THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The militia system of the State was put
10 severe test during the year, and |
am happy 10 say that Ii passed the ordeal
in The most satisfactory manner. In the
month of April, at conference Of the
Governors OF Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin, il was determined to offer
to the Government the services of eighty.
FIVE thousand militia for the term OF one
hundred days-the quota of Ohio being
fixed at thirty thousand. The policy OF
this movement did not admit OF doubt or
hesitancy. The summer campaigns were
about to open in Virginia and Tennessee.
Both Of them must necessarily operate
upon continually lengthening lines of
communication, requiring large forces TO
protect them. AT the same time it vas
necessary that the Virginia army should
cover and protect the National Capital,
and that OF Tennessee hold safe the Dor.
der. In previous campaigns we had suf-
fered from this species of depletion to an
extent that seriously impaired the value

REPORT OF THE TOWN OFFICERS

The report Of the President of the Board
of Trustees Of the town Of Gold Hill shows
that we are working ourselves out Of debt,
notwithstanding the hard times. The re-
port is quite full and enables taxpayers to
see where the money goes to. In fact it
is the first report by town officers worthy
of the name. The law requires that a re-
port shall. be made quarterly. The late
Board Of Trustees neglected to comply
with its provisions, and we have a long
space OF time in which the proceedings Of
the Town Fathers are yelled in as much
mystery to the taxpayers as the proceed
ings of the Fenians to the uninitiated.
This late report, however, reaches back to
the time the management Of town affairs
was assumed by the present Board, and
extends over a period Of nearly four
months. During that time the total
amoun of warrants drawn by the Clerk
was S7,724 81. The amount Of money
paid out for interest and coupons was,
according TO the Treasurer's report, ST.
497 %, making the total expense Of run
ming the town government and paying
the interest on the outstanding debt
some $l2,22l 10. The total amount Of
receipts during the period covered by the
report were more than double that sum.
The Board have during that period paid
cash to the amount of $685. II for the
redemption of bonds and warrants, from
the Redemption Fund alone. The pay
ments Of warrants drawn on the Contin-
gent Fund has also exceeded the amount
Of the warrants drawn on that fund dur
ing the same time by some $3.50 IS. This
is what we call getting out Of debt. An
other pleasing feature Of the report is the
handsome balance Of cash on hand at the
date to which the report is brought down.
The present Treasurer received from his
predecessor the sum Of 1913 60. The bal
ance in his hands when his report was
made up was S3,s93 OF, a part OF which
was last evening ordered to be paid out
for the redemption of outstanding war
rants. The financial condition Of the town
is rapidly improving. The expenses for
the next four months can safely be esti-
mated at much less than during the last
four, and the interest on the outstanding
Indebtedness will be considerably less.

Copperhead ChaRrin.

We expressed yesterday q curiosity to
learn how the "Cops." would receive the
statement in reference to President John
sons political status. The first groan and
grand mailing. sign Of distress reaches us
from the Express. The editor says:
1.-THE story comes from one Major Gen.
eral S~tearnes, of Massachusetts,, and if truo
as given, shows Andrew Johnson to be a
little less intelleuted man than he gener-
ally has credit for, in fact a rather bright
specimen Of IN ass. How a State could
never have been out of the Union, never
have lost its sovereignty, and yet lose
every attribute of sovereignty and every
right appertaining to State fellowship, is a
little more than any plain common sense
man can understand, and such proposition,
fairly propounded, can only emanatc from
IN ienoramus. "
The idea of the Presidents saying, or
rather intimating, thRt 'the Democracy
discovered he YVES in advance of it, and
was now trying to come up to his stand
ard, is q little too much"
OF course. President Johnson is IN
lass and an " ignoramus." Of course,
it is too much to ask the democracy"
to come to Johnson-the President should
20 to the Democracy-the wrong should
not 60 to the right, but the right should
go to the wrong, thus converting all
Democrats into rebel sympathizers.
If the rebels and the Coppcrheads ex-
poet President Johnson to make traitors
and treason honorable, we think they
strangely estimate the man. Andrew
Johnson still recollects the men who drove
him out of East Tennessee. He recollccts
the rebel mob which pursued and fired on
him as he passed through Cumberland
Gap. He rccollGcts who confiscated his
property, sold his negroes on the block
and put the money into the Confederate
treasury, and who turned his family into
the street and converted his residence into
a hospital for rebel soldiers. As his fam
lily and sick wife passed out by rebel or
dcrs, a y the Knoxville Wing, they were
arrested BY Bragg and turned back, and
made to tarry all night i'll a house without
fire. They drove the Presidents two sons
out of the country into the Union army,
and one Of them died in the service. They
kept his son-in-law, Colonel Slower, hid
id the mountains for three long Winter
months, where he laid the foundation of
the disease that carried him off. They had
his other s~on.in-law, Judge Patterson,
under arrest on the charge of treason. The
President can not sympathize with rebels
in the South, or their politicnl friends in
the North. The President will never go
to the Copperhcads, though the Copper
heads may go to the President. No one
objects to their confessing their sins and
coming to the Union party. We however
most positively protest against President
Johnson begging pardon from Jeff. Davis.
We don't yet believe that General Grant
is liable to arrest by General Lee, for vio-
lating his parole! We still believe that a
loyal soldier or civilian is worthy Of nearly
as much respect as a rebel! We still be-
lieve an honest man is nearly as good a
citizen as a thief appeal.

