B5FH The Senatorial Convention of the Stl
District which convened at Gallipolis on the
23d inst, we learn, nominated the HoE. Jo
seph Bradbury for Senator to be supported
at the approaching election: the gelrtlemanwho
received this mark of confidence from his fel
low citizens, we understand is possessed Of
fine abilities and is entirely reliable and sound
on the great questions which now do and arc
likely hereafter to agitatethc public mind; and
we further learn that he was the choice of large
plurality of the members of the convention,
including portion of the delegation from
this County, though Meigs County is by no
means deficient in men possessing the requi-
site talent to adorn the station, though, she
has been in matter of senatorial representa-
tion,-the honor rotating again and again
around the circle among the other counties
of the District to the exclusion of this Que,
which in point of patriotism and efficiency is
surpassed by no county in the District At
the present time VIC do not think it worth
while to discuss the why's and the wherefores
that this result has taken, place, leaving to
the people thereof the settlement Of such is
sues among themselves: This much how
g. .er we feel it both our duty ms it our incli-
nation to say EeAs that in consideration of
the perils which environ the Government
in closing up the late stupendous rebellion
the Importance Of the loyal people Of Ohio
having working majority in the State Sen
ate, which at the present time we look on as
somewhat perilous,-and that successor is
to be elected to the United States Senate in
the place of John Sherman by the incoming
Legislature, loyal people of this County,
as heretofore, are no doubt as much disposed
to labor for the success of the ticket which
has been concurred in, as though the nominee
was .one of our own honored citizens: in
which good work the editor Of the Telegraph
will not be found wanting in the discharge of
duties incumbent upon him in this connection,

The New York Evening Post thinks that
the rebel leaders, after Richmond has fall
en- and the South becomes too hot to hold
them, would lind the ulast ditch" about
which we have heard SO much, in the State
of New Jersey. The action of the legisls-
ture Of that State, during its present session,
has certainly given grounds for this oPin-
ion. The devotion Of that body to slavery
and rebellion is fully as ardent as that of
the rebel Congress, and its hatred to the
army of the Union as malignant as that of
any guerrilla throughout the South It
hiss recently voted down q proposition to
ratify the great AntiSlaYery Amendment
It followed up that step by rejecting a
bill to give the right of suffrage to the gal
liant soldiers of New Jersey in the field.
And now it has capped the climax of its
disbonor by its action on bill, introduced
few days since, to incorporate an associs-
tion for raising 8 monument to the soldiers
of a certain section of the State, who had
fallen while engaged "in the suppression of
the present unholy rebellion" No sooner
had this preamble been read than ''Dem-
ocrat" sprungto his feet and moved that
the word "unholyn be stricken out, and
the motion was carried by Demo-
cratic" majority. The same msjOrity also
voted down, one after another, PROPOSE
tions made by loyal members, to insert
Che words wicked and csuseless," "cause-
less,7 alone and finally the very mild term
GuDiasGifable." At last one of their own
number moved TO insert the word
q righteous" but not enough OF them were
sufficiently bold to declare their feelings
openly, and this amendment was also voted
down by the aid of the Union votes. But
as they had already declared that the rebel
lion was neither unholy, wicked, causeless
or uDjustifable it is but fair to presume
that fear of consequences alone prevented
them from declaring it righteous Out
upon such democracy as this. It is moi
the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson
it is the very essence and spirit of that
false Democracy of which Calhoun and
J eferson Davis are the chief apostles.

ReIigious ReHivaIs.

Rev. DR.. Dufisld, of Detroit, writes to
the Tribune of that city, that under the Ia
bors of the Rev. E. P Hammond, who has
been in Detroit for two weeks, a revival is
now prevailing there, corresponding in
sll its essential festures to that of 1881 and
1882, which we're years of the right hand
of the power of the Most High" At a
recent meeting five hundred persons rose
for prayers. Many soldiers are numbered
among the converts. The Sandusky Reg
lister also says that unusual religious inter
est prevails in that city and many CONVEX
sions have taken place.

"A Bit Of History.

