Don,t Denounce or IndOrse Either

The Cincinnati Commercial says "it Is
about even between President and Con-
gress, and it does not see that it is de-
manded of the Union men Of Ohio to de-
nounce or indorse either. A sincere and
intelligent man, acting independently Of
partisan considerations, would hardly ap-
prove or disapprove of Congress or the
President, without large margin for quail
flying explanations"
Plausible, amt it? What does it all
amount to, plainly stated This: don't say
anything about either Congress or the
President, in your conventions, OH ye OF
Republican politics, lest it frustrate you IN
the scheme of re-electing the men VINO
have consorted with and followed the lead OF
STEVENS, SUMNER & Co., who are to be rep
resented by the stool-pigeons as played
outn until after the election, when the Radi-
calls will claim that their policy was indorsed
by the people. If the course OF Congress
has been such that "a sincere and intelli-
gent man, acting independently OF party
considerations, would hardly approve
"without large margin for qualifying
explanations" how can he vote for the re-
election of the Radical members who made
the course of Congress thus objectionable
and thereby indorse them most unquall-
fiedlyP Is this playing fast and loose never
to ceaseP About what time in the worlds
age are we to have reformation in Con-
:ress, if journals that play the Conservative

Arrest Of a Blind MAN.

Quite an excitement was created last
evening on West Rich street, by the we'll
known blind perambulator of the city,
commonly called "Bill Howe" From some
real or supposed ground of offense, he COM
menced stoning adwellIug with considera-
BILE vim, as though he meant to demolish
some body or some thing. A large crowd
of men and boys soon gathered to the scene
Of Bills operations. But these were soon
put an end TO by the police, who came along
and took "Bill" to the station house.

YESTERDAY, about the middle of the af-
ternoon, when the heat was most intense, a
wagon broke down in the street. opposite
the Court House, owing to the detachment
of one of the forewheels from its axle. A
natural philosopher who saw the sudden
collapse of the vehicle, remarked that il
was undoubtedly occasioned by coup du
soleiL or sun-stroke. Whether the cause
assigned was adequate to produce the catas-
trophe, the reader must determine for him

Fire

Ap alarm of fire was sounded at half
past one o'clock on Wednesday night. The
fire was found to have caught in frame
building on the northwest corner of North
High street and Hickory alley, owned by
John Bowman and occupied as a grocery
by Thomas McNair. 1t was totally con-
sumed with its contents, being constructed
of the lightest materials and not plastered,
and with nothing to resist the progress OF
the flames.
The fire soon communicated to the ad-
Joining building on the north, which in fact
was on fire almost simultaneously with the
other. This building was also owned by
John Bowman, and occupied by Mrs. Hizer
as confectionery. A Aportion of the frame
was saved, and its contents were mostly re-
moved before the building was on fire, by
the effotts of Chief Engineer, Col. Marrow,
and Police Officer A. Hayes.
The most northern building in the row
of three frames, occupied by VIM. Holmes
as paint shop, was saved. All the above
parties were more than amply insu ed.
The Fire Department was promptly on
the ground-the Gay street engine throw
ing two streams of water on the fire with
such force as to force the roof off the burn
ing building. Great credit is due TO the
Department for its exertions, as Its en-
ployes worked like veterans, for such truly
they are.

A menn Thief.

At pleasant little party, few evenings
since, at the residence of a we'll known cit-
izen of Columbus, just as the ice cream was
about to be served to the guests, it was dis
covered that a contemplate thief had walk
ed into the dining room, and had stolen al
most all of it out of the "freezer." Bold
ness, meanness and impudence were all
combined in this thief.

a GLOOMY FoREBoDINa.-Dr. j.. F. An
drews, senior editor of the Macon Georgia
Citizen, now on visit to ihe North, writes
the following, among other things, of date
Octoter 20, to his paper. The Doctor is no
scnsationalist, and what, therefore, so
sobcr-minded man as he may say, should
challenge the r,ost serious consideration.
Right here, observes the Griffin Herald, lot
us say, for fear Of being misunderstood
that wc hope the South, guarantee or on
guarantee, never will pass the "constitution-
al amendment" even if tho act keeps
her out of tho Union for the next five hun
cred years. But to the extract:
"With reference to the action Of the South
OH the constitutional amendment TO bc subs
mittcd to their consideration, have this to
say, rs my opinion-not my wish-.that We
will have TO swallow tho bitter draught to
the dregs, Or content ourselves with taxation
without representation for, perhaps, years
to come / With this view of the subject
without intending to advocate tho adoption
Of the amendment-it were perhaps best to
let things take their course. Could. the
South have any guarantee that no more
would be required of her than that now pre-
scnted IL would perhaps be best to yield to
tho imperative circumstances of the condi-
tion, as has been dono before, and submit,
with tho best grace we con, to tho exactions
and humiliations imposed on o down -trodden
people,"

describe the lamentable condition Of Huck-

The church was used by CROMWELL troopers

there now. Should q shower Of rain como
on during the service, q portion of tho scan
