THE FIRST LIE OF THE CAMPAIaN.-On
the morning after Andy johnson was NOM
mated, the Washington Comstits:tiomnlist
(Copperhead) started, and the Cincinnati
enquirer (Copperhead) republished ride
ulous story that Andy johnson

she may buy bread TO keep her poor soul
and body together. Ingratitude can assume
no darker shade than this"
Now the only circumstances in which
this Copperhead lie needs correcting, are
that Andy Johnson mother removed with

plains of a five weeks dry spell.
We were in attendance at the funeral of
Mai. Abraham John, of the 35th Iowa in
fantry, at Muscatine, on Friday last, and
were pleased to see from the numbers that
swelled the procession that the sons Of
Iowa who offer their lives as sacrifice for
the perpetEity Of our institutions, are con.
sidered by those remaining at home as
worthy all the honor that can be shown
their remains but, like the editor of the
Journal of that city, we were surprised at
the absence of a military escort or even the
cheap tribute of covering his remains with
the flag of that Union for which he gave
his life. The ;attered and war-worn BAN
ner and battle-flag of his regiment was
suspended in a window of the street thro'
procession itself was seen nothing to be-
token the manner of death of the brave

quite natural for one who loves the flag of
his country. The true reason for the alb
serce of this patriotic manifestation was
the opposition of the father-in-law of the
deceased-a man thoroughly inoculated
with the virus of Democratic hatred Of the
old flag, and a recognized "wheel-horse''
in that party. Some Of his personal friends
apologize for his conduct on the ground
that he is getting old and childish. Chill
dren are proverbially more honest than
men. Could anything more fully demon
s!rate the reasonable tendency Of modern
Democratic teachings and associations?-

PoLITICAL. - The Aboltionists had q
''rally" in the State House yard last night,
after the adjournment of their State Con-
vention, and there was tolerably good
crowd in attendance, considering the dull
ness and smallness Of the Convention. An
excellent band, which made the square
merry with its melody, was the principal
attraction. Gov. Brough, Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Stanton, the Rev. NJ. P. Gaddis,
and old Gen. Louden addressed the crowd.
Brough and Gaddis informed the assembled
multitude that the political campaign
now being inaugurated was far more i'm
portant than battle or even victory,
and that the success of the Abolitionists at
the ensuing elections was of more conse-
quence than a military campaign. This
idea is the prevailing opinion in loyal cir
cles, and is very forcible illustration of
loyal patiotism. 1t don't matter much ac-
cordiDg to the Abolitionists, whether Grant
succeeds or not, provided the loyalists carry
their township tickets.
The speeches upon the occasion of the
ratification were all in about the same old
strain, and not worth the pencils which
would be wasted in reporting them.

Administration in resisting by all the force
known to civilized war the effort to destroy
our National Union; cordially indorse the
Presidents emancipation proclamation as
legitimate war measure; regard the use of

cordially declare that if Abraham Lincoln
receives the nomination of the Baltimore
Convention, we will give him our most
earnest support.

THE CITY.

WORKING FOR WAdER.--FRsT RATE
JokE.Afhe vicinity of State and High
street was the scene of q considerable ex-
element yesterday, and the performance of
novel practical joke. Upon a wager of
thirty dollars Mr.. II. w. Broderick, gen.
tleman well to do in the world, whose name
and figure is familiar to almost everybody
in Columbus, undertook to remove huge
pile of ashes from State street in front of
Geo. Merions Saloon, loading 1t himself
upon wheel-barrow, and emptying it into
the river, adistance of four squares. Those
acquainted with Mr.. Broderick and
aware of the fact that he probably
never performed days hard work In his
life, were trife incredulous and could
not be made to believe that he would re-
ally undertake the task. He did undertake
1t, however, and accomplished the work
within the given period. Meyers brass
band was in attendance, and enlivened the
crowd and kept up the nerve of the worker
who steadily and stoutly persisted until the
feat was accomplished. In taking the last
load to the river he was accompanied by
the band and all immense concourse OF citi-
zens who enjoyed the fun exceedingly and
cheered heartily at the conclusion of the
performance. After the first job was over
another purse of thirty dollars was raised,
aud Brodtrick wheeled load through High
street from the Depot to the Court House
and took down the money. In accordance
with the previous agreement the entire
amount was handed over to the Sanitary
Commission, to be appropriated to the re-
lief of sick and wounded soldiers.
The whole performance passed off with
the utmost good humor and occasioned
many hearty and wholesome laugh among
those who witnessed it, but by no one was
it apparently so heartily enjoyed as by the
chief actor.

Important from the Front.

PHILADELPHA, May 25.-The Bulletin
has the following special dispatch:
| WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Republican
has an extra which contains the following
highly important and glorious intelligence: (:
1t gives us pleasure to be able to announce
that intelligence has reached this city that
Lee, after falling back from the North An
ma, as has already been stated, commenced
a hasty retreat, and he had reached point
beyond the South Anna river, pursued with
great vigor by Grant. The latter is in the
saddle all the time, day and night, direct
ing general movements in person.
Unless Lee stops to fight to-day, we shall
next hear of grand conflict in front of
Richmond, before or in the works of that
capital. Reports say that JEFF. Davis and
his Cabinet left Richmond some days ago.
There is little doubt that Richmond by this
time, is pretty well cleared out of its in
habitants, and that it is nothing less than
fortress.
There are still number of our sick and
wounded at Fredericksburg. Skirmishing
witt. guerrillas occurs daily, but always in
our favor.

bring down the house.

two from each Congressional District, to
