should have liked to know many words
just then, but as well as my hating speech
would permit, l gave him my idea OF the
difference between a politician and an
honest man.
24th of FeBruarv.-Visited the Campo
Panic which is west of the city, near the
sea. At the entrance is a yard filled with
flowers. Through this you pass into an
open space with a high wall around it.
This wall is filed with even-like inches,
each destined to receive a body; the mouth
has a marble slab on which is the inscrip-
ton. Opposite the entrance is a chapel,
very little decorated near are tombs with
large slabs laid over each, the slabs with
long inscriptions and deliberately carved
coat OF arms. The tenants of these vaults
rest in perpettre. There are seven en-
closures communicating with each other
by arched passages, capable of holding
from seven to eight thousand. Theysleep
in the inches twenty years for the rem:
paid at entrance. To the capacity of the
ground there is no limit, since those who
occupy it make but brief stay. Several
negroes, naked to the waist, were digging
the ground, throwing out bones and skulls
some had not lain as long as 1oricks.
As we were coming out of the ingubri-
u place, we had an opportunity to assist
at a funeral. Two men drove up in a
v~olante, one held a small box in his arms.
He stopped at the door of the Office, put
some silver into a mans hand and, with
his companions walked to the spot where
the negroes were digging. The infant
was put in the loose dirt, some coins were
dropped into the grave digger's hand, and
the men turned away bringing the bor NTH
them. 1 asked why it was not left, the
man shrugged his shoulders and muttered
something about eight pssas.
With all my Indifference as to the dis
position made of the cast-of garment of
flesh, 1 should shrink from burying a
friend in Havana.
Under the old regime when the faithful
were buried under and near the churches
the consumptives who came here to die
were deposited outside the city in a field
where medical students went to get their
subjects" and worse still the unclean
beast forbidden to the children Of Israel
was allowed to hasten the return of "dust
to dust" This on the authority of q Pro-
fessOr in the Royal University of Habana.

It is a matter of congratulation that
Ohio, as represented among her Union
men at the capital, is a unit on the Civil
Rights bill. This language is meant to in
clude the Cabinet and both branches of
Congress.
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-04-12


The Copperhead organ of the Admins
tration in Washington, commenting on
the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, thus
foreshadows the course of the President
"On yesterday, the enemies of the Presi-
dent, the Constitution and the country ac-
complished q great victory. Well may
they rejoice over it! Well may they think
that the day is now theirs 1t is theirs.
unless the President shall act boldly, de-
cisively, and above all, promptly. Not
next week, but this week. What is the &C
ton that seems to the mind of every man
as the first thing that Andrew johnson
would do in the like circumstances? 1t is
to surround himself with friends on whom
he can depend, and to rid himself of treach-
erous allies and open, avowed, unblushing
enemies. No President yet ever dreamed
of succeeding in the administration Of the
Government. who did not have a Cabinet
that stood up to him fairly and squarely,
with q zeal aud energy that make his cause
their own"
VIII the President yield to the demands
of his new adherents, and expel from his
councils the tried and faithful servants of
the nation during the rebellion? We
shall soon see.

Gold at Niagara.

1ue 1UIOHlO OLOOt edyss
The good people of the beautiful and
quiet town of Niagara have been startled
by reports that gold has been discovered
in their immediate neighborhood, and
that a company had been formed, which
has leased twelve hundred acres in the
township, upon which to prosecute g
search for the precious metal. In these
days We are not inclined to deny anything
except the possibility of the Fenians at
lacking Canada; and, therefore, offer no
opinion as to the correctness of the foun-
dalton on which the Niagara Gold Com
pany is about to build its airy structure.
The BrsRtford Courier, referring to this
subject, says:
Did anybody imagine that a Canadian
California was so near to US? We are in
formed that gold, the real, pure, shining
yellow dross-has been found on the Mia
CARA river-nsy, that it appears to be suf-
fciently abundant to make mining profit
able. At all events, a company to take it
out is now forming; the leader in the en-
terprise being MI. Thompson, the enter
prising and public spirited manager of
the Erie and Niagara Railway. Rights
to prosecute mining for gold, in various
localities, are being secured, and we may,
ere long, have the pleasure of publishing
regular weekly accounts of shipments
of the precious metal from the Niagara
river.

There is a well-known chant whereof
one of the stanzas runs as follows:
'eWhere, oh where, is good old Moses?
Where, oh where, is good old Moses?

" " utTt1 On WutIt1 Is EUUu UU LuBts
Where, oh where, is good old Moses?

This, however, cannot be applied to the
modern Moses. He has turned his back
upon Sinai and Canaan, and has made
friends again with the e~nchanters and
slave-drivers of the court of Pharaoh.
His coniding followers wander without
their leader in the desert beyond the Red
Sea, amazed and despairing at his part
ing words, bidding them shift for them
selves and seek their Promised Land in
the slave huts of their old masters. They
begin to fear that he was no true Moses,
but a deeeiyer and a hypocrite.

Democracy-tbe all-powerful, the un-
terrified, the once proud Democracy is
dead. 1t died the sth of November, 1865.
Its death was fastened by cruel wounds
inflicted by a merciless soldier, whose
very name is in keeping with his barbsr-
GUS occupation.
Since monuments are all the rage, it is
proposed to erect a more suitable one over
the remains of the illustrious defunct.
The design is already completed, and con-
tributions of the necessary funds will be
welcomed. The base is to be a square
block of stone, cut from the Lias forma-
ton; the shaft is to be OF pure copper
with a coat of arms in bias relief, a SER
pent with his tail in his mouth. The four
faces of the base will be inscribed as fol-
lows:
On the first;
Alexander the Copperhead did much evil.
I'LL Timothy-IN, IA.
On the second:
There was more honest men in York, HOratio,
Than was dreamed of In your philosophy.

A sESATE.As WELL AS A PRESIDENT.

Immediately after the veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill, Washington was
crowded with applicants for Office, who
came lately d~enOlncing Congress and We
hemently indorsing the President. The
main part of these gentlemen were ap-
pointed, but as yet not one has been on
irmed. 1t may be well for office holders
throughout the land, and those who hope
to be, to learn that the direct road to such
positions leads through the Senate as well
as the White House. After the action of
the Senate on the last veto, it is simply
absurd for those who hastily denounce
Congress to expect confirmation at its
hands.
