The Miami County Democratic
Jubilee. HH
Troy, Nov, l3.

Troy, Nov, l3.
Editor Empire On Thursday afternoon
the 9Th inst, the Democracy Of our County
met to celebrate our recent success in our own
State, and neighboring ones, but more espe.
cialy the triumph gained in our Congressiona
District, in the election Of Hon. J. f. McKin.
ney to Congress, over West Of Belfontaine,
the Republican candidate. Our district had
heretofore been doubtful and in the late ap-
portionment, means we're taken to make il
certainly Republican, With an immense ma
jority to contend with, Mr.. Mckinney went
boldly to work in the canvass, and with 30
much success did he show the people the true
and only principles upon which our govern
ment is formed, that he has won the triump oh
OF glorious victory.
The Democracy gathered from all quarters
and the evening found Mayo's Hall crowded
to excess by those who came to hear address
es from MIR. Mckinney and Hon S s Cox who
had previously been announced to speak.
Mr.. Mex. continued an able and pratriotic
address until Mr.. Cox was ushered into the
Hall amid the deafenipg cheers of the au-
dience. Mr.. c. spoke at length upon the prin-
emenating from the Constitution as they do,
were well worthy Of the attention of the peo.
pie, il they were vigilant as to their liberties
Never have we seen so much enthusiasm ex +.
hibited as atthis rejoicing. Old men clasped
one another by the hand with tears in their
eyes and hoped that brighter sun would
shine upon our distressed country Mr. Cox
has won much popularity among the Democ
raey Of this region
! After the speaking the people repaired TO
the Morris House, where the worthy host, Mr..
Haganbuch, formerly of Dayton, had pre-
pared an elegant supper. Itwas fully appre-
eiated by all, as might have been told by the
satisfied faces that came from the dining
room
The young folks entered into the pleasure
ofthe evening by exercising the Terpsiehorean
art with much zest The eastern sky became
streaked with the light of approaching day
before they had dispersed. Old and Young
were glad to say that they had rarely passed
so pleasant an evening. May we see the Like
again. DEMOCRAT. Z

Hon. q. 4. valIanalghann.

The Abolitiouists Of the country can gather
one crumb Of comfort from the recent elec.
tions, in the defeat OF the Hon o. n Vallan-
digham in Ohio The last leeielatute Gerry
Wandered his district, adding thereto strong
Republican county which gave snsjority
sufficient to overcome the Democratic ma
jority in the remainder Of the district and
thus defeated him But he was handsomely
endorsed by his present constituents and re-
ceived in his old district largely increased
majority The Dayton co. Empire, the lead.
ing Democratic paper OF Mr.. YallsudghAm's
district says;
"Mr VallRudigham has not been beaten 10
the old District on the contrary, he triumph
antly carries il by FIVE or six times as large a
majority as ever before. And better still, he
is endorsed in his own county, which he never
carried before, by a majority Of near four
dred. How do you like this triumphant en-
dorsement of Mr.. VallaDdigham by his con-
stituents in the face of the lying efforts and
denuncation of the whole abolition press of
the country"
While the real Union men Of the country
regret that Mr. Vallandigham has been de-
featea, they rejoice that the great State of
Ohio, as well as his old district, has so cor
daily endorsed him as a true exponent Of
Democratic principles. With that endorse
mept he will be a terror to the Abolitionsts
during the remainder Of the present Con.
gress Would not the Democrats of Ohio do
well to send him to the U. s, Senate in place
of the disunionist Wade2-jSentineI and Wit
ness, Coma.

The Surrender OF HEarper's
Ferry.

The full report of the military investi-
cation into the surrender of Harper's Fer
ny has been Published. The commission
pass judgment, as it were. upon all the
military parties concerned. They acquit
General WHITE, Colonels D'UTAssY and
TRIMBLE Of all blame for the surrender,
and praise the capacity and courage of the
former. They find that Colonel FoRD was
given, by Colonel Miles, discretionary
power to abandon Maryland Heights, but
that the exercise Of this discretion was
premature; that he conducted the defence
with no ability, and that his exhibition Of
lack of capacity was such as to disqualify
him for command
Incapacity is attributed to Colonel
MILES, especially in neglecting to fortiS
and hold Maryland Heights, and General
Wool is held to responsibility for his
being in command. AS early as the 10Th
August, Colonel MILES disobeys the order
OF General Wool to tortify Maryland
Heights. After the evacuation of Mary
land Heights, Colonel MILES sent word to
General MoCLELLAN, then at Frederick
City, that unless reinforced he could not
hold out forty-eight hours. General Nc
CLELLAN thereupon despatched messen-
ger to General FRANKLIN, who was en-
gagged with the enemy at Crampton's Gap,
wholly unable to give the needed assist
ance. The General-in- Chief testifies that
General MCCLELLAN, after receiving or
ders to drive the enemy from Maryland,
marched on an average of only six miles
a day in pursuit, and that in his opinion
he both could and should have relieved
and protected Harper's Ferry, and in this
opinion the Commission fully concur

