This Is putting forward the worst side Of
the case.
If the Coal Valley stock was worth par,
and the Frizzell note could be collected. we
should owe, according to the city books, ex.
aotly what the clerk reported, viz: S24, 547,
81.
If the fourteen thousand dollars outstand-
ing orders is an error, brought down from
DR.. Truesdale's administration, then ws
should owe only about ten thousand dollars.
But the safe calculation is that, the Coal

less and that there is no error In the item

This question, 60 frequently asked by per-

swered,-aud those who ask il might Know
at any time, without asking, by reading the
published report of the city clerk, or by 60

books. If they can't understand, BY either
of these modes, we do not perceive that Bail
ey Davenport is at fault-he is under no obil'
CATION, after having furnished them the iac!s
to furnish them brains to understand the
facts.

DIR. barnes and the South.

The following extract from a'discourse
which Rev. Albert Barnes, ID. d., of Phila-
delphia delivered to his people on last
Thanksgiving day, is so truthful and so
timely, that it deserves wide publicity
especially in consideration of the source
from which it comes:
hesitate not to say that, on the whole,
the conduct OF the South in the feelings
evinced on the termination of the conflict
has been such as to demand the confidence
of the North and to secure the admiration
of mankind. The surrender of armed
forces was so complete and entire; the ces-
sation Of hostiliti"s was so immediate and
universal; the acknowledgment that they
had been overcome was so prompt, frank
and manly; the readiness to return to the
Union has been so general and apparently
so sincere; the recognition of the fact that
slavery is extinct for ever has been so
wisely admitted as a fact, vast as are the
consequences involved, and as is the change
in their habits; the readiness to come un-
der the arrangements for collecting the
revenue has been so prompt; the disposi-
ton to resume commercial intercourse with
the great cities of the North has been so
marked; and the willingness to come into
the great arrangements to the Nation for
perpetuating freedom has been so general
that we see in this think, the return OF
the feelings of the best days of the Repub-
lie. There are XceptiOns-individual
but there has never been civil war closed
where there was less lingering animosity
or more willingness to unite again under
the same Government. Can we forget
when we think of what is in the Southern
bosom still, that long-cherished opinions,
feelings and customs DO not soon change
among a people? Can we forget how long
after the wars ofthe Roses" and after the
civil wars that resulted in the establishment
of the Commonwealth" in England on the
cessation of the forms of war, the feelings
that had been engendered fingered in the
bosom of Englishmen? Can we forget how
long after the revolution, the banishment
of James, and the accession of William anC
Mary, love for the "Pretender" fingered Ii
the hearts Ofa portion of that nation? how
firm was the conviction that he was The
rightful heir to the crown? how strong thu
hope thathe would yet come to the throne
Shall we blame our Southern brethren i
some similar feelings linger in thei
| bOSOms?"

Andrew johnson in 1862.

Soon after the appointment of Andrew
johnson as Military Governor of Tennessee,
he made speech in Nashville, which was
reported in the NdShUille Patriot of March
%, 1862 The speech was full exposition
to the people of that State of his political
opinions. Some extracts from it will show
that his present position is entirely consist
ent with the views and sentiments then eX-
pressed by him. He then said:
Z" In justice to the Free States, let me tell
you that they are prosecuting this war upon
no other principle than the maintenance of
the Constitution and the preservation of
the Union. | know what | speak-have
been in the Free States. They wish you
to submit to law. They come in the name
of the Constitution. and when obedience is
yielded war will be at an end. When this
is so welcome the Union hosts as patriots
and saviors. know what they come for
no other purpose than to re-establish the
authority of the Government and to rein
state the glorious symbol of liberty,
beneath which our fathers marched to bat
tie, that we might have Government
worth maintaining"
Here is his opinion of what constitutes
State:
81 believe that slaves should be in subor-
dination, and will live and die so believing.
What constitutes tate?-the political
body; not the most stately and magnificent
public edifices; not the grandest scenery of
the most luXuriant fields, but men, high
minded, honorable men, who know their
rights, and knowing, dare maintain them.
So believing, expect ever to stand-so,
too, the people of Tennessee will stand"
We present the proof that he then, while
battling the secessionists in Tennt ssee, had
just the same opinion of Sumner that he
now has:
"There is party in existence who want
dissolution and Southern Confederacy.--
Slavery is the hobby. Sumner wants the
Government broke. Abolitionists hold
that if slavery survives the Union cannot
endure. Sccessionists argue that if the
Union continues slavery is lost. Abolition
lists want no compromise; but they regard
peaceable secession as a humbug. The two
occupy the same ground. Why? Aboli-
ton is dissolution; dissolution is secession;
one is the other. Both are striving to ac-
complish the same object. One thinks it
will destroy, the other save slavery"

The Township and City Election
ON Monday Last.

