Wheat I'm Minnesota.

The papers of this growing young State
Of the Northwest have been compiling in
formation as to the amount of surplus
wheat there was on hand at the principal
points within the State awaiting shipment.
The resultof their inquiries shows an ag-
gregate of 2s9i,O00 bushels. OF this sum,
nearly one-half was in store at Red Wing,
Hastings and Winona, points on the Missis-
sippi. The opening of the river to st. Paul
on the 10th, was a joyous day to the holders
of the great cereal. During the early part
of spring wheat could be bought in the
Minnesota Valley at from sixty to eighty
cents. Her railroads now in course of con-
struction, will, when completed, give the
farmers better prices.

Truth Fifty Spoken.

The New York Times Republican) says
the proper designation of the report agreed
upon by STEVENS Obstruction Committee,
would be 'a plan to prolong indefinitely
the exclusion of the South from Congress"
The World (Democrat) says in order to ex-
press the purpose of its inventors it ought
to be labelled ian infallible plan for pre-
venting the South from voting in the
Presidential election" 1t very truthfully
adds that the plan is not honestly proposed
that it is not offered with expectation of
its acceptance, but only with the design of
making the South seem to reject offers for
reconciliation.

The Gnme of the Radicals.

The radical Republicans. encouraged by
their success In eiecting STOCKTON, VooR-
HE'S, BROOKS and BALDWIN from their
seats in Congress, are intent upon follow
ing up this proscriptive course, in order TO
perpetuate their power.
SUMNER Is trying TO expel GARRETT DA-
WIS from the Senate for words spoken In
debate; for saying that il measures were TO
be adopted to change the character of our
Government to make it a despotism instead
of a republic, he should be an enemy of
the new order of things. SUMNER himself
has been disunionist at heart for quar-
ter of a century. He was all the time a
friend Of GARRIsoN's idea that the Union
should be divided-that "freedom should
not be leagued with slavery" and few
years previous to the war, the New York
Tribune published whole columns of argu-
ments and statistics to prove that it was for
the advantage of the North TO separate
from the South.
The Southern States being out of Con-
gress, these disunionists mean to keep them
out. They have no idea that the Union
shall be restored. They are happy over the
dismemberment of the Union, and they are
rejoiced mt the condition of things which
enables them to govern those States with
an arbitrary hand, giving them no voice in
the laws which not only govern, but OPP
press them.
1t is this vital issue which separates the
President from Congress-that brings the
Democratic party to his support, and arrays
the great mass of the Republicans against
him. ... .n Ts.I. .,r-

The $35O,OOO Bank Robbery {!


The Wheeling htelIigencer, of the Both,
gives the following particulars of the man
ner in which the National Bank, mt Cadiz,
Ohio, was robbed, on Saturday morning last.
We may prefatorily say that three of the
party with some Sl50,000 in their posses
sion, have been picked up;
ut appears that for several days past,
(ever since the attempt to rob the bank in
WellSburg) some suspicious individuals
have been lettering around CadiZ, and they
have been watched upto Saturday evening,
when it was thought ineXpedient TO watch
them any longer. They had made frequent
visits to the bank and presented very trif-
ling business. About two o'clock yester-
day morning these strangers, six in num-
Der, proceeded to the residence of the cash
ier of the bank, called him out of bed, and
when the door was opened they seized the
cashier, "buckcd and gagged him, and
then demanded of his wife the keys of the
bank. threatening her unless she immedi-
ately produced them. As matter of course
the lady was terribly frightened, and gave
up the keys, when she was gagged and Sc
cured, and the husband and wife were both
left unable to give any alarm. The robbers
then started to the bank, which is some dis
tance from the cashiers residence, aud un-
locked the door and entered, and caught
the watchman in the bank, and "bucked
and gagged" him, and proceeded in "bus-
iness-like" manner to examine into the
financial status of the institution. The
watchman could hear all their conversation,
and indistinctly saw them. A portion OF
them were dressed in soldiers clothes.
They had some difficulty in unlocking the
vault door. one remarking 'that id wo-
man has given the wrong keys after all,
but finally the door swung on its hinges,
when the contents of the bank were at the
mercy of the thieves. The first 'papes'
| their modest hands fell upon were United
States seven-thirty bonds to the amount OF
three hundred thousand dollars, the thiei
who lifted them eXclaiming, MY Cd!
these are the papers we want" and they
took them. They then made descent
upon fifty thousand dollars in green
backs-and took it. They pitched into
the silver and gold, scattering the
former over the floor; but specie
was too heavy tor them to carry, and we
supposed they considered the fluctuation
of the gold market and upon the whole
they concluded to leave it. The tota
amount stolen from the bank was between
three hundred and fifty and three hundred
and sevcnty-iive thousand dollars. Before
they left the bank they locked the watch
man in the vault for security" An alarm
was soon after given. and several gentle
men Immediately left Cadiz for this city
The robbers had cut the telegraph wires il
two places when they left. They came to
ward Alexandria. and when near that plac,
took possession of n hand-car on the z. G. 4
lC. Railroad, and left it near Smithfield'
Station, taking to the woods. rs their foot
prints indicated.
If any of the rascals escape from tina
"wooden country" with so many peopl
hunting them down, they will have to play
a shrewd game.

