lies the
explanation of that interminable war waged
against the willy Seminole-the death or
capture of Bowlegs would be serious cal
amity to the people of Florida. We do
not know how many thousands of dollars it
has cost the Republic to carry on that war
but we do know that during its continu-
ance innumerable colonies, majors, captains
and lieutenants of volunteers have been
fed, clothed and supported at the expense
of the nation, and that various bills have
been paid by Government, "for losses sus-
tained and expenses incurred" whose ag-
gregaregate amount will represent, to a
fraction, the precise value of Bowlegs to the
people of Florida. If the old chieftain
should unfortunately be killed, there would
be no more golden eggs; and we have no
fear, therefore, of his dying other than q
natural death.

Personal Property Exemptions

Personal Property Exemptions.
The House bill so amending the Home
stead Exemption Law that persons who
have no real estate may hold $500 worth
of personal property secure from execution,
has passed the Senate. It is therefore a
law, though we are not advised when the
law takes effect.
Protection of debtors by acts of legisla-
ton has gone to such lengths in Ohio, that
the repeal of all collection laws would be
but another step in the same direction,
and might as we'll be taken as not. Cred.
itors long since ceased to have much con-
sideration at the hands of lawmakers, ex-
cept in the way of taxation; still the repeal
of all laws for the collection of debts will
not be likely to pass, at least as long as
the legal profession exert potent influence
in the General Assembly.
The Homestead Exemption Law has
the meritorious object of encouraging men
to secure homes for themselves and fami-
lies, but the personal property exemption
looks very much like encouraging debtors
to defraud at pleasure.-Leader.

A Pardon Scene..Miss Chase.

Mr.. French, the member from Lake, in
letter to his paper, the Telegraph, makes
record of the following Penitentiary scene
which occurred short time ago:
A few years since there was sent to that
institution from Hamilton county, for long
term of years, on charge of burglary, an
old Polish exile; an old man who had
fought bravely for his country and liberty.
In this land ofstrangers,a and with no friends,
the old man had never for moment en-
tertained the idea of release, and patiently
was toiling through his weary months
Some facts have recently come to light, as
l hear the rumor, showing that the old
man was not guilty of the crime charged
upon him. At any rate, the Governor de-
cided upon his PARDON. On Saturday
afternoon, Gov. Chase's daughter, fair
and noble girl of seventeen or eighteen
summers-and who in her person proves
that the generally accepted truth that great
men never have great sons, does not reach
dauqhters-t takes the Pardon and makes
her way to the Prison. Without intimat-
ing her mission, she desires the Warden to
ask the old Polander, whose name I have
now forgotten, to come to the sitting-room.
The old man, his head white with the ac-
cumlated burden of years and trouble, was
not long in answering the summons, for
who, thought he, in all this world could
ask for him. The Pardon was put in his
trembling hands! Oh! then the joy! 1t
was all so unexpected-and came through
such hands! The old hero fairly capered
for joy. He could scarcely find words
among his broken English, through which
to tell his thankfulness. All, it was q
blessed scene for those who had the joy
full privilege of looking on. The fair and
modest heroine, know will shrink from
this public recital; but one cannot forbear
telling so beautiful an event.

The Side show.

At the time of the Grow and Keitt az
fair in the body of the House of Represen-
tatives, there was said to have been pri-
vate fight in the lobby, but we have never
seen the facts until told by the Washing
ton correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat, who says:
There was IN independent affair that
night between Wright and Walbridge, from
Wisconsin. At one time the speaker, in
order to keep the national democrats to
their work, gave orders to the doorkeeper
to let NO one in or out. This excluded
Wright and brother member who had
been down stairs taking drink. On their
return, they tried to prevail on the door
keeper at one of the side lobbies to admit
them, but Wallbridge, who was also in
the lobby, objected. A quarrel ensued.-
The doorkeepers interposed, and one of
them held Wright, who, while in that sit
uation, kept kicking at Wallbridge, who
was fifteen feet distant. Wright certainly
kicked, but the kicks fell short of the mark
by twelve and a-half feet, for / considerer
two AID a-half feet liberal allowance for
the length of his legs. The only damage
done, was to the doorkeeper who held
Wright, and who, to use his own express
sion, had his shins barked. The final
episode of the war of the night session is
now on record.