The result of the election here as publish
ed elsewhere needs no comment 1t GER
tainly speaks for itself. Too much praise
cannot be bestowed upon the several Dem
ocratic candidates for theirlactive exertions
in bringing about the victory, nor upon the
Democratic and Conservative masses for the
noble rally they made at the polls. The rad
ical, revolutionary, Union-hating, negro
loving, money-squandering Treasury plum
dering loyal Leaguers" with their "iron-
clad oaths," which they obey rather than
the laws, have ''gone up" They are badly
beaten in the city, and in every ward in the
city--in the township and in every voting
precinct in the township. From Marshal
to Councilman, and from Justice of the
Peace to Supervisor, they have come far
short of electing single man.
We attribute the result as due in a large
degree, to the general dissatisfaction and
alarm caused by the unconstitutional and
revolutionary acts of the present Congress,
indicating, as they do, the most intense dis
unionism to be the soul of the radicals; and
to desire to sustain the President in his
efforts to reunite the States in the Union,
and restore peace, harmony and good will
among the people. In the next place, to
desire to rebuke the known extray-
agance, plunder and corruption that have
ever attended the official administrations
of these destructiyes. In the third place,
to general wish to rebuke their in
tolerance and prosecuting spirit. 1t
Is known that they are controlled by a
secret oath-bound political society, which
began by decreeing the prescription OF
Democrats socially, and In business, while
even in courts Of justice, official oaths were

the very laws as mere implements to per

san friends. Missouri like, to charge O. po-
litical opponent was to convict, while

The returning wave of good ard just
sense Is sweeping all that away. The Pres
ident has wisdom enough to see this, and
has shaped his course accordingly. Now
it is for us to maintain our ascendancy
here by deserving success.
Let us use all necessary economy, save
the peoples money wherever we can--in
appointing officers, make no choice OF un-,
worthy men, and in all things never fail to
remember that Others have rights and In
terests to be protected as well as ourselves.
No partisan magistrates-no system of get

using of them to persecute political oppo-
nents, and to shield political friends. But
we have not the time or space for extended
remarks-we, however, can not close with

The .sAricIlina.v

[From the New York Times.l
The fact that some half dozen persons in
Europe have been attacked with disease
which some savans have ascribed to a dis
ease in pork, is receiving more considera-
tion from the public than it is entitled to.
In the cases referred to the chief complaint
was that the pork was not sufficiently cook
ed, which is detrimental to health; and
there are ten cases of disease arising from
vegetable food to one caused by animal
food. Potatoes, unless properly cooked,
are to some extent poisonous in their ma
ture.
Pork is the most healthy animal food next
to good beef. Mutton and veal are much
less digestible, and it is the experience of
every one that they have caused aggravat-
ed illness.
The good health of our armies when ly-
ing.in camp, ted almost exclusively upon
pork, is Just testimonial to its healthiness
as an article of food. Therefore, people
NAV dismiss their fears, and cease to aid
the speculators, who are making money by
II cans of the excitement that has been
created.
We never had better corn with which to
fatten hogs than this year, and the prevail
ing distrust is absurd.

yer of New York city, who enjoyed the
Confidence and patronage of eminent men
of wealth in his extensive practice, some
twenty years ago, died a few weeks since
in Tuscany, Italy, whence he fled with
half a million of dollars belonging to his
clients. In purchasing the "Metropoli-

Stewart, the dry goods prince, Burrows
acted as attorney for both parties, prepared
their papers, received the cash, and. with

To al No. Dell.

The great issue before the people Is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and a
consolidated despotism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
self-government which our fathers enjoy
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented by a ma
jority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and beneficent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight Of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency-
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
dition of a county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp Of
the Malignants. d''l i