parts of the Sonth. We copy from the

PrettyIstory spoiled.

When the Reconstruction Committee
produced its abortion, the lying telegraph,
as usual, reported it as the healing wax that
was to bind together all the discordant ele-
meuts of the broken abolition party. The
lie was transparent on its face. But the
proof of t Is coming fast. First we have
the news Of Cabinet meeting, published
by authority, and we learn that the Presi-
dent and all his Cabinet but DESN1soN and
HARLAN denounced the scheme. Mrs. DEN
N1soS, as usual, hemmed and hawed in her
usual style. Mr.. HARLAN was quiet and
said nothngl Wise fellow Next we hear
that BNGHAM and BOUTWELL,, two members
of the Committee who Joined in the report,
have given notice that they shall offer
amendments to the bill when it comes up
in the House. That will be equivalent to
its death. 1t is one of those delicate little
humbugs that breath overthrows, and
can't stand amendments.
Lastly, comes the National IHteliigeHcer.
in the confidence of the Presidential paper
whose editorials he frequently superyises.
Hear how it thunders:
ODOcT llt HchulllS VI LhN ~ B'it w WV
Star Chamber Committee, Mocking In
suit to the Popular intelligence" that
paper gives us Il column and a half which
we would be glad to publish entire, but we
must be satisfied with some choice eX-
tracts:
"Mr. stevens. or the Star Chamber cabal,
having mt last heard, or dcigned to heed,
the Thunder tones of numerous Republican
presses for development of his or its pol
lev, has. after niORstrOuS incubation of five
weary months, hatched its egg for propa-
eating its hcartlcSs species. but has not.
unlike some of the unreasoning of Gods
creation, the grace to shuttle off its mortal
coil. 1t lives to plague torment and OPP
press the people" &c.
The people have asked of Mr.. Stevens
bread. lie has given them stone. They
have asked for meat. He has given them a
serpent
I'VE have the report at last. Does it
abate anything of the worst features of that
Canatical hate that has developed itself
throughout the session like the uprisen and
Kissing crests of nest, of serpentsr On the
contrary it combines the worst forms OF a
persccuting and proscriptive tyranny"
That will do for to-day! We might as
well expect oil and water to mix as to see
any union between radicalism and the hon
est mass of the people, or their honest lead
ers, who really desire the establishment OF
peace and the perpetuation of our free in
stitutions under the Constitution.

