Experiment on Rats.

An amusing experiment on rats was
perpetrated in one of our large mercantile
houses on Sycamore street yesterday. Two
OF these animals had been trapped, and it
was decided to try the effect of whisky
upon them. "Forty drops" were admins
tered TO each of them by force, and the re-
suit awaited. Tney were placed in q wide,
deep box, into which sometrssh and gravel
had been thrown. a saucer of whisky
was also placed therein. For a while all
was silent, each rat having seated himself
in a corner, where he remained as morose
as a rat could be. By-snd by, however,
the liquor began to work. The rats began
TO smile and play with their tails; then to
jump up and squeak then to fall down
and roll over. 1-
Finally one Of them found the saucer,
and with the curiosity attached to the race,
dipped his nose into it. He drank, and
the noise of his drinking brought his com.
psnion to his side. They drank IS though
they were fond Of the stuff and it is esti-
mated took more than twice forty drops.
And now they got glorious. They wres-
tied, Ind kicked up shines generally. They
visited the saucer again and got mad; q
rough and tumble fight ensued until they
were exhausted. Finally both fell asleep,
and while thus unconscious, a terrier was
dropped beside them, and the curtain fell.

Judge BIshop's Letter.

We omitted yesterday morning to call
the attention of our readers to the letter Of
Judge Bishop on the new peril " of the
country and its sure remedy. The letter
is published in this mornings Tri. Weekly
edition, and we call the attention of our
readers to it. 1t exhibits most forcibIy the
necessity of giving the ballot to the freed
men IS a measure of protection to the
Union against the "new peril" which
threstsna it from the rampant disloyaIty
of the Southern whites. It also shows the
necessity that while we tolerate difference
of ofopiniOn among Union men, We should
insist upon the discussion of the question
until the nation realizes its danger and the
only sure means of protecting itself
against it.

rae Temperance Question.

An attempt to place legal restraints upon

suppression of the evils of intempersnce,
add these evils are greater to-day than
ever before in the history of the country.

That may be very sound reasoning. II
so, 1t is just as good in other cases as that
of intempersncs. Let US try it:

iaur PoIicx.

& Mr.. EDITOR Il am glad to see you n
gagged in the discussion of franchise ques-
tions-so vitality important to the national
welfare. Permit me a few words on the
Tariff. HtrTEt sthEIf ant
1t is useless to disguise the fact that the
farmers and mechanics of the West have
for the last twenty years permitted the
traders at the East to decide not only the
quality of Western produce, but the kinds
and the prices. Aft=r much toll and ex-i
penditure the wool-elipof q farmer is ready
for Market and money being much needed
he sells to a Specializing agent, not At his
own price, but for such sum Sc the agent
says he is instructed to offer. The contract
is made, the wool freighted, and in due
season delivered to the msnufacturer in
New England or the British jobber in New
York-the seller paying the transportation.
No purchaser transports at his own eI-
Pense, but invariably takes that sum off
the seller.
When the chills of autumn are upon US,

clothing must be had, and application Is
made to his merchant for q winter supply.
The wool sold by him in June has under
gone the manufacturing process, been made
into clothes, aud bought by the merchant
in the East-the latter paying Transports
ton and taxing the amount on the goods.
The farmer examines, likes the quality
gives the price, and is again in possession
of Lis own product, plus the cost OF two
transportstions and the rich profits OF
Eastern or English capitalists.
such policy gives employment and adds
to the wealth Of other people, but is a dead
weight upon the industry and o" high
tariff" on the cash imports of the West.
Is it wise or economicAl2 Shall the
wool growers continue to disregard the
plsinest dictates of common sense, and fol-
years to come follow the ssms suicidal pol
icy of fleeing the West to fstten the
East2 Or will they consider home inter-
ests, sustain home manufactures and en-
courage the development of Western re-
sources, by having the cloth they wear
spur, woven, dressed and sold in their
own Stste2 Garry forward this great
practical work of Protection, and the West
shall indeed become what its intrinsic
wealth ard strength entities it to become
the imperial poiOer of the nation.

DtsaGection In ohio.

A'privste meeting of radical Republicans
was ne d in Columbus on Wednesday last, 10
consider General Cox's letter, o the Oberlin-
ties. 1t was determined not to give Cox
their support for Governor, and a circular
to that effect is to be issued to the people
Of Ohio. 50 great is the feeling of the
" esrnest men of the Republican party
against Gen. Cox, that 1t is believed by
many, another. candidate will be brought
out-BvfaLo Courier.
The above statement not only, conveys
q false imp ression as to the feeling of the
Hradicals " toward General Cox, but has
not the slightest foundation in truth. So
far from desiring to bring out another can
didste the radical Unionists of Ohio are en-
thusiastic suppSters of the entire Union
ticket and every man now GA it. The
Copperhesds who hope 10 reap advantages
from divisions in the Union ranks are
doomed to grevious disappointment. Our
party was never more united, more deter
mil,ed or more hopeful, They mean to
give General Cox at least 500 OO majority
in October, and they will do it

