5f(istellaneous,
The Kentucky What
has been Decided

has been Decided!
OF all the farces ever enacted the late
election in Kentucky takes the lead. 1t
is a notorious truth. not denied, that
nearly all the votes given were given at
the point of the bayonet and unless free
men, or at least men who thought they
were free, voted as the military authori-
ties dictated, they were not allowed to
vote. And yet, this is gloated over by
the Administration Abolitionists as a
Union victory And now, what has
been determined by this farce of an elec-
ton in Kentucky? The Louisville Jour-
nal, the organ Of the par eacelience Union
ticket, headed by Judge Bramlette, says:
"In the late canvass there was not SOL
itary paper in the State { Kentucky but
earnestly opposed the Administration"
Will some OF our Abolition Admins
tration friends tell us how the Kentucky
election is Union victory according to
their standard, viz: that all who do not
support the Administration are "rebels, I"
"copperheads." "butlernuts." etc?
Again, the Louisville Journal said a
few days before the election, that "the
platform of the Union Democracy of
Kentucky (meaning the Bramlette ticket }
is The platform of The Northern Democra.
cy, as represented by Gov. Seymour
Every member of the Union State ticket
stands squarely upon this platform, and
within the sphere of his lawful power
will execute this platform to the letter."
This is very plain language "Every
paper in the State earnestly opposed the
Administration, and every candidate on
the ticket stood squarely upon this plat
FORM" The ticket is elected at the point
of the bayonet, and the Administration
Abolitionists glory over it as great Un-
ion victory
Judge Bramlette, the Governor elect
said in speech made before the election
"We are all agreed in opposition to the
suspension of the writ of haJeas corpus
the conscription bill, the emancipation
proclaim alton, the confscation bill, ant
the arming of negro regiments. We de
sire to get rid of them."
Now. we appeal to the honest, candle
voters of Ohio, to read and reflect upol
it as it stands. According to Genera
Burnside's construction of his Order No
3S, he should arrest Bramlette, and tn,
whole people of Kentucky. and send then
across the lines into the rebel States
Has Mr.. Vallandigham, has any Demo
crat ever done more than is here stated
as the position of the Union ticket jus
elected in Kentucky? And yet. the Alb
olitionists denounce Governor Seymour
Mr.. Vallandigham, and the whole Nor
thern Democracy as "rebels," Cooper
heads" "Butternuts." Is it possibl
that the people of Ohio can be gulled in
to the support of Brough and the Aboli
tion party BY such transparent hypoc
risy ?-,Statesman.

Not for Peace Ou Amy Terms.

The Abolitionists charge Vallandigham
with being in favor of peace on any terms.
He has always expressly denied the
charge. In his great speech, delivered in
New York, on March I, 1868, he said.
81 am not for peace on any terms; l
would not be with any country on the
globe. Honor is the life of the nation
and it is never to be sacrificed. have as
high and proud a sense of honor as any
man in the South. and love my country
too we'll, and cherish its honor to pro-
foundly, for single moment to consent
to a dishonorable peace" A voice

country; every State; and |. unlike some
of my own party. and unlike thousands
of the Abolition party, believe still, be-

and will be. That is my faith and mean

A Strong Indictment.

While the Constitution of the United
States was ordained and established in
order to establish more perfect Union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran
guilty, provide for the common defence,
and secure the blessings of liberty, and
contains ample provisions for the protec-
ton of the life, liberty, and property of
every citizen, the dearest constitutional
rights of the people of the United States
have been fraudulently and violently
taken from them-their territory has been
invaded by an armed force-spurious and
pretended legislative, judicial ard execu-
tive officers have been set over them, by
whose usurped authority, sustained by
the military power of the government,
tyrauical and unconstitutional laws have
been enacted and enforced-the rights OF
the people to keep and bear arms has
been infringed--test oaths of an extraor-
dinary and entangling nature have been
imposed, as condition OF exercising the
right of suffrage and holding office-the
right of an accused person to speedy
and public trial by an impartial Jury has
been denied-the right of the people to
be secure in their houses, papers. and
effects against unreasonable searches and
seizures, has been violated--they have
been deprived of life, liberty, and prop
erty without due process of law--that
the freedom of speech and of the press has
been abridged-the right to choose their
representatives has been made of no effect
murders, robberies, and arsons have
been instigated and encouraged, and the
offenders have been allowed to go unpun-
ished-that all these things have been
done with the knowledge, sanction and
procurement of the present administra-
ton, and that for this high crime against
the Constitution, the Union, and humani-
ty, we arraign the Administration the
President, his advisers, agents, support
ers, apologists and accessories, either be-.
fore or after the facts, before the country
and before the world, and that it is our
fixed purpose to bring the perpetrators
of these atrocious outrages and their ac-
complies to sure and condign punish
ment hereafter.

