telegraphic judgment of heaven; you
think and act through sluggish flesh and
blood; earths dust is often in your
eyes, and about your ears is confusion
OF tongues; you must often wait to

must die.
How many are willing to have their
own mistakes taken into as strict ac-
count as they themselves take the mis-
takes of others? Just SO many, and no
more, as those whosecharity covers TN
avoidable mistakes, and who perceive
in human infirmity the reason for vari-
ous degrees of forbearance according to
their Judgment. 1t is better for frail
man to mistake mercy than to mistake
justice; for the reaction Of mercy is gen

MURDER NNEVy ORLEANS.

A terrible riot occurred in New Or
leanslas week. The Union convention
Of 1864 was called together by Gov.
Wells, and the rebels were determined
that it should not meet President
Johnson telegraphed to the rebel Mayor
to call on the military to prevent the as
sembling Of the convention. This was
the real result of the Presidents dispatch
although he might not so have intended
it. When the convention assembled, it
was besieged by the rebel police, and
several of the members were killed and
wounded, and all the balance were ares
ted. About forty persons were killed,
and one hundred and sixty wounded.
Gen. Sheridan was not in in the city at
the time, but when he returned, he tele-
graphed that the shedding Of blood was
not necessary. He said that the conven-
ton was an unlawful assembly, and was
calculated to stir up strife, but that it
ought not to have been interfered with
until it committed some overt act.
Now the question arises, if Louisiana
is reconstructed, and entitled to repre-
sentation in Congress as President John
son claims, what right has the Presi-
dent to interfere with the domestic ques-
tons arising in the statel Have not the
people right to meet in convention?
Has not any convention right to meet,
and pass any resolutions that do not Vi
olate, any lawl .u aua Iua wra f.
The people of this country may now
expect the Kansas outrages, under Pres
Pierce, to be rerenacted in the South,
under Pres. johnson. That plan made
Kansas and Missouri the two most radical
anti-slavery States in the Union The
same results may be expected In Louis
lana in Gods own good time, Let the
friends of freedom patiently wait, and
quietly hope. ffs 80 t

Editors Ohio State Journal:
GENTLEMEN: The following commu-
nication has been received from WASH
ington: .... .g
APPLICATIONS UNDER THE BOUNTY q LAW.
Letters are pouring in daily askingfor
instructions and forms in relation to APP
plication for the additional bounty under
the recent act. None can be furnished
until the Secretary of War and Secre-
tary of the Treasury have prescribed the
rules and regulations as the act directs.
1t will probably require several weeks
in the pressure of other business before
system can be adopted and regulations
prepared and printed for distribution.
Letters of inquiry must remain unan-
swered, and had better not be written
until notice has been given through the
public press that rules have been pre-
pared.
The Second Auditors Office will settle
only the claims of the heirs of deceased
soldiers, but as there will be at least
$2, 100000 of such claims time must be
required to prepare a proper register
and make other necessary arrangements
to receive them. No advantage can pos
sibly be gained by hurrying claims eth
er into that Office or the Paymaster Gen
erals office,
The law, in an official form, has notyet
come to hand, and until it is received,
with the proper instructions and forms
for making applications anderstandingb,
persons having claims, had better wait,
and not subject themselves to labor and
expense uselessly
1t is well understood that widows can
now make application (using the old
form) to the second Auditor of the Trea-
sury; but they must, in all such cases,
give the number of the old certificate iss-
ued to them by that officer.
Very respectfully,
b.. .... ROYAL TAYLOR
Commissioner for Ohio.

Ksecause He Did IL.

II seems that the reason why Miles Jones nc
cepted the nomination for Sheriff, was because
Enoch Morgan accepted the nomination for Clerk
of the Court. According to his statement he was
determined not to accept the nomination, and in
answer to question from his father the morning
of the convention, before leaving for jackson, he
positively said he would not accept II; but after
getting TO jackson he met EnoCh Morgan, who
urged him to run so they would be company for
one another Finally he told Morgan, that as the
nomination for Clerk came first, and II Morgan
would be successful, he would not back out
Morgan was successful, therefore he (Jones) did
not back out. Examine what strength can be In
such an argument. 1t is very likely that Adam
would not have eaten OF the forbidden fruit had II
not been for Ewes persuasion. Was Adams guilt
any the less because he was induced to sin by the
kind words of his wife? Because Morgan is going
to death and destruction, is 1t any reason that
Jones should accompany him2 And will any ono
be more likely to vote for him because he is run
ming on that ticket to keep company for Morgan7
1t seems from Jones reasoning that because he Is
started to sin he must keep on, because Morgan
got him to consent to run he must stick to it, lot
the consequences be what they will. Welshmen
beware! WELsHMAN FROM JEFFERSON.

