A SMALL. rox SCEsE.-Last night q young

he belongs, visited q police precinct 'tothsr
eide Of Rock Greek, and got upon a big spree,
during winch he kicheu up Il muSS IN Eestaus
rait and was arrested an taken to the station

you before, am an en- stneer; hntalways make
it a rule to follow that occupation which PAYS
the best, and the small pox is now prevalent,
and as the business Of a smallpox nurse Is q
paying one, i have adopted and have just closed
an engagement, having nursed three young
men through il, for which received my pay,
and am now looking round for another job.
,, May be, Squire, you can tell me where to find

BY this time the policemen and the crowd In
the office began to ira vel, and the Justice roared
out Leave this ROOM" which advice he at
once needed.
From subsequent developments it turned out
that the nursing story was pure fiction, IN
vented by the young scamp TO save himself q
nights incarceration in the guard-house.

DUTCH MARY In CoURT.-On Tuesday, when
Mary Heissler, alias "Dutch Mary went into
the Criminal Court to submit her case enlarged
with keeping bawdy- house), she took her
seat near the prisoners dock, and with rather
destinations generosity gave to each Of the aIf
dozen prisoners there five dollar greanback
1t appears that she was under the impression
that her fine would be but $500, whereas the
court piled it on to the tune Of $500, and when
il vas announced that she would have to nav
the larger sum, she coolly said she could stand
II, but that her counsel must wait a day or two
for his pay. She is probably able, ere this, to
square up all around.

The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1864-08-04

ence between the agents of Mr.. Lincoln
and those of the Confederate States at
Niagara, there was reasonable prospect
that terms of intercourse between the
beligerent parties upon the very
basis which Mr.. Lincoln laid down in his
inaugural as a law to themselves and to
him, of those who nominated and elected
him. Does not, then, the fearful respon-
s,bility for rejecting overturcs for peace,
upon the very conditions upon which the
perfection and endurance of our political
fabric depend, rest solely with Mr.. Lincoln
and his advisers? 1t is not only time that
the fearful sacrifice of blood and treasure
should cease, but that the men who bar
the door to Cancellation upon the very
terms laid down by the party in power as
necessary to the preservation of our free
institutions, should be held to rigid re-
sponsibility! We believe that there has
never been day from the beginning of
the war, but reconciliation and reconstruc-
ton could have been accomplished, If the
partisans in power would have permitted
it, upon the basis of the resolution of the
Chicago platform quoted by Mr. Lincoln,
if faithfully and honestly carried out
State Sentinel.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1864-08-04

On the 4th of March, 1861, Mr.. Lin
coin in his inaugurl address, said:
81 have no purpose, directly or indi-
rectly, to interfere with the institution Of
slavery in the States where it exists. l
believe have no lawful right to DO 80, and
l have no intention to do so. Those who
nominated ne, and elected me, did SO with
the full knowledge that had made this
and many similar declarations, and have
never rccantcd them. And more than
this. they placed in the platform for my
acceptance, as law to themselves and nc,
the clear and emphatic resolution which
now read:
Resolved, That the maintainance invio-
late OF the rights of the States, and espec-
tally the right of each State to order and
control its own domestic institutions ac-
cording to its own judgment, exclusively,
is essential to the balance ofpowcr on which
the pcrft, ctiOn and endurance Of our pOlit-
ical fabric depend; and We denouncc the
lawless invasion by an armed force of the
soil of any State or territory, no matter
under what pretext, as among the gravest
Of crimes"
In the same address Mr.. Lincoln also
remarks: Suppose you go to war, you
cannot fight always, and when, after much
fuss on both sides and no gain on either,
you cease fighting, the old identical ques-
tions as to terms of intercourse are again
upon you"
In the elegant language Of the. President
"after much fuss on both Sides" twice
have the rebels attempted to negotiate
Stephens, whose ability and purity OF
character cannot be questioned was sent
on such IL lssion, but he was not permit
ted to discuss terms of intercourse \ few
days ago another effort was made of "A sim
liar character. We know not what prop
tositions the rebel negotiators had to submi
but certainly no harm could arise from
knowing what they were. 1t appears that
Mr.. Lincoln was willing TO receive Messrs.
Clay and IIolcomb as the accredited agents
Of an independent power, but he prescrib-
ed conditions in advance which he knew
