George E. Pugh N 1860.

The attorney of Mr.. Vallandigham, a
candidate upon the ticket with, for the
second Office in the State, who accepts
the position of that person towards the
Government of the United States, by his
utilization with him. said in the Senate of
the United States, December 20, 1885,
page 20, Appendix to the Congressional
Globe of the Both Congress.
lin Great Britain, questions of Constitu-
tionai law are only questions of principle,
because Parliament is said to be onlnipo-
tent, and a law may be unconstitutional
without being void. But in our country
of written Constitutions and limited leg
~islative powers, we are so accustomed to
compare text with text, merely, that ace
argue tie most solemn issues rather as lacyers
than as politicians. The Senator from Tex
as, Mr.. Wigfall, appealed to me, for in
stance, to Vindicate the constitutional
right of South Carolina t o secede without
being attacked, Well, sir, when South
Carolina secedes, as | doubt not she will,
What further interest has she, By the terms Of
her olcn argument, IN tie Constitution And
if she should thus become, as she claims,
a wholly independent sovereignty, I mast
decide all questions of 0ar and peace uCithOut
any consideration Of her Deyare-because she
by her own act, excludes herself from my
consideration-and solely with regard to
the welfare of the States that remain
1t is all a political and not a legal ques-
ton. No Constitution ever included the
means of its own destruction ; and nine
tenths of the human family avoid max
ing wills and testaments because they alb
hor the contemplation of death. Wheth-
er a State can or cannot secede, and what
others may do toward her or she toward
them, these are questions behind the COnstitu-
ton Of the United States, and if I may say Il
'0ithOut irreVere,,cs, far above II. They are
questions of constitutions | science, and
not of constitutional construction ques-
tons upon which empires are often dis
membered and dynasties overthrown.

Morgan's Last Joke.

from Salineville with three hundred fol
lowers. he followed u road that, near
West Point. ~traversed two sides of a right
angle. On this road h" picked mp n Cup

hood, and who went with Morgan either
as a prisone; or a guide. it is unknown
which. but unaccompGnied Icy any FEEDER
al snliiers.
Near West Point. Moran suddenly
came on Major Rue. with "a party of
Kentucky Cavalry, who had come 10y 81
cross road and thus headed of the rebels.
As soon rs Morgan saw him he sent q flag
of truce To Major RIe. demanding the
surrender of that officer and his com
mand. The Major failed To see the point
of the little Joke. and despatched flag OF
truce demanding his surrender, a demand
that was rendered more weighty 10y the
sudden approach Of another Federal
force in MorgIn's rear. Thus situated
the great raider found his position 70 be
no joke, 50 he gravely informed Major
Rue that he had previously surrendered
to Captain Burbick, ON condition that
they should be taken To Cincinnati and
paroled. The joke of one man surroun-
ding and capturing Morgan and his four
hundred men, was of so stupeudous ana
ture that for a moment Major Rue was
completely overwhelmed by it. Recover
ing himself he sternly informed Morgan
that unless he and his command surren-
dered Immediately and unconditionaliv.
the Union force should at once fire into
them. This brought Morgan to liz
enses and the surrender was made
Soon after General Shackelford rode up
and Morgan and his staff departed under
his charge.-Disyotch.

LET Us HAVE RETALIATION EARLY in
July Morgan's men attacked a small de-
tachment of the Ninth Kentucky CJval-
ry, in Cumberland co., KY. They dashed
on the little troop, and our men suTren-
dered. Their captors then demanded
their pocket books and their guns, and
afterwards deliberately shot them with
their own weapons. Some of the noun
ted rebels leaned from their horses, placed
their carbines to the very hearts of our
poor fellows, and thus butchering them.
If Gen. Burnside wishes to take the mat
ter up, Capt. Jas. Wilson, of the Twelfth
Kentucky Cavalry, will furnish him all
the evidence.-CiHciEHati Gazette.

HALF FARE
The Convention of the 9Th inst.

SSA
We are positive that we hazard nothing
when we assure our readers that there
will be seen at this place on next Satur
day, the Sth instant, the largest number
of people that nave met together here
since the famous Convention of 1870
We need not speak of Governor Tod, fol
his reputation as an orator has been foryears
a part of the local history of this neigh
borhood, and now he has endeared him
self to every loyal citizen of Ohio by his
frank, outspoken loyalty, and his prompt
earnest and effective measures TO defend
the State from invasion, and by his wise
administration of the State government
The nominee of the Union Party,
Hon. John Brough, a thorough Demo
crat in :he Jackson and Jeffersonion
meaning of the word, is as true to his
country as any living man, and has won
a reputation as a popular orator second to
no man in Ohio.
The stirring times in which we live,
the peculiar circumstance under which
the coming political canvas will be made,
and the fact that there is at this moment
opposed to us an organized party in the
free and loyal State of Ohio, whose open
and avowed purpose it is TO embarrass the
government, whose scarcely concealed
purpose Is to break the Union into frag-
ments, whose standard bearer is a con
victed, exiled traitor, is it surprising that
an indignant, outraged people should be
aroused and excited?
That there will be a rousing meeting of
earnest, loyal men, and intelligent ladies,
we nave no doubt.

valIandlgham q Pilot for Morgan.

VallandIgham u Pilot for Morgan.
1t is believed by officials here that Val,
landigham furnished Morgan information
and plans for his late raid. The route
was carefully chosen through the sections
where the Vallandighamites were known
to be strongest. but inasmuch as Morgan
appropriated the horses of his Copper.
head friends as well as those Of Union
residents, he failed to produce that up
rising or to receive the sympathy which
had been promised and expected Wash
Telegraph.
1t is vouched for by every one a~cquain-
ted with the facts, that the rallying cry of
Morgan's horse thieves, when they enter
ed Ohio, was, "lIurrah for Vallandigham."
This was their salutation through more
than one half their journey, and ceased
not until the ~rascals became satisfied that
the rising" they anticipated in Ohio was
a lie of Vallandigham, and his treason
STEPPED Copperhead friends.
In this respect the Morgan raid was
fortunate for us. And the failure TO
check the r~ascals, until they had secured
the breadth of the State, was also fortu-
nate, for thus Morgan could see, for him
self, that the heart of Ohio Democrats
excepting a small band of copperheads-
is not in sympathy with treason. The
rebels can see by this raid that Vallan-
digham is not a safe leader, and that Ohio
Democracy is one thing as it appears in
State Conventions and resolves, but anoth-
er thing when the question of overt trea-
son is put to the individual members of
that party.
On the whole, the Morgan raid was a
good investment for our side.

A villainous attempt at ~garroting was
made the other night on Lisbon street.
As Mr.. Leonard Schilling, of the firm OF
j. Il l.. Schilling, was entering his gate,
at about l03 o'clock, he felt something
very mysterious coiling about his neck,
and supposing the weight chain to have
broken loose, turned around suddenly to
catch the gate, when the m~urderous
scoundrel, who was seated by the post,
supposing he was discovered, jumped up
and ran away. The object, of course, was
robbery, as the fellow supposed Mr.. Schil-

him.-Salm Republican.

since for the sum of $4,000 the largest
amount ever paid for property of this
kind. The purchase was made by the
parties owning the Farrell well, the great

of the former from GOO to 100 bbls. per
