GEN. BANKS LAST RETREAT.-A let
ter from New Orleans says that General
Banks has been requested to vacate the
private house he has been OF late residing
in, the owner, Mr. r. H. Short, claiming
it as his property under the act of par
don which he has just received from the
President Boston Paper.
The sequel to the story, as we have
heard it told, is that Gen. Banks, net
having been accustomed to ''that sort Of
thing" of claiming private rights under
his Louisiana administration, laughed at
Mr.. Shorts request to have his residence
restored to him,and declined it. But Mr.
Short was armed for the encounter, and
had something in his pocket beside the
pardon, to wit: an order from Washing
ton for the delivery of his property. He
quietly exhibited his document at head
quarters, whereupon Gen. Banks walked
out. The first method of evacuation pro.
posed would have been the most graceful
in. a civil, as well as the most ''mastcrly'
in a military point of view,-Ne,o Orleans

Elections i'm Ohio.

The Democracy of this State entered
the late campaign under immense dis
advantages. Two years ago Mr.. Vallan-
digham was defeated for Governor by 81,
600 on the home vote and 10000 on the
soldiers yote--101 900 in all. Last year
Mr.. Lincoln's majority was $4,000 on the
home vote, and about 60,000 on the total
vote. No one expected to overcome these
fearful odds in one year, but the gallant
Democracy entered the contest unbashed
and had the Republican State Conven-
ton met the issue of negro suffrage squar-
ely and not lodged it, and had not Mr..
Cox taken an equiyoeal position, the
Democracy would have redeemed Ohio.
As it is, their huge maiorities of one and
two years ago have probably diminished
down to 10000 Another set to may
sweep that away. .-Stark Co., Demo

On the 23d ult. quite number of ne
croes from different parts OF the State
met at Putin Bay for the purpose of cell
ebrating the anniversary of the Issuing of
the emancipation proclamation by Presi-
dent Lincoln. The crowd present called
|upon John Browu, son Of old Ossawato-
mie Brown, who resides upon Putin Bay
Island, and invited him to address them.
Mr.. Brown accepted the invitation and
addressed the negroes. A Republican
friend of ours, who was present, and in
whose veracity we have the greatest con-
idence, has furnished us with the fol-
lowing synopsis Of the main points OF the
| speech:
Mr.. Brown opened his remarks by re-
ferring to the occasion which had called
them together, and after some compliment
tary remarks in regard to President Lin
coin, and lengthy dissertation upon the
noble qualities of the black race, he
said:
| "My colored friends, you have now the
fright to one box, and that is the cartridge
box; but there are two other boxes which
YOU ought to claim One is the ballot
box and the other is the jury box. If the
white people fail to give you these, end L
you cannot get them in peaceable way
l advise you to arm yourselves and de-
mand your full rights from the Govern
Iment.'
In order to impress this idea more firm
lly on the minds of his hearers, Mr.. u
gave the statistics of the number of ne
groes in the United States, Canada anc
Hayti, and said:
"There is some talk of colonizing you
my colored brethren,i i'm some far-off Stat'
or cline 1 advise you not to listen t.
any such monstrous proposition. ID
, not go; but, on the contrary, remain here
and fight for your rights if necessary
You will be aided in The contest by man.
of our white brethren. The son of ole
John Brown will never deceive you" etc
In concluding his speech, Mr.. Brow
gave the negroes the following advice:
Remember your arms, keep your bay
t onets bright, and be ready for the coming
: issue"
!, 1t is hardly necessary for us to com
ment on the speech of Mr.. Brown. Gu
readers will fully understand what h'
> means. They will see that he is but fol
: lowing in the footsteps of his father, VIII
was hung for getting up an insurrectio
lin Virginia, capturing the Governmen
n armory at Harper's Ferry, and for tn
y murder of innocent persons. The youn
:. ger Brown seems to have inherited tn
insane idea of his ther,and, if possible
is more bold In the enunciation of hi
opinions than was his ancestor.

Arrest OF Catholic Priests In Mis-
souri,.

The repugnance to take the "Test
Oath" in Missouri seems to be gaining
ground among the clergy, rather than 9TH
erwise. We learn from dispatches to the
Chicago papers of last Thursday, that
Rev. Mr.. Cronin, priest of the Catholic
Church, of Hannibal, was arrested on
Tuesday, on complaint lodged against
him for preaching without first having
taken and filed the oath of loyalty. No
resistance was made to the arrest. The
accused was taken before Justice N O.
Archer, and, having confessed to viola
tion of the law, was bound over in the
sum of one thousand dollars to appear at
the next term of the Marion Circuit
Court. A Jefferson City dispatch says
the Catholic priest in that place who was
arrested for violating the law of the New
Constitution, srequiring preachers to take
the oath of loyalty. appeared before the
Justice and gave bonds for his appear
ance at the next term of the Circuit Court
for trial, in the sum of four thousand
dollars, j. D. Smith, Esq, one of the
most energetic and sklllful attorneys at
the bar, has undertaken the defense.

The Mask OF.

Since the election, the Pittsburg Chron-
icle openly claims the result in Pennsyl-
vania as Negro Suffrage victory.
In Iowa, correspondent of the Chi
cago Republican says:
s'The anti Negro Suffrage party has
gone up an inglorious spout. This, city
has given the Republican ticket over one
hundred majority This county (Polk)
gives Stone about two hundred and fifty
majority, and the entire county ticket
from two hundred and fifty to three hun
dred AMI twenty-five
The anti-Negro Suffrage party was the
one which supported the soldiers ticket
in that State. Here is an allusion to
them:
"Copperheads with soldiers clothes on
are dropping with no demand, and quota
tions are nominal. One dollar of Con.
federate scrip will cover all their stock in
Iowa politics. Hs4 III
1t is evidently the intention of the Rad
icals, after they have carried the elections
by false pretenses, to saddle upon the peo-
pie Negro Suffrage.
