A Methodist view of the Situa-
tion.

Under the head Of "Apolegetic"
the w estern Christian Advocate of
this week has the following able dis
cussion of the Presidents policy,
and the duty of Christians in rela-
ton TO it.
Not that we believe our Church to
be wrong in the position she is evil
IDENTIFY assuming on national affairs,
but it msy need defending, as Wat
son thought the Bible and Cbristiani-
ty needed an apology. We had
hoped with the war to be able to re-
tire from the arena, which soAe
have stignatised as political, and
therefore affirmed to be outside the
spL ere of religious journalism
The time has come, however, when
it becomes evident that if we main
tain our work at the South, with
President Johnson's policy, it must
be at vast expense of treasure, suf-
fering and life.
1t is demanded that we shall be
silent and let the heritage God has
given us be laid waste, our ministers
murdered, or well nigh murdered,
our people driven from their homes
and slaughtered, our churches and
school houses consumed, because to
tell the cause ei these evils would be
to introduce politics into our paper.
The Advocate quotes some well
authenticated examples of these out
RACES, and continues:
We have a right to speak on such
subjects. We lOH speak. Our Con-
ferences that resolved, in the days OF
Buchanan and thenceforward, that
we are citizens of the whole country
and have the rights and immunities
of citizens everywhere, are again re-
solving in like manner. The people
arc gathering their strength for the
reassertion of the true principle o.
national unity. In the Presidential
tour the evident favoriles of the ma
ton are the men who subdued the re

whites and blacks, above the age OF
twenty-one years the right to vote,
you shall count them all in counting
your people for Congress, but neither
they nor the families to which they
belong shall be counted, if you deny
them the right to vote, whether be-
cause of their particular color or be-
cause they do not own certain
amount of property, or because they
cannot read and write. An abridge
ment Of the suffrage on any Of these
grounds entails a corresponding re-
duction in counting the people for
representation in Congress.
Universal suffrage and universal
representation, or limited suffrage
and partial representation In proper
ton, just IS each State, from Msine
to Texas, may for itself elect, is the
condition of this constitutional
amendment South Csrolina, for in
stance. has q population of 100000
-of which 100000 are whites and
400, 600 are blacks. Taking 100000
as the number required for each
member OF Congress, she will have
seven members If she grants univer-
sal suffrage; but il she cuts off all
her blacks she loses four members,
and proportionately as the suffrage
is restricted by qualification Of
color, property or education to
whites or blacks. This may seem
pretty severe upon the South, but it
applies also, more or less, to every
Northern State, including New York,
which has negro property qualiii-
cation (s250), and Massachusetts,,
where they have q reading and writ
ing qualification. All the States will
haYe to modify their laws to univer-
sal suffrage under this constitutional
amendment or be cut down to a
greater or less extent in their numer-
ations for Congress.
The amendment is going through.
There is no other settlement for the
South. The Governors of the South
ern States ought, therefore, to call
their Legislatures together at once
ana ratify this amendment, so that
with the m Getting of Congress in De
cember they may be all restored TO
both Houses. In this way they can
at once secure the balance OF power
in Congress and put an end to any
further attempt of the Radicals to
apply new restrictions of State re
storation. The Southern States, too,
will thus be put in position to take
their ground and shape their course
to some purpose in view of the Presi-
Dental election. What has been
done in the case of Tennessee
amounts to the adoption Of rule of
admission. The way is plain, the
door is open, and this simple act of
ratification the South will be restor-
ed to its balance of power. 1t is the
ultimatum of the victorious North,
and the South will lose much and
gain nothing by delay in its sdop-
ton.

F. Moore, with q choice ~ delega-
ton from your city, headed by a du-
bious looking bookseller in spetless
white, arrived at noon precisely,
doubtless in expectation. that an
abundance of cheIce viands had been
supplied by the "sons of toll for
their especial accommodation But
the adage, "there is many a slip be
tween the cup and lip" proved teo
true for the digestive organs of the
eopperhead celebrities. The show
was opened by the sable" candidate
trying to make a speech. to what he
thought a very unapprecistive audi
ence, for he had not proceeded far
with his remarks, when he stated
that he was in the wrong place; and
judging from the crowd in atten-
dance, any one wsuld be led to make
the same remark The Colonel's au-
dience consisted, by actual count, Of
nine quasi rebels, twelve Union men,
three boys and one woman; who were
entertained by an hours speech, in
which the taxes, war debt, and the
everlasting nigger were all promis-
cuously discussed. The grandest
sight of the show, was the departure
Of the Gallipolis delegation. which
took place Mt Eve clock. This part
of the performance was free exhibI-
tien and was not in the bills. IL
would have moved the heart of any
one but 4 radical, to have watched
them just previous to their depart
ure, in their vain efforts to obtain
something to stay the insatiate erav-
iDgs of their appetites; with hunger
depicted on each physiognomy, they
would cast anxious glances at each
other, and then at the bystanders, in
hopes, that some one would relent
and care for the stranger in \
strange land" but when the last ray
of hope was dissolved, they shook the
dust from Off their feet, and breathed
silent, but very emphatic anathemas
on our quiet place, and every one
connected with it. The last saw of
them in the dim distance, was sight
worthy an artist; the white coat flut
tering in the breeze seemed to say
hungry. hungry! hungry! this sight
intuitively called to our mind the
"Rogue's march. " This was the
welcome received by Moore and
party, by the ''sons of TOLL" at Gal
lia Furnace All / have to say in

