The hearty AYE with which the Conven-
tion passed the Resolution eulogistic Of Mr.
Wade's course in Congress, told of the hold
which Mr. Wade has upon the confidence
and affections of the people of this District,
and it is a confidence won by % years of un-
ALTERING devotion to the great principles Of
freedom and justice which underlie the Re
publican movement Mr.. Wade was one OF
the first in Northern Ohio to espouse the An
ti-SlaveIy cause, and upon that altar he sac
ri6ced all the hopes and ambitions of open
ing manhood; social position, and the
promise of professional success, personal
friendships, all these he gave up in an attach
ment to despised and hated cause, because
be believed that cause to be RIGHT; and for
% years Mr., Wade has maintained his early
integrity and labored on until he has seen
that hated cause grow into the popular move
ment of the times. At the close of the pres
ent Congress Mr.. Wade viii retire from the
seat he has filed with so much fidelity for
eight years, but we may hope will not retire
from the public service, for the country has
certainly, in all the departments of its gov
ernment great need Of such trusty men

Supposed PoIsoujur

We learn that family by the. name oi
Bowman, living in Oxford, are afflicted in q
manner which renders it probable that they
have been poisoned. 7 -
The family consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Bow
man and i've children. After supper one day
last week, the mother aud children were TAX
en- i'll, al with similar symptoms, such as
vomiting, heat and pain in. the stomach and
great prostration. Since that time three of
the children have died and the mother is not
expected to live.
Suspicious of poisoning were entertained
after the children were buried and the body
Of one was disinterred and the stomach has
been sent to Cleveland, for analysis by Prof
Cassels. The result of this examination isnot
yet known. We cannot learn that suspicion
e fastened upon any one being guilty OF the
deed. Z L.i u III Wstt

AT Augusta, Maine, the stumping candi-
date for the Presidency was completely
s,umped by an inquisitive Yankee. cor
respondent of the Tribune under date of Al
gusta, 18th inst, thus gives the circumstan-
oes and the questions. That paper says the
statement is from one of the most estimHble
citizens of Augusta and sets forth facts with
in the personal cognizance of the writer
They are as follows: t- j
As Judge Douglas, when be was here on
Thursday last declared with strong empha-
sis that, as a National candidate for the Presi-
dency, he had no opinions 10 conceal none but
he was lcitliRg 10 GVol0 IN any part Of the Union
a very respectable citizen of this place who
was invited TO a seat on the stand with him,
put into his hands the following QUESTION,
which he was most respectfully requested to
answer in the course of his remarks. The
Judge on receiving it (it was before he rose 70
speak read II very attentively, and, resuming
his conversation with the gentleman who Of
lered it. respectfully acquiesced in the propri-
ETY. Of the question, and promised TO reply to
il in the course Of his speech;
VIII Judge Douglas be so kind as 70 oblige
fellow citizen by stating before thepeople here
assembled his Answer 70 the following
.-r QUEsr1oS
" Do you hold and If elected President Of the
United States, would you carry out, the doctrine
that the people Of Territory, before Il becomes a
STATE have the power, under the Federal Consti-
tuition, and Notwithstanding the Dred Scott de-
eision, 70 Prokibu or erolude Sldrery hererOHlY

With this question before him, which he
promised to answer, the Judge arose and adj
dressed the people for an hour and a half
but for some cause or other-you can judge
what as well as Tho not only did NOT an
swer the QUEsTIoN butvery carefully avoided
all GlIusiOR tou! I merely give you the fact
with no comment of my own, preferring that
you will bestow such reflections upon it as
candor and fidelity to truth require. But it
seems to me the public should know What
questions Judge Douglas refuses to answer,
and conjecture as best they may, the reason
l0ky he chooses to "coneeel his opinions" on
that most interesting point.

Cay good story was told us day or two ago
by gentleman Of this city. In the course of his
business he went North to make certain purchases,
and took with him letters from two Of our Cashiers
Presenting these to n house in certain CITY, he
made purchases on the usual time aud when his
note fell duo he paid it. Some months afterwards
he wished to make another purchase from the same
house, and sent them an order To his surprise
they answered him that he must furnish additional
recommendations before they could forward the
goods. Upon this our friend wrote to them that
they reminded him of Dives brothers Of whom
Abraham said they had Moses and the Prophets
aud il they would not believe them, neither would
they believe though one to rise from the dead
that he had already furnished them the recommen-
dations of two Cashiers, and promptly paid hi:
former bills aud il they were not satisfied with all
that he could done more to win their confidence
Here he supposed all communication with the house
would cease, but in due time he received another
letter from them saying that his reference to MosEs
and the PRoruErs was satisfactory and the good;
had been shipped And sure enough in the usual
time they came to hand.

with an accident last Sunday night, which proved
to be very serious one indeed, and which it is Won
derful did not result fatally. She was on her way
to church. and was attacked by COW which in
ficted a terrible wound upon her with her horn
The wound, we are told, looked as if made by q
knife, and was six or eight inches long, and nearly
an inch deep. Mrs. b. strange to say, walked
back home, a distance Of some one hundred yards
and did not know that she was seriously hurt I'M
til she got 10 the house. physician called
in, and the wound dressed, and she has since been
doing well, we are glad to learn.

