THE removal of Colonel Bowman from
the Superintendency of West Point, because
he invited General Mcclellan to deliver the
address upon the laying of corner stone
for monument to West Point soldiers fair
ly illustrates the spirit and capacity of the
man who could indulge in such an exhibit
ton of spitefulness. His little soul was
stung by the recognition of the skill and
services of Mcclellan, and he had not enough
of dignity and decency to conceal his NOR
tification. No one supposed he would have,
position. Prostitutes have sufficient respect
for propriety to assume modest behavior
when chance throws them into virtuous
circles. If it was imagined that ''smutty
JOKER would shrink from insulting the ma
tion by prostitution of its highest office
to crafty personal malevolence SO ineffably
contemplate, the mistake is now rectiied.

The Wife Off Lake Captain ElOpes
with n Clown.
From The Detroit Advertiser.

On Sunday night last quite little excite
ment was created at the Railroad Hotel in
this city, by the appearance there of one
Capt. Jennings, of the schooner Idaho
backed by posse of officers, in search Of
his truant wife, and Mr.. James Reynolds
who is advertised as the Peoples Clown
of Brien & Kings Circus. The officers had
little difficulty in finding Mr.. Reynolds
room, and Mr.. Jennings there found his
wife occupying the same room. The scene
that there presented itself was of an inde-
scribable nature. Jennings requested per-
mission to take the mans life, but the Off
GERS were fortunately there in sufficient
force to prevent any tragedy being enacted,
although it was nearly II o'clock. Rey-
nolds was handcuffed, and, together with
Mrs. Jennings, taken to Jail, where they
were kept till Monday morning. AS Rey-
nolds' absence from the circus performance
on that afternoon would be serious detri-
ment to the ''butioonery" of the concern, bail
was procured for his appearance at the Po-
lice Court on Tuesday morning in the sum
of $4,000. The same amount was required
for the appearance of Mrs. Jennings, failing
in giving which she was obliged to remain
in 'durance VILE"
On Tuesday morning they appeared for
examination, but the case was adjourned
till Wednesday morning. In the meantime,
Mr.. John Hull appeared upon the stage and
was accepted as security for the frail wifc
and she was released. In the afternoon OF
Tuesday, however, it was ascertained that
Reynolds and Mrs. Jennings had pacl.ed up
their worldly goods and left for parts un-
known, leaving the circus minus valuable
performer.
Mrs. Jennings is apparently an accom-
plished young woman, and has been mar
ried about four years to Capt. Jennings, and
has resided, until attracted by the seductive
wiles of Reynolds, at Norwalk, Ohio. She
has friends living at Wayne, in this State,
with whom she has left a small child. She
first became acquainted with Reynolds dur
ing performance of the circus at Toledo.
and at another time co-habited with him at
Sandusky. When she found that the circus
was coming to this city, she wrote to Rey-
nolds that she would precede him, and put
up at the ''Russell Hotel" where she would
register herself as Mrs. Jas. REYNOLDS"
but it does not appear that she carried out
the latter part of the programme.
We do not wish to screen Reynolds, who
is married man, from the effect of the po-
sition he occupies, but it is proper to state
that the woman, while acknowledging her
guilt, eXonerates him from all blame in the
matter. She states with an effrontery that
would put to blush the most degenerate of
her sex, that she became enamored of him.
and resolved if possible to share his future
career. With this conclusion upon her
mind, she gave her child to her mother, and
left with her param0ur.

A WELL-PREsERvEDN NATIvE.-The Daily
Union, published at Virginia, Nevada Ter
ritory, says the remains of an Indian were
lately found in the immense salt field near
Sand Springs, and about eighty miles from
that city, completely imbedded in rock salt,
four feet below the surface. The body was
in complete state of preservation, and,
from appearance, had lain in the same posi-
tion for many years, or perhaps for ages.
The flesh was perfectly dry like that of a
mummy, and it was evident that it had
been perfectly saturated with brine, which
prevented its decay. The Indian was about
the usual size, and resembled the Piutes
that now inhabit the same locality. Part of
bear-skin and rude bow were found
near by, and at distance of few yards
pair of elk-horns of enormous size were
disinterred. The supposition is that this
entire salt-bed was once lake, and that the
animal that had been wounded had taken
refuge in the water, whittier he was follow
ed by the Indian, who sank in the mud at
the bottom, and was unable to extricate
himself and thus perished.

