CLOSE OF The THRILLING scESE.
The Cost Of Calling a Copper
head n Traitor.

Hon. Edward Keogh, of Milwaukee, is a
Copperhead and has been member of the
Wisconsin Legislature. Edward keogh 1.-THE
honorable has also been in the habit of writ
ing to the Chicago Times, the same in senti-
ment and similar in language to those which
Copperhead newspaper man of McGregor
used to write to the same payer in the days
when his master, JEFF, was not in petticoats
nor in prison. The Ailacamkie Wisconsidn
called him disloyal very often: in other words,
it frequently called him traitor. The Hon.
Mr.. keogh and Milwaukee correspondent OF
the Chicago Times sued the editor of the
Wisconsian far libel, laying his damages at a
very heavy sum. The jury estimated his char
acter for loyalty at twenty-five cents and
awarded that amount with twenty-five cents
costs That is just what it costs in Wisconsin
to call Copperhead a traitor.
Mr. Cramers counsel, Matt Carpenter,
gave notice of motion for new trial, on
the ground Of excessive damages. Matt be-
ing a war Democrat. can't be made to believe
by Milwaukee jury that Copperhead's po-
litical character is worth so large a sum as
twenty-five cents.

The COpperhead Press ON John
son.

The Copperhead press and the party gen.
orally were much disappointed and chagrined
because President JOHNSON confirmed the
sentence of the military court against the as
sassins, and ordered the execution to take
place without delay. They had been declar-
ing on all occasions that JOHNSON was DEM
ocrat and wouldn't tolerate STAsToN's mill
tary court, but would repudiate it utterly and
leave the accused to be dealt with by the civil
courts. But when JOHNSON came out in
prompt approval of the sentence and ordered
its speedy execution, and expressly suspended
the writ of habeas corpus, they were terribly
ncensed.
The New York Ne1cs didnt try to restrain
its rage, but proposed to organize an associa.
ton and raise fund to procure the convic-
ton of all parties engaged in the matter, In
cluding the President who ordered the exc
cution, of course, for murder, so soon as the
Democracy get into power again.
The Washington Constitutional Union feels
Just as venomous, but restrains its wrath
somewhat. That journal dare not trust itseli
with the expression of its feelings, but indi
Gates very clearly in the closing paragraph
At the White House Mr.. Brophy met Mrs. Doug
las wife Of Senator Douglas, who united her exer-
.ions with those of many other distinguished per-
sons who had come to ask even a short respite fol
q woman whom they believed to be innocent All
efforts proved fruitless, however. The President
Judge Holt, and Mr.. Seward, were inexorabIe
The woman must die, and not minute should
she hare beyond the time appointed. Our feel
ings are such that cannot now dwell further
upon this topic. The plain statement Of facts
speaks more forcibly than could any remarks
which might make.
And the Madison (Ill.) IHteHigencer which
hasn't sense enough to keep its feelings TO it
self blurts out its hatred of the good Demo
cratic President, whom Mason orders to sup
port. after this fashion:
He Who in an official capacity, unlawfully takes

thority of the land, is no less murderer than j
Wilkes Booth the assassin Of President Lincoln

