Mnrshnl Johnson ana Deputy Dayton.

The National Democrat copies from the Lead
er as follows .t.
Marshal Johnson visited Oberlin and con-
suited with a number of the leading citizens -
With smooth and honied words he sought 10
allay the Indignation of the people. The con-
duct of Dayton was disapproved, and assurances
were given that further troubIe need not be ap-
pretended. He expressed a strong repugnanee
to the execution of the law, and left favora.
BILE impression in the minds Of the citizens
present."
And then says
"This is far from being correct account OF
the interview which the Marshal had with some
of the Obsrlin people; he assured them that be
would not send his Deputy, Mr.. D., another
warrant; should he get one, ne would serve it
himself"
To make this "a correct account" the Dem
ocrat should add that at the interview alluded
to the Marshal took especial pains to have it
understood that ,a4J.nu'gIVe such notice of his
coming, and the object of his visit, as would
enable fugitive to escape, intimating that such
result would be most gratifying to his feel
ings.
The Marshal also took occasion to say, then
and there, that Deputy Dayton was distasteful
to him, and that he had exhibited improper
readiness to engage in taking fugitves by go
ing to Painesville, as he had other deputies
whose duty it would be to serve warrants in
Painesville.
The Democrat publishes tue following epistle
in full
U. 8 MARsHAL's OFFICE,
CLEVELAND, Oct 4, 1858.
A. P. DAYTON, ESQ.
ST:-Your favor of the lst, is received and
contents noted You must not resign. / am
not disposed to be driven by the vioators Of the
laws and Constitution Of the United States, to
discharge deputy for doing his duty, nor do
l wish such deputy to resign. You need fear
no violence. 1t is all bravado--an effort to
scare you into resignation.
Yours, NJ JOHNSON,
II

And adds

1t will be seen that that letter was written
alter the Marshal had visited Oberlin, and we
believe the public will honor the position taken
in this case.
But the Democrat fails to state that another
letter was written to Deputy Dayton, before
the interview alluded to, which is not pub
ished-and further, that Marshal johnson
aPolOgissd for that letter to the men at Ober-
lin, saying that he wrote it in such a manner
that while it seemed to require Dayton to
serve the warrant in behalf Of Mr. Mcmillan,
was not so intended by him
Such has been the duplicity and double deal
ing of U. s. Marshal johnson with the citi-
zens of oberlin touching his Deputy Dayton
and the execution of the Fugitive Slave Act.

The BANEFUL EFFECTS OF ToBAcco.-The
terrible ravages which tobacco is making on
the bodies and minds of the young, seems TO
be attracting the attention of medical men
in various parts of the world. In y PAM
phlet just issued by DR.. Seymour, of London,
on private lunatic asylums, and the causes
OF insanity of late years, the Doctor de-
nounces with emphasis, rs one of the pro-
ducing causes, the immoderate smoking in
dulged in by boys and young men at the
universities and "larger schools, now called
colleges" The remarks Of the Doctor are
as applicable to the youths Of this country
rs those OF Europe. No one conyersant
with disease can doubt that excessive smok-
ing, especially In the case of young people,
must be highly injurious to both mind and
body. lis effect is 10 depress the cireula-
ton; the heart becomes weak, irregular in
us action, and the pulse is scarcely to he
ielt The victim becomes irresolute and
nervous; his appetite fails. and his mind
fills with imaginary evils. This may con-
time for years, but at length the smoker
dies off suddenly; then examination has
shown that the muscular structure Of the
heart is imperfect in lis action the leftside is
thin, and in some cases, in which sadden
death has occurred, there has been found
little more than strip Of muscular fibre left
on that side

uas- Mr. h T Sterliog of ClcyeIand the

pE- Mr.. f. T Sterling, of Cleveland, the
agent Of large engine manufacturing COM
pany IL that city, and q gentleman of high
respectability and OF excellent character
aside from an unfortunate disposition TO
"spree' occasionally, which the Herald
says was induced by the use of liquors rs a
medicine, prescribed by the doctors for some
stomach complaint. He was found dead on
the pavement, but how he came there is a
mystery which, in the clearing up, may de-
velop horrible murder. A Mr.. Sherman
testifes that he and the deceased were
drinking and playing cards till very late
hour on Saturday night in the third story
Of building in which the witness roomed |;
that the deceased was unusually drunk, and
in starting home fell down stairs. The wit +.
ness heard the noise of the fall, and going
down few minutes afterwards, found the
deceased on the pavement senssless and
bloody. Waking another man near by, the
two carried him mp stairs 10 Sherman's 3
room, where he died in a short time. This
is one story. The other is told by Charles
Dorsay, an employee Of Goodale & Co.. who
was watching the store that night.
He says Inc saw Sterling with several 9TH
tlS Oii etiVtt isttC S~tN oit
with a cane hanging about Dir. S. with great
friendliness of manner; heard Stelling tell
the man he 's did Mt know him, and ssdidn't
want anything TO do with him." saw them
GO away; went into the store and came ont
in twenty minutes and saw Sterling lying
on the pavement A lady living near by
testified that she heard a noise, like the
tumbling Of n box on the floor, about the
tirle of the occurrence, which walked her
up; heard scream as of some one in pain,
and then heard feet retreating up the street.
The doctors all testify that the wound could
not have been inflicted by fall, though one
admits that a very heavy fall might have
| done it. That these statements and Mr..
Sherman's do not hang together is pretty ey-
dent, but which are true must be decided by
time. One Of the features of the case that
attracts special attention is the development
of gambling going on aTong men who
would never have been suspected, and the
papers lament the existence of so much vice
in such respectable quarters.
