HUNDRED AND Thirty FIVE WOMEN AND
CHILDREN MURDERED IN CoLD BLooD -
We have received cia Holland, letter
from Japan three days later than the news
already published, It has been already
stated that, the Prince Of Nagato having
refused to pay the var indemnity stipula
ted in tie treaty Of peace signed By MIN, a
judgment of the criminal tribunal Of Yeddo
had decided that his two palaces should be
RACED to the ground aud his servants put to
death. We learn that this singular and
sanguinary sentence was approved Of by
the Mikado and by the Talcoum, the
spiritual and temporal sovereigns Of Japan,
and that the number Of servants killed in
execution Of it was four hundred and TWEEN
ty men and two hundred and fifteen women
and. children. The Prince, Oh learning
the facts, was deeply concerned, and sent
to the capital his First Minister on board
the English corvette Barrossa, which was
placed at his disposal by Vice-Admiral
Kupcr. The Minister, on arriving at
Yeddo, waited upon the representatives. Of
France, England, Holland. America and
Russia, and besought them to iutercede
with the Talcoum in favor Of the Prince,
his master, who had decided on executing
all the provisions of the treaty, and imme-
diately paying the sums due. Such was
the situation Of affairs at the last date

The New York Independent considers it
- lamentable sign of the times TO see
.he alacrity with which the Republican
and Democratic parties in some of the
states are trying TO outvie each other in
praises of Mr.. JmNsoN's mpra:seworhy
policy"
So far as the Republican party is con-
cerned. perhaps it is lamentablc," be-
cause two-thirds of that party is. in SEN
timent, opposed to the liberal and judi
cious policy inaugurated by the Presi-
dent, and deliberately falsifics, for the
sake of holding office, when it pretends
to endorse it, The Democratic party
supports ANDREW JoHNsoN's reconstruc-
ton policy on priaeiple, not from any
mercenary motive. We believe thecourse
the President is pursuing to be the right
one, and The only one that can give the
nation speedy prosperity or lasting peace,
and we endorse it accordingly, no matter
by whom it is originated or pursued.

The Tennessee vaudeville.

Our readers will remember that we
published, several days ago, the eircum-
stances in the case of little girl in Nash
vile, who was being tried before mill
tary commission for the crime of treason.
Well, the trial has been concluded and
the sentence is promulgated condemning
the child to imprisonment in a military
prison ninety days, and to pay a fine of
three hundred dollars, or remain inprison
until the fne is discharged at the rate of
two dollars per day.
General JOHNSON, commanding the dis
tIict of Middle Tennessee, has approved
the finding of the military commission,
but has entirely RENTED the sentence
The concluding portion of his order in
the case reads as follows:
The conduct Of the prosecuting witness
ses deserves passing remark. The tes-
timony shows that they had resolved on
changing their place of abode previous to
July 4th, but agreed to remain at the
house of Mr. Latimer until after that date
in order to ensnare his little daughter,
and get her into trouble, Their first bat
tie for the flag ,Uas ,cith little school girl!
The entire transaction looks like the
work of children temporarily removed
from parental control
BY command of Brevet Major General
JOHNSON.

blv and hasbeen confirmed by tho opins
ioi, Of the Congrees of the United sfates,
e ia outright, and common prudence re-
or1ires. with this prepondorence OF law
and evidence in favor OF our connectlon
with that State, that We should send
delegates to its Legislature at Richmond,
through whom we shall have voice IN
the enactment of laws by which, in all
human probability, we shall be governed
in fine future. An omission to do this
would be in manifest neglect Of our in
terests."
At the same time it advises all who can
do so to vote for members of the West
Virginia Legislature and for circuit
Judge. The Virginia election will be
held ON the 10Th inst, and tho Press says
that on that day polls will be opened in
the various voting precincts in Jefferson
county.
A movement is on foot in Monongalia
county to erect at the county seat
monument to the soldiers from that
county who died in the army. 1t is pro-
posed that each township shall furnish
q MARBLE slab on which are engraved the
names of the dead from that township.
THE Morgantown Post says, 1--WE are
clad to see that popular opinion is rap
| idly forming against the constitution
atty and right Of the oath bill"
The Republican party in Berkeley
county has nominated William Smith
and A. R. McQuilkin as candidates for
the House of Delegates. Smith was q
member of the last Legislature and vo-
ted with the Radicals.
The Marietta, Ohio, Times, Of last
week, says:
Hon. W. E. Stephenson Ex-senator
across the river,) passed through town,
last Sunday on his way home. He had
been making stump speeches in this
county. The city of Marietta can not
hold such great: men long at time
Too small, antiquated, unprogressive,
and all that. SO he gave MS ease BY gra.
ciously going through, without obstruc.
tions of any kind. The city, as soor as
he got on the ferry.boat, felt considera'
bly, relieved.
Books have been opened for subscrip
tions to the stock of Gas Company in
'Clarksburg. Col. Despard snbscribes
five thousand dollars. ~
The Clarksburg Telegraph thinks it is
already settled in the minds of the peo'
pie of West Virginia, that General T. NJ
Harris is to he the next Governor of the
State.

Strange. but True.

We at last have the pleasure OF an
nounciug good thing from Secretary
WELLEs. Those of our readers VINO nave
imagined the functionary supposed to
preside over the Navy Department to
to be asleep all the time, will be glad 10
learn that he was wide awake few days
ago and learned that ANDREW JOHNSON
is now President of the United States,
and that his administration differs some
what from that of his predecessor. Dur
ing the past four years it has been custo-
mary for the superiutendents of the vari'
Gus navy yards to collect from the work.
men employed in the yard a sum OF
money for electioneering purposes, for
the benefit of the Republican.par As
sessments were made upon the employees
generally to the amount of days wages,
but sometimes more, and if the labOrer
grumbled about or refused to pay his as
sessment, he was promptly voted "a cop.
perhead" and discharged. Last fall about
sixty thousand dollars WAS collected for
political purposes from the Brooklyn
navy yard alone, The Republican man
ayers in New York were calculating upon
the receipt of similar sum this tall, to
aid them in electing the loyal" ticket
but were completely astounded one day
last week by receiving from the Navy
Department a peremptory order forbid
ding any assessments upon or collections
from the wOrkmen in the Navy Yard, fol
political purposes The order threatens
with dismissal any superintendent who
may permit OF make such collections.
ANDREW JOHNSON must have had O
good deal of trouble in arousing the ven,
cradle Secretary sufficiently to do this
act.
