RATE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS.
.RATEs OF ADVERTIsING.
From the Chicago Republican.
The True linton Platform.


We published few days ago the reso-
lutions of the Union Convention in the
State of Ohio, and they We're SO exceed
ingly appropriate, and SO admirably
adapted to the present state of the cOun-
try, that we reproduce them, and invite
TO them the attention OF all sensible
men. These resolutions were as follows:
ReSoEved, That the Union party OF
Ohio, having sustained the General
Government during four years of sue
cessful war against the united forces OF
rebels in the South and their partisans
in the North, now demand that peace
shall be established upon such stable
foundation that rebellion and secession
will never again endanger our national
existence.
RESOLVED, That this Convention fully
endorses the amendment to the Consti-
tuition, proposed by Congress to the Leg
islatures of the States, as liberal, wise,
and patriotic adjustment; and the
Union party of Ohio pledges for it their
united and hearty support.
ReSoLUed, That the nation owes the
heroes of our army and navy debt OF
lasting gratitude for their patriotic SER
vices in defense of the Constitution and
Union; and we urge upon Congress the
duty of equalizing the bounties; and
that, while we cherish with tender
affection the memories of the fallen
brave, we pledge to their widows and
orphans the nations care and protec-
ton.
The people deal only with living
issues. The issue, and the only one,
now before them, is the ratification or
rejection of the proposed constitutional
amendment. Should that be rejected,
or should it be adopted? That is the
practical question before the country,
and the only one upon which the peo-
pie have an opportunity to pass their
Judgment. Wendell Phillips, and Mr..
Tilton, and other men of that stripe,
give forth indications that they will
oppose that amendment. They wanted
an amendment proposed establishing
negro suffrage. That amendmentcould
not obtain two-thirds vote in Con-
gress, and therefore could not be
proposed. Unable to get that,
they oppose all that falls short
of it, and, uniting with the com
mon enemy of the country, resist the
adoption of the pending amendment.
But the people do not share these i'm
practica Bile ideas. The amendment is a
Substantial embodimentof all the prin-
ciples of the Union party, and is an
etfectuaI strangulation of rebellion. 1t
elevates to citizenship men who, in that
character, will hereafter suppress any
attempt at a revival of slavery, and
supplies, therefore, the great protection
which the nation demands. 1t abol-
ishes the anomalous condition of rep.
resentatiVes without constituents, and
the equally monstrous inequality of a
few men in certain States exercising
the same political power that is eXer-
cised by the many in the other States.
1t buses national representation where
it ought to be based, upon the numbers
in each State competent to exercise po-
litical functions, and wisely leaves to
each State the exclusive authority oil
determining which of its own people
are tit1nd for that important duty.

FrIShtfnI BarbarIty----A Child OF
Three Years whipped 10 Death.


A Presbyterian clergyman named
Lindsey has been arrested at Medina
N. Y, for whipping his little boy 70
death. The child, who would have
been three years old in August, refused
to say his prayers when ordered to do
so by its step-mother. The father then
administered the cruel and fatal pun
ishment above mentioned. The fol-
lowing is the fathers testimony before
the Coroner's Jury:
On the 18th of June the child DISC
beyed his step-mother, and commenc-
ed correcting him, using a shingle for
the purpose, and continued to chastise
him for more than ta0o hours, when the
child began to show signs of debility,
and ceased to punish him and laid
him on a couch, and called my wife.
When she saw the child she said he
was dying, and before II o'clock he was
dead.
The Coroner's Jury returned a YER
dict "that death resulted from chastise-
ment by the father"
The Rochester Union says:
The body of tile child told more
plainly and pathetically than words
could, the terrible punishment it had
undergone. Several of its fingers were
broken and the nails knocked Off the
skin was abrased, and the blood had
oozed from every pore. To conceal
El6 Lllc bIGAA LhC AlLGAC OAC .
hands behind its back and himself
placed it in its coffin. While physi-
clans were making post mortem exam
nation of the body, he sat by, coolly
looking at the proceedings. After a
while he spoke and asked them if they
had not carried "this thing about far
enough" The physicians discovered
no disease about the child-it died sole
ly from excessive and cruel punish
ment. .--..--l-
We are told that Lindsey justifies his
horrid work. He thinks it was his
duty to punish the child until his will
was broken and he obeyed. Lindsey
was arrested yesterday and committed
to Jail in Albion. 1t was with the ut
most difficulty that the officers who had
him in charge could keep the citizens OF
Medina from Iynching the murderer on
the spot. Lindsey is man about five
feet eight inches in height, well pro-
portioned, has black whiskers and
dark complexion. He has the appear
ance of a man of violent temper. AS
to his character hitherto we know moth
ing against him. He has farm and is
reported to be a man of some means.
He has not charge of an established
church, but breaches occasionally-is
what is called n mission clergyman.

