why Gensral Cox should Not

General Cox should not be elected, because
he is 10 favor of taxing labor, aud allowing
capital to go untaIed.
He should not be elected, because he 10
favor Of taxing the manned and crippled
soldier, and Of mskiug him labor to pay the
taxes Of the bondholder.
General Cox should rot be elected, because
he is in favor Of taxing the widow and the
orphan OF the soldier, while he maintains
that the rich man, who owns bonds but who
never fought for the flag, shall not be- taxed
General Cox should not bo elected, because
be is opposed to the restoration Of the Union,
for which our soldiers fought, and for which
one million Of our soldiers died
General Cox should not be elected, be.
cause be clings to the treasury, and TO bis
com mis- ssioH, after the war 10 over, and draws
his nineteen dollars day for no other duty
but making stump speeches, which shows
that he entered the army for the sake Of his
salary, and not for the sake Of our country.
General Cox should not be elected, because
he stays 10 the service after bis soldiers have
been discharged He draws nineteen dollars
a day, while they received but fourteen and
sixteen dollars per month.
General Cox should not be elected, bessusc
id the autumn of 1862, he was given the
command of thirty thousand men, organized
into three separate columns, to cut of the
retreat of the rebel Echos, who had only Eve
thousand. But instead of prosecuting the
war with vigor, Cox was displaying his stars
in Columbus and Cincinnati and while he
was receiving bis ovAtiona at the theater
Echols quietly, and undisturbed, carried
away from the Kanawha Valley, twelve hun
dred wagon loads Of salt For this want Of
military conduct, Cox was broke Of his rsnL

influence of Chase and Wade, that the sta

p,iDeiDls. of Honor Individualizsd

Principles Of Honor Individualized
In the good old days OF the Republic
there were established principles OF honor,
and all men were held to strict account
upon these principles. Not SO now z: et'
occasionally, we see an indiylduaI who is
foolish enough to observe and act upon
these old ideas. 4lilAin4Ht H.hA
r.sHonor, as it is now being introduced, by
a new code, is to be judged of by each in
diyidual from his own stand point, with
out reference to generally established prin-
ciples. .s-.. .e..
The cid and new ideas on this subject
are well represented in the persons of.two
individuals on the Republican ticket viz
Colonel j. G. Lowe and Warren Mum
ger, jr They both signed paper pledg-
ing themselves to support Judge Haynes,
in case he would consent to be candidate
tor reelection. The former repudlated
his pledge and sought and received par
tizan nomination for the same office him
self. Mr.. Munger feels and says that he
is bound in honor to support Judge
Haynes, and upon the same principle can
not support Mr.. Lowe, ..a-....ts..
Colonel Lowe. of course, looks from his
own individual standpoint, without ref
erence to what he considers the "dead
past" and upon his modern ideas Of hon
or, refuses to support Judge Haynes. de
claims it to be strictly in accordance with
the highest principles of individual honor
to advocate the election of himself. II
will thus be perceived that We are rapidly
approaching the development of new
ideas and new modes of action. a. .

why General Cox Will Not Bs
Elected.

General Cox will not be elected, because
in bis old command he will not receive fifty
votes--so say his soldiers
General Cox will not be elected, because
he is in favor Of placing the soldiers on level
with Negroes, aud the boys in blue are op-
posed to Cox and his negro scheme
General Cox will not be elected, because
he is in favor of levying tax of one hundred
and fifty dollars on every voter, 10 bay big
farm to give to the Negroes. %
General Cox will not be elected; becsuse
he treated our brave soldiers with contempt
by refusing 10 answer their letters, while be
did snswer Negro.
General Cox win not be elected, because
the laboring men will vote against him 10 q
body, beoSuse he is in favor of taxing lsbo
aud exempting capital.
General Cox will not be elected, because
the people, without regard to party belev,
that change is necessary to save our coun

Am Encident Attendant HpOn the
war.

