A dred years ago, there was not single
white man in Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana or Illinois Territories. Then.

was as little known as the
hountains of the moon. It was not
until 1888 that the hunter of Ken

his little monarchy was sustaining a

Austria and France, the three great
powers of Europe combined.
A hundred years ago, the United

railroads and telegraphs had not en-

A Lady HIesnaerist and nn UnIucI<y
Editor.
. Miss Poole, lecturer on electro
biology and mesmerism, lately paid
visit to the town of Carmarthen,
Wales, and disturbed for q brief
period its wonted quietude. The
editor of the Reporte,'published some
structures on the performances, and
offered, by a simple test, to prove
that the mesmeric sleepers were in
reality wide awake whilst supposed
to be under her powerful influence
The next evening, Miss Poole varied
her programme little by comment
ing upon the critic, and taking copy
of the Reporter from her pocket, she
tore it into shreds before the audience.
Shorty afterwards, the unfortunate
editor entered the room, when the
door-keeper appealed to Miss Poole if
he should send for u policeman to
turn him out, and she replied: s'Let
him alone; have policemen of my
own. We will have some fun directly"
Addressing about eight of the young
men on whom she had been operating,
but who were apparently awake, she
SAID: 'Ihere IS person in. this
audience whom want you to bring
upon this platform; go and fetch
him." At this command the whole
OF them bounded off the platform
and ran towards the individual re-
ferred to, who was pointed out to
them by the door-keeper, and they
laid hold of him and carried him by
main force to the platform, the
audience cheering and laug Ching
heartily, little anticipating what
would follow. But matters soon took
a serious turn, fer IS soon as he was
brought near the platform, Miss
Poole, whose GOODNESS and self-posses-
sion had evidently deserted her, seized
hold of him by the hair of his head
and dragged him upon the platform,
tie yoang men still keeping fast hold
of him, and there he lay for a few
moments, with the enraged lady pull
ing his hair in furious manner. the

matter how good terms we could have
made.
We wish here to thank our patrons
for the generous and warm support
they have given us, and the many
words of cheer with which they have
greeted us. 1t is a source of salts
faction to know that we leave the
Standard in a condition no less pros
porous than when we found it; In fact,
that our connection with it has been
marked by healthy growth; its list
being larger by between one and two
hundred, and its job work and adyer-
Using much increased. We do not
fatter ourselves, however, that the
Improvement is all due to us; but
principally to the change of the office
from Irasburgh to this place We
hope it will continue to prosper till
in circulation and influence it shall be
second to no paper in the State. In
order to do this the people must sup
port it; and as advice to then upon
this point, we cannot do better than
to use the language of Mr.. Earle when
he turned the Office over to us six
months ago: "STILL STAND BY THE
STANDARD"

the wounded and dead prisoners At

the wounded and dead prisoners at
the various station-houses, before they
were, by military orders, removed to
the hospitals. The evidence of Lieut..
Col. Crosby, Major Sheridan, and DR..
Avery on this point, shows a horrible
scene of suffering and neglect az
could have been presented on lost
battlefield.
The Board are reluctantly com.
PEELED to discredit the mayor, and to
believe that he knew that not a sol
der had been asked for, and that,
when he massed his armed police aud
held them aloof from the building, no
barrier remained between the conyen-
ton and negroes and the Infatuated
citizens with whose threats the city
was yet ringing except his paper
proclamation. He states, moreover
that he knew that the hatred of the
mob toward the convention and the
negroes was shared by his police. In
this State of affairs, should the ne.
groes assemble in any number, q col
lision might be considered inevitable
and an attack by the mob upon th'
convention is sure to follow. Thel
the police-massed. armed and read,
are let loose upon the scene to 'Quel
the riot" How they did quell it will
appear from the evidence.

Report of the Military Commission on
the New Orleans Massacre.

