PAINFUL NCoNsIsTENCIEs.-Som men
talk like angels, and pray with fervor, and
mediate within deep recesses, and speak to
God with loving affection and words of
union. and adhere to him in silent devotion,
and when they go abroad are passionate as
ever, peevish as a frightened fly, vexing
themselves with their reflections; they are
cruel in their bargains, unmerciful to their
tenants, and proud as barbarian prince
Taey are, for all their fine words, impatient
ofreproof, scornful to their neighbors, lovers
of money, supreme in their own thoughts
and submit to none All their spiritual fan
cy is an illusion. They are still under the
power of their passions, and their sin rules
them imperiously, and carries them away in
fallibly.-Jeremy Taylor.

A Boy CRUSHED TO DEATH by A HoDsE.-
The Dayton Journal Of Wednesday says:
Yesterday morning fatal accident occurred
10 lad named Samuel Taylor, aged about
10 years, son of Joseph s. Taylor Of WASH
ington, d. c., who was with his mother on
visit to their relative, Mr. James Mcdaniel
of this city. The lad was riding Mr.. Nc
Daniels horse--a gentle animal land while
passing along First street, the lad fell off |;
and his foot holding fast in the stirrup, he
was dragged by the horse through the alley
down into Second street, and when in front
OF Mr. Odlins residence, the horse stumbled,
and fell upon the poor little sufferer, crushing
him SO terribly that he died in a few mo-
ments afterwards.

1t might well be said that extremes had
met if Senator Stewards proposition for uni
versal suffrage and universal amnesty should
be adopted One of the difficulties in the
way is that the true Union men of the South
are opposed to universal amnesty. The time
was when they would have agreed to it,
but they have been SO deceived and out
ragged by the secession element that they
would not do it now So far as universal or
colored suffrage is concerned, the insurgent
States are in the hands of majority of the
people of the United States. That majority
can do as it pleases. If it should devise
any plan by which the insurgent States
should be coerced or tempted to establish
certain kind of suffrage, the result would
be the practical ignoring of the right of the
States to determine this question for them
selves. 1t would be idle to say there was no
coercion when a proposition of this sort
should be finally laid down, and the States
should be told they must accede to it or be
indefinitely excluded from the Union. The
insurgent States would do any thing in the
long run to be restored to the Union. The
majority in Congress ought to be, above
placing conquered States in such stu
alton. The principle of the right of the
States to decide the question of suffrage
for themselves ought to be strictly and
honestly adhered to. This is the gist of the
Presidents plan, and for one we do not feel
disposed to abandon it. INA.
We appeal most respectfully and earnestly
to the Congress of the United States TO
adopt some plan to restore the States to the
Union. Our people are anxious to know
their fate Every weeks delay is still fur
ther crippling us in our industrial pursuits,
and is increasing among us the disaffected,
disloyal element. We make this appeal as
an unconditional Union man. We sincerely
trust Congress will not adjourn without
taking final action on this vital subject.

your ears like "seven thunders uttering their
voices" They do not like you, or your gov
crnment, or your flag. They submit simply
because they could do no otherwise. They
express no regret that they revolted and
fought you. They do not even admit that
they were mistaken. On the contrary, they
glory in the fact that they fought it out, and
they cover the peace men of the South with
approaches and insults. They are not at all
penitent, They say they were rightin resist
ing your authority and that, because they
were true to the Confederacy, they will be
true to you! Trust them at your peril. If
they could, they would rend the temple of
the Union and trample on the fag.a. Their
hearts are not now, and never were in the
work of restoration. They do not want it,
unless they can have it with their own men
in power. They want to get back just now,
as they are, because their heel is on the necks
of the true Unionists, and they hope to keep
it there. God knows we desire the restora-
ton of the Union. But we want no patch
work. no Union with secessionists over Union
men, and no defiant, unpardoned rebels to
represent us in Congress. President johnson
has exhausted patience, and kindness, and
magnanimity with these secessionists and
latter-day war men. His Provisional Gov
ernors have done the same thing. 1t was
well that they did. We approve it. 1t was
worthy of great nation But the wheat
has been sifted from the chat. We see now,
clearly and conclusively, who the friends of
the government are. and who are its enemies.
We see at last that there is no hope but in
Enthusiastically" loyal men. We see that we
must build upon rock if we expect the edi-
flee to stand, and that that rock is the loyal
element of the iusurgent States. All else is
shifting sand.
We have no suggestions to offer as to the
future. We confess that darkness is round
about us, and ahead of U.S. We are under
the ban, with other true Unionists, and we
feel that silence on our part would be more
becoming than any attempt to dictate, or
even to suggest. We shall simply defend
ourselves as Unionists and await results
We hav, full confidencein the President and
Congress. We look to them to vindicate the
true men of the South-to maintain the Con-
stitution-to reconstruct the Union on Just,
solid, and enduring basis, and 10 give peace
to an afflicted, unhappy people. The great
body of Our Northern citizens have no
conception of the suderings through which
our people have passed, or of their present
deprivations and poverty. Gentlemen of the
North, what you do do quickly. Your delay
in restoring US to the Union is drying up the
last precious drops of our prosperity. fit
is your will that the States shall return to the
Union with your enemies and our enemies in
power, say so, and let US know our fate; but
if they are to return with the devil of sctes-
sion cast out of them, and with the true
Union men at the head of our affairs say so,
and then take the necessary steps to accom-
plish the result.