Ia The Police Court yesterday morning,
was called one OF those peculiar cases OF
which the war has produced thousands of u
similar character all over the country. Upon
the affidavit of one Geo. w. Wheeler, O man
by the name Of Oliver Lowry Was arrested and
arraigned before that Court on an alleged
chargeof threateningto TO take the lie OF Wheel
err 1t seems that When the war commenced
Lowry volunteered in one OF the regimeDta
raised here, fought vslliently; served his
country to the satisfaction of his officers, and
when the war ended, came home. And now
comes the rub He did not find his home ss
be left it.
1t appears that in his absence, George W.
Wheeler became enamored OF Mrs. Lowry,
and by the aid OF others induced her 10 be-
heye that her husband was dead--had bseA
killed in battle, and when she had really bes
come convinced that the tale was fact, she
yielded her consent to become the wife OF Mr..
Wheeler, To fully legalizs the marriage, as
is alleged, Wheeler made his appearance be
fore the Probate Judge, and made declara
ton under oath that Mrs Lowry had no living
husband, whereupon he was granted q license
10 marry, and soon after entered into the
bonds OF wedloek with Mrs. l. This mar
ried life was OF but short duration, however,
for who should thrust himself between them
and happiness, month or six weeks ago, but
the Veritable Oliver Lowry himself, the origi.
nal husband Of the then Mrs. Wheeler. His
astonishment At the transformation of his
wife may be imagined, but as the thing had
bees done and she was now the wife of two
husbands, he generously told her 10 make
choice between them Let 1t suffice that ahe
hesitated not, but Immediately threM herself
into the arms OF her fret husband, exclain.
ing, IN the language of Ruth: "Thy home
shall be my home, whittier thou goeSt rhithsr
will 60 pH
The result was very displessing to Wheeler,
who, much to the annoyance Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowry would intrude upon their household
until finally Mr. l. told him he had better
stay away, or he might regret it On this hint
or something like it, Wheeler made the atfidA-
Wit and swors out the warrant which caused
Lowry arrest As we have stated, the case
was called up and Lowry was honoraby dis
charged - Gin. Enquirer.

USE OF ICE

In health no one ought TO drink ice water,
for II has occasioned fatal inAam alton of the
stomach aud bowels, and sometimes sudden
death. The temptation TO drink 1t Is very
strong II summer take but a single swallow
at time, take the glass from the lips for half
a minute, and then take another swallow, and
so on. Ii will be found that in this way it
becomes disagreeable after few mouthiuls.
On the other hand ice itself may be taken as
freely as possible. not only without injury,
but with the most advantage in dangerous
forms Of disease. II broken into the size Of
pea or bean, and swallowed as freely as is
practicable. without much chewing or crush
ing between the teeth. 1t will often be effic-
ent in checking various kinds Of diarrhea,
and has cured violent cases Of Asiatic cholera
A kind Of cushion Of powdered ice, kept to
the entire scalp. has allayed violent inHamma-
ton Of the brain, and arrested fearful convul-
sions induced by too much blood there.
In Group, water, as cold as ice can make il,
applied freely to the throat, neck and chest,
with sponge or cloth, very often affords an
almost miraculous relief and II this be follow
ed by drinking cop'ously of the same ice-cold
element, the wetted parts wiped dry. and the
child be wrapped up well in the bedcolhes,
It falls into delightful and life-giving slum-
ber
All inAamstions, internal and external, are
probably reduced by the application Of ice or
ice-watef, because it is converted into steam,
and rapidly conveys away the extra heat, and
also diminishes the blood in the vessels Of
that part.
A piece Of iron laid on the wrist will often
arrest violent bleeding at the nose.
To drink any ice cold liquid at any meals,
retards digestion, chills the body, and has
been known to induce the most dangerous
internal congestions.
Refrgerators, constructed to have the ice
above, are as philosophical as they are health
ful, for the ice does no. come in contact with
the water, or other contents, yet keeps them
all nearly ice cold.
II ice is put in milk or on butter, and these
are not used at the time, they loose their
freshness and become sour and stale, for the
essential nature of both is changed. when

HISTORY OF THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION.

