There seems to be persistent deter
mination to misrepresent our Represen-
tative in Congress. The object of these
repeated assaults Is of course to iDjure
Mr.. ii. in the estimation of his eonstitu-
ents, and the n1otige that impels to them
is apparent. We are safe in saying that
all Mr.. FL. desires in regard to his official
record is justice aud fair dealing on the
part of those who assume to criticise it,
and tried by this test he has nothing to
fear from the closest scrutiny. But to
single him out from among his colleagues,
denounce him for delinqueneies of which
he is not guilty, and oensure him for what
in other members is not regarded as wor-
thy of notice or reproof, is ungenerous,
unjust, outrageous-and if we properly
estimate the sentiments of the people he
represents, is disapproved by them, and
when the time for action arrives they
will in the proper manner indicate their
disapprobation The last assault upon
Mr.. 81. Is contained In a communication
published in the Columbus journal Of
the 10th, which is predicated on a dis
patch In the Cincinnati Gazette In refer
ence to the agreement by the House to
the Senate amendments to the Freedmen S
Bureau bill, in which It is stated that
''BIr. Hubbell, with his usual i'll luck,
arrived about five minutes too late to
vote, which statement forms the text
for dissertation under the head of The
Modern Dodger, which like all preeed-
ing assaults, does Mr.. III. gross injustice
The charge that lie dodge" a vote on
agreeing to the Senate amendments to the
'bill is preposterous, as those amendments
were of am unimportant nature, designed
TO modify and make it more acceptable to
all parties, and Mr.. Hs-had not only vo-
ted for the bill when it passed the House,
but voted for the first bill and as will be
seen by the following extract from has
speech, delivered early in the session, he
distinctly advocates the policy intended
to be carried out by the bill referred to:
In that speech he said: ''In considering
/ the policy of the President it must be re-
/ membered that in all the rebel States civil
/ governments have been established and
/ the provisional governments have been
I withdrawn, except in the State of Texas.
"A large military establishment and the
Eresdmen's Bureau are still retained to
enforce obedience to the law as well as
protection to the freedmen. How long it
( may Bio necessary to continue military
/ garrisons and the Freedmen's Bureau in
| those States time, an essential element in
/ all reformations, can alone determine. As
soon as the Government can be relieved OF

The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee have appointed four prominent
members of the party to represent the
State at large in the Philadelphia Con-
vention, to be held on the 14th of August
This movement, and others that have been
made by the leaders, looks as though an
abandonment of their party name and or
ganization is seriously contemplated, to
be followed by the absorption of the mem
bers in a new organization. How they
will succeed in carrying out the pro-
gramme remains to be seen. There will
also be some curiosity to know how they
are to reconcile the contemplated aban-
donment of their party organization with
the following emphatic declaration oi

MISPLACED CoNFIDENCE.-Asw was seen
here recently, a large number Of sharpers
always accompany the circus in its trav-
els, to rope in" the country boys. The
Republican tells how one of them was
outdone by Kenton boy a few days
since. One of the proprietors of a Jew
elry stand undertook to get one Of the
quiet looking town boys to act as stool
pigeon for him. The arrangement was
made that the boy should go up to the
stand and try his luck, draw a good prize,
and quietly return it to the proprietor,
and thus induce others to invest In the
swindle. A crowd was gathered, the
cards were arranged, and prize consist
ing of a silver watch and five dollar
greenbaek was drawn. This was handed
over to the lucky boy and the bystanders
were urged to try their chances. No
sooner did he receive his prize than he
concluded that it was time for him to
leave; and instead Of returning his watch
to the swindler, he sit out satisfied
with his days work. Pursuit was made
by the victimizing victim, but it was of
no use. He reached home, and kept
shady till the show had left town

WHO Is j. N.?-Everybody knows J.
n, butfew know his history. Those who
know him best hesitate in what catalogue
to place him. The Cleveland Leader
gives the following personal sketch:
u n is Mr.. j N. Free, formerly of
about 40 years of age. tall and erect, with
a powerful frame He wears long hair,
has peircing eye, but all over is cast the
peculiar look and acting Of a mono-ma-
MAC.
Ten years ago Mr.. Free was a thriving
business man. He was considered man
of more than ordinary literary attain
ments, possessing a strong intellect aud
considerable talent. About the year 1855
he was doing business in California and
brooding over extensive losses, on sea and
land, that followed upon each other In
quick succession, he became demented.
Since that time, in an inOffensive way he
has wandered up and down the Union
and to and fro in it.
When the war broke out j. n imag-
ined that on him fell the whole pressure
of the misconceived struggle. He held
that the North and South were both
right and both q1rOng-right from their
own stand points, but wrong from each
others. This he denominated his the0rg,
and has ever since been trying to solve
its mystery and lift from it the veil that
the public might see. When no one comes
out to hear him at his appointed meetings
he is in the habit of applying to the Sher-
iff, and demanding that he shall be incar-
cerated and martyred if necessary, for the
truth.

The conflict In Europe continues, the
Prussians being uniformly victorious.
Three days hard fighting occurred on the
9th, 18th and 29th days of June, the city
of Gitschen having been carried by storm,
the Austrians losing largely in men and
war material On the Sd inst, another
terrible battle occurred, lasting twelve
hours, in which the Austrian army was
utterly routed with immense loss. After
these reverses the Austrians sued for
peace and asked for an armistice through
the medium of the French Emperor, to
whom Venitia has been ceded BY the En-
peror of Austria. The Prussians and Ital-
ians have refused toagree to the armistice
or to enter into negotiations looking to
peace, and at last accounts were vigorous
ly prosecuting hostilities and seriously
menaeing the Austrian capital Austria
was making gigantic efforts to meet the
impending shock, and will make a des-
perate resistance. The ceding of Veni-
tia to France has greatly complicated
affairs and threatens to draw that great
power into the conflict, in which event it
is hardly probable that England and Rus
sia will be able to maintain their present
position of neutrals. The war has al
ready assumed formidable dimensions,
and the prospects are it will greatly in
crease in magnitude before the struggle
ends.
The official call of the Central Com
mittee for the election of delegates to
the County, Congressional and Judicial
Conventions, IS published to-day-to
which the attention of Union voters is
called.

ascertain when expected TO get the ac-
ton Of the House upon it. You expressed
a hope that it might be at once accepted
by the House. / said to you that the
House was then about going into commit
tee on the Tariff bill and feared should
have 10 opportunity on that day, but
should act as soon as possibly could. 1
did report on the Sd of July, very soon af-
ter the Journal was read.
Truly, your friend,
T. d. ELLIOTT.
Hoping there will be no further occa-
sion to refer to these matters again, we
will in conclusion merely repeat, what
cannot be successfully refuted, that on
all essential or test questions Mr.. Fl.
has been present and voted and his votes
stand recorded with those of his Union
colleagues-he has been a faithful and
efficient member, discharging his duties
with fidelity and treating with kindness
and courtesy all who have had occasion
to call on him at the capital or commu-
nieate with him by letter on business
and if no more substantial charge than
that Of $ 'dodging" can be brought against
him, those engaged IN the work of detrac-
tion had better cease their efforts, for
it is one that cannot be substantiated by
any satisfactory proof.
