Hopkins & Co., of TOledO-COrr6;tiOn
In making up our items of State news
forour issue of Monday morning, the 10th
inst, we found an item in one of our. Ohio
exchanges (the name of the paper we do
not recollect), which we copied substan-
TALLY as follows, ,r .-..I ,af--,of
FAILURES IN ToLEDo.-The large grain
and commission house of Hopkins & Co.,
at Toledo, failed a few days since. The Ii
abilities. it Is said, amount to $l00,O00.-
This is the fifth heavy failure in that city
within few weeks.
We knew nothing of the firm of Hop
kins & Co., save as derived from the source
above indicated. We republished the state
ment simply as an item of news. We see
correction of. the statement in the Toledo
Blade of the 10th inst, and desiring to do
the firm in question full and ample justice,
we reproduce the Blades article:
ENTIRELY FALsE.-The Sdnd,tSky Register
has an item credited to The OHIO STATES
MAN, saying that the, Commission House
of Hopkin. & Co., of Toledo, tailed a few
days Since" Thestory is iaise-havihg not
the least semblance of truth, and we are
authorized to say that Mr.. Hopkins will
pay $500 to the person that will inform him
of the originator of this gross libel upon
the late firm, and upon himself. Will the
ReaiSter and STATESMAN correct their state
Inents, aud thus do justice to one of the
| largestan most reliable grain commission
| houses in the West? lld. 4 .UlT 10 .F IIE

Three Mem Drowned.

The Mitchell Press says three men
were drowned at Brush's mill in Usage
on the night of the 4th inst. Their
names were Edward McGrath, James
Leavitt, and John Watson. They be-
longed in Cedar township on the west
side of the river, and undertook to
cross the mill pond in skiff on their
way home, when they were carried
over the DAM The boat was broken
up. Leavitt and Watson foated down
about eighty rods and caught among
the trees on an island. The people on
the bank of the river could converse
with them, but having no boat, and
the night being dark, and the current
rapid, they were unable to render the
unfortunate men any assistance.
In the morning the bodies Of Leav-
lit and Watson were found among the
trees and bushes, where they lodged
the night before and chung for life and
safety. The body of Leavitt was in a
tree several feet above the water
where it is supposed he crawled fol
safety from the rushing current, and
persisted from cold. Watson's body
was found clinging to limb where he
also persisted from cold. The body O
McGrath was not found until sometime
afterwards.

Freshet in Wisconsin,

The spring thaw in Wisconsin has
been attended with calamitous results.
Vast damage has been done to dams,
bridges, railroads and private proper
ty. The railroads from Milwaukee at
one time were all disabled, and the
mills and manufacturing establish
ments there were all compelled to stop
for repairs. The aggregate loss of
property in the State is estimated at
nearly 100000. The Damage to
the Prairie du Chen railroad alone is
estimated at half million of dollars
Great damage was done at Port
Washington, Wauwatosa, Beloit, Ra-
cine, and other places. At Beloit the
railroad bridge over Rock river was
carried of. The Wisconsin river was
filled with remnants of bridges, out
houses, pig-pens, dead hogs, sheep and
cattle. Many farmers have lost nearly
all, their farms being entirely stripped.

Good News.

The Civil Rights Bill passed the
Senate on the 9th inst. notwithstand-
ing the objection of the President by a
vote of 33 for to Is against it, being
one more than the necessary two-thirds
majority, and had Mr.. Dixon. of Con-
necticut who is confined to his bed by
illness, been present, there would have
been one more vote for it. The fact
that Senator Morgan, of New York,
voted with the majority, indicates that
Secretary Seward and his friends do
not indorse the veto.
1t is altogether likely that the House,
in which the Civil Rights bill origin
ally passed by very large majority,
will promptly re-pass the bill, and thus
make it law of the land, and all the
real friends of the freedmen and Of hui
manityswill be gratifed The princi-
pie involved in the Civil Rights bill is
that for which, next to the preservation
of the Union, the recent war was wag-
ed SO earnestly and valiantly by our
patriot soldiers-the principle of uni
versal human rights. The President
made the greatest mistake of his life
time when he vetoed this measure, and
if he persists in his wrong doing he
will be impeached and removed from

Proclamation of Peace.

President Johnson has issued Proc
lamation declaring the Rebellion at
an end and Peace fully restored to the
country through the complete submis.
of those lately in revolt to the Consti.
tuition aud laws. He has fortified
this brief declaration with an exceed.
ingly long preamble; whereas, +" the
fact above set Notwithstanding il to
be a facts all the justification re.
quired. If the Rebellion is complete.
ly suppressed and renowned, Proc
lamation of Peace is matter of
course.
The President is silent with regard
to the prisoners. Jefferson Davis and
Clement G. Clay, who are still held in
custody by his order. If the War is
ended, and the late rebels all return
ed to loyalty. they ought either to be
tried on whatever charge may be pre-
ferred against them or set at liberty.
We shall, doubtless, soon hear some
thing definite on this point.
Now that peace is restored, and
the military rule about to be with
drawn. the civil authority will resume
its operations. What civil authority?
The only Governments in those
States, eitherexecutive, legislative, or
judicial. are those existing under the
reconstructed State Governments,
whose legal existence and constitu-
tional character have never been re.
cognzcd by Congress, and without
which they have no pore legal au-
thority To govern those States than
they have to govern the State of Illi-
nois. II is true that the President,
while declaring peace to exist, does
not technically restore the writ of Aa-
beas corpus, nor formally withdraw the
military rule, yet he recites the fact
that there no longer exists any
necessity for the further suspesion of
the writ nor for the military authority,
and that they should cease. Wheth-
er he proposes to formally attend to
these matters in subsequent procla-
nation, or whether he intends by the
formal declaration of the restoration
Of peace to include them, is more than
We can tell. We think, however, that
while the proclamation is intended by
him as virtually recognition of the
existing State Governments, he has
not ventured to place himself in a rev.
dictionary attitude by assuming real
ly to do that which is not within his
jurisdiction, but belongs exclusively
to another branch Of Congress.
