TIL E ARMISTICE.
Hostilities Suspended Between the Allies and
Austria.

The following important announcement was
posted in Paris on the It'll inst
An armistce has been agreed upon between the Empe
For Of Austria and the Emperor Of the French Commits
oners about TO be named see the duration aud
aArses of the armistce.
The following is the original of the first despatch
Dubhshed in the Paris lNpSsieW, a slightly erro
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-07-22

The note in the .Noniteur confirms the general
anticipation that the armisce was dictated by po-
ltical and not by military considerations. The
Emperor of Austria has not yet been so thoroughly
beaten that he is reduced to the hnmiliating neces-
sity of begging terms of peace from his adversary.
The victory Of Solferno, complete rs it was, only
forced the Austrian army to retire to its natural
base Of operations; and, although peoples faith in
the quadrilateral, as in many other Austrian
illusions, is beginning to fail, no one doubt
Austrians would still fight another desperate
wrested out of their grasp. At the same time if the
Emperor Napoleon were ambitious only of the fame
Of a conqueror, and desired nothing else than to
bring the war to an end speedily as possible it
would have been gross blunder for him, in his
military capacity rs commander-in-clief, to delay
even Tor single day pressing the enemy while his
own resources were all complete, and the Ans
TRANS had not yet recovered from the demoralizing
effects of their defeat at Solferno. Therefore, II
Louis Napoleon had only been a French general,
we may presume that, supposing Francis Joseph
to have prayed for an armistce, he would peremp-
torlly have refused the petition. But as he
ruler of the nation phose armies he leads to
c..ctory, ne Emperor of The French has to think
Of other MsagS than planning attacks on Verona
and Mdntua. His coup d'Gil must embrace the
whole OF Europe instead Of being restricted to the
battle fields Of Lombardy, and he has to calculate
the effects Of his military successes not only on
he cnen,y ,cittin range Of his rifed cannon, bit
at me Courts Of London, Berlin and 81. Peters
burg, and upon the schole German people, uhich
so inpdtienay d,caits the non,enl aeh8n II aciH
hdce an excuse for entering into the ,cdr.
Having regard then, to his political position,
there can be no doubt that it is master stroke Of
craft on The part Of the Emperor Napoleon to grant
an armistice to Austria at this conjuncture. Prs-
sia after long hesitation, after the battle of
Soerino to have made up her mind to act. Her
military preparations were completed, and orders
given for zach disposition of the German army
that il might be ready at any moment to assume the
offensive IN q war with France; and, houing thus
taken her measures Prussia offered TO ne neu.

these terms is still uncertain; but it seems pro-
bable that they would give freedom to Lombardy

ALARMED.

Our Democratic friends have concluded that
we are badly scared in this district, from the
fact that Messrs. Schenck ard Galloway have
addressed or are to address meetings in Lick
ing, and Messrs. Delano aud Stanton in this
county. Applying the same kind of evidence
to themselves, and it would appear that how
ever much the Republicans may be alarmed,
the fright on their part is still greater. They
are pitching into Licking about all the available
force at their command in the way of speakers.
and are not forgetting this county in that re-
spect. In addition to the eff Jrts of numerous
lesser lights, appointments are made in Licking
for H. b. Payne, DIR. Olds, Geo E. Pugh, G.
L. V~allandigham, and S. S. Cox-and in this
for Ii. b. Payne, J. FL. Geiger, and 9th
ers. If importing foreign speakers indicates

are badly scared-and, indeed, well they
may be, for if the signs of the times are to be
relied upon the 18th of October next will in
troduce them to a most disastrous defeat.

HOMICIDE AT OwENsBoRo.-We learn from
the Evansville journal, that a homicide was
committed at Owensboro, Daviess county, Ken
lucky, on Monday last. a young man by the
name of Taylor, a saddler by trade, in a fit of
intoxication, on Sunday, insulted and struck or
kicked a young lady by the name of Hughes,
who was pa sing him on the sidewalk, as she
returned from Church. He was arrested, and
on Monday was tried before a magistrate, who
fined him $40. The son of Mrs. Hughes, not
satisfied with the punishment the law had in,
Aicted, went to Taylor's shop after the trial,
and calling him out shot him through the neck
giving him a mortal wound. Though living
when our informant left, there was no hope of
his recovering. Hughes was arrested bat
managed to make his escape from the officer.
He was at Newburg on Monday night, and
the officers in search of him arrived there a few
hours before he left,

STILL IMPROVING.

