What We Want.

We want justice; we want white man
in Louisiana or Mississippi TO have just as
much representation in our national coun-
ellis as white man in Massachusetts or
Wisconsin. We want a negro in the south
to stand on the same footing as negro in
the north Instead of the war resulting in
the south gaining power, ard giving them
more advantage over the north, we want it
to result in them losing power and the north
being placed on equal footing with them.
Our position and claim may be stated as
follows: The house of Representatives is
composed of a fixed number of members
24i. Of these, before the war, the Free
States were entitled to 166, and the Slave
States to IS. In the Slave States, three
fifths of the slaves were counted in the
basis Of representation but those slaves
being now free persons, must of course all
be counted, unless the constitutional pro-
vision bearing on that point is altered
This would give the south an increase of
sixteen votes in Congress and the electoral
college, which votes must of course be de-
Quoted from those Of the north. The
south would thus have 16 votes more, and
the north 16 votes less-equal to totalloss
to the loyal states of 80 votes
To further illustrate our position we will
present the following table from the Gin
cinnatti Gazette. 1t is table of popula-
ton and representation in Indiana as COM
pared with four southern states. The
first line is the white population; the sec
ond the negro population; the third is the
representation aoithout the amendment pro-
posed by Congress, and the fourth the

ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-On Friday, August
oath, young girl aged about seventeen,
by the name of Harriet Green attempted
to commit suicide by taking strychninc.
She was living with family by the name
of Bowers, who reside in Wingville, Grant
county. 1t was some hours after she had
taken the poison before the discovery was
made, and for long time her life was dis
paired of, but from the persistent admins
tering Of medicine to counteract the effect
of the poison, She was brought around and
her life saved.
Since her recovery she has been exam
ined on charge of attempting to poison
the family with whom she resided at the
same time that she tried to end her own
wretched life.
1t appears that some meat had been
cooked for the family, but from some cause
was not used, but was thrown into the
slop bucket and given to the hogs, who ate
it. Shortly after, three of them were
siezed with severe spasms, Of which one
died, with every indication of being poi
soned. 1t was opened and the meat found
in its stomach, from which it was sus-
pected that poison had been put in the
meat. The girls account is that after
taking her own dose, she dropped the
spoon she had used, into the slop bucket,
which containing some poison, might have
caused the death of the hog. We have
not heard what has been done with the
miserable girl. No cause is known or
given for her attempt either on her own
life or that of any member of the family.

MESSRs. IIosTETTER & SMITH:
Gentlemen: 1t gives me pleasure to add my tes-
tmonial to those of others in favor of your excel
lent preparation Several years of residence on the
banks of q southern river and of close application
to literary work, has so thoroughly exhausted my
nervous system and undermined my health, that i
had become martyr to dyspepsia and nervous
headache recurring at short intervals, and defying
all known remedies in the materia medica. 1 had
come to the conclusion that nothing but total
change of residence and pursuits would restore my
health, when friend recommended Hostetters
Bitters. | procured a bottle as an experiment; it
required but one bottle to convince me that at last
| had found the right combination of remedies
The relief it Afforded me has been complete. 1t is
now some years since used your bitters, and it is
but just to say that have found the preparation
all 1t claims to be. If what have now said will
lead any dyspeptic nervous individual to sure
cure, shall have done some good.
l remain, gentlemen, respectfully yours,

A New Confidence Game-A TRAY
cling Editor.


Gently started the Boscobel Standard, has
left for parts unknown, leaving a large
number Of debts, both large and small, un
paid, contracted during his short stay
among the people of Boscobel. Upon his
going there, he succeeded so we'll in getting
into the good graces of the citizens, that
they Immediately made him up bonus of
several hundred dollars in cash, and made
pledges to a considerable amount Of adver-
tising. Subscriptions also rolled in, which
were paid in advance, to considerable
number, for the people of Boscobel We're
very much elated with the idea that they
were to have live newspaper, and that
live Colonel was to edit it. Thus matters
went on swimmingly for three whole weeks
during W ch time the Colonel took occas-
sion to en- tighten his readers in lengthy
editorial upon the moral subject of."Char-
acter is Capital" in the meantime taking
advantage of their credulity, and filling his
pockets with all the money he could get
hold Of On Tuesday last, he took up his
bed and board, leaving nothing but bun
die or two of papers, and lot of old type,
which has been attached by some Of his
creditors. On Sunday morning sheet
was issued from the Standard office, called
the ss.Sunday Morning Chronicle, which
gives the following account Of the Colonels
decampment:
TO THE PUBLIC.
We are somewhat surprised to learn
that our gallant young Colonel, who had
recently taken command of the Standard,
and welded it with such sagacity as to
hew many greenbacks out of the pockets
of our honest tradesmen and laboring citi-
zens, has absconded with the spoils Of his
victory. The last that was heard of him
he was hanging on the railing of the sleep
ing car in the rear of the night train of the
Milwaukee & Prairie du Chen Railroad
1t is much regretted by the class of men
with whom he made it point to visit reg
ularly at dawn" as we'll as at 'eventide," !"
viz the saloon keepers, who would resort
to, were they to know the whereabouts of
his "kernelship," the process Of an II
warrant you" for the purpose of obtaining
redress of grievances-unpaid bills and
borrowed money. We do not know that
we can charge any of the places of Divine
worship with ever harboring him.
Of the whereabouts of this extraordinary
man we know but little He purports to
have once lived in Elmira N. Y, and to
have been in the army as Colonel. He
at last getting tired of military life was in
| duced to resign lis commission and enter
the editorial sanctum at Mazo Mamie, from
which place he came to Boscobel as editor
of the Standard After receiving the SUBJ
scriptlons of his many patrons, and draw
ing largely upon some of his home bankers
-Keiren, McSpaden, Dickerson. and many
others-left the town in disgust. The stay
of our noble editor has been transient with
us, so we shall be unable to recommend
him to the public. However, we would
say we believe him to be an enterprising,
energetic fellow, judging from his following
US so closely for our subscriptions.