MErEoRIC EXPLosIoN.-The Shreve-
port, La.) Southeastern reports the fol-
lowing 1.-Two gentlemen, a few days
ago, while riding along the road, a
short distance from this place, witnessed
a curious occurrence during the day
time. A rain was coming up, preceded
by slight sprinkling. when at a short
distance ahead they saw large ball OF
are descend slowly from the clouds
and affix itself to the trunk of tall
dead pine, at the height OF a few feet
from the ground. Both called to each
other simultaneously to notice the
strange object, which, to use their own
words, tblazed up where it stood like a
candle" Itso continued a few seconds
when it suddenly exploded with a tre-
mendous detonation, tearing the tree
into a thousand splinters, and setting
fire to the portion of the stump that re,
mained. 4 considerably area was filled
with falling foliage, and fragments
scattered in every direction. 1mrnedi.
ately upon the explosion, streak oi
ere was seen shooting off horizontally y
from the tree, following the surface oi
the ground, passing within hfty OF
sixtr feet of them, and of the character
of a stream of lightning, as often seen
descending from the clouds when II

The Dangers to Whicn we are Ex-

|aE.sH pUScus
Should there be war in Europe, and
the probabilities are that it has already
commenced, the trade of Europe and
Great Britain will be seriously affected
by it. England will have to seek some
outlet for her manufactures. Her trade
with the continent, estimated at Sl75,-
OOO, 900 annually, will be to II great ex-
tent cut OH, and to compensate for this
loss, she will be compelled to seek u
large trade with America, and this vital
fact should be kept steadily in view.
Within the last few weeks we have
sent $40, ,OO0, 600 of gold in payment OF
balances against US, and to cover bills.
The shipment of this specie is every
where through Great Britain admitted
to have saved general bankruptcy in
England. Nothing could have so direct
ly conduced to the renewal of our credit
as this shipment of gold, although it
was at feartulcost to ourselves. Great
confidence is necessarily everywhere
felt in our credit. 1t is certain that we
shall have an immense importation oil
goods from England, unless 1t IS pro-
Yided against in the tariff law. Large
amounts of manufacture intended for
Germany may be expected to find their
way TO New York, a large proportion OF
them no doubt on consignment, to be
sold at the best rates that can be OBJ
tanned. The same will be the policy OF
the continental manufacturers, VINO,
unable to dispose of their productions,
will also consign here vast.quantities OF
merchandise, to compete with domestic
labor, enterprise and capital. Their
goods will be shipped at lower prices
Than those now current. They will be
paid for in specie, which will be adrain
on our gold. This will have a paraly-
zing effect on domestic industry. La
Dor will be largely affected by it, for
our manufacturers will be compelled
to diminish the amount of work and
perhaps cease running altogether. I'm
less steps are taken to meet the emer-
gency, hundreds of millions may be
the cost to our manufacturers and mer-
chants.-P Pittsburgh Commercial

THE TENNESSEE DELEGATIoN.-As it
is proba BILE that the Congressional del
egation from Tennessee will be admit
ted Immediately upon the adoption by
that State of the Constitutional amend
ment, it is of interest TO know what
sort OF men it has sent. The Senators
are Joseph s. Fowler and David L. Pat
tersOn. Fowler is said to be more
able man than his colleague, and has
always been an anti-slavery man. 1t
is doubted whether Patterson can take
the oath, since he served the Confeder-
acy as conscript judge. The Repre-
sentntiyes, in the order of districts, are
Col. N. b. Taylor, Horace Maynard,
William b. Stokes, Edward Cooper,
William B. Campbell, Dorsey B. ThOm-
as, Colonel Isaac r. Hawkins and John
w. Leftwitch. Colonel Taylor is we'll
known in the North for his efforts in
obtaining relief for destitute East Ten
nessee Unionists during the war.
Stokes and Maynard have been making
radical speeches throughout the North
during the SESSION of Congress. Colo
mel Hawkins served gallantly in the
Union army. He is from Emerton Eth
eridge's district. All these, with Cor
nell and Leftwitch, can take the oath
without mental reservations; SO can
Campbell. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Cooper, who is now the Presidents pri-
vate secretary, gave funds towards re-
cruiting soldiers for the rebel army.
Stokes, Fowler and Cornell have pro-
nouncad in favor of impartial suffrage
and urged the Tennessee Legislature to
enact it by law. 1t is probable that
Stokes will be the next candidate of
the radicals for Governor.-N. y. Her

A MAD HoRsE.-The Guernsey Times
says that Mr.. Thomas Stewart, of Cam
bridge, was forced TO shoot a valuable
horse, belonging to him, u few days
since, on account of his having become
raving mad from the bite OF rabid
dog, also belonging TO Mr.. Stewart.
The horse was valued at S4OO to $500.
It was noticed that several days before
he was killed something was wrong
with him, but no one had any idea of
what it was. he was noticed to be very
restive, and swapping like a dog at
everything that came within his reach.
He caught u pig that came near him,
With his teeth, and shook it as a dog
would. afterwards stamping il to death
with his feet. He bit himself severely
a number of times, and also bit anoiher
horse quite severely, taking out large
piece of flesh.

CONSPIRACY IN THE SoUTH.-The
Alexandria, Va, Journal says: eve
are now fully satisfied that there is a
deeply laid plan in Virginia, extending
throughout the South, TO keep alive for
future use the hopes, purposes and or
ganization of the late disunion con-
spiracy. One measure of the disunion-
lists is to hold control of the land of the
South. Another measure is to retard
settlement by Northern men through a
system of terrorism, An important
part of the plan consists in a deliber-
ately organized system ofmilitary emil
grafton from Europe. These are the
foundation measures of the new sec
tionaI disunion conspiracy. Sectional
politics, negro serfdom, commemmora-
ton of disunion battles, Generals and
heroes, the annual floral decorations of
soldiers graves, added to the incendia-
ry teachings of the press and pulpit,
are expected in time TO do their work
of cooperation.
