Under witch King, Ecxoniun7

We give q Scr1eS OF test questions,
which we find submitted to candidates
. in the Alabama newspapers. These
questions may or may not be of i'm
poItance to thepeop1e. But the ques-
tion, first, is whether there is 3 people
.oT not. We are told that the elections
are pronounced void. in Virginia, by
the military authorities, because mcn
who were old sccessionists have been
elected. How have they been elected?
Were they not rardoned-aid they
cot become loyal citizens by the oath
have they not been granted terms Of
citizenship, and what does citizenship
imply? Is not amnesty a wiping out
of old scores? If denied, the rights of
citizsnship, after taking the oath, Of
what import the oath and what does
citizenship mean, and what does it
confer OF privilege? And il the
military may superscdc the ballet box
what is suffrage? And if the rcs,mp-
ton Of civil authority is still subordi-
nate to the ii,Si dinn Of martial law,
Of what Use !, Provisional Governor?
And If the President Of the United
States confers {. power which the mill
talv authorities will not respect where
are the people to look for authority?
We ash these questions in q perfect
state Of bewildeImant. Let us know
who to obey. Let us know where the
authority lies. We are prepared to be
Submissive; be, really, in this conflict
OF authority, one knows uot where to
turn. We donottomplain. We only
ask to know. Oheying one authority
we may offend another. Where is the
authority? What is the law? eve
have the freedom of the ballot box
the Governor tells us. "Go and
>oie, ~.tys democracy. Well, We so
and vot,. VIZ vote tor Dick Saith.
Dick Smith is tine famous fellow that
swallowed the broad-aXe. Is Dick
Smith ineligible to Office? Not :, bit
Of it. lie was IL seccssionist, WAS
Dick. Poor Dick! He voted, once
upon a. time, for JEFF Davis, or Mr..
Tootc. Well. he rcpcrted OF his sin.
If you repent says the proclama-
ton, ''you are saved" Yo,f have put
yourself right in court. You can
come to the communion table as be-
fore. And SO Dick Votes or is voted
for, ''but, says Capt. Martinez, you
were pestilent secessionist some time
ago. and you shot at me with Il Min
nc bullet ut Getts sburg, or you voted
for Dick Smith who did the shooting.
Your vote is$au]l and void. The elec-
ton il null and void. Your repcn-
tance is not worth dash! Your oath
is q farce. You must do this election
business over again, and see hat you
vote according to your conscicnccs
for TIC person whom VIC please Let
us have all. this matter adjusted one
way OF another. Either Gov. Perry
has authority OF not, from the Presi-
dent OF the United States, for calling
upon the people to give their untram-
melted votes, according to the IDEAS Of
Repubicanism, or he has not. Gov.
Perry must see to it and save MS
harmless. He must duly ascertain for
us what our privileges are, and
whether VIC are to have the ballot or
not. If not, We do ,ict complain.
We are still submissive. We really
care not straw for the privilege, or
abo,.i the denial of it. We only de-
,irt, E y What is expected at Olll.

The climax of .DOhnsOm's Coarse
uesss.,ud VuIgarity.

The correspondent of The Cincinnati Com
naercisI, In referring to ANDREW JOHNSON s
Inauguration speech, says, that the ell
max" of JonNsoN's "coarseness and vul-
garity" consisted in his using the following
language:
81 say to you, Foreign Ministers, that
am a plebelan. that was tailor's boy"
Shoddy is becoming sensitive. 1t is
coarse and vulgar to refer to the fact that
they are plebeans, that some of them have
worked in their day at mechanical employ
ments, or, perchance, have ofliciated as host
lers. They now scorn the "mudsils,'
whom they affected to love with loves
fiery intensity at the late election. Among
other things, they represented Mr.. PENDLE-
TON as not sufficiently plebeian to be elect
ed to the Vice Presidency of the country,
and that Mr.. JOHNSON was just the man for
the position, by reason of being the child OF
the people. Now,.i is coarse and vulgar
to recognize the existence of the people as
a political power, forsooth.

Keep Up the Organization.

