Thad. Stevens Resolution In The
HOuga


The scene in the House on Tuesday, on
the introduction of Thad. Stevens resolu-
ton is thus described by the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
eidJ:
In presenting this resolution, Mr.. Ste
vens spoke about five minutes, and said
that there had been an earnest investiga-
ton by the Committee until Yesterday
about the condition of Tennessee, to see
whether they could admit the State to re-
presentation; but since yesterday there
has been a state of things which had in
duced the Committee to consider it wholly
out of their power to proceed further with
out surrendering a great principle, and
without surrendering the rights of this
body to the u%surpation of another power,
(meaning the President) He demanded
the previous question, and refused to al
low debate, whereupon there was a great
scene of confusion and excitement.
Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, shouted
above the din that the attempt to pass it
under the gag law was an act of tyranny
and despotism. He was called to order
from ali parts of the hall.
The Democrats then resolved to force
the Republicans to yield by physical ex-
haustion, and they moved to adjourn, to
excuse members from voting, and by call
ing yeas and nays. They consumed
sever hours in this proceeding. AT five
o'clock the Democrats proposed a COM
promise of one hours debate on each side
when a vote should be taken.
MI. Schenck, of 0dio, seemed to reflect
the views of the majority when he de-
clared there could be no compromise but
the resolution. During the
there were numerous exciting
scenes. Little or no debate was allowed.
When VOORHEES, attempted to announce
that the Senate had sustained the Presi-
dent, his voice could hardly be heard
above the shouts of order from the Re-
publican side. When the vote wvs
brought over to the House, the members
in crowds and dissected it.
While the monotonous call of the roll
going on, at 1870 P. NJ, it was evident
hat the opposition could hold out no
onger, and Mr.. Eldridge announced that
t was impossible to resist such a majority.
A vote was then had, and the resolution
used with only forty votes against it.

Upon Thursday morning last week
Gideon Il. Bostwick, eldest son of the late
Daniel B. Bostwick, of Rootstown, a young
mar nearly twenty years of age, was sud-
denly killedOn the Franklin Branch of the
A. & G. w. r. R. Young Bostwick was
a fireman upon a freight train, having
been employed on the road for about three
years. The accident happene at 7:25 A.
M. The locomotive upon going around a
short curve being thrown from the track
by an accumulation of ice, was, with the
tender precipitated into French Greek.
There were three persons upon the loco
motive, Hiram Yonts, the engineer, Bost-
wick the fireman.. and a brakeman. The
engineer and brakeman jumped off, the
former being entirely uninjured, the latter
sustaining a severe bruise upon one of his
hips. Young Bostwick was unable TO
jump in time and was carried into the
creek in the tender, which Immediately
sank in deep water. The unfortunate
man wasplunged under the ice, one of his
legs being caught between two heavy
blocks, he was borne down by a swift cur
rent and thus drowned. After considerable
exertion the body was recovered and
brought home to Rootstown for interment.
The tragic death of Daniel B. Bostwick
by drowning in a well in August last is
well remembered, and the later death of
his eldest son in a similar manner, plunges
his family and relatives in a deeper grief
and more poignant affection as the double
calamity falls upon them.

On Wednesday morning we gave our
readers the names of the eight Republican
turn-coats in the Senate who abandoned
their principles at the beck Of the execu-
i've, in the suggestive prominence Of
black capitals. We have a corresponding
OF
those members elected as Republicans who
voted against the resolution Of the recon-
struetion committee, reported by Mr..
Stevens on Tuesday, which reads as
follows:
Resolved, That in order to close agita-
ton on the question which seems likely to
disturb the action of the Government and
10 quiet the uncertainty which exists in
the minds of the people of the eleven
States which have been declared in insur-
r~ection, no Senator or Representatives
shall be admitted into either branch of
Congress, from either Of the said States,
until Congress shall have declared such
States entitled to such representation.
The resolution was carried by los ayes
20 40 noes. Seven Republicans voted
against it. Here are their names
HENRY j. RAYMOND of New York,
ROBERT 8. HALE OF New York,
CHARLES L. PHELPS Of Maryland,
THOMAS Z. NOEL of Missouri,
GREEN CLAY SMITH of Kentucky,
GEORGE H. LATHAM of West Virginia,
KILLIAN ". WHALEY Of West Virginia.
These seven gentlemen constitute the
Presidents party in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, as the eight Senators already
named constitute that party in the Senate.

me RespOnse Of the People.

The news of the veto message has
awakened throughout the North a feel
ing of indignation in every loyal breast,
only equalled by that of joy manifested
by every Copperhead. A wave of fame
has swept across the land from Maine to
Minnesota, kindling in the breast of every
true Unionist a just anger at the desertiOn
Of the President, and a high resolve,
that notwithstanding his opposition, TIE
viii of the people shall be done, and right
and justice shall triumph. The extracts
from the press of the country, which we
have published and shall continue to pub
lish, are the PEOPLES response to the
President. That response is all that
could be expected or desired. The
Copperhead prints are Of course jubilant,
for they regard Mr.. Johnson's course as a
desertion to their party. A few papers,
whose proprietOrs are pensioners on the
government, like the New York Tunes
and the Cleveland Herald, are ,"crying
peace where there is no peace" and en-
d avoring to construct an impossible com
promise-to bridge a bridgeless chasm.
But the great mass of Republican journals,
the true opponents Of the sentiment of the
Union masses, refuse, with an indepen-
denee worthy of American citizens, to
submit to the one-man power which the
President is attempting to exercise. They
recognize the Importance of the issue and
they give forth no uncertain sound. Pres
ident or no President, they stand for free
dom and justice. All hail to the indie
pendent and outspoken Union press of
the free North
Tho issue is fairly made up between the
President and the C~opperheads on the one
hand and the Union masses on the other.
1t is this: Shall the traitors of the South,
lately in armed rebellion, and still rebetlious
IN spirit be Immediately made the control
ling posoer IN tie government Shall we
imperil the Union, justice, the right Of the
loyal people of the South, u " safety,
and the very existence of republican in
situations for the sake of a so-called mag
nanimity and generosity to the assassins
who have attempted the life of the Repub-
hc2 This is the question on which the
President has broken with his party. On
that question let us go to the Union-loving
and secession-hating masses of the North,

p~ublicanism and liberty, as we believe in,
and because we believe in, the justice and
Snnipotence of GoD.

The Hog

This disease has swept off thousands of
hogs at the West, and in some of the
Southern States. 1t has lately appeared in
some of the counties in Virginia, and
made desolate work among the swine. The
animal may appear well in the morning,
but during the day its neck swells, and the
next morning it is dead. The disease has
been thought to be incurable; but the fol-
lowing is recommended as an effectual
remedy, if it is promptly used.
Make six or eight missions from one to
two inches long, through the skin along
the neck, where the swelling is the greatest.
Then put in these incisions as much zorro
sive sublimate as you can hold on the point
of your pen knife, spreading it on both
sides of the cuts. This application coun-
teracts the internal Inflammation in a
few minutes an improvement is precepti-
BILE. Let the animal have plenty of fresh
water to drink. Hogs are seldom attacked
the second time. As the disease is conta-
gious, and often proves fatal to entire
herds, medical aid should be quickly ad-
ministered, and the diseased animals kept
