WHEREAS, The Congress of the United

ment bonds, and exempt them from taxa
tion, thereby causing the heavy burden of
taxation to be borne by the agricultural,
mechanical and laboring classes of the citi-
zens of the United States; therefore,
Resolued, BY the General Assembly Of the
State of Ohio, That our Senators in Con-
gress be instructed and our Representatives
requested to use their influence to have the
law so amended that all Government bonds
pay their just proportion of Government
and State tax.

amble to each OF our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress.

The Charleston Negro Riot.

The plot which has just been discover
cd, in Charleston, Of Tho negro troops to
kill their white officers, take possession OF
the city and put the white people to
death, is one of startling significance. A
letter from Charleston to Southern man
in Washington, says
"Fortuna the plot was discovered,
and the colored troops we're removed and
a New York regiment brought in. gai
"To day, Sunday while all were at
church, was the time set. Ten OF, the
leaders are now in Jail, and four or five
have been shot The white troops are
exasperated beyond measure, and blood
will be shed yet if the feeling becomes
any stronger 4 auI H.L
This is one of the fruits of arming the
negroes in the South, but it will not bs
the last. 1t is evid,nt that we shall have
trouble with our "loyul black allies" be-
fore we have done with them. .,.-.

Is the Cholera Coming?

The following paragraph, from the
New York Tribune, says that as war is
abating its rava.es we are threatened with
its sister srource, pCsti'ence:
"AlI Europe has been alarmed by the
reported appearance of the Sibclian
plague at St Petersburg and its advance
toward the frontier Of Germany. A tel
cgram from St. Potersburs states that it
is committing fearful ravagcs, aud that
official returns as to the number Of vic
tins have altogether ceased. A semi'offi
cial organ Of the Russian Government
denies the. correctness Of these reports,
which, however, tho ucighboring aoun'
tries agree in accepting as true. The
Austrian Government has sent Medical
Commission TO st. Petersburg, Russia, to
be put in quarantine. The Commlsslon

Lincoln and Johnson.

Of
The New York papers are publishing
the last public addresses Of Lincoln and
Mr.. Johuson.- An extract from each of
these will give US not only a view of the
temper of the men, but possibly will fore
shadow the future. Said Mr.. Lincoln:
HWith malice towards none, with char
ity for all, with frmness in the right, as
God gives us to see the right, let us strive
on to finish the work we are in, to bind
up the nations wounds, TO care for him
who shall have borne the battle and for
his widow and orphans, to do all which
may achieve and cherish o just and last
ing peace among ourselves and with all
nations"
Said Mr.. johnson:
"Treoson is the highest crime known
in the catalogue of crimes and for him
that is guilty of it-for him that is will.
ing to lift his ippious hand against the
authority Of the naticn-I would say
death is too easy a punishment.
"My notion is that treason must be
made cdious, that traitors must be pun
ished and impoverished, their social pow
er broken, though they must be made to
feel the pen aItj of their crimes Hence
say this-the halter to intelligent, in.
huential traitors" F.
And thus Mr.. Lincoln passed away
bis last official utteranca to the nation
filled with a mercy that is childlike in its
quality and magnitude. And thus Mr.
johnson takes his place, with threats oi
vengeance still fresh upon his lips. The
one has departed "with malice towards
none and charity for all y the other has
come threatening death, punishment
hanging and impoverisbment in his train
The one is like the new revelation oi
Christ-mercy, G goodness and kindness
the other like the old revelation, in which
nations were extcrminated and the fierce
doctrines of an eye for an eye and tootl
for q tooth we're enforced to the utter
most.-HolmeS Co. Farmer.

Rebuke Them.

The Democracy lave many times re-
buked in fitting manner the lawlessness Of
the Administration, IN its treatment Of
certain members of the party imprisoned
in defiance of ju ticc and right. Their
glorious support of G. j. Vallandigham,
the "nobest Roman of them ALL" was
crediable to both their heads and hearts,
while that gentleman was still in exile,
for no crime but bold advocacy of "free
speech" they placed him in nomination
in that great Sovereignty, and gays him
the largest vote ever pollcd for Demo.
cratic candidate in that State. We have
noticed in our exchanges, of late, several
instances of Democratic fidelity to The
men who have suffered in their behalf.
TIE Democrats of Galena, elected Mr.
Sheehan Mayor by 237 majority. 1t is
stated that "Sheehan was ono Of the
first victims of military bastiles, and the
man whom he beat SO badly was mainly
instrumental in his arrest"
In a similar spirit the Democrats oI
Iowa took up Mahony, one of the illegal
ly arrested victims of the Washington
Cabinet, and elected him by triumphant
majority Sheriff Of Dubuque county.
The Democrats of Utica, New York
elected in the same way, Mr.. Jones, one
of the city Justices, in rebuke for his ar

in cheating the soldiers out Of their vote

A Rich Story.

A Park ersburg (West Virginia) paper
says that several members Of the Legisla
ture took the cars at Grafton late in the
evening on the 10th ult., for Wheeling,
and among the number was Mr.. G. Of
somewhat large proportions, physically,
and Mr.. D. Of proportionats undersize.--
These two, the stalwart Mr.. G. and the
smooth-faced little Mr.. D, took berth
together, it seems, in a sleeping car
The little man laid behind, and the good
natured, waggish Mr.. G. before. Mr..
D. was soon sleeping and snoring furious
ly. Mr.. G.. more restless under the Leg
islative burdens, soon arose, and was sit
ting by tho stove, when an elderly lady
came aboard and desired sleeping berth.
"All right, madam" said Mr.. G.. 1 took
berth with my son, and you may occu-
py my place in that berth where my lit
tie boy is now sleeping. Taking G. at
his word, the lady disrobed and laid down
with the boy. After quiet repose OF
some time the boy, Mr.. D., became rest
less for some cause and began to kick
around to the annoyance Of tho old lady,
So in paternal manner she pattcd the
boy on the back and said : "Lie still, son.
ny; pa said 1 might sleep with you."-
I'll III and d-n," said the Legislator,
"who are you? I'm no boy! I'm a
member of the West Virginia LegisIa'
turc |" 1t is said the old lady swooned,
and could not be brought to until D.
promised thut G. should be impeached
D. swears the thing shan't rest so. What
actions the Legislature will take to pro
tect its own dignity, ramains to be seen.