Escape Of "a Convicted Bank De-
f;iuIter.
From the Detroit Advertiser. Julv4l

From the Detroit Advertiser, July Al
On Friday evening the people of Adrian
were intensely excited over the escape OF
w. w. Treadwell, the defaulter, cashier OF
the Peoples Bank of Hudson. TreadwelI
had had his trial, and was sentenced to
State Prison on the day of his escape. After
trial and sentence he was remanded to Jail,
and just before dark the discovery was
made that the bird had flown. A man
answering his description was seen short
time before fleeing to the woods. At this
discovery the greatest excitement prevail
ed, and it was charged that some one in the
Jail, who had access to Treadwell, had fur
nished him with duplicate keys. He is,
probably, before this safe in Canada. His
creditors would have done better to have
accepted the offer of compromise of $780,
600 to discharge the 100000 indebtedness.
He now escapes the law and retains the
money.

COIOred Substitutes.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer saws

The CIeVeIand PEdIn Dealer says:
Some time ago we published letter from
Gov. Brough to gentleman of this city,
who interrOgated him as to the reception OF
colored substitutes for white drafted men,
to which he gave negative reply-that
they could not be taken. We have heard
nothing further in reference to the matter,
although the gentleman in question ad-
dressed the Washington authorities on the
subject, and expected an answer. The Erie
(Pa.) Dispatch contains the following item
bearing on this subject:
"Provost Marshal Campbell informs us,
under date of July 4th, that by late orders
received from headquarters, he will be al
lowed to accept colored men as substitutes
for white persons drafted into the United
States service, or for those enrolled and liza
BILE to the draft"

WHEELING. Va, is a quaint and venerable
place. The InteIligencer, of that city, gives
the foIG%%hg %h gs6d sketch H. youchng forts accI
ing: "We saw yesterday, going up to-
wards the upper ferry team of four ami
mals-a horse, a pony, mule and bull.
The horse had the heaves, the pony was
blind, the mule was lame, and the bull had
no provision for fly time. In the wagon,
which was an ordinary one, sat a white
man, a crippled niger, and tame skunk.
The skunk was firmly bound with wisp
of straw. The white man held the lines,
the team held its own, and the niger held
the skunk"

NUMBER 9.

ANOTHER MAN KILLED. - Yesterday
morning the remains of soldier were dis
covered on the Columbus & Xenia railroad,
switch. Justice Hume and several other of
our citizens being notified of the fact, went
out and found the remains horribly mutt
lated and scattered for some distance along
the road. On examination of his pockets
they were found to contain SO bill on
Washington bank, some shinplasters and
pocket comb on which was cut the name Of
j. A. Homan. The remains were deposited
in coffin and inferred in pasture near
where they were found.-London Democrat,

gagements will be fought for tbs future. In
this instance the pace was all the quicker
because the guns had start of the ships, the
guns being the new artillery, the ships
wooden, excepting the chains of the Kear-
sage, if they constitute an exception. The
next duel in the British Channel will proba-
bly, be between two vessels of the Warrior
class, and he must be bold man who can
be sure that it will last as long as Sunday
morning service, or be less decisive than the
last Sundays.

THE MORAL.
Severalyear ago the Democratic party swal-
lowed ngger (fggeratively speaking, as Arte-
mus Ward would say) 1t fell to pieces at
Charleston, failed to unite at Baltimore after .
desperate effort And ever since it has grown
''small by degrees and beautifully less.' But
in the meantime it has instigated and set on
foot more wicked, heaven-daring, hell-peserv-
ing rebellion than ever disgraced the page of
history. And now after abe rebellion has beeh
in progress nearly four years, and is not yet en-
tirely suppressed, notwithstanding blood and
treasure have been pouted out like water, while :
multiplied thousands of the best men of the ma
ton are exiles from their homes, subject to all
the hrrdships and diseases incident to camp
life, suffering with disease, hunger, fatigue, and
wounds received on the battle field while fgt-
ing to preserve not only the honor of their
country, but the very life of the nation, sleep
ing on the cold Earth without apillow on
which to rest their aching heads, while discon-
solate widows andpoor anxious mothers are sutf-
ering in exprcssible anguish and hungry rag
ged children are turned ont on the cold chari-
ties of selfish strangers bereit of their last earth
ly friend, there are men in our midst who still
adhereto to this full party. But we opine that
the loyal voters of that great free north cannot
be induced to follow in the wake Of Vallandg-
ham d Co. in restoring to power patty so cor
rupt 50 deeply Implicated in the rebellion, as
the party now claiming to be the Democratic
to oblivion though its crimes were infinitely
less than nothing when Compared to the $50

restore to power a party that they know would
betray the country to the rebels, and extend e
the bIighting curse of slavery all over this fair
land, or acquiesce in the dissolution of THE glo-
rious Union We think it cannot be so. But
in the few days intervening between this and
the approaching presidential election it behooyes
every man and woman to lie on the alert. Do
not leave all the work to few, but let all who
love their Country and their kind work The
issues Of former elections dwiadle into insig
niications when compared to the ptcsent.-Cin.1'

Closing Appeal.

