THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT


The speech of Gen. LOGAN, which we
printed yesterday, the Herald says was
listened to with marked attention, and
every word that he uttered carefully
weighed. Instead of following the theory
marked out in the resolutions, which were
expressly worded to dictate policy on re-
construction and negro suffrage to Presi-
dent JOHNSON, he boldly announced the
Presidents real policy on sepoints. He
refuted the theories of the radicals, and
was applauded to the encore at every step.
The reception which he receive nroved
conclusively that he spoke the sentiments
Of the people. They paid the closest at
tention to every word that Gen. LOGAN
uttered. His speech, therefore, represents
the sentiments of the meeting. In short,
the politicians attempted to glorify them
selves and dictate policy to President
JOHNSON under the shadow of our military
heroes. But it resulted in their being COM
pletely foiled in the latter-totally eclipsed
and lost sight of in the enthusiasm for the
Generals. President JOHNSON policy was
fully endorsed in spite of the politicians,
and their radical resolves ignored. Never
were schemes Of politicians SO disastrously
spoiled, or the policy of Chief Magis-
trate SO emphatically approved. The
managers of the demonstration saw their
notifying defeat and the dilemma in
which they had placed themselves. The
meeting was called under the pretence of
endorsing President JOHNSON, but with the
real intention of debating policy to him.
In this they were most decidedly defeated.

The President has issued two proclama-
tons, the one removing all restrictions
upon trade with the South, except articles
contraband of war, and removing liabili-
ties and disquali6cations consequent upon
the rebellion in Tennessee.
The other is reconstruction proclama-
ton for Mississippi, appointing Judge WIN.
SHARKEY, Provisional Governor, but in all
other respects the language is identical
with the North Carolina proclamation.
No person is allowed to participate in the
election of members of the State Conven-
ton unless he is "voter, qualified as pre-
scribed by the constitution and laws of the
State Of Mississippi in force Immediately
before the 9th of January, 1861, the date
of the so-called ordinance of secession. ("
President JOHNSON has deliberately marked
out policy Of reconstruction, that prom
ises the happiest results, and we do not
believe he will be induced to modify it,
even if the radical storm should beat about
his head with ten-fold fury. He will not
lend himself to the mad schemes of fanat-
les, but will allow the people of the States
to manage their own affairs in their own
way, under the constitution, without in
reference or annoyance. No man who
has the welfare of the country at heart,
will refuse to endorse President JoHNsoN's
policy.

In the absence of the Bishop, little dis
position was manifested to engage in the
work of legislation; and by common con-
sent speeches were made short, and the
essential business dispatched before dark.
At night, the Missionary Sermon was
preached by the Rev. E. R. WELLEs, after
which sundry short addresses was deliver
ed, mostly by Missionaries on the border.
The Convention was characterized by
the greatest harmony and concert of feel
ing and action; and but for the sadness
created by the sickness and absence of
the Bishop, would have been one of the
happiest Conventions ever held in the
Diocese. The prospects Of the church
were never so good as at the present time.

Tue Winona Republican has come out
manfully in support of President Johnson's
North Carolina Proclamation. It SAYS:

The course OF the ADMINISTRATION seems to
have been laid ont with reference to the subject
in hand, deliberately and firmly. In his North
Carolina proclamation. President johnson has
declared himself unequivocally in favor of the
constitutional method of dealing with the cleo
tive franchise Much as we miptt
wish to extend the elective franchise to all
classes of persons we believe that the doctrine
upon which President johnson bases his North
Carolina proclamation is the only tenable one.

Ex-Governor Aiken,

The annexed item, in reference to this
distinguished individual we copy from
the Richmond Wing of the 10th inst.
"The President has ordered that no
military guard shall longer observe the
movements of Governor Aiken The
latter has been kindly received by the
President, and it is sunderstood that there
ia no just cause for his arrest by the mil.
itarv commandant at Charleston. ..
Governor Aiken was closeted on
Wednesday with President johnson.
He had long interview with Secretary
Stanton in the evening, has the freedom
of the city, and enjoys the society of
members of his family who come on with
him; from all Of which it is argued that
he is here in aid of the Government,
rather than to receive its discipline"

SUSPECTED CASE OF PoIsoNING.-A week
ago last Monday, DR.. Hopkins was called
about ten o'clock at night to the house of Mr..
Gabfiel Faust, to see child some ten years
old; that appeared to be in commissions. The
child had been well at tea time, had gone to
bed between and 9 o'clock, and at ten
O'Clock was found in commissions. DR.. H.
administered medicine for worms and left :,
but few hours afterwards was again called I;
when he found the child much worse-indeed
dying. At o'clock it died: tr. H. caiiis
away with strong impression that the child
had been poisoned with steychnlne and SO
stated and when afterwards it was ascertain
ed that the child was step child, and had
been very harshly treated by its step-mother
suspicion grew strong, that on Thursday.
(he child having been buried OH Wednes-
day. the body was disenterred by the Coroner,
and a post norton examination held. The
result of that examination was, verdict By
tie Jury that the child came to its death from
poison administered by the step-mother. The
contents of the stomach and liver were ana
lyzed by Drs. Stout and Wylde. and they
swear positively to the presence of strych-
nine. Upon this Mrs. Faust was arrested
and committed for the murder. Her friends,
however, were unwilling to let her lie in pris
on under such charge, and yesterday had
her brought before Judge HOLSTER on writ
of hubeas corpus. A long and tedious e1-
animation thereupon recommended, which
was not concluded as we closed our forms
last evening.

WATER WoRKs.-Do our people know that
Ottawa is supplied with an abundance of as
good water as ever bubbled from the side of a
New Hampshire mountain, or any other
mountain. One would think not, from the
little that Is said or apparently thought,
about it. We had occasion last week to
look at the work which Judge CATION has
recently been doing on the south side. He
has tapped the fountain head the great
subanterrnean lake We have often''spoke Of
in two places, drawing thence two large
streams which converg at new, substantial
reservoir just built near the Congregational
Church. This reservoir is so constructed as
first to clear the water of oil sediment, then
carry off the surplus water, and. then convey
the balance in large, substantial iron pipes
TO Ottawa. Judge c. has thus far, we be-
lieve, spent some $4,000 on these works.
and our citizens can judge as we'll as we can
how much profit the Investments yielding. We
fear it has even been less in dollars and cents
than in credit he has received for public
spirit.
The day is rapidly approaching, however,
when Ottawa will appreciate the enterprise
and public spirit Of Judge c. in this matter.
The wells of Otta Wa, as buildings become
more dense, are rapidly being ruined, and this
water, which is now looked upon only as a
luxury, wiz become necessity in every
family.
