SUMMIT COUNTY

We learn from the Akron Journal that
Robert Lama was attacked on the streets
Of Akron by a robber on Wednesday ave-
ming. He showed fight and succeeded in
getting his antagonist down and punish
ing him, when be passed on.
The Journal says that Rev. j. D. Nor
ton, late pastor of the NJ. E. Church in
Akron, is now assisting Rev. Mr.. Osborne
the present pastor. The religious interest
continuing to increase.
The Beacon says at the meeting Of the
Stockholders of the Akron Rolling Mill
Company, on the 18th inst, the following
gentlemen were elected Directors for the
ensuing year: John r. Buchtel, James
Christy, James w Upson, John John
ston, H. N. Slade, William Buchtel, J.
Park Alexander AT a subsequent meet
ing of the Directors, John Johnston was
elected President of the Company, and J.
Park Alexander Secretary and Treasurer.
The stockholders also resolved to increase
the stock of the company from $4,000 to
$780, 900, and to proceed at once with the
building of the works, the necessary
grounds having been already secured and
paid for.

ASHTABULA COUNTY.

The Ashtabula Telegraph says:
We are sorry to learn that Rev. I. O.
Fisher, Pastor of the NJ. E. Church in this
village, was from feeble health unable to
fill the pulpit on last Sabbath. The illness
of Mr.. Fisher is much regretted in view OF
the evening meetings of the last week or
two, which, if continued, promised such
good results in a general waking up on
religious matters.
The last phase of the railroad gossip
~hereabouts, with reference to the A. & G.
W. Branch, is, that the line is to run from
Meadville, instead of Franklin, as first
asserted, and instead of terminating at the
harbor at this place, it is, after giving US
a short and easy communication with east
village, by bridge, and a village depot, to
continue on, in parallel line with the Lake
Shore, to Cleveland. The object of the
enterprise, if there's an adequate one, does
not yet fully appear, unless it be found, as
some suppose, in the shortening of the
route to the city of New York, and thus
offering a bid for the travel of the West
and Northwest.
A series of religious meetings, says the
Reporter, are now being held at the diff
ferent churches in Conneaut, and much
interest in manifested in the cause. Some
thirty of them have presented themselves
as subjects for prayer, the majority of
whom profess conversion. The meetings
are still in progress, with hopeful results.
Services each evening commence at seven
o'clock, and are conducted by the Revs.
Wyman, Ames and Robinson.

The Tennessee Legislature is hard at

dians. 1t appears, however, that 81, no.

ain addition to the above we learn from
reliable authority, but unofacially, that
the amount Of deposits, aside from those
of q special nature, is $l,6OO,OOo. The
debts due the bank, as we learn from the
same source, amount to about %, 0oo, 600;
so that, with all the swindling prasticed
while the bank was in Dixie, it is to be
hoped that the depositors may get some

" treason should be defined before q
F." competent court That sounded like
good loyal doctrine, aud was in strong con-
trsst with the defence Of treason to which
those journals had persistently lent them
selves in the past. But like Beecher, the
Copperhead journals had an sfserthought.
They were quite willing /" treason should
be defined by the trial and conviction Of
the areh-traitor, but one Of them suggested
that President johnson would undoubt-
" edlyavail himself Of an earlyopportunity
ito interPoss NE eseeutiee eIezneney bStsOesn
Hthe sentence of a court ord its execution"
These are fair samples Of the generous
q sacrifices . men Of all political organiza-
tons are willing to make in order to be
considered within the pale Of the admin
istratisn party. President johnson says
q Treason is 8 crime to be punished''. The
eDemocraoy" respond, "Treason should
be defined, and fancy themselves " sup
aporters ofthe administration" The Presi-
dent pardons a few scores Of traitors, and
Mr.. Beeeher announces his willingness to
open his arms to unrepentant rebels with
all their rebellioui 'fheories", and then
~congratulates himself upon his success in
supporting the administration" notwith-
standing he would prescribe an oath to
the effect that said theories are "false
"and hereticsl."
The moral is, the war of ideas is not get
ended; it is simply transferred from the
arena Of bullets to that Of ballots, and,
however men may seek to disguise the
great principles underlying the struggle,
the conflict is Hirrepressible" and must go
on, regardless of the peculiar views Of the
Chief Magistrate partisan leaders, OF
pardoned rebels. The contest will moi
cease until the manhood Of all men shall
have been recognised in all sections Of the
lad -D~-ss 4Ad PARTY platforms MAY
change and be swept away, but justice
will prevail, for "the eternal years Of God

Joseph P Comegys is most prominently
spoken of on the Democratic side, and

Hon. John Covode forbids the use of his

spoken Of in connection with the nomina-

A number of letters have been received
in Washington from New England by Re-

may be, if possible, maintained between
the Executive and Congress. The ma

General Sherman, in his report of OBJ
servations in Arkansas, advocates the re-
building of various lines of railroad, and
recommends that certain regiments Of
Colorsd Troops be assignedt to the perform
snce Of the labor. We cannot understand
the propriety or justice of converting SOL
diers into laborers. 1t is the worst of
economy, beside being a violation of the
faith of the nation. 1t is an unworthy
prejudice that would compel a soldier to
perform the duties Of a common laborer,
merely because he had a black skin and
had been doomed to unpaid toll during the
major portion of his life.
