It is o most significant fact that all or
nearly all the conservative Republican
sheets which endorsed the Presidents first
veto message, condemn, with moderation
and yet with decision, the second. In this
state, Of the nine Union papers which
supported the veto of the Freedmen's Blu
resu bill, but one, the Cincinnati Com
n~ereiaE supports the second veto. Three
or four others have articles on both sides
Of the question, of which the Toledo
Blade approaches most nearly to endors-
ing the veto, and the Cleveland Herald
next. The Chicago Journal the only
Union D in the Northwest which
supported the Presidents first perform
apce opposes the second. Among other
prominent papers which at first endorsed
the President but which are now unquali-
fedly opposed to his policy are the New
York Evening Post the Albany Epenins
Journal the Springfield Mass Rspubt-
can, the Buffalo Express the Pittsburgh
Commercial the Erie Dispatch and the
Philadelphia Telegraph And so every
where, as the ~treaehery of the President
becomes more and more apparent Unior
men are closing up their ranks, and
standing more and more firm and united
in opposition to Executive usurpation.

From the Jefferson Sentinel:

From the Jefferson Sentinel:
Mr.. Atkins, the Recorder, informs us
that a curious discovery has been made in
changing the Cemetery at Hartsgrove
Center. On opening a number of the
graves, the remains were found to be COM
plete in form, but changed in substance to
a meterial in appearance between chalk
and tallow, and closely resembling sperm
aceti. Mr.. Winslow, who was present at
the removal of most of the remains, says
be found at least a tenth Of them so
changed, some entirely, and some only in
part. The body of one cid gentleman
was found entire, with the wooden cloth
ing upon it changed with the body to this
substance. Many very interesting facts
of this kind were observed, details OF
which we hope to obtain. 1t may be well
here to remark, that this is not new thing,
and the change of bodies of men and ami
mails to this material, known as Gdipocere
has long been known to science. About
a century ago, in some of the cemeteries of
Paris, where bodies had been buried in
immense trenches, holding thousands, the
entire mass WAS foupd converted to Gdipo-
cere, and repeated discoveries of the kind
have been frequently made since-always
where the bodies were nearly or quite COW
cred with water in the ground, as we are
told was the case in Hartsgrove. 1t may
be counted upon, with some certainty, that
this will he the case in all cemeteries
where the graves fill with fresh water, and
remain filled, especiallyif the ground be
porous and springy.

FROM WARREN, OHIO.
Sports. Ssceharfne and SOciaI-A Mod
eIsugar Party i'm The Country.

Ell sugar Party in the Country.
Especial Correspondence OF the Cleveland LEADER-
WARREN, April 6, 1866.
Your correspondent has 8 weakness,
pardonable 1 trust, in one so young, for
warm sugar and society. Especially for
the sugar whereof speak, and the goodly
company that gathered to the feast do 1
make this honest confession. The city
has nothing to compare with it-operas,
theatre, concerts, receptions, dances, par
ties, all sink into insignifcance in the pres
ence eff a grand sugar party" on a sunny
April day, either in the woods, vocal with
blackbirds and bluebirds, or at the old
farm house, capacious enough for a hun
dred or more. Accordingly, Thursday sf-
ternoon, April 5th. found mi at the hospi-
table mansion of mine host, Harmon Aus
tin, Esq, heal Warren, Ohio. Some
seventy-fve ladies and gentlemen came
by special train from Warren, distant two
miles, and were landed opposite the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Austin. A few minutes
walk brought the happy company to the
scence of action at four P. NJ. The portly
General and the stately Judge lead the
advancing column, laughing, talking, re-
joicing in the balmy air and eager for the
fray. A few moments elapsed before the
charge was made.
First came the arranging of small
blocks of ice on a long table ~improvised
for the occasion. This presageda cool re-
ception, for the bubbling sweetness in the
huge kettle, but not for US. Armed with
~capacious saucers and wooden bowls the
guests advanced, only to be warmly met
by our host with ardent ladle-fulls Of
sugar eager to perish. First poured on
the ice, it tOased only to cane into that
bourne whence no sugar returns. If you,
Mr.. Editor, could have seen seventy-fve
of us in this sweet work, you would have
said we were Hsweet on" MI. Austin.
Then esme, after innumerable gallons
of the liquid glory had departed,
q sugaring-of, and taffee-pulling."
Ny pen fails to describe the closing sugar
scene. Old and young engaged in the
sport. Imagine it, 1 pray you. Then
came a bountiful lunch of such "good
things" as only country people know. AT
eight o'clock in the evening, through the
kindness of Mr.. j. H. Morford, Superin-
tendent of the Mahoning division of the
Atlantic road, a train was in readiness to
conduct the company back to Warren, free
of charge. All deported, supremely de-
lighted with four hours of as joyous merri-
ment and innocent sport, as mortals usu-
ally enjoy here below. Mr.. Editor, 1 am
enthusiastic, 1 believe, in sugar parties.
III go sixty miles to attend another. I'll
60 for making u host 8 judge, and as
for the skill, taste, and bounty Of his good
lady, let others sing her praise. r.