MIR. BrOugh and MIR. Pugh On the
Crittenden Co OmDrOmiSc.

Mr.. John Brough, in his speeches
throughout the State, has had the effron-
terry to state that the South rejected the
Crittenden Compromise. Mr.. George E.
Pugh, in his speech at Washington. O.,
on the 25th ult., thus alludes to it. He
says:
was once a strong friend of the doc
trine of popular sovereignty. Mr.. Doug
las leading off in that principle, was sus
tanned by the whole Democratic party
He proposed, for the sake Of the Union
to give up that favorite idea, and th'
whole Democratic party abandoned it fol

GEN. TRttie Nominated for Gov.
ernOr of Iowa.

The brave and gallant hero, General
Tuttle, has been nominated for Governor
of Iowa, by the Democracy of that State,
in place OF Mr.. Fisher, who declined the
nomination of the State Convention. 1t
is hoped that the General will accept the
nominstion, for that will insure the cleo
tion of the entire Democratic State ticket
by majority of thousands
A "speciaP' to tho Chicago Times,
under date of Des Moines, Iowa, August
Sth, says:
AT meeting of the Dem ocratic State
Central Committee, at Burlington, on
the 9th, Gen. Tuttle was unanimously
placed at the head of the State ticket as
candidate for Governor. Many OF the
leading Democrats of the State were in
attendance on the sitting of the commit
tee, and urged this course as preferable
to calling another convention, it having
become perfectly apparent that General
Tuttle was the unmistakable choice of
the Democracy for their nominee, as the
election will demonstrate that he is of the
people for Governor.
Judge Cassidy, who attended the meet
ing as committeeman from this district,
informs me that the utmost unanimity
and good feeling prevailed. Our State
canvass is at last fairly inaugurated, and
we may now expect to see the Abolition
journals which have been bedaubing Cen
eral Tuttle, the hero of Donelson, with
their praise. abusing and denouncing him
as a copperhead.

An Economical Style of Shirt.

The style of shirt limited at in the SUBJ
Joined extract, seems so near OF kin to the
South Carolina uniform, composed of a
shirt, collar and pair of spurs, that we
think its invention isjustly attributable to
the people of that State, whose ingenuity
and patriotism are very much alike. We
suppose the lack of 'shrt-tail spoken
of, is folly made up or by an ample dis
play of broad d" collar - although it can
not be possible that they have substituted
one for the other. Who was it said,

RUsolred, That we hail with delight some
manifestations of a desire on the part of the
people of some of the seeding states to return

be the duty Of the administration cordially to
cooperate with the people of such states for
their restoration to the Union with all the guar

Resolued, That while we would not withdraw
our armies from the field, or in any manner re-
cognize the so-called Confederate States, yet if
such manifestations should become general
throughout the seeded States, we believe that
the offices of peace should supersede those of
war. and that it would in such event be the
duty of the administration to encourage the
holding of Constitutional Convention of all
the States to restore peace, maintain the Union
and support the Constitution.

Editorial Correspondence of the Pioneer.
bayfield,, July 20, 1868.
For the entertainment of the anglers of
St. Paul, I propose to tell fish story
which l know to be true one, because 1
was on the ground when the fish were
caught, and saw them brought in and
weighed. The sportsman was DR.. CLARK,
of 4S Maiden Lane, New York City, who,
with an angling companion, has been
spending a couple of months in trouting
at Bayfield,. The Doctor went out to a
point above the Chippewa Agency, and,
in a couple of hours had basketed string
of speckled trout, which weighed as fol-
lows: One, A lbs; one, 81 lbs; three,
8 lbs. each; two, q lbs. each; four, 2
lbs. each three, II lbs. each; two, Il
lbs each one, II lbs; four, II lbs. each {;
three, Of l lb. each; twenty-four brook
trout, weighing 464 lbs. Seven others,
little wigglers, weighed 81 lbs; making
the two hours sport foot up thirty-one
trout, weighing SOL lbs.
1t was the finest collection of trout I
ever saw, and as it is probably one of the
heaviest, for the number, ever caught, 1
consider an account of it worth the print
ing. There can be no mistake about the
variety of the fish, for know trout Gin

also for the quality, for, accompanying
