The Ohio Legislature and MIR.
2nsa nAm

With an air of proud satisfaction, the
Republican members of the Ohio Legisla-
ture Endorsed Secretary STANTON, unre-
servedly and unqualifiedly. In him they
had boundless faith. There was no guile
In him. He was Radical to the core. He
delighted to make his meals onIroasted
Rebels and Copperheads. President JOHN
son they could not and would not indorse,
His patriotism was not pure. He could
not he trusted. There was danger that he
would play into the hands of the cooper
heads'' by undertaking to force into Con-
gress unsanctified, unwashed and un-
combed Rebels, who would be exceeding
Iy offensive to the polished WADE, the
amiable ScHENcK and the powdered and
periumed SUMNER. Now, that MIR. STAN
TON has taken sides with the President and
against the Republican majority in Con-
gress, would it not be well for the Ohio
Legislature to be called together In extra
session to cancel their Endorsement of Mr..
STANTON ?

Verified.

The statement detailing the Cabinet dis
cussion OIL the Reconstruction committees
distranchisement amendment, is verified
1t is stated that the report, before it was
given to the reporter of the Associated
Press for publication, was approved by ev-
cry member of the Cabinet. IL appears
unuuestionable, then, that Mr.. STANTON
stands by the President, in his disagreement
with the Radicals and that the Cabinet Is
much more in accord with the President
than the country generally believed. With
truth it may be said that Mr.. STANTON is
not likely to dignity any cause very much; |;
b 1t his Identification thus openly with the
President is an indication that he looks
upon the ''policy" of the Radicals as calcu-
lated to overwhelm the Republican party
with ineffable Odium. Otherwise, it is not
probable that he would abandon them. He
has noticed the beating of the public pulse
through the recent elections. 1t presagcs
the dissolution of the Republican party.

The Radical politicians seem to be all of
piece, wherever they are found. Luckily
there are some honest men among them, and
they serve to reveal the dOings of the ma
jority. One of these rare birds, some days
ago, undertook to ventiate the dOings of
his party in the Legislature of Pennsylva-
mia. Abiding to the extravaganza OF the
lower branch of that body, he said:
There were nineteen posters and folders
receiving $3.50 each per day. The work
done by these nineteen men could be ac-
cOmplished by three or four boys.
One man presented bill amounting to 81
400. The Auditor General thought the
charge enormous, and cut it down $780,
The person presenting the bill did not com
plain, but gave as an excuse for his eXOrbi-
tant charge, that he was to divide the prof
its with the Superintendent of Public
Buildings"
That will answer for sample even of
Missouri Radicalism. But this Pennsylva-
MIA Legislature went further in initiating
ours. The last days of its existence were
signalized by raising the salaries of most of
the officers in the State. The Governors
was raised to $4,000, Judges to $3,500, $4,-
500 and $1,000. They increased the pay of
all the county officers, and finally heyvoted
themselves $500 apiece. The fellows knew
where the milk in the cOcOanut lay as well
as ours-jSt. Louis Republican.

Capt. w. ". Gill.

Captain William ii. Gill, very worthy
gentleman, and who for the past five years
has acted as Military Store Keeper at this
locality, has. at his own request, been re-
lieved, and turned over the Government
property, etc, to Captain Hull. Captain
Gill, in his retirement, takes with him the
kind wishes of host of friends and ac-
quaintances for his future prosperity in
whatever business he may embark, while
all will acknowledge with pleasure his eff
ficiency as public officer and his worth as
a private northumberland National
Union.
Capt. GILL will be remembered as an
efficient Democratic Editor in years agone.
He was for time the editor OF the Gaern-
sey JeGasonian; afterwards he edited a
paper in Noble county; and when he was
appointed Military Store Keeper by Presi-
dent BUCHANAN, he had just retired from
the Ne,o Lisbon Patriot. We believe he
was in Kansas in the discharge ofhis Off
cial duties until the late war broke out,
when he was transferred to Cincinnati. He
has our best wishes for future success.

SUMMARY OF SALES.
The City CounciI-The Commercially
COrrespOndcnI.

