1HE hHin nEMnrRACY.

Referring to the Ohio Democracy and
its platform. the New York Evening Post
makes the following happy hit:
NThese people remind us OF epatlent-
" dull p~ertinacity with which q mud-tur-
tie. teased BY a parcel of school-boys, trles
to get back to its hole. The stupid am,
mai. blinded BY the light of day, ehoked
by the free fresh air, wretched and u OF
place, seeks only to get back tots dark
hole. and turns all its efforts to that END.
Providence has given 1t a she'll, so that
blows do not much hurt it and IN the
last resort the poor creature shuts IT'S eyes
and mills in its head. and thus denied the
darkness it prefers. envelopes itself IN
artificial gloom. These m~ud-turtle poll
ticians call themselves democratic Just
as some silly turtle might get I~nserlped
upon its back, sSky=lark- But that would
only provoke laughter and rldlcule from
the boys"
Johnson's Island was cleared of pris-

"Agate." the Washington c~orrespon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, describes
the last ditch, of which the rebels have
SO Justify boosted, as the Attorney Gen

ing by the thousand, begging pardon of a
mud-sill.
Information received at the State De-
partment, says that the cholera had bro
ken out in Smyrna, and that the deaths at
C~onstantinople had increased to 1000 per
day. The pestilenee was making rapid
strides westward.
The Urbana Citizen says that a census
Of that town has just been taken, by
which it appears that the total popula-
ton is 1904, of which number 396 are
col red. In 1860 the population was
3,400. The increase is therefore i664, or
about 10 IL per cent. The valuation of
ofChampaign county is S., ,576; an in
crease of $734,934 over last year.
The New Haven Comm Palladium,
which for thirty years has used steam as

SPEECH OF Hon. J. R. HuBBELL.-
We commend to the attention of our
readers, and those especially who had
not the pleasure of hearing it, the speech
of our Representative in Congress, Hon.
J. r. HUBBELL, delivered at the Union
meeting recently held in this place. II
is a well-conceived, admirably arranged
and timely production, and viii be perused
with interest. The justice and propriety
ofhis arrangement of the Southern lead
ers of the Democratic party as the au-
thors and promoters of the rebellion, can
not be questioned; and the charge ofcom-
plieity with treason on the part of the
Northern leaders ofthe party, is also fair
ly made and clearly established. The
speech will be found on the first page.

Some very interesting developments
were made in the WIRZ trial on the 2lst.
One of WIRz's chosen witnesses was
identified by a Government witness as the
wretch who kicked a Union prisoner to
death. The detected criminal Yas ar
rested. 1t seems that WIRz's appeal
for aid has brought him only about $500,
so that several Of his witnesses, not being
able to meet the expense of staying in
Washington, have left the city. 1t also
appeared in evidence that HOWELL COBB
once made a ferocious speech to the rebel
soldiers at Andersonvil1e, in which he
encouraged the hanging of prisoners, ex-
pressed opposition to any prisoners be-
ing taken, pulled WIRZ as an excellent
commander, and said he would hang
President LINCOLN ifhe could catch him.
A Southern witness, a resident of the
neighborhood of Andersonville, described
the condition of the stockade as frightful,
and said the stencil was so great that it
was perceptible two miles of. The tes-
timony to the brutality of General WIN
DER wa very clear and important. show
ing his utter heartlessness, and that if
his words were to be taken literally, he
fully premeditated the death of the pris-
oners by maltreatment.

A CHANGE OF BAsE-The Democra-
cy Of thI dIstFIct have made a change in
their candidate for Senator-GEoRGE e.
SMYTHE Esq, of Newark. being substi-
tuted for DIR. e. Hyett of this place, who
from considerations entirely personal to
himself deemed it advisable to withdraw
from the canvass. We know Mr.. Smythe
very well. and can bear testimony to his
being a gentleman of responsibility. He
was formerly an ultra pro-slavery Wing,
and Of late years has been an equally Ill
ira pro-slayery Democrat. He was a mem
Der Of the House of Representative from
Licking county in 1923, and particular
Iy distinguished himself by his earnest
and persistent opposition to bestowiug
the right of suffrage upon soldiers absent
from the State fighting the battles of the
country fact that should be borne in
mind by the soldiers and their friends in
depositing their ballots on the second
Tuesday of October, when the choice will
have to be made between a gallantsnldier
who nObly performed his duty in the
field, and this gentleman who made every
possible effort to d~isfranchise those who
thus showed their devotion to the eoun-
try. ~

