A branch of the "Church Milit.
ant" which must mend its ways if it
ever becomes a part of the "Church
Triumphant" has been in session
at st. Louis for some time past.
1t is styled San Old School Presby-
terian General Assembly" From
the ereports OF the proceedings which
we have read, zoe should style it "a
New Tangled Concern for propo-
eating sin and disseminating the
works of the Devil" If there is
any christianity pertaining to the
majority of the body, our dictionary
is at fault in its definition of the
term. Instead of charity, concilia-
ton, brotherly love and forbear-
ance, the daily record has been one
of recrimination, backbiting per-
sonal abuse, lying accusations, ex-
hibitions of malice and spirit of
revenge. 1t seems to be actuated
by no higher motive than to earn
and receive the plaudits of all the
Radical infidels in the country TOR
its prostitution of the church to
serve the aims and purposes of un-
scrupulous and insane Abolition
ism. Sam. Galloway, who is desig-
mated in one of the reports as the
Reverend Mr.. Galloway, represents
the Columbus Synod. When such
political mountebank and harle
quin as Sam. Galloway, who never
was inoculated with enough chris
tianity to fill the eye of amusquito,
if it could be reduced to a quantity,
represents a wealthy and infuen-
tlal Synod in church conventicle,
christian men may remain at home,
assured that he will turn it into q
partisan kusking, and disgrace
them and their calling.-[Chillic

FROM WASHINGTON.

The Testimony Against JEFF. Davis
and DEMONSTRATING Develop
ments- False Testimony - HOr-
ace Greeley's Position.
New York, June 1.-THE NOR
ming papers have the following
specials from Washington:
A New Yorker by the name Of
Campbell has just given to the
World some queer revelations con-
corning the testimony lately ad-
duced by the Judiciary Committee
of the House, tending to implicate
jeff. Davis in the assassination
plot. He shows that a gross sys-
tenn of fraud and perjury has been
resorted to prove Davis and Others
conspirators in the matter, and
backs up his assertion by facts that
startle all who are familiar with
the testimony. 1t seems that many
of the witnesses testified under as
sumed names, and that no such
persons as the ostensible and re-
corded witnesses exist. In addi-
ton to this, he states that when
Mr.. Conney, who was the principal
witness and detective in the case,
was asked to proceed to New York
and procure some corroborative ev-
idence of his own statements, which
he had previously volunteered to
furnish, that he gave the officer
who was sent with him the slip in
New York, has actually ran away,
as is supposed, to avoid prosecur
tion for perjury, and has not been
heard from by the officer or COM
mittee for several weeks. Other
witnesses have come forward and
confessed to having sworn falsely.
1t being understood that MIR.
Greeley, who is In Washington, is
in favor of the release of JEFF. Da-
Wis, he was asked by a Radical il
the report was true, Wnen ne re-
torted by asking the interrogation
if he was in indefinite imprison-
ment of the representatives of five
millions Of people without convic-
tion or trial. Mr., Greeley was in
consultation with Senators Chand'
Ter, Wilson and others on the sub
,ject of Davis liberation on bail
and favored it to the extent of alar'
ming, if not displeasing, some o.
his party associates. He left fol
New York this evening.
Mr.. O'Conor is still here, but has
thus far made little or no progress
in the matter. The presumption i:
that he expected to obtain some
favorable consideration of the case
or he would not have devoted sc
much time to it. A day or two
more is expected to decide tht
matter.

Taxpayers, Think of This!

The Deficiency Bill now before
the Rump Congress at Washing
ton, contains some curious items,
which will be interesting to the
taxpayers Of the country.
Among the items is THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR DE-
PRAYING THE EXPENSES OF
LINCOLN'S FUNERAL! =.
Next there is an item OF ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS for the purchase of Ford's
Theatre at Washington where Mr..
Lincoln was assassinated. .
Then we have an item of SEW
ENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS,
to refurnish the Presidents house,
nearly everything valuable in it
having been stolen by some "loyaP
thief at the time of Lincoln's death.
Then again we have an item of
some FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS to be presented to some
loyal young lady, who collected
some statistics in regard to the
army as matter of pastime.
The Taxpayers of the country,
whether Republicans or Democrats,
think of these things. If they. wish
continuance ofsuch extravaganza
and plunder, they have only to
keep the Decentralization party
in office, but if they desire to see
honesty and economy prevail in
public places, they must drive the
Abolition party from power.-[ Mt.

