say a man is all the better forhaving been
a rogue; and Shakespeare declares
80 The best men
Are moulded Of their faults
By the same process of reasoning, Presi-
dent johnson and the Copperheads argue
that the most repentant rebels will make
the best apostles of freedom" and there
fore insist upon the immediate admission
of Southern representatives, no matter
what may have been their status in the
rebellion,
At the close of the wal it was agreed
upon all hands that there was no immedi-
ate necessity for reconstructing the lately
rebelIious States. Make haste slowly
was repeated by every one. Now, We
have not brought ourselves to believe that
the case is any different at present. There
is no more urgent necessity now for the
restoration of those States, than there was
at the close of the war. The people Of
the South have not given such evidences
Of enduring loyalty as to warrant their
restoration to political power on the
contrary, it is as well known as any fact
can be, that their hatred of the North is
lust as intense As ever it was, and their
love Of the Union anything but ardent
That they are anxious to resume their
former relations we may well believe; but
that anxiety does not spring from a sin
cere desire to make amends for the past.
Their motives are not so creditable. There
can be no doubt that they would use their
power, if they regained it tomorrow, in
embarrassing and defeating all the great
progressive measures called for by the
changed condition of the Republic. This
is generally understood, and is a potent
reason why they should not be entrusted
with the privileges and pr~erogatives they
forfeited when they plunged the country
into a civil war.
The party that carried the country
through the war, is the only party that
can be safely trusted to reestablish it in
peace, and to make provisions for its fu-
ture welfare. The freedmen are to be
protected in their new-found liberty, and
this can only be done by retaining the
control of the government in the hands of
those who have proved their friendship for
the colored race. The national finances
must be managed by undoubtedly loyal
men, or the public credit will suffer and
misfortune and ruin fall upon ev-
cry part of the country.

CoLUMBIANA COUNTY.
From the New Lisbon Bnekeue STATE

From the New Lisbon buckeye Stdte
The amount of oil territory in Column
biana county seems to be on the increase
every day. Last week there was a well
struck on the farm of John Montgomery,
one mile above Salineville, on the Cleve-
land and Pittsburgh Railroad. Il was
leased by an Eastern company, and oil
was obtained only at the depth of twenty
feet. The quality of the oil is heavy Tub
ricating, and will bring, it Is supposed, 81
per gallon in its raw state. Four barrels
have been sent to refinery 10 be tested.
The newly-elected Agricultural Board
are diligently at work, and making siren
uous efforts to give a grand fair the coming
fall. The Board is revising the list OF
premiums, and intend to increase them
some wo to three hundred dollars. Ow-
ing to the decreased list of premiums, the
fair last fall did not make such a display
of agricultural and horticulture as might
have been, if larger. The Society will
hold a public Sheep Shearing on the Fair
Grounds, on the 10th day Of May next,
at 10 o'clock A. NJ.

The Syracuse Journal has a report that
Hon. E. L. Leavenworth, of that city, has
been offered the Collectorship of New
York by President johnson.
Every Union paper in Illinois, with the
exception of the Chicago Journal s~ustains
Congress, and condemns the veto and the
speech of the President.
There was a large and enthusiastic Union
meeting at Baltimore Thursday night
which sustained Congress. Speeches Were
made by Senators Cresswell, of Maryland
Trumbull, of Illinois, and Representative;
Thomas, ofMaryland, and Mckee of Ken
lucky.
Resolutions indorsing Congress, and
eondemning the President, were intro
duced into both Houses of the Wisconsin
Legislature yesterday, and were passed by
nearly a party vote.
The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says the big mas:
meeting, nominally to pat President John
son on the back for vetoing the Freed
mems Bureau bill, was really to push the
p~retentions of Judge Henry E. Davies fol
the Collectorship of that port.
The Boston Advertiser remarks that Mr..
Johnson's speech presents a tempting op-
p~ortunity for any critic who forgets that
the speaker is President of the United
States, but deems it the part of good citi-
zens to observe a decent silence as to some
characteristics and qualities Of the speech,
which are nevertheless prominent topics
in all private discourse.
One of the ablest as well as the most
successful fnanciers in Wall street, in q
letter to the Hon. Freeman Clark, says:
" The indications are manifest than only
a small part of the Republicans here will
support the President. 1 do not think
that one-tenth of our party in this city
will abandon Congress. More than nine.
| tenths of the members of the Loya'
League Club will stand with Congress. L
looks bad for the President throughout
this State"
a Joke is current in New York at tht
expense Of MI. Henry J. Raymond. Mr.
Ganson, an ex-member of Congress from
the Buffalo District, the other day intro
duced Mr.. Raymond to Ex-Governor Par
ker Of New Jersey, who is, as everybody
knows, a pro-slavery Democrat. "Ah,
says Judge P, am very glad to maxi
Mr.. Raymond's acquaintance. 1 tax,
Tie Times, because 1 like to sec boti
sides" "Yes," says Gansou, " an'
you get both sides in The Times"

SANDUsKY COUNTY.