We see our neighbor is improving in sharp
ness as the election day draws near. His dis
covery that in saying the Democratic nominees
were men Of q responsibility and worth " but
declaring oar belief that they would be beaten
by better men, We * insinuated " that men ofre-
spectai,iIits and worth should not be elected
to oaiee in this county, indicated extraordinary
smartness. But the discovery announced in
his last, and made the subject Of two very in
dignant articles. that we are " holding
clantlestine meetings" indicates a rapid adj
vance in zstuaeess. The Standard charges
that we - imported stumpcrs II, this county, and
then, instead of publishing a list of the meet
ings accom- panied with the speakers in your
paper, as We do, yoa print bills and send them
out secretly, aud as secretly send out your
speakers by night &c. Now this is all silly
twaddle, though perhaps mot kaOlcn to be such

issue of the 10th we announced on the strength
of a telegraphic despatch received just before

greater part of the ensuing week in the county
that the times and places of holding The subse-
quent meetings would be announced as soon
us Mr.. D. arrived and could be conult-
ed. As all the meetings were held previous
to the issue of our next number, it would have
been a difficult task to have = published a list
of them in the paper-and that being the case,
We know Of no more elective, natural or ordina-
ry mode of making known the times and places
of holding them than that resorted to-the issue
of hand-bills. That they were printed and
sent out secretly, and that the meetings re-
ferred to were only held during the might"
are slight errors on the part of our ~neighbor,
a little remarkable, too, as he is usually so very
correct in his statements in reference to mat
tiers of the kind. We do not say he k'leU ;"
better, though we think he might have known
better had he so desirrd-reither do we charge
him in so stating with "lying about u.s." for
we do not believe he would knowingly do so,
and besides the use of such language is nei-
Their becoming in respectable men or decent
newspapers.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1859-09-30

We would advise our amiabIe and courteous
friend of the Standard to " hold his horses "
and not permit his ardor to swamp his judg-
ment. We beg to assure him he is entirely
mistaken in his assertion that we " knetU" the
facts in regard to the getting up of the Berlin
meeting te be as he states them. All We
knew on the subject was what the communica-
ton stated. accompanied by the assurance Of
q respectable and prominent citizen of that
n~eighborhood that the affair was as represent
ed. We do not wish to misrepresent our
n~eighbor, and shall certainly endeaTor to alb
stain from " lying about y him.

More Concerning Judge Ranney and
the Fugitive Slave Law.
THE PROOF THAT he DENOUNCED 1T AS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN 1880:
READ! READ READ !

Il Ia Il . -
Since Judge Ranney's eEsphatic denial, at
Cleveland and elsewhere, in his discussions
with Mr.. DelHlison, thai he ever denounced the
Fugitive Slave Act as unconstitutional, or
even characterized it as unjust, or advocated
its repeal, VIC have taken some pains to look a
little further into the record upon the subject,
to discover. if possible, whether his sentiments
at that time had been misrepresented. For
this purpose we have hunted up the files of the
Mahoning Index, a Democratic paper publish
ell by john r. Church, Esq, in Garfield, at
the tine the Indignation meeting" was held,
at which Mr.. Ranncy was present and spoke
In the issue of that paper bearing date Novem-
Der 1, 1850, in addition to the official report
of the meeting heretofore published from the
Ohio Republican, we find the following edito-
rial article, reviewing the proceedings, and Civ
ing a brief report OF the various speeches made
upon the occasion. Mr.. Church, who is still a
resident of Confcld, and one of the most es-
teemed citizens, win testify to the correctness
Of the report then made by him of Judge Ran
neyis remarks. Besides, Mr.. Ranney was at
tending Court in Garfield at the time, and I'M
doubleday saw the article, but did not attempt
TO say that he had been misrepresented. Fur
thermore, the editor would not have dared to
misrepresent him, when there was such "a cloud
of witnesses - to the facts. We give the arti-

REMEMRER.

That every vote cast for a member of the
Legislature this fall is in effect a vote cast for
U. S. Senator-and that no Republican can
vote for a Democratic candidate for Senator or
Representative without virtually voting for
Geo. E. Pugh or some other equally obnoxious
pro-slavery Democrat to represent him in the
Senate for the succeeding six years. For a
Republican so to vote, under existing cir
c~umstances, would be an act scarcely paral-
lelled by the case of Esau, who sold his
birth-right for a mess of pottage,"-it would
be bartering principle and jeopardizing the
best interests of the country for a much less
price than a mess Of pottage.

scatolSing around "a church steeple which he
was painting. He fell to the roof-a distance
of ninety feet-and from thence bounded off
and struck a ladder, from which he broke four
stout rungs, and landed at last in a heap of
sand in the church yard, without materially in
iuring himself. A fow months after this event
he got caught in the machinery of a mill, and

HAMILTON

The united opposition in this county held
their nominating Convention on Thursday of
last week, selected a strong ticket, and have
gone to work with a determination to elect it
by a rousing majority. The county sends three
Senators and eight Representatives to the Leg
~islature, a number that goes far toward deter
mining the political complexion of that body.
Two years g the Democracy triumphed, but
last fall they were badly beaten, and our friends
there consider the prospect at this time even
more favorable for a Republican triumph than
it was at the same period last year.

The late Ohio State Fair, though equal il
not superior as an exhibition to any that had
preceded it, was a failure financially, owing
chiefly to the unfavorable weather. The re-
ceipts were some $4,000 below the expendi-

of the citizens of GAINESVILLE reduced the deficit
TO about $1,000.