The Philadelphia Press, in an article eu-
logistic of General Butler, says:
"When the events Of these turbulent
years are written in history, it will be said
of Butler that he broke the slave fetter with
the word contrsband.'"
tits nothing against General Butler to
say, as we do on the very best authority,
that the "contrsband" ides was not origi-
nal with him. 1t was advanced and ar
gued, and the term made use of, in letter
to the New York Tribune written from
Fortress Monroe some time before General
Butler reached there, and before the subject
engaged his attention. Subsequently the
question of the status and treatment of
refugee Regroes was the subject Of conver-
sstion on the rsmpsrts of Fortress Monroe,
when young lieutenant in the regular
army, since dead, made what we believe was
the very frst speech, lasting about half
minute, in favor of tho "contrsband" idea,
as it was afterwards adopted. The listen
ers were General Butler, Commodore Pen
dergsst, and one other.-Pitts6tirgh Com

The Execution OF Sue Mundy.

The Louisville Journal gives the follow
ing description of the execution of this
noted guerrilla, which took place on the
day following his trial and condemnation:
Captain George Swope, of the 9th Indi-
ana cavalry, and Provost Marshal, had
charge of the execution. The prisoner
was conducted to the gsllows in company
with the minister. Both knelt and offered
up prayer, after which Captain Swope
read the charges and specifications to the
prisoner. He seemed to pay little stten-
tion to this. His eyes were half closed,
and his lips continually in motion, evident
" offering up his last petition to God.
Lord have mercy upon my poor soul, ~
seemed, from the motion of his lips, TO be
his prayer. He was asked, if he had any
shing to say to, make it known. He d.
rectsd his remarks to his spiritual adviser,
in very low whisper, hardly audible:
"I am irregular Confederate soldier, and
served in the Confederate army four years.
I fought under General Buekner at Fort
Donelson, and belonged to General Nor
gan's command when he entered Kentucky.
l have assisted, and have taken many
prisoners, and have always treated them
kindly. I was wounded at Oynthisns, and
cut of from my command. I have been
in Kentucky ever since. could prove
that 1 am regular Confederate soldier,
and 1 hope in, and die for, the Confederate
cause"
A white cap was then placed over his
face, and at the word three the prop was
pulled from under the trap. The fall was
not more than three fest, and did not
break his neck; like the other victim, he
choked to death. We have seen great
many persons hung, but never before did
we witness such hard struggles and con-
vulsions. It was feared for time that he
would break the lashings. His suferings,
however, were of short duration. Thus
ended the career of the notorious Sue
Mundy.
He was left hanging some twenty min
utes before he was cut down. Immediate
ly crowd gathered around the body, some
trying to cut of button, others snstching
at the cord to secure piece as q mementO.
A rumor was started that his jscket con-
tanned a lot of greenbacks, carefully sewed
in the lining. Accordingly before he was
placed in the coffin, general search was
Instituted, but nothing was found.
1t describes his personal appearance as
follows:
Marcus Jerome Clark, alias Sue Mundy,
was nearly six feet high, straight and re-
markedly well built, and we think would
weigh about one hundred and sixty
pounds. His complexion was fair, with long
dark hair which touched his shoulders, and
beautifully shaped mouth, and, in short,
was a very handsome man. His whole de-
mesnor was firm and polite, and he bore
the air of man of culture and gentleman
ly refinement. He said he "would have
been tWenty-one years old next August,
and would die before his manhood, and yet
had been man to his country" he wore
black velvet-cap, black or dark-blue
Jacket, with one row Of Kentucky State
,uttons, pair of dark cashmere pants, and
= pair of old boots cut down in imitation
# pair of shoes.

A WORD 10 Rusiness Men.

A time of danger to all business men is
coming, sooner or later, with the reduction
of the currency to q specie basis, no matter
how gradual and easy that reduction msy
be. Let them, therefore, keep before them,
as their great object freedom from entan-
Cling engagements. The crash or collapse
must come; and the consequent shrinking
of every mans nominal capital is inevita-
ble. One of the greatest mysteries to those
who have congratulated themselves on
their accumulated fortunes, will be what
hssbecons Of theirsuppOsed wealth. They
have succeeded in the majority of their
speculstionsi they have met with no direct
losses; and yet they cannot lay their hands
upon the means they thought were SO in
disputsbly their own. The shrinking of
value after financial imitation leaves no
record of its expunging process, and is GER
tain to dissppOint the hopes even of the
cautious and prudent. Debts will not
shrink with the means of discharging them, /
and many q man who might have snug
capital from the wreck, if he were not thus
fettered, will come out of the trial with
nothing about him but the burden of OBJ
legation.