Drops In CentraI Ohio

Especial Cor. Of the Pittsburg Com i
COLUMBLAEA, Ohio, August, 8, 1865.
Fruit and other items of interest," picked
up during a little trip through Wayne,
Kicnland, Knox and Muskingum counties,
Ohio, may ind a place in your place in
your paper. While in Knox county
saw ONE very fine apples, and ate some
fine pears. Farmers tod me that they
',hsd lots of cherries" there this season, and
expect a fair crop of fall fruit. Musking-
UNI county furnished me at every meal
with excellent pesches and plums. The
'keepers OF the vineyards" represented

ing they would more than half spoii.'
Rain is indeed plenty-eight and a half
inches last month, TO one mi q halt the
same month last year. 1 have never seen
the streams so universally swollen as they
are o through those counties.
Going from Newark through Mount
Vernon to Manifold you would suppose
nothing was planted but corn-it does
promise an excellent crop. Farmers say
they never saw such crops of hay and bar
ley rs they had, but much of both was
spoiled by the heavy rains. If it keeps
tais way, they say, clever will never seed.

The Cleveland HeraA misreprasents

The Cleveland Herald misrepresents
Che action ofthe Temperance Convention
held at Bsrea on Tuesday last, when it
charges thstthe convention passed reso-
luton in favor of separate political &C
ton" by Temperance men. By referring
TO the official records of the convention it
will be seen that no such sction was taken.
To be sure, sn effort was made to amend
the report of the committs on resolutions
by the insertion Of q resolution faSoring
{" separate political action" but the con-
vention voted down the amendment. The
resolution adopted reads as follows
Resolved, That we call on our fellow cit
izsns1 20 use their influsnce in primary
mesting'y at the polls and everywhere, to
elect to office temperance men, and we call
Oh all officers of law to see that the lswi
against intsmperSnce are faithfully exc.
cuted.
The Object of the convention IN adopt
ing this resolution was obviously not K
6o1msa separate political organization. L
merely recommends an effort to prevent
the nomiuSiionIof sntistemperance men By
the primary meetings aud conventions o
either party, and we confess that we ZEE nj
terrible ~impropriety in this. The member
of the convention, SO far frOm "deing al
they can to aid the disloyal Democracy
are all, or nearly all, vigorous Unionist'
Thew realize. in this critical period, tn
great necessity that exists for all loyal me-
to act in concert, and they need no seold
ing from that chronic scold, the Herald, t
induce them to stand by the party.

The New York World and h Ken
/ tusky Election.
The New York World is probsbly the
least posted journal in New York city on
the subject of Western politics. We lave
several times had occasion to correct It's
plumbers and misrepresentation. An H.
stance of the latter occurs in Wednesday
mornings issue OF thst paper, in an article
on the Kentucky election. The World
says that Gthe details of the voting thus
far received induce he belief that the DEM
oersts have elected seven, and perhaps
eight, of the Congressman" At that time
it was clearly to be seen by any one who
examined the "details of the voting" that
out of the nine Congressional districts in
the State the Union men had carried at
lssst four, 1iz: those Of Rousseau, Green
CLAY Smith, Mckee and Randall, and it is
now seen that they have carried at lesst
five and probably Elk. The Democrats
have elected three and possibly four Con-
| gressmen. 1t will be well for the World
to be careful of its election figures IN future.

schurz on Free labor i'm the South.
General Carl Schurz writes to the Bos-
ton Advertiser from Chsrleston to the effect
that according to his observations the free
labor system of that region Is not, in q ms
jo1ity of cares, undertaken in good faith
on the part of the planters. They affect
to disbelieve in the possibility of its sue
cess, and SO act as TO make it q failure, if
possible. Should the military be removed
the whites would at once act upon the the
ory that the blacks will not work except
or compulsion. He thinks, that under the
circumstances, the freedmen are doing a
{" middling fair " show OF labor. He says
further, that at the close Of the war the
p!suters attempted to keep their former
slaves on their plantations, believing that
as SOON as The civil government should be
restored the emancipation proclamation
would be- declared unconstitutionsl, and
the negroes bs again restored to slavery.
General Schurz, it will be remembered, WAS
sent South by the President to make OBJ
ssrvatIons as 10 the working of his "ex
pertinent" Of reconstruction.

Sir-Having received a circular request
ing YOU TO allow your name to go before
the Senatorial Convention IS q candidate
Tor the Office of ate Senator, and also
your consent thereto, l take the liberty TO
SIX YOU q few questions, IS you are 3 strsn-
tsetlto me personally snd politically. 1
take this liberty from the fact that the
tone hundred citizens" deprecate the sys-
TEN of iigrinding out" candidates, and 1
fully agree with them on that point.
For my own information, before l am
called on to vote, 1 wish to know your po-
sition on two points, although there are
many others, but these would be covered
perhaps by the declaration that you have
long been q Republican. The questions
which IWisht to ask are these:
-nsl.77 DO you hold to negro suffrage?
-f Is DOry you favor q law authorizing the
Trustees Of Townships to levy 3 tax on
to Enships to refund local bounties paid by
subscriptions to volunteers to be accredited
10 the township on the several calls Of thu
President for volunteers2
q These are new questions, but are to b
yet settled by our statesmen.
-11A private answer would satisfy me, bu
3 statement Of your views through tn,

doubt not, he very pleasing to many VIII
will perhaps be called on to give you
vote.
Excuse me for addressing a strange
