Eli Thascr Telling Tales.

In speech delivered before his con-
stitue"ts, and published in the Worces-
ter AE:yis and Transcript. Eli Thayer,
Of Mass, tells some tales about our Ohio
Republican politicians, which are rich.
Speaking Of Popular Sovereignty. he
SAID:
81 never heard one argument, or
any thing that looked like an argument,
against this. 1t is sid that nobody
agrees with it. l say that majority Of
the Republican members of Congress
have told me it was good policy, and
that they we're ready to 60 for it. : :
+ l was told by the editor Of the Ohio
State Journal, published at Columbus,
that the Republicans would lack more
than twenty thousand votes OF carrying
the State Of Ohio, II they soent into the
campaign ON any other policy than that
of non intervention. | tell
you that lion. Salmon p. Chase spent
three doys trying to bring np the dele
CATION from Ohio to cote for this poll
cy, and he told me itsuited him perfect
W soeU. : tell you that Hon.
Benjamin Wade, Of Ohio, said he would
make q speech in favor Of these land
bills, if they shonld come to the Senate"
Such is the statement Of Mr.. Thayer.
No man viii doubt the truth of it.
Cooke ofthe Journal Chase and Wade,
al confess to him that they are in favor
Of Popular Sovereignty. And yet, be-
cause the Chicago Conventi.n repud-
ated it, these men are such dnhon0et
politicians and political prostitutes As to

approve and sanction IS just aud pro-

The Fusion Negotiations.

From all the information We can gath
er in respect to the animus OF the high
contr citing parties, to wit, the two sub
committees who took part in the recent
negotiations, we conclude that each
comm ttee was intent on coming it over
the other-neither beng sincerely in
favor OF its own propositions. Hence it
is puopabIe that Mr.. Wood did not a..
sumo to accept the Breckenridge propo-
sition until be had assured himself that
it would be rejected. as it sods rejected,
BY the committee making it. Aud we
know that Mr. Green went home post
haste, waited till the nominal accept
ance of his own proposition had been
returned to the Douglas sub committee.
and Of course repudiated by his own
Commit ee, and till he had positively
assured himself that the Regular State
Committee would not concur in the &C.
ton Of it's sub Committee and that he
then, and not till then wroie note sig
Lifying his concurrence BY this time,
of course, the whole negotiation was At
an end the propositions and counter
propositions no longer possessed the
least vitality and there was nothing
upon which either Committee could act,
nothing to accept or reject. The
sub Committees hal overreaohed them
selves as we'll as their respective adver-
saries, and the whole thing seems to
have fallen through. That Is the way
the affair appears to Us and Ne believe
that is fair version of THE precious bit
of Observation-Disclosures UnsOn.

Startling disclosures.

LAwRRNcEvILLE, Aug. p.
Our usual quiet town has been the
scene Of domestic drama, wherein it
is alleged has stalked the triple crime Of
incest, murder and adultery. The fami.
" to which this startling charge pertains
is one ofthe oldest and most h gully res
pec;ed in Lawrence county. The head
Of the family is we'll known to most Of
the public men in the State, having
been connected with the Legislature,
and also filled responsible position in
the House of Representatives. Rumors
of these thi g have been afoat too
weeks or so. When first it was whi.-
pered it was too shocking to be believed,
but SO positive were the charges aud SO
general did the rumor become, that q
committee of citizens were appointed
to investigate the matter and ascertain
the truth. The charges were, that there
bad been an incestuous connection be-
tween son and daughter OF the fam
iiy-that a child was born, living and
well-that to avoid disclosure the child
was disposed Of by vi. lent mean., and
that the mother O: those letcherous
children bad been guilty ofadul.ery with
physicisn resident of the family. The
author Of these charges WAS q woman
who lived 10 the fanny. Her test'mo-
ny was taken by the Committee. But
she did not command full credence,
and corroborating proof was necessary.
Size indicated the place where the child
vas buried. 1t was sought for there,
and not found at fsst, aud doubts were
entertained of the truth of the tale. A
further search, however, resulted in the
exhnming Of the body Of newly born
infant, with unmistakable marks of
death by violence. The Coroner was
summoned, and an inquest held, and .
verdict rendered in accordance with
the partial facts discovered. Il was the
