THE Vabey Spirit and Franklin Re
positOry, respectively the organs of the
Democratic and Republican" parties
of Franklin county, have been enlarg-
ed and improved. They are both edi-
ted with great ability and in their get
ing up" should be models for every
country paper in the state. The Spirit
adds to its other good qualities, thor
ough soundness in politics, whilst the
only fault the Repository has, is its per-
sistent wrong g-headedness on the Ne
gro and other political subjects. We
always read both of them with interest.

THEClinton Democrat wants to know
''if the abolition party, after getting
through with its crusade against De
mOcracy and the Constitution, for rec
Ognizing the distinction between the
Caucasian and the African, will turn
its batteries, resolutions, &c, against
the Creator for making that distinc-
ton" To be sure they will. Don't
they want an "anti-slavery Bible and
an anti-slavery God?"

THE will of the majority, glorifed
80 extensively by the late Abraham
Lincoln and his followers, does not
seem to be held in very high regard by
the Republican" members of thepres-
ent Congress. The people Of the Dis
trict of Columbia lately voted almost
unanimously against the prOpositionto
give the negroes the right of suffrage
in the district; yet, in defiance of their
soleunly expressed wishes, the Re
publican" congressman proceed dalib-
erately to pass a bill forcing negro suf
frage upon them. If this is not des.
potism of the most arbitrary sort, will
somebody tell US what is? A great noise
was once made about the "LecOmp-
ton Constitution" not being the will ot
the people of Kansas. Admitting, to
be true, for the sake of argument that
all that was said about the manner in
which that instrument was adopted
how much better is this attempt tC
force upon the people Of the District o.
Columbia, law which they declare, al
most to man, is Odious to them
Now, honest Republican, d" do you er.
do-se this outrage committed by yo1a
representatives in Congress? DO you
deny that the ,oW Of the people ought Il
be the groundwork of all laws in {
Republican form of Government?

Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1866-12-19

A few days since, family living at No.
1928 Davis street, advertised rooms to let.
A young man called and agreed to take the
apartments. On Thursday morning, he
again called, and asked the lady of the
house whether she would have any Objec-
tions to his placing piano in the paror.
She assented to the proposition. In che
afternoon, between and o'clock, he
again appeared; this time with bucket
and scrubbing brush. He went into the
parlor, as the lady supposed, to fix things
in shape for the piano. In short time,
another fellow came along with bundle
under his arm. The room-renter was ex-
ceedingly polite, handing him chair, in
viting him to .take seat, etc. The man
proved to be a German tailor, doing busi-
ness at No. 632 North Second street. He
gave the package to the room-renter, who
said, 6 l will go up stairs and try on the
new suit" The tailor patiently awaited
his return. Halt an hour having elapsed,
he inquired of the landlady what had be :
come of him. She replied that he lett the
house Immediately after receiving the pack
age. The tailorawaited about half an hour
longer, and then concluded that lie had been
swindled out of an entire new suit Of cloth

Knife nnd PitchGnrI..

The German journals relate the following
anecdote: "Saxhausen is one of the suburbs
of Frankfort, and is partly occupied by
gardeners, who are considered, rightly or
wrongly, to be clownish lot. When the
Prussian troops entered the city, every
house was obliged to billet one or two SOL
diers. The inhabitants of Saxhausen ac-
quilted themselves of this duty with a very
bad grace, and one of them showed such
manifest signs OF ill-will towards his guest
that the latter, when he sat down to dinner,
placed his sword on the table by his side,
with very significant gesture. The coun-
tryman said nothing, but left the room and
returned in moment with an ennTrmoo,n n, Q Q
pIUcnIorK, which he laid down beside the
sword. The soldier flushed up with anger,
but the other quietly observed, Il thought
that for so big knife knife big fork
was required. If you like we can each
make use of our own implement This
was all the satisfaction the son of Mars
could obtain, so he thought fit to put his
sword away in corner OF the Kitchen,
whilst the other Withdrew the pitchfork."

One GLASS of Wine.

The Duke of Orleans, the eldest son of
King Louis Philippe, was the inheritor of
whatever rights the royal family could
transmit. He was noble young man
physically and intellectually noble. One
morning he invited a few companions with
him as he was about to take his departure
from Paris to Join his regiment. In the
conviviality of the hour he drank too much
wine. He did not become intoxicated; he
was not in any respect dissipated man.
His character was lofty and noble. But in
that joyous hour he drank glass too much.
He lost the balance of his body and mind.
Bidding adieu to Lis companions, he en-
tered the carriage.
But for that extra glass he would have
kept his seat. He leaped from his carriage.
But for that extra glass of wine he would
have alighted on his feet. His head struck
the pavement. Senseless, bleeding, he was
taken into beer shop and died. That eX-
ira glass overthrow the Orleans dynasty,
confiscated their property of one hundred
millions of dollars, and sent the whole fam
lily into eXile.-Huper'S Magazine.

more About the Bank of Upper Cam
ada. i E...
TORONTO, Dec. 18.-Another bill was filed
in the Court of Chancery against the Bank
of Upper Canada. 1t contains two clauses,
and sets forth that Robert Cassels became
manager of the bank at salary of $4,000
per annum, for a certain term of years,
which have not yeteXpired; that securities
were given him, by way of pledge, for
the salary; that he was bound by agree
ment to devote time and services exclusive
" to the affairs of the bank; that he vio-
lated the provisions of the agreement
by entering into arrangements with
G. Mills & Co., London, to collect and Sc
cure debts due them by the bank, for
which he received certain per centage; and
that he was concerned in other transactions
Of receiving large sums by way of COM
mission. Complainants submit that Cas-
sells has forfeited all claim of remuneration
as servant of the bank, and seek that the
mortgage, or pledge of security given him,
be declared void; that an account be taken
of the monies Cassels received for services
other than connected with the bank, and
amount set off against the sum due, and to
become due, to him by agreement.

PROM WASHINGTON.

The Suffrage BIII Discussed in CabI
net-The Matter Nf COnfirmatIons-
Not True.
New York, Dec. 1S-The Herald's Wash
ington special says the Negro Suffrage bill
Tor the District of Columbia was discussed
in Cabinet council OH Friday last, all the
members being present except Secretary
Stanton. 1t was unanimously advised that
the bill be vetoed on account of its dis
franchising features. A bill merely giving
suffrage to negroes would be approved.
The general impression now is that the
Senate will confirm such nominations sent
In as are not glaringly partisan in their
nature, trusting to the passage of some
measure at this session to curtail the Presi-
dents patronage.
The report published in New York pa
pers that Col. Paulding, late Chief Paymas-
ter in the army, had eatened to make
some disclosures concerning certain Ma
tional Bank deposits is untrue.
Action of the Board of Aldermen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-In the Board of
Aldermen last night Joint resolution was
introduced praying Congress to repeal all
acts establishing the present government
of the District, and asking the appointment
and consolidation OF municipalities under
Inem' many congressman VINO VOJe0 1Of
the Suffrage bill privately express them
selves in favor of mode of government
similar to the above.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The gold bill, in

in Congress in favor of more legal tenders,

posed to any further issue. 400 .i.l