The day Of election is near

ships are thoroughly organ
lied, and a completolist OF the
Union voters in the hands OF
se7eraI act We men at the
polls. See that every Union
man is on hand, and puts in
his vote. Beware Of illegal
and fraudulent votes. Let
no man vote who is not le-
gally entitled to do so. Look
olt for dcserters and skulkcrs
fr m the draft, who will try
to vote in other counties than
Their own. Let these men be
marked, and let the punish
mont of desertion, as well as
that Of fraudulent voting, fol-
low them
One thing more: Let eve
ry business man close his
house on the day ofelection,
and repair early to the polls
Let the merchant, the me
chanic, the professional man
land the laboring man, a
give the day to the cause 0
the country and the Union
The times demand the servi
ces of every man. A secret
and traitorous foe is in on
midst and actively at work
We must defeat him. On'
days work, men Of the Uniol
party, one days faithful and
earnest work, and all is well
Work for yourselves anc
schildren against men whC
would sell your country to re
bells and traitors.

States ever bury their reccollectioh of the
effort that was made by the Democratic
party to debar them from the privilege Of
voting. Neither are they bind to the
fact that the prominent actors in the
Chicago Convention combined in the
effort to dsfranchise them or that huh'
dred thousand of Tie Copperhead stamp
voted against the amendment to the Con
stitution Of Pennsylvania recognising
them as freemen. They cannot shut theil
eyes to the conviction that McClellen now
represents the party which has branded
them as hirelings and whi6h has steadily
essayed to impair their efficiency by ex
tolling their enemies and counselling
resistance to the draft.
In fine, no soldier will vo te for man
who is not pledged to an un1inchingpros-
ecutiop of the war or whose record bears
an affinity with that of Vallan bingham
Seymore, Wood, aud others Of that class.
They will vote for no one who favors .
cessation of hostilities at the moment o!
victory. or who proposes to make terms

thinned and their best blood poured

The Price of Paper.

What's the matter with paper makers?
They do not appear to have heard Of the
decline in gold. When the latter went
up to 285 they promptly adVenced the
price of paper 25c per pound "because
OF the rise in the value Of ohemcls." This
was submitted to, But now that gold
has declined to 100, and chemicals have
gone down in proportion payer remains
at rs. Priting paper of supeoior quality
can now be inn orted from Europe and
laid down in New York at l9c per pound.
Of course this will be done. And per-
haps the paper makers will persist in
keeping up the price until they force all
the leading consumers to bring their sup
plies from abroa1. Then it is easy to
tell what the effect will be upon Ameri.
can manufacturers. 1t is a fact that
paper mills in Great Britain are now, to a
large extent. suspended for want of a
market for their products, and news print,
far superior to that now used in this coun-
try, is selling at 8 to Sc per pound, de-
liverable on board at Liverpool. Or
course it is net the interest of newspaper
publishers to do anything that will per-
manently cripple American manufactur-
ers, but they cannot be expected to pay
95c perspound, for ordinary paper, when
they can import a better quality at a
saving OF 8 to l0cts per pound. Wewarn
them to look to their interest before it is
too late.
Paper cannot be maintained at Sc in
England and 25c in the United States,
with gold at 1870 or less That's certain.

Ohio ana Virginia.

The Central State Of Ohio has produced
an e1traodiary number Of the great mill
lary leaders of this war. Lieut. Gen:
Grant is native Of Ohio. Maj. Gen
Sheridan, the dashing campaigner and sci
entilc soldier of the Shenandoah valley
is native of Ohio. Besides these, oul
most prominent Generals at ptesent, Gen
Rosecrans is native of Ohio, and so i
Gen. Gilmore; and the list of eminen
military officers from that State might BE-
greatly extended. There is evidently
large brain and good blood in the Ole
Buckeye State.
About as large proportion of the rebe
military leaders are natives Of the State o
ruginia. which borders on Ohio for q
great distance. We lately got from Rich

Vote the County Ticket.

The friends of the Union
should be very careful to vote
for the entire county ticket.
One of the plans Of the co p
perhead p1rty, is to induce
Union men to scratch" their
ticket, and by q careful atten-
tion to scratching" through
out the county, defeat the
whole Union ticket. The cop
porheads are, extremely care
full not to scratch their
ticket, should we ackn0wl-
edge that our men and cause
are not as worthy Of support
as theirs. Should not the
friends of the Union an d the
soldier, stand as firm as the
opposition. Don't yield an
inch to the approaches of the.
enemy. If anybody is made
to give let it be those who are
opposed to you. Vote the
cleon and unscratched Union
ticket.
Let it, with your patriot
ism, be sustained and unsul-
lied. Make our victoay de-
cisive and undivided.