strange, that ont Of the number Of boys who
were engaged Ia ringing The doorbell of Mr.
Bollmeyer that he should happsa to catch
Browns boy and whip him. while he othert
went uahVrt, and this sitter be shooting Of the
dog Brown was told that Bollmeyei liad said
he would shoot the boy for shooting his dog
true Bollmeyer denied making the statement
but We suppose Brown as well as many others
placed as much confidence in the statement
as IN the denial The witnesses who gave 10
their testimony ut the inquest, all state that
Brown made no demonstration toward physica
injury until Bollmeyer set down his basket
with the intention Of attacking him We say
| Il is no wonder there ls Z revolution in public
sentiment in regard 70 the Atari when the
circumstances which cansed il are made known
We think there are but few who Justify Brown
in committing Ihii deed, but instead Of the
community looking upon il as the horrible
affair which it was at tirst represented TO he,
they now. think it not much worse than similar
tragedies which have occurred No doubt
Rrown is deserving Of punishment, IL so let
him receive it TO the extent Of his crime.
After indulging in a few lines of low
dirty abuse of Mr.. VALLASDIoHAM, he con-
cludes by saying that eff there is ever an
other attempt made to take BRowN from
the jail there will be two sides of the
question"
In regard to the circumstances leading
to the assassination, this fellow has delib-
erately and wilfully lied, for purpose,-
lied, with the testimony of the Coroner's
inquest before him, and which, of itself,
proves him a liar. BRowN's boy did not
shoot BoLLMEYER's dog neither did any
one else, for the dog has not been shot at all.
BoLLMEYER did not schip BRowx's boy or
any one else's boy. He did not say that
he would shoot the boy for shooting his
dog" because the dog was not shot This
disposes of the charges about the shooting
of dog by BRowN's son, having any
thing to do with the matter.
The assertion that the witnesses at the
inquest "all state that BRcwN made no
demonstration towards physical injury
.
until BoLLMEYER set doown his basket
with the intention Of attacking him." is
equally false with the story about shooting
the dog.
But we have already devoted more space
to this fellow than we had intended. Our
object in referring to him at all, WAS prin-
cipally to let the people know that such
black-hearted villain resides in this Dis
trict. He not only manifests satanic
feeling of delight at the assassination of
political opponent, but even resorts to
falsehood and Misrepresentation to justify
the act and screen the assassin. The man
who wrote the article which we copy above
has the heart and feeling of murderer,
and only lacks courage to become one in
fact. Let him be treated with the scorn
and contempt which he deserves.

The PrIVaIser Alabama.

The City ef Baltis.Ors. ia, arrived from
Europe, brings intelligence of the destruc-
ton Of another vessel by the rebel priva-
teer, alabama. 1t seems that all efforts
thus far to capture or destroy this irOn-elad
monster, so destructive to our commerce,
have been unavailing. II the reports of
other iron-clad vessels, now ready and
being fitted out by the 0onfederates, prove
correct, we may expect still further trouble
in that direction.

Thurlow Weed acknowledges that the 'in-

and Phillips and Greeley school "aided in
preeipitating the rebellion" He says em.
phahcally in the Albany Journal:
The chief architetcls of rebellion before it
broke out were aided in their Internal designs
by the ultra abolitionists of the North. With.
out such aid the South could neeer have been
united against the Union"
True, every word Of il, and the Southern
dlsunionists are fully alive to their Obligations,
Ex-GoY. Adams, of South Carolina, in his
speech on the secession of that State SAID:
"The Abolitionists are our best friends

to confer, they we're entitled to our warmest

ARBITRARY ARRESTS.


Colbert Dean, member-eIect Of Assembly.
then spoke and said that at the next meeting
of the Assembly he intended 10 offer resoln-
ton affirming the right Of New York city to
have its own police, and to abolish the present
SYSTEM and another one to take control Of
our city affairs from the country and give it
TO the city. He meant that the doctrine of
State sovereignty should be stated, and also
to see that New York shall suffer no one to
usurp authority over its laws He was going
to call for committee, with power to send
for men and papers, to investigate the illegal
and arbitrary arrests, The laws of New
York provided that any judge who refused to
issue writ of habeas corpus was liable TO
impeachment and be fined one thousand dol
lars, and be punished for misdemeanor.-
When Rev. Mr.. Benedict was arrested at Buffa.
To- his counsel applied to two judges for
writ OF habeas corpus, and they refused
He proposed in view of this to offer a resolu-
ton that these two judges be impeaehed.n

The community will learn with shame
and Indignation that there lives in this

sympathy for the murderer of Mr.. BOIL

so degraded in character, so utterly base,

we were mistaken. A small, dingy-look-