The Fremont Journal speaking of the
recent freshet in the Sandusky River, says
it was probably the severcst treshet ever
witnessed in Fremont. Once or twice,
within the recollection of some of the citi-
zens, there has been US much or more
water in the river, but the banks were
never so much overfown. Considerable
damage was done on the river to Downs
d Co.. steam Touring mill, June q Curtis
foundry and machine shop, and several
frame buildings, VIM. Kessler's hotel
barn, and several small buildings below
him. As soon us the ice stopped, i'm
movably gorged, the water began to back
set from every street running 10 the river.
A large body came down Front street
under the railroad bridge, which crosses
this street, and before night many families
in the upper end of town were obliged to
move their things out, or from the first to
the second floor. Some were Obliged to
make their escape so quickly that scarcely
anything could be taken. The houses
near the river, and indeed most of those
on the fiat were submerged from a few
inches to four or five feet.
The railroad bridge which crosses the
river was in great danger of being carried
of, but by careful watching and assisting
the ice to pass through, cutting of the sid
ing and keeping a loaded train on the
bridge, the structure was saved. The train
from the west Saturday evening at six
o'clock, was kept here until Sunday norm
ing, when the cars were showed across, the
passengers walked, and a locomotive on
the east side took them east. The two
trains from the east due Saturday night
were passed west in the same manner on
Sunday.
Thursday afternoon, February 22d,
about three o'clock, Abraham Bowman,
of Riley township, while hauling logs to
his house for fire wood, met with an acci-
dent, resulting in his death in about an
hour.
Owing to the destruction of the bridge
at Findlay, the time table on the L. Z. d
L. R. r. has been changed as follows:
now leave Fremont at $50 A. NJ,
and arrive at Findlay at 1918; leave
at ? P. NJ. and arrive in Fremont
at 4:4j.

General Asboth.

A telegram that General
Asboth has been appointed Minister to
Venezuela. The General will undoubt-
cdly ill the position with credit. He is a
Hungarian, we believe; at any rate, a
political refugee from the old country,
where be saw considerable service as n
soldier. Although he went through the
late war in this country without gaining
on his first appointment as Il Brigadier
General, having been forgotten, as he said,
by the War Department, he did some
hard fighting, and won distinction in the
earlier skirmishes and battles in Missouri
and at Pea Ridge, Arkansas. Those who
knew him in the army speak of him as an
eccentric and irascible old fellow.
yet not WITHOUT good traits. He had a
passion for last horses, and was also Il
great admirer of dogs. During seasons of
military inactivity, in the hottest weather,
he would be seen flashing past a camp, on
a blooded steed, followed "a long way be-
hind by q crowd Of dogs Of all degrees,
with lolling tongues, and aids and order
lies very red as to their faces and on sorry
looking horses,-all OF them, dogs, aids
and orderlies, in mertal fear Of a blow
ing up in very broken English for falling
in the rear. Toward the close of the war
the government c~orralled him with a
command at Pensacola, where he had to
forego the delights of horsemanship, but
be added largely to his stock of dogs, and
took unbounded satisfaction in exhibiting
them.

The Union Legislatures on the Veto.
The legislatures of Maine, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Nevada, Iowa and Missouri,
have endorsed the Congressional policy
as opposed to the Presidents. The Union
maiorities in the legislatures of Pennsyl-
MIA and Ohio have done the same thing in
caucus. Resolutions endorsing Congress
are now pending in the New York legis-
lature and will without doubt be adopted.
BIessrs. Doolittle Of Wisconsin, Stewart
of Nevada, Cowan of Pennsylvania, and
Morgan of New York, Republican Sena-
tors who have deserted their party, are
thus repudiated by the bodies which elect
ed them. On the other hand, not a single
State has endorsed the Presidents course.
This is the way the loyal masses respond
to Presidential ~usurpation.
Ordinarily the diction Of Senatorial
| speeches, if not classical, Is at least several
degrees above stump oratory. The "half
horse, half alligator" style went out OF
date with Col. Crockett and the eld-fash-
Toned ox-roasting and barbecues of Wing
and Locofoco campaigns. Now and then
however, a coarseness of expression is OBJ
servable, which, as Ruskin says, ais SO
strongly felt thas it is enough to assign to
the man who utters it a certain degree OF
inferior standing forever" Mr.. Stewart,
Q. S. Senator from Nevada, ina speech on
reconstruction the other day, INDUCED in
a slang term which was neither funny nor
forcible. Speaking Of certain political
principles, he said " they were the ones he
advocated in the last campaign, and he
wasn't going to cha0 his words now Ne
vada Is pretty far west, but we don't be
lieve such an uncouth expression would be
considered all right even in that longitude.

Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. Is
about to be crowned King of Hungary.
Anthony Trollope began his career as
an author at the age of nineteen. He has
published fourteen novels, two books of
travel, and a volume of short stories, be-
sides a great many magazine articles.
Mrs. Avonia Brookes nee Jones, the
American actress, is creating a fur0re in
London. She is always attended by q
superb Newfoundland dog endowed with
wonderful intelligence. He is admitted
into the saloons which hismistress graces :
in railway carriages and steamboats, he
holds his place by her side, ig defiance Of
rules; he sleeps beneath her bed; sits in
a private box with her at the theatre, and
watches over her at rehersals. On one
occasion, when she was rehearsing Leah
and had to be dragged from the stage, the
deg, who seemed to understand every
thing except this apparent mal-treatment
of his mistress, leaped upon the man who
had seized her, and but for timely inter
ference, would have inflicted condign
punishment.
The Rev. Henry a. Wise, Jr., who IN
like his father, is of a reverent turn of
mind. is Just now troubled with calls.
One of these implies that the people of
H~arrisonburgh, Va, are greatly in need
Of his ministrations, while another comes
all the way from California, and is backed
up by S., 600 in gold-~not greasy green
backs says the Culpepper Observer.
We would advise young Henry to wait
a while longer, in hopes of receiving 81
CALI from the Sandwich Islands or Terra
del Fuego. One member Of the Wise
family is quite enough fer Virginia, and
Calif0enis has hitherto hOurisbed apace
without even that modicum. We know
nothing Of the young man, except that
he comes of a very bad family.

Washington Correspondence Springfield (MAss',l
Republican,
THERE'S one good thing about the veto
it is so squarely against Congress that 1t
cannot be misinterpreted. The people
cannot possibly mlsintrepret 1t. If the
President is right there is but one thing
To do and that Is 10 let in the southern del
CITATIONS at once and take our chance with
The rebels. Under such a contingency a
| government bond might Re worth eighty
cents on the dollar anu might not be worth
as much. The policy ofthe PRESIDENT Is eX-
actly hat Of the opposition. Soft Repubh-
cans are to support it there Is no longer
any distinction Of parties. The millennium
mas come indeed, for North and South
Will be at peace and we shall all be happy
except the poor negro. He is to be
cared for by his old master. The feel ng
in Congress yesterday upon the veto mes
sage was intense. In the House the Cop
| perheads f~llibustered to prevent any vote
upon the resolution from the reconstruc-
ton committee.
THE CABINET QUARREL
Excites interest, and much curiosity is felt
to know whether Mr.. Stanton OF Mr. Har-
ian intend to leave. In the first struggle
over the veto message Seward, Nelles,
Dennison and McCullOch were very active
in its favor-in fact, l think we " the
veto 10 them. They might have persuaded
tue President TO let 1t become a law.
Welles and Dennison naturally stand by
their bread and butter, as they always have
done in the past. Stanton, Harlan and
Speed oppose the veto, but Speed was
mild in opposition. Harlan and Stanton
were ~outspoken, and now the question
mooted is, will they leave the ClbInet 2
Why should they OF course, if the Pres
ident begins to make an issue with Con-
gress in the use Of his patronage those
| radical members of his cabinet cannUJ
stay: but so long as he does not they
should remain to care for their friends, #
for no other purpose. Secretary
Stanton and General Grant nave still
influence with the President and they
should use it for the welfare OF the country.
Soma enc remarks that Mr.. Stanton
will not leave the Cabinet till he Is
kicked out" Very likely, and l don't
| believe the President will dare kick
the man from the Cabinet who kept his
| place during the war. We shall wait
some time for that emergency. The BlaIrs
are in ecstacies over the situation. Mont
gomery has his eve on II place in the flu
| lure. The President will give offices to
Democrats, he says, when they have suf-
hcient power in Congress 10 give him
support. No doubt this is true.