The Democratic Councilmen who first
boltcd, and then sent a note expressing
themselves dissatisfied as to the election of
Mr.. ComstUck as President of the Council,
now express willingness to accept the sit
uation il allowed share in the distribu-
tion of city offices. This the UniOnists re-
fuse TO cOncede as a condition precedent OF
a return of the delinquents to duty.
This is from the Columbus correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial. The DEM
ocratic Councilmen never bolted-they only
efused to recognize the pretended election
of Mr.. Comstock, and they still refuse to
recognize him as President; and if he shall
ever become President of the Columbus
City Council, he will have to be legally
elected to that position. We know of no
Democratic Councilman who is at all dis
posed to back dOton, and dignity the farce
by which Mr.. Comstock was put into the
Chair of the Council as legal election; !;
AID if any one should manifest such dis
position, he would probably find a rough
and stormy time among the people who
elected him. The citizens of this city are
abundantly able to compose their municipal
difficulties, without the impertinent inter-
meddling of an office-holder who resides in
Cleveland, and has no interests here.

Death OF Hon. william Johnston.

Hon. WILLIAM JOHNSTON, Representa-
tive in the last Congress from the Eighth
Ohio District, died at his home in Mansfield,
on Tuesday morning, May lst, and was in
TERED in the beautiful Cemetery of that
place, on Thursday afternoon, May Sd. The
Shield and Banner, in the course of its ar
ticle announcing his death, says:
ale contracted cold while addressing
the people in the political campaign OF 1864,
which seriously affected his bronchial tubes,
and was too unwell TO return to Congress
till after the holidays, in January, 1860. 1t
being the short session, he remained till the
4th of March; and by the urgent advice of
his friends spent the greater part OF last
Summer. at the Danvlle Water Cure Es-
tablishment. in the State of New York,
which greatly benefited him; returning
home, aud attending to some Important law
cases, his cough became more troublesome,
and eventually pulmonary consumption
fastened upon his lungs, thus ending the
brilliant career OF one of our most talented
members of the Bar whose bright star was
in the ascendant, and whose future prom
ised still greater eminence as Lawyer
and Statesman. He leaves large family,
to whom he was most tenderly devoted and
a wife who was unceasing i'll ministering to
his every want. May Heaven soothe her
bleeding heart"
We can scarce afford to lose such men as
Mr.. JOHNSTON at this time-not, certainly,
without recording the loss as public ca
lamty; and the poignant sorrow of that
sacred inner circle-his own loved and de-
voted family-where his loss will be most
keenly felt, we may not interrupt by any
poor words of consolation that we could
give utterance to. We can but tender them
our sorrowing sympathy in this hour of
bereavement and afiliction; and invoke for
them the consultations that come from

Negro soldiers, all of whom have been
thrown into our city to act and do as they
please. During Saturday night and Sun

loaded with balls, in the stree, regardless
of the lives of the passers by. To go to
work and enumerate the various outrages
on the part of negro soldiers would occupy
more space andtime than we wish to devote
to the subject at the present time, but we
may state that there are certain parties in
the city who will sell liquor to these ne
groes, and they. thinking they have the
same right and priyil ges, it not more, than
other people, become very boisterous IN

ACCOUNTS from Louisiana report the
killing of large numbers of horses and
mules in the northern part of the
State by buffalo gnats. One planta-
ton lost thirty-eight mules and horses in
one night, another twenty-five, and others
from fifteen to twenty each. The buffalo
gnat is quite small insect prevalent gen.
orally in river and creek bottoms at some
seasons of the year. Great numbers of
them will fit about and settle on a horse,
until they SO fill his nostrils and throat as
to produce strangulation. Riders have
often lost their horses in this way while
going through locality infested by them.
Smoke is sometimes used to keep them off.

The People Prescribing for OPin.
ions sake.

Indignation is INDUCED in against the
President by Radicals, because he removes
office-holders for not concurring with him
in his political views. The people through
out the country are giving justification for
such removals by voting Republicans out
of Office and voting Democrats in their
places. This is becoming frequent. An
other instance of this kind occurred in the
city OF Anderson, in Indiana, on the 1st
instant, where they elected the entire
Democratic ticket by majOrities ranging
from five to fifty. Heretofore Anderson
was Republican stronghold.

"Can We Bear More Debt i? IS

This question is asked by leading Re-
publican journal. The wholesale plunder-
ings the country has been subjected to by
Republican officials, of one sort and anoth-
er, during the last five years, and the leg
islation of this Congress that has tendency
to protraet the disordered state of the coun-
try would seem to indicate that the Re-
publican politicians think we can bear any
amount of debt.