A mere accident has just led to important
discoveries in the ruins of the old manor
house of Cebastro, which stands in the gorge
of Uces, between France and Aragon. The
recent high winds threw down part of the
wall of the Southern Tower, and exposed to
view the period of Gothic domination. Ex-
cavations were Immediately commenced, and
have brought to light great quantity of
jewelry, of all kinds, as diadems, bracelets,
rings, and pins. The diadems bear some re-
semblance to the crown preserved in the
Cluny Museum, and enable us to form an ac-
curate opinion as to the arts of Visigoth.

Was Gov. Graham contumacious" also,
that the Provisional Governor presented his
pardon ?-Sentinel
The Sentinel is constantly thrusting Gov.
Graham in our face What have we done
to Gov. Graham? The course we pursued
towards Gov. Graham while Provisional
Governor, was dictated by high sense of
public duty. In May, 1861, we voted for Gov.
Graham for President of the Convention
against an old political friend, because of
his staunch Unionisin, when Gov. G. and the
writer of this had not spoken for eighteen
years. We had no personal feeling against
him then, and we have none now.
Nearly three months have elapsed since
the writer of this ceased to be Provisional
Governor. During this period we have
sought to exert no influence with the Presi-
dent, if we have any, in relation to Gov. Ora
ham, and though that gentleman has seen
the President, and conversed with him in re-
gard to his pardon, still the pardon has not
been granted. Are we" preventing his par
don now9
We call on the public to bear witness that
we have been forced by Gov. Graham's friends
into these comments. We shall proceed fur
ther in future issues, until the whole matter
shall have been laid before our readers. Gov.
Graham and his friends have made personal
issue on the subject of his pardon; and it
was on this account mainly that the Union
party of the State was disorganized and
prostr,ted in November last, and such re-
suit produced at the polls as to elicit from
the President the expression of the opinion
that the cause of restoration in this State
had been greatly, if not fatally INSTRUCTED

The Indiana Democratic State Convention

The Indiana Democratic State Convention
on the 18th inst, adopted resolutions deny
ing the right of secession, approving of the
reconstruction principles avowed by the
President in his annual message, and solemn
ly condehning the action of the majority in
Congress. They cordially endorse the veto,
and pledge the President the earnest and
disinterested support of the Indiana Democ-
racy in all his conflicts with the fanatical
Congress majority.

SU1cIDE.-A Richmond correspondent of
the Iadee says recently:
Early on yesterday morning, DR.. Busk, of
late resident of this city, was found in the
privy attached to the store of W. B. Phillips
& Co., on the corner of Seventh and Broad
streets, in state of insensibility. In his
pocket was found a partially filled bottle of
solution of morphine, from which, and from
his condition, it was evident that he had
taken a dose with intent to kill himself
Medical aid was Immediately called in, and
despite every effort made to restore him to
sensibility, he died in the course of an hour
and half.

The Boston Pilot, in a well written and
candid review of the Presidents position,
concludes thus: "Amid all these combined
attacks, the President has stood firm, I'M
fiinching and undaunted. He has appealed
from party to the people; from leaders to
the masses; and he stands, to-day, the stand

The Sentinel cracks up Josiah Turner, Jr,
as Union man. The gist of Mr.. Turner's
Unionism in times past consisted in his hatred
of the Democratic party. He regarded that
party as primarily responsible for secession,
and he simply opposed it in that, as he had
done in other things Mr.. Turner has been,
for some time, contumacious, defiant, I'M
pardoned rebel. He declared, in his cam
paign for Congress, that he would not vote
for Andrew johnson to save his life
Mr.. Turner deceived the Union people of
this District into electing him to the Con-
federate Congress, by promising them that
he would go to Richmond to advocate the
cause of peace. When he got there, either
from the want of disposition to do so, or for
the want of moral courage, he did not say
the first word or do the first thing for peace
He truckled to Davis, and consented, by his
conduct, to all the devastation and ruin that
ensued He is still unpardoned. 1t is the
President who refuses to pardon him, not
Holden. Oh how the Sentinel would de-
nounce Andrew johnson for refusing to par
don Josiah Turner, Jr., if it were only prudent
to do so! We can tell the Sentinel that Mr.
Turner will never occupy seat in the fed
eral Congress.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says: "Ex-Gov.- Graham of
North Carolina, who is here as would be
Senator from North-C Carolina, is very much
disguised at the condition of political affairs.
lHe says he has been here over two weeks, and
complains that no Republican Members have
called on him, and he sees no immediate
hopes Of his admission to his seat in the
Senate. He has taken an amnesty oath but
has never been pardoned."
The Union Association of the seventh As
sembly District of New York City-repre-
sented by Mr.. Raymond in Congress had a
meeting on the night of the 10th instant,
when spirited debate occurred on the Pres
ident's policy. Mr.. Raymond's friends car
ried the amendment endorsing that policy
by majority of four, but the meeting adj
journed without taking vote on the resolu-
| ton of approval of both President and Con-
gress.

THREATENED Grad" FROM EAST TEN
NEssEE TO TIRGINIA.-We have been
panied to learn from the Abingdon Vir.
ginian that state of things is existing in
East Tennessee calculated to excite the
deepest anxiety on the part of the conSer-
vative element of that unfortunate section
For time the liveliest hopes were enter.
tanned that harmony would, by degrees, be
restored, and that those who had been ene-
mics in war would again become friends in
peace; but We fear such hopes are des.
tined to be very short lived. The Radical
element in several of the counties Of
upper East Tennessee is becoming very
FESTIVE, and unmistakable evidences are
being developed that this ever FESTIVE class
of citizens are looking about for pre-.
text to make descent upon the former
"rebel" population of that section. The
prctext for this movement, which is fast
moving to development, is that the PEG.
ple of southwestern Virginia contemplate
a movement upon East Tennessee with the
refugees from that section, to reinstate
them intheir now despoiled homes. .&
