National opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1865-1874, 1866-07-13

(Penn.) Telegraph wants Ben Wade
chosen President of the Senate and
Vice President of the United States
on the retirement of Mr.. Foster
from the Senate.
The Union papers are predicting
large majOrities for the State ticket
Ill Ohio. The Cincinnati CONNER
c'dt claims 10000 majority; the
0leVeiaha papers G0,O00, and the
Toledo Btade, not to be outdone.
says:
With this platform there il no
reason why the ticket Nominated
should not be elected by majority
of 10000, and eighteen sound I'm
ionists sent 10 the Fortieth Con
gress. 1t can be done. The party
is united and We believe fully appreci-
ates the magnitude of the interests
involved, and the necessity of vigor-
Gus action"
Mr.. Stewards compliments to the
Democratic party in his Fourth of
July letter are not reciprocated by
the New York World. 1t says:
:" We beg to assure him that his
fnlsome and Miss Nancyish praise is
appreciated at its true value. Dem
ocrats have seen too many speci-
mems of his lacquered ware to mis-
take even for gilt, much less for gold.
They remember not only his last
Albany speech, in which they were
abused, but the one preceding the
last, in which certain other parties
were praised; and they regard his
abuse and his praise as equally hol-
low. They would as soon be the OBJ
iccts of the one as of the other, his
tuls0me praise being as nauseous as
his unjust abuse is offensive"
A REMARKABLE SToRY.-Thc
Davenport, Ull) gazette contains a
startling narrative concerning II
murder which occurred in that vi
cinity in 1868, three years ago. and
the recent detection of the murderer
by the head of the deceased, which
had been preserved. and was pro
duced in court as evidence. 1t an
pears that one night in May, 1868,
two California emigrants, with Il
wagon and span of horses, stopped
at the house of a farmer in PoweS-
HEX county. While there it was
evident they were on bad terms, and
the younger, who was about eigh-
teen years old, showed marks of Il
severe choking which he had receiv-
ed at the hands of his companion.
\ few days after, the headlesS body
, of Il man was found in the woods
near by, and the same day the head
was discovered in the vicinity, still
in good state of prescrvation.-
| Various circumstances not necessary
| to recount, rendered it certain that
| the body was that of the Younger
l California emigrant, and that he
z had been murdered by the elder
T. The latter was pursued. but manag-
! ed to cvade arrest. I'm the mean
! time physician had taken the head
t and carefully preserved it in spirits.
' Recent events led to thefbcllef that
# a Young man named Frank Vincent.
Y of Cambridge, ILL.,. was the murder
L or, and he was arrested. 1t was
h proved i'll court that three years ago
he left Cambridge with his cousin,
: Claiborne Showers. for the West,
+ and after an absence of two Years or
G more. returned alone, denying all
G knowledge of the whereabouts of
t showers. The time agreed exactly
with he murder i'll Powcshiek
20 county, but the difficulty in the WAY
= of connecting him with the murder
% laid in the Identification Of the muir
a dcred body, For this purpose the
a. head that had been preserved was
!. produced, when numerous persons
d, at once recognized it as that OF
|, Claiborne Showers, The result was
that Vincent was held for trial.
i. STATE BANK BuLS.-There seems
g to be misapprehension in the pub
20 lie mind in regard to the State bank

IS of the recent action of the associ
IS ated banks. At the last meeting o
Is the banks on the subject, State banl
&c bills were restored completely t,
" their former condition, and the Ma
Il tional Bank of Redemption, as here

" and all the banks of Boston vii

re thus placing the whole matter as
IS. originally stood, and doing ava
of with all occasion for regarding tn