MucH e

The South Carolina Convention passed
some resolutions requesting the President
to grant a general amnesty, giving the fol-
lowing reason for their request:
aSThe late wal was not one Of M oppress-
cd people against tyranny, but arose simply
from Misrepresentation on their part; there
fore, not having been strictly IN the nature
of a rebellion, they suggest to President
johnson the justice and wisdom Of not en-
forcing the penalties affixed to the crime
Of rebellion by the laws Of the United
States"
The misapprehension referred to was
the claim that the people of the South
were oppressed, and that the rebellion
was resistance to tyranny. We are glad
that the eyes of South Carolina are OPEN
ed at last, and that the people of that
rebellious State are convinced that they
were not the victims of Northern tyranny.
Yet this is q very funny reason to base an
application for an amnesty upon. If it is
reasonable that the rebels should not be
punished for going to war against the
Government ,cithout a cause, then it fol-
lows that if they had had one, and had
been an oppressed people, they should
have been punished without mercy. This
is a new principle in jurisprudence, and
would only have been thought of by q
subjugated South Carolinian.
If the gentlemen of that State will rub
up their memories they will recall another
Misrepresentation that had a good deal to
do with the beginning of the war, viz:
that one rebel could whip five Yankees,
and that the latter were too cowardly to
fight. Had it not been for this mlsappre-
hension it is probable that there would
have been no war at oil /; for even chivalry
itself can hardly be expected to fight when
it is certain of a whipping instead of con-
ident Of victory. Experience is said to
be a dear school, yet the knowledge OBJ
tanned in it is likely to stick; and the
South is benefited at least to the extent
Of the removal of two very serious mis-
apprehensions.

had been advertised as a prodigy. 1t is a
pity-we must repeat-that a northern
bred young man must be made the clip
pigeon Of the COpperheads this Fall. They
will pat Mitchell on the back and say
"good fellow" after he is defeated just
as though they did not perfectly well I'M

The Women Emigration Project.

The w omen EiniRrntion Ero1ect.
It has already been mentioned in u
columns that Hon. Asa S. Mercer, a men,
Der of the Territorial Council of Wash
ington Territory, had been authorized by
Gov. Picking to 90 East and endeayor to
find alienation for the wifeless condition
Of the majority Of the citizens Of that far
off region. After many vexatious de-
lays, Mr.. Mercer obtained the use Of the
Government steamer Continental, for the
transportation of the cargo of fair mes to
their new homes. The New York Post
says Of the emigrants:
The whole expense Of sending them to
Washington Territory, to be paid by Mr..
Mercer, is stated at from $1,000 to $780,
900, of which some $40, 900 will be for
coal. The amount he will receive from
the girls and from the other emiGrants will
not exceed $4,000. All Mr.. MERGERS
means are involved in this scheme. How
he will get back the rum does not appear.
The girls will be notified to come to this
city as soon as the vessel is ready next
week. They will arrive by rail and by
steamboat from all directions, and will go
on board at once. Governor Andrew
will make an address to them on the occa-
SION of their departure.
The whole number of emigrants who
have up to this time agreed to 90, is about
seven hundred-six hundred and fifty Of
whom are in progress, and it is considered
certain that the number Of women will be
not less than seven hundred.
The largest number of the young
women who accompany the expedition,
and whose presence constitutes its princi-
pie feature, are from the New England
States. They are chiefly the daughters Of
soldiers. Their ages vary from sixteen to
twenty-five years F; q very few are older.
They are guaranteed employment when
they arrive in Washington Territory, with
a sufficient remuneration to make them
independent. This is not a matrimonial
adventure; it is expressly stipulated that
the wages of the girls shall. be adequate
for their support without recourse to
marriage, though there is not the most
distant probability that any young woman
who desires to marry will be prevented.
These girls, we are assured, are, in respect
to education and personal qualities, equal
to the average Of the women in this or any
other State. Many of them go out as
teachers and Others to engage in any occu-
patton with which they are familiar. None
of them are received without ample recon-
mendations. The sum they are to receive
is four dollars q week in gold. About
one-third Of the whole number will pay
twenty-five dollars each towards defray-
ing the expenses of their journey. All
the others go free.
The few families who emigrate in this
company are mechanics, who are much
needed on the Pacific Coast. About one
half Of them are shoemakers; the remain
der have useful trades. The young men
who are of the party have been soldiers,
and were in the service from the begin
ming Of the war. Several of them were
wounded.