The ssHarmonious Democracy.n

The GHarmOniOus sDem0cracy.,,
The history of political parties in this
country, does not furnish q parallel to the
condition of the dominant party in this GOV
ernment. The betrayal of the Wing party
by JOHN TYLER did not leave it in half 50
bad . condition as IS the so-called s.Nation-
al Democracy" one year after JAMES Bu-
cHASAS assumes the reigns of government.
We were told on the stump in 1856, tha.
the election Of Mr.. Buchanan was to be
the grand panacea for all national ills, but
ere it has completed a single year of its
constitutional term, it is beset with difficult
ties within and without, that threaten its
utter overthrow, and with it, the govern
ment itself. And what is most remarka-
bic, the most fearful opposition to the Pres
ident is from members of bis own party,
on account of his base desertion of the
principles be stood pledged to carry out.
We opposed his election, believing that
the policy of those who urged his claims,
was fraud upon the public. We have
not been deceived in our guesses, therefore,
we must be pardoned for looking upon the
present state of discord in the ranks of the
harmonious" with complacency, if not
with absolute pleasure. Not even is there
harmony of feeling in either of the section
al wings of the party. The northern wing
is divided on the Kansas question-only
that portion going with the President for
the Lecompton Constitution, who have
been bought up with public patronage
The Southern wing is divided on the Nj
cragua policy. The condition of things is
bad, and the various tunes played by the
different organs, being pitched to differ
ent keys, produce anything but harmoni-
GUS music.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1858-03-18

sT The st. Louis Democrat thinks
that the Lecompton Constitution ought
not to be called the "Lecompton fraud, :"
and gives singular reason for it. 1t
says:
We notice that large number of jour
mails throughout the country have commit
ted the mistake, and we confess to the err
ror ourselves denouncing the hecompton
Constitution as fraud Now we are
we'll satisfied that this very feature is what
renders it most attractive to the nationsl
demagogues. If it had been continuously
spoken Of as fair and honest, they would at
once have refused to touchit. lis because
they became satisfied of its fraudulent ma
turo that they and the Administration
seized upon it with such avidity, and cling
to it so tenaciously. Even the bare sug-
gestion of honest dealing on the part OF
Calhoun, puts the Charleston Mercury and
Richmond South, and such organs, into
very tumult of disgust.

Delfrium Tremen...

The rapid increase Of this terrible fSsuls
of the use of spirituous liquors, ought to
admonish every moderate as well as hard
driuker to let the poisonous stuff entirely
alone. For the year ending March 1st,
eighty-five patients were under treatment
for dsliriuns tremens at the Cincinnati
Commercial Hospital, against fifty for the
year preceding. In many instances, the
Hospital Report says, the disease assumed
an unusually obstinate type, defying reme-
dies heretofore regarded as specifies. The
per centage of deaths from this cause was
twice as great during the last, as the pre-
ceding year. The Cincinnati Gazette says
How much of this waste of life is to be
ascribed to adulterated liquors, would be
difficult to say. Ancient writers make no
mention of delirium tremens, or allude to il
so vaguely, that we can scarcely affirm
that they knew of its existence. Every
man. past middle age, can recollect when
its occurrence was very rare. A little more
than forty years ago, an English surgeon,
whose practice lay chiefly among that
hard-drinking class, the smugglers, describ-
ed it in treatise as curious, aud perhaps
epidemic malady. Nowadays, almost ev-
cry paper contains some account ofits raw
ages. Especially since the celebrated Bor-
deaux chemist, Pierre Lacour, some thirty
wears since, made known the art of manu-
featuring liquors without distilation, the
destruction Of life and reason by this ono
cause, has gone on with an ever increasing
extent. So long as men will drink, under
the names Of brandy, whisky, and gin, COM
pounds that belong rather to the chemists
shop than to the restaurant, we suppose
there is no help for this, though it would
seem that death is solemn enough without
the attendance of reptiles and demons.

A Good Time.

A number of our citizens-meu that re-
we're the name Of JACKSON, and supported
him before Democracy became a cheat and
fraud, met at the "Amer;can House" on
Monday evening last, the 18th, to celebrate
bis birth day. A number of toasts were
drank and an excellent supper partaken Of
c. F. Worries, Esq, being called upon
made short, but excellent speech, giving
an interesting history Of the origin, pro-
gress, DC, of the parties that now divide
our countrymen. He. was originally a
jackson man himself, and if you look
around you, is it not remarkable how few of
the original supporters of jackson, now be-
long TO the so-called Democratic party.
They, said Mr.. ", shave been read out"
And why? Because they refused 10 sub
scribe to all the wrongs committed in the
name of that party,-to making 1t the
"livery of Heaven to serve the devil in"
His description of the frauds and wrongs
committed by the present Administration,
was not calculated to f1atter the Lecompton-
ties much. The effort of Mr.. V. through
out, was happy one, apd was attentively
listened 10. He will do good work in the
coming campaign, and if his speech on
Monday evening, which was an inpromptu
effort, is any index to what he can do, we
bespeak for him a place in the foremost
ranks of the Republican speakers.