3 IA most conclusive proof of the sea-
worthiness Of the American iron-clAds is
afforded by the successful trip of the
Monadnock around Cape Horn en- route
for San Francisco. At last adviees she
had arrived at the coast Of Chill. She
had slready performed two-thirds of her
longand perilous voyage, whic3 involved
the trip down the coast of Cape Hatteras,
where she was tested in q tremendous
storm- gale so violent that that wonder
Of naval archisAture, the Vanderbilt
was driven far from her course,7and the
rounding of Cape Horn, the terror Of nav
igator1 and the region of perpetual gales,
in very heavy weather. According to the
account received, Captain Stoutley, Of the
gunbOat Tusearora, declares that the Mon
sdnock behaved better in the gale off
Cape Horn thanany wooden vessel-o Of the
feet. He says the storm was SO severe
that he had all he could do 10 handle the
Tascarora, but that the Monadnock could
have fought her monster guns at any
time during the height Ct the gale with
eass and safety, so steady was she-Tn
fact" TO quote his languagel ut would be
perfect madness fer any vessel to engage
her IN a heavy seawsy, for = gale isan ad-
vantage TO the Nonsdnoek ina fight"

CHARLES LAMB.
His Last Days Not What They Were
Represented to Have Been by His
Friends-His Friendship for Cole
ridge.

W. P. Fitzgerald thus writes about
Charles Lamb:
1t is sad to think that Lambs later days
were not of the calm and pleasant sort de-
scribed by his friends. A great tenderness
and delicacy, q friendly sensitiveness has
kept back from the account of Lambs
history much which concerned the horrid
specter which attended him all through
his life. We are led to believe that in
some time that great and dreadful trouble
had been softe1ed for him, and had, as it
were, faded out, and that the evenings of
his days had been calm and tranquil.
This, at least would be the impression,
reading his closing at Edmonton. But it
is said, and it is vouched for by good
authority, that not long before he died, he
and his sister had been placed at Enfield
in a house called Bay Cottage, with a wo-
man naned Bedford, who was accustom-
ed 10 take care of dersnged persons. 1t
is said that both required restraint and
that the of the place treated them
with cruelty, often locking up brother and
sister together in a closet during some OF
their fits. They are those who recollect
having seen Mary Lamb at 8 win
dow, tearing up a feather bed, and scatter
ing the feathers in the air. Fortunately
friends found out this pitiable state
of things, and Charles was removed in
time to Edmonton, where he could die in
peace. During that interval, his mind
seemed 10 be filed with but one subject.
1t always reverted to Coleridge, and in
the strsngest way-even humorously. BE
would interrupt the conversation with an
abrupt exclamation, $50 Coleridge is
gonel' On November 2lst, Eve weeks
only before he died, be was asked to write
something in friends album. "When 1
read the death of Coleridge,n he wrote, at
was without grief. It seemed to me that
ne had long been on the confines of the
next world-that he had q hunger for
eternity. But since L feel how great q
part he was to me- his great and dear spirit
haunts me. 1 cannot make a criticism on
men or books without an Intellectual turn
ing and reference to him. He was the
proof and tombstone of all my cogita-
lions. He was my Is years
old friend, without a d~issensiOn. Never
saw / his likeness o probably the world
can see again. Iseemed to love the house
he died at more ~passionately than when
he died
What was his mansion, is consecrated to
me a chapel" A more pathetic chime to
a departed friend was never sounded. He
seemed never to recover the blow.-R. P.

What uIinni. ThtnLa

We received a call yesterday from ].
Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. NJ. reports the Republican party of
Illinois as standing a solid unit in support
of the constitutional right of Congress to
determine the future status of the rebel
States, and to prescribe the conditions on
which the ex-rebels of those States shall
be permitted TO participate in the legisla-
tion ard government Of the National
Unicn. He says hat the only division Of
opinion among Republicans is in respect
to the present whereabouts of Mr.. A.
johnson, the majority believing that he
has checked mis- baggage to the Copper
head camp, and intends soon to follow it
thither the minority hoping that he has
not done SO yet and that he may still re-
trace his course and place himself once
more en- rapport with the great party of
freedom to which he owes his Office; but
all portions of the party agree that he is
found keeping very suspicious company,
and that it maybe safely affirmed that not
ten Republicans Of the 100000 in that
great State condemn his veto of the civil
rights bili,Rnd repudiate his reasons
therefor as unsound and untenable.-

pairing of obtaining even temporary re-
