The Spring Trade--MlsclilcyOuS
EIi:ctS Of RadicaIism.


There is u very general opinion
abroad that the spring season will not
lie so prosperous one for trade as it
ought to be and ifall the indications
should prove true we will know ut
whose door to lay the responsibility.
The Radicals in Congress are keeping
the country in n very unsettled CON
dition fortheir own miserable purposes.
In AL Stages Of u semisreyolutionary
state Of things in every country com
mcrce receives Il severe check and we
cannot expect to escape results which
are inevitable all over the world.
There was good reason to expect
that before the spring season opened
the business OF the country wonldhaye
settled down into its old channels,
that The South would lave been re.
constructed, It's industry partially re
stored, and that Il consequent demand
for goods would be created that might
Justify the calculations ofmcrchant8 in
importing largely. But owing to the
action Of the radical faction in Con.
grcss these expectations are very likely
TO be defeated. Had no distinctions
been thrown in the way by the marplots
in their indicative opposition to the
Presidents policy the South would to-
day be in n position to open a trade
with New York and the Northern States
generally, which would have increased
tcnrold the trade Of this city. But in
the present state Of things, and in view
Of the proceedings in Congress, how
does the matter stand?
Industry in the South is paralyzod
Capitalists are discouraged The
sources Of wealth which might hay,
been developed are still dry. ON
merchants have imported very cXten

Carolina, stated the other day that That
State was in q fair way Of rcviying her
trade and industry, but while certain
measures were in consideration ia

Secretary BrownIns.s Letter.

We print this morning the able and con-
elusive letter OF Judge BROWNING, Secre-
tary Of the Interior, written to a commit
tee Of his friends at Quincy, Illinois, who
had invited him to visit that place and adj
dress a political meeting upon the great
questions that now excite and divide the
people of the United States. The Judge
excuses himself from attending the meet
ing, because his public duties forbid it;
and then proceeds to discuss the Constitu-
tional Amendment, in a dispassionate and
mastery manner. The spirit of the letter
is admirable; its logic Is inhexible; and its
arguments are unanswerable. The high
Republican source from which it comes, as
well as the character of the letter itself,
ought to commend it to the careful perusal
and respectful consideration of all the mem
berS of the Republican party, who are at
all capable of appreciating the gravity of
the subject which it discusses. Our DEM
ocratic readers will, of course, carefully
peruse it: they are accustomed to sound
political reading. It's understood that this
letter expresses the views of President
JOHNSON, as to the Constitutional Amend
ment of Congress, and that it has received
his unqualified Endorsement.

I'm "a Esad Fix

Yesterday afternoon, child some three
or four years old, that had strayed into the
State House yard, found itself imprisoned
in the inclosure, and did not know how to
find its way out. 1t wandered about for
some time, and finding no other mode OF
esress, at last concluded to try the expert
ment of crawling through the space be-
tween the iron palin2s or uprights in the
fence. 1t got it's head and arms through,
but could project its bodyno further. 1t
could neither move backward nor forward,
but was held fast as in vice. Its piteous
cries attracted large crowd Of persons.
Attempts were made to spring the uprights
to one side so as to release the imprisoned
child, but in vain. They could not be made
to give an iota. What was to be done,was the
great problem. 1t would not do to cut the
child's head off, as the fellow did the cats
to get it out of the pitcher. AT last, gen.
tleman, more ingenious than the rest by
skillfully turning the body, get one arm on
the inside of the force, and finally succeeded
in releasing the child entirely from its con-
finement. '--- ''A-''

Attempt TO Escape.

We learn from gentleman who lett
Newark on Saturday night, that the pris-
oners in the county Jail at that place, a
dozen or fifteen in number, attempted to
effect stampede that evening in the fol-
lowing manner: While the jailor was lock-
ing them up in their cells for the night,
they turned upon him, knocked him down
and beat him in such manner as to injure
him quite seriously, and render him insen-
sible. The police, however, hearing noise,
came to the rescue in time to quell the
emeute and prevent the escape of any of
the prisoners.

A Very silly Lie.

The Republican, in the hope of diverting
attention from the many frauds committed
by Delano's friends, tells an awful cock and
bull story, as follows:
g A few days before the election, gen.
tleman residing in GAINESVILLE came through
to Newark on the p. G. e. G. r. r. On the
train with him were near one hundred men
who live in Bingham's district. In CONVEX
sation with number of them, they boldly
declared that there being no possible chance
for the election of Estep, Democrat, in their
district, they were coming here to assist
Gen. Morgan by their votes" ieaI.J7
To show, in word, what very silly lie
this is, it is only necessary to say that the
Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cincinnati rail-
road don't 60 through GAINESVILLE; and. in
the second place, no gentleman named Es-
tep was candidate for Congress in Ohio.
These two essential portions of the RepubR-
cans story being lie on their face, the bal
anee falls to the ground of course.-M. Yer

Marietta, In this State--a seat of learn-

We are Justified in this language, by the
events that followed the late election in that

is largely Radical. The election, especially
for Congressman, had been conducted with

Is John wilkes Booth Alive?

[Chicago Correspondence Of the s. c. Examiner ]
Many persons are of the opinion that j.
Wilkes Booth still lives. Let me give your
readers piece of information that recently
came into my possession, and which has
never been printed. On the evening of
President Lincoln's assassination, young
lady In Washington who was playing at
Ford's Theater, was on her way from her
home to the Theater. AS she was walking
along the street at IA o'clock, she met
Wilkes Booth on the sidewalk. They had
been well acquainted for several years, and
were on intimate terms. They stood awhile
and chatted. The girl told Booth that she
had received an anonymous letter that day
that was quite amusing. Booth asked her
to let him take it, and he would hand it to
her at another time. She gave him the
letter and hurried on to the Theater. That
night she was horrified to learn that Wilkes
Booth had assassinated President Lincoln
in the very Theater where she was playing.
The poor girl was frightened out of her
wits for several days, fearing that some one
had seen her give Wilkes Booth the paper
so short time before the assassination
So time passed on, and the actress went to
her home in Philadelphia. About five
weeks since that young woman received
back again, through the postoffice, the very
letter she put into the hands OF Wilkes
Booth on the night of the assassination.
There is a private mark on it, too, that
makes her positive that Wilkes Booth sent
it. These are the facts, and the actress is
now playing at one of the Chicago Thea
ters. Tile story is strange one, to say the
least of it. .'|

Return Match Game at Base Ball.

A return match game at base ball was
played on Saturday afternoon last COM
mencing at half-past one o'clock, at Della
ware, between the Olentangy Base Ball
Club, of this city, and the X. L. c. R. Club,
of Delaware, ON the grounds of the Lenape
Club, at the latter place. The game of eight
innings lasted about three hours and a half,
or until about five o'clock. The result OF
the score was that the olentangies made 30
runs to % by the x. L. G. R.'s-the former
winning the game by 27 runs. The 0len-
tangies speak in the highest terms OF the
courtesy and hospitality OF the x. L. c.
RS, both before and after the close of the
match game.
