men at work on the streets-not
for vagrancy-but for offenses COM
mitted against the city.
1t is such conduct on the part of
subordinate officers that make the
presence of the military o "blight-
ing curse" to the State. The mis-
representations of this Colonel
Young are covered by his acknow.
legement that the order went
further than he intended it to go.
We might believe this, did We not
know of letter he has written so
full of malice to the people of this
State, and so disrespectful to the
Executive and insulting to the dig
nifty of Mississippi, that the Gov
ernor was compelled to call the
attention of the man who presented
it, Mr. Osterhaus;) by a note de-
clining to receive it or notice 1t.
1t is the conduct of such men which
stirs up the bad blood; and it would
not only be beneficial to the service
they disgrace, but feeling Of great
relief would come over the people
if they only knew they were safe
from the official persecution Of such
men. When such men as General
Force leave us, they carry with
them our sincere respect and good
wishes. Such men as Colonel
Young gain our contempt, and their
departure from us is seasoned by
the curses of whole people.-Cla-
rion.

There was a spirited and bitter
discussion in the Ohio House of
Representatives, on Thursday, in
which the Democratic members
literally annihilated the Massachu.
setts side of that body. Some of
the speeches will appear as soon as
we can make room for them.
Mr. GADDIs made speech in the
Ohio House of Representatives, on
Thursday afternoon, in favor of the
proposition suggested by DOM
PTATr and introduced by Mr.. BAN
MING, to insult the soldiers by offer
ing to pay them for their services
with the confiscated lands of the
Southern people that can never be
reached, instead of giving them
whatit is in the power of the Gov
ernment to give them-either
money or lands which it owns. In
the course of his denunciatory re-
marks against Democrats and the
Democratic party, Mr.. GADDrs eu-
logized BEN. BUTLER, and substan-
tally repudiated the President of
the United States, in the face of his
resolutions endorsing the Admins
tration of ANDREW JOHNSON, which
his party friends refused to take up
and adopt on Wednesday.

Mrs. Gov. COx's Reception.

Mrs Governor Cox received her
friends in elegant style, on the
evening of the 7th inst, at the
Gubernatorial mansion. The Gov
ernor and Mrs. Cox never appeared
to better advantage than they did
on this occasion; and the company
was exceedingly pleasant and
agreeable. The beautiful and splen-
didly attired ladies, so irresistably
charming and fascinating, gave to
this Reception a brilliancy and an
elegance that were wanting on oc-
casions of this kind in years agone.
1t was all that could be desired.

1t took away the means to pay
them.
1t destroyed millions upon mil.
lions ofproperty.
1t gave the whites Of the North
a few million blacks to support in
addition to their own cripples, pau
pers and criminals made by the war.
Ithas filled the land with thieves,
robbers, murderefs anG tax collect
ors.
1t has made dishonest men rich
at the expense of the people,
1t has made the negro cost us
more than he once earned.
1t has exempted the wealth of
the nation from taxation.
1t sent men to war, paying them
large bounties and now taxes those
who return to pay these bounties
and all other expenses, letting
those who remain at home go free.
And all this war is the result of
abolitionism- 1.-The result of med
dliing with what is none of our
business---the result of interfering
with our neighbors---the result of
forgetting the wish of our fathers,
tampering with the Constitution,
and betraying Democracy as Judas
did Christ for a few pieces of silver.
Thank GoD that time is not en-
ded. The day will surely come
when the people will curse as men
never were before, the false rulers
and bigoted meddlers who still
seek to ruin the country, and,
while it will exalt democracy to a
higher position than ever before,
will denounce as traitors all of that
"loyal" class who to gain private
ends, still fight against the Union
and carry on their damnable war
ofhate against a brave, overpower-
ed people who would be our friends
but cannot have the privilege ex-
cept by submitting to degradation
at the hands of mad element of the
country which is its greatest curse.

Against Negro Suffrage.

A delegation of negroes waited
on President, on the 7th inst, and
ascertained distinctly that he is op-
posed to negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in the South.
Fred. Douglas proposes to appeal
to the people on the subject, and
the President is perfectly willing
that he should do so. The Presi.

Boyce and Grogan, the two MUIR
derers of Abram Deem, were hung
to-day about 1 o'clock P. M. At
the first attempt, both ropes broke,
letting the convicts fall to the earth
without causing death. They were
again carried upon the scaffold,
Boyce having revived sufficiently
to stand up, when stronger ropes
being adjusted round their necks,
the drop fell, this time finally.
They hung about twenty minutes,
part of the time struggling vio-
lently, as if dying Of strangulation.
A large crowd collected in the
city TO witness the execution, but
H. was no disturbance.

Terrible Calamity--Twen-
ty-seven Children Drowned
Beware Of Ice.

-BcWaFe OF Ice.
The Engineer of the Dayton and
Michigan Road yesterday learned
at Waupakonata, that twenty-seven
children were drowned in the res
ervoir at Celina, on Wednesday.
They were attending school in the
vicinity of the reservoir, and at noon
all the scholars but two-twenty-
seven in number-went on the ice
to slide, when it broke with them,
the whole party drowning before
help could reach them. Our in.
formant said his information was
reliable, and there is but little
doubt that this terrible calamity
occurred.
Just at this time the ice is not
safe, and parents and teachers
should exercise the greatest vigil
ance over their children and schol-
ars, who are permitted to 60 on the
ice.