BGS- The accidental killing Of young Dickin-
son. last week, by the discharge of gun in the
hands of Palmer, ought to serve as an additional
warning against careless use of firearms.
Palmer, it appears, had been told by some one
present that the gun was not loaded, and he was
trying the experiment of extinguishing candle by
simply bursting cap on the gun. He had bursted
one, and the gun did not go off; but on exploding
the second it did 60 of, and the load of shot en-
tered Dickinson's head, who was sitting in chair
just before the muzzle killing him so Instantly that
il is said, he did not fall from the chair.
Palmer, at last accounts, was said to be almost
fIantic with grief at the sad event.
The young man killed was not the Cole Dick
inson who lived here several years ago. but was a
cousin of his son Of ]. G. Dickinson, Of Todd CO.
Kentucky.

No. a valuable negro maa, belonging TO Wiley
Taylor of Todd county Ky, was shot at the State
Line, on the NJ. G., 4 L. r. R, last Sunday night,
by man named Gus. Carneal. The circumstances,
as we have learned them, as follows;
Carneal had a grocery at the Line, short distance
above TAFT Station, which he said had been bro
ken into once or twice, and he says that he had a
gun in his hands, showing the negro how he inten-
ded to serve any person who might again attempt
1t, and that the gun was fired accidentally, and
shot the negro. The negros statement is, that Mr.
Carnea shot him as he WINS approaching the gro.
Gerry supposing, he reckons7 that he was coming 10
rob his house. The shot took effect in the negro
neck, infictiug wound, from which it was thought
he could not possibly recover.

do it without fair extra compensation, no offer o
which was made him.

rec. Our Banks, we believe, have not 80 far done
anything Of consequence, since their suspension,
towards relieving the monetary pressure. 1t was
generally understood, at the time they suspended
that they did 90 in order that they might safely
extend their line Of discounts, and thus give the
people some relief from the pressure resulting from
the scarcity Of money; and believing this almost
every ono approved their course. As we have said
though, up to this time very little, If anything, has
been done by the Banks, towards this end. We
have heard IL suggested that the Banks have hoped
for and expected extra session of the Legislature
and desired Equalization Of their suspension, by
that body, before expanding their circulation, ms
they were disposed TO do, because IL before the
meeting Of The extra session. they should put out
n large circulation, and the legislature should meet
and instead Of lcgazing their suspension, should
require them to resume, they would be left in q
condition of great embarrassment.
Well NIL this might happen, and we cannot blame
the Banks for being prhdent, and taking care of
themselves. The Legislature is TO meet in extra
session on tho 7.h of next MONTH and among other
matters Of interest that will come before 1t will be
this of the suspension of our Banks.
That the Legislature will legazc the suspension,
there can hardly be doubt; and when that sha Il
have been done, and the suspension authorised for
a certain length of time-say twelve or eighteen
months-as we suppose will be the case then the
Banks may, with safety to themselves, enlarge their
circulation, by dscounting Notes and Bills, TO nm
extent that will afford very great, if not entire, re-
lief to the peoDle now 80 oppressed Supposc n
suspension of eighteen months be thus authorised,
by the legislature, and an additional circulation Of
say 5000, oOO-be put out by the Bank in the
Sate--what great relief would not that afford =
And 100000 is moderate estimate, even for
the three old Banks, and their Branches, alone
Divided among them, it would be less than $780,
600 to each; and that, added to their present re-
dueed circulation, would not swell tito more than
It's average amount, in ordinary times. We can
hardly suppose that tho Banks will do much before
the Legislature meets yet it is to be hoped that in
view of the Unprecedented hard times, and the ur-
gent necessities of the people, and further in view
of the almost certain legalization of their suspcn.
zion, they will do enough to avert7the ruin that
may come even in tho next thirty, or forty days, il
no relief at all is afforded by them. 1t is their du
~, we think 10 supply such sums, loans rs
may be urgently needed, and, wherever they car
safely do IT, to renew paper, falling due without
k;ns any call This latter policy, alone, viii give
great relief and we see it pursued, rs a rule il
New Orleans, and other large cities. We have con
sdence that they will do the best they can, under
all the circumstances.

for an extra session Of tie Legislature, 70 meet on
the 9TH day Of january. We are glad to see this
done. II is what We think ought to have been done
in every Southern State as the result Of the
election was sscertained. This way OF one or two
States setting up an Independent Southern Nation,
on their ewn hook, without the advice, counsel or
corporation of others only calculated to bring
Southern pretensions into ridicule but concert Of
action, by all the Southern States, had in proper
manner and temper, is bound to challenge the re-