PRESIDENT DAVIS.

Soon after President johnson came
into office, he issaed a proclamation
offering 500, GOO reward for the captSre
of Jefferscn Davis and a few others,
who were Nansed, stating that there WAS
evidence in the possession of the Gov
ernment tendiHg to show that Davis
and the others pan1ed, were implicated
in the murder of President Lincoln.
Davis was captured, and after he had
been held for more thaa a year without
trial, Many began to doVbt whether there
was any evidence against him. The
n. Z. Tribune strongly minated that
President Johascn had no Authority for
saying that there was evidence against
Davis and Mr.. Grcely offered to be one
who wonld go bal fer Davis.
| A committee of Congress have been
investigating the matter, and they have
made report which will convince any
candid man that Jefferson Davis knew
that President Lincoln would be as
sassinated, aud that he never said one
word to discourage it, The committee
produce several letters written by rebels
to Davis, Offering to assassinate Mr..
Lincoln and.other officers Of the Gov
ernment, and Mr.. Davis indorsed these
over to his War Department, without
word of dissent. Even Mr.. Greedy now
admits that the evidence against Davis
is strong, and says:
In common with nine-tenths of the American
people, we do most seriously suspect Jefferson
Davis We have heard that, above oil men in
! Washington, President johnson did not; but Of
that 10 matter. We have not failed to demand In
the interests of the country, his speedy and
impartial trial. or, in default of proof rendering
his enlargement dangerous to justice, his prompt
release like other prisoners held for trial. The
national suspicion which rests on this one mar
presses him forward to public trial. The facts
Of the investigation give renewed emphasis 10 tht
demand that he shall be tried Further than Il
enforce this demand, we have not Judged his case

Gallipolis Journal:

PREAGHERs CHICKEN RoOsT ROBBED.
Editor Journal: ALLOW me through the col
tlmns of your paper TO communicate to the public
all act of meaaneJs, which have no words In my
vocabulary, adequate TO describe. On Thursday
night last some animal In human shape entered
our chicken-coOp, aud took seven. aud on Satur-
day night, two more, Of the few chickens we had,
leaving us two old hens and three little chickens,
not IL for use. Now Mr.. Editor, my opinion ls,
that If II was a negro that did this foul deed, he
is the mednest ever heard, thought, or read Of
And II he ls white man, then think the devil
will DO puzzled to know what 10 do with him,
especially upon the hypothesis, that there Is no
hen The very thought Of such an act, fills me
with disgust and Overwhelms me with astonlsh-
ment ut the degradation into which sin has plung-
cd our race ..t
Oh! shame, where Is thy blush! Steal chick.
ems from preacher, alas, alas .L
We can assure Elder Adams that no
negro ever did as mean a thing as that.
1t must have been copperhead, and
no copperheads but those of Gallipolis
were ever mean enough to steal the
favorite food from the mouth of a hun
CRY preacher
P.S. We can tell you what to do
with that chicken thief Send him as a
delegate to the National Union Con-
vention." He will meet many there
who have stolen from negroes all they
possessed, including chickens, as well
as wives and children.

TmE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

Abraham Lincoln, who gave his life
for his country, said in the last message
ever sent by him to the people;
With malice toward none with charity for NIL
with Grmness in the right as God gives us to see
the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in
to bind up tho national wounds, and care for him
who shall have borne the battle, and for his Wild
ow aud his orphans. ..
The great Union party of Ohio, at
their State convention, in June Of this
year, passed the following resolution:
RasoIced That the nation owes the heroic men
of our army and navy a debt of lasting gratitude
for their patriotic service In defense of the consti
tuition and the Union, and we urge upon congress
the duty of equalizng the bountles; and that
while we cherish with tenderest affection the
memories of the fhllen brave, we pledge to their
widows and orphans the nations care and pro-
lection.
A party holding such doctrines as
these, must succeed. omit.