The Democratic party, says an exchange,
must keep up its organization. Twoparties
in time of peace were considered necessary
by the people for the protection oftheir own
interests. Now in time of War, when cor
ruption and fraud rule in every department
of our Government when the eyes of care
full watchmen should scrutinize every act
of the peoples agents. two parties are i'm
peratively demanded. The Democratic
party being now the minority party, should
watch the majority with unsleeping eyes.
The peoples veal, the interest of the tax
payers, the good of the country, demand
such conduct on its part. The organization
of the party must be kept up. United ac-
ton. combined influence andsystematic or
ganization achieve wonders. Let the DEM
ocratic party maintain-minority as it is
its old position as the guardian of the peo-
pies rights, the protector of their interests.
No defeat should disorganize us; no repulse
demoraize us; stand firm to the old flag OF
the constitutional Democracy. and all will
yet be well with us.-Cddiz Sentinel.

Remarks of NIr. ThOrnhiII in the
House of Representatives.

On the passage of the bill authorizing
county commissioners to allow compensa-
tion to attorneys for defending persons ac-
cused of Penitentiary offenses, Mr.. Thorn
hill maintained spicy discussion. In an
swer to the arguments of Mr.. BRAKEMAN, of
Hamilton, who argued that attorneys should
render these services without pay-Mr.
Thornhill desired to know, why the pro-
fession of the law should be singled out
from all other professions and compelled
to render services without pay? Why not
impose duties upon ministers of the gospel
upon physicians, upon Legislators, and COM
pei the gentleman from Hamilton to throw
open his wine cellar to the paupers of Gin
cinnati? Why give all other men pay for
labor performed and not to lawyers? 1t Is
tyrannical and unjust, and it is not the true
policy of the State to convict innocent per-
sons unheard and undefended. The bill
had been diyested of all its Objectionable
features (if it had any and confined to
Penitentidry and offenses punishable with
death, and, as an act OF justice and policy,
gentlemen of the House should all vote for
it.. The House had just passed bill Great
ing a new Office in the case of clerk of
the Supreme Court, and had voted large
increase of salary, when it was clearly
shown that the duties of that office had
been performed to the satisfaction of all as
provided for in the Constitution-why now
refuse to do justice to this particular class
Of men? .
He thought he knew where the shoe
pinched. The gentleman from Geauga (Mr.
Woodbury. perhaps was afraid that attor-
neys would get fees for defending criminals
under his skin-milk bill up in his county;
but he was happy to have it in his power to
inform the gentleman that he had framed
the bill with special reference to thatibill
and that it was not contemplated by this
bill to interfere, in the least, with his ope-
rations in skim-milk.
The gentleman from Geauga said some
thing about sour kraat, which was not dis.
tinctly heard by the reporter. The bill
| passed.

,T.rc,,.u,s, IIoteI. CIncinnnti.

The readers of The STATESMAN know that
we regard the Merchants Hotel as the best
in Cincinnati; and when they have occasion
to go to that city, they generally honor our
Judgment by making the Merchants their
stopping place. The Cincinnati Times in a
late issue thus notices this Hotel:
The new firm of Galleher, Nelson & Co.,
took possession of the Merchants last May,
at which time the house was thoroughly
renovated from top to bottom, at cost OF
over $4,000. The house is provided
throughout with all the modern improve
ments, and is conducted on the most ap-
proved plan offirst class houses. The house
Is deservedly popular and is constantly
crowded to its utmost capacity.

A ssLOyal"'Paper on the ''LOyaf'
Vice President.
from The Cincinnati Gazette, March o.