The following extracts from the
Report tells its true story of the New
Orleans massacre:
At II o'clock, Sunday night, the
night watchmen are drawn off their
beats, and held at the various stations.
In the morning, the whole uniformed
police were withdrawn, and are so
massed and held in readiness, whether
by orders or without orders, nearly
every man is armed. They are not
sent to the convention for its protec-
ton, as advised by Gen. Heron; on
the contrary, they scrupulously kept
from appearing on the streets, the
Mayor, as he states, relying on his
proclamation to keep away the whites,
and on the troops, which, as he states,
Gen. Baird had promised to send, to
keep the negroes in order. He fears
that the appearance Of the police
might overawe the Convention.
Mayor Monroe well knew that be-
fore the excited passions of the mob,
it would be as barrier Of straw to
fire; that no troops had been asked
for, and without the presence of po-
lice, violence was inevitable. When,
therefore, he withdrew and massed
his armed police, and on the breaking
out o. the riot, precipitated them up
on the scene, the Board are compelled
to conclude that he knew what their
action would be, and that he intended
the inevitable consequences Of his own
acts.
Finally the assailants obtain full
possession of the building. The ne
groes in the hiding are brought out
and dispatched; others perched for
safety on crossbeams and rafters arc
picked off like game by well-aimed
shots, the whites taken to the station
houses with blows and abuse, and at
last, just as the advancing bayonets
are seen to glisten on the Levee,
the 'rlot" IS over, for the lack of vic
TINS.
Whether the organization known
as brigade Association" which was
or d er ed to be dissolved by Gen.
Sheridan, was present as a body, or
merely by the common impulse of its
actual presence there can be but little
doubt. Many of the police were
members, and .-snch expressions as
There goes Hays's Brigade" damn
you, you are fighting Hays's Brigade :"
is all Hays's Brigade up?" mo;
If it had been not one would have es-
capped" plainly show VIII ere the
strength Of the supporting force to the
Police lay.
Of the further occurrences of the
day OF riot, the Board would respect
fully call attention to the brutal treat
ment, and almost inhuman neglect of

world and we find that she achieved
it through revolution and bloodshed.
The wars Of the Heptarchy, the Nor
man conquest,the contest of the Roses,
and the great Rebellion, were the
struggles out of which the fabric OF
English Constitutional law was reared.
Our own Constitution, though adopted
in peaceful convention, was yet the re-
suit of the Revolution of 1776; and,
Revolutions being the common father
of Constitutional changes and i'm
provements, strange indeed would it
be. if the Revolution of 1861, Revo-
luton in which the Revolutionists
have been Revolutionized, were to re-
suit in no progress in our Constitution
al law; which was ordained nearly
eighty years ago and adapted to the
civilization Of that age. At the time
the Constitution was adopted the coun-
try was pro-slavery; hence, the Con
stitution was pro-slavery. But now
that slavery through the war has been
abolished, the Constitution should be
made anti-slayery in all its features.
1t should be adapted to the new con-
dition of things; should be made to
provide in fullness for the rights of a
nation of Freemen. Hence the neces-
sity of those clauses in the new arti-
Gle defining citizenship and its rights,
and equalizing representation from
those States which have a population
among them, which they do not allow
to vote. The old pro-slavery Con

Misrepresentation Of the Radical
Press"

Under the above head the article
which we give below, appeared last
week in the Lyndon Union. From
the initials we infer it to be from the
pen Of Judge Cree, of Wheelock; mas
much as a short Time since he express
ed to us-a desire to see our paper, and
thinking the issue of the 2Sth, con
tanned some food good for men of his
particular political notions, we sent
it to him; and should have been will
ING to give his communication a place
in the Standard, had he sent it to us,
for we hold to free discussion in all
things, especially politics; and believe
that thereby much truth is elected.
Men, though they differ come to a bet
ter understanding on account of it
We copy the article entire, however
in order that our readers may hear
both sides. The only thing II o t
exactly right about it is, that the read
ers of the Union will only see the
points which the Judge makes upon
US, and not those which a full examin
alton of the question makes upon him
In the first place it is noticeable fact
that the Judge does not undertake tc
defend the plan Of reconstruction pro
posed by the President. The only
thing he says in its favor is to call il
the "Lincoln and Johnson plan," there
by intending of course to have it un
derstOod that the plan insisted upor
by johnson, was also the plan Of the
great and good Lincoln. 1t is true
the proclamations issued by Johnson
for the reorganization of the rebe
State governments are very similar
If not exactly like those issued by
Lincoln, during the war, in the case,

er words johnson used the form
drawn up by Lincoln; that is ALL

Judge. Let us see; Johnson's plal
is to admit the Senators and Repre-
sentatives, sent up from the rebe
States, at once to their seats; no mat
ter whether they can take the test oatl
or not. In fact, he thinks the test oatl
which requires every member to swear
that he has not aided or abetted thu

chievous. He says that those rebe
Representatives should be admitted
at once and allowed to help in the
work of reconstruction. And wher
Congress says, "Mr. President, this il
too fast, we must have guarantees from
those rebel communities before we LEI
them back, that they will not at some
! future time saddle upon us their wal
debt and repudiate ours. We mus
also have some understanding about
the negro population, suddenly made
free, and some arrangement about rep
resentation for them and about theil

of Johnson's plan to get mad, and de.