The evidence on file at the Bureau of
Military Justice against the gang of rebel
incendiaries who, during the war, COM
bined amusement with business by burn
ing steamboats, and warehouses in the
Observation-Disclosures -ub0ut thiTTy-fve
persons, about one-half of whom have
been apprehended and are now in prison
undergoing trial. JEFF Davis heads the
ineendiary list as grand director of OPP
eratiDns. Benjamin acted as cashier of
the organizations SeddOn as arbiter of
the validity of the claims for property de-
stroyed, while Judge Tucker, of Mobile,
was chief of the boat burners, who re-
ported to him for orders. The chief of
the land incendiaries was Richard Bar
rett, member of Congress from Missouri,
who superintendent the destruction of a
warehouse belonging to the United States.
Among the gang was a man named Stem
son who held an important Office in the
organization; Rewhon, of Toronto, Cam
ada, who operated on the Northern lakes;
Slaughter, of Illinois; Edward Feazer, of
st. Louis; John p. Parks, of Memphis,
and Isaac Aleshire and VIM. Murphy, of
New Orleans. During the wal over 200
steamers fall kinds, valued at from $780,
900 each, were destroyed by this ehival-
rous band, involving not only an immense
peeuniary loss to the Government, but a
sacrifice of hundreds of valuable lives.
Col. VIM. Thrope, formerly Chief of the
Secret Service in the Department of Mis-
souri,, merits the credit of the ferreting
out of most of the gang, and of obtaining
specific and definite information in re-
gard to its operations. The trial is now
in progress at st. Louis before a military
commission, with Col. Mckee Dunn,
Assistant Judge Advocate General, as
counsel for the Government, and Col. j..
w. Bell, Of st. Louis, chief council for
the defense, assisted by several other en-
inent lawyers.

wlRr1 AssAILEn RY AM nHIn MArRnn.

Yesterday as Wirtz was on his way
from the Courtroom to the Old Capitol,
a respectfully dressed lady. between fifty
and sixty years old, who had been wait
ing for the opportunity, asked the guard
if that was the Andersonville butcher.
On receiving an affirmative answer, she,
in a frenzy of passion. endeavored to
strike him with an umbrella, saying: You
wretch you butcher, you murdered my
son at Andersonville |" Failing to reach
him, she seized. and implored the guard
to let her get at him. She was with some
difficulty restrained, and the prisoner
conveyed to his quarters. It seems that
the old lady was an Ohio woman, who
had cone on here to get back pay for her
sons, all of whom had belonged to the
army. One was killed in battle, one muir
dered at Andersonville, another rendered
hopelessly insane by his sufferings in the
same slaughter pen, and one only returned
to her home at the close of the war

GEN. WARN Frs REcoRD.-We copy
from the Neoark American the sub
Joined highly fattering testimonials
from his superior officers and the
Secretary of War, as to the military
career of Gen. WARNER, Union candi-
date for Senator in this district Such
testimony, from such sources, speaks for
itself and needs no comments to give it
force and validity. The American calls
on Delaware friends" for the "warIike
record ofhis opponent; but as the per-
son who, occupied that position at the
time.the article was written has retired
from the field, it is unnecessary to res
pond to the call. It is the present oppo-
nent of Gen. Warner with whom the
voters of the district have to do. His
"Warlike record" is to be found in the
journals of the Ohio Legislature, and con-
sists of determined and persistent efforts
to d~isfranchise such men as Gen. War
ner and his gallantassociates in arms, who
at the time those efforts were being made
were carrying the banner of their coun-
try in triumph through the heart of reb-
eldom and vanquishing the foes of the
Republic on many a sang inary field
GEAL. WARMERS MILITARY RECORD.
We give evidence of Gen. Warmers
standing in the army, and call for the
record of his opponent.
Major General Osterhaus, in his official
report of the battle of Lookou Mountain,
Mission Ridge and Ringgold, speaks of
Major Warner, the very able comman-
der of the 10Th Ohio"
Gen. Sherman, in his official report of
the Atlanta Campaign, says Lieut.. Col.
Warner, an officer of singular intelligence
and zeal, has been of great service in ham
ding these three great armies"
In his official order published to the
army relieving Lieut.. Col. Warner from
duty on his staff because of his appoint
ment as Colonel of the 180th Ohio, Gen.
Sherman said 1,
"The General Commanding thanks
Col. Warner for his most jealous and in
telligent services during the past cam
paign. Compliments him on his good
sense in performing service with troops
on staff duty, and predicts for him the
highest success in his profession"
In an official communication to Gen.
Halleck after Col. Warner had left his
staff, Gen. Sherman said
II esteem Col. Warner very highly.
/ know him to be a most thorough officer,
and have every faith In his honor, cour-
age and good sense"
Gen. Warmers appointment as Brevet
Brigadier General, reads thus
You are hereby informed that the
of the United States has ap-l
you, for gallant and meritorious
services in the Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina Campaign, a Brigadier
General of Volunteers by Brevet, to rank

OUR SENATORIAL DIsTRICT.-We wish
to impress upon the minds of the Union
men of Delaware county the absolute
necessity of getting out a full cote in order
to render certain the election of our Sen
ator. The Democracy hope to carry the
Senate, and ours is one of the districts
they confidently expect to gain. This
zoe mast not permit them to do-and they
can aotdo II fire are true to ourselves and
the cause. The majority for Lincoln in
the district last fall was only 44S-too
small entirely to rely upon without spe-
cial effort. Licking is proverbially an
uncertain county-we think she will Dc
well this fall-but to render the matter
certain beyond ~peradventure the Union
voters of Delaware must act as though
the result rested upon themselves alone.
Let US see to it that there is no falling
off in our usual majority. The stigma of
losing a Senator in so important a con-
test must not rest on the 18th district.