cy-A few days ago, the Chicago Times

CB-A few days ago, the Chicago Times
said:
"When the republican martyr Mr.. Lin
coin. doomed to exile the democratic mar
tyr.' Mr.. Vallandigham. we Thought one
GOOD and great man ought not thus to en-
force the actions of another good and great
man simply because the writ of hdbeds
corpus was suspended. As the democratic
martyr was doing more for the suppression
of the rebellion than any other civilian in
the nation-the rebels themselves being
witnesses-we thought it impolitic as well
as arbitrary and unconstitutional to compel
him to dcsist from his labors."
On this the Toledo Commercial remarked
as follows:
'sTrue, Mr.. Vallandigham did great deal
toward suppressing the rebellion. by ms
boldness. or rather rashness, he made mani
fest the design of the Democratic party
The Government, thus apprised of what
was poin0 on in the reasonable circles anC
conciayes that were being held all over the
North, was able to checkmate the schem'
ers."
To which the Times adds; "Supposing
this to be true, if he was doing great dea
toward suppressing the rebellion, why wa
he banished? The Commercial does no
dispute that the Democratic martyr like
the Republican martyr is a great anC
good man. This is much to concede. 1
shows that the bitter feelings engcndereC
by the war are passing away. We vii
yield everything we can consistently yielt
in commendation of Mr.. LINCOLN, but WI
don't wish to be beaten on martyrs Ou
most determined opponents will acknowl
edge the propriety of asserting the claim
of our own. Should they be challenged

Expurgatory Test Oaths.

DUDLEY FIELD, Esq, in an argument be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States. at Washington, on the unconstitu-
tionality of the test oath embodied in the
Consultation of Missouri, made the follow
ing reference to English history:
..England pesscd through all her changes,
from the Plantagenets to the Sovereigns OF
the House of Hanover; she swung 10 allu
fro I'm the throes of bloody and cruel revo-
lutions: she saw her kings beheadedi or de-
throned, dynastics taken upor laid ASIDE;
governments of kings, parliaments and iord
protectors, and desolating armies sweeping
over her island, without ever, so far rs can
discover. subiecting the vanquished to th'
injustice of erpWgdtory odths."
1t is understood that the court holds the
Missouri test oath to ba unconstitutional
though the decision will not be formally
announced until the court meets in Dccem'
ber next.

HoUsEMAN was murdered, near Pittsburg,
last week by another, named THARwELL.
The latter has confessed that he and the
murdered mans wife had, several times,
tried to poison him, but failed. On the
night of the murder he took HoUsEMAS's
gun, placed the muzzle of it to his head,
and shot him when asleep, his wife stand

put the rope around his neck herself, at

Democratic Mass Convention.
SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1896.

The Democracy of Montgomery County
are hereby requested to assemble i'm Mass
Convention, at Beckel Hall. in the City OF
Dayton, on SATURDAY, THE 18TH DAY
OF MAY. 1866, for the purpose of appoint
ing Delegates to attend the Annual State
Convention of the Democratic Party, to be
held In Columbus, on THURSDAY, THE
ATH DAY OF MAY, A. ID. 1866, to put in
nomination Candidates for the several
State Offices to be filed Mt the ensuing Oc-
tober election. ..
Montgomery County is entitled to eleven
delegates, according to the basis of repre-
sentation.
The issues before the people are of the
most important character. Among these
may be mentioned the speedy restoration
of our Federal Union, with all the rights,
equality, and dignity of the States unim-
paired, but which is now unhappily pre-
vented by faction of vile demagogues and
malignant traitors, who seek to cover their
guilt under the euphonious title of Union
men; and yet, by force of numbers, DENY to
eleven States of this Union. the right OF
representation, thus adopting the spirit and
doctrine of disunion tself. They are seek
ing to reduce these States to mere depen-
dencies, to place their citizens in state OF
tutelagc, and to exercise a a tyranny over
them, in denying to them the right of sell
government.
These high-handed usurpstions need to
be heartily rebuked by the tue patriots OF
the country, and the lovers If Union and
Constitutional liberty. From such a CEN
tralized despotism, in the hands " fanat-
ical and powerful faction, no rea liberty
no wise government, and no real lnion can
proceed, or be preserved. Let ever citizen
who is opposed to the schemes e these
conspirators, malignauts and destrlctiyes
now in the so-called Congress of the Vnited
States, and who cherishes the institutions
of our fathers, the principles of trueree-
dom, the choice blessings of civil liberty
who appreciates the benefits and nece,si-
ties of local State Government; who ne
veres the Constitution of his country ami
who is opposed to negro suffrage and equal
ity, and all the abuses of power which havt
characterized the past five years of our Va
tional history, be in attendance.
BY order of the Democratic Centn
Committee. Il. THOMSON, Chm.