BOuntIes.

Some person writing through the
Gazette in relation to the new
bounty law which has just passed
the lower House of Congress says
"It is a well known fact that the
Copperheads were opposed to the
bill, but the mass of them voted
with the Union members, 1st, be-
cause they could not defeat it I'd,
beause the record would be too
damning on them. The negative
voters were two Copperheads,
Nicholson, of Delaware, and Trim
BILE, of fKentucky. The Union men,
bers who urged this bill to pass
age deserve the greatest credit.
Let the returned patriots keep a
watch out, and spot their and their
cOuntry's enemies"
1t is a well-known fact to every
posted individual in the country,
that the above is purely a tissue of
falsehood. The Democratic party
in Congress, and in the State Leg
islatures have invariably, as a body
voted bounties to the soldiers. Du-
ring the war, Democratic members
of Congress made several efforts
to increase the pay and bounties of
soldiers, and failed in the attempt,
and in the last Legislature in Ohio,
a bounty bill was brought forward
and supported by Democrats and
defeated by Republicans, and the
bill which eventually became a
law was originally introduced by a
Democrat, and could not have been
passed without the aid OF Demo
cratic votes.-[ Chill. Advertiser.

To the Democratic County Central
Committees of Ohio.
COLUMBUS, o., June 7, 1866.

COLUMBUS, o., June Z, 1865.
GENTLEMEN At your late State
Convention the following resolu-
tion was passed:
"On motion of Mr.. Putnam, it
was resolved that the State Cen
trail Committee be instructed to re-
quest the County Central Commit.
tees to raise funds toward the erec-
ton of the monument to the mem
ory Of the late Samuel Medary."
The State Central Committee,
fully concurring in this resolution,
earnestly request your aid in car
rying out its purpose. The mode
you may adopt to raise funds, you
will Of course determine for your
selves; but permit us. to suggest
that you respectively appoint
Treasurer ofthe fund for your coun-
ty, and as many collectors as you
may think proper. Then,all funds
collected in your county might be
paid to such county Treasurer, who
would remit the same to DR.. Will
liam Trevitt, Columbus, Ohio, who
is the General Treasurer Of the
fund.
Let us earnestly appeal to you
to act. without delay. That the OBJ
ject is a noble one, and well worthy
of the patriotic and generous party
to which we belong, every one
feels; and that it can be success
fully accomplished by a little active
exertion, is quite certain. The
trustees do, not expect to waste
money in ostentatious display, but
they wish to erect a monument
that will be an honor to our de-
ceased friend and creditable to the
Democracy, And every cent con.
tributed will be applied to that
purpose, for the Trustees and their
agents all act gratuitously. The
amount raised so far is less than
$1,000. This is not enough to au.
thorize the Trustees to enter into
any engagements. Let US at once
raise the proper amount. To do SC
would not require large contribu-
ton from any individual, and we
are confident that there is no Dem.
ocrat who would not contribute
his mite. Please correspond with
DR.. William Trevitt, Columbus, O..
on the subject.
By order OF the Democratic State
Central Committe.

pecially in securing immediate representa-

The Fenians---President's Procla-
nation.

We publish in another column
the Presidents Proclamation to the
Fenians, enforcing the Neutrality
Law. That the President had the
right, and was in some measure in
duty bound to enforce this law,
none can deny; but in view of the
treacherous manner in which Eng
land ostensibly assumed to enforce
the same law during our late civil
struggle, when she permitted YES
sells to arm and equip within her
jurisdiction, for the use Of the Con-
federate Government, together with
her action in the Semmes' affair,
afford at least sufficient grounds TO
establish a precedent of careless
observance of the law under which
the Fenian enterprise has been at
least temporarily suspended, to
merit a like observance on the part
of our Government now. 1t strikes
us that it would have been the bet
ter, if not the more humane, policy
Of the President, if he were deter.
mined on enforcing the provisions
of this Neutrality Law, when he
first became cognizant Of the exist,
ence of the Fenian movement, and
ere it had reached its eliminating
point, to have then issued his proc.
lamation, thereby preventing the
useless effusion of blood.
That our readers may form some
conception of the law under which
the President has issued his proc.
lamation, we subjoin a few extracts
therefrom:
