SPEAKING TO THE "PoINT. T."-Garrett
Davis was reported in the Senate last
week as follows:
Mr.. Davis rose to respond to the ques-
tion of fishing bounties, and spoke at
great length on the negro subject" 1t
was very hot night, and the honorable
Senator, in order to cool off, actually
spoke over two hours. When he con-
cluded his diversified remarks, he said
he had only intended to say ia few
words.

A CURIOUS CrRcUMsTANcE.-Las week
Monday afternoon a derrick at the mar
BILE works in South Dorset, was struck
by lightning, which ran down the guys
of the same, and thence into the ground.
The curious part of the circumstance
consists in the fact that two men, at
work at the windlass of the derrick,
were unable for short space Of time to
let go Of the iron handles, so completely
were they charged with electricity
What is more curious still neither of the
men were at all injured. We do not re-
member ever having heard Of similar
instance.--Be Bennington Banner.

NEW TESTIMONIALS.
From the Homo Journal, June 4th. ]

tFrom the Home Journal, June 4th.l
In every business or profession, indeed in every
department of science or skill, there is always some
acknowledged h,ad-some one who stands out in
bold relief among his fellows, as a sort Of leader.
In tho study and treatment of deafness and caarrh
as special diseases, DIR. L. b. LIaHTHILL, Of THIS
city, occupies just the position above described;
He has devoted years of labor to this speciality and
is now reaping the reward of his industry. Tho
editorial columns Of the Tribune Of recent date,
bear witness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
lad fourteen years Of age, born in Germany, came
TO this city when he was about two years old. Soon
after his arrival here he was taken sick and lost his
hearing. BY degrees he became first deaf and then
dumb. For nearly ten years he was mute. unable
to hear the loudest voice, or to artculate word
the hands Of DIR. LIGHTHILL, who has SO far sue
ceeded in restoring to him his lost powers Of hear
ing and utterance that he can converse with those
who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. Dur
ing the past four or five months he has been under
the tuition Of Mr.. BENNECKE, and has made consid-
cradle progress in reading and arithmetic"
Having been supplied with the lads address, We
further Investigated the matter, and discovered
that, previous TO calling on DIR. LIGHTHILL, the
youths was considered hopeless, and he was for
two years an inmate Of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum. The Rev., JOHN NoTT, D., Professor in
tenders his gratitude to Dr. L1GHrHILL for treating
successfully bis case Of Deafness Rev. FRED. s..
JEWELL, Professor of the State Normal School at
Albany, also teses to having been cured of catarh.
DIR. LIGHTHILL possesses other testimonials and
tributes to his talent from some of our wealthest
may be seen on application: 1t would be difficult
to speak in any but terms Of praise Of his treatment
in the face of these many proofs and facts testify
ing to his success.

LoynI Clergyman in n Fix.

1t is reported that the Rev. Robert Breck-
inridge, of Danville, Kentucky, was caught
in nice fix recently. The story goes that
he had invited General Burbridge and staff
to dine with him last Sunday week. Early
in the day his hopeful son Robert, Jr- who
is an officer in the rebel service, and his SON
in-law, Major Steele. also of the rebel ar
my, paid the old gentleman visit, and
were at the house when General Burbridge
and staff were announced. Here was fix
for loyal clergyman to be in. The two
rebel officers Kept themselves very close
while the Federal officers were enjoying
the fathers hospitality. The old Doctor
accompanied his guests on their return to
Lexington. After he had left, the two sons
came from under cover, and ordered the
servants to cook them dinner, after par
taking of which they left. A query arises ::

the law of Kentucky, and especially under
Burbridge's order ?-Cfncinndti Enquirer.

Gov. DennisOn's Fairness TO POiiti'
cal Opponents.