From The Cincinnati Oazette, Mhrcn V'I
THE INAUGURAL HUMILIATION.
Andrew johnson, the Vice President
elect, presented himself drunk at the great
Inauguration ceremony, in the presence OF
the assembled executive and Judicial de-
partmcnts of the Government, the repre-
sentatives of the people, the Senate over
which he is to preside, a large concourse OF
citizens from all parts of the country, and
of the foreign diplomatists' and visitors
Before that imposing concourse he below
ed for half an hour the idiotic babble of a
mind besotted by fortnight's debauch,-
He boasted himself as specimen of the
working of American institutions, which
brought such man as he 10 the second
place in the Government. He dragged its
proudest ceremony into the slough of his
degradation, and turned 1t to shame ana
modification.
This cannot be covered up as private
infirmity. 1t was exhibited before the
world. We have to discuss it as a public
calamity, and as national insult and DIS
grace which demands relief Mr. johnson
should at once resign the place he has SO
dishonored, and in which he can never have
the respect of any American citizen, and
should retire to private life, where his wal
lowing will befOul no one but himself. The
nation cannot suffer the dishonor that
man who was inaugurated drunk, who
lrivelled over the Holy Book rs he took
The oath of Office, and shamed the nation III
the eyes of the world, should sit to preside
over the Senate and represent the second
executive office. And it cannot afford to
keep open the risk OF such an alternative in
case of the death or disability of the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. johnson made similar exhibition of
himself here, and we then refrained from
commenting on it because we thought 1T
might be only lapse in the interval when
he was free from official duties; and
that if he were habitually Incorporate he
would retain decency enough to refrain
from disabling himself for public occasions.
Our forbearance was unfortunate, tor had
we then commented on his condition it
might have brought him to sense of it, or
have forced his Tennessee friends to see to
him, or at least it would have thrown the
people at Washington upon their guard,
and perhaps have diminished his opportu-
nifty for such humiliating exhibition.
We are not inclined to palliate these re-
marks by any reference to Mr.. Johnson's
previous services. He has exhibited to the
world his unfitness for his present position,
and he has dshonored the institutions of
his country. He should make the only rep
aration in his power

Stamp Connected with Settlement
of Estates.

By decision of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, the presentation of a will
tor probate, application Tor the appoint
ment of administrators and guardians, do
not require stamps. The probate of wills,
letters of administration, and bonds of exec
utors, administrators, guardians and trus-
tees, are subject to stamp duty, as is also the
appraisal or inventory of the estate, being
an appraisal of value. But all other pro-
certificates and afiidavits used in the settle
ment of the estate, are exempt.

which all the pain depends, and the patient is

Mr.. T. NJ. Adams, 3Oe Twelfth street. New York
suffered with Rheumatism for long period. He
was attended by able physicians, but their rescrr
tions were of no avail he was unable to move with

tirely confined to his bed. AT this period Of hi
sickness, when hope had fed, and he expected to

The first box evidently made him better; the i'm
provement was more decided from the second box,
and by the time he had used eighteen boxes. he was
entirely cured of Rheumatism, and the strength
and suppeness of his limbs were restored. II is
now over year that this cure has been eec led and

A "LOyap' Paper Abusing the Sol
diers.

The '1oyal' Cincinnati Times, in noticing
the 18th Regiment o. vi, which passed
through that city last Saturday, thus abuses
the gallant men who have gone to the front
in obedience to President L1NcoLN's last
CALL
We would like to inquire why it is that a
person takes to strong drink as soon as he
dons army blue. The opinion seems to
very generally obtain among soldiers, that
to be soldiers, they must exhibit a certain
amount of staggering brutality; must
drink, must utter fearful oaths, must in
dulge in obscene language. Why cannot
they be gentlemen as well as soldiers9

WE are glad to observe that some of our
exchanges, which soon after the election
proposed to strike their colors and go bodily
over to the party whose crimes and follies
they had deprecated, are now disposed to
repent their rashness.
The cant of sustaining the Administra-
tion; OF affirming that the whole policy OF
the Government was definitely settled by
Mr.. Lincoln's election, is about played out.

was ever selected for a deception, it is hard

In The LorGin County Ne,os, published at
Oberlin, of the 9Th inst, we find the follow
ing item, which shows plainly that there Is
no War enthusiasm in Oberlin:
.sRecruiting is not progressing as rapidly
as could be desired, and unless something is
done soon TO hasten it, the draft will have
TO come. Only seven have been mustered
in during the week, and sixteen more are
required to fill the quota"
1t is very strange that such a place as
Oberlin should be remiss in the matter Of
recruiting.