Mr.. +. b. Carpenter has recently given
some very interesting "reminiscences on this
subject. We take the following, derived
directly from President Lincoln himself,
relating to the cabinet meeting held in the
summer Of 1862. at which the Proclamation
was first discussed:
Various suggestions, said Mr.. Lincoln,
we're offered. Secretary Chase wished the
language stronger in reference to arming the
blacks. Mr.. Blair after he came in, deprecia
ted the policy, on the ground that it would
cost the administration the Fall election
Nothing, however, was offered that had not
fully anticipated and settled in my own mind,
until Secretary Seward spoke. Said he Mr..
President, approve of the proclamation, but
/ question the erpediency of its issue at hi,
iuncture. The depression Of the public mind,
consequent upon our repeated reverses is so
great, that fear the effect Of so important a
step. 1t may be viewed as tbs last measure
Of an exhausted govefnment--a cry for help
the government stretching forth its hands to
Ethiopia, instead of Ethiopia forth her hands
to the government His idea, said the
President, was that it would be considered
our last shrek, on the retreat (This was
his precise expression.) Now, continued
Mr. Seward, while approve the measure, |
suggest, Sir, that you postpone its issue. un-
til you can give it to the country supported
by military success, instead of issuing it, as
would be the case now, upon the greatest dis
asters Of the war Said Mr.. Lincoln The
wisdom Of the view of the Secretary Of State
struck me with very great force. 7 was an
aspect Of the case that, in all my thought up
on the subject, had entirely overlooked.-
The result was that ! put the draft Of the
proclamation aside, as you do your sketch
for a picture, waiting for a victory"
The following, also, is new and impressive {;
A" Mr.. Chase told me that, at the Cabinet
meeting Immediately after the battle Of An
tietam, and just prior to the issue of the Sep
TENDER proclamation, the President entered
upon the business before them by saying that
the time for the enunciation Of the emanoi-
patton policy could no longer be delayed
Public sentiment be thought, would sustain
it-many of his wsrmest friends and support
ers demanded it; and he had promised his God
that he would do Il The last part Of this
was uttered in low tone, and appeared to be
heard by no one but Secretary chase, who
was sitting near him. He asked the Presi
dent if he correctly understood him. Mr..
Lincoln replied | made soiemen uolo be-
fore God that, if Gen. l. ,pas driven back
from. Pennsylvania, I t0ould cro,pn the result By
the declaration Of freedom to the sldUes D."

Z" Malakoff." in a letter from Paris TO the
New York Times, well explains the unanimi-
ty Of the European press against the hanging
of JEFF. Davis, by saying that for long time
in Europe civil wars have been wars Of the
Outs against the lns, of families against ia
miles, of parties between which there are no
radical differences OF political doctrine, and
which have each about as much right as the
other to the scat of power. But he adds that
it is very certain that if the Prince Napoleon
should attempt TO set up rebellion at this
time, and should try to carry off one.hali OF
France for the erection of new empire, ne
would be treated with much more rigor, il
caught, than if his rebellion only had for OBJ.
ject the overthrow Of the Emperor, and his
own installation in the Emperor's place. The
difference is, indeed, so enormous, that it may
well include the question of life OF death to
the chief rebel.
The Attorney General has sustained the
action of the war department in it, decision
that when volunteer is honorsbly discharged
before the term Of enlistment expires, be-
cause of the conclusion of the war. he is only
entitled to SO much of he promised govern
ment bounty as has accrued at the time OF his
discharge.

PRESIDENT JoHNsoN.--The Washington
correspondent Of the Independent throws out
the following suggestions, which, no doubt,
are timely:
LET me warn impulsive Republicans
against hasty judgment Of the President in
this matter. He may prove to be as radical
as Mr.. Sumner himself before the summer
ends. 1t is wise to create a strong public
sentiment on this subject sentiment that
will support the President in taking bold
ground hereafter in support of universal sufF
rage at the South. But attacks upon him
before ne has had time to decide definitely
upon his policy, are not justifsbe. Person
ally, be favors negro suffrage. He has said
80 repeatedly of late. He is in doubt as to the
means to be used. Probably he has a little
Of the ola prejudice against the negro. Blu,
il be has, can we of the free States cast stones
at him. Republican Philadelphia is in a tenn
pest because black man attempts to ride in
the horse-cars. The black man ia still dis
liked at the North. Give Mr.. Jrhnson a lit
tie time to watch events. The Virginia cleo
ton was worth more to US than hundred
severe criticisms, for the President is deter
mined that slavery and disunion must die.
He begins to see that he cannot destroy them
without the aid the negro at the ballot box,
as we did not, and could not conquer the
armies of the rebellion without his help"
