4 pleasant WAY Of Putin. Thing,

4 Pleasant Way Of Putting Things.
The conclusion Of Gen. Meredith 5
address to Mr.. Johnson, at the Bates
House, to the effect that thc people
We're waiting anXiously to hear him,
was ease of most reckless assertion,
and if the President was not too con
fused or angry TO think at all, it must
have been looked upon by him rs a
piece Of impairment pleasantly. Mr..
Seward, however, seems 10 have adj
mired this style of calling attention to
unpleasant truths, and he adopted it
at Louisville The people Of Ken
tucky have just defeated Gen. Hobs0n
for State office because he was a Tn
len soldier, by majority Of about
40,e00 votes. His competitor was so
rampant n rebel that Gen. Bth-bridce
had 10 send him TO the Dry TOrtugas
two rears since, and it is evident 10
every body that he was voted for by
the rebels, and elected because he was
one of them. Knowing these facts,
the polished Secretary of State ad-
dressed the crowd at Louisville as fol-
lows:
"He had found that, while in the
Northern States there were great diff
fcrenccs on the subject of the restora-
ton of the Union, in the State Of Ken
tucl1y, and ne might, with propriety,
say in all the Southern States, there
was an entire unanimity Of opinion in
favor of the Union OF these States"
Having stated his fact he proceeded
to theorizc somewhat as follows: That
the principle or policy for which the
South fought was of fifty years growth
and therefore very firmly set in the
minds of the people. To carry ont
that policy they had gone into the
war; but being whipped they saw al
once that the policy for which they
fought was wrong, and now they are
evidently the best satisfied with the
results of the war. We suppose, then
if the rebels had gained the victory
theirpolicy would have been right, tho
doctrine OF secession would hav,
been sound, and Mr.. Seward and the
North would have been the best salts
fled with the result.
This is very much as IL Gen. Mere
dith had adyed paragraph to hi;
speech accounting for the desire of tn,
people to hear Mr. Johnson by refer
ring to his Cleveland, Chicago, and st
Louis speeches as models of eloquenc'
and dignity.-Iadiand Gusette.

The larger portion or the crowd had
left. Int a considerable number were
still lingering there. About twenty
minutes after his arrival, without any
premonitorv warnings OF a disturb
ance, he heard two shots fired in quick
succession n few yards from where he
stocd. He rushed to the place from
which the report came and saw Mr..
Stewart fall, and found Stretcher, who
shot him, in the hands of some other
police officers. Before reaching that
place he heard third shot, which was
probably fired by one Sam. Scribner,
loafer and blackleg Of the COpperhead
persuasion. This shot Lit and slightly
wounded benjamin House, adischarg-
ed Union soldier, who was standing
near bv. Seribner had leveled his pis-
toll to fire again, when he was seized
and disarmed by some of the police
force. Mr.. Stewart had attended Alf
Burnett's entertainment at Masonic
Hall, and had left there in company
with his son but few minutes before
he was killed. He was quiet, peace
able old man, had disturbed nobody
nor given any provocation whatever for
violence. The only persons seriously
hurt at the first firing, so far as we
know, were Mr.. Rocker, Of Hamilton
county, who was quiet spectator, and
Trucksess. That more tragici results
did not follow, from the number OF
shots fired, is wonder.
As the case of Stretcher is To under
90 judicial investigation we make no
further comments upon his conduct
! than simply estate how Stewart came
/ to his death.
That the bloodshed Of that evening
was caused by the rash and outrageous
conduit of O'Leary and Vandegrift, two
pot house Coppcrhead politicians, is
unquestionablc, and if they had re-
ceived the bullets which wounded and
killed their innocent victims, there
would have been less cause for regret.
These are the facts "a we have gath
cred them, after careful inquiry, of the
murderous onslaught by Copperhead
bullies upon a large body of men,
women and children, who were law
fully assembled in one of the streets OF
the city, and which is denominatcd by
the Copperhead press as Radical riot.
The original offenders fled from the
ground after the fight commenced, and
in that they exhibited more prudence
than they.did in originating the conflict
Short shrift would have been given
them ifthey had remained long enough
to receive the punishment they dc
served. Ind. Journal.

to blister the tongue ofa Copper

crowd OF New York Copperheads.
And it IS true that every President

died an untimely death. Andrew
Johnson understood that, and took

joining the party that assassinated
Abraham Lincoln. A few months
before that illustriOus ruler was

The Copperhead Riot.
FRO DE CoNTINED.]

We have gathered from Officers of
the police force and citizens OF the first
rcspcctability, some incidents of the
Comprehend riot of last Monday night,
which resulted in the Won lding of
some Of the spectators of the recep-
ton ceremonies, and the murder OF
Mr.. Steward, who had given no cause
of ofiensc to any person or party. Al
ter the windows OF the Bates House
had been closed and the blinds drawn,
O'Lcary, one Of the marshals, mounts
ed on horseback, rode back and forth
through the dense crowd, 10 the mani
fest danger Of every person with whom
his horse came in contact; but hndlng
that that course was not sufficiently
effective to dispcrse the thousands as
scmblcd in the street, he cried out to
his bullics who had marched in the
procession, "comc on, boys, we Will
have n free fight or foot race" He,
orsCmc Of his accomplices, exclaimed
about the same time, "clean out the
- Radicals" Another voice was
heard in the crowd, "we lave sixty
pistols"
/ Nlndegrift, who headed the Fifth
! Ward Democratic Club, was heard TO
give the order: 'Driyc these - Abo-
liticn bulies out of the way" and
started with his followers in procession
through the mass of people who were
so dcnsely packed that it WAS almost
impossible for them to move. These
acts and threats occurred almost sim.
