The Contest I'm tho Third Congress
aannor Infof.- .-lna


!. We yesterday published tue letter Of a
nnmlfer Of promlncnt gentlemen in the
Third dOongreseiOnal District who voted for
lincoln aIlt johnson In 1854 urging 0en-
eraI Dprlih Ward to stand the race for
Congress, Mr. Ward having also been nomi-
mated by the Democracy. We are glad 10
see this Union movement aud trust no
efforts will beleft uudoue by the Democracy
AMI the Conservatives 10 defeat the re-
election of Robert q. !Schencl to Congress.
He has rendered himself peculiarly Of
fensive and Objectionable 10 every Union-
loving aud patriotic American. Ills career
has brought odihm upon himself and dis
grace upon our State. His rule In dark aud
eorTypt days as Military Pro-COnsul In
Baltimore was characterized by a cruelty
and tyranny that was scarcely inferior TO
that of Butler In New Orleans. He con-
ceived II 10 be his special mission ~ de-
| grade aud oppress the nOncOmbathnts--
women aud children--Of his military dis
trict. There was nothing IN petty tyranny
too low for him 10 descend to- lie did not
scruple to order the arrest of nurses, who
We're carrying babies that had the forbidden
colors, red and white upon their garments.
| lie openly delighted la sending his spies
TO dog the footsteps of private gentlemen,
whose nnguarded words were carefully
noted down, and made the basis of punish
ment. He was great on flags, insisting that
they should be put even on churches,
where they were most inappropriate aud
unseemly. The narration OF his petty per-
sccutions would fill volume, aud will for
years be a subject of remembrance in Bal
timore. Utterly undistinguished in the
field of battle, he sought to make amends
by his vigorous war upon an unarmed pop
ulation. He played the tOady to the Ad-
ministration of Stanton, which found him
useful In doing such work as no honorable
man would perform. His career in Con-
gress has been worthy ofhis military ante
cedents. If there was a member of that
body who, more than another, rendered
himself a just object Of censure and re-
proach, il was Robert G.. Schenck. lie al
ways played the part OF the lowest ard
most unscrupulous partisan, and never in
any one instance rose above that role His
course of legislation has been that of the
narrow, fierce and vindictive partisan,
without one single generous or eunobling
impulse, and was devoid of any manly
characteristic. To beat him with General
, Ward would be great gain for the cOun-
try.

Chilled.

The Radical State Central Committee
aud several Of the Congressional candidates,
held secret meeting at Columbus on We'd
nesday, to fix things, If possible, and save
their mischief makers from the threaten
ing storm. They are chilled through, and
well they may be. The Statesman says
The judicious nominations the Democrats
nized the harmonious cooperation of the
Democrats and johnson Republicans in
Hamilton county, 1t was freely admitted
would render the success of Hayes very
uncertain; and Durbin Wards nomination
was a stunner, that It was feared would de-
feat Schenck. In this way, all the districts
were canvassed, and no encouragement
was drawn fron a survey of the entire
field.

Personal Observation.

The Western Mirror, published at Cam
bridge, Indiana, has the following from a
private letter, written by preacher ofAb-
clifton proclivities, who went from Iowa
down South. The letter was written to a
friend in Wayne County, Indiana, and the
extract furnished by him to the Mirror. 1t
reads:
''Society is In a dreadful condition. The
slaves, now free, are the worst set of vaga-
bonds that ever was known lurking about
stealing and starving, dying and getting
killed. After spending money enough
fighting about them to pay for every one Of
them, and send them TO Africa with a years
provision, and the loss Of amillion flives,
Il is now worse for black and white than il
was before the war commenced" af

If we omit them, they say we have nc

effect.
FIVE have in a few jokes; people say we
are rattlehead.
If we omit them, they say we are an old
fossil.
If we publish original matter, they damn
us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, men say we are
lazy fer not writing more and giving them
what they have not<read in some othe,
paper.
five give man complimentary notice
then we are censurod for being partial.
five do not, all the hands say we are a
greedy hog.
five insert an article that pleases the
ladies, men become jealous.
If we do not cater to their wishes, the
paper is not fit to have in the house.
If we attend church, they say it is only
for effect.
