The Marshall County Outrases

We invite the attention of our readers
and of all honorable men 10 the letter
written by Mr.. CURTIS of MARSHALL coun-
ty. which we publish this morning 1t
was by means of such ruffanly outraGes
as those recited by Mr.. CURTIS that the
barbarians succeeded in reporting GA
majority" for the constitutional amend,
ment in Marshall county. If the Gov
ernor is possessed of a spark Of Justice
he will cause the rejection of the entire
poll at Moundsville we are pretty sure
he would do SO had these outragcs been
committed by the opponents of radical
ism, or if the majority were for the re-
lection of the amendment. Mr., L. }
CrRTis is an old man, feeble by reason
of age. He has always been Union
man. and no word was ever truthtully
spoken against either his character as p
citizen or as q man. He is respected and
yenerated by all who know him. The
attack upon him WAS, therefore, the more
cowardly and brutal The attempted
murder Of his son ANA of Mr.. MvETfN,
and the probable murder Of Mr.. MARTIN $
wife are outrages that cal for the So.
yerest condemnation OF all good citizens
and for the heaviest penalty of the law.
These things nave gone tar enough,
indeed, aud unless anarchy and riotar' To
prevail throughout the State, they must
be promptly stopped and severely pm
ished. The conservative citiz"rs Of this
State are law-aHding and peaceahle
people bat they would be less than men
we're they to refuse to defend themselves
where the officers of the law will give
them no protection.

with the remark, "Now, Mr.. President

YOU are as TO philosophy"
Campbell theu read an article entitled
Andrew Johnson and Thomas Paine"
written after the manner of Plutarch's
Comparisons" and designed to show
that Paine was very estimable man
compared with Johnson. The President
listened to 1t attentively.

inquired Capmbell.
The President laughed, looking his
Ohio friend III the eye, and said: Well,
now, dou't mind the other things, but
doesn't it strike you that the Howard

Campbell said it really did occur to
him in that light The President finally

The lIRhicnI Rebellion,

Evidences are multiplying that the
radical party is resolved to precjpitate
the nation into another civil war, rather
than submit to the constitution. The
lawless violence to which members OF
that party in this State have resorted in
order to stife the popular voice and de-
stroy popular liberty, seems to be part
of al organized radical scheme to bring
about rebellion We have heard il Con.
gress threats to impeach and depose the
President of the United States; radical
newspapers and preachers have limited
very plainly that they desired his death;
and some have openly menaced the
country with civil war, unless the IN
constitutional and revolutionary de-
mands of the Congyess be complied with
and the form of the government be
changed a Pennsylvania paper, the or
gan of one of the congressional disunion-
lists, said recently, in relation to tie
Presidents restoration policy:
That policy is now making active war
upon the party and the people who saved
the nation from humiliation, aud 1t
must if not checked by the prompt and
decided action of the people at the
coming elections, inevitably culmiaais
In the wGqer of battle. We here write it
as a logical consequence, as surely as
effect follows cause, if the policy which
is being pursued by Andrew Johnson IS
successfully carried out by the many
influences attached to administrative
power, and u supineness on the part of
the Union masses, that a rCne,Cal Of the
WGr to put down the traitors lateiu rebel
lion becomes inevitable.
This is precisely the same kind of talk
we used to hear from extreme southern
men before the late rebellion. In that
case, however, the war was threatened
if the rights of the States were invaded;
but in this case the war is to be waged
if the radical party" should be ousted
from power by the popular vote These
partigsns have become so puKed up by
the insolence of Office and so accustomed
to trampling upon the rights Of the peo-
pie that they openly threaten rebellion
if they are not permitted to still longer
plumber and Cypress the people. If the
President, in obedience to the require.
msnts of the constitution and the terms
of his official oath, dares TO pursue that
administrative policy which seems Ia
him best adapted TO restore the southern
States to their former relations in the
Union, aud, in so doing opposes the rev.
olutiouaIy course of the barbarian
party" an appeal TO arms is threatened
and the nation is menaced by a new
rebellion.
The violence that has been exhibited
in many counties in this State is nronnt.
ed by the same spirit of rebs,I;or ,bot
dictated the paragraph We have ouo,od
above 1t proceeds from the same do+or
'mination on the part of bad men n bo,a
on to Office and power in defiance Of law
and regardless of The popular will. In
not one fourth part of this State are
elections fairly conducted, and through.
out the entire State has the Constitu.
lion been most fagrantly violated. If
they can retain their power in no other
way, the radical party in West Virginia
stands ready to engage in open rebellion.
1t already defes the laws and scorns all
restraint.

