Already the Shiny and crafty copper
head leaders of Floyd county, chuck
ling over the detection of President

that, by division in the ranks of the
Republicans, they shall be able to gain
control of the county and obtain office
and spoils. They even openly boast
that they can now obtain any Govern
ment appointment they may ask in
preference to Republicans, which may
be the case. But will the Republican
electors permit any discussions or di-
visions in their ranks, and thus
allow coppcrheads to slip into the
offices which the electors control
We think not. No present Fedora

The Presidents Speech.

A Washington correspondent says
that most of the reports OF the Presi

fully dressed up so as not to be toe
offensive to the scnsibilities of decent
people. The most accurate account is
published by The Washington CAr0nicae,
but even this does rot come up to the
truth. 1t does not contain the many
Interruptions by men among the
crowd. such as " Give it to them, An

Give them Hell. Andy" and similar
EXPLANATIONS. The Presidents man.

ident is really possessed with the idea
of being in danger of assassination,
and that this idea is disturbing bis
brain very considerably. OF course,
this Presidential hallucination is crea-
ting much amusement in Cong ression-
al circles, for the idea that Messrs
Stevens, Sumner, and Wendell Phillips,
should be conspiring for the Presidents

prcmely childish AS to modify the i'll
temper, which otherwise the hysteric
remarks of the President would have

Trichinosis in Illinois.

The Dixon, H.. Republican states
that on Saturday last man 10y the

township, sold dressed hog to man
living in the Shabona House. A
piece Of the meat coming incidentally
under the eye of DR.. II. j. Detmars,
he al once detected in the muscle an
innumerable number of insects, Of the
genus Entogoa, of which the tape

in Europe aud America. The man
Eggert was not satisfied to lose his
pork, but sold it at John SCOTS meat
market on Monday, for general dis

and DIR. N. j. Abbott and other phys;-
clans, on examining the insects
through a microscope, pronounced II

season. 1t passes from the stomach
to the muscles, when, from its rapid
natural increase, the unsuspecting

that of Eggert, is soon beyond the
reach of medical skill. 1t is said the

insect does not appear to be explained

Mrs. Swisshelm Guillotined.

Andrew Johnson has caused mrs,
lane G. Swisshelm to be dismissed
from a clerkship at Washington, Tor
using disrespectful language toward
his inebriate majesty in her newspa-
per the Reconstructioatst. Meanwhile
the unimpeachabIe Mrs. Cobb, who
processes to draw from pardon brok-
erage in a week a sum greater than
Mrs. Swisshelm would derive from her
salary in year, still has the eatree OF
the White House. Doubtless Mrs.
Cobb sustains the Presidents policy.
This is the first time an American

Itch Insect.

Through the politeness of DIR. j. w.
Smith of this place, we lately had the
opportunity of witnessing a lire itch
insect. With the naked eye it could
be seen to move, and upon viewing it
with a microscope it became very
formidable looking creature, with claws
sufficient to explain the terrible itch
ing sensation of those afflicted with
the itch. ScaJies and psora are the
more common names of the complaint
in medical works. The insect is COM
monty called acarus scabiei, sometimes
sarooptcs hominis. The existence of the
insect was not fully proved until 1884.
1t is said to be difficult, sometimes, to
find the insect, and hence many physi-
clans have doubted its existence, but
if there were no mistake in the source
from which the specimen we saw was
obtained, land DIR. Smith assures us
there was not, then we think its ex-
istence fully demonstrated. To the
naked eye it was hardly discernible,
and appeared like minute particle OF
white sand. We are assured that
while innoculation of the fluid from an
itch pimple or vesicle will not usually
cause the itch, the transplanting of the
insect is sure to communicate it. Al
the disease is always communicated
by contact of person, clothing, &c.
and is purely local, the proper treat
ment is evident. We wish that all
who have and some who keep the itch
could have had good look at the
creature exhibited to us. Proper at
tention to the state of the skin, as t.
cleanliness, will usually prevent tax
ing the itch, and is often sufficient t.
cure it.

A Quietus.

President Johnson received several
kilograms from copperheads and trail
tors in various parts of the country
endorsing his White House speech
and his veto of the Freedmen's Bureau
bill. These kilograms so pleased him
that he gave them to copperhead ed.
itor of Washington for publication,
and among them we find one from the
notorious Claggett of Keokuk. Upon
this Senator Grimes put quietus as
follows
Mr.. President, me to say
that despatch which is published in

ed to foreshadow the sentiment of the
people Of the gallant State of Iowa,

| To ANDREW JOHNSON.
President Of Me United Siotes:
Immense mass meeting held here to-day |!
Great enthusiasm One hundred guns Your
veto message and administration unanimously
indorsed
Mr.. Prcsidcnt,-I have reason to
know that that despatch was forward
ed to the President Of the United
States bya man by the name of Thorn
as w. Claggett, who, during the war
has been intensely opposed to every
war measure of the last Administra-
ton; and if, during the last three
years, he has given utterance to a 10y
al sentiment, it has certainly escaped
my knowledge and my hearing. So
intense has been his hatred to those
men who embarked in the war and
periled their lives in the defence of the
country, that the Indignation of the
people could not be restrained, and
some two years ago they went to his
printing Office and hurled his press in
to the river and yet he undertakes
to be the medium ct communication
to the President of the United States
of the sentiment of a portion of the
people Of the State of Iowa. Sir,
desire to say that, as one of her rep
resentatives, utterly repndiatc and
deny the capacity of any such man to
properly speak for the people whom
have the honor in part to represent.