Ex-Governor DENNIs0N, now POSTMASTER
General, arrived at his home in this city
last Saturday night, and was serenaded by
small party OF his friends. Judging from
the speech he made upon the occasion, re-
ported in The State Journal Of yesterday,
Gov. DENYIsoN's elevation to the Cabinet
has not had the effect of making him more
lust, dignified or careful in his statements
than he was when merely stump speaker
in Ohio. The same gentleman who once
asserted on the State House steps that If
certain candidate was elected Governor by
the people of Ohio, it would be the duty
and the right of the President OF the United
States to remove that Governor and appoint
one of LINcoLN's friends to the place thus
made vacant, has learned nothing good and
forgotten nothing bad by his brief sojourn
in the National Capital, as the following
remarkable statement in hisspeech testifies;
"The Governor reminded his audience
that at the very outbreak of the rebellion,
Mr.. yallandigham, then member of Con-
gress frcm Ohio, introduced a proposition
into that body, contemplating Dreaklng
up of the Government established under
the Federal Constitution, and the framing
in its stead four (or five) separate and dis
tinct petty 'confederacies.'
Every politician in Ohio, every citizen
liberal and intelligent enough to read the
proposition introduced by Mr.. VALLANDIG-
HAN upon his own responsibility, as his in
dividual theory, without claiming for it any
authority from or connection with the Dem
ocratic party, knows that this statement by
Governor DENNIsoN is a gross misrepresen-
tation, unworthy of the vilest demagogue,
disgraceful to a man of his position. Mr..
vALLANDIGHAM's proposition was to divide
the Union into several sections for the pur-
pose of electing Presidential electors for the
whole Union, something after the manner
in which States are divided into Congress
sional districts for the convenience of rep
resentation in the National Congress. Does
Governor DENNIsoN object to the system of
dividing States into Congressional or Sena-
torial districts? DENNIsoN's denunciation
of proposition SO plain into an attempt to
break up the Government shows that he
either never read the proposition about
which he speaks so glibly, or that he delib-
erately attempted to impose upon the igno-
rance of his audience. Either dilemma
would become the man who, after having
been Governor himself, declared that the
President of the United States had right
to remove and appoint Governor for the
people of Ohio at his pleasure.

Another Outrage upon the Soldiers
by litionists---Etefusnl TO Allow
Democratic Tickets In Camps.

The War Department issued an order, a
few weeks ago, to the effect that one agent
from each political party would be granted
passes to enter the military camps through
out the country for the purpose of supply
ing the soldiers with such tickets as they
desired to vote at elections. In pursuance
of this order, the Democratic State Central
Committee of Ohio made application to the
War Department for two passes for Demo-
cratic agents to enter Camp Chase and Tod
Barracks, to supply those with Democratic
tickets who desired them. This application
was made through the Hon. CHARLES MA
SON, of Washington City, and the following
is his reply to the Chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 1864.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 1st instant was
received this morning. l sent a special
messenger to the War Department, who
presented your papers to the proper officer
there, who, after examination and consulta-
tion, informed him that the request could
not be granted, and refused to give any rea-
sons for the refusal.
Yours truly,
CHAs. MASON.
JOHN G. THOMPSON, Esq.
Thus, it will be seen the War Department
refuses to abide by its own order and most
solemn pledges to citizens and soldiers; and
thus it is made apparent that the fairness
which it promised was never intended to be
allowed The order was mere blind-a
gross deception. Abolition agents will un-
doubtedly be allowed free access to these
camps, and Abolition tickets will be as
thick as leaves in Vallambrosia vale; but the
soldiers are practically prohibited from ex-
ercising any choice in the candidates for
whom they vote. Soldiers are men; they
have the same feelings of manhood, the
same attributes of treemen, the same sense
of duty, the same sacred rights as freemen,
all of which are grossly abused and out
ragged by this arbitrary refusal to allow
them to vote-a refusal the more disgrace
full and criminal in that it comes from those
who make the loudest-and most hypocrit-
ical-pretension to especial friendship for
the soldiers. Every soldier who has prop
er sehse of his own manhood, or any re-
spect for the manhood of his comrades from
whom he differs in regard to Presidential
candidates, should repudiate this official in
suit to the soldiers by voting against the
party in whose interest it is perpetrated.