Prentice on Brownlow Again.

The following is Prentice's last shot
at Brewnlow:
Old Brownlow was never in but one
Mace where he deserved to be, and tnat

of men, women and children. No excel.

protection against his venomous as.

Brownlow has all the worst qualities

A PLEASANT VIsrToR.-A fow evenings
since, says the S. F. Alta, Capt. Douglass
was sitting in the calaboose outer Office,
when a Lascar or Bengalec came in, and
with many bows and gestures apologize,
asked to know if the grand Captain Of the
Police Forces Of Amelica was at home.
The Captain Strengthened himself up with
q Jerk which sent his head shooting out Of
his shoulders like the pen out Of an extern
sion pen-holder, and with a graceful wave
OF the hand and the bow off Chesterfield,
informed the humble sutton for justice that
the Captain aforesaid was there, and fel,
condescendingly inclined. What did he
require at the hands Of the representative
of the majesty Of the laws With bows
and gestures expressive. the child OF the
land Of the Indus or the Ganges, proceeded
to inform him that he had the smallpox,

You ought to have seen the change which
came over the features and n Of the
gallant Captain. With one hand to his

the hint and "got" about as fast as hi:

A ScHlsN IN the CoLonED CoNoREss.
There is q division in the colored commits
sion sitting at Washington to advise Con-
gress as to the wants and wishes Of col
ored Americans. The. Virginia freedmen
sent a white man to represent them. The
colorcd delegates object to this for several
reasons. In the first place. they have no
faith in white men. more especially white
Virginians, for such business. Secondly,
it was a weakness in the Virginia brethren
to send him as their representative, as II
looks too much like q confession that they
could not find one of their own number
capable Of such a mission. and if this is
true, how can they ask the privilege Of the
ballot? And, thirdly, this white delegate
has land to sell, upon which he wants
the freedmen to colonize, and the colored
commission do not choose to belittle them
selves by connection with any such small
personal speculation. There has been
feeling on the subject for several days,
which eliminated in the withdrawal Of
Fred. Douglass, George T. Downing and
several others from the meeting Of the
commission, leaving the white Virginian
to keep company with the colored minor
ity who could SO far demean themselves
as to associate with him. There will now
be two commissions. each claiming to be
the original Jacob" and Congress will
be in p~erplexity as to which is authorized
to speak for colored Americans.

Notwithstanding the doubts and fears
of many, we still have faith in Andrew
Johnson and believe that he not only
wishes to do right, but that he intends to
carry out the wishes Of the great party
which elected him, and does not intent to
prove false to them nor their principles.
We know that unless he has utterly and
entirely changed his whole character and
nature, his sympathies are all with the
common people-the laboring classes, as
well as with the Union party, both of the
white and the black races ; that, to use his
own oft repeated languagc-he is "their
friend" And though he may-perhups
must differ with some of his friends. Of the

MUSICAL ASEcDorE.-Once upon q time
there was In one OF the old English boroughi
an organist who was as much Of an epieurs
at home as he was organist in church. On
an extraordinary occasion, when no was de.
tanned rather late with the choir, his wife,
who had purchased a nice leg Of mutton, sen,
her young son to find out how it would please
the ~organist to have it cooked for dinner. On
entering, the boy perceived that his father
had commenced the lie Deum and, fearing
to wait until it was completed, as there would
not be enough time left to prepare the dinner,
he crept up to the old man, and commenced
singing in good treble (sotto voce):
MY mother has bought u hind quarter Of
mutton,
And wants TO know how TO e.oo.ook t."
The father, astonished, but not at all dis.
concerted, continued his bass:
Tell her to roast the lolu, and boil the leg, and
make a pudding Of the Iu.u.et"
So the Te Deum went on, and the family
had a good dinner.