A Washington correspondent says
that, few nights since, the President,
in response to the direct question OF
several Congressman. declared that he
was opposed to all constitutional
amendments until Southern members
were in their seats. and 80 the South
could have voice in the matter. lie
said the question Of representation was
small matter, and that the NORTH
could well afford to overlook the two
fifths advantage which the South now
have. because emigration and kindred
causes would soon remedy it without
Legislation. If the matter must be
changed at all, he was ia favor of max
ing the voting population the basis
He then asked how they proposed to
get an amendment through in the
South The reply was. in the same
way. Mr.. President. that you got the
constitutional amendment abolisliing
slavery through by little Presiden
tial pressure. Mr.. johnson replied
that he saw no similarity in the two
cases. In regard to the test oath, be
said he was inclined to think the old
form of swearing to support the Con
stitution was sufficient test of loyal

A Grand Trial.
l0tf

We see most of the leading N. Y. Dailes
have given very full and detailed reports of a
Grand Trial of Sewing Machines, such as has
never before been known in any country |;
More thorough, exhaustive and conclusive,
and on quite novel plan withal
1t appears that the Florence, as represen-
tative of the Lock-Stitch, or Shuttle Stitch
challenged the World to compare Sew
ing Machines. The Agent Of the Wilcox &
Gibbs Silent Sewing Machines at the place.
was one who accepted the challenge The
competitors were allowed to choose one judge
each, who, together should choose Others.
The competitors were then required to place
in writing, and present each point upon which
superiority was claimed. The trial proceeded,
and at the end of the five days, the Florence,
representing the Lock Stitch Machine, was
found to have sustained two points out of all
they had entered. The Wilcox & Gibbs,
which had to fight its battle alone, las no 9TH
err Machine takes, or can take its Twisted Loop
Stitchl presented thrty-five points of superb
ority over all Others, and upon summing mp,
every one of the thirty-fve points were sus.
tanned, and unanimously acknowledged ry the
judges, and the Wilcox & Gibbs was declared
to be completely and Overwhelmingly trium.
plant.
The conclusion of these eminent practical
judges seems TO have been endorsed, as we
learn, by Nmey-three First Premiums, in al
most every State, during the last season OF
Fairs. This must have been a large majority
of premiums offered, and hence, more than
those awarded to all other Machines combined.

Resolced, That this recent public attack up
on one of the honored and beloved Senators
of Massachusetts by the President of the Uni
ted States, in public speech in the City OF
Washington is an insult to the Common
wealth as unjust as it was undignified and dis
graceful, and calls for the indignant rebuke of
every pathetic citizen of that State to whose
sons the country is so largely indebted fol- the
salvation of the National capital, when those
who heard and applauded that attack were
traitorously plotting to plant the standard Of
treason upon its walls and to destroy the Con-

The Freedmen's Bureau Bill.

In view of the Presidents veto, the
following explicit statement by the ex'

interesting
"Thc Bureau Bill was originally prepared
by Gen Howard, and revised in consultation
with Senator Trumbull. IL wds then submitted
10 The President, who Examined IL mih considerable
care, and approved ii cordially
That is from letter dated Feb. IL,
seven days before the veto. 1t is a
matter of some interest to know whe.
Their this positive statement that the
Freedmen's bill was at one time ap.
proved by the President will be deni,
ed-or can be. lfhe approved it once
when did he change his opinion, and
why I'm confirmation Of the above,
we find the following statement from
the Chicago correspondent of the Bos.
ton Daily Advertiser:
"Gen. -, who holds high position In
the Freedmen's Bureau under Gen. Howard,
told M but a few hours since that he was pres
ent when the bill was read to the President,
presented by Senator Trumbull and Gen. How
ard The President then declared that that
was Just what he wanted, and if passed he
would sign 1t without delay. There is nc
doubt of the truth of this statement"
The public are entitled to the name
of that General, for the question is
too important to be decided on anony
nous testimony. Here arc two wit
ncsses, both likely to be well inform
ed, each testifying independently that
the President did at one time approve
the Freedmen's Bureau bill If tho
fact is otherwise, Senator Trumbull OF
Gen. Howard should state that they
are wrongly quoted When did thu
President change his opinion on TIN
bill, and why? 1t has been told u
that Montgomery Blair, the man whom
Lincoln kicked ont of his Cabinet, il
the cause of all these regeneration
of President johnson, and there ar
those who do not hesitate to declar
that the Blair family ought all to hav
been hung long ago.
