TEE SAINTS OF RApIcALIsM

The Cleveland Ohio Herald, in copy
ing from a Southern paper a paragraph
announcing the death Of the wife of JoHS
C. CALHOUN, has the following:
The baptism of blood was the result of
REGARD for CALHOUN political teachings.
The greatest error ever committed in this
country, since BENEDICT ARNOLD was
permitted to escape, was that Mrs. CAL
HeuY WAS not made widow by the gal
lows in 1882.
In the northern part of Ohio, in lSG0,
a negro, adjudged to be fugitive slave
by the proper authorities, was iorcibly
rescued by the Abolitionists. There was
great excitement and a meeting called,
which was attended by CHASE, DEySIsos,
WADE, and other Abolitionists. II was
on this occasion that CHASE, says the
Cincinnati Union, then Governor Of
Ohio, was principal speaker, and twas
then and there that he promised If the
Judges of the Ohio Court would order
the prisoner, then in the hands Of the
United States Court, and the custody Of
the United States Marshalto be released,
he, SALMoS P CHASE, as Governor, would
bring the whole power Of the State to
enforce the decision, let the consequences
be what they may. The Supreme Court
of the State before whom two of the
prisoners we're brought, on habeas cor
pus. refused TO order their discharge,
and hence a conflict between the general
Government ana the State, which must
have ended in bloodshed, was avoided.
Al the same meeting, Mr. DESSIsoS, then
the Radical candidate for Governor, was
also speaker, and was understood to
indorse the position Of Governor CHGsE.
And now, the most noticeable thing
about this affair is the first resolution
it adopted. It was transcribed without
credit from the celebrated Kentucky
resolution of 1898, which Mr.. CALHOUN
made the basis of his theory Of State
rights We reprint it:
I. Rssolred, That the several States
composing the United States Of Amerisa,
are not united on the principle Of I'M

eminent, bat that by compact under the
sfyle and title OF Constitution for the

70 that Government certain definite

THE NEXT WAR.

The Indianapolis correspondent Of the
Louisville Democrat says: The negroes
of this city have formed an equal rights
association, demanding all the rights
aud privileges Of the white citizens in'
Gliding Suffrage and free access TO the
common schools. They have formed a
battalion, consisting of about three
hundred, which has military drills at
night, com manded by one Of their num-
Der, who has been in the service. They
say the object Of drilling is to prepare
for the next war, and the Republican
leaders threaten war within the next
two months The organization extends
over the State.

HORSE THIEVES FORTIFIED

Quite lively skirmish occurred over
on Peach creek, in Pamela county, says
the Pamela Star, one day last week, be-
tween three horse thieves and party Of
gentlemen from Lafayette county, who
were pursuing them 1t appears that
when the pursuers came up with the
thieves, tho latter we're in house, which
was Immediately surrounded, when a
brisk FIRE was opened on both sides, re-
sulting in the repulse of the pursuing
party with the loss of one wounded.
The thieves were not slow TO embrace
this opportunity of making their es-
cape. The other party claims to have
wounded one of them, but it is not Ger
tainly known whether they did or moi.
One of their names, as we learn, is
SMITH, the others, ARsoLD, two brothers.
There is supposed to be regularly or
ganized clan Of these thieves, extending
through Arkansas and Louisiana. On
last Wednesday morning, another party
from Lafayette county passed through
our town on their way after them, as
they are said to still be in the Peach
creek neighborhood, fortified in log
house and awaiting an attack. We hope
to hear a favorable report from this party
of gentlemen in a day or two.

srpANcr PHENOMENA.

The Aberdeen Examiner says that On
Monday morning the surface of Mattuote
creek was covered with dead fish, as
high. up the stream asthe bridge The
buzzards and hogs are enjoying rich
feast off those drifting TO the banks.
Well informed observers are puzzled %
account foi this great mortality among
the fish, which followed the subsidenee
of Sundays thunder storm. Opinions
vary, some sttributing the death OF the
fish to the effect Of the conclusion upon
the water caused by the sudden thunder
claps; others account tor it in more
homely way. by thinking that the 'nrold-
ness OF the water occasioned by its rapid
rise resulted in this general destruction.

THE TOMATO.

As an article of food the tomato 'snot
only nutritious, but it possesses many
valuable medicinal qualities 1t Is one
Of the most powerful aperisnts OF the
liver and other organs, and can be sub
stitnted for calomel IL is also stated
that, before long, experiments now beng
made will result in procuring chemi-
cal extract from the tomato that VIII ui-
,imately supercede calomelin the cure OF
disease. Diarrhea has been successfully
treated with the tomato alone, and 1t Is
said to be an excellent remedy for dys-
pepsia and Indigestion. Cooked or raw
the tomato as daily food, is one OF the
most wholesome articles in use.

HON. A. H. STEPHENS.

Hon. ALEX. II. SrEPHEEs, says an ex-
change, has been engaged to deliver a
lecture before the Young Mems Asso-
citation Of Chicago during its next course,
and the Milwaukee people are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY Of inviting him to lee
ture in that city also. The personal ap-
peArance Of Mr. STEPHExs makes much
against him. His health, since child
hood, has been bad, and he looks like a
skeleton, over which the skin has been
drawn, and then srnoke-dried His voice,
when be commences to speak, is shrill,
and unlike that Of any other mans voice
We ever heard. As he progresses It in
creases in volume, and in the TALENT Of
the ormor, the audience seem to lose
sight Of the oddly of his appearance.

THE ELECTIONS IN 1866. PAST AND
TO COME.

Those who have paid much attention
to the GIBBS and flows of public sentiment
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, have al
WAYS remarked the affinity between the
different States and observed that the
FIRST results in the beginning of year
are generally good indications of those
that are to come. Ever since 1910 this
peculiarly has been the distinguishing
feature Of our political campaigns. In
fact, the elections that commence badly
| for party keep growing worse and pro-
gress in that direction to the end Of the
year in sort of geometrical progression.
Its in view of this fact that We have
every thing to encourage us in the aspect
of the times. The first important elec-
ton was in Connecticut The Radicals
there, from having a majority of 10000,
were cut down to 600, and il was only by
the most tremendous exertions that they
were saved from utter defeat
Then came Oregon and Nebraska,
where there were the closest contests,
and 10 each of which the Radical major
ity was reduced almost to zero. Ken
lucky was rext on the list II 1865 she
was about tie between the parties, but
this year she goes 10000 Democratic
This glorious resell is responded to by a
Democratic triumph in the distant Ter
ritory Of Colorado, whose settlers have
recently met there from all the States.
Democrats may rest assured that i is
no accident that causes this series Of
Democratic victories and gains. Neither
is it owing 70 local causes, for they
would not be likely TO happen in so
many and different parts of the country.
They are caused by u widespread dis
satisfaction OF the course of the Radical
majority in Congress. This dissahsfsc-
ton will be more strongly marked and
developed in the election yet TO come
of. In al the great States the Radicals
will lose Ia the same. il not greater
ratio than they have in Connecticut,
Oregon, Nebraska, Colorado and Ken
lucky. In all Of them they will be
beaten. The handwriting IS on the wall.
The people of Kentucky and Colorado
have changed no more than will the men
Of Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania
and New York. TIE Democratic col
umn, assisted by its conservative allies
in other parties, is marching resistiessly
20 victory. 'f,t s'