clear eases Of murder. Atxerodt, the ASSASSIN ol

of the South than the traitor shareholders or
the peace sneak leaders Of the North in any
matter involving the love Of the Union and
popular government"
Then, anticipating the success of the Dem
ocracy in this movement and on this issue, he
recounts the forces under the cammand Of
the National Democratic Association and fe-
licitates them on the prospect of speedy sue
cess:
Combinations of circumstances seem to have
been providentially prepared to suit our purposes
The 100000 voters who constituted the elective
strength of the great conservative host at the last
election and which would even then have been
triumphant but for extraneous influences, are still
organized and ready to act Add to these the
numbers then estranged by causes now obsolete,
and there can be no doubt that on the issues now
presented tho majority will be overwhelmingly
with us.
But on these stupenduous issues we shall be
sure of the cordial sympathy and support of the
great body of the people of the South. Their al
most unanimous aid can be implicitly relied upon,
swelling our numbers to as great majority as de-
sirable.
And then in support of the views set forth
in this address, the chairman exhorts the
Democracy to put forth their utmost efforts,
land that every individual will endeavor to
make his influence felt through new organ
cations or otherwise"
Under these exhorations and commands of
the official chief of the Copperhead organiza.
tion, which run the party last year on
the ''war failure platform, the Copper
head leaders in Iowa commenced "agitating'
and a number of them, from different local.
ties, assembled at Davenport and after due
deliberation, the State Copperhead Commit.
tee which engineered the campaign in this
State last year, and of which LAUREL Sun.
MFRS is chairman, issued a call for "a State
Convention in pursuance of MAsoS's re-
script.
Now it is beyond our capacity to conceive
that any soldier or 'sany other man. except
a Copperhead can unite in this movement oil
deny that ii is an out and out unmitigated
Copperhead affair.

The Assassins to be Avenged.

The New York Meas is very furious against
the late terrible outrage at Washington result
ing in the punishment of the assassins. The
Ne,rs, Of course, regards that the consdirators
did great werk for JEFF. DAVIS and the
sCopperheads, and is indignant that they
should have fallen martyrs and victims to
their heroic devotion to the cause. The Nescs
is not disposed to waste its indignation in
words, but proposes to form an association
whose object shall be to bring to condign
punishment for murder, all who had any share
in the late trial, so soon as the reunited
Democracy shall be restored to power again
in the country. Here is the programme Of
the Nesos, and we presume the association
will include the avenging of JEFF. DAVIS also,
should he be brought to trial

Of iron; and the beauti6c rabbit, perforated
by red hot nail, looked AZ if nothing would
be more grateful than cool corner in some
Esquimaux farm-yard. The members Of the
delectated convocation were all huddled TO-
gether in the bottom of their cage, which
suddenly gave way, precipitating them out Of
view into the depths below, which by this
time we're all blazing ike the tabled Tophet.
CONTINUATION OF THE STRUGGLE.
Meanwhile the lion and the tiger were con-
tinuing their contest, now with the advantage
on one side, now on the other; and the boa
was slowly tightening his fatal coils round
the painting body Of the honess, which, how
ever, bit and struggled, lscerating the striped
skin of its adversary terribly. The floor was
already crimsoned with blood, while the com
mingling Kisses, howls, yells and rosrs utterly
surpassed all efforts at description.
THE WHALES AND AILIGAroRs IN TORMENT.
At this moment the flames rolled again into
the room, and then again retired The whale
dreadful torments. The water in which they
SWAN was literally boiling. The alligators
dashed fercely about, endeavoring to escape,
and opening and shutting their great jaws in
ferocious torture; but the poor whale, almost
blind, with great ulcers bursting from his
blubbery sides, could only feebly swim about,
though blowing excessively, andr every now
and then sending up great fountains of spray.
At length, crack went the glass sides Of the
great cases, and whale and alligators rolled
out on the floor, with the rushing and steam
ing water The whale died pretty easily,
having been pretty well used up as before.
A few great gasps and convulsive flap or
two Of his mighty fukes were his expiring
spasms.
One of the alligators was killed almost i'm
mediately BY falling across great fragment
Of shattered glass, which cut open his stomach
and let out the greater part of his entrails to
the light of day. The remaining alligator be-
came involved in controversy with an ana
conda. and joined the melee in the center Of
the blazing apartment.
CLOSE OF THE THRILLING scESE.
At this moment the floor, undermined by
fame, gave way with an awful crash, and the
living, struggling howling, withering mass
was launched into gulf Of red and yellow
FIRE, sending up whirlwind of smoke, sparks
and cinders to the very heavens.
The last object / saw was the polar bear
upon a white hot square of shset-iron, with
all the hair burned from his hide, and stand
ing stark and stiff. and rapidly baking
brown.
Before the whale went down with the rest,
a stream of spermaceti ran from his carcass
down the sides of the building, taking fire
and making impromptu candies on colossal
