The Dirty Dog, Bean-and @. q. Gree

OF6bne,
That miserable bushwhacker and dirty dog
Bean, starts story in the Smut Machine that
Charles G. Greene, the Union candidate for
County Treasurer, subscribed $50 to the Sol
dier's Bounty Fund, and then refused to pay it.
and that he still refuses to pay it. although be-
ing solicited frequently to do SO. The story is
entirely false in point of fact, as Bean well
knows.
Mr.. Greene did subscribe $40 to special
Bounty Fund, under the following circumstan-
ces: When the Tooth Regiment was being rails
ed, Jackson township was divided off into Dis
tricts and the district in which Mr. Greene re-
sided was required to furnish IL men to fill its
quota in said Regiment. To facilitate the rails
ing of these 10 men, Mr.. Greene, and others,
subscribed sufficient amount of money to pay
an extra bounty of $50 to all who would volun-
teer to go into the Tooth Regiment. But not
man volunteered, for the reason that the men
of that part of the township would not go in
Beans Company, for which they were wanted.
No volunteers being raised for the Regiment,
mot cent of the subscription of any of the SUBJ
scribers has to this day been paid, to the knowl-
edge Of Mr.. Greene. While Mr.. Greene has
claimed that this money cannot be used for any
other purpose than for which it was subscribed,
without the sanction of those who subscribed
it. yet he has never refused to pay it, neither has
he ever been asked for it.
These are the facts in the case as we learn
them, and the public can judge from them whe-
ther any thing wrong can attach to Mr.. Greene
in the matter. Martin Wright, the Democratic
candidate for County Treasurer, lives in Jack
son township, and it is TO him, undoubtedly,
that Mr.. Greene owes the utter perversion Of
the truth in the case. Whether Mr.. Wright viii
secure any increase of votes by this course is
doubtful.

Another Green.

In an article published in our paper last week
from the Cincinnati Gazette, Governor Tod in a
speech at Marietta, gave short sketch of one
Judge John L. Green, acopperhead orator. For
fear some of our readers may have been misled,
we will say it was not Judge John L. Greene, Of
sandusky county, but Judge John L. Green, OF
franklin county. Our Judge Greene is an un-
conditional Union man, the other Green is a
Vallandighamer--a eopperhead.

were in attendance at the Democratic Mass Nee

long This was pretty good turn out con-
sdering that Sandusky county only has 2l,OOO

it was quite distance between wagons. This

yaIor of BIaclk Troop..

Another proof is added to that which was
proved before, viz: the valor and bravery of col
ored troops General Blunt, commanding the
Western Department, in his official report Of the
battle of Honey Springs, says that the Kansas
colored regiment fought like old soldiers. Their
coolness and bravery could not be surpassed.
They preserved their line like veterans and
completely routed the superior force of Texans
opposed to them-one regiment of whom they
reduced from 300 to 60. Millikens Bend, Port
Hudson, Charleston and Honey Springs should
be the watchwords of every new colored reg-
ment, as heroic examples for them to emulate.

More Men,

The authorities at Washington have authori-
zed Governor Tod to recruit as many men in
Ohio as he can within reasonable length of
time. This has probably been done so as to
give the people OF the State an opportunity to
relieve themselves from the draft. There is
now an excellent chance for those who desire to
enlist to do so without delay. Each recruit
who has been in the service will receive a
bounty of $4O2, while raw recruit will get
one of 1902. Both are liberal, and are sufficient
inducement in themselves for volunteers to
come forward at once and enroll their names in
the grand army of the Union.-O. s. Jour.

admirers chew that cud.-Sme Machine.
How Bean can lie In his Chicago speech, on
the LIST of May, 1861, the last ever made by him,
Mr.. Douglas said:
"The Slavery question is a mere excuse. The
election of Lincoln is a mere .pretext. The
present secession movement is the result of an
enormous conspiracy, formed more than year
since-formed by leaders in the Southern Con-
federacy more than twelve months ago." rt2
Again:
"There never has been time from the day
that Washington was inaugurated first Presi-
dent of the United States, when the rights of the
Southern States stood frmer under the laws of
the land than they do now; there never was
time when they had not as good cause for dis
union as they have to day. What good cause
have they now that has not existed under every
Administrator"

widows and orphans are worth nothing. How
foolish, then, with our all depending upon the

Bean ana Pugh!

Bean says Pugh was awfully insulted in Free
mont an evening or two after their grand 6zzle.
Pugh stopped here on his way to Canada Ia
visit the traitor and demagogue Vallandigham
Some Copperheads and co-traitors with Val.
and Pugh, procured the Band to escort him to
the cars. The playing of the Band attracted
quite crowd to see what was the matter, pro-
baby not a dozen people here knowing that
Pugh was in town. Pugh made little speech,
a sOft-soapy affair, thanking his hearers for the
homer they were showing him, de-, after which
one of his friends called out for three cheers for
him. This was feebly responded TO by some
dozen persons. Then some one called for three
cheers for Brough-and three of the loudest,
heartiest traitor-terrify shouts were sent up
from the crowd, ever heard in Fremont. Then
the traitors waxed wrathy, and Pugh dumfoun-
ded. He felt as much astonished at what hap
pened as the "nigger" stealer Groom did at the
Democratic mass meeting. He said he suppos-
ed he had come TO a Democratic meeting, but
he found that a majority of the people had on
Brough badges. So with Pugh. He supposed
the crowd were Democrats come to escort him to
the Depot but those "nsulting shouts for
Brough" told different tale. No wonder that
Bean raves, aud fumes, and lies, and tares his
hair, and "refuses to be comforted." This con-
stituted the great insult to Pugh. The asser-
ton of Bean that the Omnibus was stoned is an
Infamous falsehood Of the dirty dog Bean.

Tho Iaabeas Corpna.


The Dayton Empire, in commenting upon the
suppression of the writ Of hsbeas corpus in GER
tain cases. says:
"Yet A. Lincoln, the usurper, recently n
third-rate lawyer from Springfield, Illinois has.
by proclamation, disposed Of and set aside this
great bulwark of civil liberty in America ,Oitk
40 statute 70 sanction he EsTpatiON, and with no
respectable plea TO cover up the perjury"
Mr.. LincOln's Proclamation in effect brands
this charge as lie, unequivocal and inexcusa-
bic. 1t distinctly cites the act of Congress Of
March Sd, 1868, whereby Congress empowered
the President to suspend the privilege of ha-
beas corpus whenever in his judgment the pub
lie safety may require. No more explicit or
complete authority could be imagined. But it
touches the Vallandigham plOtters against their
Government in sore spot, and they writhe like
wounded snakes.
