OUTRAGES OF THE COPPERHEADS.


The Columbus correspondent Of the Gin.
cinnati Gazette has the following concern
ing the outrages perpetratcd by Copper
heads at the polls in the Capital of Ohio:
There was more or less excitement Al all
the polls in the city, owing to the large
crowds of Democratic roughs that surroun.
ded them, but no serious disturbance oc-
Cured. In some instances Union voters
were grossly insulted, but they preferred
to bear the injury rather than bring on
collision by resentng it.. ltis to them, aud
not TO these praters about free speech and
free ballot, that we are indebted for the
comparative quiet that prevailed. At the
Fifth Ward some mulattoes attempted to
vote, but were driven away by Mlller's
friends, with stones, brickbats and clubs,
and they barely escaped serious injury as
it was they were considerably bruised.
In the Eighth Ward, mon who hal voted
tor years, were kept away from the polls
because they would not vote to suit the
C0pperhead bulies assembled there.
All through the city the Democratic
judges, where they had every ything their
own way, refused to receive the ballot of a
Union man, unless his right to vote was
established beyond perAdventure, while
their own men showed in votes as fast as
they were presented, without any question
being raised, unless it was by some Union
man, whose challenge would be often
snubbed.
A resident of the Seventh Ward was not
allowed to cast his ballot because his wife
happened to be temporarily a patient at
some water-cure hospital
In Franklinton, the suffrages of the in
mates of the Ohio Soldiers Home were re.
jectcd, thus giving us another illustration
Of Democratic love for the soldier.
Numerous other instances of abuse coull
be mentioned but these are enough.

A CLERGYMAN KILLED GOING
TO A FUNERAL-We Corpse Re.
turns to LJe.-The La Crosse Re.
publican has a correspondent, who
was recently visiting at West Bend,
Wis, when he learned the following
facts, which are substantiated by
Hon. E. O. Thorpe, who resides at
West Bend:
On Saturday, the Sd inst, at West
Bend, the Rev. Mr.. Miller was called
to go into the country, few miles
from town, to preach the funeral
sermon of Mrs. Lambert, who was
supposed to be dead. She was ar
rayed in her funeral attire and placed
in her coffin. 1t appears that Mr..
Miller was the owner of fractions
horse, that was sometimes unman-
ageable and would run away. He
was to pass through a timbered
country, and on account of snow
drifts the road was almost impassa-
BILE, and from this fact the horse sue
ceeded in throwing the minister from
the cutter. From appearances, Mr..
Miller was thrown with great force
upon large oak stump that was
filled with short knots. One of these
came in contact with and severed
the jugular vein.
When he was found, life was al.
most extinct from loss of blood. He
was taken to the nearest house, and
medical aid at once procured, but he
only lived short time. The cutter
was found some distance from where
the accident occurred, and the horse
detached from it. But the most sim
gular development of this sad and
mysterious affair is yet to be told.
Further information proves that Mrs.
Lambert was not dead, but had been
in a trance for two days, presenting
every indication that life had de-
parted. She is now improving, and |
expected soon to recover. She states
that she could hear every word |
spoken, and could realize the prepare
tons her friends were making for
her funeral, but could make no re-
sistance, or move muscle of her
body. Her grave had been dug.
She now lives, and the minister who
had been called to preach her funeral
sermon now lies buried in the grave
made to receive her remains.

TEUToNIc ANECDoTE OF LINCOLN.
In the transatlantic German papers
we find many anecdotes of the late
Abraham Lincoln not known in this
country. A lieutenant, whom debts
compelled to leave his Fatherland
and service, succeeded in being ad-
mitted to the late President Lincoln,
and by reason Of his winning deport-
ment and intelligent appearance, was
promised lieutenant's commission
in cavalry regiment. He was SO
enraptured with his success, that he
deemed it duty to inform the Presi-
dent that he belonged to one of the
oldest noble houses in Germany.
"Oh, never mind that" said Old
Abe, "You will not find that to be
an obstacle to your advancement"

"White mems spade upturned the graves
Where slept in peace the Indian braves"
