WILKES Spirit of the Times insists
that Andrew johnson, on the 4th Of
March, instead of being intoxicated, was
poisoned. May not this be true? The
cup of poison was tried on Abraham Lin
coln.-BIGde.
Would it not be better for Republican
papers and stumpers to honestly admit
the facts in this case than to be constant
ly originating falsehoods to excuse Mr..
johnson? Only a few days ago, Rev.
Col. Moody, in speech at Columbus,
said Mr.. johnson denied having been
drunk at the time of his Inauguration,
but said he was very weak from sickness
and took a little stimulus before present
ing himself to be sworn into office. Since
it is we'll known that he is an habitual
drinker-that he was not in a condition
to appear before the public from the
time he left Nashville to the day of his
Inauguration would it not be as we'll to
say nothing about the matter, unless it
might be to express the hope that he
would reform? Democratic papers, out
of respect for the position which he fills,
have said nothing about this national
disgrace since Mr.. Johnson's elevation
to the Presidency, and there is no neces
sity for either editors or stumping
preachers to manufacture and retail lies
about it.-7oledo Record.

The Executions at Indianapolis.

Messrs. BowtEs, NLEGAN & HoRsET, sen
fenced to death by Military Commission,
which sat at Indianapolis during last summer
ard fall upon a charge of conspiracy against
the Government, have it is reported, receiv-
ed notice to prepare themselves for execu-
ton. Whether they are to be hanged or
shot, is not yet understood; but their death,
by one mode or the other, is, probably. ire
vocably determined upon by the President
of the United States. We 90 not suppose
that aught which we could offer would have
any effect, either way, upon the fate of these
unfortunate gentlemen. Whether they are
guilty or innocent of fragrant crime against
the political state, who do not know, and
have no means OF information. In the eve of
the law. thsy have never been tried. They
have been before no Court known to our svs-
TEN Of Government; and have, in legal man
mer and form, been charged with no offense
defined by the laws OF the land. There has
been no time, since their arrest, nor before,
when they might not have been brought be-
fore a constitutional tribunal and fairly tried
with every desirable guaranty of impartiality
in the sesult.
There was the form-if we do not make a
fragrant misuse of terms in calling it even the
form Of trisl. The parties were brought
before that which called itself q Court, and
which received the title of evi-
denCe was offered against them. Upon the
nature of that evidence we have commented
before, and have nothing to repeat or to re-

g STUHPY BROWN"
JUSTICE SLOW BUT sURE.


ABOUT forty years since there lived in
the town of Woodbridge, in Suffolk, a
short, sharp-featured, wiry little man.
who apparently had no occupation, but
professed to be farm-laborer, and real
" got his living principally by poaching.
His proper name was Richard Brown, but
the townsfolk of Woodbridge, from some
fancy or other, probably on account Of
his short stature, had changed the Rich
ard into Stumpy, and by that name he
was always known. Every one was afraid
of Stumpy Brown; he lived in the out
skirts of the town on the MartlesOme
road, and rarely troubled himself to con-
verse much with his neighbors. When
he did it was generally to dispose of a
hare, or game of some description, which
he nearly always had in stock. His dress,
in addition to the knee breeches, Of the
period and the usually bright-colored
vest, was long brown coat ofvery shah
by appearance, and loose felt hat, which
he wore over his forehead, whilst his cold,
4 grey eyes glanced Indignantly from un-
der its Brim, No one could say any
harm ef Brown, beyond that he was a
surly, ill-conditioned sort of fellow, who
Stunned his neighbors, and was a known
poacher, but yet there we're suspicious
and rumors abroad about him, which if
true, would have brought him to the gal
lows. Some few years before the time
of which I speak, three murders had oc-
Cured at various intervals in the neigh
borhood Of Woodbridge, which, cOnsid-
ering the nature and size of the town,
was very startling circumstance. OF
none of these was the perpetrator known.
An officer of a regiment quartered IN
1 Woodbridge, had been drinking in the
Red Lion public-house on the Martle-
some road; he had been seen and rocog-
nized here; on the following morning he
was found in a ditch near by, his throat
cut and his pockets empty. The captain
of a Norwegian trading vessel, then lying
in the port, after he had been missing
for ten days, was found in putrescent
condition at the bottom Of the river, tied
up in a sack, without the least clue as to
where or by whom be had been murder
ed. Lastly a farmer of the name of
Aighton, whose property was in the
neighborhood, was known to have gone
into Woodbridge on the market-day; he
did not return home in the evening, but
on the following morning his body was
found in a barn, by the side of the road
hebind the town, which it was necessary
for him to traverse on his way back. His
head he'd been battered in, apparently by
some blunt instruments, and his pockets
riaed. More attention appears to have
been excited by this murder than in the
two former cases. The officer and the
captain we're strangers in the town, and
with regard to the Norwegian 8kippcI 8

AeRAND OLD POEM.

Who shall judge a man from manners?
Who shall lznowIhlm By his dress?
Paupers may be ft for princes,
Prices fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beelothe the golden ore
ofthe deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar,
Ever swelling out Of stone;
There arc purple buds and golden,
Hidden crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones, the highest,
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
Oft Eorgets his fellows then,
Masters, rulers, lords, remember
That your meanest kinds arc men,
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine,
In a mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills,
There are feeble inch-high saplings
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For, to Him, all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone arc builders
Ofa nations wealth or fame;
Tilted laziness is pensioned,
Fed and flttened on the same;
By the sweat of others fOreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Yainly lifted up its voice.
Trulh-and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is 4 sunny right;
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.

Andrew johnson, the new President Of
the United States, voted for the Critten-
den Compromise in 1861, as a satisfactory
adjustment of the difficulty between the
North and the South. The Republican
Radicals were opposed to this or any
other compromise, and in the language
of Senator Chandler, of Michigan,
thought the Union would not be worth a
rush without some blood-letting.
