.IEFFFKSON COUNTY.

A terrihL accident happened in Steu.
benville on Wednesday afternoon, from
the ~caeless use of carbon oil. A lady by
the same OF Collins, whose husband works
At she depot in that city, after getting
through with dinner, was making prepa.
rations to do some ironing, when she dis
covered that the fire was, as she thought,
out and being in q hurry, she picked up
8 can of oil that was sitting handy, and
commenced pouring the fluid into the
stove. Although there was no fire visible
st the time, the oil ignited, the fame In.
ming into the can, causing it to explode
with terrible force, and Immediately envel-
oping the unfortunate woman in q sheet
Of fire. She ran into the yard screaming
for help, when q neiehbor woman threw
8 bucket of water upon her, This, how
ever, appeared only to exasperate the
flame, and before the fire could be subdued
she was burned in q horrible manner,
being literally roasted, the soles of her feet
being all that escaped. She fingered, en-
during the most excrucisting pain, until
next morning, when death put an end to
her suffering. This Is another terrible
warning to those who will persist in placing
their own, as well IS the lives of their
children and all around them, in danger
from the careless use of this dangerous
eombustible.
The loss of Messrs. r. s. G. McKennv
from the burning of their saw and planning
mill on last Saturday morning, will not
fall short of $40, O0O, upon which they had
no insurance. The cause of the fire as yet
remains q mystery.

rhe Preaident,s Position.

Hon. james Harlan, 8 member Of Presi-
dent Johnson's Cabinet in q letter TO q
friend in Iowa, thus defines the position Of
the President in relation to the suffrage
question:
president johnson maintsins the doc.
trine thst the Constitution of the United
States does not confer on the Federal Gov
eminent the right to interfere, primarily,
with the question of suffrage j any State
Of the Union; that the question may arise
and properly be decided By Congress, a0he7s
Senator's and members present hemsetrfS
for admission to seats tn that body under
the clause of the constitution which makes
each House the exclusive judge ofthe oEsi'
iRcations and elections Of mewIoIsI
that other clause of the copssssu1ono o. Me
Tn;t,.d- States which ~0Vloes thAt the
I-;so5 Statos sbeSguRrantee TO every
800 40 I<fdh q republican form Of
1InE infer that If any State
so<s6 adopts Law on the subject of suf-
4sge which would clearly show the State
government TO be other than republican, it
would be the duty of Congress to reject
applicants for seats, and to adopt Whatever
legislative remedies would in their judg-
ment be necessary TO carry out the guAran-
tees of the constitution"
If MI. Harlan truly describes the Presi-
dents position, the whole question is in the
hands of Congress, to be decided without
Executive dictation or interference; and
this being 50, we may reasonably hope for
q decision in conformity with justice and
the national honor.

Rurnhae ON EquaI saGrage.

The War Democrats those who e.
poused the cause of the Union and the
Government cutting loose from party ties

ysnced than the mass of the old Republi.
cans in their advocacy of equal suffrage
Butler, Stanton, Dickinson, Forney, and
hosts of other old.time Democrats have
declared unequivocally in favsr OF ad-
hitting the freedmen to The bsllot-box'
Another old Democrat, not less illustrious,
whose fame has been won in the field rsth-
er than in the forum, Ambrose G. Burnside
gave in his adhesion to the same great
principle in his speech at the Wool Man
ufacturer's Convention in Philadelphia. He
said:
HI think the only thing to do now is 70
tryto make our neighbors of the South and
every one else feel that We ought 70
grant to every freemen on this continent
the right to help rule the land. And,
while We grant this, let US ask Almighty
God, who has assisted US SO long, to infu-
ence all those who may have the right to
vote, to vote on the right side. LGreat sp-
plause.
These old Democrats sill compose the
true Democracy of the country. Accord
ing to Webster, q Democrat is who
fsvors the extension of the right of suf-
frsge to ell classes of man" Tried by this
standard, the advocates of universal suf-
frage are the real Democracy, and the
psQedo- Democrats of to day, led by Val
l~andigham and PendletOn, are a set of i'm
posters, who have stolen q good name, and
are trying to sneak into power by its
virtue.

the Scriptures and giving instruction In

them in their daily duties; watch over the

Pardon for a-PistoL.

A few days ago q very interesting scene
took place at the usual crowded reception
of the President. Applicants were ap-
preaching Nj. johnson, each with his case
ready; after briefly stating which, and q
record being made of it by the private Sec
rotary, way was made for Athers. In the
line was Mr.. Banks, an enterprising young
merchant of New York, and his friend,
Mr.. Kervan, of P~etersburgh, 9 leading mil
Ter, who applied for pardon, coming,
Is he did, within the twenty thousand
sand dollar or thirteenth clause of the
amnesty proclamation. As soon as the
President saw Mr.. Banks he recognized
him, asking him his business, and hearing
that it WA to ask 9 pardon for Mr.. Ker-
van, he took a note of it. and told him,
smilingly, he would hear from him in the
morning. The reason why the President
recognized the young New Yorker is
best explained by the following short
narrative: In April of 1861, after
the Senate of the United States had sd.
journed, hi. Bank was going from Wash.
lngton TO the South, on the railroad
running by GordonsTille and Petersburg.
At his side was a worry pleasant person,
who conversed freely on the different topics
of the hour, and finally asked him to
change q $3.50 gold piece, which he did.
When the cars stopped ct GordonsviIle
there was 3 great and excited crowd as
sembled. They at once demanded, and
sent some of their number into the train 10 |
see, "Whether Andy johnson was on bosrdF |
aLets hear from himl" GDraR him
out Tn at this moment the gentleman
side of Mr.. Banks rose, and was walk
to the platform to show himself when
the engineer started the train and dashed
of ct his best speed. His companion was
Andrew JohnsonI As hetook bis seat Nh.
BankE asked him where he was going. He
said, $40 my home at Greenville, Tenn al
Am glad we got off from those gentlemen,
said Banks. At am sorrv,1
'aid johnson az wanted to tell them
RhstI thought Of secession" Mr.. Banks
hen asked the Governor if he was armed.
rhe reply was in the negative; when the !
New Yorker handed one of his fine re-.
to the Tennessee Sens-
OF, and they soon afterwards parted 1

Banks has his gold piece to this
sy. The next morning he was sent for, !
nd as the President met him he SAID, 81