RATs on TIE TRAMP-THEY IETRENcH
THEMsELyEs-GREAT SLAUGHTER
OF VERMIN.
From DAytO Journal, Sept Is.
The rats are swaTning the count
~ west and northwest ofthiS. They
seem to be migrating southwark,
and the weather-seers predict that
there will be a very severe winter
In many places the rats have de-
stroyed the corn, sweet potatoes and
tomatoes; and they have got into
the orchards, and climbing the trees,
they have destroyed much fruit
The great rat army reached New
Castine, Drake county, the other day
and forthwith their scouts took pos
session of everything eatable. A
man in the place, whose stable floor
had given out, determined to have 1t
replaced with q new one. On eN-
anining into the matter, it was as
certained that the space under the
floor was Utterly packed full OF rats!
The owner Immediately circulated
the word, and all the idle men and
dogs in the village were collected
together, and the place was sur
rounded. The workmen then pro-
ceeded to remove the floor, when
the men and dogs pitched In, and
began the work of slaughter. And
thew did not cease until they had
slain s'fifteen hundred and five
rats" And the space in which
these vermin were gathered was
only 20 by "a feet, and one foot and
half deep! The statement is made
to us by truthful men who Witnessed
the slaughter, and it may be taken
for truth, extrsvsgant as 1t may
sound.

Ed. JoURNAL:-SIR:-As notice
had been already given in your pa
per, of the several Union meetings
in this county, Vinton's turn came
last Tuesday, and accordingly n
great many people gathered in from
the county to hear the principles of
the coming campaign developed.
Hon. Jos. Bradbury came in the
forenoon of the same day, and was
called upon TO .'Open his mouth" and
teach them. He responded in a
clear and able speech, giving full
explanation of the principles of re-
construction, according to Johnson
and also according to Congress, the
johnson side was weighed in the
balance and "found wanting" in
many respects. Hon. Samuel Nash
arrived late on the ground, being
called upon to speak he made few
remarks, which were well put, but
reserved his main strength for Ev-
ington, the place where speaking is
needed, where i understand he made
an able and telling speech.
But the main curiosity of the Vim
ton meeting was, that two copper
heads were seen in, or about the
Academy during time OF speaking.
One was in the house but stayed but
a short time, the other an eX captain
in the 173 q. V. L., rode up by the
side Of the meeting house on bis
horse, holding an old shovel plow in
his hands which he had brought to
the blacksmith shop, to be mended,
contented himself by saying to him
self, che that humbleth himself shall
be exalted" III.

Slaughter Of Southern Loyalists
in Arkansas.

We see it stated in our Southern
exchanges that the largest toleration
abouRds in the South, and that Union
men, whether from the North or
natives of the soil, are as safe in
their lives and property rs those who
distinguished themselves as patriots
in the rebel armies. We wish this
were so, and should be glad to be-
ieve it. 1t is with no pleasure that
we record facts going to show the
contrary. 1t affords no qualification
to hear that the old intolerent spirit
is abroad, and that men are hunted
and shot down because during the
war they remained true 70 the Union
of their fathers. But in our desire
to see 4 restored Union and settle
ment OF all differences, we can not
consent to conceal the facts or assert
that peace and conciliaiion prevade
where they do not If men are way
laid and assassinateG because they
did not take part in the rebellion,
but periled their lives to assist in its
subjugation, the people ought to
know it, for the terms of restoration
to Federal rights to those who for
feited them by their treason Will be,
and ought to be, modified by the
temper and disposition of those ask
ing their restoration. When we read
as we do in the Fort Smith New
Era, of Arkansas, that James Kenne-
dy, an ex-member of the Legislature,
JAS. j. StanGeld, Jno. Kennedy and
Geo. Kennedy, formerly members of
a Federal Arkansas regiment, and
Franklin Kennedy, ex-Sherif of
Jefferson County, all Union men,
were bushwhacked and killed within
ten days, and when, in the same
paper, we read that A. ii. Cole, of
Scott County, and the Sheriff of
Pike County, both Union men, were
similarly disposed of, we know,
whatever the papers in tue interests
of the reconstructed may say, that
the same spirit that gloated over the
murder of Union citizens during the
war, and reveled in the starvation of
Union soldiers at Belle Isle and
AndersonYllle, is alive, and only
wants an opportunity to repeat the
atrocities OF the past No amount
of fine writing and rhetorical flourish
and parade OF devotion to the Con-
stitution and the Union will convince
us that those who upheld the flag in
the face Of its enemies, are respect
ed or safe in their habitations- 1t is
very likely that there are placed in
the South where Union men are safe
from the malignant hatred that
hounds them in Arkansas, and assas-
sinates them under cover of the
wilderness or the solitude, but those
places are not SO distant from mill
tary posts that "the avenging Meme
sis in blue NAV not overtake and
punish the guilty. 1t may not be
possible to so govern and control
these States as altogether prevent
such deeds as making Arkansas
reproach, but it is possible to deter
mine the conditions upon which the
people who permit such atrocities to
&c unpunished shall be permitted TO
recover their forfeited rights in the
Federal Union.-Cm. Com.

opened to the inspection Of the public. Recent
ly quantity Of flannel and ordinary gray
cloth, which was in her hold, and was much
moth eaten, has been destroyed, not only be-
cause there was some apprehensions that it
might be infected with yellow fever, but also
because 1t was so much injured as to be com.
paratively worthless. 1t has been stated that
the cloth destroyed in this way was very VAL
