PORTAGE COUNTY,

One of the most gratifying signs of the
thrift of the country generally, is the
prosperity of country newspapers. The
halcyon ante-war days seem to be repeat
ing themselves. Enlargement and i'm
provement of newspapers is becoming,
once more, q common occurrence. We
scarcely recognize many of the old
neighborhood journals, SO wonderfully
have they "fxed up" The Ravenns
Democrat appears this week greatly
enlarged and in a new dress. 1t is a
handsome paper, mechanically, edited
with ability, and its publishers deserve
the success they receive. That paper
says:
Upon Friday night last an accident
occurred at the depot of the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad, in Ravenns, re-
sulting in the death Of Albert T. Greasy,
of Denver, Mass, on a freight train on
the Road. He was struck by a passing
locomotive, his right leg cut off below the
knee, his left arm mangled from the hand
to the shoulder, and the fingers and thumb
of the right hand smashed. He died the
next morning.
Since the announcement of Jack
Cooper's reprieve, hat individual has
hardly been the center of interest that
he was before the Governor kindly listen
ed to his request for time. His brother
John, who visited him before his trial,
has made a second pilgrimage to Raven
ma arriving here on the 9Th of April, and
remaining until the 9th, when the
brothers parted forever. Cooper did not
manifest, and it is probable did not feel
any great degree of interest in the visit
of his afflicted relative. The relative Ia
sister, in whose behalf the reprieve was
granted has not been heard from and it
is doubtful if che comes at all. Cooper
enjoys his continued leave of life well,
and nothing like melancholy pervades the
circle of which he is the life. He has
now FIVE associates within the walls of
the prison, a degraded group Of wretches,
to whom the the association with the
chief q first class murder is thing of no
trifing Importance.

From the Oonneaut Reporter:

On Thursday afternoon last the dwell
ing house belonging to Hiram E. Kent,
near Clark's Corners, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, together with q large por-
ton of the furniture.
The citizens of Geneva have filed a
petition to the County Commissioners,
praying that their town may become an
Incorporated village.
P. B. Doty, of C~onneaut, received his
first consignment of crude oil on Friday
last, and has set the refinery which has
been in idleness for a year, into operation.
Mr.. A. j. Cheney, of this township, has
left in our possession a few sheets of the
old stamp paper, manufactured under the
famous Stamp Act passed by the British
Parliament of l765. The sample before
US, was taken from an account book used,
in l772 by Thomas Hamilton. Though
somewhat dingy it presents evidence of
perfection in the manufacture of paper at
that date which is scarcely excelled by
latter day revolutionists.

The principal losses are as follows /:

Entirely covered by insurance. Partially in
sured.
This was the extreme limit of the fire.
The Petroleum Iron Works of McMul-
len & Bryan were saved with the utmost
difficulty. There can be but little doubt
that the fire would have crossed Water
street. had there been any buildings at
that point, but the entire square had been
swept away q few weeks ago by a similar
fire. The burned district presents a cheer
less and desolate appearance. The east
side of Franklin street, from Arch street
to the railroad crossing, embracing a
tract of eight or ten acres, is one unbroken
mass of charred and smoking ruins. The
opposite side of the street exhibits in a
smaller compass the ravages of the fire
fend a few weeks ago. 1t was one of the
prosperous business thoroughfares in the
city, but the buildings were all of wood,
of the balloon pattern, compaotly thrown
together, and as dry as a tinder-box.
Their total destruction by fire under the
influence of a stormy wind seemed a fore
gone conclusion.

Preaident johnson 60 the Negroes

RPeafdemt johnson 60 the NeBrOes'
President Johnson is in some respects
the most unfortunate Of public men, DE
has a singular faculty, while attempting
70 ulease two parties, of disgusting both.
His recent speech to the negroes is q
curious illustration of this misfortune.
II will not eonciliate the Republican
party, for he charges upon the leaders Of
that party that their friendship for the
blacks is all simulated. 1t will not even
cs,ols the negroes to whom 1t was deliv-
cred, for they ara shrewd enough to per-
cstve the demAgOguery which character
ICES Il. On the other hand the g sup
porters of the President-the Wade
Hamptons, Cobbs, Stephenses and Orrs OF
the South, and the Vallandighams, Flor
ences, Van Burens and Clymers Of the
North-will be alienAted by the spectacle
ofthe President of their choice hobnob-
bing with dsrkies.
The speech, which our: photographic dis-
patches have given our readers, is not the
Arst which Mr.. johnson hiss made to the
colored men. Within a year and a half
he addressed in, Nashville a huge throng
of Tennessee freedmen, and the scene has
become historic. The eloqueHce will not
soon be forgotten with which he then
pledged himself to become the Moses of
the freedmen, and to lead them through
the Red Sea of war to the fair land of
Liberty and Peace. Nor will the empha-
sis with which he declared that "loyal
men. whether white or black, should slone
rule the regenerated Republic" be
held in light remembrance Be-
cause Mr.. johnson had made such
pledges, and because the u~nion-loving
people believed that he would be true to
them, he was elected Vice Predd ent
How has he kept these pledges2 How has
he redeemed his promises 10 the freedmen
of the South2 His opposition to them
and 10 all measures for their reliefhas been
persistent and determined He has re-
fused to admit their claims, as the only
loyal people in the late rebellious
States, to an equal share in the
government of these States. He
has vetoed the great measures for their
protection in the common rights of hu-
manity-the Civil Rights Bill and the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill. He has declared
war on the great party which has eman-
cipated and befriended the slave. So
far from allowing only loyal men,
white or black, to rule the
South, he has excluded all black
men from The ballot-boK and admitted all
rebels. Aye, he is even now ~endeavoring
to force back into power the very rebels
whom a year ago he denounced in the
most bitter terms. Is it not astounding
that after making this record Nh. johnson
should have the effrontery TO address an
audience Of negroes and claim that he was
the only resl friend of the colored race,
whiIe the Radicals were, under the gutse
of friendlineS seeking its destruction.

the rebellion in Pennsylvania wss put down

Such queries Is these spring from q
mind which either cannot comprehend the
question with which it deals or desires to
misrepresent it. No one has ever main
tanned that putting down the rebellion
destroyed the State. It was the rebellion
itself-aot its subiugStion-which sub
verted the state government of the rebel
hous states-not the states themselves.
These state governments should be restored
when tbs rebellion is put down-but they
should be restored under the supervision

been greatly reduced. In 1854 they gave
a Democratic majority of 1851. This
